USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

PATRoN's FRUIT CAKE.-The day be-
fore YOU make the cake stew two cups of
dried apples till soft, chop fine and SIM
mer in two cups of molasses from one TO
two hours. Next morning add one cup
of sour milk, two small teaspoonfuls of
soda, one cup of sugar, one nutmeg
grated, one teaspoonful each of cloves
and cinnamon, butter the size Of an egg,
and flour enough to make as stiff as GIN
gerbread; raisins improve it. Bake with
a steady fire. Time improves it and
icing will keep it from drying and getting
hard.
A CORRESPONDENT asks how to dye
hair switches a dark brown. Perhaps
others of our household readers will be
glad to learn that they can do it easily
themselves, without the use of any
chemicals. Take, say, the eighth of a
pound of poor black tea and boil, using
soft water, in a rusty iron kettle, or if
you have none that is rusty, put in an old
iron of some kind, boil an hour or two,
adding water as needed to keep up a
quantity sufficient to cover your hair
well, then strain, put in the hair to be
dyed, and simmer gently, stirring and
airing often, until it is of the desired
shade, dry, rinse out, and dress with an

ROAST HAUNcH OF VENIsoN.-The
| flavor of venison is improved by being
kept as long as possible and yet remain
| ing perfectly sweet. Choose haunch
with clear, bright and thick fat. The
more fat the better the meat. Wash it
in warm water and dry it well with a
cloth butter a sheet of white paper and
put over the fat; lay the venison in a
deep bakingdish with either closely
fitting lid or coarse paste one-half inch
thick. Cook in a moderately hot oven
for from three to four hours, according
to the size of the haunch. About twenty
minutes before it is done quicken the
fire, remove the paste or the dish cover,
dredge the joint with flour, and basic
well with butter until it is nicely frothed
and of fine delicate brown color. Gar
nish the knuckle-bone with frill of
white paper, and serve with a gravy
made from its own dripping-from which
the fat has been removed-placed in a
tureen. Currant jelly always accompa-
mics venison.

The Correct Way to Feed Straw and
Roots.

THE North British Agriculturist, in re-
ply to correspondent, thus describes
the proper method of feeding straw and
roots together: The straw should be cut
one and one-half inches long, and a
heaped teaspoonful of salt mixed to each
beast per day. The mixing process
should be accomplished the day before
the stuff is to be used, and water must
be within the animals reach. Hay for
horses should be cut three-quarters of an
inch long and put into deep boxes before
the animals. We prefer giving the
bruised oats and good, fresh Swiss
turnip or two daily, separate from the
cut hay. Rather less than an ounce of
salt daily is plenty for horse They
should get an ounce of inter every Satur-
day night. AS to the question of pulp
ing or straw-cutting paying, good deal
will depend on the power available. If
water-power can be obtained so much
the better; but if animal or steam power
Is employed the expense of the system
will be increased. We should be sur
prised to find that our correspondent
can keep nearly one-fourth more of cat
tie on his farm by means of pulping and
straw cutting. If the animals get what
they can eat they will consume more
turnips pulped with safety than in any
other way. The great advantages of
pulping are that there is no choking or
blowing; that feeders are enabled to
have turnips, though in a mixed state,
continually before cattle, and that cattle
will consume more roots and, we think,
take on fat and flesh rather quicker than
with any other system of feeding. Deeper
lrousns WIN DO required with pulped
roots and cut straw than for tl1o vra;.aru
system practiced in the district in which
our correspondent farms. We would not
advise the addition of cake to the mix
ture, as it is, we think, too costly to be
mixed up in such heap, and is more
satisfactorily given by itself 1t is de-
cided improvement, as preventing waste,
to cut the hay given to horses; and yet
more desirable is it to bruise the oats,
but we would give the nay and oats sep

Shrinking OF Seasoned Timber.

THE various kinds of oak, and some
other kinds of valuable timber, will
shrink more or less every time the sur
face is dressed off, even small fraction
of an inch. Wheelwrights accustomed
to work in oak are we'll aware of this
fact, and correct appreciation of it
often enables them to turn out work of
superior character, even of ordinary ma
teTials, by first blocking out the pieces
roughly, then allowing the timber to
season, and afterward working the various
parts by degrees, as the seasoning process
becomes more and more complete.
White oak spoke timber, for example,
may be allowed to remain in rough state
for half a score of years, under shelter,
without becoming seasoned so thorough
ly that the timber will not shrink after
the spokes have been dressed out. Car
rage wheels have often been made of the
choicest quality of oak timber after every
spoke had been seasoned for several
years, and to the great surprise of the
wheelwright every spoke would work in
the joints before the vehicle had run
three months. The defect in such in
stances could not be attributed to in
feIior timber, nor to perfunctory work
manship; but simply to this one circum-
stance-that the parts of the wheels
were put together before the timber had
ceased to shrink.
To prove that the best quality of oak
will shrink after a spoke has been
dressed out, let tenon be made on one
end and be driven Immediately into
mortise; after few days exposure in
warm workshop the spoke may be with
drawn with little difficulty. The same
fact will hold good In the manufacture
of woodwork of any kind where oak is
employed for lemons. In order to make
joints that will never start the piece ON
which the lemons are to be made should
be dressed over several times until the
shrinking has ceased Then let the
lemons be made. After these have
shrunk while exposed to the drying in
huence of warm workshop the spokes
or other parts may be driven into their
respective places, with the assurance
especially if they are dipped in oil paint
previous to driying) that the timber will
shrink ne more.
Many kinds of farming implements in
the manufacture of which oak and ash
are employed render very unsatisfactory
service, simply because the seasoned
timber was not allowed to shrink before
the lemons were driven into the mortises.

