usEFuL AND SUGGESTIVE.

DouGuNUTs.-One cup of sugar, one
cup of cream, or, IL you don't have II, take
a cup of sweet milk, add lump Of but
ter the size of an egg, one teaspoonful of
cream tartar, half one of soda; flour
enough TO roll.
EXTRACT OF LEMoN.-Best alcohol, one
pint; oil of lemon, one ounce; peel oftwO
lemons. Break the peels and put in with
the others for few days; then remove
them. 1t costs but triile compared with
that which is kept for sale at the stores.
CIV. RILEY, President Of the Missouri
Agricultural College, wants Congress to
appoint a commission TO investigate the
habits of Rocky Mountain insects" as he
believes that grasshoppers, potato-bugs,
and the other pests of bad character which
worry farmers come from that region.
MILKING KICKING Cows.--Take a leath-
or strap one and quarter inches wide
and about two feet long; fasten buckle
on one end, and then six inches from the
buckle fasten an iron ring of sufficient
size to allow the strap to pass through I;
then pass the strap around the left leg,
through the ring, then around the right
leg, and buckle tight. 1t is impossible
for the COW to kick If drawn tightly.
This method does not retard the flow of
milk.-O0r. Country Gentleman.
THE grand objection made to the beau
tiful silver jcwelry that has been in use
during the last few years was its tarnish-
ing so soon. 1t looks white like frost
work when new, but directly becomes
dull and leadcn in hue, nor will scrubbing
or rubbing with any ordinary compost
ton bring back its beauty. BY very
simple process II can be restored in few
minutes. Place rod or some filings of
zinc in a vial containing strong spirits of
ANN onia and let it stand few days
then by immersing the articles therein
and drying them before a fire they will
become bright and clean.--DetroH Free
Press.
For crystallizing grasses, take quart
Of soft water and eighteen ounces of pure
alum. Boil it slowly in a close tin vessel,
stirring occasionally with clean stick
until the alum is all dissolved. When the
liquor is almost cold suspend the grasses
to be crystallized by a string from a stick
laid across the mouth OF jar of earthen-
ware, or glass, into which pour the solu-
tion. The grasses should remain thus for
| twcnty.four hours, and then be taken out
and hung in the shade to dry. If the So
luton is quite cold the crystals will form
too large; if too hot they will be too
small. The best temperature is 90 deg.
Fahrenheit.
CANNED MEATS are becoming an exten-
sive article of commerce, also canned fish
of all kinds. The latter are to be found
in the groceries of all our villages. The
canning of meats is late undertaking
and promises to become general. We vent
ure the prediction that the old method OF
preparing meats with salt will, ere long,
be abandoned for some process of canning.
Salt meats are Objectionable for many, and
for the best of reasons, while there are
none at all to the known methods of pre-
serving by excluding the air. Farmers
may be slow to believe that they are to
give up the old pork.barrel, the laying
down of the fat sides TO be drawn upon
for the year to come, but they may find it
to their profit, comfort and health to do
so.-Detr0it Tribune. -
