A susa As the" v I law. n, as trees sill e R p deep furrow and heel them in, prepar- atory to. planting, deepen the furrow to 15 inches with a spade, cut the twine which holds •the bundle together, spread out in th'e trench and cover with dirt, After all the trees are in, wet the roots thoroughly,. They can safely stay here until the. land is in proper order for planting says a writer. ' I pla,nG my trees in rows 32 ft apart' and 1& ft apart in the row, making 80' trees per acre. The rows rim north and south. Well drained land is essential to a good oroberd. T plow north and south where I with the rows of trees to stand, plowing as deeply as possible and,' having the dead furrow come 'Where a row of trees is to stand. Plow up the bottom of the dead .furrow.; stirring as deeply as possible, then by back furrowing make a ridge on which to set the trees. IV'hen the land 4s properly staked, swop o'uit a large deep hole where the tree' is to stand and plane some good soil in the bottom, having it highest at tbe center. Never bend the roots. Cut back bruised or broken roots to sound wood. Plant two inches deep er than the trees were in the nursery; Lean considerably toward the two o'clock sun, with the lowest and heave, est branches on the southwest side. Plant when the soil will powder and pack it very carefully about the roots. Use the best surface soil for filling in. Nevar let pure . manure come -in contact with, the' roots, but place it an top of the ground. 'When' the hole is three-fourths filled, wet with four or five gallons of water and after the water has disappeared finish filling in. Stakingis never needed ii trees are well planted. Mulch trees with coarse manure or sitraw six inches or more in depth. Do not: let grass or weeds grow in the orchard. Thorough' cultivation eight or nine times in a season is a great factor in growing a successful ore chard. Cornstalks out two feet long and tied about the base of the tree are almost a complete protection, atgainpt borers, mice, rabbits and sun - scald. I plant the wide space between the trees to some kind of a t'ropt leaying plenty of room for cultivating the trees and fertilizing them. It is better to plant no trees at all than poor varieties or to plant good varie- ties and neglect to care for them. STRAwRERRIES. When the plants are put out they' should he kept free from; weeds. and the ground should be kept loose about them. If the plants are strong, put but one to form the, stools: if weal, two. They should be planted in sep- arate halls, or rows, two to threes feet apart, and a foot apart in the rows. The proper soil is light, warm and! gravelly; and the manure to be applied' should be other than animal manure. The usual practise is to manure the ground with rotten dung, with a view to ialorease the size and quantity of fruit; but in doing this, the flavor of the fruit is destroyed in proportion' to tbe richness of the soil. Besides, this form of high manuring, produces) strong vines and little fruit. Rotten leaves, decayed wood, fermented peat, ashes, in small quantity. mixed with) other vegetable substances in a com- post beep, will make better manure for strawberries than any animal substance whatever. As the vines which bear strawberries require groat moisture from the time id blossoming to bring the fruit to its proper size, the soil and situation in which they are placed must not be too dry. The composition of the ash of the strawberry -is as follows: Potash, 21.06; soda, 28.48; lime, 14.20 ; magnesia— 1 oxide of iron, 5.89; phosphoric acid, 13.82; silica, 3.05 ; sulphuric acid, 3.15, chlorine, 1.60. Per cent of ash in. fruit, 5.2. Tbe foliage and stems contain on the '. average, five times as much) of the' various elements as the fruit alone but as these are not for market, the farm suffers no export hut that o8 the fruit, GETTING RID OF WILD OATS. This plant after it once becomes well established is somewhat difficult to' get rid of. It is, however, an annual, and, if prevented from seeding for a feta, years, and measures adopted to induce the germination of seeds that are already in the ground, it will soon disappear. Possibly the best method is of seeding the land to field oats in spring. then as soon as the crop of grain bas been removed, plough to a depth of three or four. inches. Just as soon as the wild oats have well started, go over the ground with - some shallow -going instrument, such. as a small -toothed ,cultivator.+ This will kill the plants already' growing and bring to the surfa.cs seeds that' have not already sprouted. These will germinate, and before the plants are old enough, to mature seed they will be killed by frost. 