FARM AND GARDEN.
The Delicious Muskinelon.
The common muskinelon is one of the
most healthful and delicious fruits for
summer use. As a market garden crop
it is one of the most profitable,and lienee
its culture is a dcsiraule indmtry. Its
good quulitie- and the protit of it how
ever, depend upon good cultivation, and
this comprises a few es-entials which are
often mis cd or neglected even by pro
fessional growers, it needs a rich soil,
with abundance of carbonaceous matt r
in it, such as a clover sod turned under,
or rich stable manure, for the basis of
its food, and some soluble fertilizer in
addition to force its grotvth. Peruvian
guano, or superphosphate of lime with
blood and flesh manure mixed with it, is
the most useful fertilizer, and aids in se
curing the rapid growth which confers
succulence and high flavor upon the
fruit, aud these are the main secrets of
success in the growth of this crop. Fre
quent and thorough culture is another
essential which comes next to the high
feeding of the crop. —New York Time*.
How Many Grains to the Hill.
In their efforts to get a big crop,
many persons use too much seed, and
thus defeat their purpose. The answer
to the question : “How many grains t”
will properly vary with the locality; yet
the most thoughtful, observant farmers,
the country over, will agree with us that
too many grains are usually put in
the hill or drill. The tendency is toward
fewer grains, but has not progressed fast
enough. The older Western farmers can
yet remember when the rule was to put
seven grains in the hill—two fer the
squirrels, and two for the crows, and
three to grow. Three, or even four, to
grow then, weie not too many, for the
soil was very productive. But some
now plant four to five to grow 1 , and the
general rule is to plant three to five. We
have become convinced that two to three
would be l etter, and suggest that our
Western readers try a few strips with
only two or three plants in the hill, or a
corresponding reduction if the corn is
planted in drills. It is generally sup
posed that fewer grains should be
planted in the Fast than in the West. Is
this correct? In the Fast commercial,
or home-made fertilizers are used more
largely; the yield of crop per acre is
greater East than West, indicating that
the ground is made more productive.
Also, in the East the stover is more de
sired, and the most and best stover is
secured by rather close planting. This
question of how many grains should re
ceive more study, and be the subjec t of
many experiments, in order to ascertain
the facts in the case. —American Agricul
turist.
Good Common Flowers.
A writer in a Pennsylvania local paper
says that, all things considered, there is
no annual flower that affords so much
display in the garden for so little expense
and care as the petunia. The seed is so
fine that it seems as if it might need
some fussing to make it grow. On the
contrary, the petunia springs up like a
weed. The only caution to be observed
is not to bury the seed too deeply; a
slight raking into the surface covers it
sufficiently. It may be started in a hot
bed, but the only need of so starting the
petunia is to have it bloom earlier.
Thete remarks apply to the single pe
tunia. The double does not germinate
so readily.
Drummond phlox makes a very showy
bed in the garden and has the additional
advantage ol being a good flower to cut.
It has a spicy fragrance and a bright,
cheerful look, Some of the reds are
quite dazzling. It grows very readily in
the open air, but is all the better to have
a little start in the hotbed. If the seed
clusters are picked off as sqpn as the
blossoms wilt the flowering will be
much more profuse.
Sweet alyssum, though not all showy
in the garden, is very useful for cutting
to mix with larger flowers. Its fragrance
is liked by most people, too, which is a
point greatly in its favor. A fine speci
men in a hanging pot is not to be de
spised as a house or veranda plant. It is
easily grown and continues in flower a
long time. If at any time it stops
blooming it can soon be started again
by shearing off the old fiow T er stems.
I never realized what a grand orna
mental plant the common poke weed,
Phi/tnlacca decandra, is, until I saw it
standing on a city lawn. It grows to
the height of six or eight feet, branches
freely, and with its reddish stems, glossy
green leaves and purple berries is a
striking object. To the genuine lover of
of plants their rarity or cost is a matter
of secondary consideration; a common
thing, carefully grown, is capable of
giving a high degree of pleasure. I
commend the poke weed as a plant, easily
cultivated, that will attract attention.
One, or at most two specimens are
enough. A young root is most easily
moved and gives greatest satisfaction. It
may be transplanted next month as soon
as the sprouts appear above ground, be
fore much growth takes place. —New
York Herald.
“Interfering” in Horses.
The subject of interfering naturally
interests a good many owners of horses,
and should interest shoers to that extent
that they will give it enough attention
to be able to overcome it in most cases.
