HOW TO COOK A BEEFsTEAK.

A correspondent Of The Homestead gives
the following directions
When you ae so lucky as to get a beef
steak, don't spoil is in the cooking II should
be cut nearly an inch in thickness. and divid-
ed-by the natural divisions where practical
hle--into pieces the size of your hand. or
theroabouts. Cut away the most Of the fat.
If you happen to have such a thing as a
" beeisteak- FOUNDER in the house, put il in
TO the fire and burn il TO coal-the wood they
are usually made Of furnishes capital Goals for
broiling; but any Goals will do, if they are
hot enough.
The best gridii on is the double one of wire
which you can shut your meat into and turn
without fork to let the juice out, but any
gridiron will do if il is clean If you have
much else to see to besides the steak, YOU had
better have something else for breakfast, for
it is sin to put beefsteak over the Goals
and leave it to warp and squirm, and dry up,
until it is as tough and tasteless as the sole
Of an old shoe. But il you have a consci-
ence void Of ofense with all men. and are able
to concentrate your entire energies upon the
business, put your steak over the fire. Now
you must know that the outside of a broiled
piece of meat must be crisp. and turn iii
the inside juicy, to make it most palatable
and turn it nourshug. If YOU allow it to
rest long with one side to the fire turn it !
the juice and flavor rises to the surface and
is lost. The great art turn it is to expose
the meat at the start for a moment, to such

SALT AND LINE FOR WHEAr.-A cores
pendent Of the Farmer and Gardner who had
been troubled with the falling down of his
wheat. relates the following experiments -
made mixture in the proportion of two
parts lin weight of lime to one of salt
permitted the mixture TO lie in the heap for
some four weeks before applying it; then
spread it over part of the field at the rate of
ton and half to the acre. The result was
that in that part of the field the wheat all
stood WELL while on the remainder it went
down before the heads were entirely filled 49,
| need not tell you how much easier the
former was TO cut than the latter. The yield
was decidedly better. and, in addition to these
advantages, found the clover, on the part
to which the mixture had been applied, larg-
CT and finer than where it had not been"
Another correspondent of the same paper
says, he applied top-dressing Of salt, about a
bushel on an acre, when the turnips were put

succeeded, and the result was 70 much better
yield on the sailed part than the other
