FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

When linen has become discolored,
rinse 1t in a very blue water after wash
ing, and let it remain in the open air all
night. Repeat this treatment and ex-
posure for several days, until it has be-
come white.
--Corns and Bunions--Burn with caus-
tic, after bathing; repeat if necessary.
Another remedy apply the pulp of lemon
until the hard pulp can be removed. Cot
ton creased with linseed oil or turpentine
is very good, as it soltens the corn.
The teeth, it should be impressed
upon children, should be cleansed as well
aT1 nearly as often as the face-at least
after each meal The habit of taking care
of the teeth should be early formed by
the child, until it becomes as essential to
its own comfort as cleansing any other
part of the body.
Boiled Corn Bread.-Take two cups
of corn meal, one of wheat flour, half
cup of brown sugar, one pint of sour milk,
one and half teaspoon of soda, one tea
spoon of salt. Mix well. Put in a well
buttered tin pail, cover tight and set in
kettle of boiling water. Cover and boil
two hours.
Apple Meringue-Pare, core and
stew ten tart apples in a very little water;
season as for pie and put in a fruit pie
dish into not very hot oven. Beat up
meanwhile the whites of four eggs as you
would for icing, piling on the apples like
rocks, aroidins tho odsa of the dish re
turn it to oven and nicely brown. Slip
all out carefully by aid of knife or spoon
into a China dish and serve with cream (;
but if you have not cream, make a custard
of the yolks of the eggs, favored with
vanilla, etc.
Paris Green for Vines.-It is not gen.
orally known that Paris green mixed in
the proportion of one part by measure to
| twenty-five parts of flour, will kill the
striped bug from of cucumbers, squashes,
muskmelons and other vines, except wa
termelons, the leaves of which latter are
sometimes spotted if the mixture be used
strongly. 1t may be busted on from a
slazy bag or dredging box. Usually too
much of the powder is cast on; the
slightest possible quantity evenly dis
| tributed is sufficient, and it should be APP
| piled in the morning while the dew lies
on the plants
Permanent Flower Beds.--To save time
and labor of reshaping flower beds every
| spring, when made in the sod, lay out the
form you wish them, take Off the surface
to the depth of eighteen inches, cut the
| sluC slIdiEill uOHu, set ldIEt, long SldDcu
stones edgewise around, even and upright,
supporting each other firmly, preserving
! the same height above the surface. The
| stones should stand six inches above; this
will prevent the grass growing into the
| bed. Replace the sod to the height of one
| foot; fill up with soil and compost, raIs-
| ing the centre eighteen inches higher than
the edge. Dressed up, and rich soil added
every spring, you have bed that will last
over twenty years. The stone sides keep
| the roots moist, and enable them to stand
| the heat and drouth of summer.
Choosing Hatching Eggs.-Eggs foi
| Matching should be chosen of the fail
average size usually laid by the hen they
are from; any unusually large or small
being rejected. Some hens lay large eggs
and others small ones. A fat hen will al
ways lay small eggs, which can only pro
duce small and weakly chickens. Abso
lutte size in eggs is, therefore, of but little
| importance Round, short eggs are usu
ally the best to select; very long eggs
especially if much pointed at the small
end, almost always breed birds with some
awkwardness in style of carriage. Meth
or should rough-shelled eggs be chosen
| they usually show some arrangement ofth6
organs, and are often sterile. Smooth
shelled eggs alone are proper for hatch
| ing. II is farce to suppose that the sex
of bird can be determined by the shape
of the egg.
