If - the work is carefully j done the trees mulched in jgood season, and properly protected, fall planting will; succeed fully as iwell as spring; but considerable loss is often occasioned by care r armer.

She has regained also something of her old brilliant color, arid is more nearly like what as a girl bride. she; was Vacant Farms in Vermont. The Vermont commissioner of agriculture, A. B. Valentine, of j Bennington has issued ! a statement noting in detail the location, characteristics and prices of the abandoned farming lands for which settlement is now sought! It is hoped that in this way the attention of Indi viduals of small means, search ing for comfortable and Inde pendent homes,) may be attract ed toward the State in a more definite way. The results: pre sented are of the greatest in terest and would be startling in deed had they not been in a de gree discounted! by the previous statements of tlie commissioner. It shows there are thousands of acrs of farming lands which have been abandoned and can be bought for from $1 to $5 an acre. Springfield Republican. ; ; ! One of the best preparations for restoring furniture to its original freshness is a mixture of three parts of j linseed oil and one part of turpentine. Dust the article to which it is to be applied, rub it oh with a woolen cloth, and afterwards polish it with chamois. If you wish to varnish stained Wood, you will find the following excellent : Dissolve four ounces of sanda rac, one ounce of green mastic and four ounces of shellac in one pound of alcohol and add two jounces of turpentine ; Common Measures. It is always best to have a pair of scales in the house, but for those housekeepers who guess at the quantities when cooking by a recipe, the follow ing table will come handy : One and one-third pints of powdered sugar weigh one pound. -' j Two and three-fourths ; tea cups level of powdered sugar weigh fourteen ounces. I Two tea-cups level of granu lated sugar weigh one pound. One pint of coffee "A" sugar weighs twelve ounces. D j Two tea-cups well heaped of coffee "A" sugar weighs One pound. I One pint of best brown; sugar weighs thirteen ounces, n Two and one-half tea-cups level of best I brown sugar weigh one pound! f i One tablespoon well neaped of granulated, coffee " A," or best brown sugar equals one ounce. ! ' : Two tablespoons of powdered sugar or flour weigh one ounce. One tablespoon well rounded of soft butter weighs one ounce. One quart of sifted flour well heaped weighs one pound. Two teacups of butter well packed weigh one pound. Miss Parloa says one gener ous pint of liquid, one pint of finely chopped meat packed sol idly, weighs one j pound, -which it would be very convenient to remember. i Ten common-sized eggs weigh one pound. j j . ; Teaspoons vary in size, and the new ones hold twice as much as the old-fashioned spoon of j thirty years ago.

Shall we say it again and re iterate it as often as a reason able regard for the temper of the reader will permit, that there is little or no money in dairying but in the best, and that there is no best where poor cattle, mean feed and general carelessness are found ; that to produce the best butter and se cure not only a ready market but the top of the; market in the matter of .price, iwe must have kindness with the cattle, clean liness in handling the milk, skill in making the butter and the art of so putting it j up as that it shall look just as good as it is, and be as good as it looks. It is the poor butter that is a drug on the market ; the wishy washy, namby-pamby stuff that is neither good for its looks, taste, smell or condition ; the oily, greasy, colorless, ill-conditioned stuff that no j sensible Eerson would look at, much less uy and . take home to eat. It is the consistency, the color, and, perhaps, the absence of any flavor with oleomargarine that entitles it to a preference on the part of many buyers who are unfamiliar with pure butter that favors its selling. Farm ers, then, who would make a success of butter making, must study the market and realize that the best only is wanted, and that mean butter has about the same value in the estima tion of a good housekeeper as fish after they have been kept too long. ; ; Lady Cake.
