VARYING FARM METHODS.

NO UNIVERSAL RULES CAN BE MADE FOR FARMING. Each Mnn Mutt Judge for Himself and Ilia Own Land Late l'lanted Corn-Galled Shoulder The Future Supply of Hogs 1'rires of 1'arnt Lands in t lay and Swltierland Counties The Kuadside Nutmeg Melons How to Take Cam of Hen Manure Note and Suggestions 'What Women Should Know Kecipes. No cast-iron and universal rules can be laid down for farming. It ia this fact that leads eo many farmers to object to "book farminsr." Their number ia decreasing fait, but we still have many who delight in picking out something laid in an agricultural paper and showing lck of practicability, as judged by the conditions under Which the critic ia farming. Often -tome reader tries ' a new method, as described by lomo farm writer, and fails, vhao the fault lied not in method but in ;; ',udgment of the experimenter, who fail-s . vary the method according to chanaeQ conditions'. One ü tho most noted agricultural writers, ir.d best and most successful farmer 11, seems to have found it neceesan ot'ten to say that this or that method is beat "on my farm." Otherwise some one di Jerently situated and without judgment to vary methods as needed, would always be ready to tike exceptions and undertake to prove that the writer is clear away from the truth. An example of this came undor the observation of the writer sonid years ago. Mr. Terry, on his rich, weli drained land, with nearly perfect method of cultivation, had said that seed potatoes cut to on eve gave him pood results. ne of his readers cut his.-eed potatoes to one eye. They had been grown south of the "potato belt," and were not large, but were full of eyes, and the eeed pieces were very small. He then proceeded ia his Usual manner, without putting much labor on the ground to get a tine and loone seed bed, and the distance between the kills was made the same as was the custom when planting seed having three or four eyes. The result can be imagined, and yet the man lost faith in "cutting to one eye." Another illustration of the need of varvine methods is oilered by a wide-awake farmer, Iiis river bottom farm is infested with a wild vine that ordinary cultivation will not kill. Whenever a held is broken f'.r wheat it has been his custom to follow the plow with the roller and disc harrow, fining the ground eo no moisture could escape. A little experiment has proven that a summer fallowing during a drought iri-1 do much toward fcxtermiualinc this pest if the round is left loose and. consequently, free of mciature. The long white roots can stand almost any hardship, but the hot air and sua is too mach for them when the moisture from beneath, is cut olT Dy the fresh plowing. Instead of pulverizing at once he thinks be should have varied the rule as laid down by wheat growers, and riven tho tround two or three weeks of a hot-air bath, trusting to petting a rain in time to make a good Eeed bed. There is eume risk in this plan, but one can atTord to run some risk to kill olf this pet. It is, of course, true that this method will not totally exterminate it, as tome roots are too deep in the ground for the plow, but a little experience has proven that this ia by far the meat effective plan ever known. Hoks running in fallow land will eat the roots, but this is not always practicable. Other illustrations might be given, but these seem to illustrate the truth, that after we have rt-al and studied the methods of others, we must not adopt them outright, bnt rather alapt them. Modify them to euit our conditions. i thers ways may be bet unit r their conditions, an 1 nine times out of ten we can profit much by studying them, but success comes only to those who choose wisely for their own particular soils and latitude. With rea lin and study rood judgment must be combined. Latt'.I'lantod Corn. A freshly turned sod makes the best seed bed for corn, and thoee farmers who failed to get their grass fields broken for corn until the last of May have a chance of growinz a big corn croo yet, provided time has been taken to pulverize the soil well. The growth of grass and weeds has been big. and when turned under the decomposition generates heat and furnishes a body of most available p!ant food. Corn grows Tery fast under such condition . Early planted corn usually grows the best crops because it becomes well rooted before summer drouths, and when Heids ara broken eariy the planting should be done sarlv. Hut if the grass has been permitad to grow until the last week of Mar ind is then plowed under for corn, some ihorouzh work usually insures a crop. The eurface of the freh earth should be 5ne!y pulveri.ed, and fr this work an icmeordisc harrow after a roller is god. After planting, tue cultivation should be shallow. If the rotting grass is only five or six inches under the surface the plant root will find it at once, and none of these roots should be broken by the cu.tivator. Let the corn have all its littie feeders to assist it in ita rapid growth. Frequent surface tillage w.ll retain the moisture, and the rms roots will prevent any packing of the earth. Corn so treated will withstand a quite severe summer drouth, ind extraordinarily large crops have