Domestic Recipes.

STOVE PoLIsH.-If stove polish is
mixed with very strong soapsuds, the
luster appears Immediately and the
dust of the polish does not fly around
as it usually does.
TEA CAKE.-One cup of sugar. one
cup of flour, two eggs, two tablespoon
fuls melted butter, two tablespoonfuls
sour cream, little saleratus. Flavor
with lemon or nutmeg. Eat warm.
LEMON JELLY CAKE.-One cup of
sugar a limp of butter, size of but
ternut three eggs three tablespoon
fuls of sour cream; one and one-half
cups of flour; one teaspoonful of cream
tartar one-half teaspoonful of soda.
INDIAN CAKE.-Two cups Indian
meal from Northern yellow corn, if p1s-
sible /; one and half cups of flour, one
egg, salt sufficient for seasoning, two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, two cul IS of
milk, sweet or sour. If the milk is
sweet, add two teaspoonfuls of cream
tartar and one of saleratus if the milk
is sour, one of saleratus and no cream
tartar.
ROAST BEEF.-Roasted meats are
rarely met at American tables. 1t is
true that there is dish called roast
beef; but it is not roasted On the
contrary, the meat is placed in an oven
and baked. To those who have tasted
beef prepared by both methods, it is
not necessary to say anything. To
those who have always eaten baked
beef, we recommend that they should
purchase one of the tin roasters that fit
In front of the fire, and they will find
that properly-roasted meat is very
different thing from that which is
baked. both as regards its flavor and
digestibillty. In roasting, the same
result is to be attained as in boiling,
viz. the formation of an exterior coat
ing which shall prevent the escape of
the favorous portions. and the cooking
of the interior without making it tough.
Meat should neither be raw nor dried
up; for, In the latter case, it becomes
indigestible. The proper method Of
roasting is first to place the meat near
the fire, to coagulate the exterior, and
form the impermeable crust when this
is accomplished it should be removed
to distance, and the cooking finished
slowly at lower temperature. The ef-
feet of roasting thus conducted is to in
crease the properties Of the osmazome,
thereby rendering the meat more graft
flying to the palate. At the same time
the judicious application of the heat
has cooked the mass without making it
tough; and, since the meat is suspend
ed, tine fat, as it melts, flows off, and
does not soak into it. In baking, the
application of the heat is more continu-

ature of which is not high enough to
prevent it's soaking into the meat, and
the fat that melts on the top of the
mass is absorbed, and seriously impairs

Sorrel may be eradicated the same as
other wee6 s. by summer following, or
by putting the land in some hoed crop,
the production of which will make it
necessary to keep the soil clean. If the
soil contains many seeds, it may be
necessary to follow this course for more
than single year. Another method of
subduing sorrel is to put the land into
some forage crop and manures that will
stimulate its growth. Red or white
clover are good crops, and lime and
plaster good manures for this purpose.
At one time it was believed that an ap-
plication of lime was sure to kill out
sorrel, and at the same time was certain
to sustain the growth of valuable plants.
The fact that sorrel may be found grow.
ing in the crevices of lodges CT lime
rocks Will disprove this theory. 1t is
quite certain that the only agency the
lime exerts is to sustain the growth of
the plants which will overshadow the
sorrel, and thus check its growth. 1t
is popular idea that the application of
some substances viii act as a poison
to certain plants, and as food to others /;
but the notion finds little to support
it IN science or observation

Wheat and Cheat.

As an item of interest in the farming
line we give the following account of
what has happened to US as farmer /:
Three years ago we had twenty acres in
wheat that was seeded to clover, getting
a fair stand of the latter. Last year
and The season previous we pastured
the clover. Unfortunately, last season
we were obliged to use our pasture
too late, and the consequence was our
clover drew out and froze out in the
winter, and this spring the crop was
entirely gone. We determined, having
more ground for blowing than we could
use, to let 1t lie, grow up to weeds, and
what clover might come, turn it under
ear and re-seed to wheat and clover,
thus losing one years use of the ground.
Instead, however, of growing up to
weeds there came up as full crop of
cheat as if it had been regularly sown
to cheat, and we have just finished NOW
ing and stacking, and now have in stack
over twenty tons of almost entirely pure
cheat We cut it green, and it conse-
quently did not shatter out, and made
the heaviest hay we have handled fol
many q year. There is small quantity
of clover with it, but no weed, and oul
ground is as well seeded to clover as

Orchard Glass.

