CHEAP CAKE Two cups flour. one
OF sugar, one of sweet milk, five table,
spoonfuls butter, two eggs, one tea
spoonful cream tartar, one half of
soda.
CREAM CAKE.-Three teacupfuls of
sugar, three of thick, sour cream, FIVE
well beaten eggs, two even teaspoon
fuls soda, flour enough for batter,
flavor with lemon. This will make two
good sized cakes.
BREAKFAST BIscUIT. Take piece of
risen bread dough, work into it one
beaten egg and a teaspoonful of butter
or lard when it is thoroughly amalga-
mated, flour your hands and make it
into balls the size of IN egg rub a tin
over with milk. and set them in a quick
oven for twenty minutes, and serve
them hot for breakfast. When eaten,
break them open to cut would make
them heavy.
JEnhfEs. In making jellies of apri.
cots, ounces, peaches, apples or plums,
peel, remove the stones or cores, cut in
pieces, cover with water, and boil
gently till well cooked then strain the
juice gently through jelly bag, and
add hall pint of sugar to pint of
juice. For berries, a pound of sugar
to a pint of juice boil till it ropes
from the spoon, or from fifteen to
twenty minutes. In making raspberry
Jelly, use one-third currants and two
thirds raspberries.
ON FROM HENS Esas. = The healing
properties in the new oil extracted
from hens eggs are said to be very
great, and it can be easily made. First,
the eggs are boiled hard the yolks
arc removed, crushed, and placed over
fire, where they are carefully stirred,
and when the substance is Just on the
eve of catching fire, the oil separates,
and may be poured of. One yolk will
yield nearly two teaspoonfuls of oil.
In the southern part of Russia it is
much used for curing cuts and bruises.
To REMOVE MtnDEw SpoTs,-R. j.,
Cisne, ILL.,, asks how to remove mildew
from clothing. Wet the spots with a
solution of chloride Of soda or with
chloride of lime, and they will disap-
pear Starched linen will require an
application each day for two or three
days, rinsing out and bleaching in the
sunshine after each application.
RICE PUDDING WITHOUT EGGs.-This
we consider the best pudding that
comes to our table. Take teacupful
of rice to three pints of cold milk, add
little salt and sugar, and set it into
cool oven soon after breakfast. Let 4
swell ard cook slowly till half an hour
before dinners then lift the slight crust
that will have formed, and pour in II
cup full of cream when this has come
slowly to the scalding point, it is ready
for the table.

A Present from the Gar.

Hon. William Barnes, ex-Superin-
tendent of the Insurance Department
in this state, has recently received,
through Baron Oflenburg, the Russian
Minister, diamond ring from the
Emperor of Russia, commemorative of
his services last year as a delegate
from this country TO the international
Statistical Congress in st. Petersburg.
The Albany Journal says: "The ring,
apart from its intrinsic value, is per-
feet gem of art. The gold of which
its massive hoop is composed comes
from Caucasus, and is of peculiar color
and beauty, and eight large diamonds
of perfect lustre form an appropriate
setting for n shield of blue enamel,
upon winch is raised the imperial CT
pher and above il the imperial crown,
each set in smaller diamonds. This
royal gift Is most wOrthily bestowed
upon our townsman. While in st.
Petersburg last year, Mr.. Barnes par.
tieipated largely in the active work of
the International Congress-, was in
trusted with special and responsible
duties, and was made a member of the
Permanent Commission, which sits at
Vienna during the coming month for
the purpose of srranging aud organIz-
ing the work for the next session. II
will be remembered that the President
i'm his last message recommended that
this important body should hold It's
next meeting in the United States, and
IL was through the earnest and ener-
getic efforts Of Mr.. Barnes that reso
luton TO that effect was carried
through both Houses Of Congress last

why Glover Improves the soil.


Professor Tockler thus explains the
action of clover increasing the fertility
of soil
All who are perfectly acquainted
with the subject must have seen that
the best crops of wheat are produced
by being preceded by crops of clover
grown for seed. ! have come to the
conclusion that the very best prepare
ton, the best manure, is a good crop
OF clover. A vast amount of mineral
manure is brought within reach of the
corn crop which, otherwise, would re
main in alocked-up conditionin all the
soil. The clover plants take nitrogen
from the atmosphere, and manufacture
it into their own substance, which on
decomposition of the clover roots and
leaves, produces abundance of ammo
mia. In reality, the growing of clover
is equivalent, to great extent, to ma
nuring with Peruvian Guano.
Take, for instance, red clover the
best of all green manures. The great
English chemist, Prof Way, of the
Royal Agricultural College at Ciren-
cestcr, made perfect analysis of dry
red clover, and found every one hun
dred parts to contain as follows:

C1Ovei After Potatoes,

The Maine FARMER says! "We
were long since reluctantly convinced
that clover will not flourish nearly as
well following a crop of potatoes as it
will after most other farm crops. Ex-
perience has taught us-and some
what extended observation has proved
that our experience is rot exceptional
that well set, thick field of clover
is rarely to be met with following a
grain crop after potatoes. Indeed, so
fully have we been convinced OF this,
that we have at times thought the
statement would be safe that such
could not be found. The results are
different, without doubt, on different
soils, and on the same soil when under
different treatment; still the rule, we
are confident, holds good. Since our
attention was called to this matter we
have carefully observed results. We
had under observation last year a
large field of uniformly strong soil
previously plowed and MANFRED alike
at the same time, all sown with wheat
when seeded to clover-a part of which
has been planted with corn and a part
to potatoes When the grass-mostly
clover-was cut, that on the portion
where corn was grown was Judged to
be double that where potatoes were
grown. The past winter clover was
not killed at all, and at the present
time the difference promises to be as
great as last year.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Working Corr.

