AGRICULTURAL.

Ax Eastern fanner recently announced his conversion to ensilage, and announced his intention of immediately building a “cyclone. ” —Chicago Journal.

The chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington says that the soil best adapted for the growth of sorghum for sugar appears to be a sandy loam. An authority says there are $1,900,000,000 invested in the 6,000,000 miles of fences in the United States, and that they have to be renewed on an average once in fifteen years. Thomas R. McConnell, of Scott county, lowa, soaks his wheat in vitriol water for twenty-four hours before sowing as a cure for smut. He uses one pound of vitriol to twenty bushels of wheat.

Very careful experiments made in New York last season, show that the flat culture of potatoes produces the finest tuber and the largest yields. The best results followed the Dutch method of planting, which consists in keeping the surface level, planting a single eye in a place, covering it six inches deep and allowing but a single stalk to grow in a hill, which are a foot apart each way,

A correspondent of the Farmers' Review has practiced during several winters the plan of keeping apples in dry sand, poured into the filled barrels after storing in the cellar, and finds it a “decided improvement’’ on any other ever tried, the fruit remaining till late spring “as crisp and apparently as fresh as when first gathered. ” He does likewise with potatoes, and uses the same sand year after year. The practice of some of the best farmers new is to keep pigs through the summer on green food, cut and carried to the pens, with a little grain,and what milk can be spared after butter making. Spring pigs are thus made to weigh 200 pounds at 7 months old, and, except in the last month, they get little grain. The best time to self such pigs is at the beginning of cold weather, usually in October.

The Indiana Farmer says one of its subscribers kept a record of the time employed in cultivating fourteen acres of corn last season in the old-fashioned way, and finds he gave about two days to the acre. The yield was 800 bushels, over fifty-seven bushels to the acre. He estimated the value of his crop at $320, and the labor expended on it at $l2O, and, deducting expenses, he claims a profit of sl4 per acre. President Ohmer, of the Dayton Horticultural Society, says he knew a man who made a great success with an acre or two of strawberries, gathering from twenty to thirty bushels a day, and he was so elated with his success that, on enlarging his fields, he said “he would gather 100 bushels a day or bust.” He “busted.” His single acre was well attended to; his five acres were necessarily more or less neglected. This scrap of history has been many times repeated —Chicago Journal. A farmer vouches for the following as a prevention of chicken cholera: “Take a tight barrel, saw it in two in the middle, then wash it out good with hot water, so that there is not a particle of bad flavor in it. Then take two quarts of fresh lime and slack it, filling the tub or half barrel full of fresh water; when slacking, add one pound of alum to it and stir it good; let it stand until the sediment has settled and the liquor is clear, and it is ready for use. When using it, take one pint of the clear liquor and add it to one pail of freshwater, and,give your fowls to drink during summer months.” An exchange, speaking of the Central Ohio farmers, says: “They abandoned our old-fogy, antiquated way of allowing every farmer to work out and fool away his own tax according to his own notion. There is a money tax, and the money is used by the lowest responsible bidder who agrees to keep the roads in repair. At one time there were a good many toll roads, but the people are gradually buying them out, so that all roads shall be free. They go much further. They often tax the land a mile or more back from a certain road up to as high as $8 an acre, and make a good pike. This tax is in most cases very willingly paid. Several men assured me that it raised the price of land from 25 to 50 per cent. They could not be induced to go back to dirt roads, using a foot or so of gravel on a well-graded foundation. It is certainly a great treat to live where the roads are good the year round; and a farmer is thereby brought much nearer his neighbors, nearer market and the rest of the world. ”

HOUSEKEEPERS’ HELPS.

Pressed Year. —Take three pounds of veal chopped fine,- two pounds of lean, raw pork, also chopped fine, three eggs, a piece of butter the size of an egg; pepper and salt well; bake two hours. When cold, slice it thin. It is like pressed meat and is very nice. To Remove Paint. —One pound of soft soap, one pound of soda; dissolve in one pint of boiling water jjklay a thick coat (while hot) upon the paint with a brush; leave it for one or two hours until it begins to soften the paint, then scrape off what you can and repeat. When all is removed wash thoroughly with clean water.

Brunswick Black, thinned down with turpentine until it has attained the right tone and color, will, if a little varnish is added—about one-twentieth of the bulk of the black and turpentine —prove a stain for imitating walnut and teak wood. There is no difficulty in getting the mixture to dry hard, and H will fake a coat of Tarnish first class.

Catfish nr Batter. —Cut the fish in pieces about two inches in length and one inch in thickness, beat three eggs rery light, edding salt, pepper, and enough Worcestershire sauce to flavor them; dip the fish in this batter, and ‘ then roll it in commeal or in cracker erumbs; fry in plenty of lard until it jp a dark brown; garnish with lemon sliced, if no greens are available; celery tops, parsley or small and tender lettuce leaves are preferred.

'Rubber Caps. —One objection to the ingrain carpet is that the high heels which servants delight in wearing on thick shoes seem to catch at the threads and drag them out of place, producing a rough surface; another is that the 2egs of heavy chairs have the same effect. One way to save these carpets is to cover the ends of the chair legs with rubber caps at a cost of about 17 cents. The servants’ high heels ai-e, of course amenable to no such remedy. Pincushions. —An English pincushion will be found a very pretty addition to a toilet table. The cushion should be round, with an open space in the center for the reception of a flower vase or glass, and can be either of simple colored paper muslin, covered with lace or muslin, or can be provided more elaborately with an embroidered or painted silk and deep fringe or border-* ing to match. The glass supplied with a few fresh flowers is a great improvei ment to the toilet table. Waste Paper Baskets. —The fashionable color for ornamenting waste paper baskets is a deep rich orange. Scarfs of silk of this hue are drawn carelessly about two sides of square baskets, or draped from the top of those which are round or oval. Orange ribbons are embroidered with daisies or corn-flowers, and drawn slantwise over one side of a basket or ran in and out of the meshes of tha wicketwork in such a way that all the embroidery is fully ahown. Ginger Cookies. — Make a hole in the center of a pan of flour and then pour in one cup of sugar, one of molasses and one of fried meat gravy. Take one egg, one table-spoonful earls of cloves, cinnamon and giuge ; put two tablespoonfuls of saleratuw in a cup and pour on six table-spoonfuls of vinegar, add to the rest and mix very hard, roll thin and bake in a quick oven. Lobster Croquettes.— To the meat of a well-boiled lobster, chopped fine, add pepper, salt and powdered mace. Mix with this one-quarter as much bread crumbs, well rubbed, as you have meat; make into ovates or cones, with two table-spoonfuls of melted butter; roll these in beaten egg, then in pulverized crackers, and fry in butter or very sweet lard. Serve dry and hot, and garnished with crisped parsley.
