broth, which may be Favored with paTs-
ley, celery or any other vegetable A
pint of this broth, before any other flavor
than parsley has been added, is needed
for the meat, which should be put into
sauce pan with it and the liquor which
was made after frying the meat, and gent
ly stewed for an hour. A teaspoonful of
flour and a little ketchup, with Cayenne
pepper and salt, should be added. After
these are added, let the whole come to a
boil and serve with pieces of toasted
bread.
ToMATOEs-Nothing else, except pota-
toes, supplies better standard article of
food through the whole year. Cooked
with plenty of bread crumbs they furnish
a very palatable and nOurishiDg table dish,
especially from December to June, when
fresh garden vegetables are not abundant.
Having sometimes failed with glass jars,
we now use tin cans, 10 inches long and
4 II inches in diameter (cut from sheet of
tin 10x14 inches, and cheaply made) A
hole, say y inch in diameter, is left In
one end. The tomatoes, in large quantity
at time, are cooked well, as for the table,
but without salt. They are poured into
the cans hot, and bit of tin we'll soldered
on. We put up Is to 40 cans at time,
and call in tinman to do the soldering,
as we have large number of cans ready
at time. Thus closely sealed they will
keep perfectly month, year, or five
years. To provide against poor year,
and insure q full supply always, We pat
them up for one or two years In advance.
Scald the emptied cans and set them away
dry, and they can be used several times
with little help from the tinman to
smooth the heads.-Anaer. Igricutturist.
CURE FOR FOUNDER.-S0me time since,
saws the Western Rural, we noticed an ar
ticle going the rounds OF the press, as
cure for founder -laneness OccasiOned by
ntiammatory fever in the foot Of horse.
Not Onsidering it of much account, we
did not note 1t at the time recently, how
ever, we met with a friend who has tried
| the remedy, and assures us that IL is q sure
cure, and as it is SO easily tried, we will
| publish it for the benefit of our many
readers. The remedy is as follows "Clean
out the bottom of the foot thoroughly
| hold up the leg SO IS to bring the bottom
of the hOOf upward, holding it firmly in q
horizontal position, and pour in, say
tablespoonful Of spirits Of turpcntiGe, if
the cavity of the hoOf will hold that
much if not, pour in what it will hold
without danger of running over; touch
the turpcntine with red hot iron; this
will set it on fire hold the hoof firmly in
position until all burns out Great care
must be taken that none runs over on the
hair of the hOof lest the skin be burned.
1t all the feet are affected burn turpeu-
tine iii each of them. Relief will speedily
follow and the animal be ready for service
in a short time"
THERE is a great difference between
drying grass and curing it. To ensure a
good article OF hay we must take little
more time in the process of hay making
than seems to be generally done. Sup
pose field of 10 acres is to be cut, the
mower should be started as early as posi-
bic i'll the morning, and by noon the
whole field will be done. If the weather
is dry the tedder should start at A. m,
beginning where the mower began and
/ following the same rounds as The mower,
till the whole field has been teddcd over :;
rs soon as that is done, the tedder should
! begin again where il first began, and go
ever the ground in the same way, till the
grass has all been tcdded twice. An
hour or two after the tedder has com
menced its second tedding, the horse nav
rake should be started, following the same
! course of rounds as the tedder and as
soon as sufficient is raked up TO form
cocks, every available man and boy on
the place should be put to the work of
cooking, and the whole Of the grass made
into solid well-made cocks before the
evening dews begin to fall. These cocks
should stand all next day, while another
field is being put through the same
