work is done IN moist weather, and as
much earth as possible is left around
the roots, or, In other words, if the
suckers are taken,up, as gardeners say,
with n ball, they can be transplant

save a years time by this plan Ii the
ground is rich, and you mulch the
young plants, they will bear a small
crop the next season.
| Valuable and Practical Recipes.
To Re JAPAN.-Oid trays may be re.
| japanned by the following process (:
First clean them thoroughly with soap
and water and a little rotten stone :;
then wipe them by drying and exposure
to the fire. Next, get some good opal
varnish, mix 1t with some bronze pow
der, and apply with a brush to the
denuded parts. After which set the
tray IT an oven at heat of DO degrees
to 800 degrees until the varnish Is dry.
Two coats will make them equal to

CLEANING STovEs.-Stove lustre. when
mixed with turpentlne and applied in
the usual manner Is blacker, more
glossy, and more durable than when
mike with any other.liquid. The tur-
pentIne prevents rust, and when put
on an old rusty stove. will make il
look as well as new.
To CEMENT WOOD TO GLASS. Make
solution of isinglass in acetic acid So
thick as to be solid when cold Heat
this and apply it. This has been test
ed by fastening the ends of a glass
tube to pine wood; the wood gave way
sooner than the cement.

To PUr Down Oh CLOTHS.
cloths should never be tackled down
when first purchased. They have in.
variably been rolled. and OF course will
shrink some after being laid. Unroll
them, place them smoothly on the floor,
wrong side up, and use them so for a
week or even two. Then turn them,
and tack them to the floor. This meth
Cd prevents their rolling up and crack
ing, as We often see new oil cloth do.

Boil them over a steady fire. four or
FIVE hours. When sufficiently done.
remove the meat, and strain the broth
through sieve; then pour 1t into an

If it be wished that the Jelly should
he clear, the whites of two eggs NAV
be beaten up In tablespoonful of stock
broth, and added to it,and well mixed
1t must then be boiled for seven or
eight minutes. Some lemon is then to
be added, and the contents of the stew
pan strain through fine Gotten strain
er, taking care not to squeeze the cloth,
OF the dregs may be forced through
the pores of the material. The filter
ed jelly is then put III cold place to
set when it has become perfectly solid

pieces, which are arranged on the dish,
around the piece of meat. Sometimes
the jelly Is colored before strained by
the addition of little cochineal Cor.