There arc several reasons why horses in
terfere; one is, particularly with colts
and young horses, too much work in a
given time, either on the road or farm,
especially in hot weather; another is, too
little nourishing food for the animal that
is asked to do so much work in a given
time; but the greatest reason, I freely
admit, says G. 11. Quinly, in the New
Hampshire Mirror, is improper shoeing,
for of nil the bungling that I have ever
seen in shoeing the greatest has been in
regard to interfering. "When I com
menced to shoe horses I was taught to
pare the feet the lowest on the outside,
the idea being that by so doing the
ankles would be further to one side, so
that the opposite foot could pass it
without hitting. The first case of inter
fering that I had I adopted the above
plan. The horse struck more than ever.
I then used shoes with the inside much
thicker than the outside, so as to tip the
feet out still more. The result was that
“ie horse interfered more yet.
1 then concluded that it was about
time to make use of my own brains, and
lifter considering the subject I decided
to pare the feet level and to use a com
mon light shoe; the horse immediately
'topped striking its ankles and never
struck afterwards. My judgment is that
the canting of the feet out throws the
horse off his balance each step he takes,
and the recovering of his balance causes
him to strike his ankles, and my experi
ence of fifteen years has proven it. I
am indebted to the Centennial exhibition i
held at Philadelphia in ltSiti for the best
idea to prevent interfering. In the gov
ernment building was a department de
voted to the horse, showing several
skeletons, a great many specimens of
deformed feet and a great variety of
horseshoes, one of which illustrated the
idea that lam to speak of. The shoe
was similar to < ommon ones except the
creasing and the position of the nail
holes. The outside crease, instead of
stopping as it usually does, continued
clear round the toe and stopped just
back of the first nail hole on the inside,
so that there were seven nails used, four
on the outside, two at the toe and one on
the inside; the idea being not to have
any nails on the inside of the hoof, and
consequently no clinches to start up and
cut the opposite ankle with.
This form of shoe I adopt for extreme
cases. I us tally make the outside the
heaviest, and have the shoe as light as
possible. The shoe must be fitted per
fectly to the hoof at the outside and toe
where the nails are. The inside should
be set under a little, so as to straighten
the hoof a little at the widest part. The
advantage of th s kind of shoeing is that
it leaves the inside of the hoof in its
natural state, which is, iu a sound foot,
perfectly smooth, ami a perfectly smooth
surface will not cut hairs or skin on the
ankle of a horse. For winter shoeing
place the toe calk just back of the
create. For summer shoeing I use no
calks on driving horses, and frequently
cut the inside branch of the shoe off ,;ust
back of the nail hole. When Ido this I
use thin shoes, so that the foot will
stand about level. Shoes driven on ac
cording to the above plan will not stay
on as long as by the common one, but
they will stay long enough, for horses
that interfere should be shod often, so
that their feet will not get too large for
the wider the hoofs are the more liable
they will be to strike. The shoes should
be nicely filed up, so that there will be i
no rough edges to come in contact with !
the opposite ankles or knees.
Fit the shoes to the feet, with the ex- |
ception of straightening the hoof a little
as above mentioned, and do not allow
the inside branch of the shoe to set out
at the heel or to be longer than the out
side branch. If the Creator had designed
an addition to be built on that part of
the hoof He would have placed it there.
When I use common shoes on horses that
are liable to strike, I use only three
nails on the inside, as the fourth nail
comes at the part of the hoof with which
the horse strikes the opposite ankle;
sometimes I leave out the third, only
using two on the inside. Most of these
remarks refer to shoeing the hind feet.
For horses that are much giveu to strik
ing with the front feet I use the shoe
that is creased and nailed at the toe, as
1 know of no other way to prevent some
horses from cutting their ankles.
There are two classes of men whose
horses I do not expect to shoe so that
they will not interfere. One w T e will call
the sooner if I do not shoe their
horses so that they will stop strikingfim
mediatelvffhey will rush off to some other
shop, not thinking that it is much harder
to correct an evil than it is to prevent it.
The other is the wise class, who assume
to know all about shoeing horses but
really know very little; this class wish
to dictate the shoeing and consequently
must abide the result. I will add that
colts fre (uently interfere before they are
shod on account of their feet being grown
to an unnatural length. This can be
avoided by having them trimmed before
using.
Farm and Garden Notes.
Label all newly planted fruit trees.
Toads are the policemen of the gar
den.
Look after fences before turning ani
mals out to pasture.
