THE FARM AMD GARDEN.
C altar* *f Aawswagas.
j( r . Joseph Harris argues, in the
American Agriculturist, that "the plants
which contain comparatively little nitro
gen require a "sap of the soil,’ rich,
rather than poor, in nitrogen. Turnips
contain comparatively little phosphates,
an d yet soluble phosphates are found of
value as a manure for turnips. Wheat
an( l barley contain comparatively little
nitrogen, while clover, peas and beans
contain a high proportion of nitrogen;
and yet it is a well-known fact that to
produce a good crop of wheat or barley,
the sap of the soil must be richer in ni
trogen than for clover, peas and beans. ”
Reasoning Butter With Brine.
The busy buttermakers in England,
Ireland and Jersey, as well as this coun
try, says the Canadian Farmers’ Advo
cate, are gradually dropping the prac
tice of seasoning butter with salt and
are using brine in its place. Those who
are far enough along to appreciate the
difference between gathering butter in
a lump aud handling it with granule 8
are in a position to adopt brine season
ing with ease and decided benefit. All
that is necessary for a buttermaker to do
is, when the butter has come, to wash
in the usual way with water till it runs
off clear, and then immerse the granules
of butter in brine as strong as it can bo
made, and let the butter lie in it the
tame length of time he would to have
salt dissolve if he had used dry salt, and
then press the butter into a solid form,
avoiding any friction or grinding mo
tion while reducing it to a solid. In
this way all working will be avoided,
and the butter left in the best possible
sondition for keeping, and have an even
color and the highest flavor it is possible
for it to have. By lying in strong brine
a few hours the brine will draw the
water out of the butter the same as dry
salt would.
flow Chicken Feed is Wasted*
There is often a waste of chicken food.
If given too much the hens get too fat,
and do not lay. Such food is a waste,
as it not only prevents egg production,
but is more expensive. Feeding insuf
ficiently is a waste, as it is better to sell
or kill the birds than to feed them in a
manner that does not permit them to be
profitable. It Is a waste to omit a va
riety of food, as the hens cannot lay uu
less they have the materials with which
to produce the eggs required. It is a
waste to feed a flock of fowls for eight
or ten months and then sell them a few
weeks before they begin to produce
something. Such is a common practice.
Many persons will carefully feed a flock
from March to January, and if no eggs
are laid, disgust is the result, and the
consequence is the birds are sent to mar
ket about Christmas, though in a few
weeks more they would probably begin
to lay. Never sell a hen on the ap
proach of spring. No matter how un
profitable she may have been in winter,
it is usual for all hens to lay as the win
ter begins to turn into spring, and the
only way to retrieve loss is to hold on to
them, so as to get some return for food
consumed.
Keeping Onions*
Every year we have many letters,
Joseph Harris writes, asking us for
some method of keeping seed onions. In
our own case, we should not try to keep
them, unless it were a fiw bushels for
family use. 841 them for what you can
get and pocket the loss. There are
many ways of keeping good, sound, ripe,
dry onions. The great point is to keep
them dry. But you must recollect that
even a ripe, dry onion contains at least
8 per cent, of water, and when a large
mass of them are kept together they are
liable to “sweat” and the skins and tops
become damp, and if the temperature
is above freezing they will throw out
roots and commence to grow, just as
they would in the damp soii. If it is
necessary to keep them in a large mass,
put them in a dry place, such as a shed
®r barn, then they will freeze solid and
stay frozen till wanted in spring. They
must be well covered to keep them from
thawing, and you should avoid putting
them in a barn with a basement under
neath, where horses, cattle, sheep or
hogs are kept, as the warmth from the
animals might thaw them out. We
have kept them perfectly on the east
side of a north and south wall, where
the snow drifts several feet high and
remains till spring. They were simply
covered with corn-stalk and leaves.
Knsllag* Facts.
A commentator on ensilage lately re
marked, "The sole purpose of our
farm and dairy is to make us money,
and we are endeavoring to learn how to
produce the most milk at the least cost.
A silo is a receptacle where grasses and
corn is deposited and kept from the air,
on the same principle as we can fruit.
The silo preserves the food in its early
condition, and can be used during the
winter to make milk. We find it neces
sary to get the largest crop possible for
the land to produce, and we have a
com peculiarly adapted to this use.
There has een a great deal of unbelief
to this matter, and farmers seem to be
afraid to take hold of it liecause it is
n ew. Those who have the mind to look
into it soon learn to appreciate its ad
vantages, and those who have silos in-
variably show an increase in the produc
tion of milk. We plant the corn with
drills, with the rows 80 inches apart.
Cultivate two to four times a year, and
and cut it as soon as it com
mences to ear. It is a question whether
ensilage is better to be preserved sweet
or sour, which is not yet decided. The
corn is cut into pieces one inch long,
and it takes about thirt y days to fill
the silo. Feed the cattle forty pounds
daily of the ensilage three times a day,
with a ration of dry cut fodder and
meal twice a day. The cattle do
splendidly on this system of feeding, and
when through milking they are fat, and
sell for beef at good prices.
The Germ of Corn.
Squirrels are very fond of corn, and
will make most destructive work in it
if they find away to the crib. It may
seem surprising that so little and active
an animal as the squirrel should thrive
on a food generally regarded as fatten
ing or heat-giving, rather than valuable
for promoting strenght or activity. But
any one familiar with squirrel ravages in
corn cribs must know that the nimble
thieves do not eat the entire grain, as
the hog or larger animals do. He
daintily selects the chit, eating that and
a little of the starchy portions just
around it. This chit or germ contains
nearly all the albuminous food in the
grain. The part immediately surround
ing the germ probably contains more
albumen than that farther removed. It
is a noteworthy fact that squirrels, rats
and mice, the former especially, take
great care to select only the soundest,
hardest corn, and they do this with un
erring precision. Corn from ears that
squirrels have attacked will certainly
grow,provided the germ is not destroyed
by them. It will be found invariably
hard and the germ free from moisture,
while the best human judges may some
times be deceived by a well glazed ex
terior covering, a germ that has not
fully dried out. The dry germ of well
ripened corn has a nutty flavor which
that which is damp aud unripe does aot
possess. But taking the entire grain,
small, poorly-developed corn contains a
larger proportion of albumen than that
which has grown to full size. [Cultiva

