FAII3I, GARDEN AJfD HOUSEHOLD, When Apply Lime. jjime is most usefully employed in the Fall when man are has been plowed in. It then exerts its best effect in the best season. But if it could not be ap plied then it may be used at any time afterward, but better before a rain than aner it. ljime snouid be covered in the soil as soon as possible to prevent too rapid carbonization, which would quickly take place on the surface when the lime is exposed to the atmosphere and the nightly dews. But lime is so useful under any circumstances that win pay to apply it anywnere, at any time, and anyhow, so that it is not put out of the reach of the roots of the crop. Fatieniiin Poultry. No fowl over two years old should be kept in the poultry yard, except for some special reason. An extra good mother, or a finely feathered bird that is desirable as a breeder, may be pre served until ten years old with "advau tage, or at least bo long as she is ser viceable. But ordinary fowls should be fattened at the end of the second year for market. When there is a room or shed that can be closed, the fowls may be confined there. The floor should be covered with two or three inches of fine sawdust, dry earth, sifted coal ashes, or clean sand. The food should be given four times a day, and clean water be always before the fowls. A dozen or more fowls may be put at once in this apartment, so that there may not be too many ready to sell at one time The best food for rapid fattening, for producing well flavored flesh and rich fat, is buckwheat meal, mixed with sweet skimmed milk, into a thick mush A teaspoonful of salt should be stirred in the focd for a dozen fowls. Two weeks feeding is sufficient to fatten the fowjB,' when they should be shipped for sale without delay, and another lot put up for feeding. If the shed is kept dark and cool, as it should be, the fowls will fatten all the quicker for it. Prac tical armer. A Vnlunble Liquid Mannre. A writer in the Journal of Aqriculturc gives what he considers a very superior metnod of mailing a liquid manure with soot and stable manure. A good cask is employed and also a smaller vessel, like a half barrel, or something even smaller, with loose, open joints through wuicu me water win pass. 1 ne latter, after it is filled, is intended to be placed in the cask, and the space surrounding it to do nued witii water. Take the half barrel and put in first a spadeful of manure and pack it closely down to the Dottom and around tne sides, so as to form a cavity that will hold a pint or more of good soot from the top of a chimney where coal fires are kept burnt: next aaa anotner layer or manure, pressing it close round tne sides as be fore, then more soot, and so on uutil full, when a plate or tile should be placed upon the top to prevent it float' ing. Now insert this in the cask. The smaller vessel may be supported at the height of the cask by bricks placed on me oottom oi tne casn. or bv a pair oi nandies, consisting of two straight sticks securely fastened at its top and by which it may be carried. Fill up the cask with water, let the smaller vessel remain for three or four days, lifting it out a few times during the interval to drain; then lift it out altogether and support it on two sticks across the top and pour a few canfuls of fresh water to wash out by displacement the manure left in it, and when sufficiently drained the contents may go back to the manure heap for further decomposition, or be made use of in any other way. The solution thus obtained forms the stock pot, and may be diluted to any extent according to circumstances. It may be used eitner alone, of almost any strength, or it may be further enriched by the ad dition of about a teaspoonful of the sulphate of ammonia to each gallon of liquid. Or, on the other hand, a very gooa substitute for guwo will be formed by introducing a solution of chlonde of lime in the place of ammonia. The chloride solution is made by adding two ounces of the dry powder to a wine bcttle (twenty-four ounces) of water, shaking well up several times before using. From one half to one ounce of this liquid to be added to each gallon and given to stocks, primulas, primroses and nu merous other soft stemmed plants, will be found highly efficacious." . Milking Machines- In answer to an inquiry, the Ameri can Cultivator replies that many at tempts have hftu made to construct tticbines by which the milk could be trawa uom the cow's bag with the same facility and completeness as it could be drawn by hand, but so 1 far as our knowledge and obseivation extend, without any practical success. It is supposed by many that the milk is re tained in the cow's baa: through atmos pherio pressure alone; which, however, is not true, since the cow is able to control this flow to a great extent. If the cow dislikes the person employed in milking, or his mauner of drawing the milk, she will not only refuse to let down the fluid but, by persisting in the effort will soon dry up the supply. The udder of the cow is composed not only of a bmdle of milk veins but also of nerves. The aperture in the teat of the cow varies in size with each animal milked. In the case of some cows this aperture is large and the milk can be drawn away very rap idly, while in other cows the aper ture is small and any attempt to draw the milk from this latter class of cows as rapidly as from the former, will be attended with much pain upon the part of the abused animal, and a determi nation on her part to hold back the milk, This defect in the size of the aperture of the cow s teat is one which no ma.