Graham Recipes.

GRAHAM BREAD Q.)ENix half pint
OF yeast with quart of lukewarm water,
or milk and water Gwo-thirds milk and
one-thlrd water), stir this into about a pint
of aoheat flour, and add graham flour
enough to make stiff batter. Let it rise,
IN warm place, over night. In the
morning, add teacup of molasses, a tea
spoonful OF salt, a teaspoonful of soda,
and graham flour enough to make bat
ter as Aitf as can be stirred with a table
spoon. Put in tins to rise (fill them more
than half full, let them stand until the
loaves are light, and bake about an hour
This makes three 1Oaves of bread, if baked
In pint pans. Be sure to mold the dough
into loaves as soon as it is light, as un-
bolted flour runs into the acetous fermen-
tation much more rapidly than bolted or
superfine flour. Unbolted flour requires
somewhat thinner or softer sponge, and
should be baked little longer than loaves
OF the same weight made of bolted flour.
Soda is not essential if the yeast i. lively.
Yeast should be well mixed with milk
warm water before being added to the
flour.
GRAHAM BREAD (2.HUse one pint of
wheat-bread rising, Is teacup of molasses
or sugar, teaspoon of salt, 15 teaspoon
full of supercarbonate of soda dissolved in
a little warm water, 1 quart or more OF
graham meal. The batter must not be as
thick as ordinary bread-dough pour the
mixture into bread-pans, or small forms
as deep as you want the thickness of the
loaf. Set the batter to rise and bake it in
quick oven cover the bread with thick
paper during the first half-hour while
baking. ~.

An Excellent Fertilizer.

As top-dressing for fruit trees, vines,
grain crops or garden crops of any sort,
on ground that has been somewhat ex-
hausted by cultivation, the. preparation
described below viii be found very useful.
1t would improve the mixture, however,
to add to the ashes about peck of good,
newly Stacked lime, which would bring
the potash of the ashes to a caustic state
and enable it more speedily to soften and
dissolve the bones which, when lime is
thus used, need not be necessary in the
absence of the quicklime. With its use
in this way, and with a sufficiency of
good unleached wood ashes, or bones
which have merely been cracked up with
the hammer, may be easily softened:
Take one barrel of pure, finely ground
bone, and mix with it barrel of good
wood ashes; during the mixing, add grad
ually about three pailfuls of water. The
heap may be made upon the floor of an
outbuilding, or upon the barn floor; and,
by the use of the hoe, the bone and the
ashes must be thoroughly blended to-
gether. The water added is Just sufficient
to llberate the caustic alkalies, potash, and
soda; and these react upon the gelatine of
the bone, dissolving the little atoms, form
ing kind of soap, and fitting it for
plant aliment. 1t must be used in small
quantities, or in about the same way as
the so-called superphosphates. A barrel
OF this mixture is worth two of any of
the commercial fertilizers, and the cost
will be but about half as much. 1t re-
mains to be added: If the bone meal and
ashes are very dry, four pailfuls of water
may be required, but care must be exer.
cised not to have it inconveniently moist
1t may be ready for use in a week after il
is made. Pure, raw, Underground bone
and the best of ashes should be employed.

With my somewhat extensive experience
in "out-door lodgings" in sixteen differ

somewhat of an epicure in my choice of
beds. About the worst sort of lodgings

after that when this alternative presented
itself, as it sometimes did, preferred to

to-day. We do not mean to intimate that
pretty toys are not desirable for children.
1t is one of the pleasantest features of the
holidays that so large proportion of the
sales go to brighten the lives of children
But let the selection of toys be wise and
judicious Give your boy and girl as
much as possible to do for themselves in
their play. Let invention and imagina-
ton have ample scope-these faculties
will work fast enough if only they are not
hindered. One almost fears, while exam
ming the comprehensive catalogues of
toys which wholesale dealers issue, that
the wonderful inventions will all start off
and play among themselves, and leave
the children nothing to do but to stand
and look on. When you choose holiday
gifts, bear in mind the universal desire of
childhood to bring into active exercise all
the unfolding faculties-to dc. something.

Wind Calls or Puffs.

WIND gals generally affect the hind
legs, and are technically called bursal
enlargements. Horse are frequently
affected with them for years without in
juring their working qualities, and they
are not considered as an unsoundness, yet
horsemen are anxious to remove them.
But their permanent cure is no easy
matter. Most of the remedies applied
have no real value. Pressure is the SIM
plest and best remedy. A piece of soft rag
folded several times, saturated with wa
ter and on this lay one dram of opium
and camphor; place this on the wind
gall. Then place on the wetted rag a
piece of flattened cork as large as the
wind gall and over the cork lace rubber
or elastic bandage, which will give uni
form pressure upon the wind gall In
stead of the camphor and opium, a
solution of carbolic acid may be used to
wet the rag. This constant pressure will
soon reduce the swelling, but the bandage
should be-kept on constantly while in the
stable and only taken off when the horse
goes to its work. The bandage wet with
water alone will do where the other
remedies are not at hand. Blisters are
sometimes used, but cure in this way is
no more permanent than that of pressure.
A hard pull or strain will bring them on
again with either mode of cure.-Lirt

Experiences and Impressions in the
Far Vest.

