HINTS FOR FARM A!D HOME.

HOW TO CULTIVATE WATERMELONS. Sheep With Other Stock Corn Cultivation Gire Chicken Itoom Gras CultureStable Management lVreedin; Chick na Farm and House Mints. The Southern Cultivator gives the following advice on the management of watermelons : A sandy, loamy soil snits melons best. It should be well supplied with humus. If the land is level and flat, liable to be water sogged, it should be thrown into beds twelve feet deep, with deep water farrows, having previously . been well broken, rolled and harrowed. If good stable or yard manure is available, make a compost of twenty-five pounds of manure, one pound of cotton-sced meal, one pound of acid phosphate and a half a pound of kainit, and work it well into the 6oil of each hill. Great care should le taken at this point lest the cotton-seed meal destroy the germination of the seed. The hilU should bo ten feet apart in the drilL After preparation and bedding kerp the land perfectly clean by running a harrow over it as often as may be necessary. Continue the harrowing until th eeed is ready to come up. As soon as the plants appear begin working with wide scrapes, going over at short intervals so as to keep the soil clean and mellow. Until the vines are one or two feet long, they may be moved to one side to allow the plow to run near the hill ; but after that the ines should not be disturbed, the plows running only in the middles beyond the ends of the vines.! Sheep With Other Stock. Professional sheep-growers seldom turn sheep into a yard with other stock, says a farm paper. They have learned by experience that it does not pay. In the case of high-priced blooded 6tock it has Fometimes been pretty dear experience. The farmer who keeps but few sheep and has never made a special study of the business cannot do better than to follow the example of those who have; vet we notice that it is the almost invariable custom with such farmers to allow their sheep to take their chances among the mixed stock of the common yard. In most cases they are obliged to got their living from the straw-stack, or rick of hay around which various horned cattle hold sway. Many of the more timid of the flock will go hungry before they jeopardize themselves by crowding in to get a small share of the common feed. Unless a sheep is killed outright, the owner is seldom aware of an injury when it occurs. It is a matter of great wonder to him, however, that be has no more lambs from so many ewes. Looking at the matter understanding it is a great wonder that he has any, or that half hi ewes remain alive. It costs but little to have an extra yard for the sheep opening off their own fen or house. A few feet ol lumber and a lew hours' time can well be expended here. The man who makes proper provision for his sheep in this way is not the man who says: "There ain't no profit in sheep, anyway. I just keep a lew to eat up the odds and ends," as a farmer remarked to the writer only a few days ago. Cnlture of Grasses. Prairie Farmer.r A finely pulverized soil is indispensable to a quick and good crass sod. A cloddv soil is the graveyard of the young microscopic roots oi our grasses. Grass seed produces the smallest plants with the tiniest root fibres of any field crops grown in this country, and when sown on cloddy, hard soil it means the destruction or Ftinted life of most of the young plants. Tine division of the soil is multiplication of the soil. The more finely pulverized the soil, the more moisture it will hold. A fine soil wili draw more water and from deeper areas than a coarse one, and supply it to the needy young seeds and their tiny roots, and with it necessary plant food. The application of the above truths cannot be too strongly impressed on those who desire to grow the best grass crops. Theoretically, each crop should be manured, bnt practically this is difficult to do, and I have followed the system of manuring well the tillage crops in the rotation that preceded the grass. I wonld prefer manuring when grass is seeded or just before, if equally convenient. In the modem acceptance of the term, chemical manures cover materials of which we cannot afford to use in Missouri to grow grass. Ashes are an exceedingly effective grass -fertilizer, especially for clover. When bonemeal is used with ashes a handsome ami sure crop follows, and usually at a profit w hen hay is $7 to 8 a ton. Cultivating a Crop of Corn. Philadelphia Record. To properly cultivate a crop of corn means to thoroughly clean the land of weeds and grass.