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 mond (Me.) Bee. 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 oning can add two to three in less time than others; those familiar with litera ture can remember more quickly than others that Shakespeare wrote ‘•Ham let’’ 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.
