Keep the Mils-liosm Sweet.-Mill,
and cream are great ahsorbeuts of
tie gases ard tlavors that are floating
IN the air. We have been in some
kitchens where the milk was kept in
the winter for the sake of warmth,
and where tabhag"s. turnips, etc. ,
were daily boiled. Milk kept under
such con .litions must acquire an IN
pleasant flavor, and must impart it
to the butter. What is worse, tho
air Of such kitchens uniformly shows
that the casein of the milk has com.
menced its putrefactive process to
which it has great tendency in its
fluid state, the decomposition doubts
less being fastened by the germs of
decay which are, constantly floating
in the atmosphere Of such a room,
and-wlIich linda good seed bel In tho
milk pans. No wonder that some
dairy-women say that they cannot
make sweet butter in winter, when
they expose their cream a week be-
fore churning to such communicating
influences.-Practical Farmer.
Afternoon Tea Cakes.-Dry before
the fire quart of fine flour, and rub
into it quarter of a pound of but
ter; then, beating up a couple Of
eggs with two tablespoonfuls of yeast.
pour the whole into the center Of tho
flour, aud Keep mixing it we'll with a
pint Of warm new milk. Beat it IN
with the hand until it comes off with
ont sticking, and set it, covered with
a cloth, to raise before the fire. Az
ter it has remained about an hour.
make it up in round cakes about an
inch thick; put them in o tin plate.
set them before the fire to rise a Lit.
tie for ten inmates and having baked
them in q slow oven, butter them.
and eat them hot.
Mending With Plaster.-!f you have
crack in the wall in tho corner of
The room or anywhere else, do not
send for the plasterer, but get five or
ten cents worth Of dry plaster Of,
Paris; wet with cold water; then
take yoar finger and rub it into tho
crevice till it is smooth. Bad nai:-
holes in the wall can be done in the
same way. Shou'd the top Of your
amp become loose, take it off and
wash it with soap; wash the glass
.!so, then put the plaster around the
glass ]; put the brass top on again,
ct it stand until hardened, and it is
ready for use again. A lamp should
never be filed quite full, a. the kero-.i F
'ene softe"s the plaster.-Rural Home. \
Eggs by Weight.-The Legislature
If Massachusetts, has lately passed q
aw making it necessary that . dozen
'ggs weigh one and one-half pounds.
This is move in the right direction
md We hope that, all Of the other
states may speedily follow the good
set by Massachusetts. It
to tho breeder Of blooded
md fine fowls to find, when lie offsrs
or sale eggs nearly twice as large ~
lis neighhors, that they bring no
more per dozen than do the smaller
'nes. Also, the consumer il often
'exed to find that he must pay the
anne price to-day for dozen eggs
but a pound that he yes.4
erday paid for n dozen weighing q
'ound and n half. Besides, an egg
rom a well-ftd fowl ia heavier and
icher than an egg from a common
owl that is onl; half-fed, 80 that
Ieight compared to size is an indi-
alton of richness. Thus eggs of
Which eight will wcigl, a pound are
ettrr and richer than those Of CON-
arativcly the same size of which ten.
re required for a poand.-New Eu-.
land Farmer.
Cabbage, Worm.-After trying N:
!ous remedies, we have found boiling
ut water from q watering-pot, the
implest. easiest. and most effectual
node Of destroying the cabbage
'orm. applied quickly and not too
'ng on the leaves, it produces no
1)ury. It is easy repeated as occa.
ion requires. ~
