TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE
FARMER AND HOUSEWJFE.
Spring Plowing.
Fall-plowed land should be cross
plowed in the spring, for the reason that
it is consolidated and packed too much
after the six months’ rest to be put in ■
%ood condition for the crops. This, '
however, does not. apply to sod land j
which has been plowed and should not,
be deeply disturbed. This laud should
be worked by a cultivator three or four
inches deep, so that the sod is not dis
turbed, and then thoroughly harrowed
with a barrow with short teeth. Plow
ing is a necessary means for the good cul
ture of the land and should be followed
by harrowing frequently, until the
soil is made tine and mellow and
compact. Thorough tillage of this kind
is indispensable for good crops. To sow’
or plant on fall-plowed laud without this
spring working is a great mistake. If
the land is too wet for working it needs
draining.— New York Tinies.
Potash a« an Insect icicle.
During the recent annual convention
of the fruit-growers, under the auspices
of the Slate board of horticulture, in a
discussion on insecticides, a member of
Han Jose gave his experience with potash.
Being possessed of an old orchard about
the time the scale became prevalent at
Han Jose, he had ample opportunity of
testing insecticides. He started out on !
the basis of potash. He gave the prefer
ence at first t,o potash, because there is
nothing lost in using it, for if |>so be
spent to put it bn the orchard he gets it
back in the course of a few years. He
believes that without potash one will not
get very good fruit.
Mr. Brittan, the San Jose member,
•tarted in on ths potash experiment some
eight years ago, and for two yearn has
not seen a sign of the scale in the old
orchard that had been so badly infested.
Ho began by using pure jiotash, or con
centrated lye, which contains ninety-five
per cent, of potash. He dissolved this
in water at tne rate of one pound of lye
to four gallons of water, and thoroughly
drenched the trees with the solution by
means of a small force-pump. He gave
them all they needed and let it go into
the ground. This treatment, continued,
had finally rid his trees of the scale.
Additional experiments have con
vinced Mr. Brittan that all washes for
Ute extermination of insects should be
based on potash, not only for the imme
diate effect but for the'beneficial effect
afterward. —Neus York World..
Fatal Overfeeding.
’lite owner of seventy-five hogs, kept
among sanitary surroundings- -clean pens,
good air, etc. —complains that fifteen were
suddenly taken with “dizziness as if they
had blind staggers,” and in twenty-four
hours were dead. As adding to the mys
tery of the case it is said; “They had
every comfort and attention; good water i
and all the ground feed they would eat
up clean.” Instead of being a matter
for surprise, this result was the unavoid
able effect of the ground feed; for all
that a hog will eat up clean is decidedly
too much for safety. A pig will cat
until it has no room for another morsel,
and will leave the trough and return to
take a few more mouthfuls. The con- :
sequence is repletion; plethora; excess
of blood; disturbance of the heart’s
action; Congestion of the brain by the
engorgement of the blood vessels, and
apoplexv, which is attended by “dizzi
ness, as if the pigshad blind staggers.”
Let us consider how it would be with
ourselves.
A man provides himself with a rich
banquet three times a day; he fills him
self with meat, pastry, cakes and pies
until he cannot swallow annother mouth
ful and then lies down and sleeps, to
wake and eat again. In a few days he
sees myriads of stars dancing before his
eyes in broad daylight; his head swims
and he staggers as he walks; his skull
feels as if it would burst and his tem
ples throb; still he gorges himself and
the surfeit only makes him still more
ready to eat. That his brain is seriously
affected may be known by the horrid
dreams; the nightmares which disturb
his sleep, lu a short time the blbod Is
filled with bile; eyes become yellow;
tongue is coated with dark brown fur;
breath is foul, boils break out over the
body and the corrupt matter is poured
out from the blood. By and by typhoid
fever appears and in a community where
unwholpfome feeding is the habit the
diaeaae becomes epidemic and scores die.
