VEAL CRooUETTEs. - Take very fine minced veal, meisten it with cream and a beaten egg. Season with pepper. salt, sweet maioram and little pounded mace. Form into small cones, either by hand or in wine-glas3: crumb the outside, and fry, or else set in the oven and bake, basting frequently.
 CREAM PUFFs-One pint of water, one-half pound of butter, three-quarters of pound of flour, ten eggs. Boil the water and butter together, and stir in the four while boiling. Take it off from the stove to cool, and when cold break in the eggs and stir them thoroughly, but not beat them. Then add teaspoon full of water. Drop into pan with . spoon, and bake in quick oven twenty minutes.
 HORSE DIsTEMPER.-The best mode to treat horse distemper is to feed plenty of bran mashes, and poultice the throat with bran or turnips, and as soon as the swelling begins to soften, if it does not break, it should be opened with knife. Also smoke the nostrils with old boot leather, in kettle or tin, once a day, which helps to loosen the discharge from those parts. Do not get him wet or ex- posed to cold, and he will certainly come round all right.
 THE INDIAN WAY WITH CoRN.-M. B. Wade, Bridgefeld, Conn. I beg to offer the Club the plan of preserving sweet-corn in Winter which we have fol- lowed very successfully in our family for several years. We take the corn right from the hill and remove some of the husks, but not all, and put it iu the stove-oven, and leave t-there from 20 to30 minutes. Then take it out, take off the rest of the husks, and with two tined fork strip the corn from the cob, put on dishes and return to the oven to dry. This is the Indian method, only instead of the oven they use hot stones and burn the corn until cooked, and then dry in the sun. ="@ =
 NARROWING CoRN.-A correspondent of the Western Farmer gives the follow ing description of how he harrows his corn: I commence just as soon as the corn comes up and continue as needed, to keep soil loose and weeds out of sight, until it is so tall the harrow will hreak 1t off if used. There is nothing so need full to secure 8 crop of corn, with our short seasons, as frequent stirring of the soiiwhen 1t is in it's first stages of growth, and no tool will do this so cheaply or so thoroughly in the hill as the rightly con- structed harrow harrow back and forth till have my land as I desire. If the corn is rowed both ways of the field, the second narrowing should cross the first, the third, the second. and so on. have not had failure in four years with Dent corn on my white, heavy cold soil.
 CARE OF HORSES AT NIGHT. T.-Few men who handle horses give proper attention to tbe feet and leg. Especially is this the case on farms Much time is spent of a morning in rubbing, brushing and smoothing the hairgon the sides and hips, but at no time are the feet exam. ined and properly cared for. Now, be it known, that the feet of horse require more care than the body. They need ten times as much, for in one respect they are almost the entire horse. All the grooming that can be done won't avail anything if the horse is forced to stand where his feet will be filthy. Tn this case the feet will become disordered, and then the legs will get badly out of fix; and with bad feet and bad legs, there is not much else of the horse fit fo1 anything. Stable prisons are generally severe on the feet and legs of horses and unless these buildings can afford a dry room, where horse can walk around, lie down, or roll over. they are not hall so healthy to the horse as the pasture, and should be avoided by all good hos. tiers in the country.-North Britisk Re pieaD.
