I have made a small collection of wild
western tilings during the past seven
years, and have put them together, hop
ing some day when I get feeble to travel
with he aggregation and erect a large
monument of kopecks for my executors,
administrators, and assigns forever'
Last fall I desired to add to my rare col
lection a large hornet's nest. 1 had an
embalmed tarantula and her porclain
lined uest and I desired to add to these
tt.e gray and airy home of the hornet
I procured one of the large size after
cold weather and hung if in the cabin
by a string. I forgot about it until this
spring. When warm weather came
something reminded me of it. I think
it was a hornet. He jogged mv memory
in some way and called mv attention to
it. Memory is not located where I
thought it was. It seemed as though
wherever he touched me he awakened
a memory—a warm men
wry, with a red
place all around it.
Then some hornets came and begm
to rake up old personalities. I remem
ber that one of them lit on mv upper
li^. lie thought it was a rosebud.
When he went away it looked like a
gladioia bulb. 1 wraped a wet sheet
around it to take out the warmth and
reduce-the swelling so that I could go
through the folding doors and tell my
wife about it. Hornets lit all over me
ami walked around on my person. I
did not dare to scrape theni otf because
they are so sensitive. You have to be
very guarded in your conduct toward a
hornet.
I remember once while I was watching
the busy little hornet gathering honey
and June bugs from the bosom of a rose,
years ago, I stirred him tip with a club,
more as a practical joke than anything
else, and he came and lit in my sunny
hair—that was when I wore m^ own
hair—and he walked around through
my gleaming tresses «juite a while, mak
ing tracks as large as a watermelon all
over my head. If he hadn't run out of
tracks my bead would have looked like
a load ofsummer sijii.t-hes. 1 remember
I had to thump my head against the
."tnoke house in order to smash him,
and I had to comb him out afterward
with a fine comb and wear a waste
paper haslet two weeks for a hat. Much
has been said of the hornet, but he has
an odd, quaint way, after all, that is
forever new.
A Guyly-Dressod IMinuleror
The food-phiiiderer, which is what
the old English words that mak-» cater
pillar mean, that has stripped the leaves
from rose bushes, grapevines and trees
in and around New York, is a beautiful
and wonderful thing when seen under a
microscope. Its head is like a glossy red
cherry, and is covered with still straw
coloreu spikes, which cross each other
and stand out in every direction. Its
jaws are two broad, brown, socketed
hinges, opening sidewise, and disclosing,
when open, as intricate masticating ma
chinery as is seen in the n.dUth ol a
crab. On each side of the (lastic body
where it is joined to the head is a bunch
of a dozen or more dark feathers of un
equal length, tufted at the ends. Some
of these feathers are nearly as long as
the caterpillar. On the upper parts of
the folds of the hodv, near the head,
are black stripes. Between them
tifst and each alternate fold are small
tufts of down surrounded by radiating
spikes. Then come four large
tufts, light gold on top and cream color
beneath. Immediately after these a
Mripe of black and brown plush, dotted
with cream color runs down the back,
reaching to the tail. On this stripe arc
two valvular pipes, like tiny red smoke
stacks. The four tufts can be plainly
seen without, a glass, and the pipes are
as visible to the eye as minute red spots.
The caterpillar etuis in a bunch of feath-
VVH
similar to thono near the neatl. tint
much larger. Under the fore part of
the bodv are six legs, like the legs of a
crab. 15ehind are eight legs the upper
parts of which hang in heavy folds, and
looks like a boy's legs with his panta
loons pushed above his knees. 1 hese
terminate in
that resemble invert­
ed canoes wher closed. When the cat
erpillar is moving they spread out int
fiat disks.

Dr. Sturtevant reports that the husk
corn, which is of little value fjr the
grain, is most prolific of all foliage, and
therefore presumably best for fodder
purposes.
The experiments of Wolfe and others
at German experiment stations shows
that a horse weighing 1.100 to 1,203
pounds would eat from 22 to 27 1-2
pounds of hay if no other food were
given. With grain 20 to 25 pounds was
usually eaten bv working horses or' that
weight. Lighter horses would not need
quite so much, but we can find no date
of experiments with horses weighing
less than 1,000 pounds.—Couatrv lien

Farmers who have kept a strict ac
count with their stock say that a pound
of poultry can be made far less than a
pound of pork, yet the laboring man
who has to buy both feels that he can
not afford to buy poultry very often, as
it costs more than other meats. This
leads the Concord Monitor to remark
that the poultry growing business may
be much extended before the market
will be overstocked so as to bring the
price down to where it will not pay to
raise.
The American Cultivator states that a
ton o! wheat bran is worth $14.59 for
manure, while a ton of corn meal is on
ly worth $ti.5. These figures are based
on the
cost of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and pVash in their commercial forms,
an I represent thecomparative manurial
value of feed. It thinks that at present
prices farmers can purchase bran to feed
and make manure more cheaply than
they can otherwise obtain it. After
feeding its mammal value will be great
er, because it will be more available.
