FARM AND GARDEN.
Quince Culture.
E Failure in quince culture is mainly
attributable to two causes—lack of nour
■hm. nt and inattention to borers. The
iuiuce is an insatiable feeder, and an an
nual application of manure, salt and
ashes over the surface soil will in
crease the size of the fruit and groatlv
„h ance its value. Whether or not the
•uit when especially vigorous outgrows
ie work of the codlin-moth is a dirti
ult question to answer, but the fact is,
ees under such iavotabie conditions
ill n most surely bear perfect spcci
iens, even when others near by are
idly affected and the fruit misshapen
id poor. Borers surely prefer the
uinee to all other trees as a home for
or why do we notice so many
,ore of these pests in their roots? The
mpie method of searching for them at
ast once every summer is an efficacious
lode of saving the trees. The little
ass of reddish sawdust indicates their
resence, where a sharp-pointed knife
rill trace them out.—JVVto York Tribune.
For Haying Time.
Hay will keep better in the mows
rithout salt.
If hay is put in too green, bed it down
ard and solid to keep the air out,
A good hav-tedder will often pay for
tfelf in a short time by enabling the
inner to make his hay in one day’s
andling, instead of bunching it up at
ight and opening it again next day,
nth the risk of an additional two hour’s
xposure.
Handle clo.ver as little as possible, ft
ures best in the cock. A good way js
o cut in the afternoon of one day, let
t lie and wilt till the afternoon of the
text, then cock up, doubling the cocks
ach day till cured.
Hay cut in bloom is preferable for
ambs, calves and colts. That cut later,
hough less palatable, is, because of in
reased weight, of greater value as food
or older stock.
A soaking rain or two on hay, and the
übsequent dryings, will leave but little
ess than indigestible, woody fibre,
bout a-< nutritious as so much fence rail
tr sawdust. —New York Herald.
Copperas as a Fertilizer.
Favorable reports from Fiance re
garding copperas as a fertilizer have
mused considerable inquiry of late.
Jopperas has been recommended from
ibroad as a valuable dressing for different
crops. It is claimed that copperas pre
vents mildew, and a very weak solution
destroys moss, etc., the spores of mildew.
An explanation of the favorable effect of
copperas, is that it increases the povser
of the plant for assimilation; there is a
large percentage of fibre and nitrogen,
but the inci eased crops are not due to a
supply of sulphuric acid by the copperas,
as a superphosphates containing an
abundance of the acid proved to have
less effect.
One of the Connecticut station
bulletins cites an instance where
copperas was used as an experiment in
this country on corn with good results.
The chemist of the station, while ap
proving of more experiments in this
direction, does not believe that copperas
will be found geuerallv helpful. He
points out that it will be injurious to
plants when applied in too large
quantities, but that it may be found of
advantage on rich gai den land that has
had an abundance of other fertilizer
material for many years. The general
belief in this country is that copperas as
a fertilizer has little if any value. —New
York World.
Potatoes in Apple Orchards.
Shade is demoralizing to the potato
beetle, and the latter preferably seeks
the sunlight to deposit its eggs on po
tato leaves. There is a popular belief
among farmers that the potato beetle i 3
less destructive to potatoes planted in
apple orchards than to those in open
fields. To this extent the belief is proba
bly warranted. Farther than this, where
apple trees abound the lady bug is apt to
be numerous. It is attracted to the apple
by the plant lice, which often attack the
foliage of this tree early in the spring.
The lady bug and its larva destroys the
eggs of these plant lice, and after these
are gone they take up their home on the
potato plant, and thrive on the eggs of
the potato beetle. The lady bug makes
its home in winter under the rough bark
of old apple trees, and in sheltered
places under their trunks. Thus they are
good supply to begin with, and in moist,
wet seasons will alone sometimes keep
the potato bug from doing much damage
to the crop on the shade of apple trees.
But as no wages are paid to these indus
trious little workers, the potato grower
must not rely upon their aid alone. It
he does not himself keep a sharp eye on
his crop, his insect friends, however bene
ficial as auxiliaries, will leave him in the
lurch. It is not safe for him to depend
on aught save his own vigilance. If he
uses this he cannot be cheated.—Ameri
can Cultivator.
Too Much Tillage.