'In autumn seed the land to winter grain, ifi this can be 'grown, and after harvest, the follow- ing'. season plough the ground, and give the same treatment as recom- mended for the oat fields: Two years' treatment of this kind, if carefullel Performed, will kill almost any annual. -- CARE OF GRAPEVINES. Europeatr methods of pruning grape- vines—keeping them short and the stock a mere stump—are not adapted for our freer -growing varieties. '.(here is, however, a wide range in the train- sing, from cowering a large arbor to a trellis of only eight or ten feet. The main point is to have fresh, bearing wood each year, while not checking the general growth too much. If the vines are . young, with established terms, the bearinig .canes are cut back each year to a bud or two, new shoots trained to a desired height. but not out back; simply p]uehed three or four leaves above the fruit wben set. ,Or they mayhe allowed to grow along e top, p, ftrellis, ' ela,to li avoid the forcingof later - els below. On large arbors, with: es- tablished vines, the pruning in more intricate, but the 'principle is the same. Never cut away the leaves; the lungs and stomach or.they are a the plant. The grapes need the sun, not directly, but through the leaves, '1, and ripen far better in tbei.r shade than if they are pulled off. PURE .KEROSENE FOR SPRAYING. Prof. Smith calls attention to the fact that if properly used, pure kero- sene may be applied to apples, pears, quinces, • plums, cherries, peac Ps, and a large variety of other trees, for kill- ing the San ,Tose scale. He shows that pear trees were sprayed in February and no scales were visible until the following September. These probably came from 'neighboring trees. The essential point. and the one that must he observed carefully, is the use of the finest spray possible that will apply a very thin coating at a time when weather conditions are favorable for rapid. evaporation.: , The trees them- selves should be dry whew the kero- sene is applied. Any departure from these suggestions may prove injurious. At present there is no perfect sprayer or atomizer on the market. If this is secured, the kerosene can he applied without much danger of bad results. SULTANATE OF SOKOTO. Description of the Country now the Cyno- sure of tire Continent. The Hausa States, constituting the Sultanate of Sokoto, just new the cyno- sure of European eyes, include the most fertile and populous region in all Cen- tral Africa. Roughly speaking they extend from latitude 8 degrees to 14 degrees N, and from 4 degrees to 11. degrees E, embracing an area of about halt a million square miles. Sokoto is the ancient political capital of the country, and a town of solme preten- sions, as African towns go. It is sur- rounded by a wall six and a half miles isi circumference, penetrated by eight gates, and has a population of about 10,000 souls, exelusiree of the numbers of itinerant traders who flock to its markets. Here lie the remains of the founder of the Empire, Othman dan Podiye, or Dan,Fodio, the Fulah Maalam, Tell - glee's tombs teacher, whose just out- side the principal mosque, is pxeserv- ed with great care, as is also the room in which he died. The Fnlahs, now the dominant race in Sokoto, and the Hate. SU, whom they have subdued, hath be- lieve that Dan Fad]o possessed super- naturel powers, that ;he ranks next to Christ, and that his power of bless- ing or banning has descended on his successors. But the Houses believe also in a prophecy, the wish probably being father to the belief, that only thirteen Sultans will reign in succes- sion to Don h'odio after which another power will take the place of the Fulah. The present Sultan of Sokoto is the eleventh of his race. THE COMMERCIAL CAPITAL. About 250 miles, as the crow flies, from Sokoto is Kano, the commercial capital, and by far the most import- ant in the Hausa States. The :market of •.Kano is indeed the most celebrated in the whole of tropical. Africa. Col. Monteil, who visiteditl about six years ago, estimated the average daily at- tendance of buyers and sellers to be front 25,000 to 30,000. It is the rendez- vous of traders from all parts of Af- rica north of the equator and west of the Valley of the Nile. Here the Tuarek of the desert meets the natives of Ada- mawa, and the south, the Arab mer- chant in his picturesque garments mingles with the throng of traders from the banks of the Niger, or even the Atlantic seaboard: on the one side and the shores of Lake Chad on the other. Kano is surrounded by walls in a fair state of repair, which are fifteen miles in cireumferenoe and entered by thirteen gates. Most of the land lying between Kano and Sokoto is under cultivation and much of the ground near the town ie divided into fields by means of low' earthwork dykes oke hedges of cactus. Only trees of economic value are allow- ed to stand in the fields, of these there are .many, the most valuable being the shea-butter tree, from which an ex- cellent fruit is obtained, as well as a large quantity of vegetable butter. Plum trees and tamarind trees