USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

CHIcKENs.-A correspondent of the |
Farm Journal states that for some seven |
wears his chickens have been kept free |
from lice by strewinR small branches OF |
sprays of cedar about the henery. Pre-. |
vious to the use of this remedy they were |
badly infested. No whitewashing or other
nhans TO expel vermin had been used.
To REMOVE SPoTs OF GREASE FROM
PRINTED BooKs-The spot should be
moistened with o camel-hair pencil, dip
ped in rectifed spirits of turpentine
when it is dry, moisten II with little
spirits of wine, which will effectually re-
move any stain the turpentine may have
left
CuRRANT CHEEsE- CAKES Lime some
patty-pans with paste then fill each with
a few currants, little grated nutmeg,
some candied peel, and a tablespoonful Of
the following custard half pint of milk,
one egg. Mix q small tablespoonful of
ground rice to a smooth paste with a little
Of the milk then put the rest on the fire.
When 1t boils, pour it on the rice, stirring
the while. Sweeten to taste, and add the
egg
SEVERAL correspondence srcommend the
use of permanganate of potassa for puri-
flying water from the impurities derived
from coal smoke. Enough of the salt to
give the faintest possible tinge TO the
water is recommended TO be added, and as
the coloring property of this salt is very
great, little used in this way would purify
a large quantity of water. After stand
ing twenty -four hours the impurities will
all be precipitated, and the sudsing
property of the water is not impaired.
ANTI RUST VARNIsH, OR VARN1sH FOR
IRON AND STEEL RoDs.-Take the follow
ing ingredients, 1,2, 0, in pounded con-
dition, and digest them by regular heat
till melted, then add the turpentine very
gradually, stirring all the while /. Resin,
100 parts. 2. Sahdarac, 1S0 parts. 8. Gum
lac, go parts. A. Essence Of turpentine,
100 parts. The mixture should be digested
until dissolution; then add--Rectifed al
cohol, 100 parts. Filter through fine cloth,
or thick bibulous papers, and preserve in
well-stoppered bottlee,or cases. 1t will be
found very effective in preserving things
from rust.-Scientitic american.
STUFFED LRG OF PoRK.-Make deep
incisions in the meat parallel to the bone
trim 1t 30 as to leave the skin longer than
the flesh; then boil some potatoes, when
they are done, mash them with piece of
butter, cayenne pepper, salt and an onion
With this dressing fill the incisions, draw
the skin down and skewer it over to keen
the dressing from falling out season the
outside of the meat with salt, cayenne
pepper and rubbed sage; roast it slowly
when 1t is done, pour the gravy into q
pan, skim OFT the fat, and add little floul
mixed with water let 1t boil once. Some
prefer a dressing made of bread crumbs
instead of potatoes.
RIoB.-The following Is the African
method of boiling rice, obtained from {
person who resided in Liberia To on,
: pint of rice, take three pints of water. TIT
, water must be boiling when the rice is pu
, into it. First, wash the rice in cold water
but do not let it remain in the water; q
soon as the rice is washed, put it into thu
: boiling water. Boil it as hard as possible
, for about five minutes; then drain off tn
4 water, and let the rice remain in the pd
4 over hot embers, to steam. 1t is necessa
| ry to redeem the embers once, and Civ
!, the pot shake. Keep 1T covered close
e When the rice is sufficiently done, tn
n grams will be whole, and swelled up.
a How TO KEEP Eaas.-As frequent en-
: quiries are made in your paper as to tn
best method of keeping eggs, will SEN
one which we have used several year
with success. Take lump of quick lin
as large as quart measure; slake 1t in
d common water pail; dissolve half pin
of coarse salt and add to it-then fill tn
pail with water, and let it stand until eI
y tirely settled-then pour the clear liqui
: over the eggs, which must be set on tn
J. small end, in jar or tub, after havin
;. been minutely examined to see that non
d are cracked. Eggs put up in this wa
r last May, are perfectly fresh now. Th
It eggs can be held in place by plate or
If little bit of slate laid on them before poul
IS ing on the lime water.-Fdrm Journal.

h FILL LAMPS IN THE MORNING.
e Scarcely week passes, during the wintt
;, months, but we read accounts of frightfl
!. accidents from kerosene lamps explodin
70 and killing or soaring for life women an
~ children. A simple knowledge of the il
% tiammable nature of the fluid would prob
bly, put stop to nearly all the accident
r. As the oil burns down into the lamp,
q highly intlammable gas gathers ov,
a a its surface, and as the oil decreases, Il
r. gas increases. When the oil is near
q consumed, a slight jar will often infian
- the gas, and an explosion is sure to folloy
# dealing out death and destruction.
4 bombshell is not more to be dreade
h Now, If the lamp is not allowed to bul
# more than half way down, such acciden
a are almost impossible. Always fill yo,
= lamps in the morning; then you ne,
never fear an exnloaion - H0nSehnId