Tomato Culture.
A recent bulletin of the Michigan.
Agricultural Station Bulletin has the fol
lowing in regard to tomatoes: "Three
methods of training tomatoes were em
ployed this year, and another last year.
All the experimental tomatoes were tied
to one, two or three stakes about four
feet high. This method has many ad
vantages. It requires much labor to tie
the plants, a labor which must be re
peated through the growing season. The
tomatoes do not ripen evenly nnd early,
and it requires extraordinary time and
labor to pick them from the dense mass
of stems and foliage. Although the
outlay for the stakes is small, this meth
od of training is still the most expensive
of the four. Last year we laid old boards
lengthwise the rows and close to the
plants supporting them with pieces of
scantling or blocks laid upon the ground
and placed straw upon the boards. This
method kept the tomatoeq clean, but it
appeared to increase the rot. It cer
tainly caused the lower ripe tomatoes to
rot prematurely. In our market patch
this year we adopted two sorts of racks.
The first was a separate rack for each
plant. A stake was driven on either
side of the plant, about fifteen
inches from it, and leaning so
as to make an angle of about twenty de
grees with the perpendicular. Upon
these stakes three cross slats were nailed
in the manner of a ladder. The plant
was allowed to lop upon the racks. It
was found necessary to tie it, however,
and even then branches slipped off or
broke themselves over the slats. The
second of these racks was continuous
throughout the row. About every six
or eight feet a stout stake was driven on
either side of the row and fifteen in
ches from the plant; the stakes, when
firm y driven, standing some over a foot
high. A strip of old boards was nailed
near the top of the posts, along either
side of the row. Then edgings were
tacked across from one side to the other,
four about each plant and a foot apart.
The plant now found itself growing up
between the horizontal edgings, and as
it began to lop the rack held it above
the ground. Upon this simple rack the
tomatoes needed no tying nor training,
and they spread themselves freely to the
sunlight. The circulation of the air
under the racks was so free that there
was no unusual danger from rot. This
is decidedly the best rack which we have
tried. We noticed, also, that the fruit
ripened more uniformly here than on the
plants whiedr were tied to stakes.
Fi-hes and Music.
An Italian has discovered that fishes
are fond of music. To one Signor Ga
retti the honor of the discovery is said
to be due; and recently, with a party of
friends, he is said to have tried the ex
periment on Lake Geneva, which proved
quite successful. Musical note’, espe
cially those produced by the human
voice, attracted the fi-.be* in great num
bers around the boat. Fishermen
should try the experiment [Scientific

