IA summer or fall, and asserts l.
That early fall seeding without grain
should be adopted in practice in pre-,
ference to seeding in spring. 2. That,
as general rule, it is poor economy to
take any grain crop either with or i'm
.mediately preceding the seeding down
to grass. That the grass being the ulti-
mate and paying crop, it is bad prac-
tice to reduce the land by the draft
which grain crop makes upon it. 3.
That wherever, from any local reason,
it becomes desirable to take crop of
spring grain, it is more economical to
SOW the grain alone in the spring, and
to pillow up the stubble and SOW the
grass seed alone in the early fall. 4.
That IN cases where it seems desirable
TO SOW grass seed in spring, it is bet
ter to SOW it alone, and let it take it's
chance, without compelling it to strug-
gle for existence under the disadvan-
tages of grain or any other crop. 5.
That in seeding down in August or ear
ly IL. September, we are following ma
ture as to time, aud that, unless the
ground IS already rich and in high
condition, 1t is necessary to give the
seed the benefit of an application of
manure on or near the surface to which
the seed is applied. 6. That in the
selection of seed for moving lots and
hay, we should choose varieties to mix
that blossom at or nearly at the same
time, and not mix very early and very
late varieties together.
The Home.
Corn FRITTERs. Crate SIX ears Of
corn, add one tablespoonful of flour,
and two eggs, pepper and salt to your
taste, to be fried like oysters
IODINE AND Bo1Ls. As soon as q
boil becomes hard and infamed paint
it with iodine. The poison will not be
scattered, but viii be absorbed by it.
SMOKY LAMPs.-To preventive smok-
ing of a lamp, soak the wick IN strong
vinegar, and dry it well before you use
it; it will then burn bright and clear,
and amply repay you for the trifing
labor.
/ How TO MAKE PUDDING QUICK
Split few crackers, lay the surface
over with raisins, and place the halves
together again ; tie them closely in a
cloth, and boil fifteen minutes in milk
and water. With rich sauce it is
elegant.
pound of gelatine or fine glue in water,
and add one quarter of a pound of
brown sugar; boil The whole until
sufficiently thick to become solid on
cooling; pour it on a slab slightly
creased, and when cool cut into the
required shape.
TOMATO CUsTARD. This is said to be
a beneficial diet for consumetives. It
is made by straining finely stewed
| tomatoes through a coarse seive, and
adding two pints of milk and one pint
of tomatoes, for four eggs and one
teaspoonful of sugar. Bake in small
cups quickly.
SUGAR FOR GLAZING CAKES. Put
into a vessel with a little water, the
white of one egg well beaten, and stir
red well into the water; let it boil, and
while boiling, throw in a few drops of
cold water. Then stir in a cup of
pounded sugar This must boil to a
foam, then be used, this makes beau
tiful glazing for cakes.
F. aFooTH WASH. Dissolve two ounces
Of borax in three pints of water; before
quite cold add one teaspoonful in tine
ture of myrrh and one tablespoonful of
spirits of camphor; bottle for use. A
wineglassful of the solution added to a
I half pint of tepId water is sufficient for
each application. This solution ap-
piled regularly preserves and beauti-
ties the teeth, arrests decay, aud in
duces a healthy action of the gums.
HERE is hint for housekeepers, and
a very important enc. Merely cover
ing up a bed with blankets and coun
Esternanes will no more protect it from
dampness and keep it dry than pane
of glass VIII keep out light The at
mospheric moisture will penetrate all
weven fabrics. Hence the Importance
of keeping the beds in spare rooms
regularly aired. Many dear friend
or welcome visitors has been sent to an
untimely grave, or afflicted for life
with disease, by being put into a bed
which had been permitted to stand I'M
occupied. Keep the spare beds when
not in use free from all covering but a
| light spread.
= HOME MADE CANDY.-Use a new tin
basin put into it four tablespoons of
water, one pound of coffee A" sugar,
one teaspoonful of good cream tartar !;
boil, stirring constantly to avoid burn
ing. After it begins to have a soapy
appearance try it often by dropping a
little ixto cold water, and if done it
will at once becomes brittle. Butter
an earthern dish and pour the hot candy
into it, that it may cool just enough to
handle. Flavor to taste with oil of
peppermint, wintergreen, sassafras or
lemon. Two drops of oil will favor it
strong. For variety, divide into three
or four parts and flavor differently by
touching one kind of oil to each. Work
i'll the hands at once; the more it is
pulled the winter 1t viii get. ..
