i HOME AND FARM. For tho destrurtlon of eartu worms vi, grass plots, etc., the following is given. Sprinkling Bra plots, garden bedd, etc with clear lime water, iu damp weather, when the worms are uear the surface, in most caes several times, la .aid to be de etructive of the worms, while it is rather beneficial than o'.borwl-e to the vegetation. The mjority of a convention of German poinologists expressed a decided preference lor the pjramiJUl lorm lor fruit tree. The advantages claimed lor it are the minimum of shade, greatest strength, avoidance of eevere wounding ot the tree, production of better frviit, and at the same time fewer diä advantaßes from storms, weight of snow, excels ot fruit, theft, etc. To farmers especially is the winter the best season of tbo whole year in which to inferru themselves ol the true condition of their finances. It is qutto as difficult for a farmer as for ä m-rcbant to know the gain or profit of any year's labor without keep ing a xigid cash account, and at the Leaning of the new year makirnr out the exact bal ance sheets. It is equally necessary to know that no monev cr labor has been foolishly 8p?nt as to know that some javeaimc. ! alraid to Iook at com sm i , 7Ü face the ßtiare tquarely end then they won't lie. It is as foolhardy to expect pros perity without a comprehensive knowledge i.f the fae; as 1 .r the blind to believe them-i-elves safo bef-ause t bey can see no danger. Peacheh and Plums As many ol onr readers mav want to plant orchards thlsJ Dring, we will give a list of free stone peaches the best qualities as they ripen In succession; also a select list ol plums for the same purpose: Hale's Early, Serrate Early York, Early Newington.Cooledpe'. 1 avorite, Large Earlv York. Crawford's Early, Mor ris White. Old Mixon, Stump the World. Crawlord'a Early still holds its position as the most profitable of all market ports. Several additions could be made to the above, but thi list will do to begin with. Plums Prince's Yellow Gage, Imperial Gage, Lom bard, Washington, Smith's Orleans, Jefföi 8on, Bavay, CoVa Golden Drop. A correspondent writing from Hon ey well Farm, Wabash, gives some interesting tacts relative to flax culture: It is true that flax mills all over the country are monuments of some mistake; but the farmer is not dam aged if he knows that horses, cattle, and especially sheep, feed on flax straw and chaff with great relish, producing a slick, oily coat of hair. The first year that I raised flax I sold the straw lor ?5 to G per ton. If I bad known its value an stock food, it would have been worth at least $lo rr ton. I am now feeding flax straw. Sheep eat it in preference to wheat straw or corn fodder. "Thousands of farmers would not bave to burn their straw." The chaff is most excellent for potatoes. Put a good lorkful on each hill, cover it with earth, cultivate as usual. You can bid defiance to drougb, and get good, large potatoes. Farmers are not damazed where they learn how to anolv the straw and chaff. It is not more destructive or exhaustive on land than corn. The analvsls is about the same. The flax culture leaves the ground in better condition than corn. Prizes fob Essays. "The National Butter and Egg Association," at its last meeting proposes the following prizes for practical and scientific essays: Batter. First prize ?200; second priz, 1 100; third prire. 50. Eggs. First prize, f200; second prize, f 10O; third priw, 50. The tollowing conditions must be ob served by all the competitors, viz: Tho essays on butter must treat the subject practically and scientifically. In connection with the same, plans for milk rooms, ice houses, and other buildings for mak ing, handling, and holding butter must be given. The essays in order to secure the prizes offered muBt exceed in excellence the three essays which secured the three first prizes offered last year. The essays on eggs must treat of them scien tifically, as to the best manner of securing fresh and fine eggs, and the practicability of holding them for any leneth of time, also the best manner of handüng, pres3rv ing, packing and shipping. The essays on eggs are required to treat fully on the breed of poultry as well as upon the feed best adapted to promote its health aud produc tion of good keeping eggs. The essays to be submitted must be sent to James Aderson, 195 Duane btreet, New York city. Fx kd for Houses. The late John Stanton Gould, of Henderson, N. Y., was looked upon as good authority on horses. In speaking of their care he says that having found a great difference ol opinion prevail ing with regard to feeding horses, he con eluded to go lo headquarters and investigate for himself. The citv ot New York first claimed his attention, where be spent con siderable time in visiting the horse railroad stables, and lrom New York he went to Brooklyn, and called on the stable keepers of the omnibus lines. The people in charge were very courteous, opening their books to him and civlng mm any lniormauon ne re qnired. To sum up Mr. Gould's statements into the smallest compass: he found that the stable keepers had all settled down on twelve pounds of good hay and ten ponnds ot corn meal per aay to me norse. uy mat feed a railroad horee was kept to his highest condition, and was enabled to do bis work more satisfactorily than under any other system that had been tried. Oats had been repeatedly u sea as an article or rood, and. the coat was carefully compared with that of corn meal. I wS tougd at the time that durina the hot weather the foed- ing of this amount of meal would bs in jurious; but the result of their experience was that corn meal, on the who:e, for a rail road or omnibus horse was the true thing. But they had one very strange practice that he could not exactly understand they in variablv watered all their horses between 12 and 1 o'clock at night, claiming that it aided tteir digestive powers, Eheki Raisiso. A correspondent of the. Farmers