WE take the following extracts from a
letter of Max. Clark to the Baraboo wis J
Republican,:
Toward noon, as we approached Chey-
enne, the mountains appeared in sight, at
distance of almost a hundred miles.
Majestic enough they looked, glistening
with snow in the heat of summer. Still,
to person who has only heard of noun
tains capped with everlasting snow, and
who has moro than likely conceived of a
wall projecting perpendicularly into the
air all the way from ten to thirty thou
sand feet, they generally prove d disap-
pointment at first sight. \ nearer view,
however, or an attempt to walk around or
climb over one, has the effect to reinstate
all of that respect which Mr.. Bsecher says
he feels fer one of natures big hills ever
since he undertook to make an artificial
one. Though, Mr.. Editor, it has always
been theory of scientific men that the
hills were continually washing down and
fillingu the valleys, was unable, strange
to say, to note any diminution in their

Eccentricities of California Husbands.

Every old Californian, having in "'49"
baked his own bread and boiled his BEANS
deems himself good family cook. He
maintains even a greater conceit than
this; he deems himself cook superior
to any woman in the world, when he
chooses to concentrate his mind on culin-
ary affairs. On such man, when duly
married, there breaks out once or twice a
year a culinary mania. He must cook
he will cook. He watches the opportu-
nifty when his wife has prolonged her af-
ternoon visit little longer than usual
He invades the kitchen. He kindles
fire in the stove. Before kindling that
fire he leaves open every door in the
house, from cellar to garret. He turns
the damper wrong. The stove smokes
the wrong way He draws water in the
wrong bucket to fill the tea-kettle. These
things are terrible to mention, but they
are often done in California. He throws
potato and other vegetable parings in the
cleanest pail he can find. Wherever he
walks and whatever he touches he leaves
"muss." He leaves knives, forks and
| spoons all oyerthe house also, dish-rags;
he puts one of these in his pocket. He
| ceases to be rational or accountable be-
| ing. An old male California cook, mar
ried and in his wife's kitchen, is not a
well-spring of pleasure.
He brings all the frying-pans he can
! find into use. He sets their sooty bot
| toms on the clean pine table. He con-
| templates making tea. He reflects as to
the quantity he used in the mines for a
C making" He cannot recollect exactly.
He Grams several fistfnls into the teapot.
He will have enough, any way No one
who drinks thereof sleeps that night.
Nervous He essays to make biscuit.
He wonders how much saleratus they
used in the mines to get a good rise on.
He uses enough. He kneads his dough,
and wandering vacantly about the house,
leaves tracks of flour at every step. 1t is
in the porlor, on the door-knobs, on the
can cook better than any woman in the
world if he "was only a-mind to give his
mind to it." This conceit is never to be
taken out of him. 1t is peculiar to all
old Californians for he made bread in
mines. 1t was good bread, too-good to
kill. They say two "pardners who
"cabined with him died of heavy-bread
indigestion. He was given twenty foul
hours to leave that camp Now we see
him ravishing his wife's kitchen. He has
burned up all the choice newspapers lying
about, which the folks wanted to read
He is using Iable-butter to cook with, and
sets the cooking-butter on the table
Things fall into that dough-bUttons
matches, and bits of coal.
In the midst of all this culinary riot
chaos, smoke, grease, SCOT, rags, and flour
the wife comes home. She opens the hal
door, and is oppressed by the cloud Of
smoke. She knows then that the culinary
fit is on her husband. She steps into the
kitchen. There he stands, red heated

The Kings Mistake.

A number of politicians, all of whom
were seeking Office under the government,
were seated under a tavern porch, when
an old topper named Joel D., person who
was very louuacious when corned, but eX-
actly the opposite when sober, said that
he would tell them story. They told
him to " fire away" whereupon he spoke
as follows ga certain King-I don't
recollect his name-had a philosopher
upon whose judgment he always depend
ed. Now it happened one day that the
King took it into his head to go hunting,
and summoned his mobiles, and making
the necessary preparations, he summoned
the philosopher and asked him if it would
rain. The philosopher told him it would
not, and they started. While journeying
along, they met countryman mounted
on jackass.
"He advised them to return, for, said
he, it will certainly rain, They smiled
contemptuously upon him, and then
passed on. Before they had gone many
miles, however, they had reason to regret
not having taken the rustic's advice, as a
shower coming up drenched them to the
skin. When they had returned to the
palace, the King reprimanded the philoso,
pher severely.
