The Agriculturist gives this remedy
for founders: AS soon as the horse is
found to be stiff, swab the legs and feet
with hot water-so hot that the hand can
not bear to touch it, but not so hot as to
scald. After a short time the legs should
be rubbed dry and the horse gently exer-
cised. Has never known this to fail to
remedy the trouble.
--Appledore Pudding apudding
dish with stale cake. Fill it within three
inches of the top with berries or currants.
Allow halt-cup of sugar to swell berries,
and one cup of currants or anything tart.
Cover the whole with cake, and wet it
with halfcup of wine. Bake half an
hour, and frost it with the whites of two
eggs and one cup of sugar beaten to a
stiff froth Return it TO the oven, and let
it brown slightly.
--Gelatine Pudding-One-half box of
galatine dissolved in one-half pint of cold

The NeD Yorker says that the skin OF
| an animal, whether COW, calf, colt OF
horse that dies on the farm, is worth
more at home than at the tanners. Cut il
into narrow strips, and shave off the hair
with sharp knife before the kitchen fire
or in your workshop, on stormy days and
evenings. You may make them soft by
rubbing. A rawhide halter. strap an inch
wide will hold horse better and last
longer than an inch rope, IL is stronger
than hoop-iron and more durable, and
may be used to hoop dry casks and boxes,
and for hinges. Try it on a broken thill
or any woodwork that has been split.
Put it On wet and nail fast. Thin skins
make the best bag-strings in the world
A raw-hide rope is good substitute for a
chain. 1t is valuable to mend broken
link in trace chain. For some purposes
it is best to use it in its natural state. For
some purposes it may be dressed soft.
Economy in Cooking.-I sometimes
economy, especially in cooking, is mean.
ness. People who have everything TO buy
soon learn, if they are attentive, that but
ter and eggs and sugar are very expensive
items in the family. They ar all good in
their place, but they are often used so
freely as to interfere greatly with the COM
fort and prosperity of the family.
"Lucy Maria" observes that "house-
keepers add grease and sweeten-
ing at the approach of company" 1t
does seem that some people imagine that
good cooking consists in using a great
proportion of shortening, sweetening and
Tightening in the way Of butter, lard and
eggs. They pile these into things that
would be quite good enough, and far
more digestible without them. Are these
the people who cannot afford to buy nice
fruit--to say nothing of books and news
papersS Are they the ones who think it
extravagant to get good playthings for the
