In cases of poisoning with oxalic acid
or salts of sorrel, chalk and water may
be administered as q chemical antidote,
with the view of producing the insoluble
oxalate of lime. Emetics should also be
applied.-Rurdl NesO Yorker.
Do NOT prune after the sap has COM
menced to circulate, and not until mid
summer, when the wounds heal over
readily. If prune you must and will,
cover all wounds with grating wax,
paint, or some other preparation to ex-
clude the air, otherwise decay will nee.
essarily follow.
Eco CAKE.--Two cups of sugar, one
egg, piece of butter the size of large egg
one cup of sour milk, one teaspoonful
of soda, little salt and nutmeg, one tea
spoonful of lemon, three cups of flour;
beat the white of an egg separately, the
sugar and yolk and butter together; bake
in thoroughly heated oven.
SPANISH PUFFs.-Put into saucepan
a teacupful of water, teaspooniul of
powdered sugar, half teaspoonful of
salt, and two ounces of butter. While
boiling add sufficient flour for It to leave
the saucepan; stir in one by one the yolks
OF four eggs, drop a teaspoonful at o
time into boiling lard, fry them light
brown, and pour white wine and melted
butter over them.
PHILADELPHIA COTTAGE CHEESE. -
Take one or more quarts of sour milk,
put 1t in warm place and let it remain
until the whey separates from the curd /;
then pour 1t in a three. cornered bag,
hang 1t up and let it drain until every
particle of whey has dropped from IL;
"a ,.,st
add milk or cream, with salt or sugar as
preferred. This is healthf1l and de.
licious addition to the breakfast or tea
table in summer.
A FINE starch polish may be made as
follows: White wax one ounce, sperma-
cetl, two ounces; melt them together
with gentle heat. For pint of boiled
starch put in piece the size of large
pea, and it will give gloss and luster
that cannot be obtained in any other
way. Starch may be greatly improved
by adding to each bowl of starch one
spoonful of EPSON salts, and dissolve in
the usual way, by boiling; the fabric
thus starched will be considerably sitter,
besides being rendered, to a certain de.

REMEDY FOR FEVER AND AauE.-Peru-
Wan bark, two ounces; wild.cherry tree
bark, one ounce; cinnamon, one dram, all
pulverized; capsicum, one teaspoonful; /;
sulphur, one ounce; port wine, two quarts.
Let stand day or two. ALWAYS buv the
Peruvian bark and pulverize it, as most
ready pulverized articles are adulterated.
This is the reason why more cures are
not performed by it. Dose, a wine glass
ful every two or three hours in the day
until broken; then two or three day
until all is used. This mixture will be
found excellent for intermittent fever and
fever and ague.-N. Y. Weekly.
TEA RUsKs.-One pint of sweet milk,
one teacup of sugar, piece of butter the
size OF an egg warmed in the milk, one
teaspoontul of salt, one teacup of potato
yeast and flour enough to make soft
spongei let 1t rise in warm place. When
light, add the same quantity of butter
and sugar and two eggs beaten very light;
work in flour enough to make dough like
raised biscuit, not very stiff; let it raise
again, roll out and cut with cake-cutter;
lay them in tins creased with butter
cover closely with cloth to prevent the
surface from drying; set in warm place
till light enough to bake. When done,
mix little molasses with the yolk of an
egg and wet the surface with it Just be-
fore removing from the oven. Very nice.

SMALL HoRsEs.-The Southern Farmer
says: "The arguments may be all in favor
OF great size, but the facts are all the
other way. Large horses are more liable
TO stumble and be lame than those of the
middle size. They are clumsy, and can.
not fill themselves so quick There is
nothing more surprising to Western men
than to visit Montreal and see the small
but stout Canadian horses hauling large
two.seated carriages full of people with
apparent ease. A horse weighing 900
pounds in Maine takes a Chase or Con.
cord wagon, with two men in it, and
makes fifty or sixty miles a day over hills
that might have terrified Hannibal. But
their weight is where it ought to be. 1t is
compact, and not lying around loose. 1t
is muscle, not pulp, that we want in a
horse"
How TO DESTROY POTATO BUes-I
planted five bushels of Early Rose pota-
toes, and put shovelful of old manure in
each hill as soon as the sprouts came
through the ground. The striped bugs
made their appearance, and looked as
though they would take the crop. com.
menced picking off the bugs and de-
stroying them. For some time thought
the bugs increased, and was on the point
of giving up the crop, but continued in
destroying the Jugs. A pair of pincers
can be used to advantage-you can de-
stroy the bugs as soon as you touch them,
and when you discover their eggs you
can destroy them also. | soon got the
advantage of the bugs, and raised fine
crop of potatoes. This seems a slow way
hut it is sure one. Potatoes selling at
81 so per bushel, it will pay for the extra
pains and trouble. Potatoes or no pota-
toes is the question.-COr. Cincinnati Ga
zette.
PIE.PLANT PIEs.-Never stew your pie
plant before making your pies. Peel the
stems of rhubarb and slice them in half |
inch lengths, holding several stems in the |
hand at one time. With these fill the pie, |
sweeten 1t generously-about the same as |
for lemon pie, small teacupful of |
sugar for a medium. sized pie-moisten |
with tablespoonful of water, dust over
this little dry -four to thicken the Juice |
a little, cover 1t with the upper crust and |
bake 1t slowly and thoroughly. Such a
pie is too rich for some stomachs, and !
there is way of dispensing with part of |
the sugar without having the pie too
sour. Not by the use of soda; no, IN.
deed But pour boiling water over your
sliced rhubarb, letting it stand ten or fif- |
teen minutes. Pour this off and make |
your pies of the rhubarb, with less sugar.
If you stew the pie-plant for sauce, you
can pour off part of the juice before it
is done, using it to make jelly if you
like, and supply its place with more
water, thus ecOnomizing sugar.-W Western
