Sheep Manure.
The value of any manure depends upon
t he kind of food which the animals have
eaten Cows for instance which have
tXn fed upon straw, cannot make
manure which would contain any more
fertilizing properties than the straw, and
in fact it would contain less, because the
v,,a had used some of the most valuable
elements of the straw for her subsistence,
go if sheep had been fed upon straw or
cornstalks their manure is of no more
fertilizing value than these are, but it is
true that the finely broken and partly di
gested matter ia more easily decomposed
than the coarse straw, and hence the
manure is more available. But when the
sheep have been fed upon rich food, as
bran, corn, and linseed meal, the manure
becomes much richer, and from its finely
comminuted condition makes the best
kind of fertilizer. It is exceedingly
valuable for corn, because it is rich in
all the elements of plant food which corn
requires and is so rapidly available. We
prefer to plow it under in such away
that the subsequent harrowing mixes it
thoroughly with the soil. —Wew 1 ork
Times.
Care of the Team.
It is astonishing how little care some
farm teams get. They come from plowing
or harrowing, all dusty, sweaty, and with
skin worn oil in places, it may be, by
hard harness that does not fit. Into the
stables they go, and the curry comb and
brush scarcely ever touches them, and
as for washing off the dried sweat and
rubbing them down, that is never done.
They go into the field in the morning,
perhaps they have been watered and per
haps not, and they are compelled to wait
until noon time, when, if allowed to
drink, they will take more than is good
for them. It is only humane to manage
some way so that, on the hottest days,
the work-team may have more frequent
opportunity to drink than once at morn
ing, noon and night. In respect to feed,
let it be cut hay mixed with meal. It is
most economical; horses will do best on
it and work the hardest. It is an error
to feed horses all the hay he will eat.
Make up the deficiency in grain, and, if
oats are fed, twelve quarts per day is as
much as a horse can digest well, and,
unless they arc digested, of course they
do no good. Above all, feed regularly,
and do not over feed. On the other
hand, do not expect a horse to do heavy
work on light rations.
Culture of Corn.
A Pennsylvania farmer says: A great
mistake often nude is that of ploughing
too deep for this crop: if the young roots
have to go down far to reach the sod, the
plant will start slow and be stunted at
the beginning. In my neighborhood the
one-horse planter or drill has come
into.general use; it puts one kernel in a
place, giving the corn plenty of elbow
room, besides the advantage of the fer
tilizer attachment, by which any strong
fine manure can be applied in the hill
(by simply running it through a common
sand screen), and thus help greatly to
start a crop. For the last year or two,
as soon as the seed is well sprouted and
firmly rooted, we go over the rows with
hand-rakes and lightly rake the surface
before the corn is rightly up; and then
follow with the two-horse cultivator as
soon as possible. After which we rake
and cultivate time about till it becomes
too large for the rake, and is not easily
covered with clods; but the cultivator is
kept going as steady and long as possible
and not injure the earing out. In this
way we are able to keep the weeds from
starting at all, leaving the field clean for
future use. And our experience is that
all seeming extra work is found to have
paid when the corn is measured in the
fall. I recommend a trial of the rake;
it loosens the soil around the young
stalks; will not tear them out; besides
it saves the back-aching job of hoeing.
The Small Tomatoes.
Soon after promotion of the tomato to
a position among most valued garden es
culents the miniature varieties were
brought prominently to notice, and in
the good old gardening days no more
popular “preserve” or pickle was seen on
the farmer’s table. An occasional com
promise was “sweet pickle,” a toothsome
relish partaking of the characters of both
the other forms. There has been no
change in these pretty little varieties of
late years, but they are almost unknown
to the majority of tomato growers. Still
they possess decided merit in the way of
re.iability and great productiveness; in
fact, during a disastrous season when the
large solid kinds have rotted badly the
small varieties presented a mass of per
fect fruit.
