Present indications aro tliat hay will bring a high prioo for tho noxt twolveuiouth. The cold wcnther of May brought about conditions which wore not overcome later. Much foul stnff camo iuto tho nieadows, so tliat tliere is far less timothy of flrst class quality on tho mnrket tlian usual. Then, tho floods of July made the work of gathering the crop decided ly backwanl. Much hay ripened be foro it could bo out, aud. when it was cut it was not as good as corumon. It stauds us in Iiand to use our hay crop judicionsly this year. Xot many of us can afford to sell any. In fact, houo of us ever ought to sell hay off oir farins. It is tho surest way to cauto our land to deteiiornto. THE POULTRY YARD. When the fowJs aro on the range thoy seem to bo eating during tho whole day and the supposition is tlmt they get moro than they shonld. It is true that they can secure morejthan enough on a range when everything is growing, but thoy also expaud a great deal of energy in so doiug. On tho range the hens get a little at a time, perhaps a worm here a seed there, or somo delicacy in the shapo of green food somewhere else, but they are ever moving from place to place and are as busy as possible. It is a differeut matter when they are fed by the owner. Ho throws down the food aud they fill their crop full at ouce. Having done so they aro satisfled and do not scratch. Thero is a lesson to leam from the natural modo of feeding by the hens. Give them their food iu small quantities if they must be fed and not all at once. When tho crop is overloaded too much is passed into the gizzard to be tritur ated and the digestive organs are over taxed, but when tho food is eaten gradually aud slowly tho digestive process is also gradual and tho system is invigorated by tho exorcise of secur ing the food. Tho study of how best to feed will assist in avoiding mis takes and enable ono to feed at tho lowest cost. "Boauty Is Only Skln Deop." says the old saw. The saw lies. Beauty is as deop as the stomach, the liver, tho kiduoys, the blood in the body. Look at tho bad comploxions of all men aud most women. Let tho ladies leavo off paints and powders and use gentle doses of the new med icine, Calcura Solvent, to make tho blood pure, tho health good.

In the summor of 185T Mr. Lincoln was sitting iu his ofiice when ho was visited by ono of his noighbors, an excellent farmor, but oue iticlined to inorease tho bizo of his crops ovon af ter harvesting. Ho had given ou this particular morniug a skillf ully padded accouut of tho hay he had put in. "I've been cuttiug hay, too," re inarkod Mr. Lincoln. "Why, Abo, are you farming?" "Yes." "What you raiso?" "Just hay." "Good crop this year?" "Excellent." "Ilow many toiis?" "Woll, I don't kuow. just how maiiy tons, Simpson, but my men stacked all they could out doors aud then storod tho rest in tho barn. " Youth's Companion. How's This?

The departmcut of agrioultnro finds time aud opportuuity to cousider what mav. at flrst thonght. seem a trivial matter but uiwn a li ttle ro viowing it dovolops f eatures that af ter all may bo moro to tJio human raco than at flrst appears. Tho departmcut will study tho hab- its of tho pig, aud haviug carefully raised a litter of sucklings iu a clean yard and upon clean food, will open tho way to tho ordiuary stylo of pig pen to see if tho oroatures elect to re turn to tho coiiditiou of their auces- tors. It may bo argued that it will require more than the traiuing of ono gouoration to eliminate those quali tios supposed to be inherent in pigs! Howevor, it is true that when left to themselves iu flelds, as is douo in warmer couutries, they appear as cloanly as other animals. It is truo that they ilke to wallow in streams and, undoubtedly, under tho suu's hut rays they liko the cooluess of the stream, aud often wallow iu tho mud, which even to tho observer causes no offenso to tho sonses, liko tho wallowiug in tho usual liltli of tho pig pen. It is hoped that tho oxperiment meutioned will bring to tho notico of farmers tho fact that mud is not uec esary to the oxisteiico of swine. Tlio usual pig sty is not only a diseaso breediug nuisauce, but tho quality of tho pork must deteriorate undor such conditions aud feeding as exist amoug somo farmers. Human beings could not enduro it to livo 011 the fllth aud garbago usually fed to tho pig who must eat it or starve, and it is no wondor that Europo puts a high duty on meat that comos from a misused animal. Tho Burlington Humane society has recently recoived complaints of cruel- ty to cattlo and swine, among which is tho statemont that several swine aro kept in a pen m which 110 dry placo is provided for them, and con seqnently, thoy aro in tho miro up to thoir bodies all of tho time. This is, of courso, an oxceptionul caso, for most farmers provide a dry placo that may be occupied if tho animals prefor it. Novortholess au investigatiou of provailing conditions would probably revoal somo circumstances that could and should be mado botter, oven though not as tho man who, convino ed tho pigs needed mud baths, and clean onos, had an elaborato pig sty built with all tho anparatus for such purposo. Ho discont'inued his oxpori monts boforo carryiug thom to aii ox tont that would mako him an author ity 011 tho question. Ho roports, howovor, thoro was a satisfaction in eating cleau mcat. Roasonably comfortablo snrround ings for theso uselful animals must seem desirablo to any ono, and if only ono porson bo iuduced to atteud to what will mako them comfortablc,oth ors will follow and tho thought and oiVort givon will not bo wasted.

