Japan, April 13, 1SG, Minister Richard B. Ilubbari enters an emphatic denial of the truthfulness of the canards put in circulation about his boornbness and want of civilty in the discharge of tue delicate duties of his ctf.ee. The following is the gist of his rejoinder: Alter expressing hia acknowledgements to tre journals who denied the correctness of these slanderous reports, and apologizine for Li somewhat undignified course in" publicly rsenting them, Minister Hubbard says: "I Lave been saved the necessity of entering heretofore into any formal controversy on this account or of denouncing the unknown and irresponsible authors of these Munchausen stories which have been published in America. Tbe reckless anl malicious mforn ers from this side of the Pacific if indeed they originated here, and who would rot dare to make known their nam en here knew that the slanders would first be printed 7,X0 miles from Japan, and doubtless hoped to instil the poison of their malice and inCict the wrong intended many months before it foul J possibly be corrected from the distant Kast. WHAT THE FALSEHOODS WERE. "These bold falsehoods, saying in substance that the United States Minister htd curbed Japan in the presence of the Mika-lo and insulted the French Minis er at his own fctate dinner, and that be introduced an American Admiral improperly at Court, only created wonder here at the audacity of tie falsehood and contempt for the anony mous and cowardly libeller." Admitting that stories of this character generally have a prain or truth in them, he says those puo-Li-ted about him lack this essential in toto. BE IS EVEKYTHIVU HE OUGHT TO BE. He closes as follows: "KnowinkT, aid Ttry grateful, too, that my on Gover&meat appreciate the fact, that neither the trjod name nr the interests of the United .States Lave thus far suffered at my hands.

OUR FARM BUDGET.

Get Ready fcr Haying Preserving Fodder Milk for bfra?. A Day' Journey for a Horse Green or Hotted MHbuir Hog Paatore Cheapest I'onlt-MiK Ci.ltnre Bonnehold Itiuts and Farm Not.. Get Ready for Haying. Kural World.) It is now only the first of May and many will say 'there is no hurry about thinking of baying; plenty of time for that after we have got through planting corn." But the time before haying begins will slip by faster than one thinks, and unless preparations are made soon this mc-t important crop will sufTer by delays occurring when every moment is pre:ious, and the loss of an hour often costs many dollar in lost and injurrd hay. The importance of having an ample sup ply of good hay for winter feeding is not fully appreciated by our farmei j. It Is more truly the staff of life to our domestic animal than is bread to man, and all kinds of stock will thrive on it a'one if properly grown and secured. Even hogs relish the sweet early tut hay in the winter. But hay, to be relished and nounsh:n iLUst ' " harvested at the proper time and la the right way.. Just as bread can be made soegy, r idigestible and ini iritiors by im proper making and baking, so ci hay be ma ie of litt'e or no value by improper management. Mu'-h of tbe good quality of hay is de pendent on the time when it ia cu Eveu the most carelers farmer will admit that grass can stand so long es to be of little value, and they also know that it can be cut too early to get the most and best hay. It is evldentf then, that tfcere is a time when the hay is at Its best. "When this is has not been fully determined in tbe minds of all who have considered the matter, but all will agree that there is a time when the gra"s has reached its test, and from then on it loses its value each day. The weigl of uu-hority asserts thaf, as a rule, grass is at its best when the seed is in the milk, some claiming it is a little before, some a little after this time. But wbarevtr is the exact time, there is but little to ?are, and the haymaker must needs be ready itb 8ll of his tools in order and everything in readiiie, so there will be as little delay as possible when haying has once commeiiced. It is rone too early for the farnier'to begin to look after his hay machinery, and see that it is in good repair. If ne w machinery is to be roucbt he should take ample time to con sider the merits and demerits of such as he is to buy. Haying machinery has been perfect? 