and one cup of butter boiled together;
when cold add one third of cup of
ginger, one tablespoonful OF soda, flour
enough to roll. Roll thin and bake.
CARBoLNE is said to destroy all insects,
and, in weak solution of water, will
prevent flies from teasing horses, if they
are washed with it, care being taken not
to get it into the eyes. Pennyroysl,
stepped in water, used as wash, will
produce similar effect.
WHEN q horse refuses to eat, he should
not be made to do any more service that
day, for it may be known that he is tired
out or sick. 1t il barbarOus to compel a
horse to perform labor when in such a
condition that ne refuses grain, yet it is
often done, and by men, too, who think
they are merclful.
PEARL BARLEY PUDDNG.-Boil one
and half cups of pearl barley in an
earthern pipkin or hominy boiler, five
or six hours or until very soft. To three
cups of this boiled barley, add two cups
chopped apple, one cupraisins previously
stewed for half an hour), and one half cup
of currants, the juice OF one lemon, and
one cup sugar. Mix thoroughly, put into
an earthern pudding, dish and bake in q
moderate oven one and half hours.
To DESTROY REACHES, RTc.-Go to a
drug store and buy pound of powdered
borsX; scatter the borax on the shelves
and other places where the rOsches or
ants DO congregate, aud they will soon
disappear. We have tried il on the large
black reaches, large black ants, and little
| yellow ants, with equal success. The
borex may also be perhaps an equally
sure remedy for other vermin. In any
event, there is no danger in trying it, ss It
is harmless drug.-Phtddelphia EUeaiHg

A Coon WORD FOR THE CRow.-A cor.
| respondent of an English paper, sdvocat.
ing the protection OF the crow, states that
having shot crows in q corn field, he open
ed their stomachs, expecting to find them
full of wheat. On the contrary, he dis
! covered that they contained large num-
Der Of caterpillars, whose ravages upon
| the crop were quite evident. Before
farmers become perfectly ruthless in their
destruction of birds round their farms, it
might be well for them to repeat this eX-
pertinent and ascertain which are their
friends and which their enemies.
SWOLLEN UDDFR-The Toronto Globe
says Swollen bag, or Inflammation ofthe
udder, is usually treated best by cold ap.
plications. Apply q broad web of cloth
around the COW, and cut holes in it TO
keep out the teats, Then place some tow
between the cloth and the udder, and
keep it constantly moist with cold water.
Give good dose of purgatiVe medicine,
as three'qu6rters of pound of EPSON
salts, dissolved in three quarts of water.
When the swelling subsidies, hand-Iub the
udder several times day, and give inter-
naly one drachm of the iodide of pOtas-
SUM daily for eight or ten days. The
COW should be kept in cool box OF stall,
and not exposed to the hot sun.
ASSERTING PoTAToEs.-The proper
time to assort potatoes is just as soon as
they ara dug, and while scattered over the
field. at this time every tuber can be
plainly seen, ard no extra handling ia re-
quired in asserting the large from the
small, as will be necessary ifall are picked
up together. The boys win want to be
in school next winter, and asserting DO.
tstoes in a cold cellar, either evenings or
on vacation days, is not the most agTeea-
BILE recreation. We hope they will insist
ON saving themselves from this disagreea-
bic task by having the potatoes assorted at
the proper time and in the proper place,

DESTROYING WREDs.-In many fields,
the fence corners are full of rank, coarse
weeds. TIE potato and corn fields on
some farms are no better, and it is moi
economy to allow this mass to fall dow n
and rot on the same spot where it has
grown, but it should either be gathered
together and burned or placed in the
rot-heap. We prefer burning, as The
seeds will then be destroyed, and manure
n ade from weedsis seldom of much value
II only requires little torethought OF
calculation on the part of the farmer to
hnd time for attending to these little mat
teEs at the proper season. There are
farmers who always manage TO keep every
thing in order, and do not work nearly al
hard to do it as others, whose places arr
IN the widest confusion, the differenc,
being the result Of calculation Heart