A housokcoper who is known for hor fluify breakfast muillns, which aro always as light as tho prov- orbiai teatiicr, uscs sour milk iu mak ing thom, but docrics tho oldtimo way of using it. According to trnditional proccsses, tho soda is mixed with tho sour milk bofore tho flour is addcd. This mothod, says tho housowifo in question, allows tho ctTorvesconco to bo over boforo tho ilour goos in. Her way is to mix with tho sour milk tho flour, salt aud sugar aud then to add tho soda rtlssolveu in a Httlo hot wa ter. By this means tho entlro mass rises. Tho last thing boforo tho bat ter is turnod into tho pans, a beaton ogg is foldcd in. This is hor rooipo : Two cnpfuls of flour, 0110 cupful of sour milk, a half teaspoonful of soda, ono teaspoonful of sugar, a half tea spoonful of salt and ono egg. Ghocolato icing on a cako ought to shino and not havo that dull appcar anco that is frequontly observed. Tho shiny oifoct is securod if a bit of but ter is addod to tho milk and sugar and moitcu cii.ocoiate that composo tho icing. At this seasou when tho thrifty housewife's fancy turns to thoughts of piokles, chow-chow, etc. , a fow suggestious nro oll'orod. Thoso rooi pes' liavo all been tested and fouud ox ccllont. Soak 100 small cucumbors (not over tlireo inches long) in a me dium strong brino tweuty four honrs; then riuso in cold wator. Heat threo quarts of good vinegar scaldiiig hot ; add one cup of sugar, oue tablespoon ful of colves, also of ciunamon (tied in at hin cloth), and a fow small red peppers. Put in the cucumbers and scald for twenty minutes ; then fill glass jars with them. My way for putting up green cu cumbers : Tako nieo even ones ; place them sido by side ; put down a layer of salt., then a layer of cucumbers, a layer of salt, then a layer of grape leaves. Don't put water in tlrom; they will make their own briue. Keep them uuder the brine. Slice oitrou aud soak in salt water over night. In the morniug riuso and put iii frcsh water. Uso 1 pound of sugar for 3 pounds of fruit and 1 quart of water for 3 pouuds of sugar. Let syrup como to a boil ; add citron and boil uutil syrup is thick as desired. Watennelou rinds can be uscu in the samo way and aro excellent. Ono quart of small pickles, 8 good- sized green tomatoes cut in small pieces, 1 good-sized head of cauli- llower pick'ed flue and 1 quart small onions ; boil onions and cauliflower iu salted wator till teuder; pickles and tomatoes soaked in a salt brine over night ; proparo 1 scaut tcacup of llower, 4 tablespoons mustard, 1 table spoon tumeric, 1 cup browu sugar ; tako enough vinegar to mix to a smooth batter, then put as much vin egar on tho stovo as you thinU will cover the pickles ; whon hot put in the mixture aud cook till doue ; wash the salt out of tho pickles and toma toes and put iu the mixture; also the cauliollwer aud onion, and stew up good. Brine the cucumbors a day and night. Allow 1 pound sugar to a quart ot vinegar, spiced to taste. Scald vinegar, sugar and spices to gether and pour over cucumbers. Seal in fruit cans. Of Coueral Interest. Prof,. G. S. Hall of Cla rk Univer- sity, says that tho hoine should bo ser- ved by every chiid, who should feol himsolf a useful and integral member of it, with duties. Every girl should cook, sew, clean, polish, and perhaps wash havo sometliiug to do with flowers, develop some domestic taste and pride, in place of the shamo so often felt by high school girls for their lowly homes, for which their education often breeds distaste. They should bo reminded that too soft hauds in tho young suggest a soft brain ; that hand aud brain both grow and aro educated togother. Tho kitch- eu is tho hoart of tho homo; its in dnstries, intelligontly nndorstood, are among tho most educatioual of all pos sible inttuences, aud to overcomo tho alienation school often breeds for lionie lifo in tho modern American girl is ono of our most sorions probkms.
