French Recipes for Cooking Potatoes

P,ree Of Potutoes.-This differs
from mashed potatoes only in the EN-
ployment of more milk and butter,
and in the whole being carefully re,
duced to a perfectly smooth, thick,
crcam-like mixture. Where economy
is Il great object, and where rich
dishes are net desired, the following
is IN admirable mode of MASKING
potatoes: Boil them until thoroughly
done, having added Il handful Of salt
to the water, then dry them well, and
with two forks placed back to back,
beat the whole up until no Jumps are
left. If done rapidly, potatoes thus
cooked are extremely light and di@eS-
tible.
Potutoes .SuntecS.-Thcse are even
more agreeable with meat than fried
potatoes. Cold boiled potatoes are
sliced up, and tossed up in a saucepan
with butter, mixed with little chop
ped parsley, till they are light brown
ed. Pure goose or other dripping is
by many cooks preferred to butter for
this purpose.
Pututoes .Sou,Naees. The delicious
blistered potatoes are prepared as fol-
lows: The potatoes, if small, are
simply cut in halves; if large, cut in
three or more slices; these are fried
in the usual way, but are taken out
before they are quite done, and set
aside to get cold; when wanted they
are fried 4 second time, but onl y I'M
til they are of Il light golden color,
not brown.

Renovation OF Old Fields.

The renovation Of old pasture lands
that produce but little grass, is Il
matter of interest to many farmers.
We often see such fields that have
remained unplowed for a score or
two of years, which is very bad man
agement, as it is folly for farmers to
thus neglect land which can be made
to produce good pasturage at a small
expense.
Suppose one has Il ten or twenty
acre field, high and dry, that has lain
many years uncultivatcd, and which
affords but very little pasturage, and
that little Of very poor quality, what
is to be done with it? Its owner is
1--WE will suppose) a slovenly farmer
who learns nothing but what is beat
en- into his head by sheer necessity,
to avoid starving; and he is told that
such a field may be made, without
any manure, to produce ton OF good
hay to the acre for several years, and
then pasturage for his cows the en-
tire season, at the rate Of two acres
per COW. He shakes his head and
begins to talk of the absurdity of
book-farming, and the nonsense in
the papers about agriculture. At last
he is persuaded to fence off an acre
on which to make the experiment,
but grumbling a good deal about the
"expensc," and the ''ruin" that would
result if the whole field were "treated
So"
Well, spring comes, and we get
the old fellow to harness up his team
and hitch on to the best pillow and go
to the above acre lot where we tell
him to go ahead and pillow it. He
commences by blowing about three
inches deep. "lIold up!' we cxclaim
that kind Of blowing won't do at all"
He stares at us and exclaims: "Do
you think Pm going to kill my hors-
es? | know what you want You
want me to run the pillow in up to the
beam, and l shall do no such thing"
We examine the subsoil and find
that the land should be plowed about
ten inches deep to produce the best
crop of grass; so we argue the case
with him, and finally persuade him
to run his pillow that depth, provided
that we pay any damage that his
team may sustain, and also all the en-
penses of seeding down the land,
should it prove failure.
The land being plowed we SOW it
heavily to clover, with no other crop
or grass seed, and the result is q good
"catch' and a fair crop the first sea
son, and better one next year, which
we pillow under when at its full
growth, first running Il heavy roller
over it; and the blowing under of
this crop, with its numerous and
deeply EXTENDED roots, is equal to II
heavy coat of stable-manure in tertil-
izing the land. Early the next spring
we directed the farmer to procure Il
halfbushel Of orchard grass seed, the
same of blue grass and Il like quar-
tity Of red-top, with four pounds of
clover seed; and the whole Is sown
upon the aforesaid acre Of land, after
blowing it ten inches deep and har-
rowing it to smooth conditions; then
the seed is brushed in carefully, and
the result is splendid crop Of grass,
worth the first season five times the
expense Of producing it. In like
manner thousands Of old fields can
be made very productive, when farm
ers shall have learned how to manage
their lands in the best manner.-T

u seful Hints

Hair Observation-Disclosures leaves
good handful; boiling water, one
pint. Digest for an hour; simmer ten
minutes and then strain. This will
strengthen the hair and prevent its
falling off.
Washing Made Easy.-The Ger
man washcrwomen use mixture of
2 ounces turpcntinc and ounce of
spirits of ammonia, well mixed to-
gethor. This is put into Il bucket OF
warm water, in which J pound of
soap has been dissolved. The clothes
are immersed for "a hours and then
washed. by this method the clean
sing is said to be greatly quickencd,
and two or three rubbings in cold
water will remove the turpcntinc
smell
Your own Mason.-Small holes iii
white walls can be easily repaired
without sending for the mason
Equal parts Of plaster Of Paris and
white sand-such rs is used in most
families for securing purposes-mix-
ed with water to Il paste, applied I'M
mediately and smoothed with a knife
or fiat piece of wood will make the
broken place as good as new. AS
the mixture hardens very quickly, it
is best to prepare but small qnantl-
ty at time.
Destruction of night-hyiny Insects.
Millions of insects injurious to
trees may be destroyed by keeping
up numbers of small fires from twi-
light to midnight and surrounding
them with circles of 20 to thirty tar
red stakes, not more than six inches
apart. Although few insects will be
burned to death, since they soon
seem to acquire 4 dread Of the fire,
many will be caught in the tar while
moving about III the warmed stratum
Of air or to and from the fire.
To Eytin9ush Kerosene Flames.
One of the most read y means is to
throw Il cloth of some kind over the
flames and thus Stille them; but rs
the cloth is not always convenient To
the Kitchen, where such accidents are
most likely to occur, some one rec

it Is said, promptly eNtingnlshes the

deadens the flames, and can be rcadi-
ly gathered up and thrown out OF