1 to a wonderful degree. Not many year ao this werk was the most larous on the fir. Son all the woik, from cutting the crass to my irg the hay away in the barn is done by ho-so power. J he amount of machinery cecesnry in hßj ing, of course, depends ou the amount of mg to be done, and it will sometimes pay to hire a portion of the machinery rather than buy it all. Near neighbors can. if th?y only will, buy many haying and ether farm tools in partnership, and thus save money. ALorserake, for instance, is not usually needed more than a few hours at a time, and, by mutual arrangements, can be made to seive the two farms. ßlieside the mower and rake that are consideiaoie Ir.iuspensiblc, tnere are bavin? too's which it will pay many to have A hay tender is a valuable aid in miking hay, especially when the grass is heavy. Tbe bst of Lay Is that cut, cured and housed the same day, but when tbe grass is lank and green it is difiicult to drys sufficiently without turning, and to do this by hand is slow work. , Haydoaders, sackers, horse-forks, etc., are a'l of great service when rightly managr-. Success in handling any machinery depends upon the user understanding it thoroughly, benee another reason for p-ocming what tools that are to be bought early enoagti so f to give time to become familiar with them. If machines are to be sent to the shop for repairs have it done at the first opportunity. A machine can be hauled to town cheaper when the team is going there for some other purpose than when a special trip is made with it. If new parts are to be oidered from the innfacturers it can be done without the f f a delay costing many times the cost ot the repairs. 1'reaerving Fodder. Mr. L. T. Hazen. of llazen'p Mills, M. If.. informs the New England Farmer that he has been very successful in putting in and keeping corn ensilage for his large herd of dairy stock, some" l'JU in number, fed for butter making. His figures and estimates show about ÖO0 tons of green corn grown last year, :;."0 of which was put in the silo, the remainder being fed in the fall while in the fresh state. The total cost of the ensilage put into tbe silo and and weighed down was afrpction less than seventy -five cents per ton. He has fed ensilage in connection with dry fodder, about balf of each, the dry fodder beii:g half hay and half green oats cured for Lay. For this crop the seed was sown at the rate of five bushels per acre, giving a fine, soft quality ot fodder, fully equal to ordinary bay. A larger silo will be built the present season, the supply of en ilage baviug been exhausted so trie weeks ago. The relative value of the ensilage, as coropami to dry fodder, was illustrated by the jield of butter before and after the change was made to dry feed. The enyilae was exhausted at the end of a week. Monday and Wednesday following, five good Jerej were added to the herd of sixty-six which were in milk, but notwithstanding this increase of the herd, the butter vield fell oil' twelve pounds the first week. Wuile tl e eiifrilagr lasted, it saved the feeding of 1Ö0 tons of hay, which in Mr. Hazen's rality i worth per ton, or He filled bis fiio &!ow,y, let the contents acq lire a high e'erre of hear, and th:nks he has as good a quality of ensilatre as he has vr seen. Before building his ailo he ewvijt and read all the best authorities on ensilage. Milk fur t'lve. Mr. J. N". Muncey, of Jesu p, la, writes The Dairy World: It is a well settled poiut among the farmers of this locality that the kim-ioilk from the new milk hauled to the separator, once a day, is not first eins fo fetdiug calvs. A number condemn the f--l arred milk, assuming that the machine attects its feed-'ng value. This is a great mi-j-Uiie. The difficulty lies largely in the care thken of the milk before it is sant to the sep arator. In cold weather, when the mlk Is taken to the factory once a day, the ruleä of the company hre do not require that the new milk be immediately cooled to MJ degrees or tbat it be cooled at all. The consequence is that at many times the new milk is partly sour before it rons through the separator, and all other milk with which it is mixed is, of course, damaged for feeding calvs. The fanlt is not with the macaiue alwajs. The proprietors of creameries to te eminently aucces-ful in operating paratoi should compel the patrons tcool all milk to sixty degrees betöre eidine it to the creamery. By so doing tnn far ners will t ot find the fanlt that they Mve in this and othr localities. I was informed rontlp. while in the vicinity of Klei, that this ostein of cooling the new milk bs'ore it left the farm was a decided succs and tbat tbe separated sk in ir ilk could he kept awet for twenty-fur noun afur i wa retnri.ed. proTidine it was in cold wate'. If the prejudices of the patrons are developed.

