How TO Boil POTATOEs.-Choosc 70

potatoes carefully !; tho yellow arc better
than the red. the red are better than the
white. Let them be Of moderate size. with
out srccks. heavy and clear in the rind.
DO not wash them until they are pared
and ready for cooking. Choosc them all Of
the same size, else the smaller ones willboil
to pieces before the larger oncs are done.
Above all things do not fiji! your saucepan
more than half full and remember that it is
especially essentially important not to put
more water than will cvcr the potatoes
about an inch, so that allowing for waste in
boiling, they may still just be covered.
Set them over a moderate fire till they be.
gin to boil, then rcmove them from the fire
and let them simmer as slowly as possible
till they can be easily pierced blythe prong
Of fork. Potatoes of moderate size will
boil in twenty minut, $. The cracking of

When the fork test is satisfactory pour Of

sand things not worth half as much have

1t is this: If you cut off the back legs Of
your chairs so that the back part of tn,
seat shall be two inches lower than the
front part. it will greatly relieve the fatigue
Of sitting. and keep your spine in Il much
better shape. The principal fatigue in sit

To STRENGTHEN Fruit TREEs.-Fruit
and ornamental trees will sometimes so
form their crotchcs as to split down under a
heavy load of fruit or violent wind. The
evil can be obviatcl in arching or eros,
grating. Take u vigorous shoot in Spring,
and insert one end under the bark Of the
main stem and the other under that of the
opposite branch. Tie the branches firmly
together, to prevent slipping apart in
windy weather. Or, instead Of taking a
separate scion, a growing srrout may some.
times be found near the place needing to be
strengthened, and by cutting off the top it
may be inserted under the bark of the OPP.
positc limb. These branches may be put
in every few years, as the tree needs them.
Such ''Siamcscd' trees arc quite interest
ing objects to look at.
TO Boil CoRNED BEEr.-Wash it
thoroughly, and put into a pot that will
hold plenty of water. The water should
be hot the same care is necessary in
skimming it as for fresh meat. 1t is not
too much to allow half an hour for every
pound of meat after it has begun to boil.
The goodness Of corncd beef depends much
on its being boiled gently and long. IT it
is to be eaten cold, lay it when boiled into
a coarse carthcn dish or pan, and over it a
piece Of board the size Of the meat. Upon
this put a clean stone, or a couple of fiat
irons, or some other heavy weight. Salt
meat is very much improved by being
pressed. ..l..f.
SALT WITH NUTs.-Many persons suffer
acute pain after eating freely of nuts cspe-
cially those that contain oil, All nuts are
difficult to digest and much distress dyspep-
tics when they are eaten, as they often are.
late. 1t is said they may be made discsti-
bic, and favor improved at the same time,
by sprinkling salt ON them, or BY touching
tho tips into salt as we do radishcs. DR..
Abernethy records a case Of dcath that oc-
CURED in England from eating freely of
nuts, which he said would have been pre-
vented ifthe person had eaten salt with
the nuts, or had taken freely Of it after dis
trcss had occurred from eating them.
FIVE RULES FOR THE BUTTER MAKER.
Il. Get your milk from rich old PASTURE,
free Of weeds. 2. Set the milk in a moist,
pure air, and keep the heat Of the room un-
changed. 3. Churn the cream at 81 dc.
grces. 4. Work out all the buttcrmilk
without i%njuriug the grain Of the butte.
s. Mix. the salt even, not over an ounce to
the pound, Pack in oak or hcmlock tubs,
Refractory cream, says u. L. Bragdon, Of
Port Ontario. may be corrected by adding
two ounces Of alumrto two pals Of cream.
To Boil SALT SALMON.-Lct it soak
twelve hours, and slowly for two, when
serve with drawn butter. Salmon is nice
ly picked thus: After boiling as above,
cut it up into pieces four inches square,
and put into a jar. and pour over it hot
vinegar, in which a few whole. grains Of
pepper and .allspicc have BEEN boiled.
Serve this cold for luncheon or tea. 1t
