AGRIGU L TUBAL.
Profit ia Cows.
There are but few farmers who .fully
realize the true value of a good cow
well kept. As a general practice three
cows do not produce aa much milk,
butter or cheese as one would if treated
rightly and proper. No account is
kept of the amount of milk or butter
produced by each cow in the year. The
farmer with his cows U in the same
cituation as he is with the balance of
his firm. He keeps no account and
knows nothing about his business.
Two hundred and fifty pounds of but
ter per cow per year is not a large
yield, yet there are aa ore that do not
produce more than half that amount
thaatbfcre is that exceeds one half.
There is no poorer policy than starving
and freezing a milk cow. There can
be no more improvidence in any branch
of agriculture than half starving and
exposing to the storms of winter the
cow that is expected to furnish the
family, with milk, butter and groceries.
We have seen this spring from three
to five cows staggering about straw
stacks of farmers, which will require
nearly all the summer to repair wasted
nature, without supplying any of the
rich, nutritious milk which only comes
from a healthy, well-fed cow. Such a
farmer, should keep a less number or
provide better shelter and more rich
food. One cow well provided for is
better than three starved ones. One
will furnish more milk. Children
should never be fed on milk drawn
from a poor cow, .reduced to the bare
possibility of sustaining vitality. It is
cruelty to animals to thus treat them,
and it is murder to the innocent children
to feed, them on such food. The nrofit.
the morality and the .respectability of
it require tnat a man who keeps cows
should provide better than is done in
most cases in eeld climates. A man
that would cheat his,, poor old cow,
which has thus Sec raised his children,
SfeosJd be cBBsidered respectable in no
society. There may be cases" where
drought, flood or devouring insects
have rendered it impossible to provide
bountilully for,all the animals on the
farm-, but in 'such cases the owner
should not be compelled to see the poor
old cow shaking her horns at him in
his night dreams. We plead for the
cow, and if three or five cannot be pro
vided for, sell off, and one well fed will
provide more than the three or five.
How FamlBg Implement are
Neglected.
I havp' just come in from a walk, dis
gusted with the slip-shod manner in
which some of my fellow-farmers will
grsist- in carrying on their business,
ere is one of my neighbors a tiptop
good man, kind to a fault, indulgent
to his family, thoughtful for his hired
helpiri-trnth.-a'man whose opinion
upon matters of benevolence and
Christian charity I respect highly.
Still that man has no sort of feelings
for inammate'things and his wholesale
neglect" f or.their care is worse than a
hole iHy bis .right -hand pants pocket.
His wagea has. beea out. all 'whiter,
and stands now exposed to the change-!
able jreatber'of spring the worsts ort i
of weather to try the constitution of
took as well as man and beast. The
plow stands in the last furrow where it:
was lert.iri November. A stone-boat
lays by the barn-yard gate fiat on the ,
ground, and a single-wagon, harrow,
cultivators, horse-rake and numerous
hand tools are scattered about pro
miscaoiislyj fully exposed to Tain and
sunshine. A low estimate of loss from
this want of care is 7 per cent, of the
investment Look at the figures:

Economy of material is something to
look after as well as economy of time.

Case of Table Kxives. Table
knives should be thoroughly cleaned
or polished at least once a day, and
the best time, perhaps, is after dinner,
as then the morning's work is finished,
or should be, and more time may be
given; and secondly, if circumstances
liave not allowed getting a second or
tea set these will be in good condition
always when company comes.
The best material for scouring that I
have found is soft brick, such as may
be purchased at the stores, used with
a flannel rag and a little soft soap if
-! 1.1-J . ir.r
-uiu uiiiura are iu a. uau conoiuon.
A small potato with one end cut off is
good for this purpose, as it furnishes
sufficient moisture and the juice assists
in removing stains.
Where the knives have got rusty by
neglect, rub the blades over thoroughly
with sweet od; allow this to remain as
long as possible, a day or bo at least,
then rub the steel with finely-powdered
unslaked lime or pumice-stone. To
keep them from justing when not in
daily use drv them thoroughly and
roll up in a flannel cloth and keep it
in a dry place. IhuctkM.. "
TheKitchea Garden.