- Corn should, therefore, be grown in rotation with other crops, and the labor bestowed in its cultivation should not be charged wholly to the corn crop, but also to the succeeding crop. There are several modes of laying ofF and cultivating corn, but in this section the ''cheek-row" system is in general use, as it permits of cultivating the crop in two directions. The most important matter is pool seed, and it should be of a variety that has been tried in the neighborhood where the crop is to be grown, as some varieties do best in certain sections only. "Next in importance is plenty of manure, as the crop is a gross feeder and grows rapidly. The young plants should receive more cultivation when just beginning to make headway than later cn, in order to gain a good send-ofT before the dry season (should it happen) shall come on. Some farmers do not work the corn thoroughly, allowing grass and weeds to make progress before going into the field with the cultivator. A corn crop should always Im? ke pt clean. The grass and weeds should be killed as soon as high enough to be seen. Give Chicken Room. Rural New Yorker. Many people shut up fowls in a small, close yard as soon as planting is done, and Some do so earlier, liefore doing so it is worth while to consider profit and loss in this matter. Unless they have a good large; yard, fowls confined lay but little in summer. The food consumed just keeps the birds alive ; but they pass ä monotonous existence. There is no doubt that fowls will do some mischief in the garden, and that they likewise dosoruegood in destroying insects. At any rate it is best to see whether the mischief is more than the profit from the eggs which would be laid jf the birds had full liberty. Jf fowls are confined it is best to have them in a yard large enough to have the grass grow in it. When yards are trodden or scratched up so as not to allow the grass to grow, they will not keep hens healthy and in a laying condition. Wanted to Rree1 Chicken. ISf Orleans Plcajoine.J The ignorance of young housekeepers in commonplace matters has furnished endless matter to the ingenious newspaper paragrapher. Quite recently a youthful matron of this town became proprietress of a charming suburban country place. .ger to partake of the joys which appertain to rural life, ehe set her heart on keeping chickens. Accordingly she wrote to a farsier of her acquaintance, asking

him to send her a few fowls to begin with. "1 do not want very many," she said; "I think that half a dozen hens and as many roosters will Eervc my purpose admira"My dear madam," replied the farmer by letter, "you are evidently unaware of the fact that all the chickens in these parts are mormons. While disapproving highly of polygamous practices, I am of the opinion that you will find it more profitable to put up writh them yourself rather than attempt a reform in the domestic relations of the birds. Therefore, I send 3-011 herewith, by express, eleven pullets and one cock of the white leghorn family, with which you can make a start." The lady's friends have been making all sorts of fun of her ever since she was imprudent enough to tell the story. nints on Stable Management. Pure airfls as essential to the blood as sound food is to the sustenance of the body. Consumed air is vitiated air; the volume of oxygen is reduced; carbonic acid is in excess. The stable is full of organic impurities, given olf by the skin and the lungs. Ventillation is found in all well-regulated stables, and draughts are unknown, or ought to be. Good grooming is demanded under stable management, and in fast work. The brush, as a rule, should follow the direction of the hair, except when dirt and sweat are caked on to the coat ; then you require to go against the lie of the coat the set of the coat. Good grooming shortens the coat, gives a gloss and develops the physical force. Horses fed largely on other foods demand less hay, but hay is useful in distending the stomach and thus assisting digestion. From six to fourteen pounds daily, the average use is ten pounds in many stables. To maintain hunting and racing condition old hay is essential. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Asparagus Omelet Boil two pounds of tender, fresh-cut asparagus in a very little salt; better still, steam" the asparagus till tender. Chop it very fine; mix it with the velks of five and whites of three wellbeaten eggs; add two lablcspoonsful of sweet cream; fry, and serve quite hot. Mutton chops and fish roe Iiroil the roes of two large pickled herrings; while hot add a quarter of a pound of scant butter, parsley, onion, cayenne and lemon juice or vinegar to taste. Kit her chop the onion and parsley very line, or remove after cooking; pour hot over the broiled chops. Stewed Eeets Boil them first the usual way; then scrape and slice them; put them into a stew-pan with a piece of butter rolled in Hour, some boiled onions and parsley chopped fine, and a little vinegar, salt and pepper. Set the pan ove r a hot fire and let the beets stew for a quarter of an hour. Stewed Water Cresses Lav the cresses in strong salt and water; pick and wash them well and stew in water for about ten rr.ir.utes; drain and chop them; return tuein to the stew-pan with a bit of butter, some pepper and salt; stew till tender. Just before serving put in a little vinegar; serve with fried sippets. Stewed cresses are very good with boiled chicken. Breakfast should not be a heavy meal, and moderation should be especially observed in regard to partaking of hot food. Liberal use of hot tea and cotleo is apt to produce discomfort throughout the day. Ice cold radishes, oatmeal, crackers and milk, a slice of cold lamb, cold asparagus and fresh