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
Too Much aw***!**.
The advisability of giving every npart
ment a vigorous "broom cleaning” at
least once a week has been so strenuously
insisted upon by some notable house
keepers that it has by many been con
verted into an imperative duty. But
looking at the matter in an unprejudiced
light, one cannot clearly sec why a
drawing-room, inhabited perhaps a few
hours of the afternoon aud evening, or
an unoccupied guest-chamber, should
require the same amount of purification
demanded by a sewing, sitting or dining
room. The dustpan and brush are labor
saving machines that do not receive due
appreciation. By thoir aid in removing
a little dust here and a little dust there,
the business of sweeping a whole room
may be deferred at times, when at the
first glance anything less than a com
plete routing out of furniture and dirt
would seem impossble.
Dandelion Salad.
In early spring, as soon as the dande
lion pushes its young leaves above the
soil, the women and children iu parts of
Europe may be seen with knife aud bas
ket cutting them off just below the
crown. An English paper states that
the dandelion, while a wholesome veg
etable, may be used as salad or boiled
like spinach. For salad, use only the
delicate young leaves just after they ap
pear among the grass. For cooking,
either the young or full-grown leaves
may be used, dean and wash the
leaves well, as there is usually fine sand
or earth between them, and let them
stand in cold water for two hours. Drain
them nnd throw them into boiling salted
water, and boil for twenty minutes if
young, and for a half-hour if full grown.
Put the leaves in a colander and press
them to extract all the water, and then
chop them fine. Put in a stewpan two
ounces of butter to two quarts of leaves,
and set it over a brisk fire. As soon as
the butter is melted, sprinkle in a table
spoonful of flour and some salt anil pep
per. Add the dandelion, stir until
thoroughly heated, and then moisten
with milk or broth and serve. [Cultiva

Recipe*.
Nut Cakes.—Half cup of sugar, half
cup of butter, two eggs, half cup of wa
ter, one and one-half cups prepared
flour, one cupful hickory nut kernels
freed from bits of shell and dredged in
flour. Cream the butter and sugar, add
the yolks of the eggs, the water and
flour aud the whites. Last of all, stir
in the nuts. Bake in small tins and ice
if desired.
Minced Veal.—Take three pounds of
uncooked veal, chop fine; add three
beaten eggs, butter the size of an egg,
four rolled crackers, and enough pepper
and salt to season well; one-half grated
nutmeg; mix. Press it into a crock or
earthen dish, and bake half an hour.
When ready to serve, turn it out and
slice down on a platter. Beef is good
prepared in the same manner.
English Oatmeal Porridge.—Wet
one cup of oatmeal and a toaspoonful
of salt into a paste with cold water and
stir into a quart of boiling water; put
into a farina kettle; fill the outer vessel
with boiling water and set at one side of
the range when you go to bed and the
fire is low; stir well before leaving it
and again before setting it over the fire
in the morning. Do not put a spoon in
it again, but cook for more than a hour
before dishing.
Dumplings.—One cup of sweet milk,
one egg, one heaping tablespoonful of
butter, salt, one teaspoonful of soda, two
teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar; rub the
butter with a little flour to a cream, then
add the remaining ingredients, with
enough flour to make it very stiff. Drop
the butter by teaspoonfuls on a greased
pie tin, and steam about thirty minutes.
This will make seven good-sized ones,
which can be divided, and they cannot
fail to be light.
Pot Roast ok Beef.—Get four or five
pounds from the rump, without bone.
Cutgashes lengthwise and lay in strips
of salt pork. Put in a broad pot and
pour in a cup of boiling water. Cover
tightly and let cook about two hours,
turning once. During the last half hour
baste several times. Then put the meat
when done in a covered dish to keep
warm while you cool the gravy by set
ting it in cold water. When the fat
rises skim <ff every particle, return the
gravy to the fire in a saucepan, thicken
with brown flour, boil up nnd serve.
Even the coarser pieces of moat may be
made palatable by this mode of cook