The most curious and at the same
time most ornamental of the latter class
18 properly known as the Currant tomato,
with fruit very little, if any larger than
the Cherry currant. Next in size is the
Cherry tomato, with both yellow and red
varieties, and these arc especially recom
mended for conserves, being of mild,
pleasant flavor. The Plum, or, as it is
most frequently called, the Pear tomato,
for the shade of difference is too slight
to notice, is likewise represented by both
fellow and red, and these appeared to be
the most highly prized by our ancestors.
A size yet larger and entirely globular is
very appropriate for salads, as the firm
texture of the flesh is unexcelled. In
this class are several new introductions I
of decided merit. Croppie in A r . J".

Among the common salads there is
none in such general demand for the ta
ble as lettuce. It is an easy grower, and
yet it needs for its best development a
good soil and careful culture. Lettuce
is too often treated as a subsidiary crop,
and is sown too thickly in seed beds and
grown too thickly together. The let
tuce bed should always, where possible,
be set apart from the rest of the garden
in some way so that it may be cultivated
freely without disturbing other vegeta
bles. Not only should the soil be mel
low, deep and highly enriched with ma
nure, but it should have full exposure to
the air, with perfect draining. In the
opinion of Mr. William Earley, an au
thority on the kitchen garden, those
who would secure a fine growth of let
tuce should give their chief attention to
its culture in the early summer or in the
autumn months. The heat and aridity
of moderately dry summers too generally
hurry its growth into flowering and the
seed form. To secure the autumn crop
a sowing should be made during the sec
ond or third week in July, choosing
cloudy or rainy v eather, if possible. For
main crop the seed is usually sown by
market gardeners in the open ground
about the middle of September, and
transplanted to cold frames as soon as
large enough to handle, being wintered
over in the same manner as early cab
bage. Plants have been known to come
out in the spring perfectly fresh from
seed sown in the open ground in the mid
dle of September. Lettuce is a plant of
comparatively tender growth, and unless
care is taken to promptly destroy all
weeds, it may be quickly choked up so
as to be worthless. The kinds best to use
are those known as black seeded Simpson
and salamander; the one is a curled
leaf variety, the other is plain or smooth
leaved, and forms a solid head.
Sunflower Culture.
W. I. Cook, of Castile, N. Y., writes
as follows to the Cultivator-. I desire to
call the attention of your readers to the
value of sunflowers to every cultivator of
the soil, especially to poultrymen. Con
sidering its value, the sunflower is the
most neglected plant in this country.
It is a plant that will thrive almost any
where, and on any soil that will produce
beans. After a long and successful ex
perience in its culture, I am satisfied
that the sunflower is a most useful plant
and may be utilized in several ways. As
a food for fowls, it has no superior or
even equal, adding great brilliancy to
the plumage and promoting vigor and
health. For feeding live stock also it
will produce very satisfactory results.
This plant is of great value in purify
ing the air in localities where malaria
abounds. It is entirely exempt from the
attacks of noxious insects. When
thoroughly aried the stalks make the
best and cheapest kindling wood in such
districts as Kansas, Nebraska and
Dakota, where fuel is scarce and dear.
In some sections in the above State sun
flowers are grown by the acre for the
purposes of fuel. In Europe, especially
in Russia, the manufacture of oil from
sunflower seeds is a leading industry.
The culture of the sunflower is the
same as that of corn, except the plants
should be 1 1-2 feet apart in the row.
No plant will respond to thorough culti
vation with greater profit than the sun
flower. It matures in this latitude in
seventy-five to eighty-five days. I grow
the Mammoth Russian variety, and con
sider it the most hardy productive and
profitable, at the same time the earliest
to mature. The variety originated in
central Russia, and was introduced into
this country eight years ago by the Rus
sian Mennonites. This variety has stalks
C to 8 1-2 feet in height and one to two
inches in diameter, with heads as large in
dtameter as a water-pail. Some speci
mens grow even larger, with large gray
seeds, providing they are thoroughly
cultivated.
Iloii.ehol.t Hints.
Do not let coffee and tea stand in tin.
All the mending should be done once
a week if possible.
The oftener carpets are shaken the bet
ter; the dirt that collects under them
grinds out the thread.