it will be difficult to change them so that inexperienced men should be careful to have ti e skim-milk returned in excellent condition. That centrifugal separators are of practical use to creameries does not now need proof. The only thing now necessary in tbe west is to compel patrons to cool the new milk before it leaves the farm. If this is not done in tbe west the patronage will rapidly decrease; I can cite several examples already of mon who quit sending because of tbe inferior skim-miLc

A Da j 'a Journey for w Horae. According to Hon. John K. Kapell. Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, the regular daily journey of the horse should not exceed twelve or thirteen miles. This is as great a distance, he thinks, as can be economically allotted a horse as a day's journey for every day in tbe week. If he has a longer daily journey he must have a day or two orl each week. The day's work of the traveling horse is based on the experience of stae and car companies. For the stage, where more speed is required, ten miles have been found the limit of an economical day's journey. But a great deal depends on the speed. Give the horse plenty of time and he can do a lonper daily journey than he can if he is urged beyond an easy gait. In emergencies a gooc horse can do fifty or sixty miles a day. Seventy-five and eighty miles have been driven. But such long, fast journeys are very trying to tbe horse, and he needs to be managed with great care and judgment to prevent harm from such violent, continued exertion. Such driving can not be repeated often with safety. The regular day's journey should be lengthened or enomned according' to tbe condition and character of the road and the weight of the load. Then there is a difference in individual?, and what one horse does with ease may be very hard for another. Feed and care are also factors in the problem not to be overlooked. (ire en or Kotted Manure. Some professors and scientific agriculturists have declared that the practice of carting manure ii.to heaps or turning it in tbe yards, en as to 8sist decomposition, is very wasteful ; while others take an almost exactly contrary view. In green or unrotted manure ammonia and it) sal's are present in a limited degree. But as decomposition advances the ammonia increases, and it is alleged by those who are opposed to the making of dung heaps that during fermentation the ammonia escapes, and especially so when the heap is not covered, as the soluble matters are washed out by rain. And those who bold these views assert that manure .-hould be spread upon land in its greeu state, just as it is found when first removed from the yards. And some of them go on to say that the manure should not be plowed in, but left uoon the surface to be washed into the soil. But the truth is that none of these theories is entirely correct. There are some who assert tf.at rotten manure must perforce be best, because it is u-ually found that a particular quantity of rotten prouueesa greater effect than an equal quantity of unrotten. Bat it must not be forgotten that it takes nearly two loads of grtn manure to make one load of rotten, so great is the diminution of bulk during dcomjotn!on. It may be taken as an axiom that it is best t apply the manure to the land in the condition it happens to be when the weather is suitable and the land requiies it. And it may also be taken as rqually true tbat, where the circumstances of the case admit of the practice, it is best to ajply it in iis green state. Soft Cheese from .kiin .Milk. A f ilter in the London Times things that solt cheese can be profitably made from skim milk. He says: "It will be remembered how in the model dairy at the Brighton show last summer Mr. Long gave explanatory demonstration of the simple methods of making three kinds of soft cheese employii g tuch elementary appliances as tinned iron Loops, beech boards, straw mats, milk vessels, draining shelves and a thermometer. Anjbody can learn the processes, and a few experiments will teach the practice of ripening the tbe cheeses in an apartment having a regulaied temperature proper for the develoiment of the necessary white mold followed by blue mold, producing the most admired llavor. From a gallon of whole milk costing 6 pene, be made Brie cheese (the most famous French varieties) worth at ten days to three months old from 1 shilling to 1 shilling J pence; from half gallon of milk, ha'f of it skimmed, valued at 2 pence, he made Coulommiers, a round chet x woith at least $ i ence; and from skim-milk only, cost ids: about 1 pence, he made a Square variety, of bis own invention named Gravely cheese, partaking of the qualities of Liniburg of Germany and the Livarot of France. Farmers must not mind a little trouble if tbey can thereby convert skimmilk into a product salable at treble or quadruple