How TO Cook Old Fowls.
For the possible benefit to so me other
young housekeepers, wish to tell them
how to cook an old chicken. Prepare
as for roasting, then boil three hours in
q covered pot with one quart of water,
to which add two tablespoonful of vine
gar; after which put into pan in hot
oven for about one hour, to brown. The
liquor in the pot to be prepared for
gravy; should the water boil away too
much, more should be added. The result
is, the meat is as tender as young chicken,
and some think richer and better.
Boston Rolls.
Take two quarts of flour, one pint of
milk, butter size of an egg, half cup of
sugar, half cup of yeast, half teaspoon
full of soda. Scald the milk, and when
tepid put it with the other ingredients in
the centre of the flour, and mix in
enough of the flour TO make a sponge; let
it rise IL hours; if light, .knead in the
rest of the flour for Is minutes, and let it
rise till light; then knead Is minutes
more, roll out half an inch thick in cir
cles size of a saucer, spread with butter,
double the buttered surfaces together, and
let rise few hours, until light enough to
bake.
Now TO Make Soap.
The ashes should be put in the Chop
per" or leach, week or two before,
slightly dampened, and about a peck of
slaked lime added alternately with bar
rel of ashes. When you begin to 'trun
down" your I've do not put on water (soft
water is besD only just sufficient to cause
it to triCkle slowly. Fill an iron kettle
that will hold ten gallons about one third
full of the I've, bring to boil, and if it
causes the beard of the feather to sepa-
rate readily from the stem it is strong
enough; if not, boil till it will. Now
add the grease (Which should be nice and
Clean) til it begins to thicken; boil it one
hour, and then taste by merely touching
it to the tongue. If it causes the tongue
to smart, it is too strong; add more
grease. If it is too weak, add more lye,
boil briskIy, and stir all the time after the
grease is put in. After boiling three or
four hours, drop from the griddle a few
drops in pan of cold water. If it falls
to the bottom in drops, and leaves grease
floating on the water, add more I've and
boil longer, until by this test no grease
floats. II is then done, and you have soft
soap.
To make hard soap of this, put about a
pint of salt to three gallons of soft soap and
boil till the salt is all dissolved. Then
take two quarts of I've that will ''bear an
egg" and one quart of soft water. Pour
all in kettle while boiling, stirring it
well at the time. Let it stand until cold;
cut off the top, throw the lye which re
mains in the bottom out, clean the kettle;
put pint of strong I've in the kettle with
your soap, boil till all is melted; add |
about the same quantity of salt I've and |
water as at the first boiling; stir well, let |
it cool thoroughly, then cut out and place |
the pieces on board in dry place.

THE WEIGHT OF SEEDS AND
BEST TIME OF SOWING,

The following table, giving the weights
Of the various kinds of seeds, and the
time of sowing, will be foundvery useful
to every farmer Clover should be sown
upon The first SHOWS or freezes that occur
after New Year. 1t can be more evenly
sown that way, and the gradual melt
ings of the SHOW or thawing of the
ground settle the seeds upon the very
spot where they are sown, while the soft
condition of the earth, after such melt
ings, enables the seeds by their weight to
bury themselves beneath the surface
ready for termination. In this latitude
we should never advise the sowing of
timothy or herdsgrass in the spring. That
sown in September or October is much
more hardy and have a suficiency of
roots TO resist the burning July suns.
With these two exceptions we see moth
ing in the table unsuited to our latitude.
The best time to SOW the following seeds
is marked "p."