Linen rags should be carefully saved,
as they are extremely useful in sickness;
if greatly worn, scrape them into lint.
Apples intended for dumplings should
not have the core taken out of them, as
they impart a delicate flavor to the
dumplings.
“Willful waste makes woeful want.”
Do not cook another joint while any of
the last remains uneaten. Hash it up and
with gravy and a little management make
out another day’s dinner.

Pickled Chicken Boil four chickens
until tender enough for meat to fall from
bones, put meat in a stone jar and pour
over it three pints of cold, good cider
vinegar and a pint and a half of tho
water in which the chickens were boiled;
add spices if preferred and it will be
ready for use in two days. This is a
popular Sunday evening dish; it is good
for luncheon at any time.
Lemon Pie— One teacup of granulated
sugar, juice of one len\on, three eggs,
the yolks of three, and the white of one,
and three tablespoonfuls of sweet milk.
Put all in a pan together, stir until well
mixed, and bake with lower crust. When
almost done, whip the remaining two
whites of eggs to a light snow, previously
adding three tablespoonfuls of white
sugar. When the pie Is thoroughly done
spread the icing over the top, and return
to the oven to brown.
Brelzels.
In the Cincinnati orchard there docs
not grow a choicer fruit than the bretzel.
Bretzels arc ripe at this season of the
year, and are toothsome at all periods.
Their advantage over the apple lies in
the fact that they do not decay. To the
average citizen of Cincinnati they arc
preferable to oranges or bananas, because
they are simply delicious with beer. It
has been stated that the bretzel is a sec
ond cousin to the Wicner-wurst, but this
has been officially denied.
The bretzel can stand any amount of
wear and tear and knocking about with
out becoming bruised and mellow, and
without losing any of its famed juiciness
or rich flavor.
The winds do blow and the dust and
soot do settle on his bretzels, but that
makes no difference ta the boy, the
bretzels or purchaser. lie (the boy) sells
them a dozen for five cents, and the coat
of sand and soot added to the salty rind
of the fruit is said to improve it. In the
beer halls the bretzel boy is in his glory.
You can hear his plaintive song every
afternoon and evening. His tune never
changes, and the boys at all the places
must have rehearsed together and got it
down fine, for it always sounds the same
—a long-drawn-out, monotonous cry of
“B-r e-t-z-e-l-s.” Some men in this city
are said to have eaten in one evening at
an Over-the-Rliine beer hall over fifty
bretzels each. If this is a fact, to even
up and quench the thirst caused by the
fruit a man would be required to drink
200 beers in the same length of time,
which would not be a great feat for a
man who claims to be a beer-drinker
after all.— Cincinnati Enquirer.
Flowerland.
The terrestrial flowerland par excel
lence is the Caspian slope of the Caucasus
range, near the pass of Derbent, the an
cient Pylaj Caucasus. The mountains,
to a height of five thousand feet, are all
summer aflame with flowers, both in the
forest and open glades. All sorts of
blooming creepers stretch their festoons
from tree to tree; flowery mountain mea
dows attract swarms of butterflies; holly
hocks and tiger-lilies are found near the
upper limits of arboreal vegetation. A
correspondent of the A-udand, who vis
ited that Caspian Florida in the com
pany of a party of Russian railway sur
veyors, came to the conclusion that the
highlands cf the east were, after all, na
ture’s favorite garden spots, and that the
master races of mankind who abandoned
that paradise have in many respects gone
further to fare worse.— Dr. Felix L. Os

Not Ohl Enough.
An American relates that he was once
traveling in England, and he was staying
for a week at a large country house,
which was, as usual at that season, full
of guests, invited like myself. It was
an old estate and had the usual display
of oaks, which are so handsome and pic
turesque a feature of English country
parks. He was walking through the
park one day with a haughty, aristocratic
lady. “Have you any trees in America?”
she suddenly asked him. He was too
much taken aback to speak for a moment,
and before he could reply, she broke in:
“Why, what a silly question I have
asked you 1 Os course you haven’t any
trees. The country isn’t old enough.”—

The London of To-day.
