PLOWIXG IX THE SUMMER.

OTHER MATTERS FOR THE FARMERS. potash for Truit Orchards Blackteeth in Hogs Insect Remedies Hoasehold Hints Recipes Kotes for the farmer, Etc. Plowing the soil, says the Philadelphia Hecord, is usually Spring and tall work, but there is as great necessity for plowing in the summer as at any other time, while the advantages of eo doing are numerous. In recommending summer plowing reference is made only to fields from which crops have been taken. If there is any fertility at all in the soil nature makes an effort to cover it with some kind of growth, as if idleness should never be allowed. The seeds are always there, no matter how clean the cultivation given the regular crop which may have been Just harvested. All growth, however, whether of the crop or of weeds and grass, is at the expense of the food elements of the soil, but such kind of plant appropriates food in a manner peculiar to its species. Some send their roots down deep into the subsoil, converting the inert matter into plant growth, thus bringing it to the surface and depositing it in tho plant. One plant may prefer nitrogenous matter, another phosphoric acid, and another lime and potash. OthT plants reach out on or near the surface of the ground for food, and store it within themselves, all of which comes from the soil. Bat, in addition to the food in tho soil, all rains and enows bring do'w n ammonia and nitric acid (formed in the atmosphere), and carry these substances down to the roots, where they as.-i?t not only in preparing more food but are also appropriated by the plants. "With summer plowing the farmer not only returns to the soil the soluble material taken up by the plants but also those portions that were insoluble and rendered soluble by the roots, as well'as that brought down by the rains. The plowing also let3 the air, heat and moisture down into the eoil, the result being a reduction of other substances that are then made available for the next growth. If the summer plowing be omitted the weeds mature, lorin seeds and die on the land ; or, if moved down, they dry, but in drying, or decaying on the surface of the ground, much of the nitrogenous material escapes in tho gaseous lorni. If the land be plowed and the ground cultivated when each successive growth of weeds appears, and when the M eeds are young, the cultivator will cover them and keep the soil loose. As each growth, no matter how small, can be used as green manure, the land is benefitted every time the cultivator is used, but it will prove profitable to allow all weeds to grow as high as possible (provided they be not allowed to go to teed) and plow them under, and the growth of the regular crops the next season will prove the advantage of so doing. Insect Kennedies. The Vermont experiment station recommends the following remedies: 1. Kerosene Emulsion Two parts of kerosene and one part of milk are mixed and shaken or churned together until a port of butter is formed. This may be kept any length of time. Use one part of the butter in twelve quarts of water, or the mixture can be made in this way: Two gallons of kerosene, one half-pound vi soap and one gallon of water. Dissolve the soap in the water boiling hot, and while hot pour into the kerosene and churn for a short time. When used dilute with ten gallons of water to each gallon of the soap-and-kerosene mixture. The kerosine emulsion has a wide field of usefulness. It can be sprinkled on rose bushes for the slugs ; on currant bushes for the currant worm ; on cabbages early in the season, for the cabbage worm; on apple trees for the tent caterpillar, and probably also for the codling moth, cankerworm, etc. In general, this solution may be used on an)' plant for the destruction of any leaf-eating insect. 2. London Purple "Wherever apples are raised on a large scale for marketing this Will recommend itself. One pound of the powder is used with two barrels of water. It is entirely insoluble in water, but is so fine that it floats in the water with but very little stirring. It is applied by force pump with a spray nozzle, the stream being forced up above the tree so as to fall from above on to the blossoms. The spraying should be done after the leaves of the blossoms fall, while the apple still stands upright. The solution is highly poisonous, and the powder will remain on and in the frround for a long time. It will not be safe to use it in any orchard where hogs are allowed to run, and it is hardly safe to use on trees under which children are likely to play. It finds its most advantageous use in those orchards where the f round is kept plowed and cultivated, 'aris green can be used in the same way as the London purple, but is more than twice as expensive. 