The Ohio Farmer says: Orchard
grass is one of the most valuable
grasses ii is as early as red clover, and
is therefore the grass best adapted to
SOW with it. For hay it is productive,
yielding q very heavy crop on rich land.
1t is very nutritious, and very palatable
TO all kinds of stock. 1t makes early
pasture, will bear close and constant
cropping it blossoms with clover, and
gives as large or larger burdens of hay.
1t is somewhat inclined to grow in
tufts, and to remedy this it is well to
harrow and roll it in the spring.

Farmers, Insurance.

A correspondent writes from Spring
dale, Iowa, to the Western Rural:
noticed an inquiry in the Western
Rural, of Aug s, by Subscriber" of
Camden, H., in relation to farmers in
surance companies. Farmers mutual
insurance companies are looked on with
favor in the West at this time, and de-
servedly SO. Auditor Russell, of Iowa,
IN his insurance report, remarks "A
good cause for considerable reduction
in the business of the Iowa companies
during the past year is to be found,
probably, in the formation OF con-
siderable number of local mutu Il COM
panies. These organizations, under
stand, are becoming quite popular with
our people located outside of the cities
aud large towns in the State"
Springdale 0owa) Fire Insurance
Company has been in operation over
three years. The Secretary's report of
the 10th of January, 1874, gives the
following items:
Whole number of members. Ns
Whole amount insured 100000
one loss PAID. ..;..-..-.......... SUI
The Secretary estimates that it would
have cost double the amount paid to
have insured the same amount OF prop
erty for the time in any of the stock
companies.
Let farmers be awake to their inter-
est in this matter, and not pay the rates
insurance companies are compelled to
charge, in consequence of the extraor-
binary fires of our cities and towns.
Begin in small way, with one, two or
three townships. Our company's terri
DRY includes five townships, and is too
arge. Detached farm property and
contents are made the basis for assess
ments. Farm buildings less than 100
feet, one-fourth more. Village dwell
ings over so feet, double the rates of
detached farm buildings. Churches
and schoolhouses the same as village
property.

l. Take good papers and read them.
. Keep an account of farming oper-
atoms.
3. Do not leave implements scattered
over the farm, exposed to snow, rain
and heat.
4. Repair tools and buildings at a
proper time, and dc not suffer subse-
quent threefold expenditure of time and
money.
5. Use money judiciously, and do not
attend auction sales 10 purchase all
kinds of trumpery because it is cheap.
6. See that fences are well repaired,
and cattle not grazing in the meadows,
or grain fields or orchards.
Z. Do not refuse TO make correct ex-
periments, in small way, of many new
things.
8. Plant fruit trees well, care for
them, and get good crops.
8. Practice economy by giving stock
shelter during the winter; also good
food, taking out all that is unsound, half
rotten or moldy.

why Farmers Keep Poor.

A correspondent says: "After long
observation have come to the conclu-
sion that a great majority of the farm
ers who are poor might have made
money. If you inquire into their bust
ness habits, you viii find that they al
ways sold the best and kept the poorest.
For instance. if they have too many
sheep on hand, they pick out the best
to be sold. If you ask them why they
do so they will say: Because they
bring twice as much as the others, and
L am hard up, just now, for money. 1
know that it is not good plan, and /
do not intend to follow it always /
think the habit of selling the best very
poor plan for any man, don't care
what his circumstances may be. 1have
a man in my mind now, who always sells
his poorest sheep for more than twice
as much as the average farmer gets
for his best. / have seen farmers in
the fall pick out their best pigs to
fatten, because they would make few
more pounds of pork than the others.
This / call poor economy. Probably nc
ten of the best would make one hundred
pounds of pork more than would have
been made had they taken ten of the
poorer. BY making this one hundred
pounds of pork extra they think thai
niue is gained. They are very much
mistaken. By reversing their rule they
might make ten times that amount"

Height Of the Human Species.

M. Silberman shows the average
height of the male and female popula-
ton of France, taken in q certain po-
sition which he names the "geometric"
is l.600040 meters, or two meters If in
the same position the hands are COM
fortably extended over the head. Two
individuals laid lengthwise with fingers
touching would thus measure four
meters, and this he terms the base of
the harmonic proportions of the human
race. Thus this harmonic base is four
times one meter, just as the meridian is
four times ten millions, and the rela-
ton of the two integers is as one to
100000. From these considerations
he draws proof of the equality of the
sexes, as they exhibit woman not as q
complement to the male portion of the
race, but as constituting normally and
by right half of the human family. M.
Silberman arrives at the conclusion, as
the result of his various investigations
and studies, that the average height of
the human race has remained unchanged
since the Chaldean epoch4 000years ago.