fruit are suggestive of breakfast arrangements which are luxurious without being expensive. Hoot Beer A recipe for making genuine root beer: Take one ounce each of sassafras, allspice, yellow doc k and wintergreen, one-half ounce of wild cherry bark and coriander, one-half ounce hops, and three quarts molasses. Tour sufficient boiling water on the ingredients and let them stand twenty-four hours, filter the liquor and add one-half pint yeast, and it will be ready for use in twenty-four hours. Brown Gravy for Baked Meat. When a thick, brown graw is desired for baked meat or poultrv, after taking up the meat pour out of the pan all but about two tablespoonfuls of the drippings, saving this excess for future use; s't the pan over the fire, stir in a heaping taldespoonful of dry Hour, mixing it evenly with the brown drippings; when the flour is brown gradually stir in a pint of boiling water, and a palatable seasoning of salt and pepper; continue stirring until the gravy is free from lumps and has boiled two or three minutes, when it will be ready for use. When there are no brown drippings melt and brown a tablcspoonful of butter with the flour, and then make the gravj' after the above method. How to Cook beef The Beef well chosen the cook's work begins. First let her look to the tiro and make it clear, bricht and as hot as possible, whether the intention is to roast or bake the meat. While the fire is being made ready prepare the beef, not by washing, but bv scraping the surface with the back of a knife, and, if necessary, wiping it with a clean, wet cloth ; any undesirable portion that cannot be thus removed should be cut olf, washing would not remove it, and the application of water would deprive the flesh of its blood and nutritive juices. Most cuts of beef can be carved to the best advantage if the bones are taken out and the meat is securely fastened in convenient shape before it is cooked. No flesh w hatever need be wasted in removing the bone, if a sharp, small knife is employed, and the bone can be used in the soup kettle or baked in the pan with the beef. The meat can be secured best by tying; skewers hold it only imperfectly, and are not easily removed after cooking, while a string'can be cut readily. Use a thick, strong cord, draw it about the meat as tightly as possible, after having put it in the desired shape, and use enough cord to hold it firmly. It the beef is cooked very rare that is, if the flesh has a purplish tint the fibers will le so elastic that the meat will spring apart when the string is taken off, but if the beef is cooked until the flesh is pink and that is the degree usually liked the fibers will so far have lost their elasticity as to retain the shape when the cord is removed. After the oven is very hot in which the beef is to be baked, or the open fire clear and bright before which it is to be roasted, brown the entire surface as fast as possible; once the surface is cripp and brown the meat may be seasoned without risk of losing any of its natural gravy and basted with its own drippincs, or with any good fat, but not with wa' r. Water, either hot or cold, applied to the surface of meat would so far sollen it that its fluid portion would escape; this natural gravy once lost, no amount of basting could restore the juice and flavor oi the meat. There is no comparison between beef cooked in this way and that basted with an addition of water to the dripping. With a hot fire beef will cook to a delicious point, if fifteen minutes are allowed to the pound. Twenty-five to thirty minutes will cook it thoroughly; at the fifteen-minute limit it will be full of a rich, red gravy, abounding in flavor and nutriment; if cooked only until purple this gravy will not flow; and if the meat is well done the gravy has been partly absorbed by the tissues, and partly dissipated in the steam which escapes after a certain point of cooking ha3 been reached. Farm Kot eg, A Tihode Island farmer recently sold ninety-three Iambs for $1,000. Sickly plants may be made to prow by an occasional application of liquid manure. The surface of the ground around roc bushes should le kept loose, and if the weather should become dry au occasional

watering of the young plants would be otz advantage. It is claimed by some that the peach will thrive best when grafted on the plum, stock. Protect the young plants with a covering at night until the cool nights shall be over. Avoid condiments in feeding chicks. If any red pepper is given at all, it must be very little indeed. Beauty and ornament add to the value of a farm. A few trees around the house may sometimes be of more value than the ground. ' Hayseed swept from the barn floor is a pood thing to throw into chicken yards. The birds scratch it in and when it grows up it is good for the stock. An experienced breeder of swine says that often when hogs are sluggish and indifferent about eating nothing in the world ails them but the toothache. Over 10,000 boxes of strawberries have been grown on an acre of land, which shows what can be done with good varieties and excellent cultivation. Anybody can introduce new varieties of fruit by planting the seed, though the chances are that but one variety in a thousand will be worthy of retention The mechanical condition of tire soil has much to do with the growth of crops. Lumps, clods and cruets are drawbacks. The harrow and cultivator should be used whereever needed. The queen bee usually lays from February to October, but early in the spring

