USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.


A WASH, consisting of one or two
drachms of hydroohloric acid in about
four ounces Of water, has been recon-.
mended as q sure cure in cases of chap
ped hands.
THE Poultry Bulletin says: "Mr. John
Bennett, of Sunman, Ripley Co., Ind,
writes to the editor to say that scours in
chickens can be cured by giving milk,
warm, that has been scorched with red
hot iron.
PUMPKIN PIE.--Pare thepumpkin, then
CRATE it, and add sugar to taste, and milk
enough to make it Of the proper consist
ency then line your tins with pie-crust,
put in your pumpkin, and bake II in the
ordinary way.
Two dessert.spoonfuls of pulverized
sulphur mixed with soft food and given
to fowls two or three times month, is
highly commended by some poultry
breeders, as promotive of good health and
freedom from vermin.
How TO SAVE STALE BREAD.-Stale
bread may be made as nice as freshly
baked by dipping The loaf in clean, cold
water, and warming through in a bake
oven. Much bread might be saved that is
thrown away, if this were more generally
practiced than it Is.
A PROFESSIONAL CRATER tells CoIm0n's
Rural World that the most successful
method he has found of keeping cions in
a fresh, healthy state is to "layer them
down in good, clean sawdust, slightly
damp" Thus treated, he says, they do
better than when sand is used on the ends
placed in earth.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Toledo Farm
Journal, after great many experiments,
has discovered remedy for chicken
cholera. 1t is this; Take one tablespoon
full of tincture of rhubarb, one table,
spoonful of diluted gum arabic, and one
tablespoonful water give one teaspoonful
three times per day.
SEVERAL wide-awake gardeners have
recorded an experience to the effect that
by preparing the soil and sowing peas in
autumn-but so late as to preclude the
possibility of sprouting before the ground
freeZes-they secure a crop in spring con-
siderably earlier than by adopting the
usual course. The plan seems worth try
ing.
The green paper with which lozenges
are covered is extremely poisonous; but
children are allowed to purchase them
and place them in the hands of infants,
who always carry things to the mouth. A
piece of this paper, twenty inches square,
was analyzed and found to contain metal
ic arsenic sufficient to destroy the life of
an adult.
DROPPED EGGs.-Drop them in boiling
water, and be careful not to crack them.
Boil them four minutes; if wished very
rare, three minutes is sufficient Five
minutes will boil them hard. In winter
let them boil half a minute longer than
iv,c tO toIN 10
mediately, or they harden very soon.
pour water upon them, and let them stand
five minutes then pour it Off and add
more.
NICE GRTDDLE- CAKEs.--Goo shorts
not the coarser kind-are better for grid
dle-cakes than fine or even buckwheat
flour. They are made as follows Six
cups rich acknowledgement milk will
do with little cream-three teaspoons
even full of soda to neutralize the sour
milk; little salt, two eggs. Stir into
this enough shorts to make a thin batter,
as for other griddle-cakes, and fry as
usual. Rubbing the griddles with dry
salt and wiping off carefully before oil
ing will prevent trouble in turning. Corn
griddle-cakes and buckwheat-cakes are
very nice made in this way, though yeast
is usually preferred for the latter.
CHEAP AND GooD SoUPs. Recipes for
two soups that are very wholesome, pala-
table, cheap, and quickly made. To a
good many, in part, they may be old, to
some entirely new: Sift pint, or lit
tie more, of flour into the bread pan !;
break in one egg add little salt and
about gill of sweet milk (Which is
much better than sour milk and soda, or
all eggs; mix together rather stiff. Di-
vide into about three parts; roll quite
thin; flour plentifully so as to prevent it
hanging together; fold from each side (;
cut in two in the middle, lay one piece on
the other and cut the corners otf-first
one side and then the other. This keeps
them from being long and stringy. Put
abouta quart of water into a vessel, salt
and pepper, and piece of butter as large
as an egg. Let it come to boil and put
in your "noodles;" let them boil few
minutes. and send to the table. They
spoil by standing. 1t is one of the dishes
that never hurts one, though everything
else may. Chicken broth may answer;
but for a dyspeptic or an invalid the
above is the most digestible. This is
enough for family of five or six. An
other way is to take half pint of
flour, put in dry-pan, break an egg into
it, rub all around with the hand until all
the flour is wet and it is IN even Jumps !;
cook same as the other; or it is nice to
put in almost any kind of soup; stirred
into milk it is also good.