A Team Chased Four Miles by q Lo-
cOmOtive.

THE Hartford Comm Courant states
that one evening few weeks ago a span
of horses attached to a sleigh dashed
through the streets of that city, and were
caught and stabbed by a young man.
The horses were reeking with sweat, and
no owner appeared until late that even
ing, when Mr. Shaw came and stated
that the team was his. His story of the
runaway shows it to have been one of
the most remarkable on record. 1t APP
pears that Mr.. Shaw, who is woolbuyer
of Wales, Mass, started from home yester-
day morning, accompanied by his wife
and child, and by Mr.. S. Darling, wife
and child, on a trip to Hartford, by the
way of Rockville. All progressed well
until they came to the dangerous rail
road crossing near the cid toll-gate on
the Manchester road, about two miles
east of Burnside. The crossing is a
slanting one, and in driving over it a
runner of the sleigh followed one of the
rails so as to turn the sleigh over. All
the occupants were thrown out, but none
of them injured. The horses ran down
the track, the sleigh righting. They
were soon lost to view. The train from
Providence, due here at 6:15, was rap
idly approaching. Mr.. Shaw ran down
the track after his horses, and as the
train neared the crossing the rest of the
party made all efforts to signal the en-
gineer, but did not succeed. Mr.. Shaw,
who was some way down the track, also
signaled the train, and it slackencd up.
The conductor was hurriedly informed
of the catastrophe, and Mr.. Shaw begged
to be taken on board the train, and that
they proceed cautiously, he expecting to
find his team wrecked 10 some culvert or
cattle guard ahead. Strange to say, the
conductor turned away and the train
Numbered on, apparently regardless of
danger. But the horses had not fallen
nor parted from the sleigh. They kept
ahead of the train, leaping over culvert
pits, and ran about four miles AS they
neared the piling adjacent to the long
bridge over the river they turned from
the track, took the meadow road, dashed
through the toll-bridge and up Morgan
street to Main, to the point where they
were stopped. The sleigh was almost
uninjured, having only been bruised
slightly. The horses were not badly
hurt, though their legs were somewhat
Ont Mr. Shau haI f-,i-srou the team,
lnquiring at various places along the
road. On learning of its recovery he
dispatched a conveyance for the rest of
the party, who had found refuge at the
house of Mr.. Williams, near the scene of
the accident, and all were brought to the
city.

Punished by a Dog.

a PARIS correspondent writes: Zone
often hears the expression that such a
man is mean enough to steal the pen
mics from dead darkey's eyes but even
that forcible type of extreme meanness
was paralleled if not exceeded here lately
by young thief whose deeds met with
swift and appropriate reiribution the
other day. He had organized simpler
style of theft, which consisted in max
ing acquaintance with the blind beggars
who had their allotted stations in various
parts of Paris, in cultivatipg, by means
OF bones and scraps of meat, the friend
ship Of their dogs, and by then abstract
ing the sous which compassionate pass
ers-by would drop into the dish which
the intelligent poodle, the invariable
companion of the professional blind beg
gar of Paris, is trained to hold in his
teeth. A blind man, who had his sta
ton under a porte cochsre on the Rue de
Rivoli, has a very large and intelligent
dog, and became the object of this
young rascaPs attentions, as the location
is good one and the supplies usually
large. So he fed and fondled the dog for
some days, and then, one day when the
dish appeared to be unusually full, he at
tempted to take possession of il. But,
on the contrary, the poodle took posses
sion Of him; he seized him by the arm
and hung on with SO much energy and
perseverance that the thief shrieked
Justify for assistance. Up came the po-
lice, and the miserable rascal was con-
veyed in badly-hIttcn state to the sta
ton house, almost frightened 10 death,
aud declaring that the dog must have
been mad, so that fears of hydrophobia
are added to the legal punishment for
his misdeeds-"