FIGIIUNh a bank.
A B**t*a .Ma* Who Hod I.slaef Faa With
"liver Dollar*.
An amusing encounter between one of
the banks and a prominent business
man is being told at the clubs with tome
unction. Mr the gentleman in
question, was called from home on busi
-1 ncss nnd left with his clerk a blank
chock for any contingencies which bad
not been provided for. During hii
absence a messenger from the bank ap
peared with a draft, aud although offer
ed the cheek declined to receive any
thing but the money. The matter
’ caused the clerk some inconvenience,
I and his employer, on his return, was
deeply indignant at the affair. He
waited a few days until another draft
came through the same bank, when he
went to the Sub Treasury, procured tho
amount due in silver dollars and turned
’ the coin over to the ban < Soon another
draft came along, thia time for *15,000.
This was also paid in silver dollar*, the
bank being pretty well tilled up with
the sacks of specie. When tho third
draft wa* due Mr. X. applied to the
Sub-Treasury for the amount in silver
and was refused. He was naturally in
dignant, perceiving plainly enough that
the refusal was instigated by the presi
dent of the bank, and he protested that,
us an officer of the Govenuent, th* Sub-
I rcasuier had no right to refuse to sell
him ns many silver dollars as ho wished
to buy at any time. The refusal waa
persisted in, however, and Mr X. im
mediately sent a complaint to Secretary
Manning, nt Washington, tho answer to
which arrived in due course of time,
stating that ihe action of the Sub-Treas
urer was illegal nnd unauthorized. In
tlic meantime, as the draft of course hud
to be paid at once, Mr. X. had gone to
different bunks, collected the amount of
silver that he wnnted, piling it. up
loose in cotton baskets lie ascertained
that lie was not obliged to take the
money himself to the bank. and when
the messenger appeared with the draft
he presented him with the immense pile
of silver, remarking that as he had not
beer, able to procure tho money from
the Sub-Treasury in sealed nn stamped
sacks, he supposed it would have to be
counted
"But how am I to carry all that,” the
mea-enger cried in dismay.
Mr. X replied that he really could not
say, and that while a hack might servo
his visitor’s turn, he really did not regard
the matter ns any affair of his. The
messenger had a hack called, and with
assistance got his precious baskets to
the sidewalk.
"What is all that?” demanded the
hackman, eyeing the heavy basket*.
"Why that's silver."
“Do you take me for an expressman,"
asked the driver. “Hi, there, get up!"
and away he drove, leaving the unfortu
nate young man in a worse dilemma
than ever.
The messenger managed, however, to
get the specie to the bank, where it was
presumably counted; nnd in due time
still another draft upon Mr. X. came to
delight the officers ..f the bank, Once
more Mr. presented himself at the Bub-
Treasury, and once more, despite Secre
tary Manning a letter, his demand for
silver wa* refused. Thia time he sent a
telegram to Washington and with great
promptness there came back a dispatch
peremptorily ordering the delivery of
the dollars. The money was paid to the
bank, and feeling by this time a little
weary of the affair, and probably satis
fied that he had amply revenged the
discourtesy shown to him in tlio original
transaction, Mr X. let the matter drop
hero, after notifying all ilia correspon
dent* that ho did not wish to receive
any paper through the offending bank.
She Surely Would.
Two old married men were comparing
experiences, recalling recollections of
love’s young dream, and sipping their
toddy, the other night, when one re
marked :
“My wife was sweet enough to eat
when I married her, but she soured on
me badly.”
“I sometimes wish I had eaten mine:
but she’s too tough now.”
“If she was cut off the same piece ns

Sometime* boys think mother* are in

liberty if it were not for their mothers,
'’others have such searching eyes, eye* I
that »eetn to look right into the heart,
especially if there is anything hiding
there that mothers should know about; :
and this is troublesome. If the boys
would only understand that it is love
that makes the mother’s eyes so keen,
het voice so anxious, her questions so
searching; love that knows all the temp
’ations flint may come to a boy, and the
trouble if there is no wise confident
about ! It is not the anxiety of a Paul

mother A wise man said, “God could
not be everywhere, so he made mother*.”
God tnay scent far off to us sometime*,
but there is mother near, who will lead
us back. Tlie » iscst and best men have
honored their mothers. Few men who
have accomplished a special work in the
world do not give credit to their mother ,
for the help and inspiration that mad* i
their work po siblc In giving this
credit to their mothers they have honored '
themselves, for it proves that n* boy*
they honored her instructions, wer*

When the late Preaident Garfield wa*
inaugurated, the first person he saluted
was his mother, showing plainly the
place she held in his heart, his life.
'J lie world honors nnd respect* the