0. Saltpetre fc-olution One tablespoonful in a pail of water. A pint poured around each hill of cucumbers or squashes is very good for the plants and very bad ior the bugs, both striped and black, which burrow at night in the earth about the plants. Cut-worms are also 6aid to dislike earth treated with saltpetre. This is a remedy which certainly would be very useful to the plants, and if, as is Claimed, it destroys or keeps away insect marauders it will prove most valuable. The saltpeter solution is useful to any plant which is attacked by insects which at any time burrow in the ground. It docs not appear to be wholly certain, however, that it is as efficacious an insecticide as could be wished. The currant worm is said to be greatly inconvenienced if the bushes are well mulched with coal ashes. Probably if some wood ashes were mixed with the coal ashes, greater results would be obtained. It should be remembered that all applications intended to prevent the attacks of insects or to destroy insects already infecting plant , are very much more eliacious rhen used promptly. Delay is eminently dangerous, since not only do insects for the most part increase very rapidly, but when young and their skins thin, as in young larvae it almost always is, many remedies act directly through the skin, and accomplish very much more than later, when the insects are larger and Itronger. Potash for Fruit. Apple trees are constantly taking up potaen from the soil and storing a large portion of it in the wood, and it is for this reason, says the Germantown TtUyragh, that in old orchards there is sometimes a dearth in fruitage, because a scanty supply of this essential fertilizer available for use. Where trees have been standing for years drawing from the natural supply, if there is no application, it is not at all surprising that there should come a time when the available supply is exhausted: not only the potash, but all other mineral fIant food. This is undoubtedly one proific cause of failure and the decay of trees in old orchards. As a rule fanners are averse to cultivating orchards, and at the tame time seem to fail in the realization of the fact that during all the years that pass exhaustion is constantly ging on. For the supply o necessary food to trees there

OA d AonM PS 5j TTTTTTT is nothing better nor more natural than ahes, and unless supplied a cause of failure may reasonably be anticipated. Spreading broadcast brings them where they will be carried to the roots of the trees and become at once available. A dri'.saing in summer while fruit is forming will greatly aid its development, as it seems to have a specific etiect in the refreshing process. The Care of Orchards. Prairie Farmer. The orchards should not be neglected this month. Pruning tends to throw the strength of the tree into making fruit buds for next year's crop, and to improving the size of next year's fruit. Wounds made now heal readily and soundly. Young trees should bo carefully watched to prevent over-bearing, and it would be well if all trees which give a prospect of a larger crop could have two-thirds of the fruit plucked off this month, thus saving the strength of the tree, and producing a larger, fairer fruit, which will sell for the highest market rates. The nests of the tent caterpillars and their inmates should be distroyed as soon as seen. If canker worms or codling moths appear to be plenty, ßhower the tree with a solution of Paris green or London purple, mixing at the rate of a teaspoonful to a gallon of water, and applying freely by means of a force pump with a spray nozzle. The pumps for this purpose are so cheap now that every farmer should have one. They are convenient, not only for this use, but for many other purposes about the farm. Many other insect pests can be destroyed or driven awav by the showering process, even when onlv cold water is used. Better still, if it is desired, to mix poison, kerosene or other substance which is offensive to the insects, with the water. A Remedy for "Black Teeth" in Hogs. Mr. George C. Meade of Hampton, Va., says: "When pigs are young they are liable to have what are called 'black teeth.' They often droop around like a sick chicken, and unless immediate attention is given them they will die. SeDarate them from the pen. For those that are not doing well take a round stick and put it into their mouths; then take a pair of nippers and take out the black teeth. Put a little sulphur and soft soap in their milk for a few days, and bleed them a little when they are diseased. The writer has taken pigs from five to six months old and eo near gone thev were unable to 6tand upon their feet, lly going through the process they recovered in a very short time. Give your brood sows a long range, and keep them in a clean condition. While breeding be sure and give them a little warm food. As the young grow older you can add to their food." Household Hints. Fried Onions Slice and boil the onions ten minutes at a time in three waters; drain and fry in butter; season and serve hot. Jelly Roll Three esrps, one cupful of mgar, one cupful of dour, ODe teaspoonful of baking powder, two tablespoonful of water; bake on paper and roll while very hot. Deef Stew Put some stock in a skillet; when it heats add some sliced cold