A Cold In The Head.

pne of the most annoying complaints ia
the range of medical knowledge Is a cold
in the head. But you would not think so.
No newspaper which publishes int icate
recipes for complicated diseases tells.
even In the most vague way how to cure a
cold in the head. No volume on physiol-
osy comes to its relief No doct or in regu-
lar practice pretends 10 know anything
about il. Ii is the wandering Jew of ALL
ments. Ii inyades every hous ehold With
lmpanity, and snaps its feverish fnyer in
the very face of medical science. And
medical science promptly lodges. and is
glad il can. The man with a cold Ia his
head Is a mourniul fabric TO contemplate.
lie Is ostracIZed from company. He is
barred out from the family circle. He
loses his interest in everything but q stove
aud handkerchief. and were he called
upon TO give an expression il would be
found that his idea of heaven was a place
where stove foundries and cotton mills
were about equally divided. His ewes are
watery, his skin Is drawn tight to his
hceh- hi> nose Is sWellen, oil merry red
and sorer than a strange dog.
What he most fears is the DRAFT. but in
spite OF his most active endeayor he is sure
to get into IL; and he is hardly able to con-
zeal his surprise at the pressure Of bust
ness the family is subjected to. which keeps
the door open two-thirds OF The time. and
establishes an almost unnterrupted cur
rent Of air about his legs. Screwed nm
back of the stove, with his nose like
beacon shining above it. he patiently holds
his handkerchief to the blaze, and finally
slips into mental calculation as TO which
will first lose its mOisture-his cotton or
his blood. There he sits all day, with the
handkerchief as flag OF truce rendered BY
the fire in his head to the fire in the stove,
and at night he goes scudding through the
cold hall. sneezing at every leap. Long
after every ole else is asleep he starts up
up with terrific sneeze. and finds that his
feet are sticking out below the quilts. and
that the handkerchief. which he mean. tn
have carefully located for just this emer.
gency, is no where to be Daaburv

milk in summer. but run out OF the srticl.
in winter: or rather their cows run out OF

called for. Now milk is good thing. q

qulsites. One of these Is warm shelter:
another is plenty OF nutritious food; and
another still is regularity in milking and
feeding. and Kindness in caring for SO good
an animal. Why. good cow Is one OF
the family almost. Every body should
have a kind word for her. She should be

mails she should have Il. I. a good big
quantity of the rich lactesl fluid Is wanted.
She should be RECALLED twice dsy with
some nice warm slop OF bran and corn

Bran and Corn Neal for Cows.

The Practical Turner says: 1T is well
settled in the opinion Of all our best dairy
men that bran greatly promotes the milk
secretion> IN cows, and it is fed almost
universally. About equally mixed with
corn meal is the usual proportion. This
mixture seems to promote both quantity
and quality of milk. From several sources
We hear that buckwbeat bran is q great
producer OF milk. and Il is now being used
considerably among our Chester cosntv
dairymen, in about the same proportion ms
the other. Thomas Gawthrop, near West
Grove. Chester county, also by repeated
trials with his own cows. has fully satisfied
himself that they do as well with corn and
cob meal and bran as well as with pure
corn meal and bran. The amount of nu-
triment in corn cobs is so very small that
this result will have to be explained on the
supposition OF the ground cob acting to
promote digestion by distendins the stom-
ach. The presence of bulky material be-
Ing necessary to promote distension and
before digestion can be accompanied, is
frequently lost sight Of Hungarian grass
is also found for milch cows TO be rather
superior TO the ordinary run of hay. The
last year or two Hungarian grass has
doomed up wonderfully In the estimation . f
our dairy farmers; and a very large scope
of land will be sowed with it the coming
season. Il natures for cutting in about
sixty days, and produces two to four tons
per acre-the latter of course on good
soils. Three pecks to the acre is the usual
allowance of seed. Where good hay
market is convenient this substitution of
Hungarian grass for common hay in home
feeding will be a clear additional source OF
profit"

Domestic Recipes.

BOILED EGGs.-It is commonly said that
hard boiled eggs are much less " hoIesom.
than those boiled soft, but the journal or
chemistry has an important qualification
tor tins statement. The trouble in digest
ing hard boiled egg pertains t. the
white. not TO the yoik. the white being rx-
ceedingly tough when fully boiled To do
the cooking right it advises this couise.
Put them into boiling water suiii cent 10
cover them. and let them remain ten or fif-
teen minutes; keep the water nearly up t.
the boiling point. but do not let II reach
that point. Fresh eggs will cook sooner
than old ones. BY this process the volAs
will be well cooked while the white doe.
not become tough and hard TO digest"
CHEAP AND DELICIOUS SouP.-Sa,e
the liquor in which the nice leg of mutton
was boiled to-day. IL would be wicked 10
TIN ow it away, for a large traction OF the
succulent and nutritiye ness OF the meat il
In II. Remove the fat Tomorrow. aud then
put II over tie fire. Add onions, carrots

potato. with bits Of celery; add in either
case rice or barley, a table. poonfiil of them
dry to quart of liquor is good rule. DO
this. and at = trining expense you NAV
have tureen of soup DIT 10 set before
King.
ArPLz FRIrTERs.-This i. a favorire
dish with many, and often preferred 10
duinpllngs. We like them prepared thus:
Make batter, not very stiff. with one quart
OF milk. three eggs. and -four to bring il to
right consistency. Pare and core half
dozen large apples, and chop them to
about the size Of small peas, and mix them
well in batter. Fry them in lard as you
would doughnuts. For trimmings, we like
powdered white sugar best. though good
brown sugar will do.
SODA BiscUIr.-Tske piece of butter
the size OF an egg. one teaspoon of salt.
and two teaspOonf0ls Of cream tart.r; rub
ali together into y quart Of -four, until
there are no little Jumps; dissolve heap
ing teaspoon Of soda in pint Of cold wa
ter, and pour into the noar, stirring quick
"; add -four to roll light; if nsde accord
Ing to directions, these are very nice.
GRAPE JAx.-Boil the grapes In just
water enough to cover them, and long
enough to make them tender. strain them
through colsnder, then 70 one pound of
pulp put one pound Of sugar; boil this half
an hour; the common wild grape makes a
nice jam.

some of the prettiest vines for house Gull

plant them in a rich, sandy loan, in either

"KyANIvING" PLANT-LABxLs. ETc.-Tbe
following method of "kyanizing'' wooded
labels that are to be used on trees or ia ex-
posed places is recommended in German
paper. Thoroughly soak the piece of
wood in strong solution ofcoppcrss (sul.
phste Of lron.) then lay them. after they
are dry, 10 lime water. This causes the
formation OF sulphate OF lime, very inso-
lubla salt Gypsum in the rood. The rap
id destruction of the labels by the weather
Is thus prevented. Bass mats, Irvine. and
other substances used in tying up. or COW
erins trees and plants. when treated in the
same manner, are similarly preserved.
At recent meeting Of horticultural
society In Berlin, Germany, wooden labels
thus treated were shown which had been
constantly exposed To the weather durin.
