smashed potatoes left from dinner the day
before, mix them smooth with little hot
milk and butter, put them by spOonfulls
into an iron biscuit-pan previously heated,
and brown them in hot oven. They are
very light and nice.
To REMOVE OLD IRON MoUID.--It 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, plow 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 .f

AN exchange says that a great economy
in the manufacture of bread is secured by
the following proc So Gluten to the
amount of ten or twelve per cent. is eX
tracted by boiling water from bran, and
the -four 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 benef
cial, preventing headache or 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 FaIHler, a most careful and ex'
emplary farmer, purchased last spring a
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. It's
beneficial effects were quite marked, es-
pecially upon crop Of peas, although
| the gentleman says he believes him
self that he used larger quantity than
was necessary. -s
THE CASTOR BEAN.-The California
Farmer says: Thus far, all who have
raised the Castor Bean-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 for 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; al 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, msking.a good reser-
yoir then inserted II 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.

NEVER fill kerosene lamps after dark,
but always in day time. Never allow
lamp. to be placed on mantle-pieco,
whetlier tile room has CRATE or stove
fire, as the heat of the same will cause
the oil to be more in1ammable and more
liable to explode when lighted. 1t is
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 or crusty; trim 1t fire.