potatoes, one union chopped fine, a litde pepper ana salt; cook a few minutes and serve very hot. Sugar Cookies One-half cupful of butter, one cupful of sugar, two eeus, one teaspoonful of cream tartar, one-half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a teaspoonful of milk; flour to roll. Dressing for Salad Two raw eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, eight tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one-half tablespoonful of mustard; put in a bowl over boiling water and stir until it becomes like cream ; salt and pepper to taste. Sour-milk Biscuit. One quart of flour, two cnpfuls of sour milk, two level teaspoonfuls of soda, two large tablespoonfuls of lard, ilix with the hand as bread dough, only not so stiff. Roll out about an inch thick, cut and bake in a moderate oven. Blackberry Syrup. Two quarts of juice of blackberries, one pound of loaf sugar, half an ounce of nutmeg, half an ounce of cinnamon, half an ounce of cloves and one-quarter of an ounce of allspice. Boil all together for a short time, and when cold add one pint of proof brandy. Blackberry Cordial. Secure ripe berries and crush them; to each gallon of juice add one quart of boiling water; let it stand twenty-four hours, stirring it a few times; strain and add two pounds ot suar to each gallon of liquid; put in jugs and cork tight. It may be used in two months; i excellent for summer complaint and tan be taken by delicate invalids. Blackberry Syrup. Express the juice from the desired quantity of berries. For each pint of this juice take one pound of brown sugar, one pint of water, and boil to a thick syrup. When done mix the blackberry juice and syrup together aud boil for twenty minutes, stirring constantly. Take off the tire and add a wineglassful of brandy for each quart of syrup. When perfectly cold bottle and cork down tightly for use. i Farni Notes. riant flowers plant something for beauty. A Rhode Island farmer recently sold ninetythree lambs for $1,000. Plows in the fence-corners are a aig-n of "farm for sale" within ten years. A vegetable crop that is gathered ffreen draws but little fertility from th soil. The fruit-eating population of the whole United Slates is increasing far more rapidly than the fruit-raising population. Trumpet vine may be trained to a weeping shrub form by stopping first the stem at a proper height, and then the latterals. Bunches of double petunias are quite pretty and last well. They grow freely from seed and bloom when about three months old. There is no market anywhere for half-grown potatoes. Growers injure tho markets themselves, and neighbors by consigning such goods. Tn a rpcrnt srlrlrt-aa on ncricultura.1 tatintici ! Rev. II. Price Collier stated that in 1870 there i were 2,t'J,985 f.inns in the United States, and In lftH0 4,uSW7 farms, an increase ot a little over 50 per cent An entirely open exposure is best for geraniums, but roses are all the better if they are situated where they have a light shade during the middle of the day. They should not, however, be placed under trr es.

I quantity of flour mixed into the solution will render it more effective by giving it more adhesive power. Honey, as well as flour, beef, cheese, apples or grain, will bring the highest price and readiest saie when it is of the hrst quality and put tip in attractive Btyle. Poor honey, as well as poor butter, is a drug on every market. A cheap and convenient disinfectant may be prepared by mixing one bushel of finely sifted dirt and one pound of chloride of lime. If fine tobacco dust be added it will assist in preventing lice. The dirt so prepared may be dusted over the floors or any portion of the poultry house, and it will greatly assist in keeping off disease and vermin. The cost is but a trine. The old farms in Canada that command the highest price are said to be those on which sheep have been kept from the time they were first occupied. The pastures on them p.re comparatively free from bushes and weeds, while the soil is firm and productive of the best sort of grasses. A farm on which a large number of sheep have been kept for many years is very desirable for dairy purposes. Do not plant currant bushes along the fences where they cannot be easily cultivated. Put them out where free access can be had on both sides of the row. Keen the sarface of the ground where they grow mellow and clear of weeds. For the worms use white hellebore in the centre of the bushes soon alter blossoming time. The secret of success it to use it early, while the first brood is quite small. IN THE WORLD OF TRADE. New York, August 6. Money on call easy at 11J per cent. Prime mercantile paper 4JGJc. Sterling exchange dull but steady at $4.85 for sixty-day bills and $4.S7 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 198,024 shares including Delaware, Lackawana, Western, 33,0G0; Lake Shore, 13,430; Missouri Pacific, 5,870; Northwestern, 5,310; Northern Pacific preferred, 3,714 ; Oregan Trans-Continental, 4,310; Pacific Mail, 