A physician of large practice in the
South declares that the common typhoid
fever prevalent every year is the neces
aary result of “hogand hominy’*--an ex
cess of carbonaceous food ami a Want of
nitrogenous vkinente to balance the dedi
cate functions of the system. In our
physical natures and functions we arc
like the lower animals, and approach
more nearly to hogs than we are disposed
to admit -subject to like results from
like causes and too apt to suffer from un
• whohsome and ill-balanced eating and
drinking. Our domestic animals’ appe
tites arc encouraged by every persuasive
to riot in excess and wear out the vital
tWßims by overwork. And blind stag
gers, erajKiplcxy, is onebf the common
est results among swine, which are the
most subjected to this fatal overfeeding,
perhaps excepting the direful cholera,
or more truly, typhoid fever, which is
another result occurring from a length
ened course of engorgement among those
which escape the more sudden malady,

Fnmt and Garden Notea.
When skim milk or buttermilk can be
•toured at from two to three cents per
gallon., it jx one of the cheapest foods
that can be given to chickens. It may
a largdy take the place of flush. and will
h induce them to lay early and often.

plenty of room.
Soils are formed by the disintregation
of rock and the decomposition of veget
able matter, The rock furnishes the
mineral part and the vegetation the or
ganic part. Hence the character of the
soil will vary with the kind of rock from
which it was produced, the exteat
decomposition it has undergone and the
j kind and amount of organic matter that
! is mixed with the decomposed rock,
i The craving for salt in animals is nat
| ural, and not a result of the care of man.
I When this country was wild every salt
spring w r as frequented by deer, a fact
that was taken advantage of by the hunt
ers for their capture. Near the ocean
le«s salt is required than further inland,
owing to the fact that the atmoshere is in
a degree charged with salt, and this is
imparted to the growing crops through
the dew and rain.
The cutting of dry cornstalks leaves
some sharp points, which injure, the
stomach, and occasionally with fatal
results. But the tendency of cut corn-
• stalks, if left in large heaps, is to heat
i quickly, which will so soften them that
■ meal will adhere, and can thus be fed
i without loss, as cows will eat butts when
I thus prepared. If corn is cut early the
I coarser parts of the stalk are even more
nutritious than the fine part near the
tassel.
It is more profitable in the long run
.everywhere to feed all the coarse grain
grown on the farm than to sell it« More
ready money is, however, secured by the
latter plnn, and the necessities of most
farmers oblige them to pursue the more
wasteful policy of exhausting fertility
till the soil will no longer pay for culti
vation. When once the exhaustive pro
cess is begun it becomes every year
more difficult to make a change for the
better.
Fruit growers agree that bagging is
the only sure means of protection from
grope rot. Grape vines may be protected
by laying down the vines in the fall and
throwing sufficient dirt over them to
keep them in place. Professor Tracy
says that the grape rot is not the result
of a disease, us the term is generally un
derstood, but is due to a fungus which
comes of spores conveyed to the grapes
through the air. It requires water for
the spores to germinate in, hence, if kept
dry, the grapes wjll be free from rot.
When grown in dry situations, grapes
are less liable to rot than when grown
on wet lands.
Sheep can best be fattened at from one
and a half to two years old. Previous to
this time the wool should pay a reason
able profit upon the keeping. At this age
sheep will take on more fat from the same
amount of feed, and the mutton be of
better quality than if held longer. The
mutton market is most active from about
the Ist of February until the Ist of May,
after this period the supply generally
being lull and prices lower. Sheep fat
tened for the early market require more
feed, better shelter and care, but the
price received generally pays for this ex
tra cost. Those turned into the market
during the summer or fall have the ad
vantage of green feed supplied at less
cost than dry.

Recipes.
To Biioil Ham Nicely.--Slice the
! meat from the ham raw, ®s thin as you
can, then put it into a pan ot cold water;
I set it on the stove in a stewpan and let it
j come to a boil; then have your griddle
hot. and broil the meat with a little but
ter dropped into the pan tind u plentiful
sprinkling of black pepper.
Brown Betty.-—Cut into thin slices
several large apples, have ready buttered
pudding dish; put into this layer of
I grated bread crumbs, then a layer of
: sliced apples; over these sprinkle sugar,
and so on alternately, bread, apples, su
gar, until pudding dish is full, letting
the top layer oe of bread crumbs; on this
place three large lumps of butter, put in
oven and bake brown. Serve hot with
butter und sugar sauce.