The Farmers Union says: "The
great evil to the corn crop in this part
OF the West is farmers win work il too
much. OF course the weeds must be
subdued, but the practice of putting a
shovel-plow into the cornfield up to the
beam is bad one, especially after it
is in the tassel or silk. Before that
time this king of pillow may be used
with profit The breaking off of the
roots of corn by blowing has atendency
to put back the rireDing of the crop
New roots and tibres have no form,
which retards the growth of the ears
and grain"

A Child,s sncrlace.

My little children, let us not love
II word, neither in tongue but in deed
nd truth"
A child had beautiful canary, which
sung TO him from early morning. The
mother of the child was ill,-so ill that
the song of the little bird, which to
the boy was delicious, disturbed and
distressed her SO that she could scarcely
bear to hear it.
He put it IN a room far away but
the birds notes reached the sick bed,
and caused pain to her long, feverish
days.
One morning as the child stood
holding his mothers hand, he saw that
when his pet sang, an expression of
pain passed over her dear face. She
had never told him that she could not
bear the noise, but she did so now.
1t is no music to me" she said, as
he asked ii the notes were not pretty.
He looked at her In wonder.
"And do you really dislike the
sound2"
Indeed do she said.
The child, full of love TO his mother
left the room The golden feathers o
the pretty canary were glistening II
the sunshine, and he was telling fortl
/ his loveliest notes; but they ha,
ceased to please the boy. They wer
no longer pretty or soothing to him
and taking the cage in his hand, h
left the house. When he returned, h.
told his mother that the bird woul'
disturb her rest no more, for he hat
given il to his little cousin.
" But you loved it so," she said
chow could you part with the canary r
II love the canary, mother" he re
Piled "but Iloved you more. ] coul(
not really love anything that gave yot
pain. 1t would not be true love if
did. "-7he Quiucr.

MiIdcw ON Vines.

From Investigations made Mt the
Department of Agriculture by Thomas
Taylor, who is conducting the micro.
scopic Investigations on fungolds. or
mildew, we learn that preparation of
carbolic acid soap, used as u wash, is a
means of preventing or destroying
the minute parasites. A solution OF
sulphuret Of lime or carbolic SOAP
destroys the seed spores. Mr.. Taylor
found that the grapes might be trim.
med ever so closely, still enough OF
the seed is left TO develop rapidly
wherever heat was applied sufficiently
TO start them into vegetation. II was
found that dry heat developed the
European mildew (Erysiphe fuckeri)
very rapidly, aud that moist heat was
very favorable TO the growth Of the
American mildew (Botrytis villocs).

Extra citing Hone -

The honey stored in the brood cham
Der should be removed WI the ex-
tractor often. Do not allow your
queen to be crowded for space to lay
her eggs IN. This is an important
point at all times, especially good
honey season. Careless beekeepers
lose much honey, which is money and
stocks too, by paying too little atten.
tion to the brood chamber. With an
extractor, it takes but little time to
accomplish much; for by taking their
stores from the brood chamber and
placing back the empty comb, it ex-
cites them to gather more and as
soon as surplus boxes or frames are
filled they should he removed and
empty ones put in their places.

trouble with their growing. Last year
| ordered barrel of roots, less than
four bushels, and they set nearly two
acres. They were put in a -four barrel,
with holes bored in it, to prevent heat
ing.
One thing more: the roots should be
kept on a cellar bottom and wet with n
watering pot or otherwise, once in
three days, and not oftener, till
planted. .

grape houses should be gathered up
and burned, and it appears that the
vines when trimmed should be washed
carefully with the solution of sulphuret
of lime and carbolic acid, and thus the
spread of the mildew may be material
ly checked.

While, therefore, we advise the farmer
to make Bookkeeping one of the many
lines of industrial pursuit, we qualify
the advice by urging that it be by no
means entered into without seeking in
formation in regard to it. This can
easily be obtained from books on
agriculture, and from bee journals.

Clothes on Fire.

Three persons out of four would rush
right up TO the burning individual and
begin TO paw with their hands without
any definite aim. II is useless to tell
the victim TO do this or that, or to call
for water. In fact, IL is generally best
not to say word, but to seize blank
ct or any wooden fabric--if none is at
hand take any wooden material-hold
the corners ms far apart as you can,
stretch them out higher than your
head, and running boldly 10 the person,
make motion of clasping in the arms,
mostly about the shoulders. This in.
stantly smothers the fire and saves the
face.
The next Instant throw the person on
the floor. This is an additional safety
10 the face aud breath, and any remnant
Of flame cnn be put out more leisurely.
The next instant immerse the burnt
part in cold water, and all pain will
cease with the rapidity of lightning.
Next get some flour, remove from the
water, and cover the burnt parts with
an inch in thickness of flour II posi-
BILE, put the patient in bed, and do all
that is possible 90 soothe until the
physician arrives. Let the flour remain
until il falls off itself, when beauti-
ful new skin can be found. Unless the
burns are deep, no other applications
are needed. The dry -four for burns
is the most reliable remedy ever pro-
posed, and the information ought TO
be impaired TO all.
The principle of its action is, that,
like the water, il causes instant and
perfect relief from pain by totally ex-
GLIDING the air from the injured parts.
