Cooking Pears.

There are, says Julia Coleman, many varieties
of pears called 'cooking pears" which are good
for nothing until cooked, and most of these are
good for nothing when cooked, unless it be to alb
sorb the seasoning. l confess, i do, sometimes,
whes driven to the necessity Of cooking such
pears, slice little green ginger into the swee-
tened juice being careful TO remove it before It
imparts a very sharp flavor. better fashion is
to cook lemons with them, cutting the latter III
to half circles eighth of an inch thick, allow
ing about one slice TO each pear, and sweetening
to taste. Then dish the pears, place the rings
between the pears around the edge of the dish,
and pouo the jnice over the whole. If the pears
have been pared and suartered peel the lemons
and cut them into strip lcngthwise. Other acids,
like those of green grapes, rhubarb and damson
plums, may be used to flavor the syrup of these
flavorless cooking pears, and when thus prepared
they may be canned like other fruit. Baked
pears may also be treated with such prepared
syrup Rich and juicy pears baked, may he served
without syrup The richest and most juicy ripe
pears may also be cut up uncooked, and served
with sugar sprnkled over them like peaches.

Yeung Frait Free. in Autumn.

Many trees set out within the past two years
have not made satisfactory growth. This has
Ieen owing, undoubtedly, to the hasty and inn
rerfect manner in which they were planted, or
to the neglect they have suffered since. This
very month of November is n good time to COM
mence restoring the vigor of these trees At once,
manure into the young orchard, dropping small
heaps-say about a bushel each-at the foot of
every tree. Take off part of the soil from the
roots, spread the manure equally over the whole
and mix it in with the earth, leaving the ground
loose for the winter. Be sure to feed the extre-
mites of the roots; there is no use putting the
manure around the trunk of the tree. Tho spon-
gloles are the mouths of the tree, and the food
should be put within their reach, at the ends OF
the roots This treatment will give the tree new
Nlgor in the next growing season. vi the I'M
Portance Of heaping little mounds of dirt around
the trunk, for the winter, our readers are, doubt-
less, well Informed. This is the best possible
preventive of the attacks of mice. This hilloek

The season for cunning is now at hand. WIN

body Even more terrible than these casualties
in which the careless sportsman Kills himself are
those in which be kills companion; Tor Then,
besides the loss of life, there is dreadful future
of remorse for the survivor. Mindful oil the
many sad incidents of former hunting seasons,
we sound the note of warning thus early. vi all
habits connected with cunning or marksman-
ship the most silly, detestable, ard even erlmi-
nal, is that which consists in the sportive pom
ting of fire-arm. whether loaded or not, at any
person. Hundreds of lives have been lost ana
and hundreds of families made unutterably
wretehed by a, practice which, though meant to
be funny is wholly lacking in the first element
of humor, and in addition has frequently caused
the direst tragedies. However, as this misuse OF
firearms always show that anybody who indul
ges in it is not fit to be trusted with them 1t, OF
course is not the most common cause OF acci
dents in the woods. Careessness in carrying
guns, in loading them, in moving themi III get

prolific sources of disaster.

BRoIIING.-When meats are broiled on grid
iron over hot Goals, the sudden high heat applied
sears the outside, which shuts in the juices, and
the rapid application of heat soon cooks the meat
thorough, if in moderately thin pieces 1t is then
tender, Juicy, and palatable. Those who never
Lroil their fresh meat, fish or poultry, do not
know the excellencies of properly cooked dish
of animal food. OF all methods for fowl, broiling
is the best-provided that the cook is active
enough to handle dexrerously, not to make
cha. coal of an atom, and yet cook every part of
the meat sufficiently to suit the taste of the con-
sumner

To Cook RICE.-The following is the method
recommended by the French Academy for cook
ing rice during the siege of Paris: Take one cup
of rice and one-fourth cup of water in saucepan,
cover aud place over good fire; after an hour
the water will be evaporated, and the rice cooked
tender, but dry, and with the grains distinct
not in paste. Sufficient salt should he added in
the first place, and care should be taken not to
disturb the rice while cooking. BY adding lit
tie butter, and allowing the rice to dry a little
more over gentle fire, more delicate dish is
prepared.
