TIE Cock Vegetables.

1t is often observed that a meal from
vegetables is not satisfying. / have found
it frequently happen that the persons who
thus objected did not know even how to
boil a vegetable. The rule is simple, and
should never be forgotten. Every kind of
vegetables intended TO be served whole
should, when put to boil, be placed at once
in boiling water; and this applies especial
.ly to potatoes, aud vegetables from which
the outer cover ias been removed. Now
it often happens that potatoes, ETC., are, to
save time placed in cold water and left to
boil gradually. 1t is just this which al
lows the nutritious matter to escape and
renders the meal unsatisfying. When, on
the contrary, the water bolts from the mo-
ment the vegetable is immersed in it, the
albumen is partially coagulated near the
surface, and serves to retain the virtue of
the vegetable. The reverse is, of course,
the rule for making soup, or any dish from
which the water will not be drained. BY
placing the vegetables in cold water the
albumen is slowly dissolved. and actually
mixes with the watcr-a process most ne
cessary for the production of nutritious
soup. 1t is to be hoped that those who
have a special need for the most their mo-
ney can produce, will learn, in whatever
haste they may be, not to boil all the al
bumen from their potatoes, reserving for
their meal only the starchy matter.

Lice OH Hogs.

In answer to a recent inquiry for a rem
edy for lice on hogs. allow me to say that
1 have had an experience of twelve years
with breeding hogs. The past five years
1 have used the following, which will clean
off the lice in two days: Put about one
gill of kerosene oil into an old dish, and
with a paint brush or old WOODEN rag rub
the oil up and down III the back of the
animals and behind the fore leg and on
the flank. Be particular about the last
two places, for it is where the lice deposit
their eggs, which, if not destroyed will
hatch in about five days. If it be a black
hog these eggs can be plainly seen, being
about the size of timothy seed and lying
close to the skin fast to the hair. No one
need fear to use the oil freely, as it will
mot injure the hog in the least. Hot water
will not kill these lice, for | have seen
them crawl after the hog had been scald-
Dcd in a barrel after being butchered.-R.

Electric Light fer Be cons md
Buoys.

A new method has been proposed for
lighting the beacons and buoys on the sea
coast by electricity. so as to give bright.
permanent and unmistakable light. This
is effected by a rapid succession of sparks,
due to an alienation of charges and dis
charges of a condenser situated upon the
beacon OF buoy. This is charged by a
voltaic battery without the Intervention of
an induction coil. The communication is
made by means of a submarine wire. run
ming from the shore to the beacon or buoy
and it can be operated thoroughly by par
ties on shore. The practical value of the
suggestion can, of course, only be deter
mined by somewhat continued expert
ments.

Facts for Farmers.

Never keep your cattle short few farm
ers can afford it. If you starve them they
will starve you.
Rain is cash to a farmer.
The foot of the owner is the best ma
nure for land.
Obtain good seed, prepare your ground
well, sow early. and pay very little atten-
tipn to the moon.
Cultivate your w heart Alright re-
member that whatsoever a man soweth,
that shall he also reap"
Keep notes of all remarkable events on
your farm.
Recording even your errors will be of
benefit.
Ground once we'll plowed is better than
thrice poorly.
Weeds that grow uumolested around the
fences, stumps, and stones. scatter their
seeds over the farm, and are very likely to
grow.
When you see a fence down, put it up /;
if it remains until tomorrow, the cattle
may get over.

Potato Starch.

To make starch from potatoes; wash youl
70 tatoes clean then pare them. Take a
large crater and CRATE them into a tub OF
water. After it becomes settled, drain the
water off, putting fresh on again, pouring
and changing about three times, when the
starch will be ready to dry This is done
by spreading it out on paper or muslin,
and it will be ready in a very short time.
1t will compare favorably with the best
silver gloss starch that can be found in the
market.
