paste, and then coating the cracks with it,
The hotter the fire then becomes, the more

its metal ingredients, and the more com
pletely will the crack become closed.
EXCELLENT PUDDING.-Three table
spoonfuls of tapioca soaked in cold water
till it is swelled enough, then add one
quart of milk, and put in double kettle,
or in pitcher, and set into boiling water,
and when the tapioca is sufficiently tender,

pour half in dish, add the whites of the
eggs beaten to froth, then pour the re-

THE Herald Of Healh tells us that sleep
ing after dinner is a bad practice, and that
ten minutes before dinner IS worth more
than an hour after. Ii rests and retreshes
and prepares the system for vigorous di-
| gestion. If sleep is taken after dinner it
should be in the sitting posture, as the
| horizontal position is unfavorable to
healthful digestion. Let those who ueed
rest and sleep during the day take it be
fore dinner instead of after, and they will
soon find that they will feel better, and
that their digestion will be improved
thereby.
WEAK EYES IN HoRsEs.-Make up
wash of alum and water which reduce to
blood heat, and with a quill, blow the
liquid into the eye. After trying the
above preparation three times, take a
piece of alum, as large the end of ones
finger, and burning 1T in the fire reduce it
to powder, and blow it stoutly by the
same process into the eye. We have tried
burnt alum on number Of horses that
have had sore eyes, aud always found it a
valuable remedy. 1t will remove all scum
and restore cearness to the eyes.-Anaeri

MULTIPLYING SEEDLINGS A cores
pondent of the Cdndda Farmer proposes
to multiply seedlings after the following
manner: "Take cuttings from such seed
lings as may be considered worth testing,
and graft or bud them upon the previous
years wood, or healthy grown tree. In
this way an immense number of ciOns
| could be put on one tree, and nearly every
orchard has one or more suitable trees
which do but little in the way of bearing
fruit. | am of the opinion that the wood
of young plant grated into a tree of
a mature growth, would bear as soon as a
section from the old tree"
To Boil CoRNED BEEF-Wash it
thoroughly and put it into pot that will
hold plenty of water. The water should
be hot; the same care is necessary in
Swimming ii as for fresh meat. 1t is not
too much to allow half an hour for every
pound of meat after il has begun to boil
The goodnt IS of corned beef depends much
on its being boiled gently and long. If it
is to be eaten cold, lay it, when boiled,
into coarse, earthen dish or pan, and
over it piece of board the size of the
meat Upon this put clean stone, or q
couple of hatirons, or some other heavy
weight Salt meat is very much improved
by being pressed -Erehanse. -r,s9s
"UNCLE JACK" in the Southern Cult
GATOR, gives the following recipe for pOtsto
pudding: Take good sound potatoes,
wash them clean, scrape off the outside
skin thin, CRATE them; To five hesping
table spoonfuls add one quart of boiling
milk, and five eggs, beat up with five
spoonfuls of sugar, a lump of butter
| about the size OF an egg, tea spoon of
salt; flavor with nutmeg or other spice or
spices, to suit the taste; stir all well to-
gether. Perhaps, if you have it, IA little
Eau de Rose, wine or brandy, would i'm
prove the taste; and some would perhaps
like it better with less, some with more
sugar. Now for the cooking Don't put
it in a crust, but in q clean oven; stir a
| few times at the start, to prevent sticking,
and bake until surely done.