Union thus relates his experience: Every wheat-grower possessing 160 acres of land, should keep at least 100 sheep, and ' Lis farm should be so fenced that they pay I be changed from one field to another 'avery two years. By this system, the lard may be kept tolerably from weeds, and always be in good condition for wheat. My plan is this: keep a flock of about 150, and every apri tel SO acres with timothy and clov.r jne following spring my sheep and utile are turned into this held, where thQy it9 kept jwo seasons, plowing up in the t of tbe second years for wheat the next. The field is now clean, ant will produce large crops lor three or. rour years, when 1 nrst couomeEoed this tractic. immediately after the war. my land was so completely overrun, vith weeds that it would not p'ro a Bavins; crop, whilo the wild rose Vm,hra w -e tso thick that mv hands and knwa needed to be case-hardened in order to stack it with any degree of comfort. J now iret larze crcpi of wheat on the oldes land, and there can not be a briar lound or. the farm. The boneflt to the land pay lor the keeping of the sheep, - aDd bave Me wool and increase cloar profit. This 3 ear my ticci sheared four and three-fourths pounds per head, and Eroduced between forty and fifty lambs, very tail I sort out the wethers over two years old and tho old ewes, feed them three or four months and kp!1 tbem fir mutton, at generally from to ?6 per head . I also sell from 550 to 30 worth of mutton to the butchtrs during the summer, and can al ways have a supply of lresh meat for my own table at small cost. Some seasons I bave turned my flack into a field without feeding, using the plow wherever opportunity presented during tLe summer. This plan works well also, and a field served in this way will produce as much wheat the next year, as it w.iuld in two years following without. When tbe plan is adopted, sufficient stock must be put on to keep the weeds from going to eeed. There may be better ways to "keep up" a farm.but the results from my system ara very satis factory. domestic RECIPES. Waffles Three cups of sugar, four cups offlour.one half cupof sweet milk, five egg, one teaspoon ot soda, two teaspoons ot cream tartar. Nick Cookies.

Da housekeepers, gen erally, know how nicely canned salmon an swers for the meat at dinner? It is verb rich, hearty and delicious, and one can is anttifint fnr til or seven oersocs. Try it - H H . V - - with mashed potatoes. A Good Sorp. When soup is used as tue principal uisu umun, instead of a first course, it should be richer in vegetables and much thicker. Put the bone on to cook in cold water, adding salt. Let it simmer an hour or two, then boil gently two hours. One hour before serving, put into the kettle cab bage and onions, sliced thin. In about halt an hour, add sliced potatoes, pearl barley or rice, and a handful of vermicelli. Many like the taste ot parsely. Add pepper if you like. .Do not throw away the bones alter dinner. They will make an equally gocd soup the second and even a third time, it cracked. Killing and Cleaning Hoos. The West ern Rural gives some timely advice on this subject: One of the mistakes, and one too often made, is scalding tbe hogsby guess. Tbe proper temperature of the watei is 185 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit. This will scald bat will not set the hair, unless by gross negllsence. It you have many hog' to kill, it will pay vou to have your scalding tank made with a sheet iron bottom, with a narrow fire-place beneath. The water once hot, a very little lire will keeD it so. and it eaves dipping tack and forth. If the farmer have any one of the good farm-steamers, a pipe or bose mav be carried from thence to the tank, and th steam will keen the water not. in stick ing, do not kill too quickly. The heart should not be touched, but rather the blood vein leading to the heart. Tnis is learned with a little practice and observation. A thrust in the right direction, aud a slight turn of the wrist do it. It vou do not succeed the first time, try again and immediately, for the. rlizht thrust must be learnod. Do not be in a hurry in any of the operations of . 1 1 A 1 111 dressing, and. aoove an, ao uov m uuu extremely cold day, unless it be indoors.and do not let the hogs freeze while cooling, 11 if hvv. For. sometimes, if frozen on the outside, the interior will taint before It cools. Hence the necessity of spreading the carcass thoroughly. To be come thoroughly cool will sometimes take thirty-six to forty-eight hours. Special attention should be given to clean ing the head, ears, reel, etc., ior uonen en hances the price of the hogs from one-half of a cent to one cent per found, and this well repays the extra labor If intended ior nome v-onsumDtion, and left fur the women-folks to do after the hogs get cold, it is impossible to get them properly cleaned. Never send the insiiios into the house to be cleaned. At hog-killing time, the women have enougn to do without. If they take care of the fat after it is separated from tbe entrails, it Is enough. It is a small job for a man or deft boy to separate tbem on a suiiaoie Dencu ai tbo killing place. SCROFULA. It does not make any difference how severe a rase of Scrofula, Ulcers.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two and a half pounds of bile, which contains a great amount of waste material taken lrom the blood When the livei becomes torpid or congested, it fails toeiimlrjate this vast amonnt of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains t poison the blood and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condition of the Wood when it Is receiving and retaining each day two and a half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs Hie kidneys, lungs, skin, etc.; but these organs became overtaxed In per forming this labor In addition to their natural functions, and can not Ions wltbstaud the pres sure, but become variously diseased.