she lays sparingly. hen flowers bloom, and the bees are gathering honey and poilon, she lays more rapidly. It is better and healthier to let hens that want to set do so if one has the convenience. It is most natural for them to take a rest from laying. The eggs from such hens are more likely to be fertile. When many young chicks are raised on a farm it is best to set out the coops in small colonies rather than have them all together. The birds thrive bettor if the colonies are at least 100 feet apart. Coops with chicks should be stood on a little knoll. During hard rains the water Avill sometimes stand in the coops and drown the birds if placed on or below the level of the surrounding ground. A prominent packing firm is authority for the statement that hogs fed for lean are worth ') cents, r.s against ( cents for those fed for fat. In Germany the demand is largely in favor of the lean hog. Ileus cooped out with chickens soon begin to lay again. Look out for their eggs, or vermin will do it for you. Some hens will lay in the spring when their chicks are only a month to six week3 old. Protect the birds. Put up suitable boxes for the w rens. Prevent the shooting of firearms in the orchards and keep as few cats as possible. It is a fact that the cats destroy more birds than all other causes put together. The castor oil bean plant makes an excellent and beautiful border along the walks, but it is a strong and vigorous grower and demands a large proportion of manure. This plant is said to be a protection against some kinds of insects. Kerosene oil will kill all kinds of insects when used on trees. A small quantity used in an emulsion mav be sprayed on apple trees, but it will kill the peach trees, even when used on them in small quantities. The Scientific American says that copal varnish applied to soles of shoes and ref)eated while drying until the pores shall mve been filled and the surface shall shine like polished mahogany will make the soles waterproof and last as long as the uppers. Manure is complete plant food because it contains all the elements required. Commercial fertilizers vary in composition, and the advantages in their use is that they enable the fanner to select special substances that may be lacking in the soil. As feed for young chicks, boiled rice and oatmeal are very good, but as they are sticky it is best to stir in dry ccrnmeal or some other dry meal to make it easier to eat. All soft food for chicks should be so dry as to crumble when dropped. ol't, watery messes should be avoided. Feed chicks when young four times a day, and r.s soon as thev can run around well a feeding coop of laths on three sides, the fourth one being of boards, should be placed on each spot where there are several coops of chicks. The spaces between laths should be large enough to admit the chicks only. Turn the boarded side to the south to keep the sun oil the food, w hich should be placed inside so that the chicks can get it when they please. This should be cracked corn or wheat; the wheat is much the better, but only enough of all should be given, as they will eat up clean each time. J'nnil New Yvb r. THE WEEK'S NEWS.

BERLIN'S ROm-MARRIAGE. FREDERICK ATTENDS THE CEREMONY The NewlyOIarried C 01 nie OfT for a Ilon-ey-3Ioon Comment of the London Tress on the Conservative Defeat. Minor Forelui DIattors. Berlin, May 24. The aitperor rested better last night than he has on'any night since his arrival at CharlottenburgJ , lie slept without coughing for periods of tlree hours. He weut into the park at 10 o'clocl; this morning, aud attended both the civil nf.l religious weddings of Trince Henry and Priuress Irene of Hesse. The empress and her ; daughters and the crown prince and Princo Henry, second son of Frederick, met Princess Irene at the Charlottenburg station when si arrived yesterday, and received her with iiTectionate greetings. The route to the polac was decorated with flags, and was lined with retcrans and members of gymnastic and trade; societies and large crowds of people, who chtered enthusiastically. The emperor was asleo when the party arrived at the palace. He had expressed a great denrc to pee Princess Irene immediately upon her arrival, but Dr. Mackenzie, fearing that the excitement would spoil his night's rest, persuaded him to wait until morning. All the houses alonq; the route tD the palace were illuminated with candles, and busts of rrincess Irene were displayed in the widows. Thousands of torches were carried in the streets. Princess Irene was in white. The other ladies wore lishIresscs. The marriage ceremony was solemized in the chapel of Charlottenburg castle this morning. The bells at Charlottciiburg were rung at noon to announce that the oeremonv had eomI menced, and a salute of thirty-six guns was fired at 12:30 announcing that the bride and bridegroom had exclianued rinjs. Both Kmperor Frederick and the dowager Empress Augusta were present during the ceremony. Prince Henry and the crown prince were dressed in naval uniforms. Tiiousands of people were assembled outside the castle. 