the value of the milk. Nearly six millions of the delicious Brie cheessesare made annually in five arrondissements suppling I'aris. Feeding Growing Pigs. Farm. Field and Stockman. The hog has usually been fedas if he were capable of digesting all that could be crammed into his stomach, and he has been treated as if he were as hardy as a wild boar, and could endure extremes of heat, cold, filth and neglect. Now, the ho can only digest a certain amount of U od within a given time, and wheu he has eaten too much he buffer in consequence, and especially if the food is of a kind not adapted to bis req uirement His digestive organs can be dit arranged as easily as cau those of a horse, and hlth taken into the tystem will cause him to Income diseased the same as is pejuliar to humans. The accepted theory re garding cholera now is that it is a form of typhoid fever, and if this is true there is but one conclusion to arrive af, which is that filth is at the bottom of the difficulty. 1 he eating of filth is bad enough, but the drink ing of nlthy water is worse, as the anient! ia then thirsty, and tbe hlth being in a sol ible condition, is at once carried to every portion of the body. The auoposition tbat the kidneys cause the impurities to be eliminated is true only when the animal is in a healthy condition. It the surrounding are filthy ihe pores of the body will be closed. If, in feeding hogs, the farmer witl abandon the practice of attempting to keep them in an excessively fat condition while tney are grotuns, he will lind that they will enless labor of management and be mor thriftv. while the excellent health in wnicb be will rind them when ready for being fattened will enable them to take on more fat. and at less cost, than to keep them fat the whole 3 ear All that is required with crowing pigs is to afioid them a variety of food and to keep their quarters cleau. Above all give them as much fresh water as they can drink. If slop is fed place it in a trough, where it will be eaten up clean instead of btiuK scattered about to ferment. SI ip is not really filthy food. It is only when it is in a state of decomposition and filled with disease germs that it becomes Injurious, but to comj el pigs to eat where they have deposited manure, or to drink water that has become impregnated with the same, will cauie disease to break out in any herd. The Cheapest Poultry. Rosse Messenger. J To raise and feed, the duck is cheapest, next the hen, third the guinea-hen.

The duck will eat a good deal, is a voracious feeder in fact, but it is an industrioui forager, and, having the range of larger yards or meadows, will keep fat on what It will pick up. It may have the range of tae fields, as it interferes very little with the crops. As it lays a good many eggs, it fays for its keep almost as well as the hen. t should have a bouse and range apart from other poultry. The domestic hen, though it needs liberal feeding, soon pays it all back in eggs, and is or may be made the most profitable of all poultry. There is a great difference in the value of breeds.

Silk Culture for the Toons Folks. Commercial Gazette.l The subject of silk culture has been attracting much attention lately from those of our young people who wish to earn a little money during their summer vacation; and this has been more particularly the case since the Government has been helping on the work by providing better markets for the cocoons. Now, in addition to the three markets provided by the Government, there are two run by private fir jas, and two more are to be opened this springone in the South and one in the West. Cocoons are worth from seventy-five cents to $1.50 per pound, according to quality, and the quality depends mostly on the purity of the eggs and the care that is given to the silk werma. 1 received a letter to-day from a young lady who procured eggs of me last spring. She said the Government firm in Philadelphia loughtall her cocoons, paying $1 per pound for the whole cocoons and fifty-live cents per pound for the pierced ones. She felt to pleased with the success of her five week's work tbat she intends hatching a much larger number this season. One person can hatch and care for. the silk worms from one ounce (40, OjO) of eggs if he have plenty of tne right kind of good food near bv. Mulberry, either white or black, or osage orange is the right food to produce good silk. Crisp lettuce can be used for the first few days, and one lady sent me a lovely cocoon which she said ras from oak leaves, and I fed a few of my silk worms on currant leaves last year 8S an experiment. I kept them on a separate tray in the cocoonery. They thrived well, and when they were ready to spin, at the end of the fourth week, they traveled over to the next tray, and I could rot tell their cocoons from the others, sj I shall need to try tbe