4,028; Reading, 40,700; St. Paul, 13,270; Union Pacific, 8.3G0; Western Union, 16.G35; Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, 3,000. The stock market was very dull during the forenoon to-day but became active later in the day, while a firm to 6trong tone marked the transactions throughout the entire session. This being a holiday in London there was a general expectation that the business here would be very limited and during the first two hours of business these expectations were realized though the 6trong tone manifested by the very limited dealings was somewhat of a surprise to the tho street. Commission people, however, later seemod better supplied with buying orders than usual for some time and fche scarcity of stocks on the street made the offerings unusually small which soon started an advance in the list which caused the early sellers to become purchasers later in the day. The improvement was specially noticeable in the coalers, Vanderbilts, Gould stocks and St Paul, with a few of the specialties. The unusual demand for anthracite in view of the expected advance in rates stimulated the coal Btocks and Lackawanna became the leader of the market with Reading close behind, but the impetus to the general list was the favorable crop reports with the 6harp demadd for M'heat for export. The Gould stocks were more prominent than usual of late and this gave rise to the belief in some quarters that Mr. Gould was a liberal purchaser aa well as the renewal of the old 6tory of a syndicate to purchase his holdings of Western Union, the latter stock being again very prominent in the dealings. The opening sales were made at only slight changes from Saturdays closing figures, but the list developed strength immediately and Western Union, St. Paul and Cotton oil took the lead . in the advance. The improvement however, was confined to fractional amounts only, while the market then reacted 6lightly and became dull. There was more antimation noticeable soon after 12 o'clock and Lackawanna then assumed the advance and followed by Delaware & Hudson and Missouri Pacific advanced 1J per cent. The activity died away toward delivery hour and the advance had less force, but the close while quiet, was strong at about the best figures reached. Railroad bonds were extremely dull and featureless to-day and though there was a firm tone to the dealings throughout the entire day the final change in quotations are generally confined to small fractionr and no feature whatever was shown at any time. The sales of all issues aggregated only $740.000 and this amount was very evenly divided among a small number of issues. A few bonds made important gainsf however, and Minneapolis fc St. Paul firsts rose 3 to 03. Government bonds were dull and steady. State bonds were dull and firm. COMMERCIAL.

The wheat market was unsettled to-day with higher prices early followed by a decline which, however, only sent prices a fraction below Saturday's figures. The crowd was bullish on the whole and fought the decline. Two or three things tended to increase the number of sellers. The primary receipts were liberal, over 700.000 bu. at 10 points, while export clearances were small, only 3-S.OO0 bu. wheat and bat 62,000 bu. wheat and flour from Atlantic ports. This was very discouraging after the reports of the liberal taking for export. Wheat continued to grow stronger toward the close, and at 1 p. ui. Sept. closed at 84jc, c under the best point of the day, and c over the close on Saturday. This was encouraging to the bulls, who feared that 'the market was going to smash early. There was a good volume ol trading in corn early, and prices not only opened fractionally higher, but there was slight advance in sympathy, with everything else on the floor. About 11 a. m. there was a break of nearly lc, caused by the estimate of 600 cars for to-morrow by the pounding in wheat.

ABSOLUTELY PURE. For qTück raising, tho Royal Baking Fowder Is superior to all other leavening agent3. It is absolutely pure and Trholcsome and of the highest leavening power. It Is always uniform in strength and quality and never fails to make light, sweet, most palatable and nutritive food. Eread, biscuit3, meffics, cake, etc., raised with Royal Baking Fowder may bo eaten hot without distressing results to tha most delicata digestive organs. It will keep in any climate without deterioration. Frof. n. A. Mott, U. S. Government Chemist, after examining officially the principal baking powders of the country, reported : The Royal Caking Towder Is absolutely rare, for I have so found it in many tests made both for that company and the United States Government. " Because of the facilities that company have for obtaining pencctiy pure creara of tartar, and for other reasons dependent upon the proper proportions of the same, and the method of it3 preparation, the Royal Baking Towder is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to tho public. "Dr. IIEXBT A. MOTT, Va. D.," U. S. Government Chemist.
