ArP1z SAUCE. Everybody Knows that a
baked spare.rib, or roast goose or turkey
ia not complete without sour apple or cram
berry sauce; but they are much more de-
sirable with % boiled leg Of lamb. :, Stew
the fruit ir one quarter its measure of
water. When nearly done stir in just sugar
enough to relieve is keenest ,acidity., Let
it boil q moment longer and then rub it
through a hair sieve. Serve IL cold. A.
good substitute for this is the cold stcoun-,
try" apple sauce made by the Shakers,
who supply tho grocers; but it is good
plan when apples are plenty to make your
winters stock yourself It is very con-
venient for alling, to either baked or fried
pies, or to eat with bread and butter, as
we'll as with meats -s@.-'H -. -
To make it, use-both sweet and sour ap.
PIES. Boil first one gallon of new oidor
till only one quart Set a large
kettle, in which q dish or plato is laid. to
prevent the sauce from burning at. the
bottom, over slow fire, Pare, quarter,
and core your apples;-you will need two
gallons of cut apples for q, quart of boiled
cider. Put these with. the cider into the
kettle and letit boil two hours; then pour
in quart Of molasses, stir the sauce thor
oughly, and boil it steadily six hours more.
A coal fire covered with ashes will cook
this we'll If the. fire will keep all night
let the kettle remain, stawing moderately
tin morning; it will then be of bright
red color. Take it into stone or glass jars,
or an oaken firkin. Never put it into glaz-
ed earthen ware there is arsenic in the
glazing, which the acids: sets free.i II The
apple is such hsalthful fruit it ought to
be ON our tables in. some form at every
meal. .-Ne,o Ehglaad Farmer.

j. .WNTER1xa ;BEEs.-As correspondent Of
the Bee Journal, writing from Ghent, Ohio,
gives tho following;
During the last ten winters ! have kept
the principal partof my bees in house,
twelve feet, and:six feet six inches between
'aoors. walls ton inches,n y filled in witt,
,sawdust, and clapboards outside and sealed
oSl Ia in srvS,, ,1oxr
in the other; shutter inside, and in winter
with hay or straw. Upper floor and lower;
tor in lower floor, with q six inch stove-pipe
through middle or upper aoor, extending
up near the roof. with elbow on top to keep
out light, making considerable draft; and
when door and window are closed, the re-
pository is a. dark as q dungeon. If colo
MES are strong with bees and honey, or
only moderately 80 with fertile queen,
and well ventilated, would not be afraid
to warrant them to come out all strong in
the spring, having no disease whatever. I
often throw open the door at evening, clos
ing It in the morning. Keep bees in dry,
even temperature, say from thirty-tive to
forty-two degrees, and you will not have a
spffocated, snesred, stinking mass, of dead
in the spring. Bees, like man, want God 3
pure fresh cir. We must remember that
the larger the number, the greater the
heat. Build large, ven!ilate. - :.
REMEDIES DESTRUCTIVE TO APPLE TREE
Lice. Make a strong decoction Of tobacco;
BY boiling tobacco, or tobacco stems, in
water. To four gallons of the tobacco wa
ter, add, say one quart of strong soft soap,
and with garden engine, apply this mix
ture to the infested trees.
Another remedy, equally eficacious, con-
sists in Stacking quick lime with boiling
hot water, using only go much water as
will reduce the lime to powder. Lime so
Stacked will possess more caustic proper
ties han air Stacked. >.
After o shower, or while the trees are wet
with dew, throw the powdered lime over
them. One application, we'll applied. es-
pr cially if they are wet enough to cause the
lime to adhere. will kill the lice. J.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Hearth and
Home has novel cure for balky horse.
He says: 'tFill his mouth with dry, loose
dirt, take hold Of the bit, and he will 60 if
there is any 60 in him. "
In screwing nuts into any part Of ma
chinery in cold weather, be careful not to
heat them with the hands,, or they will
contract after being screwed on tight and
become immovable afterward.
