"Daisy Eyebright," in the Country Gentleman,
gives the following directions for canning straw
berries, and making strawberry jelly:
At the commencement eff the strawberry sea-
son make two three quarts of white sugar in
to thick syrup. dissolving it in hot water, two
large coffee-cupfnls to quart. Boil and skim
this put into jug or bottles for future use.
Put your ripe, fresh Strawberries into glass cans,
and fill MP with the cold syrup nearly TO the
brim, as the Strawberries shrink somewhat.
Place in kettle of cold water, putting the lids
on the tops of the cans first, but not screwing
them down. Let them come to q boil slowly;
boil for five minutes; then screw down the COW
ers tightly, and set away in a dark, cool place.
STRAWBERRY JELLY.-Squeeze out the Juice
of the strawberries, and to each pint of Juice add
three-quarters of pound of lump sugar. Boil
for twenty minutes; turn into cups which have
been previously dipped in cold water, and set in
the sun for few hours.

The New York Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals has issued the following cir
cular relative to the treatment of horses during
the heated term:
1.-THE Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals wOnld call attention to suffering of hOr
ses and mules in our streets during the hot sea-
son, and recommend drivers and others having
animals under their care the most considerable
treatment. 1t would also recommend feeding
small bundle of wet hay or a couple of quarts of
oats in the middle of the day; to use but little
corn, as it is very heating, and TO soak whatever
is used in salt water for hours before
feeding; to the wet sponge the head; to fur
nish little drinking water as often as practical
BILE, when not overheated, and a further means
of refreshing the animal, to throw water upon
the legs and such parts as are liable to chafe by
perspiration or otherwise; to drive slowly and
lessen the load usually imposed in cooler wealth
or; to loosen the checkrein, or better, dispense
with it altogether; to cover the animal with
hynet, or, preferable, with light sheet. The fol-
lowing preparation is recommended for animals
suffering from being ever-heated: To one pint
of water put one ounce of chloride of ammonia,
one ounce sweet spirits of nitre, one drachm tine
ture of aconite; to give tablespoonful every
hour or two. Upon the passenger railroad lines
the Society would advise driving even walking,
even when the weather is oppressive; to use the
sponge above recommended and to have men
stationed proper distances along the route to
water the animals; to keep them shaded when
practicable, and to provide extra horses to re-
lieYe the load on IN grades"

And warn them against kerosene.

And have fond eye on the coal

And gaze while my gases arise.

Graham Rrend.

Housekeepers who have no gem-pans can make
very nice warm Graham bread for breakfast in
several ways. Make dough of -four and sweet
milk (skimmed or creamy, as you prefer or find
conveniently, stiff enough to roll out easily.
Knead this little, roll it an inch thick, and cut
it into diamonds; or cut off strips and make it
into rolls with the hands; or roll it into balls
tvo inches in diameter, iattening them little or
not at all, as you choose: or roll in the dough
very thin, and cut it into square crackers, prick
ing them well to prevent their putting. Crackers
are best with some cream in the mixing, and
crackers require more kneading than diamonds
and rolls, which are expected to be soft inside

LANGUAGE OF THE CLoUDs.-The colors of I

LANGUAGE OF THE CLoUDs.-The colors of the
sky at particular times afford wonderful good
evidence. Not only does rosy sunset presage
fair weather and ruddy sunshine, but there are
other tints which speak with equal clearness or
accuracy. A bright yelowish sky in the eve
ming indicates wind; pale yollow wet, neutral
gray color constitutes a favorable sign in the
evening and an unfavorable one in the morning.
The clouds are full of meaning in themselves.
If their forms are soft underlined and feathery,
the weather will be fine. If the edges are hard,
sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally
speaking, any deep, unusual lines betoken wind
and rain, while the more quiet and delicate tiuts
bespeak fair weather.

In case of poison, make your patient vomit by
giving tumbler of warm water with a table
spoonful of mustard in it, and then send for q
doctor. If it be necessary to act without the
doctor, and the poison is arsenic, give large
quantities of milk and raw eggs in fiopr and wat
or. If the poison is an acid, give magnesia and
water, and plenty of chalk and warm water be-
sides. If it is an alkali, like potash, give vine
gar and water, lemon juire, or some other safe
acid. Always remember the emetic first If it
be laudanum, strong coffee is good thing to
give until the doctor comes. Keep the patient
awake

SETTING HENs.-A correspondent writes: at
is often the case that troublesome and sometimes
cruel, expendients are resorted to, to break hens
from setting-sncb as ducking them in water or
throwing them into pond; putting snOwballs
or stonesin theirnes shutting them up without
food etc. Now all that is necessary is simply to
nut them in a comfortable coop or pen out of
sight of and away from their nests, four or i've
DAYS, with plenty of food and water. A hen
that would be good setter and mother you can
not break by ducking or any other short method;
natures laws are too deeply implanted for that.

IT is great mistake to permit shade trees to
stand so near together that none have loom for

they are the gamers.

If the people of the West could be shown the
actual loss to them each year by making second
or third rate butter, the figures wOuld be abso-
lutely astonishing. To place it at per centage
we would estimate that there was loss of not
less than fifteen per cent. on all the butter sold,
for the cause alone, and when we deduct from
the sales the proportion that is good, and place
the whole loss of the inferior article, the loss on
that would be a very much greater per cent.
