tender and slice them thin on plate.

in the oven, or before the fire; put them

Relief for Burns.-A quick cure Is to
apply layer of common salt and satu-
rate it with laudanum. Hold 1t in place
an hour or so by simple bandage. The

The Irish people are the greatest po-
tato eaters in the world, snd know all
about cooking that fine esculent We
copy their mode of boiling potatoes from
an Irish paper: "Put the potatoes in q
pot or kettle without lid or cover. and
with water Just sufficient to cover them.
After the water comes nearly to boil
pour 1t off, and replace it with cold water,
into which throw good portion of salt.
The cold water sends the heat from the
surface to the heart, and makes the
potato mealy. After they are boiled and
the water poured off, let them stand on
the fire fifteen minutes to dry"
I'm these days of gas and of kerosene,
we need not make many candles, but
there are, in every family. scraps of beet
and mutton tallow, which can be thrown
into the soap grease jar or made inu
mold candles, as preferred; and we Otter
find few candles handy to have in tn
house. All odds and ends of grease tha
are not tallow, and yet are not fit for fry
! ing purposes, should be ''tried down" Il
extract the water, and then added to tn
!, contents of the soap-grease jar, until
sufficient number of pounds is obtaine,
to make, with the help of a can of con
densed potash, twelve gallons of goo
soft-soap, or about twenty pounds of mic
hard soap. Directions for making ar
I given with each can of the potash.
Poultry Disease-Technically calle
: Ornicephalymosis, is prevailing fearful
: throughout the United States. The sicl
: ness attacks the fowls in the head, an
: runs its course in from ten to eightee
! hours. Its first form is of cold or il
: fuenza, which gradually changes to tn
y diphtheria, slime begins to be emitte
: from the beak, which is soon followed b
: staggering fits until the chicken dies. TIL
disease is creating great excitement i
> the markets of New York and Philade
y phia. There are certain infallible signs
= ! however, by which the diseased poulr
may be known. The breast has a dar

In the Wisconsin Dairymen's Assoc
alton, at the closing session, the colorin
of cheese bandages was discussed, with
general expression that it was not neca

is in demand in all the leading market
e moderate coloring is safest The que

a which grain and stock raising might |
