AGRICULTURAL.

Ax Eastern farmer recently announced bis conversion to ensilage, »*d ■announced his intention of immediately building a “cyclone.” —Chicago Jour * fMI The chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington says that the 9011 best adapted for the growth of fcorghum for sugar appears to be a sandy loam. 1 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 Hew 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 now is to keep pigs through the snjmer on green food, cut and carried Ao pens, with a little grain, and What SBk can be spared after butter making. Spring pigs are thus made to weigh 200 pounds at 7 months old, and, exoept in the last month, they get little rin. The best time to sell such pigs 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 tne old-fashioned Way, and finds he gave about two days to the aore. 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 Ims 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 live 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 tho 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 tho liquor is clear, and it is ready for use. YVhen using it, take one pint of .the clear liquor and add it to one pail of fresh water, and give your fowls to drink during summer months.” Ax 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 lepuiv. 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 o? more back from a certain road up t* as high as $8 an acre, and make a go«d p:ke. This tax is in most cases very willingly pold. 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 th» world. ”

SUGGESTIONS OF VALUE.

Stained glass grows more popular every day. It is particularly effective for vestibule doors, where it is seldom seen. Brass stair-rods are becoming tha fashion. They are particularly effective when used over soft red or blue velvet carpet. The newest mantel lambrequins are made of plush, cut in “tongues,” each “tongue” being embroidered or painted in a different design. A match safe made from a small, round jar, covered with crimson plush, with two small pipes gilded and tied on with a ribbon, is very attractive. Is grease or oil is spilled on a carpet, sprinkle flour or fine meal over the spot as soon as possible. Let, it lie for several hours, and it tnu absorb the grease. _ j

the mgn, stin oacaea soiss nave gone entirely out of fashion. They are now made with soft, curving, comfortable backs. The handsomest sofas are cwvered with pfcsbfei artistic blues and reds, and are made either of ebony or rosewood. Black kid gloves are sometimes a source of annoyance on account of little white streaks at the seams. This trouble may be diminished by coloring a little salad oil with black ink, then rub this over white places with-a feather; dry quickly outside the window. A Great return for a small investment is realized by purchasing a small soldering outfit for a boy. He becomes at once a useful member of the family; old basins and pans become as new after the transforming touch of his soldering iron, and there are great posibilities in tin cans, and small pieces of tin; sugar sifters and funnels are among them.

When using lemons for any purpose, a will be found an economical plan to grate the v <dlow rind off, mix it v ith an equal quantity of sugar, and put it up in an empty box with a tight cover. This will be delicious for flavoring custards, molasses-cake and anything else where lemon extract is used. It retains the strength of the lemon while cooking and is much more delicate to the taste than the oil or extract of lemon.

A small economy, but one not to be despised, especially in large families, is to save bits of toilet soap when they begin to waste. When a pint or even half a pint is collected, put in a bowl, add boiling water and stir. Set away, and, as it evaporates add a little boiling water and stir well. Do this every day till all the lumps have disappeared. Then add a few drops of oil of cinnamon or oil of cologne. Wet a deep, narrow pan in cold water, pour in thf soap and leave it to mold. After two or three days turn it oat and leave to dry. The result will be an acceptable toilet soap.

Can* chairs are more osed than ever. They are now painted in colors to harmonize with the remainder of the foxfuture in the room. The cane arm 7»irs have the backs and seats oushioßed either with plush or velvet, while the rockers are generally ornamented with bows and ends of some bright colored satin ribbon. The shapes in odd chairs are very old-fashioned, and grow more ancient every day. The latest is a dainty-looking,though moist uncomfortable, ohair of Queen Elizabeth’s time. It is manufactured in highly polished rosewood, and has cushions made of peacock bine plush, embroidered iu moss iroso-btfip.

A very nice way to masea cornstarch pudding is to put half a peach In the bottom of a cup and then poui corn-starch blanc mange over it. When ready to serve, turn from the cup into a saucer.
