AGRICULTURAL HOW TO GROW RAPE. • Nb otlag plan.t an recent years has come so rapidly intilo notice wa rape, and none will give more aind better eiteak toed fox Care hieStowed, written T. S.

A cause et disappointment to many who have tried to grow rave, aiad w'hi/eih has done Mutat to diseourage it growth, has been the buying oft bilrd rape, an an- nual worthless as steak toad. Those intending to e,o'vv 'rape salcield use great care in getting the genuine Dwarf, Le- ese. Althougli this is called dvvart it will often on gtood land, grow three Or more feet tallt. If three tor four POklifida Of seed be sotvex pew were on oat, barley or spring wheat lana bn,- mediately following the drill or hare row it will "struggle" alcoag in the bottom of the groveling' grade, and as seat as the cave ie taken off it will, grow rapidly. In two or Ceres weeks it will be kagle eseautgla1 to pasture and will give an immense amouut of good food foe sheep, hetes or young cattle. It will be jest the place in which to tare the young lambs to be weaned. Every coin field &wad at the last cultivation be 'sown with two or three Poutads of rape seed per acre. It will not injure the corn, and When that is harvested the rape will come on and furnish splendid food foe any stock. Even where the born is not cut, if the bottom was filled with growing rape, the shook Wheel turned in the stand- ing stalks 'mead land plenty of sue- culent food end be in no danger of injury from an exclusive diet of dry cora stalks. Besides the large amount of feed which it gives, rape grows so rapidly and forms such u dense shade as to smoth- er out ell tweets, and even where its feeding value is not desired it will pay to sow it for the large amount of humus that it will add to the soil. Rape may be omen at any time, from very early to the middle of Angust, and give paying weturns in food furnish- ed. But for a main crop the best way I have ever raised it is to plow the field early, &boa the time for corn. Then once in about ten days go over it with a cultivator or harrow un- til time te sow rutabagas, which is about Jame 15th. The rape should then be sown, two pounds of seed to th,e stare, ha drills twenty-seven to thirty inches apart. The object of this course is to induce all the weed seeds possible to gerrnitnase so as to !destroy the weeds. After the rape has come up give it one thorough cultivating and it will take care ot. itself. Same advo- cate sowing it broadcast On land fit- ted. as above, but I find that steak do saot like that near as well as when drilled, nor will it make near as large a crop per acre. lin six weekafter sowing as above it will be. lerg enough to feed, and It may be cut and given to the 'stook on a pasture, or wane is less teteuale, the stock may be allowed to go into the field and help themselves." Ruminating animals, es- pecially sheep, should never at first be turned epee it !Waite wet, either by dew or ram, nor Edmund they be turn' ed in with empty sea:nada% as it woad be sure to bloat them. The best way is to turn them in a dry afternoon, from another pastime on to the rape for ahout one hour. The next after- noon it dry they may be turned in for good, with no danger. Sheep, especially Iambs, should never be confined to a. rape field, but should have an old sum- mer pasture where they oain run at will and graze the dry grass. They should also have at supply of salt where they can at it when they litre, or at Least he salted two or three times a week. It will also pay to feed them a Little evbeet or rye 'bran every day ; the rape is very stet:culotte and loosen - lag, and the acre% to the old pesters and giving of dry feed wilt dounter, act all such tendency. Where lambs have free passage between an old pas-. tuee and rape, field they will go into the rape field and eat their fill from One side and go back into the pasture to lie down or graze, and will not run all over the rape field. I have seen them eat the rape gleam as far as they had gene and never go two rods beyond. A bunch of lambs may be turned into a rape field by the first of August and in four months gain fifty pounds end make the rape pay more than a12 or 516 per acre. Bat this is not the best of it That field the fol- lowing year will be SUSS to grow the best crop in yeara and not only thie, but the kneels in th,e dey posture will show the good effects of manure de- posited there by the lambs. Ma our widetawake, theughtful farmers will gnaw more rape. • A CONVENIENT TURJihY SHED. Any one who has ever hatl any prate- tkal experience in' raising meats does net need to be told of the importance of keeping them ere. With the pos- sible exception of lice, it is quite rea- atonable to assume that more young turkeys lose, thole lives on account af damp ,ceigatere Mee from any other cease. It is of the utmost importence that mutts should be kept flree from moisture. HOW one goes at it doesn't matter, an long as the desired end is accomplished. The moot common' melatiod of haus- img young turkeas during the, trying perloa of thole life its to &met a tem- poevey shelter in nee corner of their run by prepping up an old door or two or several old boards in seth a way as to snore or lees breafte the wind and storms, We heve resorted to this meth- od with different success.