Fmi it C’akk.- Soak three
i cups of dried apples over night in warm
• water; chop slightly in the morning, and
then simmer two hours or more in two
, cups of molasses until the apples resem
i ble citron. Make a cake of two eggs,
one cup sugar, one cup sweet milk,
three-fourths cup butter, one and a half
teaspoons soda, flour to make a rather
thick batter,,spice in plenty; putin the
apples and bake in a quick oven. This
is very nice.
j Mhk Biscuit.— Warm one quart of
new milk, and cut up into it a quarter of
a pound of butter; stir well together and
■ let it cool; then add half a cup of yeast,
i a teaspoonful of salt and as much sifted
flour as w ill make a dough stiff enough
:to roll. Lot it stand in a warm place
I until quite light, then roll out about an
I inch thick, and cut into small round
■ cakes. Place them on buttered tins, and
' let them rise again; stick each one with
a fork, and bake twenty minutes in a
quick oven.
Chicken and Cohn Sot p.—Even in the
country' where old fowls must be dis
posed of in some way, it is seldom econ
omical to boil them to pieces just to
j make soup. But if you will save the
I liquor in which these have been boiled
‘ the day before for the table a delightful
soup may be supplied good enough for
. city boarders and company. Take two
! quarts of the liauor left from boiling a
j chicken, cleared of fat after it is cold;
one can of corn, chopped; a tablespoon
ful of butter in one of flower, one table
spoonful of minced parsley and the same
of green onion tops; add pepper and salt
and one enn of boiling milk Boil the
' corn and liquor slowly together for an
hour after they begin to bubble. Rub
thoroughly through a colander, season
and add herbs. Heat to boiling, stir in
the flower mixed with butter, simmer
five minutes and pour it into tureen and
boiling milk.
Household Hints.
Galvanised iron pails for drinking
water rijould not be used. The zinc coat
ing is readily acted upon by water, form
ing a poisonous oxide of zinc.
If yon wish t • keep a sharp kmfe don’t
pul it in hot grea.se; stir your potatoes
white frying or turn meat with a fork or
an old case-knife kept fur the purpose.
. Even pressed glass tumblers should
never be wt one wide the other. W bat
gore in will not always come out, despite
<ht nroverb to the cvrirar .. Or. to speak
more accurately, if it does come oat it
may be in unpleasantly small fragments.
Wet boots and shoes may be kept from
shrinking out of shape in the drying if
as soon as they are taken from the feet
they are tightly stuffed with newspafl srs.
These should not be removed until the
shoes are perfectly dry, as they comi oso
a sort of last to prevent unequal ahi nk
ege cees*quent loss of symmetry.
. In washing forks, spoons, or cups
which have been employed in eating eggs,
it is best to make an application of cold
water with a mop before plunging them
into the boiling suds. Hot water cooks
the egg and thus renders it more difficult
to remove. Common table salt is said to
be excellent for removing egg tarnish
from silver. »
While oxalic-acid, salts of lemon,
sw’eet milk, and vinegar are all of benefit,
in helping to eradicate ink spots, nothing
is superior for w hite linen or cotton goods
to chlorinated soda. It is sold by all
druggists. A few drops poured upon the
stain will remove it within five minutes,
leaving only a slight yellowish tinge,
which will disappear entirely when the
article has been washed. The use of
chlorinated soda must be avoided with
colored or with silk goods. It takes the
dye from the former as well as the ink,
and goes still further with the silk, de
stroying the fabric. It is unsurpassed
for white wash materials, however, as it
does not injure the goods in the least.
This preparation of soda is poisonous,
and should be kept well out of the reach
of children.
A Changeable Toad.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, writing from Southern California,
says; Wchad taken to the bed of the
mountain stream that in tensof thousands
of years had made the mighty canon. It
was filled with huge bowlders, strewn
and tumbled about in chaotic confusion,
as if a stream of rocks had done the work
and water was altogetner a seconiVry
consideration. The rocks had been ( >l
-by the rush and spray of years, tnd
to bound from one to another without
slipping or falling required no Jittle skill.