Do not let the grindstone stand in the
sun, nor with one side in trough of
water.
“Take up the pen” and make public
experience and methods that have been
valuable to you.
Fly screens put up at doors and win
dows will lighten the woman’s labors
and add to man’s comfort.
Many farmers neglect shoeing until the
shoe rattles. This is wrong and may be
an injury to the horse’s feet. Examine
now.
Do not fail to secure a long supply of
peas, beans and sweet corn by success
ive planting at intervals of about a
week.
Professer Cook's remedy for apple
tree borers is to rub the trunks of the
trees three weeks afier blossoming with
soft soap.
Drainage is often of great local benefit,
but excessive drainage is as unwise as
the exhaustive bleeding of patients, once
in vogue among doctors.
Professor J. W. Sanborn dares main
tain that ensilage has no more feeding
value than the same material would have
possessed had it been dried and housed.
A farmer who keeps sheep can hang
up a lamb at pleasure in the icehouse
during the summer and never have to
eat salt pork or depend on the butcher.
Don’t put thirteen or fifteen eggs
under the setting hen at this season if
you want good results. In cold w eather
nine to eleven eggs are all she can care
for.
When the farmer shall begin to esti
mate the value of sheep from the stand
points of meat, fertility and general ad
vantage to the farm, he will not aiiow
the market pri e of wool to determine
whether or not he will raise them.
Overfeeding is the principal cause of
diseases among poultry, and uncleanli
ness is the next. If these faults are
avoided fowl will thrive well and be
profitable. It is useless to treat sick
fowls; it is better to kill and bury them
and avoid the trouble by better care in
the future.
There are three sure ways for finding
the points of the compass when in the
woods. Three-fourths of the moss on
trees grows on the north side; the
heaviest boughs on spruce trees are al
ways on the south side; and thirdly, the
;opmost twig of every uninjured hem
lock tips to the east.
Dominique fowls originated in this
country. They are very hardy, hence
first class birds for the farms. They are
as good layers as the Plymouth Docks,
but a little below them in size. They are
capital setters and mothers. Both as
broilers and mature fowls they are good
for the table, and, having yellow legs,
sell well in the market.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
The Art of Fish Cookery.
Boiling.—Many cookery books in
struct the uninitiated to fay the fish
in cold water, and then bring it to
the broil; this is a mistake—nay. more;
it is opposed to all the laws of common
science; so here, in a nutshell, is the
whole secret of how it should be done.
Wash your tisli well, but quickly. Have
ready in a shallow vessel some boiling
water, and to each quart or so add au
ounce of salt, a tablespoonful of vinegar,
and half a dozen peppercorns. Have
only just enough water to cover the fish;
too much robs it of flavor. Cook it at
simmering point until done, then take it
up immediately, or it will break and
soak up the water; in a word, it wiil be
spoiled.
Time.—Here is a real difficulty; com
mon sense and experience, aided by cer
tain tests, form the best time tables.
Just by way of a guide, we will say for
thin fiat fish, five to tea minutes to the
po ind: thick fiat fish, twelve to sixteen
or eighteen minutes, and for very th ck
fish, twenty minutes to the pound may
be allowed. All the oily kinds, name!/,
salmon, eels, mackerel, etc., being solid,
are indigestible unless thoroughly
cooked; iu ’eed, many people cannot par
take of them in any form.
When the flesh is the same color
throughout, and leaves the bone easily,
take up your fish: but if near the bone
the flesh is red and raw looking, it is
underdone. It must be carefully dratted,
and should be neatly dished and gar
nished; and if no fish-kettle proper be
at hand, by tying the fish in a thin cloth,
or laying it on a meat trivet set in the
water, the risk of breaking during the
taking up will be conside:ably reduced.
Frying. —The freshness, firmness and
dryness of the lisli have a great deal to
do with the success of the undertaking,
and so has the size; thick fish should be
filleted. Cut the fish, if fiat, down the
centre on each side, then raise the flesh
with a sharp knife, keeping it close to
the bone, and giving sharp, not “hag
gling,” cuts; this gives four fillets,
which, unless very small, should be di
vided again or even twice; they 1 ok
nicer if cut in a rather slanting direc
tion; they may then be simply floured,
or coated with thick batter, or, what is
still nicer, dipped into beaten egg, then
into tine breadcrumbs. The rules for
frying may be briefly summed up as
under-
The fat used should be sufficient to
cover the fish, and it should be gradu
ally heated. It should be quite hot— i. e.,
the bubbling should be over, and the fat
quite still, when a bluish smoke will be
seen to rise from it. The smaller the fish
to be fried the hotter the fat must be.