A shed, 3x4 feet is gaite large enough, although one 4x4 in some in- stances might prove better. As a gen- eral thing the former size will be fourad (mite sufficient. The shed can be built with a shed andf at a he•igiht of 18 inches in the xear and. about 2 1-2 feet in front. A small doorway should be put an the front with a fair- ly doer to be closed at night or during stormy weather. The batter place few a door its at one side, The remaining front ohould be enolos- ed by putting a 12 or 16 -inch booed at the bottom and covering the upper portion with wire netting to give free ventilation. If this opening is errang- ed so that it can be aimed by a trap- door ‘auxiina a driving stories, it will doubtless prove of great assistance.

Tlate latter is in iteelit something that cannot well be -under- estimated.

SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEKEEPERS, Hot alum water applied to the shelves in the pantry with a brush is reported to be fatal to insects. It is used for washing floors and bedsteads also. The vexy best disinfectant and de- odorizer knovin is hot reveres water. Two-thixds of a cupful dissolved in a pail of water and turned down drain pipes and any °tiler receptacle of waste matter will sweeten and parity them, If tae drain pipes get stopped up so that the water rues off slowly, dissolve potash in hot water and turn it down them. It will eat out the grease. Anybody' who covets the hardwood floors of the city mansions and thinks sbe'd have "a snap" in avoiding use of Mae broom and duster is hereby inform- ed to the contrary. Uatess it is kept in good order a hardwood floor shows dirt and dust even more then a carpet and Pt. la no joke to keep it in order. Once a month it must be polished with beeswax and turpentine applied with liberal use of elbow grease. It must be dusted with a. (sloth every day and washed once a week with hot suds made from castite soap into which linseed oil has been added in the proportion of a tablespoonful of oil to a quart of suds, and rubbed dry with a soft cloth. When the mistress is her own maid she needn't be sorry if sbe has no hard- wood floors to look after. ABOUT SUMMER DRESSES. Ribbons in plain colors, eitlier satin or taffeta, are a good investment if they chance to be among the bargains, for Were. is every pros ect that they will be very maul used In trimming our summer gowns, and two shades of one color are the special fad just at present. It is an easy matter to imagine how effective this harmony of color will be on dainty tain dresses, especially white; and on colored organdies, white ribbon combined with a color will make a pretty variety. Among other sugges- tions for summer gowns is the fancy for tiny tucks and those who desire to make up their thin gowns now can • safely Make use of this fashion without any fear of getting in too many, espe- e, cially on the bodice and sleeves, which a are both tucked round or up and down in me; wring out; put carefully into shape;, hang lengthwise on the line and in the shade. SOME GOOD RECIPES. Waffles—Quickly Made.—For quick waff:es place in a medium-sized bowl one cup of bolted rice, mix with it the beaten yolks of three eggs, one pint of milk, one scant tablespoonful of lard and one of butter, melted together. Two tempoonfulo of baking powder in en - flour to make a tbin batter, one tea- spoonful of salt. ,Bake in a waffle iron and serve at once. Honey Biscults.—These are very tasty and are not at all difficult to make. Take three-quarters of a pound of dried and sifted flour, six ounces of honey, quarter of a pound of castem sugar, two ounces of citron, and ha -if an ounce of orange peel cut small. Melt the sugar and, honey and mix in gradu- ally the other ingredients. Roll out the paste, and cat into small cakes of a leng shape. groups or otherwise. Groups of three or five Woks across with a frill of narrow Valenciennes on the edge of one is not a new method of making thin waists, but it is very pretty, and wiil be good style in the coming season. The tucks must be very fine in the widths used in underwear, BUTTON -HOLES AND LOOPS. Button -holes in fraying goods should be bound with narrow braid, to match, the garment, or a small cord basted around the hole and the silk worked over this. An undeefaeng of coarse canvas will also be found. a great help. Hooks and loops are more often used nowadays than hooks and eyes. When using the former the hooks are sewed in place first, a email size being used, , and then the ,00ps are made afterward, by taking a double stitch where the hook would fasten, and then working it with a buttoreba:e stitch, making one or two tiny cross stitches at the end to give it strength. ;When hooks and eyes are used, they should be sewed on etternately, down both sides of the front, first a hook and then an eye. When the hooks are all put on one side and tal the eyes on the other they tare forever coming unfastened. The hooks could be sewed on e quarter of an bleb in from the edge, and, the eyes so that they are just even with the edge. Both becks and, eyes should have their eyelets inserted between the material and the facing, and the rough edges of both fab- rics turned in and blind -stitched to. gather. BE WISELY ECONOMICAL AND Don't leave the tea canister open. Don't throw away scraps of meat. Don't leave soap to dissolve and waste in, the water. Don't allow apples to decay for want of sorting over. • Don't spill tea, coffee, sugar and rice by careless handling. Don't leave vinegar and settee stand- ing in tin or iron, Don't forget to bang up brooms and mops after each tieing. CURING MEATS. For pork make a sweet pickle with about 9 pounds rock salt, 2 pounds brown sugar, and 1-2 ounce of saultpet- re to each 100 pounds. For sausage to each 10 pounds of the meat cut fine, use 1 pound of salt, 4 ounces of pepper, 1-2 ounce each of sage and of anise. Then keep in a cool place or cook, not too hard, pack in crocks and cover with melted lard and aue it out as required for use. Mock Duck—This proves a very ac- ceptable dish, now that game and poul- try are becoming scarce. Take the re- mains of a cold shoulder of mutton, cut it into pieces of a convenient size, tak- ing away all the fat. Stew the bones for gravy with two or three onions and a teaspoonful of powdered sage for two hours. Then strain the gravy, thicken it with browned flour, and season to te Add a little orcester sauce and a teaspoonful of vinegar, place the meat in this, and simmer very slowly for an hour. Serve with boiled dried green peas and potatoes. Browned Turnips.—Pere turnips, cut in slices, put into a sauce pan, cover with boiling water and pet over the fire to boil till tender. Take up, drain, put some butter into a frying -pan and let it get hot, lay the slices in carefully, turn them over when brown, sprinkle a. little sugar on each slice before turn- ing, and when done dust' with salt and pepper and serve on a bot dish. Try this some day when you are tired of mashed, turnips. Stewed Carrots.—Wash and scrape the carrots and boll till perfectly tender. Then cat them into pieces like dice, put them into a sauce -pan with a little soap stock season with sett and pepper, add a teaspoonful of vinegar and half as much sugar and let them stew slow- ly for an hour. If you are fond of onion flavoring, cock an onion with the car- rots in the first water. Hume Made Yeast.—A formula for yeast that has been well tested calls for six medium-sized potatoes, one cup of fresth, good hops, a. pint of flour, one cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of flour, sifted., one cup of sugar, one tablespoon- ful of flour and two quarts of boiling water. Boll the potatoes and, mash them. Boil the hops for half an hoer in two quarts of water, tying them in a muslin bag, of course. Kix the flour, sugar and salt, and stir it into the boiling hop water, after removing the hops. Dip enough of the liquid into the mashed potatoes to alba them so they will pour, then put enough through a sieve to take out the bumps. When cool, but not cold, add a cup of yeast or one assayed yeast cake. Set to rise in a warm place and stir down two or three times at as many hours, Keep in bottles or glass cans, aOAP.—Phis recipe does not require snore than half an hoer of your time, and makes a geed kitchen as well as toilet soap; 6 lbe, of drippings (any kind); 1 can of Babbate lyt 1 table- spoonful of any kind of washing powder; 1 talliespoontul of borax.

