ter trifie thicker than for griddle-cakes.
Drop from a spoon into the cups Of the
bread-pans, which are already heated,
| and bake in hot oven. Take them
from the pan as soon as they are done
and arrange them on plates, taking care
that no weight rests on them to make
them heavy. These after standing two
or three days are made as good as new

CUTTINGS of currant bushes, goose
berry bushes and of grapevines may be
| started in the open ground if the soil is
not permitted to become too dry, but a
better way than to put them in the open
ground is to fill large raisin-bex or any
other box with sand or rich loan and
keep the box near some stove where the
contents may be kept warm day and
night. 1t is desirable, if possible, to
| keep the sand at temperature of high
summer heat. Let it be kept moist con
tlnually by the application of rain water,
as warm as it can be without scalding
ones fingers when plunged into the
liquid. Now, prepare the cuttings and
stick them into the sand, butt end down.
Let each cutting be taken from the
growth of the previous year, about four,
| five or six inches long. Remove all the
buds but one near the top end. If such
| cuttings are started in the foregoing
manner early in April they will be
rooted by the middle of June, and may
be transplanted in the open ground. If
placed in rich soil they will make sever
al inches growth before cold weather.
Some will grow foot or two. In order
to remove them from the sand without
mutllating the roots, turn the box on one
| side and wash them out by applying
water with watering pot.-N. 7. Her.