No time should be lost in preparing
the eou as soon as it is thoroughly set
tled and friable. It is absolutely nec
essary; in order to insure a good crop,
that peas, 'lettuce, radish, spinach,
turnips and onions should be sown just
as early in the spring as the ground
will admit. This spring especially so,
since it is late. In sowing peas, sow
earl-, medium, and late sorts, all at
one time. In this way, get a succes
sion, and have each early. Daniel
O'Bourke, although old, is still one of
the best early peas; and Champion of
iiUglana, tne very best medium early
pea. For late peas, and for the gen
eral crop, the large Marrowfat is hardy
and as good as any.
One of the mistakes made by" kitch
en gardeners is in supposing that beets
and carrots must not be town until
about corn-planting time, and that
dwarf peas must not be planted until
about the 1st of June. As to beets
and carrots,- those wanted for the early
crop should be sown as soon as lettuce
aBcrradishnf possible. Thus you may,
get nice roots for .the table in June.
The early blood turnip beet is a good
one, and the French short-horn carrot
is the best earlv carrot
There arefew better greens than beet
tops, and in thinnme the crop always
save them. They will come in imme
diately after spinach is eone. There
fore sow thick!)'; you are thus sure of
a good stand, and those thinned out are
good for the pot. The same rule will
apply to all garden Beeds; bow thick
and thin quick is a good rule. You
must weed at any .rate, and while
weeding it is but little more trouble to
thin the plants than simply to weed
them.
Salsifr. or "vegetable ovsters." is
another root that should be cultivated
in every garden. They are not much
like oysters, it is true, even in flavor,
but they make a very nice dish, cooked
in any of the simple ways usual. They
require rich sou ana the whole season
to grow in, and in a dry soil will stand
any winter without covering. Most
people leave them in the ground du
ring the winter, but it is better to dig
them in the fall and pack them in sand
in the cellar. Thus you may have
them in their proper season) the winter.
A few may be left in the ground to be
dug in jthe spring; if so. after thorough
ly being frozen, they should be thickly
covered with mulch, and uncovered to
thaw in the spring as you want them.
The same rule will apply to parsnips.
Sow salsify as early as possible. The
earlier sown, the better the crop, usu
ally. For winter use, carrots and beets
should not be sown until about the 1st
of June, and even the last will often
give a good crop. They do not make
such large roots, it is true, but large
enough for culinary use. You want
them tender and succulent, and thus
you may have them so. Long dark
blood beets and orange carrots are best
Parsnips should be sown about the
first to the middle of May. They
want the whole season to grow in. The
hollow-crowned variety is smooth,
Ion? and excellent Sweedish turnins
will givea good crop sown the last of
May. If you wait a month later, very
likely they will either be eaten by the
fly or else be burned up, or both, be
fore they get root With flat turnips
for winter use, you must take your
chances. Sow the latter part of J uly,
and continue to bow at intervals until
the middle of August.
We all like beans, but it is not every
one who "knows beans." Don't wait
too long before you plant brush beans
for the first crop. Plant some as early
as the ground is in condition, or about
the time you- would plant your first
crop of corn. Suppose the frost does
kill the first planting of beans; suppose
the frost nips your first planting of corn;
you are then as ready to replant as
your wait-awhile neighbors, if it does
not, you are ahead. The mere plant
ing is not much, and the second costs
but little. The frost will not kill more
than one year out of three.-
Driving Fence Peats.
A neighbor told me how to make a
board fence rapidly and cheaply last
year. He and his hired man went to
the field where the fence posts, with
ends slightly sharpened, were lying
along the line of the proposed fence.
One man stood on a platform two and
a half Jeet high, and with a heavy
mallet drove the posts as the other
held them in position. Eighty posts
were thus put down three feet deep
one afternoon. The ground was free
from large stones, and the time selec
ted was just after the frost had left the
ground m the spring. The posts were
white oak. and did not split by being
driven. The ground was so soft that
severe pounding was not necessary,
and doubtless softer wood might have
been used. The fence stood firmer
than where holes had been dug and the
posts regularly set
It is possible this method could be
adopted on soils where there are 6tones
by working a crow-bar down through
the soft earth to the required depth,
shoving aside the stones before the
post is driven down. Two stakes
driven down Bide by side, with room
for jails between, and wired at the top,
make an excellent and cheap tempora
ry fence; and a post driven or set three
feet, with a stake beside it and wired
to it to hold the rails, make a fence
both cheap and durable; by driving
the stake into the ground twelve or
fifteen inches. Only one wire will be
needed, and that at or near the top.