The neglect of a mother stamps a man
or boy as heartless, ungrateful, if not
cruel. The trillv great mon have never
forgotten those to whom they were most
deeply indebted. Many letter* have
been written about mothers, but few
that show the sorrow that comes if the
full measure of a mother's love has re
ceived no return until too lute to make
it. The poet Gray, in 1765, wrote tho
following letter to a friend:
“It is long since 1 hoard you were

letter informed me site was recovered.
Otherwise 1 had then wrote to you only

CAN THE UNIVEKHAL OONBUMPTIOH M HUO
CESHrUI.LY TREATItII)
Dr. lL>rg*on, ■ loading Erench doctor, ha*
a u*w t ruatinaut for consumption I
He give* an enema of carbonic ackl and
■iilphm-etted hydrogen ga*e«, the latter gaa
caiTjring the former into every part of tba
throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is .Uncle I at alTeat*
the cause remains undisturbed.
What this cause h has lawn stated by per
haps th* highest nulinonary authority in the
world, i. »., the Brouipton Hospital for Con
sumptive*, In Ixin lon, Eng.
This malady *verv ’year < arries off from
one '.v.uth to one-fifth of the entire popu
lation ot England.
Dr. Payne, M I) , M It C. P., I .oil don, ia
authority tor thia statement
The same or a greater proportion of death*
obtains in Anura's.
Ur. Payne also says that one half the total
nuinlier of deaths from all othtr reuse*
have seals of (hi* disease iu the system whlcb
only rramiro some irritant to develop!
Dr. Bormann Hreluner, un eminent Ger
man authority, says that consumption ia
caused by defi -lent nutrition of th* lung*,
by poor blood.
I'neK* authorities cannot lie disputed. Tba
medical world recognises them. Th* urto
• 'id is the irritant in the blosai that nausea
the development of the s<wds which Dr.
Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which |
the lungs and heart, nlao goes through
the kidneys, anil if they are in tlie least dw
ranged they cannot rid the bio, si of it* kill
ing poison The thousand little hair lik*
sewer tulies of the kidneys very easily get
bha'ked up and diseased; ansi wfan th*v do
they corrupt instead of purifying the bloost.
Kidney disease may exist, and yet no ]>ain
occur in that organ, because it is defietent in
nerves of sensation.
Dip your linger in acid every day and it
■oon fosters and is destroyed. Hand acid pot
■oned blood through the lungs every second,
and they soon give way.
'ihe Brouipton lloapital investigation
shown I that 5:3 |>er cent, of the victim, of
cunsuiu, tion were alliictod with deranged
kidneys, which permitted tlie uric, acid poi
son to remain in the blood and irritate iJm
lungs. This uric acid iaalways lighting every
vital organ, and if there be nny inherent
weakness in the lungs it iuovitably causa
pneumonia, cough ami consumption.
Tlie real' ansa of pulmonary tioubles leiug
so authoritatively shown to be fa lity even
though unsiiHpected action of tho kidneys,
explains w hy, in order to mast r the drcaJed
consumption, on* innat rid the blood 01 th*
uric acid irrdant which inflames and bum*
up the lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great s >ecilie.
It Miner's safe cure. The remedy has now
the favor of medical man all over the world
purely ou its merit*. We have no doubt that
If tint kidneys are keptin natural action, eon
sumption and a great many other dlsetuww,
CMM <1 by uric acid, will not only be cured
but will lie prevented.
When tho kidney is healthy, no albnmen
appears in the water, but albumen is found
in Hie water of more than half of those who
die of consumption!
Tliia, then, i* th* condition of things that
alway s precedes consumption: First, weak
cne I kidneys; so <>nd, retained uric acid,
poisoning th > blood; third, the development
of disea e in the lungs l>v the irritant acid*
I arsing through them. Then there Is a lltt.l*
ci ugh in tlie morning, soon thick, yellow
matter is apit up, followed by lon ot flesh
and strength, with dreadful night sweats
und when the patient goes to hl* school
physician for help, he is put on cod liver oil,
which his stmiai'h, weakened also by uri*
a id in tlie blood, < nnnot digest. Because
there is no pain present in the kidneys,
tlie | alient does not think th*y aro affe, ted,
but the kidney acid is doing Its work every
minute, every hour, day and night, aud by
■ nd-by the disease of tho lungs has advanced
until pus is developed, thou com* hemor
rhages, aud at last, tlie glassy star* which d*
notes that the end is near!
A poHt-inortem examination of such can**
-hows that the terrible uric acid has com
pletely desl.roveil tlie s distance of the lung.
It is imiiorsibleto cure Inn < disaaso* whea
tho blood Is poisoned with in Ic a Id.