Wo speak of the rapid changes in our
American cities, but nothing like the
changes of London can exist with us
Growth is not a change of this kind.
Paris alone, in certain respects, can show
such metamorphoses as London. But on,
the whole, Paris, as I saw it at this first J
visit to the Old World, was more like,
the Paris one secs now than was London
of 1850 like the London of to-day. The
mere question of growth is a miner mat
ter. London was not the metropolis of
the world in 1850, and now is. Then it j
was only a huger provincial town. The
Londoner in general measured nothing
but himself, ami nobody came to Lon
don for anything but hardware, good
walking-boots, saddles, etc.; now it is
the entrepot of the civilized world. The
World’s Fair of 1851 and succeeding '
similar displays of what cosmopolite in
dustry can do, the common arrival of
ocean steamers, rare at the time I am
writing of, have changed the entire char
acter of London life and business and
the tone of its society. It is not merely
in the fact that 48,000 houses were built
iu the capital in the last year, or that
you find colonies of French, Italians,
Russians, Greeks in it, but that the
houses arc no longer what they were in
side or out, and thus the foreigner is an
assimilated ingredient in its philosophy.

A NOVELTY IN CHINATOWN.
A Jons llitmti for W orship of < liinnineii
In New York.
Pedestrians up and uown Chatham
street, or as it is now known. Park Row,
New York City, have noticed an unusu
ally large number of Chinamen arrayed
in holiday attire passing in and out of the
narrow hallway of 202 Mott Street. It
is not an imposing looking entrance; it
opens directly upon a steep stairway,
and the only suggestive feature is a stri;
of red paper over the doorway, which
looks as if it was a label torn <ll a pack
age of tire crackers. It bears the name
of “Joss,” ami tells the devotedly in I
elined Celestial that the temple is up
stairs. Early last week the new interior
fittings of tlie temple, the altar, tables
and chairs, arrived here from China ami
were put in place. Now the unpreteml
ing third floor of 202 Mott street con
tains some of the finest specimens of I
Chinese art in that city. The altar is of I
carved ebony, practically a large frame i
for the picture of Joss and his attendant
deities, executed on satin in the most :
elaborate styleof Chinese art. anda heavy I
table for holding the incense burners ami
votive offerings. As a whole the carv
ings represent the universe; along the j
bottom, under the table, is the sea, with ,
fish, aquatic plants, and the huge turtle
upon which, according to Chinese my
thology, the earth is supposed to rest.
From each side rise trees, shrubs, and
heavily carved foliage, with birdsand an
imals among the branches. The branches
interlock over the top, and the whole is
backed with heavy plate gins. mirrors,
representing the heavens thickly studded
with golden stars. The chairs and ta
bles are in the same style of rich Oriental
carving, ami the room is lighted by carved
lanterns hanging from the ceiling.
The walls are hung with Chinese mottoes,
the air is heavy with incense, and it is
hard to believe that we are in New York
and not in Cathay.
The whole affair cost the Chinese rcsi
dents of New York between s(‘>,ooo and

They have queer features in their re
ligion which was quaintly explained to
me by the old priest in charge. 1 noticed
that a large portion of the worshipers
would come in. make their obeisance to
the altar, burn a few prayer sticks ami
go out. Some, however, remained a
longer time and gave the priest sums
varying from twenty live cents to a dol
lar. In response to my inquiry he said:
“A man can say all he wants to in
three minutes, so he have three minutes
for nothing; if he have good deal to say,
lie pays twenty-five cents for the next
three minutes, fifty for the next three,
ami so on. No good to pray too long.”
Then he added after a moment’s reflec
tion: “In Melican church man talks an
hour ami everybody pray two hours or t wo
hours and a half, then make collection
beg to pay the minister. Chinese way,
5(10 or 000 people pray two hours we
make two or three thousand dollars.”
The system strikes me ns a good one. It
pays the expenses of the temple and dis
courages garrulity. With its dingy ex