A Florida correspondent of the Ohio
Farmer writes: “1 oppose emphatically
the notion of many farmers that cultiva
tion must continue uninterruptedly
through a drouth. This would cause,
more injury than benefit. A ‘dust mulch’
in order to answer the purposes of a
mulch, must be let alone; if it is stirred
all the while the dry soil is mingled with
the moist and the driving-out, process is
accelerated. Experience in plowing corn
during a drouth has often shown me this
forcibly. If the ground is as clean and
as mellow several inches deep as it
should be after the drouth has well set in,
cultivation should cease, as weeds will
not come up much until the surface is
wet again. I repeat, a mulch fails of its
best purpose unless it is let alone. I
■will not here enter into the mooted
question as to the source of the moisture
in the soil during a drouth—whether it
comes from the atmosphere by being
strained out in the mellow soil, or from
the subsoii by capillary attract on.
Whatevermay be the explanation agreed
upon by scientists, farmers are concerned
only with the practical fact that the
moisture is there if the soil is mellow,
and is not there if it is hard. And,
further, if, is very certain that if the
surface is often roughed up and turned
over by tillage, the evaporation will be
hastened, on the other hand, if the
surface is nearly level and is underlain
by six inches or n, of very mellow
soil, it may lie for \ \ fks in a severe
drouth and yet retain moisture so near
the top that a slight kick with the toe
of the boot will reveal it. If the soil is
all run together like mortar when the
drouth seta in, it will dry out fast and
become hard, and the plants will suffer.
The prospect is gloomy at best; probably
the wisest course to pursue would be to
break the lumps up as fine as possible as
quickly as may be, with some imple
ment running shallow to create the
dust-mulch; theu let it alone until rain
cawes.”
Cupinjr a Balky Horse.
All who have had any experience with
balky horses, says a writer in the Farm ,
Field and Stockman , know it is no pleasure
to deal with them. We have always held
that the habit of balking was generally
formed through the carelessness or iguor
auce of some driver, that it was a habit
for which the horse was not wholly to
blame. Any helps to overcoming this
habit are always welcome.
Ily horse would pull well on plow or
hariow double, and on a wagon single,
but when hit hed to a wagon double, he
was quite likely to balk. l ean now
work him anywhere, single or double,
and he has not balked once for a year.
Alter trying the horse jockey tricks with
out success, I went to worx upon a plan
of my own, which may be stated in a few
words—l simply cultivated h s forgetful
ness.
When taken out of the barn and
hitched to a wagon, in the first place he
would remember his old habit, but if
worked an hour or two on a harrow be
fore hitching to a wagon, he would in all
probability forget to balk. Again, there
were particular places where he was ac
customed to balk; just before getting to
one of these places I would rein him on
one side or give him an ear of corn,
which tasted so nicely that he could
think of nothing else, and so he would
forget to balk.
That is the key to the whole busi
ness, and one thing more can be said.
Watch the ears of your horse, and when
you see that he is going to stop, say
“whoa!” and when he stops he will
think he did so because you told him to
stop, and will generally start at the
■word. If he refuses to start, do not
whip him nor unhitch at once, but have
some hay in your wagon, let him eat ten,
minutes till he forgets the trouble, then
back up and turn around, and you will
be surprised at the progress you will
make in effecting a permanent cure.
Farm and Garden Notes.
For corn, stir the soil often.
Cut grain before it is too ripe.
Keep the tools sharp and clean.
Assort fruit well for marketing.
Sow some sweet corn for fodder.
Good field drink—Oatmeal water.
Wire makes the best fencing foi
poultry yards.
Buttermilk is a good summer drink
for both town and country.
Working teams should be given a
period of rest, and water in the mid
iorenoon and mid-afternoon.
Old barrel-hoops put around tomato
vines and nailed to stakes driven in the
ground makes an excellent trellis.
A decoction of tobacco—boiled in
water and used cold the next day—is
said to have been found effectual against
the current worm.
Chickens and hogs kept together
won’t work; you will find you have
raised very dear pork. It don’t work to
keep old and young stock together —
keep them separate.
When bees rob one another’s hives,
contract the entrance to the smallest
space possible; it compels the robbers to
pas 3 in singly, thus enabling the bees
inside to repel them.
The difference between poor butter and
good, as measured in the market, is al
ways great enough to pay for good
service in the dairy, where skill is tht
prime factor in securing profit.
The farmer who carries a note-book in
his pocket and jots down his mistakes
as well as his successes in farm work,
will have a very interesting and profit
able book for reference next season.
To make hens lay well give them
plenty of pure water. Water enters
largely into the composition of an egg,
and you will therefore see the need oi
giving them plenty of it—pure and
clean.
Blue-grass is the better for pasture.
Orchard grass is a little earlier in th<
spring, but does not make as much feed
through the season, Sow fifteen poundi
blue-grass seed to the acre, and twenty
five pounds of orchard grass.
Pine straw, or “needle*,” make very
good litter for stables and an absorbent
of the liquid manure. But of them
selves they are not of much value. They
contain six pounds of phosphate of lime
per 1000 pounds, but very little othei
useful matters.