experiment over before 1 lind out if the cocoons are of as good quality as those fed on osage or mulberry. Where one hss an osage hedge the only expense is for an instruction book (thirty cents) and from 51 to $4 worth of eggs. For a large crop it is best to make trays to hold the silk wurros. and for these old laths, twine and tack? may be utilized. Almost any room that can be warmed on chilly dys is suitable for the work, and a kecstte stove is often used. Tie whole time required for raising a crop is from loar to five weeks. Kggs bhould be procured as early as possible in the spring, as they usually hatch in May. Last spring was very backward, and I sent out eggs until tbe 1st of June, but this can seldom be done. Your little friend, Genevieve Aylmer Farhell. Arlington Heights, HI. Hog Pasture and Fences. Kausas City Live Stock Record. If we sow clover on ground previously manured, in two months we can have a hog pasture that will require but one ear of corn a day, provided we allow one-quarter of an acie or more to the hog, and then we will need a good hog fence, which, after considerable experience in various kinds, we make as follows: Cut the posts seven feet long, add when rotted off thev will do to use again, and it proves true economy. Set them seven feet apart, nailing on a hard pine board at the bottom close to the ground. Then use five strands of gildden ho0a wire, placing the lower strands about two or three inches apart, the top one increasing to six inches apart, and we have a fence that will bold a suckling pig as well as the wildest boar. We feed one ear of corn a day, because the proper food for a hog is grass and grain combined. Tb-'s principle is not denied by any intelligent hog raiser, and the nearer we come to it in feeding tne surer will be our tucce&s. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Add Ilaisins. A pound of raisins is an excellent addition to a bread pudding. The breed should be first toatted and theu finely grated. Delicious Milk Lemonade. Four a pint of boiling water on six ounces of loaf sugar, add quarter of a pint of lemon juice, and half the quantity of good sherry wine. Then add three quarters of a pint of cold milk, and strain the whole to make It nice and clear. For New Beginners. Hens' eggs hatch in from 1! to 21 days; turkeys', from '2H to 2U days; ducks', 28 days; guinea fowls', from 25 to 27 days; peafowls', 'JH to 30 days; ge e, 30 to 32 days. Fresh eggs will hatch one or two days sooner than those two or thrrs weeks old. Delicious Sponge Cake. The yolk of nm eggs and whites of eighteen; one pound of sugar; one pound of sifted Itour. Beat yolks of eggs till very stiff; add the su.-rar, theu add whites of eggs well beaten. Sift in tuHour very lightly, oniy stirring as little as possible; add the juice of half a lemon and a little of the grated rine. Bake in two tins, and when served break into pieces iusttalof cutting. Ice or not, as preferred. Cccoanut Pie. One pi. und grated c c anut, cne-half pound utter, one-halt poua i powdered sugar, one glass of brandy, tw i t8sioonfuls lemon juice, four egsrs (white and yelks separated), two teaspoon fuls vinilla. Hub the butter and sugar together; beat light with the brandy and lemon juice; stir in tbe beaten yolks, lastly tbe cocoanut and the whites alternately. iare in open shells. Kat cold with p iwdered sugar sifted over itChocolate Pudding. One quart of milk; fourteen even tabiespoonf uls of grated bread crumbs; twelve tablespoorf j's grated chocolate; six eggs; one tablesp. juful vinilta; sugar to make very sweet. $-pirate the yolks and whites of four eggs: beat up the four yolks and two whoie eggs together very light, with the sukar. Put the milk on the range, and when it comes to a perfect boil pour it over the bread and chocolate; add the beaten eggs and sugur and vanilla; taste it to be sure it is sweet enough; pour into a battered dish; bake one hour in a moderate oven. When cold, and just before it is served, have tbe four wkites beaten with a little powdered sugar, and flavor with vcnilla, and use as a meringue. Pickled Salmon. Take four pounds of sal won and cut it in pieces of about an inch and a half thick, across tbe bone. Lay it in a pan with enough water to cover it; add a pint of vinegar, a tabiespoonf ul of salt, ten hay leaver, six blades of mace and a tea spoonful of whole pepper. When the sal mon is boiled take it out and drain it, put ting it in a cloth. Keboil the liquor, skim micg it, adding a tablespoonful more of vinegar. Boil lor fifteen minutes. Whea the fish is cold put the fish is a jar without breaking it, ouron tbe liquor and cover the jar closely. When California salmon are in tbe market pickled salmon is a very inex pensive dish, bturgeo may be pickled toe same way, and is just as good. Cutlets a la Milanaise. Dip some nice veal cutlets in melted butter and then dip them in a mixture composed of Parmesan cheese, dry bread crumbs, and pepper aad salt to taste. Put aside for awhile; then dip them in a beaten egg and again in the cheese and crumb mixture. Put them aside for two hours then fry. Boil (twenty minutes) a large handful of macaroni spaghetlr is the best take it op in colander, drain, and mix

