Radishes may be had in sneers
sten at all periods. Use plenty of
manure, and grow them quickly,
so as to have them crisp and tend-
er.
A tree that is making too much

greater growth in the branches next

ons are raised, as the bees carry
pollen from ono plant to the other.
The hoe may now bo used. with
advantage both on beets and carrots.
The spaces between the rows can
be cleared with a cultivator, but the
hoe shoul,t be used to eleau out

Young corn makes an excellent
green manurial Drop for plowing un-
der, but the seed is expensive. Sol'-
ghum may be used also, aud the
seed for a few acres will coat but
little, Sow it thielcly, and plow it
ander when the plants aro about
two feet high.
Allow the stock free access to
salt this weather, as it assists iu
counteracting the effects of a grass
diet. Should scours appear, keep
the stock up for a day or two, and
give each animal a warm bran
mash. Salt is necessary at all sea
sons, but more particularly in snm-
rner.
Do not plant asparagus roots too
close together. If given plenty of
room the roots will soon fill up the
vacant ewes, have greater feeding
capacity and produce larger stalks,
A liberal application of manure
should be used both in fall and
early spring on the beds.
Black knot on cherry trees may
lie eared by an application of hero
send oil on the limb affected, but
the work should be done oarefully,
as the oil may injure the tree. If
the disease has spread over sovetai
branches it Is best to out down the
tree rather than attempt to save it.
BnrTE AND BEEP.—Waldo F.
Brown, in a recent issue of the In-
diana Farmer, compares the relative
profits to be derived in raising beef
and producing butter thus : I think
I man prove that the food required
to make n pound of dressed beef
will make a pound of butter, The
average cattle of the country do not
gain 500 pounds a year, and there
are plenty of dairies that average
more than 250 pounds of butter to
the cow, and some that average 300
pounds. Now, the rule is two
pounds of live weight to ono pound
of beef, and the cow that makes 250
pounds of butter in a year produces
a weight equal to 500 pounds of
cattle live weight, and this weight
o! beef will bring, at $4 per cwt.,
$20, while the butter at 20o a
pound will bring $50 ; and all my
experience as a feeder and a dairy-
man goes to show that it is easier
to get 20e per pound for butter than
$4 per cwt. for beef. In other
worda 20e a pound for butter is
equal to $10 per cwt. live weight
for beef. Is it not better even Than
this ? Look at another fact ; The
farmer wlio would sell ten beeves a
year must beep on hand thirty ani-
mals—ten yearlings, ten two-year-
alds and the ten he prepares for
market, whilo the farmer with ten
good cows can keep them for ten
pare, or longer if he gives them the
care he ought. The income of the
dairyman will be regular, giving
him weekly cash to meet his expert.
sea, while the man who looks to his
beef cattle for his will wait a year
for it. To bo aura he will not have
so much milking and will not have
to churn, but to offset this, there
will be enough Immo from the
skim milk and buttermilk to pay
for this labor, If wisely fed in eon-
'neetion with other food, each 10 to
15 pounds of milk will make a
pound of pork, and after raising the
heifer calves you can make several
dollars' worth of pork to the cow
before the year ie ant. I believe i
have made a fair statement, but even
if you .reduce iho butter to 200
pounds per cow there is still a good
margin of profit when compared
with beef at $4 per owl. I have
put the price of butter at 20 cents,
but there is no need of eolling 11 for
that if you make a first-class article
Haid if—as I believe you can—you
get 25 cents or more, all the better,

.� PANTHER'S EMBRACE,
Terrible Experience tar at Han in India.
Short savage roars broke upon
my oar, mingled with the wild
shouts of the natives, who were evi-
dently being chased by the now
furious beast. At this crisis I
felt that nay hat would probably do
more for than my gun, so I
crushed the former on to my !lead,
and, wit1)out waitiug to adjust the
chin -strap, I seized the latter in my
hands and faced the enemy. The
panther find meanwhile floored a
beater and got him by the arm, but,
dropping him, she at once Dame for
me with lightning bounds. I could
see nothing owing to the beast's
tremeudous speed, but a shadowy -
looking form with two large bright
round eyes fixed Upon me with nn
unmeaning stare as it literally flew
toward me. Such was the vision
of a moment 1 My presence of
mind did not desert me. I raised
my gun and fired with all the care
I could at such short notice. But 1
missed, and the panther landed
light es a feather with its arms
around my shoulders. Thus we
stood for a few seconds, and I die.
dinotly felt the animal sniffing for
my throat.
Mechanically, I always turned
my head so as to keep the thick,
wadded curtain of my helmet cover
in front of the creature's muzzle ;
but still I could hear and feel plain•
ly the rapid, yet cautious, efforts it
was making to find an opening, so
as to tear open the jugular Immo. I
had no other weapon but my gnu,
which was useless with the animal
closely embracing me, so I stood
perfectly still, well knowing that
Sandford would liberate me if it
were possible to do so. At the first
onslaught we were so placed that
he could only have bit the panther
by firing through me, which would
have been very injudicious, to say
the least of it. As may naturally
be supposed, the animal did not
spend meat time in investigating
the nature of a wadded hat cover,
and before my friend could, get
around and take aim without jeop•
ardizing my own life the beast
pounced on my left elbaw, taking a
piece out, and then buried its long,
sharp fangs into the joint until they i
met. At the same time I wee
hurled to the earth with such force
that I knew not how I got there or
what because of my gun.

The fragrant pillows aro a com-
fort, if only they are not covered
with so much finery that one can-
not use them. White covers that
admit of being washed are the most
satisfactory. Sweet 10.nls, pine
needles or hops are agreeable.
In washing clothes it is well to
remember that too mnuh bluing
renders clothes yellow after a time.
Inexperienced or careless servants
think the roore bluing in the w1110r
the better for the wash, and it is n
difficult matter to convince them
that the clothes will look far butter

pose. A. tear is not so easily re,

edges iu button -hole stitch, then
draw these stitches together in the
center, working over and over. If
this is done neatly the tear will

After taking your white clothes

washing, as the suds are sufficient.
You will bo surprised to find the