been grown even when the planting was delaved until June. It is the thorough pulverization of the earth and the store of available food ia the rotting grata ami roots that help to make the cLauees of late planted corn even with those ot the tarly planted corn. Don't prone the roots. Oilled Shoulder. Spring work is apt to gai. the ihoulders of work horses unleea care ia used. The perfect adjustment of draft to a horse's shoulders is not always an easy thing to secure. The first thine needed ia a good collar. Cheap collars are usually dear in the end. The collar should t snugly, and should not be worn by any other horse. The harness should fit the collar. Oftentimes the hooks are too low. I lav them raised by m blacksmith. The dice barrow, roller or mower often brings weight on the top of the necks of the team, thus drawinsr the collar and harness down and lowering the draft. This is ruinous. Zinc pad for top of tho neck will help to prevent tnis. At night wash oat ell the sweat with cold water. Then Lath with salt water. If there is any bruisexl place use salt and vinegar. When horses are restin while at work examine the collar often, and iqo that all ia right. If there are any signs of bruising change the draft, and use small hand pad juit under or oyer the bruised place for a day. Be merciful to the dumb animals that serve us so faithfully. I uture Supply of Hog. Mr. C. Wood Dsvn. the Kansas statistician, is always so interesting writer end full of rosy predictions. Concerning hogs he says: A given number of swine imply a given nam--of aores of coro, and the relation betwssa

applies of pork and sores of corn is so direct thst in twenty-three years the number of hogs for eaon 100 aeres of sorn is the United States Las varied only from sixty-live to seventy-six; henoe we can apprexitnate the number if we know the corn acreage, as the number is seen to have vibrated bat fire and a halt either wsy. and there ean be no increase no material increase without an increase of the corn area, which now seems improbable. On the other haod, while the number of aersh of corn an! tho number of swiue seem unlikely to increase, population will continue to augment by an ever-increasing yearly total, and the demand increasing without a proportionate increase in the supply, it seems reasonable to expect a material advance in the plaoe, not necessarily from the high prices now obtaining, but from suoa as obtained io recent years. If in the last seven years, when for a part of the time some considerable additions were being made to the corn are, the increase of population bas been such as to reduce the per capita quota of land nnJer corn three-tenths ot an acre, and the power to produce and supply wine by 23 per cent, and the price of pork has advanced as we have seen, what is likely to be the result at the end of another seven years wherein no addition can Is mads to the area ander corn, except at the expense of the wbeat and cotton tields, and during which time the pig-eaters are likely to inoreaie by 10,00,000 f Prices of Kann Land. Our inquiry in regard to the relative prices of farm land in this state we regard as important to all farmers. Our readers would like to know the trend of values in every county of the state, and they can learn this only through free response to our inquiry. Are farm lands in your cuunty advancing or still declining? What are the causes? A few have answered. Let os hear from every county in the state. We print two responses, as follow : CLAY COrSTV. TO THE AOKICTLT'.IIAL LniTOR Sir: I see that in The ."-kntinei. of 17th inst. you request the subscribers of Iiie Sentinel to report to you in regard to price of farm lands as to whether tbere has been a decline or an advance in price of same. Simple as this question seems to be it is almost impartible to answer accurately a so touch depends upon the condition in whioh places have been kept. Hut looking over the neighborhood and making as close an average as potsible I think that there has been a decline or fully 50 per cent, during tue last twenty e:ght years in Clay county and about 15 per cent, in the last fifteen years. As a matter of course when extensive improvements have been made and the land has been kept in good condition the decline in price is not so much. Cciaen Ukadley. SWITZERLAND COfSTY. TO THE ACRUTI-TIIUL EhlTOK Sri In this country the price of laud has declined since the year 170 fully 50 per cent. Cause In time of the late wir and for some time afterward we paid higb. prices for what we bought on account of combines and trusts and Lsi to cell for low prices. Also had to pay hich taxes. Another cause is that so many of our farmers are going west and to the gas belt of this state. The population is also decreasing. I do not think the price of laud bas decreased in the last four or tire years. S. J. Scarcy. The ItoadnidH. The sides of the public road through the farm are usually too much neglected. The pasier-by is apt to judge the owner of the farm by tho appearance of the fences and the roadsides. If the fence corners be foul with weeds and bushes and the fence dilapidated, the conclusion is natural that there is lack of tliritt. There