- chine can detect, but one which human hand readily observes. Immediately upon its discovery the humane milker relazes his efforts in forcing away tho milk. It is the smallness of this aper ture which stamps the cow as a hard milker. The observant dairyman soon learns that when he draws too hard the milk passes back to the bag. In such a case his efforts must be so relaxed that the milk will come away easily though slowly. Again, when there is inflammation in the cow's udder, the careful milker readily detects it, and quickly sets about with measures to reduce the inflammation and relieve the cow. By the use of no machine could such a difficulty be detected, and seri ous consequences might be the result of machine making. A great many bags would be permanently ruined and many cows die of milk fever, which would be saved to the owner where milking by hand prevails. It is observed that men have not become better artisans since the introduction of machinery. Mana gers and overseers may now under stand better the nature 6f the article manufactured, the raw material used and the nature of the machine employed than was the case formerly, but the rank and file tho class of men who to day operate the machines, and who, be fore machines were invented, did the work by hand these men understood the nature of the material upon which they worked better in former times than they do now. And so, in this connec tion, he who has to milk a cow, and do it well and properly, should know at least the character and construction of the cow's bag. Recipes. Cup Pudding. Some stale roils. divested of crust and cut in halves. Place each half in a teacup and cover it with milk till it is soaked through Turn it out on to a plate, add a little moieroilk and with it jam of marmalade. How to make MeatTendek. Cut the steaks the day before, into slices about two inches thick, rub them over with a small quantity of soda; wash off next morning, cut into suitable thickness, ana cook as you choose. Tne same process will answer for fowls, legs of mutton, etc. Try, all who love deli cious, tender dishes of meat. juemon uake. Beat to a cream one cup of butter and three cups of pow dered sugar. Add the yolks of five gs, previously well-beaten, the juice and grated rind of one lemon, and a cup of milk with one teaspoonful of saleratus (or baking powder) dissolved in it. Then add the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth, sift in four cups oi nour and bane. ; Glazed Ham. Soak and boil a ham twenty minutes to the pound, and let it get almost cold in the water. Skin it neatly, and coat with a paste made of a cup of cracker crumbs, one of milk, two beaten eggs, and seasoned with pepper. Bet tho ham in the oven until the glazing is browned, moistening, now and then, with a few spoonfuls of cream. Wind frilled paper about the shank, and garnish with parsley. Bishop Pudding. Butter some thinj suces oi oreaa, witnout crust, and over the butter spread a good layer of jam. Cut the slices into convenient pieces. Line and border a deep pie dish with puff paste, arrange the slices of bread and butter in the dish until half full. Make an ordinary, rather milky ground rice pudding, flavor the milk with which it is made with the rind of a lemon. Sweeten to taste, and add to it two or three beaten up eggs, according to the size of the pudding. Pour this mixture into the pie dish, and bake in brisk oven. President Arthur weichs 215 pounds.

The work of the Methodist Church in Italy is progressing with remarkable rapidity and encouragement. A new missionary society called the "Evangelical Association in behalf of the German Protestants in America," has been formed in Bremen, Germany. The Kev. D. D. Carrie, of the Cen tenary Methodist Episcopal church, St. Johns, N. B., has received a call to the church at Denver, Colorado, at a salary of $5,)00 a year. Eex-Governor Dingley, of Maine, re cently elected to Congress, is an active member of the Congregational Church in Lewistofl n, of which Senator Frye (whom he succeeds) is also a member. In California the Episcopal clergy number fifty-four; parishes and mis sions, forty ; Sunday school scholars, 3,275 ; baptisms last year, 610, of which 113 were adult ; confirmations, 361 ; communicants, 3,602; offerings, $94, 842. Value of church property, $195, 550, on which there is an indebtedness of $5G,050. The South Congregational Sunday school of New Britain, Connecticut, pays its superintendent a regular salary, and he devotes his whole time to the interests of the school, visiting families, looking after absent scholars, etc. It is the largest Protestant Sun day school in the State, and numbers about 1,000 members. Reunions Tramps. 'That man is a religious tramp," said Manager Bunting, of the Christian Home for Intemperate Men. The man had, apparently just passed middle life. "He can sing finely, pray earnestly, and exhort eloquently. I wish I could talk as well as he can." "Why do you call him a religious tramp." "I will explain. There are religious tramps just the same as there are tramps who prey upon the general public, and who are honest enough to make no pretense of religion. These religious tramps are known to every evangelist, clergyman and philanthro pist, lliey haunt gospel temperance meetings, make religious professions in the meetings of the Women's Christian Unions, and are present at the mission rooms.and when one city fails to attord tnem lurtner pecuniary relief, they start on the track of a temperance orator, or follow up some revival move ment, visiting all parts of tho country, God is not deceived. We are not de ceived. Many just such men. however. have been saved, and have led useful lives." "You do not mean to say that these religious tramps are ever sincerely con vened c "It is a fact. Because it is so these man are asked to come under Christian influence. To be sure, many of them will not reform. They love their miserable drunken life. I have taken men into this home, cast their raereed clothes into the ash-box, given them baths, a new suit of clothes, and sobered them up. Often they have secured good places but, before giving a day's uppuuuuuu io wieir duties, tney nave deliberately gone back to Chatham and Baxter street dens and imbibed poison to that extent that my next knowledge of them is that they are on Ulackwells Island shoveling ashes, Men nave been through all this and tnen reform, it is a rare exception, however." "What is the right side of this relic- a " i nit iuub iraiup picture r "Ihese men have