grow in profusion, and also the valuable kuka tree, yielding both capital fruit and fibre, while its leaves are used for mak- ing a nutritious soup. In the trees close to the hamlets great quantities of bees are reared, which produce ex- cellent honey. NOT FOR COLONIZATION. These are some of the natural pro- ducts of Hausaland, which, thanks to the actio. • of the Royal Niger Com- pany, has been brought within the sphere of British influence. But, however valuable as a field for explobtation, no part of the Hausa State is fit. for British colonization. By colonization is meant the establish- ment of permauent homes and the rear- ing of families ; in this sense of the word Ha.usalarnd will never be colon- ized. But is this vast region cannot be colonized by Englishmen, it can none the lessbe administered and exploit- ed by them, to the mutual advantage of the governors and the governed. JUST THE1 OTHER WAY.

How few housewives realize the im- portance of careful attention to the ordinary and staple articles of the din- ner table! Mashed potatoes. are such a common acoompaniment for roast meats, that it is a source of ,wonder, why so few cooks send them to the table as they should be—a mass of snowy lightness, At this season of the year, potatoes should be put to cook In cold water and gradually brought to the boiling point. They should not be peeled, but should be scrubbed clean with a brush. This is where too many make their mistake, by peeling the potatoes and putting them aver the fire in boiling water. The medium-sized potatoes will cook in about thirty minutes after the water on them begins to boil. Salt should' always be added, but never until they have begun to boil and are partly cooked. Twelve potatoes will require about an eaten ,tablespoonful of salt. When the potatoes are done, drain them., peel them quickly, return them to the hot, dry kettle they were cooked in and beat them thoroughly with a wooden potato beetle. Properly boiled potatoes should fall into a snowy mass at the first blow of the beetle. ,After all the lumps are beaten out, add, for every twelve potatoes, half a cupful of hot, but not boiling milk ; this will be found better than cold milk or cream. Do not be sparing of salt but add a liberal supply, and also a heaping tablespoonful of good butter. 'Whip them into a light mass with a spoon, and remember that upon this thorough whipping, depends the secret of wholesome, mashed potatoes. Do not smooth the mashed potatoes down in the dish they are served in, but pile them lightly in a well -shaped, rough mass. They are better if they are served at once. There are many attractive ways of serving this common vegetable and we offer the following recipe for stuffed potatoes. Select smooth potatoes and have them as near the same size as possible. Roast them thoroughly. Cut off an end from each, scoop out the potato, and season it with butter, salt and pepper. Add also two tablespoonfuls of milk for every six potatoes, beating well. Return the potato pulp to the shells, stand each on end and return to the oven for half an hour. CARE OF LAMPS. No part of the household duties is elf more importance than the care of the temps, tend it is better for the mis- tress of the house to give her personal supervision to (ibis matter, for if it is heft to the cars of ;the servants le is usually half done, and Swat is so dis- agreeable as a badly smelling lamp or a flamle that cannot be controlled. Lamps shoulid, be attended to in the d.ayligh•t, and for ttbat reason it should be the rule in every household to col- lect the la'mps the first thing in the morning and, bring them to the place where they are usually taken care of. Each one should be taken apart, the reservoir filled; the metal cbdmney holder washed in boiling suds, and the other parts wiped perfectly clean of ev- en the suspicion of oils, for it is this that makes the disagreeable odor when the lamp is lighted. The wick "should be raised and all tale cheered portions wiped riff with a rag, it should never be trimmed with the scissors, although it may be necessary sometimes to use them to remove a fiber or two that has ,worked out of place. After that the wick should be turned very low so it will not draw up oil and overflow on the clean metal. The glass chimney should be polished inside and out with a dry rag or chamois, seldom it ever needing to be washed on the inside. Lamps attended to in 'bhis .manner should brave a clean, steady light, and if not turned too low, should never snit the least odor_ DINING ROOM COMFORT. The essentials of a dlining-rooin are not what some people consider them. Some rooms there are diedi.eated to eat- ing wherein this sun is allowed to shine full into the faces of those occupying nertai.n seats at the table, while at least oma is placed with the back of his cllais in direct contact with te hot radiator.