Beans are not eaten whole by any
kind of stock excepting sheep. But, by
grinding and mixing with corn or oat
tneal, beans unfit for sale may be profit
iblyfed to cattle, horses, aud pigs. They
ire very strong food, an 1 as stock be
•oine used to them the proportion of
bean-meal may be increased.
A large number of farmers make a se
rious mistake by dispisingor -Electing to
despise, the small things that come in
their way. It is
safe to say thatthe income
of any farm can bo more doubled by
small things that would interfere with
the number of cows milked or tons of
hay produced.
In view of the great losses every year
incurred by farmeis owing to the use of
poor or bad seed corn, we cannot urge
upon them too strongly the advisability
of exercising great care in the selection
of seed corn. Whatever outlay of time
or money may be made to do this well,
will be amply repaid next year by surer
and better crops. An Iowa correspond
ent. gives elsewhere a method of insur
ing good seed, which can be followed
everywhere with some slight allowance
for the necessity he is under to pick his
com early in order to avoid any possi
ble danger from frost.
There is a point in sowing wheat which
deserves attention. It is that of the
depth of the sowing. On mellow land
much of t'he seed is buried, too deep for
the most successful germination and
growth, as experiments have deter
mined. One and one-half inches in
depth seem to be the best for wheat,
but varying from one to two inches
seems to meet all requirements. It will
grow if planted deeper, but notsoquick
lv, and if buried shallow does not obtain
suflicient moisture if the ground is at all
dry.
The dandelion has of late become very
popular as a salad herb in hngland. It
requires the same routine in the way of
culture as chickory, viz.: Sow in April
in drills, take up tne roots when fully
grown in autumn, and plant-in a dark,
warm cellar or mushroom house. The
young blanched leaves are excellent for
"making up winter salads and they mie
in at a time when the ordinary supply
of outdoor material for salading is at its
lowest ebb.
Recipes for the Housewife.
QUINCE JAM.—Tut fruit in boiling water
until skins will rub off easily. Then
par. and cut off the fair slices. Use
three-fbrths of sugar by weight to one
of fruit. Stew till syrup is quite thick.
HICKORY NUT CAKK.—1One-half-cup of
butter, two cups of sugar, and four eggs,
beaten separately three cups of flour,
one-half cup of sweet milk, two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, two cups of
hickory nut meats
minced, oneteaspoon
ful extract of vanilla.
PARISIAN CAKE.—Five tumblers of
sifted flour, three of white sugar, one
half tumbler of butter, one tumbler of
milk one teaspoonful of soda dissolved
in a little water. Mix well, beat three
e^gs, yelksand whites beaten separately
one teaspoonful of nutmeg. Beat all
well for ten minutes. Bake in a moder
ate oven.
Pornm CIUCKKS.—'This is an agreeable
relish, aud makes a pleasant luncheon
when traveling. Take a roast fowl and
carve off all the meat. Take two slices
oi cold ham and chop it with chicken
add to this one-quarter pound of the
best butter add saltand pepper to taste
now pound this altogether to
a
paste
put the mixture in a jam pot cover
closely. It will keep in a cod place ten
days, or long enough for any moderate
jocrney.
COTTON'»SI:M On..—Cotton seed oil is
•ltd to be superior for many cooking
purposes. It does not scorch so readily
us other oils, and if properly refined
gives an excellent flavor to wha is
cooked with it. People have been using
more cotton-seed oil than they knew,
much of it being palmed of as olive oil.
Now that its merits are better under
stood, it can afford to pass under its true
colors.
CUCUMBER VTSLP—Pare one dozen
large, ripe cuiumbiri take out the seeds
and grate the cucumbers make a bag o
thin muslin put them in it and hang
them up to drain over night, chop two
or three onions, two or three green pep
pers, add a tablespoonful of salt, and
the thin substance left in the bag one
quart of the best vinegar is needed.
This will keep, and will be delightfully
fragrant and fresh in midwinter.
Benzole and common clay are used to
clean marble. Grease spots can be re
moved from marble by the application
of a paste made of crude potash and
whiting. Brush it all over the surface
to be cleaned aud polish off.
A GOOD PUDDING SAUCE is made in
the following manner: Take the yolks
of three eggs, a cup of sugar and a lump
of butter the size of a small egg. Beat
these ingredients together well, adding
a half pint of boiling water and flavoring
to suit your tiste.
ALMOND SPONGK CAKK.—Pound in a
white mortar, until very fine, one ounce
of bitter almonds take out and put into
a bowl, pour over them four tablespoon
fuls of boiling water, and let them sim
mer three or four minutes. To the
yolks of twelve eggs, well beaten, add
slowly one pound of sieved sugar, and
beat light then, after wiping the al
monds dry, add them. Beat until very
stiff tha whites of the eggs, and add to
the yolks arid qugar, alternating with
the flour. Stir well but very lightly to
gether, as bwating destroys the light
ness of sponge cake. Bake in tins with
upright sides, and in a moderate
oven.
