leo Houses.
NJ. r. BARTLETT.

Now is the time to put up an ice house
if you have not got one. Every farmer
should have one, if he has ice within good
hauling distance. Everyone knows what
luxury ice is in summer, even when in
health, and in sickness it is indispensable.
Everyone likes good, hard butter. You
can't often have it without ice. Every
one likes ice-cold milk and cold water,
but they can't be had without ice. So,
have an ice house, that you may have
the many luxuries that ice affords.
But you may say there is no ice in
haluing distance. In this latitude it is
easy to have it. Make pond now, while
this fine fall weather lasts, and You can
have ice this very season. A few days
work will make good pond on almost
any farm, and that will make plenty of
ice. with which you can fill a cheap ice
house; or you can make a more expen-
sive one if you wish. In future num-
Der we will have something to say about
how to make an ice house. If subscrib-
ers will refer to the numbers of the
Rual World of last year about this sea-
son. they will find directions for making
ice ehouses ofseveral kinds.-Rrdl World.

H,W to Break fast.

The Sanitary Record (English) sane
tions the American custom of a substan-
tial meal soon after rising, as follows ::
Let a healthy man really "break" his
fast" with substantial meal, and not
break his breakfast with irritating little
nips or slops beforehand. After the
stomach has at its leisure emptied itself
during sleep of its contents, and sent
them to repair the worn tissues and
exhausted nerve form, and the blood has
been ventilated and purified by washing
and dressing with the window open, then
is the time when the most perfect of all
nutritive articles, farinaceous food can be
consumed in largest quantities with
advantage. Butter also, and fat and
sugar, troublesome customers to weak
digestion are then easily coped with and
contribute their invaluable aid to per-
forming the duties of the day. For. ex-
ample, many persons can drink milk to-a
fair and useful amount at breakfast, with
whom it disagrees at other hours. And
the widely-advertised breakfast bacon"
by its name warns the consumer against
indulgence later in the day. Cafe au lait
and sweet, creamy tea are to many men
poisonous in the afternoon, though in
the prime OF the morning they are a
wholesome beverage to the same individ
uals. Let the vigor, good humor and
refreshment then felt by healthy man
be utilized without delay in eating a
hearty meal Immediately after he is
dressed, and not frittered away in the
frivolties of other occupations. Let not
reading, writing or business-muscular,
political or economical-exhaust the
nervous system. The newspapers and
letters should not be opened. preferably
not delivered, till the appetite is thor.
oughly appeased.

WASHING WOoLENs.-Prof. Artus
who has devoted himself to the discovery
of the reason why woolen clothing when
washed in soap and water will insist upon
shrinking and becoming thick, and
acquiring that peculiar odor and feeling
which so annoys housekeepers, says these
evil effects are due to the decomposition
of soap by the acid present in the prespi-
ration and other waste of the skin which
the clothing absorbs. The fat Of the
soap is then precipitated upon the wool.
These effects may be prevented by steep
ing the articles in warm solution of
washing soda for several hours, then
adding some warm water and few drops
of ammonia. The wOolens are then to be
washed out and rinsed in lukewarm
water.

Oregon has new cereal which looks
like wheat, rye and barley, and isn't
either Of them, and the leading agri-
culturists" ofthe State are puzzling them
selves about it. Its history is strange.
About four years ago farmer living in
Tilamook county, Oregon. killed a wild
goose, in whose crop he found peculiar
looking grain. He planted it; it multi
piled wonderfully, and he subsequently
raised forty bushels on half an acre of
land. Its growth is peculiar, from seven
to ten stalks .springing from one root.
The kernel is very thin and compact, of
a bright straw color and extremely hard.

Farm aao E;rcsioe.
Curl g Baee".

Take out the ribs, and after cutting
off the ham and shoulders, divide the side
longitudinally about half way up. The
upper half being the most solid fat and
meat, is cut in suitable pieces for the
pork barrel, and the lower half being
thin and strcaked alternately with fat
and lean, is just the thing for bacon.
Take off narrow strip from the lowest
belly side, which is all fat, and makes
good lard. Leave your BACON in one
piece, and put it in plain pickle ofsalt
and water strong enough to float a potato
for two weeks Gf the pork is very
heavy. let it remain for three days or
week longer), then hang in smoke house
and cure to light brown, more or less
according to the taste. Cut thin, trim
off the skin and smoky edges, and broil
or fry and eat hot, and yon have dish
relishing to the most delicate appetite,
and satisfying to the most hearty. Boiled
it is a delicious addition to poultry, and
is first rate eaten cold afterwards. The
English bacon is generally dry salted,
and much of it is hung up without any
smoke, except what it may get from the
farmers kitchen, a'..i is used through the
year as we use aIr salt pork. l find that
the pickle 10 quite as good and much less
trouble than the process of dry sailing.
Some add saltpetre, but think it has
tendency to make the meat hard, without
any corresponding benefit The bacon
put up in this country and sold as
"sugar-cured breakfast bacon" is very
nice and sweet but its flavor is exactly
like ham. The addition of the sweeten-
ing matter spoils it for my taste, and
takes away the simple and appetizing
flavor Of the pure salt and smoke. Put
sugar in your ham but keep it out of
your bacon.-Country Gentleman.

Sheep raising has had its ups and
downs like almost every kind of busi-
ness, but it is a question if any business
has paid better for series of years. The
rapid increase of sheep is very favorable
to farmers of small means who wish to
engage in wool growing. Sheep raising
is too much neglected in the west. The
animal that furnishes clothing, food and
light, which crops hill sides too steep for
other creatures to ascend, is entitled to
vastly more credit than it receives

Cheap ana Warm Mittens for Farmers.

During period of thirty years
past we have been accustomed to make
cheap and durable mittens in the fol-
lowing manner, to be worn when per-
forming all sorts of out OF door work: A
good sheepskin is purchased for about
81, which ha, been tanned with the wool
on. The wool, of course, is short-not
more than half an inch in length. A
sheepskin of medium size will make
from three to four pairs of mittens, as
per the size of the hands. A pattern was
first made out of stiff brown paper. The
paper thumb-piece must be neatly fitted
to the pattern. Then the leather will fit
the thumb-hole. One pattern will an
swer for both mittens if the leather is
turned over after one mittcn has been
cut out. Sometimes the mittens are
made with the wool outward, and some
times the wool is inside. When mittens
are to be used for handling wood, stone,
lumber and other things which are liable
to wet them the leather is smeared with
a coat of coal-tar, which must be dried
in before the fire. A coat of coal tar will
prevent the leather from becoming wet
like piece of vet cloth, and it will also
make the mittens wear like horn. Apply
tar only to the parts that are most exposed
to contact with the material to be han
died. In lieu of sheepskiu We
have sometimes employed tanned calf
skin. Mittens will keep hands much
warmer than gloves. Procure a glover's
needle of triangular shape, let thesedges
of the leather be wettej before the nit.
tens are sewed, employ strong thread,
well waxed with beeswax, and the nit
tens will render excellent scryiee.-M