There is perhaps not a nook or cornel
on the average farm but what may be
used for some kind of crop that will pay
well for the raising, and the corners thal
are now eye-sores and bugbears may b(
sources of income that are not exceeded
by any other parts of the farm.
Attacks of the cattle gadfly which
produce the tumors or warbles on the
backs of cattle that are so common, may
be avoided by applying carbolic wash
or crude petroleum to the backs of cat
tie in July and August. Strong buttei
is a useful application to keep off the fly.
Have a place in which to deposil
whatever will bnrn. A shallow tren 1
of proper size should be made to hold
the ashes. When a burning has been
made, cover the trench with boards to
prevent the ashes from being blown
away. By care in gathering the rubbish,
a supply may be secured without outlay
Seven Hundred Times an Uncle.
Frederick Clark, of Damariscotta
Mills, now deceased, was born in
Isobleborough in 1803. He was the six-'
teenth child or a family of twenty chil
dren by the same father and mother.
Eighteen of these children lived to ma
turity, seventeen married and sixteen
had families. His parents both died in
their eighty-fourth year. He was tha
uncle of one hundred and nineteen
nephews and nieces, and a sister held
the relation of aunt to one hundred and
twenty-seven nephews and nieces at her
death, embracing the third generation
only. Before his death he was uncle to
thiee hundred and eighty-seven nephews
and over lour hundred nieces.—Mich

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIR&
To Sweeten a Tainted Barrel.
A tainted meal barrel may be best
sweetened by charring it. It may be
cured by slaking some lime in it and
then well washing it, but it is easier to
char it. Put a small quantity of dry
shavings in the barrel and set them on
fire and let them burn out. The barrel
may then be swept out or washed and
used again at once. If lime is used, put
a peck of it freshly burned into the bar
rel, and pour a pailful of warm water
on it. When it is slaked down add
boiling water until it is thin enough to
stir round with a broom, and thorough
ly rinse the barrel several times during
two days. Then wash it clean with
fresh water.
Keening Sweet Corn.
This easy way of keeping sweet corn,
recommended by the New > ork Tri une.
can be readily tried: When the corn is
not too old cut it from the cob and put
into a stone jar with one-eighth measure
of salt, or more—it cannot be made too
salt. Cover and weigh. It must always
be covered with brine. But a lady found
that even her cow wouldn’t eat corn thus
treated. But later she learned that after
being drained out of the brine it must
be put at once into plenty of boiling
water, boiled ten minutes, then drained
and put into fresh water for a short
time, repeating this the third time,
when it is excellent seasoned with but
ter, pepper and milk or cream, with a
spoonful of sugar to each quart of corn.
Just scald this and then serve.
Lunch Dishes.
Lunches are less formal gatherings
than parties, receptions, and the like,
says a lady correspondent of the Prairie
Farmer, and the refreshments are usual
ly much simpler. Being generally given
in the middle of the day when the ma
jority of the gentlemen are engaged in
business, ladies constitute the principal
attendants. Hats are worn or not as
preferred. Some only serve chocolate
or coffee with wafers, oat meal or other
thin crackers, either with or without
cakes and ice cream. A little more
elaborate lunch includes with coffee and
chocolate, thin sandwiches, or thin slices
of bread and butter, sliced chicken,
boned turkey, or some other nice cold
meat, and some kind of salad, as shrimp,
lobster or chicken salad. After the
plates are removed, if in the berry sea
son, icecream and cake with berries are
served. No doubt in other localities
different customs prevail, but the idea of
the lunch is not so much to bring friends
together for the display of toothsome
dishes, as for the interchange of friendly
greetings and the renewal of pleasant
friendships.
Protection of Clothing from Moths.
It is doubtful if there is any known re
liable and unobjectionable means of pro
tecting clothing from the moth, except
ing that of tightly inclosing it in some
material not subject to the ravages of
this insect. A correspondent of the
Man'ijacturer and Bdlder writes: “I
have had clothing badly moth-eaten
while kept in a bureau made wholly of
red cedar, but have never known the
moth to enter a tighly tied sack of cot
ton cloth. For the preservation of an
overcoat, for example, through the sum
mer, the following is recommended:
Take a piece of unbleached cotton sheet
ing, 45 inches wide and about 10 inches
longer than the coat; fold lengthwise
and sew the side and one end, thus form
ing a sack ten inches longer than the
coat and 224 inches in width. Thor
oughly brush the coat, and hang it up
by a stout cord six or eight inches in
length, passed through the usual tape on
the inside of the collar. While thus sus
pended draw the sack upward over the.
coat, gather the upper end of the coat
closely around the suspending cord, and
tie tightly with another cord. Let the
coat hang until needed for use. When
taken out it will be found free not only
from the ravages of the moth, but from
dust and wrinkles also.”