STEWED ONIONS—Cut the onions
through, boil till quite tender, put them
in a colandei to drain, press with a
spoon to get all tho wrater out. While
the onions are draining, make a dress
ing for them in the following manner:
Put a lump of butter in a skiilet the size
of an egg, and when melted stir in a ta
blespoonlul of flour and when slightly
browned add three-fourths cup rich
sweet milk, stir con tantly till it boils
let it boil one minute, then add salt ami
pepper to suit the taste, then stir in the
onions. This makes a delicious sauce to
eat with roast fowls.*,
A delicious pie is made by stoning and
chopping one heaping cup of raisiiisf
mixing with them the juice and rind of
lemon, the yelks of two eggs. Bake
with bottom crust only, and make a
meringue of the whites of the eggs. Vou
may put one whole egg in the pie, and
make it with an upper crust.
Tomato-Plants From Cuttings.
Have any of ®ur friends ever tried to
raise tomato plants from cuttings and
if so, with what results? Last fall we
rooted a slip from a tomato vine which
had escaped the first frost of the season,
and at the same time we planted some
seeds. The cutting is now quite a large
plant, branched out and in full blossom,
promising fruit, whilst the seedlings are
still small without sigrns of either branch
or blossom. From this experiment we
conclude that, while all the numberless
attempts during the last decade to pro
duce earlier bearing varieties of as good
qualities as some of our best popular
sorts possess, have proved to be failures,
or nearly so, we may still look in anoth
er direction for attaining the end so
eagerly sought. Every florist knows
that even small cuttings of house plants
come to bloom just as if they were not
severed from the parent plant and put
on their own resources. Every branch
or sucker of the tomato vine produces
blossoms with the tendency to bear fruit.
Is it not reasonable to expect that when
turning such branch into an individual
plant this natural tendency is preserved
the same as it is in the case of the ger
anium slip? The problem of pushing
the fruiting season of this wholesome
vegetable a week or two ahead, can, we
have no doubt, be solved by the use of
cuttings instead of seedlings.—Midland
Farmer.
Secret of liaising Turkeys.
One of the most successful breeders
remarks on this point: One great secret
of raisin turkeys is to take care, and
take care all summer and even then
you cannot raise them, for sometimes
ther will not lay or they will not hatch,
or something will befall them. Some
times we raise turkeys without much
care, when the season is specially favor
able, but generally the measure of care
is the measure of success. A boy ten or
twelve vearsold, with a little direction
from his father, can easily take care of
two hundred turkeys, and he cannot
earn so much money on the farm in any
other way. It is an old maxim that if a
thing is worth doing it is worth doing
well' Some may think this constant
care is tc o much trouble to raise tur
keys. This is a free country, and you
can omit any part, or the whole,
of these suggestions. If you
know a better course, by
all means pureue it. This painstaking
has made turkey raising about as sure as
any other branch of farm industry. I
have usually kept from eight to ten tur
keys as breeders, and have raised from
ninety-nine to one hundred in a sum
mer. In 1800 I sold my turkeys for
twenty-seven conts a pound, amounting
to $280.40. In ISoO I sold for twenty-five
to twenty-seven cents a pound gross
amount of sales, $380.14. That year I
kept an account of expenses, and calcu
lated the net profit at $213.58. In 1H70I
sold for twenty-five c-ants a pound
amount of sales, $311.32. In 1871 I sold
for eighteen cents a potind gross amount
of sales, $2St».24. I would rather raise
turkeys and sell at fifteen cents than to
raise pork and sell at ten cents a pound.
Perhaps in fittening pork you can save
the manure better, but the turkey drop
pings, if gathered and saved every week
and kept dry are worth half as much as
guano, and are certainly worth a cent a
pound.
The turkey crop is steadily increasing
in value, not more by the increased
number of farmers who make this
specialty in their poultry raising than
by the increased attention and skill of
those wh have long been in the busi
ness. Care in selecting stock for breed
ing brings ample rewards. The pror-pect
was never better than now for the ex
tension of the business among the farm
ers who have a good range and good
markets. The average size of turkeys in
the districts where the business i* made
a specialty is steadily increasing and we
look for still further improvements.
—Lancaster Farmer.
Watermelon®.
Concerning the selection of water
melons for eating, the Baltimore Ameri
can offers the following information.
Some of the verities mentioned may not
be found in our western markets:
"Wfiat is called the ice-rind melon is
said to be the best. It is a round, light
geeen melon, pith a very thin rind, and
the buyer is less apt to be fooled upon
this variety than on any other, as it is
nearly always red to the rind. The
Gypsy melon is the long, yellow, green
striped article, generally has a thick
rind, and can not. always be depended
upon. The Georgia melon is something
similar in style, but a much better fruit
then comes the niggerbead, a bluish
melon, and a great favorite with the
western trade. The Cuban green is an
other choice variety, being a lusciotM
round, striped melon.