it with a large piece cf fresh butter and a sauce composed of tomato slowly stewed up fcr three or four hours, strained and stirred up with the yolk of an egg. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the macaroni, lay it in the center of a platter and arrange the catlets around it. Hydrophobia. People of Lfa, Kasia, have a cure for hydrophobia of their own. They give to bitten men and beasts a powder read from a field plant known on the Volga as drok. of which Gemata Tinctoria is the scientific name. This powder is taken on an empty stomach for three days, and one dose en the ninth day. Salt and salty food spoil the eflect of the drug. A weli-known family of land owners used the medicine for over forty years, and saved over 400 men, women and children affected with hydrophobia. How to Wash Stockings. A correspondent

is experiencing trouble about the color in her summer stockings; the dark and black brown ones giving tbe most annoyance. The best way known is to make a very weak suds; it should haraly be warm at all, cer tainly not be heated above the decree known to housekeepers as "lukewarm ;" a litt'e salt added to this helps to "set" the color; wash gently with the hands; a lady's stockings of fine quality should not be so dusty or soiled as to need more than this gentle rubbing or rinsing with the hands. Kinse thoroughly in cold water, with a little salt in just enough salt to give the water a flavor of salt. Turn the stockings wrong side out, and dry tnem in tne shade. Many a handsome pair of stockings and socks is ruined by the sun, after a most careful washing I'AKM XOTES. At the MicVgan Agricultural College it is proposed to set a huckelberry plantation next siring. How do you strain your milk? If vou use a cloth, how often do you wash it?

Here is a good chance to make capital out of the surplr i energy of the old ram. To have a fine crop of larce, rich currants. enrich tbe ground, make it rich and mellow, and thin out the brush. Cat away the old wood after fruiting and leave the vigorous young shoots. Larly gardening lengthens tbe growing season, and permits, at times, of rwo crops on the tame land, os turnips may follow peas, and time is thereoy gamed by putting in lale crops. The following general rult ' will apply in the selection of calves to be raised for dairy cows: The head should not be overlarge, the necfe rather thin than thick, and the skm posse bürg a soft feel tbat can only be judged by an expert. Look to the escutcheon and milk veins. These are good indications of cba. acter s the pedigree. The value of the hen mat ure from a siu.le bird for one year has br en quoted at fifteen cents. This is, we think, a very lov estimate, and yet, even at this rate, the tottl value of the manura from o'l the poultry in country in 1SS0 would be $19,000.000. "The total value of the fertilizers manufactured during the same year was $2.'5,J."0,7Uö. Large hogs are neither fashionable nor profitable, liut few hogs are now bred tna. when fully developed, weigh over T'.iO pounds. The small boned early developed nog that weighs from 275 to 300 unds at 12 months meets tte popular demand as the most profitable, while those large hogs most always develop later, and have to be kepttoj lone. Use plenty of whitewash in the poultryhouse now. As the warm weather approaches the lice will appear unless precautions are taken to avoid the vermin. Clan up the poultry-house and ya'ds, dust insect powder into all the cracks and crevices, put tobacco refuse in the nests, coaloil the roosts and whitewash the walls of the poultry house, first adding a tiblebi oonful of carbolic acid to each bucket of whitewash used. Geese can be fattened cheaply, as they will eagerly consume chopped turnips or any other kind of cheap material at this season; but to get them very fat they should have corn also. A goose should not be too fat, as such is objectionable, but they should be kept fat enough to present an excellent market appearance. The young geese that have not completed their growth, however, can not be fed too liberally, as they will not become extreme!y fat until matured. It may not be necessary and yet not amiss to urge larmers to sow or drill a good supplv of sweet corn to cut up and feed to milch cows during the month of August, when pastures dry up or partially so. There can be no doubt that such corn is a wholesome and profitable supplement to pastures at that time, or H there is, a single experiment will dispel the