Such a fence takes little room, and
by using old rails need cost but little
monej It is 'less liable to sag than
the ordinary board-fence made in the
usual way. Or. New York Timet.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Cream Pie. Bake your pastry,
take thick, sweet cream, beat to a stiff
froth, sweeten, and flavor if desired;
pour on the crust, cut thin slices of ap
ple jelly and place over the cream in
ihc pies. It is then ready for use.
Savory Dish. Melt a quarter of a
pound of good cheese in the oven; when
sufficiently melted, add one egg' and a
wine-glass of milk, beat together till
it resembles a. custard. Bake in a
hot oven a light brown.
To Make Gikoer Loaf. To four
pounds of dough add one pound of raw
sugar, half a pound of butter, one
ounce and a half of caraway seeds, one
ounce and a halt of ground ginger.
Bake in the usual way. It very much
resembles Scotch hot cross buns. It
makes a very nice cake, either for tea
or lunch.
Castle Pudding. Two eggs, one
quarter pound of sugar, one quarter
pound of butter, one quarter pound of
flour; beat butter to a cream, and su
gar finely pounded, then add eggs and
flour. Bake three quarters of an hour
in a moderate oven, and in small cups;
when done, turn on a flat dish and
cover with thick white sauce flavored
with wine or essence.
Crackkiis. Butter, one cup; salt,
one teaspoonful; flour, two quarts
rub thoroughly together with the hand,
and wet through with cold water; beat
well in flour to make brittle and hard;
then pinch off pieces and roll out each
cracker by itself, if you wish them to
resemble bakers' crackers. Sugar
Crackers: Flour, four pounds; loaf
sugar and butter, of each, half a pound;
water, one pint and a half; make as
above.
Aitles in Imitation of Ginger.
To three pounds of very hard apples,
take two pounds of loaf 'sugar, and a
quarter of a pound of best white sin
ger. Put these in layers (haying first
sliced the apples m eight pieces and
cored them) alternately in a wide
mouthed jar. Next day infuse an
ounce of white ginger, well bruised, in
about a pint of boiling water; let it
stand till the next day. Then put in
the apples that have been two. days in
the ginger. Simmer slowly until the
apples look clear. Take great care
not to break the pieces.
Hints on Tea Making. If the tea
is desired to be of good flavor, be care-
iui noi io maice it in a tea-pot wnicn
has been long out of use without hav
ing previously washed it out with
boilintr water. This is done to remove
any slight moldiness which may be
present in the vessel without being ob
served, and which would impart a dis
agreeable taste to the tea when made.
Always keep the tea in a proper-can is
ter,protectea from the atmosphere and
damp, otherwise it will lose the pleas
ant scent peculiar to good tea, and when
used give the beverage an unpleasant
navor. in making tea always nil up
the tea-pot at once. By this means
the whole of the theine which is the
vegetable principle on which the pe
culiar effects produced by tea depends
is extracted at once. This will be
found much' superior to the plan some
times adopted of wetting the tea with
a small quantity of water, and then al
low it to stand before filling the tea
pot. For the purpose of extracting
the whole theine, the water should be
allowed to remain in the tea for at least
ten minutes before pouring it out Be
also careful that the water employed
for making tea is boiling before filling
the tea-pot, otherwise the whole of the
theine will not be extracted by the fluid,
and the tea employed would not go as
far as it otherwise would.
Freckles. A simple remedy for
removing freckles is a pint of sour
milk and a small quantity of horse-radish.
Let the mixture stand over night
and use it as a wash three times a day
until the freckles disappear.
Sick Headache. Two teaspoon
fuls of finely powdered charcoal, drank
in a half tummer of water, will often
give relief to the sick headache when
caused, as in most cases it is, by a su
perabundance of acid on the stomach.
Stew Pans. A great mistake is
made in American kitchens in not
using the tin-lined copper stew-pan in
stead of the porcelain-lined, which
burns far more readily and is not at all
durable. No danger may be appre
hended from the copper, as the tin can
always be replaced at slight expense.
Swallowing Com.-lf a child swal
lows a coin need danger be feared, and
should physic be given? Ana. Gen
erally when a coin is swallowed there is
little or no danger. If it happens to
be a bronze, then there may be chem
ical changes that will cause copper
poisoning; otherwise, do not worry,
for what will pass into the stomach
will pass through. Avoid physic, it
empties the bowels when they should
be kept full by coarse food as coarse
bread, or something to distend and en
large the digestive tube.