Recipes.
Princess Potatoes.— Form coid
mashed potatoes into balls, brush them
with melted butter, then with beaten
egg, and place them in a baking pan.
Bake in a very hot oven until a golden
brown.
Chicken Pie. — Joint and boil until
nearly done, and season with salt andj
pepper, make a dough with flour, baking
powder and butter as if for biscuit, roll
out about an inch thick, cut into squares 1
two inches in size, and drop them into
the pot while boiling, keeping the pot
covered until done, which will be in
twenty or thirty minutes; keep a kettlef
of boiling water to pour some in as tha
water boils away.
SquASH. - -Summer squashes are good
only when young, fresh and tender.'
Wash and cut into quarters or small
pieces. The skins and seeds need not
be removed. Cook in boiling, salted,
water twenty minutes, or until tender:
Place the squash in a strainer cloth
mash until smooth; then squeeze the
cloth until the squash is dry. Add a little
cream or butter, salt and pepper and heat
again before serving. j
Rhubarb J am. —Cut the Rhubarb into
pieces about an inch long (not peeled )J
put three-quarters of a pound of powdered
sugar to every pound of rhubarb and
leave till morning, pour the syrup from
it and boil till it thickens, then add the
rhubarb and boil gently a quarter of an
hour; tie down with tissue paper dipped
in white of egg. It will keep good for
a year and is excellent. If the flavor olj
ginger is liked, you can boil some ginger
root in a muslin bag along with the
syrup.
The Time of Thinking.
The time of thinking has been esti
mated. with some interesting results:
It takes about one-tenth second to see a
color, one-seventh second to see a word.
takes longer to see some letters and
words than others. A word can be named
in one-ninth second, whereas one-third
second is needed to name a color. It
takes about two-fifths second to call to
mind the county in which a well-known
town is situated; one-half second to say
which of two eminent men is thought
to be the greater. Those used to reck

than others; those familiar with litera

New Confederation.
The project of a Central American
Confederation has received an impetus
from the action of Costa Kina, in decree
ing that citizens of Nicaragua, Salvador,
Guatemala and Honduras shall henceforth
enjoy all the rights and privileges of her
own citizens when within her bound
aries. As Costa Rica has also called a
congress of the five republics to meet at
San Jose, it is probable that further steps
may be taken lending to their union.
Illoney Made Keeping Hens.
Hundreds of farmers who never kept an ac
count, would kill every "pesky hen” on the
farm, if it was not for the "women folks.” The
women intuitively know that the hens do not
“eat their heads off every six months,” but
properly kept pay better than any other farm
animals.
This is true. A record, simple to keep, so it
would he used and show the facts in detail,
would prove that every hen paid a profit. They
could he made to pay. from one to three dollars
each. Mr. James L. Burgess, Nashua, N. H.,
reported to the Nashau Telegraph that his
wife made a clean net profit last year, of $36.5 |
for eggs alone, from only sixteen hens. Hi j
thinks her success was largely due, to usingl
Sheridan’s Condition Powder, a much adver-J
tised preparation to make hens lay.
Do your hens pay like that? Do you want
to learn how to make them pay better?
Are you in delicate health, and want to com
mence poultry raising, for the sake of open air
employment? If so, get some reliable ail vice
how to do it. A new, enlarged, and much im
proved edition of that valuable book, the Far
cer’s Poultry Raising Guide, has just been
printed. It contains much very practical in
formation.
Among the many new features, which every
..erson who keeps hens should have, is blank
records and accounts for eacn month of the
year. It also contains a long series of very
valuable articles, by A. F. Hunter, “How to
Make Money With a Few Hens.” Of him the
I.owell, Mass., Journal says: “The most sensi
ble poultry literature we have read we find un
der the name A. F. Hunter. He evidently knows
what he is talking about.” These two features
alone, are worth ten times the cost of the book:
which the publishers, I, S. Johnson & Co., 22
Custom House St., Boston, Mass., send, post
paid, for only 25 cents In stamps.
There is really no way that persons on a
farm or near a large town can secure a cash
income, with so little effort, as by keeping* a
few hens. For such, this book is very valu
able. Send to Johnson & Co., for testimonial
circular.
G. W. Cushing, of Hingham, Mass., says: “1
believe the Farmer’s Poultry Raising Guide
which I received with a large can of Sheri
dan’s Powder (all for $1.20) contains more
practical knowledge for a person raising only a
few fowls than many poultry books which cost
two dollars.