As I was about to take a leap and had
my gun well in hand as a help, my com
panion seized me, and in an excited
whisper told me to look.
“A rattlesnake?” I asked, hauling back
and sitting down heavily.
“No,” was the reply, given in such a
manner that I became convinced that he
saw either a grizzly or a mountain lion.
“Don’t move,’” and reaching around,
he hauled out, not a weapon, but a pocket
microscope, which, with great caution,
he applied to a small bump on a bowlder
before him.
“Is that what you are breaking a man
all up for?” said I, as the bump became
a frog.
“Is that all?” retorted my friend.
“Why, man, that frog, or treetoad, lam
convinced is a new species. If I should
describe it as Hyla Jonesiiyou might per
haps think it of some importance. Why,
look at it! It’s on aof the most remark
able examples of protective resemblance
you ever saw.”
A close examination of the dmiinutivc
cause of all this excitement showed llrnt
it was indeed wonderfully protected, and
1 had almost stepped upon the animal
that, safe in his disguise,had not
At a casual glance the toad would have
been taken for a prominence on the
bowkier, and now that attention was
directed toward it the mimicry s?em«l
all the more striking, as the animal al
most exactly resembled the stone in color.
The latter was a spotted granite jieculiar
to the mountains here, the spots being
quite large.and pronounced and of ir
regular shhpe, evidently deposits of dark
mica, the remainder of the rock beij'ig
white or neatly so. This mottled sur
face was reproduced on th? toad’s back
as if painted, and even the delicate legs,
with their disc-tipped toes, shared the.
ornamentation.
“I’ve seen green tree toads on green
leaves,” said my companion, “but this
beats them all. It is evidently a tree toad
adapted to a life among the bowlders of
this stream. Now to show you the per
footion of this protection I will start it up
and see what the result will lie.”
The toad was forthwith touched with
a twig and with a mighty leap landed
upon a rock that was nearly white, round
and smooth. Wc sat down upon a neigli
boring bowlder und waited for the chaugt
that nature was to make in the little har
lequin. in five minutes by the watrfc
this had taken place. The black spefl
that had represented the mica were
rapidly fading out, the other |wrtion
also losing their dark tint. Quickly the
change went on. and in a comparatively
short time the spotted toad was of almost
the exact hue as its new base, and as in
conspicuous ns it had been before, and
would, as in the former case, have been
passed by as a mere prominence upon the
rock. Another touch, and the little
creature sprang upon another bowlder,
from which it was finally driven upon
one almost black. Again the curious
change was noticed, dark patches coming
out and the skin assuming the same tint
as it had while on the granite. The spots
continued to grow, increasing their di
ameter until at last they all fu-ed to
gether and the toad became almost black
ami equally as inconspicuous as before.
In an attempt to drive it upon an alder it
finally escaped.

Supports for House Plants.
"When we grow fuchsias, or other tall
slender plants, tays the American Agri
culturist, some support becomes neces
sary. We are using as supports to a 1
p.nnts of a slender spreading growth,
small iron rods with holes punched
through them. Through these holes we
pass wires, which reach out on all sides,
and furnish support to all branches that
need if, without being conspicuous in
the least. When painted, they will
hardly be noticed. Ihe branches seem
to support themselves. Os course, a
small rod of iron thrust into the ground
as one would a stick, will not remain
firm very long. To prevent this, we in
structed the blacksfnith to weld two
other pieces of iron of the same size to
the bottom of the rod, then to spread
each prong thus formed out at right
angles to the rod; then to bend the
prongs down again at right angles. 1 his
gives a very strong support to the rod.
when the three prongs are inserted in tbe
soil of the pot. They brace against each
other, and the pot will tip over befote
the rod will. If vines are to be grown
on. a trellis, Ihe latter may be hastened
to such a rod by strings, or wires wound
about the bar, and through holes, as
may be necessary. The cost of such
supports is trifling compared with that
of irellises soid at seed stores and imple
ment houses. They may be constructed
in various designs, according to individ
ual taste, and are preferable in many
respects to the former.