'hen the aged (Jen. Von Moltke arrived he was enthusiastically greeted by the multitude. The bride and bridegroom are- first cousins, and are grandchildren i (ueen Victoria of England, Princess Irene being the third daughter of the late Princess Alice, consort of Ciraud Duke Ludwig of Hesse. Prince Henry and his bride left the Charlottenburg depot by a special train at 3 o'clock for Erdmannsdorfi", where they will spend the honeymoon. They received a continuous ovation from the people along the route from the castle to the depot. Should lie Satisfied. Crawfordsville Review. Mrs. Helen M. Cougar, the president of the woman's suffrage association of Indiana, attacked The Skxtinel with her tongue, not a broomstick, in which she denominated that paper as "the organ of the democratic party and the liauor interest.?." Most persons would think that this womau had attained notorcty enough in former years to last her the remainder of her life and would not be desirous of adding to it by attacks on newspapers. The Fellow Who "Soaped" Iudiana. Evansvillc Courier. Vi". W. Dudlev of this state is reported to have said in Vashigton, the other day, that "Illinois is not honestly for Gresham." As if Dudley knew anything about honesty in politics. This is the same Dudley that the Courier exposed in 180, in a letter over his own signatvre, wherein he advised the sending of negroes to this city to be kept until after the election. He is the fellow who "soaped" Iudiana with $2 bills, lie is a political scamp. A Vitnl Question. Chicago Times. "We have sheriffs and courts and, if need be, militia. The state is powerful against all evildoers. Why, then, upon occasions of alarm should private mercenaries, with a Winchester atö a day, a 1 alstatlian army recruited by a detective agency, be set the task, under private supervision, of vindicating the law? Why should murders committed by these hired and irresponsible bravosc unavenged? Too Many Favorite Sons. I Buffalo Courier. The state of Indiana is fortunate or unfortunate in having two republican favorite sons. Their adherents have begun to "knife" each other and to make combinations with outside candidates. The political bituation in that state is quite interesting. Grand Opportunity for the Scratcher. Indianapolis News.

Money on call easy at l-a2per cent.; last loan, Vz, closed offered atlj. Prime mercantile paper 4(CC. Sterling exchange dull but steady at 4it3?X for 60-day bills and 4SS?4 for demand. The total sales of stoc ks to-day were 243,004 shares. The market was active and weak in the forenoon to-day, but recovered somewhat later, becoming quiet to dull. The general list was dull within a narrow range and oil the character displayed was given a few stocks, of which Heading, Missouri Pacific, St. Paul and Union Pacific were most prominent. The continued weakness in Missouri PaciGc is the main factor in keeping the market quiet. There was a fresh drive against the stock this morning, and the traders, finding no support in it, jumped on it and its price was broken 3 per cent. The movement extended to other stocks and Beading became weak, though its loss was small in comparison with Missouri Pacific. The other Gould properties were weak and feverish but never became prominent. London was a Feller this morning, which nlso encouraged the bears, and first sales were made on a heavy business at from i to per cent, below Saturday's final figures. Other fractional losses were sustained in the first hour, but the interest centered in Missouri Pacific ami Beading. The weakness disappeared after the first hour, however, and most of the losses in the general list were recovered and Union Pacific became the strong feature, moving tip materially on the renewal of the stories of favorable action by congress. The market then became very dull. In the last hour, however, Bock Island came to the front, declining about 3 per cent., the old story of a reduction in the rate of dividend being used airainst the stock. The most of the list responded with fractional losses and the market closed quiet and weak, generally at something under tfieopening figures. Everything is lower, and ' Missouri Pacific 1081270'; Bock Island, 2f's; ' Beading, 1; Kansas & Texas, Ft. Worth Denver and St. Paul preferred, 1 per cent each. Investors are now confining their attention to first class bonds, which are in continual demand, while the supply is very lirnitedj The transactions to-day were only 1, 170,000, and the business was very evenly distributed, the tone of the market being rather heavy for most of the day and prices M ere left irregularly changed. Government bonds were dud and steady. Slate bonds were dull aud without feature. COMMERCIAL The genernl tone of the market ii dull ami littlo spirit manifested in the trading.
