In no other kinds of gems shooting are so many shots expemted for every animul killed as in antelope hunting. In uti Its liabiti the firong-liorti is the reverse of iho white-tail deer. The whitotiiil drt-r relies inainlv upon its nose, its sight being only ordinarilv good. The jwtmg-buck, on itie contrary, trusts chielly to Its greai, bulging e)es, situated right at tho has*] of tlis liorns, like a )>air of tM in tela'vu|ics. A white tail spenda the day ill the thickest and most secluded cover and only ventures out at iiigtit. '1 he prongtruck never goes to cover nt all if it can bn I'oasihlv avoided, and ia quite as lively during tho day as at niglit. The white-tail is always seeking to avoid observation. It tissa to oacApe danger bv not being seen, trii-ting by choice always to its power of liiditig and aknlking. The antelnpe. on the other liand. never tries to eacapa observatiou at all, but trusts purely to iti own WAlohfuineat. It dues not care a rap whether or not it ia seen iUalf, so long as it ■van see its foos. The antelope is the beast of the prairie anti the wide rolling plains. It cun travsl very fast for long distances, so it is often ftiiiml many mile* away fr'Mii water,.on sunbaked stretches of ground where the cactus and sage brush ami oooasiotml patches of coarse grass form the only vegstation. In Oi'nset|ii«uce of the flat, o|ien nature of its hatinte, it is a i<eculiar!y dithcnit animal to stalk, and as a rule it is only hy cliatire it can he approached closely, t'n the other haml^ it '^lil olten tlutid still w ithin range f'lr a .very long shot and allow several rounds of cartridges to be fired, which probably only kick up the dust near by. It is always tsiuiuiug the hunter to take a long shot at It, aud it is for tins reason that so many cartruL'es are tired for everv head of antelope bagged. I dle of the features of prong buck charloter is extrema curiosity; even wheu inghtcoed or surprised, so ir.eat is its curiosity Xliat in places wiierc it is not niuoh hunted, it is often possible to aihtre it towani the j^unter by lying down .aiid w.nving a red llag on the end of a-tick. lien tlie antelope sees such a perfonn.mce going on, it runs away a fhort distauee, then goes slower, haka, runs to and tro. siampiug the ground and saorting, and by degrees, in a sm citSion of short runs, approuebes to within range of the reciiuibeut huuier.

In fact, macT farmers sow the cloverseed on the snoxv. tru-ting to the rams ami water from the in‘'itinf snow to carry the seed doxvn aiid assist in covering it. The object in this nietiiod of sowing clover is to secure a crop of wheat and leave the land ic clover, by wiiiefa arrangeraacl no lose of time ensues, wfai.e lbs wheat shades the young clover and protects it agaiost tbe inffuence of the sun during warm weathsr. When tbe land contains wheat that bas been drilled in there is an uneven surface for the clover seed to fall upon, and, as tbe surface of the ground is hard, it it impossible to have the seed cover the ground evenly, as tunners consider themselves fortunate when tne field is evenly covered with young clover. There is a great ios* of 'f'-d bv exposure to severe cold, much of it failing to find covering, while a large porlii'ii i' a!.«o x*a-r,ed away, as xieil a.* destroyed liv bird'.

Getting tbe garden land ready ran be done in winter. Tbe ff.-st duty is to plow the garden if I'ue ground thaws sufficiently, but if this is not leasible spread two inches of well-n tted manure over the ground. The manure sh'^uid be free from litter and iu a fine cooditioB. The seed potatoes for next season require tome attention. Every potato 'that shows the slightest indication of disease should be removedk Tbe seed is the agency by which many diseases are spread, and if the crop was attacked last year it will be well to procure uew seed from elsewhere. Timothy seed is very small, and it is easily destroyed in the ground it too deeply covered. Early in the spring tbe erounO sheuld be harrowed fine, and the seed broadesMted on tbe surface, to be slightly bmsbeti in. It is better to broadcast tbe seed if the field is expected to have an evenly-eovered appearance, as driilinc not only eovara tha

seed too mnoh, bnt causes it to come np too tkiektw in some places and too sparingly in others. Grape vines mav be trimmed at this season. If rot attacked the vines last year the ground shonld be raked over and the refu-e scrapings burned. It will be an advantage to scatter air-slacked lime around tbe base of the vines two or three times in order to assist in destroying the spores. Milk fever, at tbe time of calving, ia doe more to previous high feeding of the cow, after she dries off, than to any other cause.