is much in appearances after all. A farm ia worth more upon the market when it presents an attractive front to those who travel the highway. Some thrifty termors who grow goi crops and mansire their business we I do themselves an injustice by ntg.ect in this respect. The sides of the highway should be well seeded to gra-s when practicable, mid then thevcan be kept clean with u mower. Tho undergrowth a'ong the line of th fence should be grubbed out, and then a little work every noath or two will keep the roadsides neat. All this goes with nat farming, and it pays in dollars and cents. It also pays in reputation and pleasure. Nutiii- Melon. The muskmelon is easily cultivated ail over the United Statc-a, ays an exchange, except in the most northern tortious. Tor most sections seeds should be planted early :n May. Mich, light, somewhat ehndy soil should he selected. This should be wed manured, thoroughly dug or prepared by dep plowing and harrowing Hills then markt-a out six feet apart each way. Tha-e hilis to be made by digging a foot deep and two feet across, aud tilled half full of good, well-rotted manure, upon the latter throw three or four inches of foil, then mix .-oil an 1 manure well together. More well-pulverized soil is thrown on top to complete the hill, making it three inches higher than the surfaco. Upon this plant eight or ten grains of Nidd, covering about half an incfi deep. When the plants develop two rough leaves, thin them down to two or threa plants to each hill. Draw the earth nicely around the base of th plants with a hoe. Just beneath the plants guano should be eprink ed cn the soil, as the punjeut smell of this manure has been found to be an excellent protection against the several bugs that attack the vines with damaging etlect. AbLds, lime or tine road dust is considered good ta eift over the young plants as a safeguard against the less formidable insscte. As soon aa the first blossom buds show on the runners pinch out tho bud at the extremities. This will increase the growth of lateral shoots and tend to enlarge the fruit. About the only further attention required wid be to keep the eurface free from woeds and to stir the soil lightly with the hoe. Some gardeners thin out the fruit and also place bits of slate or charred shingles under each melon to improve its sue and flavor. By all means avoid heavy soil, and do not plant near any other member of the melon family. Here are hoiiis of the tried and successful sorts: The large ones include champion market, new giant, Ilackcrnack and Long Island beauty. The small ones are golden-netted gem. Jenny Lind, emerald gem and orange Christiua. How to Take Care of Hen Minore. Fifty fowls will make in their roosting house alone more than Söven cwt. per auium of the beet manure in the world, says a correspondent of the Stixkman. Hence flti? fowls will make enough manure for an acre of land, seven CwL of guano being a usual quantity applied per acre, hen manure being even richer in ammonia and fertilizing salts. Haul a load or more of dry muck or light earth and throw it under the roots. The droppings will mix up with it. and the coop will remain dry and clean. In this way the manure can be applied more evenly and easier than without the earth in it. There should be two or three times as much earth as manure, as it is very strong and mutit be put on very thin, as two barrels of pure manure is enough for an acre of graHs. It is one of the best fertilizers for corn, wheat, potatoes and alt kinds of garden plants and it will keep the bugs off of cucumbers and radishes. Utttmu rind &uKifmtiona. Practical l armr.J Itackwheat. when thoroughly ripe and dry, shells out very easily because of the exceedingly slender filament by which, the seed is he'd. On this account it is best to cut it when the de w is on. Some men who plant carefuliy and cultivate thoroughly slight the work of the harvest. A dull sickle in the mower or reaper will leave enough grass or grain uncut to amount to quite an item of loss. Anosage hedge, properly planted and cared for, makes a good and economical fnce for almost any place and uee. bet

Then trim. Perhaps the rsason we have such poor roads is became what is everybody's business is nobody's business, r'armers bhould take this matter in hand and make it especially their business until they secure good roads. If we would bring our wheat lands up to the standard of the wheat lands of I'.acland or Belgium, we could double our production of that grain. It can be done by fertilization and cultivation. This would make grain-farming profitable. Secretary liusk says that we can get ."0 per cent, more oir our lands, if we farm them in the right wav, than we do now, without adding another acre to cultivation. According to this we aro in no immediate danger of insufficient production. A compost heap will assist in increasing the value of your manure, if you handle it properly. It must be watered and turned eo that it does not become dry and fire-fanged. It requires much labor, but pays if yoa desire a quickacting fertilizer. Tractical forestry not only aims to preserve our present forest areas, but to show that the cultivation of limber can be