PoTAToEs FOR BREAKFAsT.-Iake the
mashed potatoes left from dinner the cay
before, mix them smooth with a little not
milk and butter, put them by spoonfulis
into an iron biscuitpan previously healeo,
and brown them in hot oven. They are
very light and nice.
To REMOVE OLD IRON MoULD.-lt is
recommended that the part stained should
be remoistened with ink, and this re-
moved by the use of muriatic acid diluted
with five or six times its weight OF water,
when it will be found that the old and
new stain will be removed simultaneously.
To RAISE hickory trees, pillow the
ground and plant the hickory nuts in rows
five feet apart. Sow the nuts thickly at
first, and thin them out as they become
crowded. Plant in autumn, and fresh
nuts, for those too well dried will not
grow. Cultivate the trees for two or
three years, or until they begin to shade
the ground.
SHOULDER OF MUTToN.-A shoulder of
mutton, weighing about six pounds, re-
quires one hour and a half to roast; if
stuffed, quarter Of an hour longer. Be
fore cooking it, take out the bone, and fill
the space with dressing of bread
crumbs, pepper, salt, parsley, sweet mar
joram, one egg, and small piece of but
| ter mixed together.
POLISH FOR P PATENT LEATHER GooDs-
Take half pound ofmolasses or sugar, one
| ounce of gum arabic, and two pounds of
ivory black boil them well together, then
let the vessel stand until quite cooled, and
the contents are settled; after which, bot
tie off. This is an excellent reviver, and
may be used as backing in the ordinary
way, no brushes for polishing being re-
required. Scientific american.
AN exchange says that great economy
| in the manufacture of bread is secured by
| the following proct s. Gluten to the
amount of ten or twelve per cent. is ex-
tracted by boiling water from bran, and
the flour is kneaded with this infusion,
| whereby from twenty to thirty per cent.
| more bread is obtained. The bread, of
| course, is not so white as that of first
quality, but is much more nutritious.
BLEEDING from the nose is always re-
garded as an unwelcome event, yet, in the
opinion of DR.. Hall, it always is benei-
cial, preventing headache OF more serious
illness, and sometimes arresting apoplexy
and sudden death. Therefore it should
| not be Immediately arrested. When the
| nose threatens to bleed excessively, it can
sometimes be arrested by putting the feet
in hot water, or by applying mustard
plaster between the shoulders.
SALT AS A MANURE.-A subscriber of
| the Maine Farmer, most careful and ex-
emplary farmer, purchased last spring
large quantity of damaged salt for dress
ing. 1t was applied to grain and root
crops at the rate of ten bushels to the
acre, being spread broadcast after the
grain was sowed, and narrowed in. Its
beneficial effects were quite marked, es-
pcclally upon crop OF peas, although
the gentleman says he believes him
self that he used larger quantity than
was necessary.
THE CASTOR BEAN.-The California
Farmer says: Thus far, all who have
raised the Castor Rean-who have given
it proper care and attention-have made
it very profitable crop. 1t should. be
borne in mind that the large bean does not
open freely; the small Illinois bean opens
without trouble and is easily gathered.
There is market now fer all that can be
raised, and there should be no delay in
planting. If there were one thousand
acres planted now, in addition to all that
has been planted, there is ready market
for the crop.
A CELLAR WELL.-A writer in Hearth
and Home says: 81 dug the well in my
cellar in the usual way until good sup
ply of water was reached; then stoned it
up about three feet, making good reser-
voir then inserted a ID inch galvanized
iron pipe, placed some flat stones over the
well, and filled in even with the cellar
bottom with dirt. The pipe leads directly
to the sink, where good iron pump is at
tached. The advantages are, pure water,
absolutely free from insects or vermin
and all surface rubbish, and saving of
the expense of stoning up to the surface.
| am very much pleased with the PLAN"
How MUCH SALT is ENoUaH.-In Eng
land it is ascertained by experience that
sheep require half pound a week, which
is twenty eight pounds, or half a custom
house bushel per annum; COWS require a
bushel and half per annum; young cat
tie, bushel; draught horses and draught
cattle bushel; colts and young cattle,
from three pecks to bushel each per an
mum. 1t is also customary to use, in cur
ing ton of hay, ten or fifteen pounds of
salt.
NEVER fill kerosene lamps after dark,
but always In day time. Never allow
lamp to be placed On mantle-piece,
whether the room has.a CRATE or stove
fire, as the heat of the same will cause
the Oil to be more infammable, and more
liable to explode when lighted. 1t is a
common practice in factories to have their
lamps hung on wire from the ceiling
| they should be removed when not in use,
as the heat OF the stove ascends towards
the ceiling, the effect being the same as in
the second suggestion. Do not allow the
wick to get baked OF crusty; trim it fire.

For diptheria in fowls, take half an
ounce of tincture of myrrh, one drachm
powdered borax, one drachm powdered
| cblorate of potash; dissolve the borax
| and chlorate of potash in three and a half
| ounces of hot water, and when cold, put
in vial, and add the tincture of myrrh !;
| apply this solution plentifully, with a
| feather or camels hair brush, three or four
| times day, to the mouth and throat, and
rub the outside sores with some cooling
ointment. An ointment made from white
| wax one part, lard four parts, is very
good; but much better is some medicated
salve, such as many keep by them for
burns, scalds, sores, etc.--Erct0nge.
