~' h 7k the fa km and home. 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". Tribune. liaising 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. lleclpes. Lettuce Salad— Chop lettuce fine and add a little onion; make a sauce for them in the portion of a tablespoonful of sugar to two of vinegar and a little black pepper. Com Oysters — Six cars of boiled com* cut from the cob and season with salt and pepper, mix with it the yolks of three eggs, well beaten, and one and a half tablespoonfuls of flour; whisk the whites to a stiff frith and add last; fry I in hot butter, one spoonful at a time. Raised Doughnuts —A littlo less than one-half cup of melted lard rubbed into one cup of sugar, one cup of warm sweet milk, one-half cup of yeast, ono egg, one-half teaspoonful of baking soda a little salt, an.' nutmeg or cinnamon; let it rise till light, then turn out on a warm doughboard, but do not roll at all; let it rise till light, then fry. 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 wald. 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.”— San Francisco Chronicle. A Preacher’s Poetic Protest; The Rev. T. J., a good old Prespyter ian minister, well known in Harlem, is a man who can enjoy a joke, even at his own expense, and when occasion offers shows that the keenness and brightness of his wit is not dulled by reason of bis age. During the recent house cleaning time, when he was engaged in preparing his sermon, his wife, as good wives will at times do for all of us, made it rather • hotforhim, and he sadly wended his way to the garret with his writing ma terials. Thence he sent the following down to his spouse: “ When woman rages down below, Wise Solomon tells us where to go: I took the hint without replying, And in the house top now am sighing.’' —New York Op-Town News. CLIPPINGS FOR THE CURIOUS, | In the good old Spanish days bull fights cost about $15,000. A new torpedo boat recently built has attained the remarkable speed of 24.027 knots, or 27. 00 miles an hour. This is believed to be tho fastest time ever reached by any steam vessel. The city called the Hague was origin ally a hunting seat of the counts of Hol- j land. It derived its name from the in- t closing ha'g or hedge which surrounded their magnificent park. A Japanese with an income of SIOOO a year is considered a wealthy man, and a farmer who has SIOO laid by is ranked among the capitalists of his district. In all tho empire, out of a population of 37,000,000, there aro less than 10,000 paupers. It is said that in no part of the world are oranges grown to such perfection or , ■with more ease than in New South Wales. Any one with a garden can grow a few orange trees, tho : rearing of which occasions very little trouble. An association of pharmacists in Paris has been discussing tho old question of the influence of plants in bedrooms upon the health of the occupants. The conclusion is that tho plants aro bene ficial, especially to consumptives, plants without flowers being preferable to those in bloom. In Burnish, tho latest addition to Great Britain's territories, are grown forty varieties of rice, varying in hue from white to black. Many other kinds of edible grains are also produced, one of them being known as “Job’s tears” ! on account of the round, shining, tear like fruit it bears. The farmer of India uses a plow made 1 hf a piece of iron a foot in length, an inch wide and half an inch thick, which is sharpened at the lower end and fixed ! in a triangular piece of woo 1 attached to the yoke on the necks of the bullocks by a rope of manilia grass. This plow tears up the ground like a harrow, ami by hard work can be made to go over nearly an acre of land in a day. The operation of plowing is repeated five or six times before each sowing, or about ten times a year, as two crops are raised. After the last plowing the sower follows after the machine and carefully drops the seed into the furrow. 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. Ail this has come since 1850. — Atlantic. : A Happy Thought. Young wife to husband—l don’t see how we can get along this way much longer.

I have been on the wrong side of oil for three months now, and couldn’t buy enough crude stuff to blow me up if I had to pay cash for it. Wife (happy with a bright idea) —We might fly to Europe. Husband (admiringly)—That’s just it. What a clever little woman you are. I knew we couldn’t swim there, the walk would be certain to be too damp, and we have no money to pay for a steamer passage.

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 SB,OOO and is entirely self support ing. 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 terior the Chinese of New York have now one of the most richly furnished places of worship in the city.— Constitution. Sawed or Resawed. Fly catchers—base ballista.
