How to Make Cake.-Do not leave
the oven-door open, or change the cake

the top, cover with paper. It should rise
to full height before the crust FORMS

-Roly-Poly Pudding.-Take crust of
equal parts Of Graham flour and fine corn
meal, wet with rice boiled quite soft in six
parts of water. Knead lightly and roll
out as thin as it will hold together. Then
spread on whortlcberries or blackberries
or rhubarb or gooseberries, and, begin
ming at one end, roll it over upon itself.
Sew up in cloth and boil or steam one
hour and half. Then take off the cloth
and cut in slices crosswisc, and serve
hot, with strawberry pudding sauce or
some other sWeetened fruit juice.
-Sherbct.-Rub the yellow rind of
three lemons with Jumps of sugar to get
the flavor. Squeeze the juice of six
lemons and carefully take out the seeds
Put the sugar and juice with one pound
of nice white sugar in half gallon of
water. Beat to Il stiff froh the whites
OF five eggs, stirring in two tablespoon
| tuls of pulver.zed white sugar. Then
slowly stir it in the lemonade and put it
Immediately in patent freezer, with salt
and ice around the freezer (thc same as
| for ice crcam}, and turn it until it is frozen
as hard as you wish it. This is very del
icatc and resembles dish of snow
None but patent freeZers should be used,
however, as it must be stirred con-
stantly
Green Tomato Pickles.-One peck
green tomatoes, half head of good
sized cabbage, two punches Of celery, or,
what is better, a little celcry-sccd, half a
pint of white mustard-sced; also three or
four small carrots, using only the red part
six onions, five large bell peppers. Chop
| them and mix them together, sprinkle
over cup of fine salt, let it remain over
night; drain we'll, sprinkle in the seeds
and pour over one pint of molasses Take
three pints of vinegar, two tablespoons
of ground allspicc, two tablespoons of
ground cloves, two tablespoons Of ground
cinnamon, two tablespoons of ground
yellow mustard. Heat the spices in the
vinegar and pour over scalding hot This
should be kept four or five months before
| using.
The same principles that apply to
the summer pruning Of trees and shrubs
apply with equal force to those canes
that grow one season and bear fruit and
die the next. Raspberries, if left to
their own course, grow tall and slender,
branching but little, and, falling over,
trail upon the ground Some allow them
to grow thus through the season and then
cut them back to the desired height; but
| IT pinched off when they reached the
proper height, from twenty inches to two
feet, much of the material pruned off
would have been appropriated in form
ing latcrals and in increasing the size of
the canes. So with blackbcrrics, pinch
ing them off at the height of two feet
causes them to grow stocky, throw out
laterals and form a compact head.-N.

An ONO farmer writes as follows: II

lowed to grow up thick with mustard af-
ter the potatoes were worked out the last
time. AS a result, mustard came up very
thick this spring before the potatoes ap-

the ground was so dry and hard l could
not have them worked. This mustard is

potatoes are not as smart as mine flor

full struggle for life. The present pros
poets seem strongly to indicate their ul-
innate failure. AS for mustard being a
remedy for bugs, I will only state the
above facts"