Do not put too much in at once, or the
temperature of the fat will be reduced,
and the fish will not brown properly.
Drain on kitchen paper or a clean cloth,
and serve on a hot dish. Although we
have given the test for the right heat of
the fat, the novice may employ the
simpler one of putting in a small piece of
bread, and it it brown at once the fat is
ready; this is safer, too, for in waiting
for the blue smoke one may wait too
long; it will turn instantly from blue to
black, and the whole be burnt aud good
for nothing.
Grilling and Broiling.—These terms
are often u-ed synonymously, though
there is a difference; to grill is to cook
on a gridiron over the fire; to broil is to
cook before a tire, the article being sus
pended from a broiler. The rule being
pretty much the same in both cases, we
will speak of grilling. See that the bars
are perfectly clean, grease them a little,
lay on the fish, turn it every
minute until Sprinkle with
salt and pepper, and serve on a hot dish.
“Simple,” you say. Yes, very, if you
have a clear fire; this is an absolute
necessity. Many an invalid -would enjoy
fished cooked in this way, it has so sweet
a flavor, and is so free from grease. We
once heard an old surgeon say: “There
is nothing 1 like so much as a grilled
sole, but l always have to go to my club
to get it.”
Baked Fish. The oven should be of
a good heat, to close the outer surlace of
the fish and keep in the juices; some fat
should be made quite hot in the baking
tin, and used, just the same as for meat,
at any rate for large pieces, or whole fish
of medium size; small ones can be
cooked on a flat tin; a good way is to
coat them with a greased paper.
The fish may be brushed over with
milk, and then floured, or egged and
crumbed; a few raspings sprinkled over
after taking it from the oven will im
prove its appearance. A brown piquant
sauce is a favorite and suitable accom
paniment.
The modes of stewing fish are multitu
dinous, so many variations can be made
in the added ingredients; as a rule, the
simpler ways will produce most enjoy
able results, and just according to the
skill of the cook stewed fish may be
either very delicious or an utter abomi
nation.
As we are here dealing with principles,
space forbids our giving detailed recipes,
so we will close by reminding our
readers that stewing and boiling are not
identical; to stew is to cook at a much
lower temperature than boiling point,
hence longer time must be allowed; and
a brown jar is a good receptacle, because
it is slow to receive heat, and slow to
lose it. If not convenient to place it in
the oven, it can beset into a pan of boil
ing water over the fire, to insure uni
formity of temperature for the stew it
self. A word on behalf of the sick. Any
white fish, just covered with milk and
water, and stewed until tender, is very
delicate; the liquor should be thickened
with a little arrowroot, boiled up, and
poured round the fish.— Cassell's Muga
uric.
Household Hints.
The color of the jelly is spoiled by
boiling too long.
Put very little lard in your bread if
you wish it to be white.
Never pat and smooth down mashed
potato, as it makes it heavy.
Do not, till the soup plate. A half
ladleful is generally enough.
In putting the covers on fruit cans do
not wait till the cans are cold.
The nicest thing to scour knives, brass,
tinware, etc., is sifted-hard-coal ashes.
Sweet milk or cream is excellent for
sunburns or chapped feet on the little
boys.
Egg shells crushed and shaken in glass
bottles half filled with water, will clean
them quickly.

DR. SCHENCK’S
MANDRAKE PILLS
CLEANSE the mucous mem
branes of the stomach and bowels of alt slime
and foreign matter, start the secretions, assist
digestion and assimilation, nutrify the blood.
They relieve the liver of congestion, give it
a chance to extract bile poisons from the
blood, to make them into good bile, and to
secrete just whet is needed. They do not
tear their way and irritate like most purga
tives, but they treat all the surfaces and or
gans, so that the entire system responds.
They are based on scientific principles.
They are entirely rational and natural.
They always do what is claimed for them.
They work on the system in the way claimed.
They work together for the greatest good.
They are not like new and untried medicines.
They need no praise, but only simple men
tion of merit.
Schenck's purely vegetable and
wholly reliable family medicines are for sale
by all Druggists. Every package has neatly
printed directions for use. If you would
understand yourself send for Dr. Schenck's
new Book on Diseases of the Lungs. Liver
and Stomach. Sent free. Address Dr. J.
H. Schenck & Son. Philadelphia, Pa.