THEY SNEER AT HIS GIFTS, BRITISH PUBLIC DOES NOT LIKE HOOLEY'S, CHARITY. ououy laves Away Thillons--Nialtes Roney Faster Even Than sarney Barns' to, and Has Money Mitlfinfloil.. The abuse of Ernest Terali Healey, London's newest millionaire, continues taring throughout England. His latest seneational contribution to chatity is the peg on which they are just now hanging all the anpleasant things they are saying about him'. The Prince of Wales suggested that the sixtieth anniversary of Queen Vic- pria's accession to the throne would be,St be celebrated by the devotion of sums of money by the rich towards the relief of those of the Queen's subjects whoare in want nad misery- Mr. Boo - Icy, who makes millions while other people are making pounds, acted upon the suggestion. He gave outright the sum of $2,000,000, the income of which is to be distributed to the aged poor, the widows and the infirm of that part of Derbyshire with which Mr. Hooley is most identified, The money is distrib- uted, to towns in proportion to their DePallation. A t MD, of 10,000 inhabi- tants will get $5,000 per year, while a, village of 3,000 populatioa will get $1,500, and so on. The 'beneficie,rie,s do not receive the money outright, but in the form of ordere far supplies up- on distributing stores, the ceders be- ing issued by a COallitaT.EE OF TWELVE, in each district, tae twelve being made up of men of ail ehades of creed and opinion. Not long ago Mr. Healey gave St. Paul's Cathedral, Louden, a sacramen- tal service of pure gold, and at that there was a great outcry and much ridicule, just as there is new over the $2,000,000 charity gift. Mr. Boaley is amused of "nutting a premium on idleness," "fiddling for popularity," "Fishing for royal recognition." in the farm of a title, and so through the whole carping gamut. Mr. Healers offense seems to be two- fold. He has made money 60 fast that he has bewildered even Barney Bar- nette He buys things that cost a mil- lion or more as calmly as another man buys a cigar. Then again, among the things he has bought are a number historic estates belonging to money - Poor aristocracy. Among the estates he line bought are those of Lord Ash- burton Lord Churchill, the Countess of Warwick and Lord Sudleya, great property at Teditngten, which had been in the family sincethe .Norma.n conquest.
