Tho soil being in proper condition. for an apple orchard proceed as follows: Lay out tho rows north wid south, and on this lino dig holes 15 inches deep, feet in diameter and 15 feet apart, with tho distauco between tho rows from 80 to 32 feet. By digging the holes so large tno sou is pulverized and mellowed and in a great measure made impervious to drought and greatly helps tho young treo tho fcrst year to majce a good growth. Practice has demonstrated that the best method is to regulate the distance apart north and south 1 5 feet, as they shelter each other in heavy winds as well as shading each other's trunks from sun scalds. In .California this system is adopted almost exclusively. There they plant and prune closer than we do, but wo must come to it sooner or later. There is no sense in a big unshapely treo if a small, well pruned ono will carry as much fruit and of a better quality, where ono man can gather four bushels of fruit standing on the ground to five standing on a ladder, to say nothing of the orchard's ability to bear moro continuously if close, intelli gent pruning is made tho rule. To plant a peach orchard the holes should bo tho samo sizo and the rows in tho same direction 12 feet between tho trees and 20 feet between the rows, for pears, tho preparation the same; for spreading varieties, 15 feet distant in tho rows and 25 feet between; for pyram idal varieties, 12 foetoa.the rows and 18 feet between. How to Itemove Stains From Marble. Mix into a paste, with tho necessary quantity of water, an ounce each of powdered Frda, pounded pumico stono and powdered chalk. Spread tho mix ture over tho mr.rblo, leave it on from 12 to 24 Jior.vs, then wash it off with soap and warm water and polish with nn old silk rag. Or mako a mixture of tho thickness of cream with strong soft soap and quicklime, spread it over tho marble for 24 hours and wash off and polish as abovo. Any stains that do not givo way to theso remedies will require a competent marblo mason. How to Make tho Shells For Eclair. For chocolate eclairs put an ounce of butter about half a tablespoonful in saucepan with 6 tablespoonfuls o boiling water. When it begins to boil, stir in about 2 ounces of flour, pos sibly a tcaspoonful mora What you want is a slightly cooked paste that is very stiff. It is much easier to pour tho boiling water and butter into the flour, After you havo mado tho paste thus, tako from tho fire and break in 4 eggs, one at a time, beating each in very thor oughly. The eclair pans come in sheet iron. Grease lightly and pour in tho mixture. They must not brown, only cook, and will bake in about 15 minutes in a quick oven. Cut each one open at tho sido and put in chocolate filling as de scribed for cake. When cool, ice each one with chocolate icing all ovr. Let them dry separately; then pile pyramid wise on your cake plate. How to Prepare Browned Tomatoes. Take largo round tomatoes and halvo them, place them, tho skin 6ide down, in a frying pan in which a very small quantity of butter has been previously melted; sprinklo them with salt and pepper and dredgo well with flour, Placo tho pan on tho hot part of the flro and let them brown thoroughly; then 6tir and brown again, and bo on until they aro quito dona They lose their acidity, and their flavor in superior to stowed tomatoes.

This last piyccss removes then dust of tho blacking. No patent black ings which have been invented to do -away with tho labor of polishing can be . recommended as durable They require. to be continually renewed and do not tako tho place of tho old fashioned blacking. After tho stovo has been fully black ed and polished tho nickel work should bo cleaned bright with whiting and put back in place.