Cheap Blacking. A correspond
ent of the Vermont Farmer vouches for
the value of blacking made in the fol
lowing manner: Fill a bottlehalf full
of nails or rusty bits of iron; then fill
with sharp vinegar; shake every few
days for a while; in a few weeks it will
be ready for use. It improves with
age. When used down fill again with
vinegar. When boots become red, wet
in the blacking and oil them; they will
look as good as new. The oil sets the
color; it will neither rub nor wash off
It is good for all kinds of leather, will
not injure in the least
A piece of alum as big as a hickory
nut will render elear a pail of muddy
water. Dissolve thenllum, stir and
allow the impurities to settle.
When a child's ear becomes painful,
as it so often does; everything should
be done to soothe it, and all strong, ir
ritating applications should be avoided,
Pieces of hot onion or fig should not bo
put in; but warm flannels should be
applied with poppy-fomentation, if the
pain doos not subside. How much
children suffer from their ears unpit
ted because unkown it would proba
bly wring the hearts of those who love
them suddenly to discover. It is often
very hard, even for medical men, to'
ascertain that the cause of a young
child's distress is seated in the ear, ana
frequently a discharge from it, with a
cessation of pain, first reveals the se
cret of a mysterious attack, which has
really been an inflammation of tho
drum: The watchfulness of a parent,
however, would probably suffice to de
tect the cause of suffering if directed to
this point as well as to others. If chil
dren cry habitually when their ears
are washed, that should not be neglec
ted; there is, most likely, some cause
of pain. Many membranes are de
stroyed from the discharges which
take place during "teething." When
ever there is a discharge of matter
from the ear, it would be right to pour
in warm water night and morning, and
so at least to try to keep it clean.

THE ALDINK
THE ART JOURNAL OJ AMERICA, ' ,
issnsvojrrBLT..
A MAQNIPICANT CONCEPTION TTOUt'
' DERFULLY CARRIED OUT.
The necessity of a popular raediam for th
representation of the productions of our peal
artists baa always been recognised, and many
attempts have been made to amttha wast
The sneeeasive failures which have so rnvarfaily;
followed each attempt in this country to astakr
lish an art Journal, did not prove the indiSW
enoe of tho people of America to the etaias of
high art. So soon as a proper appreciation of
the want and aa ability to- saeet it were shows,
the pablio at one rallied with, enthusiasm to
its support, and the result was a rreat niatier
and commercial triumph THE ALDINZ.
The Aldine while Usosd with all of the rags-,
larity, has none of th temporary or timely la
tere! ts characteristic of ordinary periodical
It is an elegant miscellany of pen, light, ad
graceful literature, and a collection of pictures,
the rarest collection of artistic skill, fa black
and white. Altbouga each; tueeeetHag aoaber
affords a fresh pleasure to Us frieads, the real
value and beauty ot The Aldine wU) ha most'
appreciated after it is bound up at the dose oi

superior cheapness, as compared, with rivals of
a similar class, Th Aldine is a unique and
original conception alone aad untpproached
absolutely without competition, in price or,
character.. The possessor ef a eomplet vol
ume cannot duplicate the quantity of fin pa-'

The national feature of Th Aldae most b
taken in no narrow sense.. Tra art la sosao
politan. While Th Aldia is a strictly Ameri
ran Institution, it does not eonfin itself to th
peproduction of naHv art. Its aUiiotrU'l
ealtivat a broad aad appreciative art taste, on
that will discriminate va .grounds of intrinsic
merit. Thus, while pleading before the patrons
of The Aldine, aa a leading characteristic, th
productions of the most noted American artists,
attention will always b given to speolmeaa
front foreign masters, giving suhMrrbers all th
pleasure and Instruction obtainable from home
or foreign swerees.
The artistic illustration of American scenery,
original with The Aldine is an important fea
ture, and Its magnificent plates are of a ait
more appropriate to th satistaetory treatmaal
of details than can be afforded by aay Inferior
page. The judicious interspersion ef fandteape,
marine, Ignre aad animal snbjeeta, swtaln'an
unabated interest, impossible when th scop
ot th work confines the "artist too eloeery to a
single style of subject. The literature ef Th
Aldine Is a light and graceful aeoomvasslsaeat,
worthy of the artistic features, with only sues,
technical disquisitions as do not Interfere with,
the popular interest of th work. t ' '