doubt. Oats may not oe a profit able crop to raise, and in some sections of country they are not, but a few acres to be fed by cuttirg the bundlos in a cutting box and feeding with bran in connection with other winter feed will pay weil. The wbole art and mystery of planting consisls in placing the tree as nearly as possible in tbe same condition wi'h respect to contact with the earth as that in which it stood before removal. To this end a wide hole should be dug, allowing the rests to be spread out in their natural position; and the richest soil, made fine wi'h the back of the spade, Is to be shoveled in carefully and worked well among the roots with the hands. In successful planting water is one of the most important elements. Given plentifully, when almost done planting, it settles the earth around the roots, shuts up every crevice, and with some gentle pressure of tbe foot, after thowing ou more earth, makes ihe ground solid. There are farmers who always wait till the Aery last moment before Ordering their farm implements. This is very poor policy, buch men always find fault. They will not take the fact into consideration that it takes t me to do business. They wait until the time for using the implement and then order it sent "immediately." ror any dslay in fi eight or expressaee, and such delays are fiequently unavoidable, they blame the man ufacturer. A little planning and "bend work" would prevent all the trouble. will venture to say that there are farmers at this time who have not secured their tools for the .season. Order them at once, aever be caught behind hand again. The sails best adapted to the potato are sandy and gravelly loams. Clay soils, if tbe season be wet, produce very poor potatoes and they will be much more liable to rot than those grown on sandy land. An old pasture turned over, or any toi ground, is specially fitted for the growth of the pota'o. A little well-rotted compost, harrowed ia thoroughly upon such a sod, to give the plants a good 8tart. will usually give a fair crop upon comparatively poor soil. Ihe rota toes erown upon sod are usually smoother, less liable to rot, and of superior quality. The application ot fresh stable manure is not desirable on potato land, as it irequenuy resuiis in a uimii-isueu yieiu, and greatly increases the liability to rot. If we allow one egg every two days for each adult, and one egg every four days for each child, we would have with the popula tion of 1880, as a basis, a home consumption of OoO.OOO.iOO dozens, to that our home product must be increased nearly f0 per cent. in order to supply our wants. YY e must in crease the number of the present stock of poulty, or increase the productiveness of the present stock by improved blood or bet'er tare. The consumption of eeg rapidly Increases from year to year. The carelessness and teglect of many owners of farm poultry pretnt a corresponding increase-of stock. The epg can never be adulterated. There is as wide adistirction growing between fresh and 6tale eggs as there is between "giltedped" and common butter. What department of the farm offers better returns for care and enterprise? Professor Long, of England, thinks aheep might b rendered more profitable if their milk was utilized lor making nne cheese. Id a communication to the Mark Lace Ex

press Le writes; "The bare idea of keeping theej for milking purpo-3 would probihly shot k the vast majority of those who are engaged in agriculture ia'thi country, and yet, ftrangeto say, tbe ewe is kept in enormous ii unit. ers in onedisirict in France, where an important industry in the manufacture of a sheep's milk cheese, well known to Kaglis'imen under the came of Rovaefort, is carried on, and which employs a considerable au ount of people as well as capital. There can not and there should not be anything to

amiieatin alact like this, however ludicrous and unpracticable it may seem to us in England, who are accustomed to large fiocks of aheep, which are rean-d and fed for the production of mutton. I do not intend to be sufficiently bald iu this instance to nnre. or even to suggest, that milking ewes should be kept npon English farms; but we can not get oyer the fact that the system is boih pracm aue an promaiie, ana tnat those ot us who are willing to pay a h'gh price for the rcherrhe cheese referred to contribute largely to the maintenance of the farmer who produce the milking ewes. Tnose who have traveled m cert lin parts of Holland, more particularly in the province where the Edam or round Dutch cheese is made, will have observed how common is the custom of keep ing ewes ior tne mil tuey yield, and if it is profitable to the thrifty laborer and small farmer of France and the Netherlands to do this, it would be difficult to find a reason why it should not be equally profitable to the individual occupying a similar