one common place of meeting. It is generally in a back room of a groggery of the lowest des cnption. I recall one particular place in Chatham street where hundreds of them congregate, because I 'have had occasion to snatch men from its influ ence. In this place can be found men who were born tramps. The surround ings of their lives have been such that they could not help following a vicious course, almost from the cradle to the present. Associated with them, linked together by the common tie of misery, are young men whose parents are hon orable, respectable and wealthy citizens. Drink has led them into errors, and into the committal of crime. They have gone down step by step in the social Bcale, until to-day they subsist almost entirely on liquid poisons, mere semblances of humanity. Some of them have been cast off from parental recognition; in some instances they draw a specified amount of money from home at regular intervals. I have put just such men on their feet again, and for years past 1 have been blessed in knowing that they are enjovinar the confidence of their families, filling good situations and leading Christian lives." One of these men, who had been for some time leading an honest life, has a good situation in a business house, and looks on his past career as a ter rible nightmare, was asked : i "What led you to put yourself under Christian influence?" "Beligion was far from my thoughts when I took the first step to sober up. My sole object was to secure a tew suit of clothes in place of the 'hand-me-downs' I was then wearing." "What do you mean by hand-me-downs ?" 'Hand-me-downs are obtained in this way. A man in a temporary in terval of soberness secures a new suit of clothes, say worth about $30. As he has no money to purchase more whisky, he enters a Baxter street second-hand clothing shop. Possibly he is in a drug ged condition. He receives an old worn suit in place of his new one, and not more than a dollar or two be sides. Very likely he fails to remem ber tho place, and the recovery of his good suit of clothes, when he comes to his reason, is a matter of impossibility. Well, I had heard that I could go to some evangelist, concoct a good story about desire for repentance, talk and pray, and I would secure my new clothes and a month's board. I tried the plan. I did not want religion. I did not believe that I could be saved. In a few weeks I was in my right mind. Good influences had begun their work upon me. I was ashamed of my deceit. I confessed my purpose to defraud. The kindness shown me, the convic tion that came to me that I could re form, brought with it the determina tion to do so, and I can only look back at my past course with horror." Another man who had once been under Christian teachings, but who re fused to be guided by them after he got away from their influence, said, re ferring to the means of living in tramps quarters. "We manage it in various ways. We put up a job on some minis ter or generous Christian, and by the good talking of some one of our num ber get a littie money or good clothes. These we turn into money. Wo win their sympathies by professions of re ligion, and most always get aid to visit our homes in some far-off locality. Then some of our number work tem porarily They spend their money in treating, and thus one helps the other.'"' But these men deceive no one, it if said, although they think they are no? read through and through by those who try to reform them. Hey. Dr. Tyng, before his departure for Europe, was in ; the habit on winter mornings of giving hot breakfast to the outcasts, bring ing them in from the highways. One morning he fed several hundred on a good, nourishing breakfast. Knowing that all of them would readily assert that they desired to give up drink, re form, and become Christian men, he said to them : "There are many of you this morning doubtless saying in your minds : 'What a soft thing we have got on Dr. TyDg. We will go up and beat him out of a hot breakfast, and he is welcome to keep his religion.' Now I am satisfied that if I can only save one man out of this large number pres ent here this morning, the object of this entertainment has been secured." .Veto York Sun. Beds and IJed-Clotlies. As at least one-third of our lives is passed in our beds, their arrangement and furnishing is a matter of no small importance. The new steel spring bed is, of course, the bed of the future. Fulfills every intention of flexibility ; it is durable ; it goes with the bedstead, as an actual part of it, and it can never be a nest or receptacle of conta&rion or impurity. On the subject of bed-, clothes the points that have most to be enforced are that heavy bed-clothincr is always a mistake, and that weight in no true sense means warmth. The light down quilts or coverlets which are coming into general use are the trreat- est improvements that have been made in our time in regard to bed-clothes.-One of these quilts takes well the place of two blankets, and they cause much less fatigue from weight than layer upon layer of blanket covering. The clothing must be regulated according to the needs of each, individual; the body under the clothes must neither be too cold or too hot; but it is better to sleep with too little than too muoh clothing. The position of the bed in the bed-room is of moment. The foot of the bed to the fire-place is the best arrangement when it can be carried out. The bed should be away from the door, so that the door does not open upon it, and should never, if it can be helped, be between the door and fire. If the head of the bed can be placed to the east, so that the body lies in the line of the earth's motion, I think it is the best position for the sleeper. The furniture of the bedroom, other than the bed. should be of the simplest kind. The chairs should be uncovered, and free from stuffing of woolen or other material ; the wardrobe should have closely-fitting doors; the utensils should have closely -fltting covers; and every thinar that can in any way gather dust should be carefully excluded.