made a profitable industry. Aa this is one way in which we may come to a greater diversity of crops, farmers should give it all the encouragement possible. We consar.tly see men in business life changing from one mercantile occuption to another, and express no surprise. But if one of them should engage in farming, his failure would be at once prophesied. This shows that the world considers it a difficult occupation, requiring special training. If you have a poor field which rarely gives satisfactory crops, figure carefully the cost of cultivating it beford you again put in the plow. Would you not be more cortain of escaping loss, at least, if you ehou d seed it down and turn on good stock? And in this way you might bring it op to the point of profitable cropping. One reason why large farms are not cultivated as thoroughly and made to yield as much profit per acre as smaller ones, is that the owners are often hampered for working capital. One point that we seem to often overlook is that a farmer should have ready money porportioned to the number of his acres. We try to secure U.e acres, and think the rest wid take care oi itcelf. Women Miouhl Know. That bits of zinc should never be thrown away. If it is used in the kitchen aromxl the range, save all the trimminzs when the edges become broken or curled and must be cut oil', and when at last it is worn out and must be replaced, gave tho old t.ieco; cut it up with an old pir of eheaiS or bend pnd break it into pieces, and occasionally throw some of it on the coats when ther ia a hot tire. It will then seldom be necessary to have the pipe cleaned. That a genuine French charlotte rueso is not eUileued by gelatine, but is made of whipped creaui liavorod in various ways nnd sweetened. The cake which forms the cover is always sponge cake, aud the most convenient form is that of simple lady (injers, that are to be found at every bakeahop. That white and delicately tinted book bindings may be cleaned by rubbing the covers with a soft, perfectly fresh piece oi chamois tkin dipped in powdered pumice stone. That it is in the small details of cookery that the secret of success lies, especially the deft blending that so combines the ingredients into the appetizing whole. Processes cannot be hurried without dis turbing the perfection of results, aud she who prepares a meal with but one aim to get through generally loses all the value of her time and trouble in soggy, crude and disagreeable dishes. That if ink is spattered on woodwork it may be taken out by scouring with sand and water and a little ammonia, thin rinsing with nod a and water. That gold or silver embroidery may be cleaned by warming spirits of wine and sppiving it to the embroidery with a bit of solt sponge and theu drying it by rubbing it with soft, new Canton flannel. That if apples are cored before they are pared there is less danger of their breaking. That food which ia fried should be thoroughly drained to insure the greatest possible degree of wholesomeness. The articles should be allowed to dip as much as possible, and then placed on thin mie'azod paper to further absorb the fat. Never pile them one on top of another, and serve them as hot aa possible. That a tableapoonful of melted butter is measured after melting, but that a spoonful of butter melted is measured before. The distinction should be arefully observed, as it makes the difference between success and failure. That many a enp of poor colTeo is due to the fact that the coffee pot is not clean. Too uaov housekeepers are careless about this utensil which should he kept scrupulously clean and free from the brownish deposit which too oitau defaces the msile. That almonds and other cuts may be blanched by pouring boiling water over them after they have been shelled, letting them stand for a momentanen throwing them into cold water and rubbing the brown skin off, which comen without trouble. Then dry them on a clean cloth. That the meat and vegetable for a stew should, when possible, be browned in a little fat, and then the hot water added. Aa toon a3 the stew comes to the boiling point skim it and net it back where it will simmer, but not boiL In this wsy the meat will ta tender and juicy. That the work of garnishing should not be overdone. Even a simple garnish adds much to the appearance of a disb, but too much decoration only injures it. Garnishes should be so arranged as not to interfere with serving. That it is better to have the sauce poured around an srticle than over it, snd to have the border ol the dish garnished with bits of parsley, celsry tops or carrot leavss. That the dishes on which meats, fish, iel ies and creams are placed should be large enough to have a margin ot an inch or so botween the food and the lower edge of the border of the dish. That the white of an erg is one of the most efficient remedies for a burn or a cald, excluding the air at cues, and