position in this country. AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY. FrocreKS of the AmuMiucut Uaring the Past Five Years. (Rochester l'ost- Ex press. "I scarcely dare take a nap during the day nowadays," said a gentleman who had a horror of photographs. "When I wake up I always see a camera pointed at me. My sons are simply crazy on the subject of amateur photography. Everything that can run or swim, rly or crawl, they photograph. They have a picture of me taken when I fell asleep in my arm chair." "It is true," said one of the most successful amateur photographers this morning, 'that we are peifnt cants on tbe subject of photography. We talk of little else and we think of little else. It has become a perfect craze." These two expressions show the progress Ihat amateur photography has made during the last few years. The amusement dates back a little over five years when a "pocket camera" was put on the market. It was a mofrt successful venture for the manufacturer. SSince that time photography has daily gained in favor as a popular diversion. For $15 or $i a person can purchase apparatus for taking successfully all kinds of pictures, and ierhaps the majority of tourists are now supplied with a camera. Most of the amateurs find they wish to increase their apparatus from time to time and the amusement is for this reason often expensive. Koehester has a number of the most succtsful amateur photographers iu the country, and several of them "have taken prizes for the excellence of their work. During the last year the number of ladies who have yielded to the fascination of the amusement has greatly increased. They have been even more successful as a rule than the gentlemen. Tbey have more taste and their patience enables them to overcome diihculties which vex the gentlemen when they trv for the first time to solve the mysteries of the art. "Amateur photographers," said one of the number this morning, "are forcing professionals to do better work. There are now galleries in this town, however, which exhibit work that most amateurs would be ashamed of. If they wish to maintain their iKsition as professionals they must make better pictures. They admit this themselves. You know, after an amataer has been at work with his camara for a little time he begins to aspire to portrait work, and some have been quite successful. One reason which accounts for a great deal of ihe poor work of professionals is the low prices of the last few years. Perhaps as good pictures have baen turned out as could n tpected for the money. I don't think the amateurs will affect the business of the professionals to any extent, perhaps a little. Amateurs study a great deal, and they do conscientious work. They learn a great deal, and they tell to others what they discover, so that every one interested in photography is benefited. They do a gieat deal of good in this way. Professionals, you know, look up their secret ior tucir pecuniary benefit. Many of the professionals recognize the importance of t'ie work of the beginners and are ready to advise them and aid them at any time." The amateur photographers of the city have formed a section of the Academy of Science, which meets the first and third Mondays of each month. The meetings promise to be of the greatest interest and benefit to the members. Tbe ante-room adjoining the general assembly room of the academy will probably be fitted up suitably for purposes of experiment and demonstration. Manufacturers are interested in the organization, and have offered to exhibit new appliances. GENERAL, HANCOCK'S WIDOW. Still Prostrated by Her Great Affliction No Plans for the Future. New York Herald. Mrs. Hancock has been suffering from nervous prostration and debility since the death of her husband. With the exception of Good Friday, when she attended churcb, she has not left the house since the funeral, she has not yet made plans for her future residence. Her present home is with her nephew, Lieutenant ürirfin, on Governor's Island. Tbat otticer, who is attached to the Engineers' Corps, is expecting orders to reEort for duty at some other post Should he e assigned to Baltimore or to Washington it is probable that General Hancock's widow would continue to make his household her home. In the event of his being ordered South or to tbe frontier it is not thought probable that she would accompany her nephew, as fche prefers the Northern climate. An invaluable collection of papers bearing on the official records of the war is contained in a chest at headquarters. The biographer of General Hancock would find it a mine of wealtb in point of accurate historical information were it possible to obtain access thereto. It is paid tbat an authentic life of General Hancock will be published, and that the proceeds will be devoted to a fund for the benefit of his widow.