] New York Ledaer.] There is nothing more demoralizing than a disordered kitchen. It is impossible to work to any advantage with the room npset and in confusion. It is an excellent nian to go aboBi tbe room the last thing et mgbt and see if everTthing is ready for the morning. No ashea, scrape or rabbith of any sort should be left either in the kitchen stove or sink. The ffoor should be swept, the room dusted and tbe furniture arranged in the most convenient fashion. Articles used in the kitchen shonld have one place, and ehooid always be kept there. This is a much mora important point than the yonng housekeeper might at first imagine. A sadden illness, possibly in the night, may necessitate hot water or flinnels, and for this reason, if for no ether, evervthing should have its stated location, and thus avoid delays that might possibly prove fatal. It is well to learn to keep the kitchen in order, as well a* to put it in order wliea it needs it. To learn this to the best advantage takes long practice and untiring watchtuiness. Whenever an article is used, pul ix back where it belongs. Of course, it is very much easier to set all sorts of jiots and pans, plates aud cups, just XX here the first space seems to offer itself, but It IS a work ot very short time in this way to get tbs room into almost inextricable cunlusiuD. To do the best work to the best udvuntage, a kitchen should be proviued with a sufficient number of utensils. Never make the mistaka of getting too many, for too many are almost as bad as too lew. With a surplus, the confusion is greater, even though the convenience of the worker may, for the moment, be better served. Never put dishes away to soak unless absolutely neces-ary. Thereare matrons xrho never wash a bread-pan or a kettle on the same day it is used, if by any possibility they can avoid it. It seems impossible to impress on their minds the fact that, ii tbe kettle or dish bos become the leiut bit scorched or dried, it may be very ea.sily cleaned by filling it with cold water and tilacine it on the back ot the range with a tight cover over it. The warmth and steam will loosen all adher.ug particles, r.nd the use o: a chain dish-cloth will make the task very ea-y. Very greasy disiies should have a bit of sada thrown |hi them, and over this may be poured .some quite hot water. If such d shes are pib-d one above another and allowed to stand in hot water and soak ten ininutes. there will not be the sliglite.st difficulty in gc'.t.ng llieii"|it‘rfccily clean. Nome liou'Ckeeiiers always have at hand a lioltle ol rather strong potash water with wh cii to remove all grease spots trom dishes, tables or door. To prepare this, dis.solve about oiie-hulf of tl>e confeiits of a small can of pota'h in a gaiion of water. Tnis may be kejit ill a jug in the cellar. A jiiut bottle OI llie liquid .siiould ahvay.'i be kejit on the shelf in the kitchen or }<utitry, but alxvays out of reach of meffdhng iittlc hands. If tlie bottle is of suitatile shape, a strong coni around the neck with a nail where it may be hung on the xva’ll will answer the purpose quite as well A teaspooiiful of this Hijuid will be found a mo.st useful adilition to tne water to use for scrubbing the tables. Kettles or frying-pans, in which meat has been cooked, snould be placed on the stove and alloxved to become hot before being washed. This will make the task much more easy and expeditious. .An item, which is second in importance to none, is the care of dislicloths and toxvels. /After using, cloth.s should be throxxn into n pan of water wah a piece of sal-soda or a spoonful of potash solution, placed on the stove and aIloxve>l to bei'ome hot. They mav then be washed out xviih hoap, rin.*ed and hung up to dry. To wring a cloth out of ordinary di-h-water and hang it axvay as ci' an is something that no first-tlas.s tiou'ekteper xvill ever be guilty of doing. The test of neatnts* in many households is the uianuer in xvbich such articles are kept. To Care For I’lniic* and Flowers. New York Tribune., It is not uncommon to hear jieojiie complain that flowers will not grow for them. They have no luck. If you should investigate tfieir houses, you would lind tliat they have no luck in many things, and that xvant of luck HI llieir munagi'ment is merely synonymous w ith want of system. Nothing resists haphazard care like a plant. You can no more play xx ith the delicate iiieclianistn of its life* than you can tamper xvitb tbe xvorks of a watch. i.ike a watch, it must be cared for at regular set hours of the dav, with a system that knows no change or relaxation. A quarter of an hour’s care given the same hour daily will keep a xvindow garden blooming and beautiful all winter. Plants resent too much handling. Water them regularly, keep w itfiered leave* picked off, a-nd above all things keep them free of vermin, but do not handle them too much. The leaves of most plants should he watered not oftener than once a xveek. Then they should he sjirinkled only a little to free them from dust, and a delicate sfmnge should be used to wipe off the under side of fleshy leaves. The amount of xvater xvhich piante require variesuccordirig to the plant, ihere are seme of an aquatic nature, such a.s the calla and some ferns, which should be kept very wet. Other.* of a different nature do not require watering oftener than tw ice a week. As a rule, hoxxever, most jdants should be watered once a day. The best time is in the morning beiore tJie sun begin* to shine in the windoxvs. A half teaspooiiful of guano dissolved ;n a cup of xxuter and poured around each plant is a good stimulant to use once a month, but it shonld not be used too often. There are few things that give a genuine loverof plants more pleasure than to xvatch the groxrtli and thrift of thos« under her own immediate care; to behold t!ie old yet ever new miracle of growth and bloom.

Cooking Beef.

iNew Kogland Farmer.' Meats when used for soup should be put on to cook in cold water; also all salted meats. Where meat is intended to be used as boiled meat it should be {>ut oo io boiling hot water so as to harden tbe fibrine and confine the juices of the meat. The meat should in all cases be kept under the water; turn it frequently, so it mav cook on all sides. It should boil only gently. Allow twenty minutes to a pound. In roA-ting meat in the oven it should be frequently basted, and this is done by dipping the water or juices in the roasting pan over the meat with a spoon. The fire snould not be allowexl to get low before repieni.*hing, a.s It checks the beat Try and keep a steady heat I prefer a covered pan for