affording instant re'ief. It is ao used as an antidote for several poisons, taken internally, especially those of a corrosive nature. To remove oil stains from the pages of a book without destroying the printing, gently warm tho stained part with a hot iiatiron (so as to take out as much of the oil as possible), on blotting paper; then dip a brush in rectified spirits of turpentine and draw it gently over the sides of the paper, which must be kept warm daring the whole process. Repeat the operation as many times as the thickness of the paper may require. When the oil is entirely removed, to restore the paper to Its usual whitene8, dip another brush in highly rectified spirits of wine and draw it in like manner over the stained place, particularly around the edges. By adopting this plan the spots will entirely disappear and the paper resume its ordinary whiteness. Ink stains on silver or plated articles may be effectually removed without injury to the articles by making a little chloride of lime into a pa.-te with water and rubbing the stains until they disappear, and afterward washing the articles with soap and water. Tea should always be made with freshly boiled water. The gases that are in the water and give an agreeable flavor are driven off by boiling, and when water has been boiled for any length of time it loses most of its gas and will not make tea of a fine flavor. Fried Hominy Have a frying-pan with hot butter in it, and put in as much hominy aa required for the meal, l'our over it a very little water or milk to keep it from burning. Salt to suit tho taste. Ito not stir it while cooking, but leave the kernels whole. Strawberry Pudding Make a plain cream pie, and place it in a deep glass dish; cover tho top with strawberries, mashed with a littie powdered sugar; cover the whole with whipped cream, plate on ice until desired for the table; serve with thin cream flavored. Coffee Jelly Soak a box of gelatine in half a pint of cold water for two hours, l'our over it at the end of that time one and one-half pints of boiling water. When it is dissolved add one pint of uar nnd a pint of elrong collee. Strain, turn iuto molds and set away to harden. Hum Pineapple Prepare the pineapple and sugar as for the plain preserve, but when packing the jars, if pint jars be used, leave room for one tablespooniul of Jamaica rutu. Tour the rum on top of the mixture ar.d seal the jar. This is nice to serve with ice-creau or frozen pudding. Pye Muffins Mix one cup of rye meal (not llour) with one cup of while Hour, one-quarter cup of sugar And one teaspoonful of salt. Peat one egg lL'ht, without separating, add to it one cup of milk, and slowly pour this on tho dry material, beating a'd the while. Add one taldeepoonhil of baking powder, put in pressed mutlin tins and buk twenty minutes in a quick oven. Strawberry Short Cake To one quart of llour and two heapiug teaspoonelul of Horsford's baking powder, one tablespooiiful white sugar and a little sait; mix thoroughly while dry. Chop up three tablespoonsful butter in llour thin prepared. To one large cunful of swo t nii k add one egg. Then put th whole together &3 quickiv and with litilo handling ns poible. Poll into two sheets, erch about half an inch thict. Pake in a well-greased pan, iayinc one sheet on the top of the other. Wln done, and while warm, separate them nnd put between the two crusts a thick layer of strawberries, well sprinkled with powdered white eugar. Cut like a pie and eat with cream and sugar. Pineapple Preserve Twi-t olf the top ami bottom, and pare oft' tue rough outtide of pineapples ; then weih them u:id cut them in ulices, chips or quarters', or cut them in f;ur or tix and shape each

piece like n whole tincaptde; to each ! puuud of fruit put a teacup of water; put it in a preserving kettle, cover it aiid w- t it over the fire and let it boil iren ly until they are ten ler and dear; then taKo then from the water by sticking u fork in the I center of euch slice, or wun u si-.iiMuier, ' iuto a di ah. Put to the water white suar. f, pound for each pound of fruit, etir it unt.i it ia ail dissolved ; th-u rut in tho pineapple, cover the kettle and let boil ueii-iy until transparent throughout; wh-.n it is o take it out, let it cooi, and put it in g ass jure ; let th nvrun boil or e. miner gently until it is thick and rich, and when nearly cool pour it over the fruit. The n.-xt day secure the jars as before directed. Pineapple ilono in this way is a beau'iful aud delicious prcrve. The usual manner of preserving it, bv puttiug it iuto the syrup without first boiling it, makes it little better than sweet.ine i leather. Pies.rved Uaw Piueapple Pineapple is one ot the fruita with which cue ioU.-t neu great care, else It will grow hard in cooking. Here is a delicious and rich method of preserving it: Pare the pineapple and take out all the eyes, rsow, with a very sharp knife, cut the pineapple iu thin slices, cutting down the nie until the heart is reached. Tuis is to be discarded. Weigh the sliced pineapple and put it in a large earthen dish. Add to it as many poun ld of granulated Bnar as there ere pounds of pineapple, and stir well. Pack this mixture in pint or quart jars ; put on the covers and tighten them, then put away in the preserve closet. Tho pineapple will keep for a year or mora and be perfectly tender and fine flavored. About the 1st ot June is a ood time to put up pineapple. (Joixl liißirwfcrrviwj. Sueli la I am-. N. Y. We air.