Molasses Cookies. --Iwo eggs, well beaten; one cup granulated sugar; one cup New Orleans molasses; one cup cof- fee, warps; one cup rich buttermilk two heaping teaspoonfuls socia ; one cup lard; one teaspoonful each ofginger and cinnamon: Stir in flour until the consistency of stiff cake, then heat smoothly. Take about a pint of sift- ed flour upon the kneading board and pour one-third of the mixture upon it, then knead the flour into it until it can be handled; then with plenty of flour on kneading -board roll one- qbarter inch thick; cut, sifting sugar over after being put in tins, and bake in a hot oven. 13y using one-third of mixture at a time the dough can be better handled and less liable to be too stiff, which spoils any cooky. Pie Crust, --Por three large pies, take one coffee cup of lard, one quart of sifted flour. Mix lard through the flour until flour isentirely absorbed, then add a teaspoonful of salt and three-quarters cup of cold water ; mix until smooth, adding flour enough to the kneading -board to roll nicely. Cream Cake.—One well beaten egg, one rounding tablespoonful of lard or butter, one cup granulated sugar, one cup sweet milk, two and one-half cups flour sifted with one teaspoonful soda and two of cream of tartar. Beat all until smooth and bake in three lay- ers in a quick oven. When cool whip one cup of cream until stiff enough to spread well, then add one-half cup sugar, one teaspoonful vanilla and spread between and over the top of cake. Lemon Jelly.—Half a box of gela- time put to soak in tipid water suffi- cient to cover, until soft, add a scant. pint of boiling water, 11-2 cups sugar, a tiny bit of salt, and the grated rinds and juice of three lemons. Stand on the stove until it boils. Strain in a mold., and set in a cold place. Orange jelly is made the same way. Corn Bread.—Three cups corn meal, 31-2 cups buttermilk, 1-1 cup cream, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon soda or less according to the acidity of the milk. Heat muf- fin pans on top the stove, grease well, put batter in, bake in a quick oven on the shelf, as the pan's being heated bakes the corn breadon the bottom. Cheese Cakes.—Two cups bread crumbs moistened with milk, 1-4 1b. grated cheese, 1 egg, a little flour to make smooth, a little butter, pepper and salt. Fry in a skillet or on a griddle. They are delicious. FUNNIGRAMS. Another Question,-" He has a bright future ahead of him."

To d.o this he must draw his quill through the space of a rod—sixteen and one-half feet. In forty minutes his pen travels a furlong and in five hours and a third a mile. We make on an average sixteen curves of the pen. in writing each word; writ - ling thirty words in a minute we must make 488 to each second; ba an hour 28,800; in a day of only five hours 144, - remarkable. Many men make 4,000,- 000, ,000;000, and in a. year of 300 days 43,200,000. The man who made 1,000,000 strokes with a pea in a month was not at all 000. Here we have in the aggregate a. mark 300 miles long, to be traeed ton paper by each writer in the year. In making each letter of the alphabet we must make from three to seven strokes of the pen—on an average three and one-half to four. . NATIONAL LEGISLATURES. The, parliament of the United King- dom is the largest representative body in the world.
