FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


49,
Give the fruit trees q good coat Of
whitewash. II will destroy many enc
mics, such as bark louise, etc.
Onion seed sown now, thickly, and
allowed to get the size of peas and then
pulled and dried, will make splendid
"sets" next spring.
If fne-cut tobacco is sprinkled un-
der the edge of carpets and under those
places where bookcases, bureaus, ETC.,
make it dark, 1t will prevent the moths
from laying their eggs in them.
To Prevent the Hair from Falling
Out.-Get from the druggist ten cents
worth of dried rosemary, Pour upon it
q quart of cold water and boil for four
hours. Strain into bottles, which must
be kept tightly corked. Apply once or
twice day to the roots of the hair.
--Quince Preserves. s.--Pare, halve and
take out the cores; boil the parings in
new cider till soft; strain the cider, and
for every pound of fruit allow half a
pound of brown sugar; clarity it with the
beaten white of an egg, and then put in
the ounces. There should be more than
enough cider to cover them, as it wastes
great deal in boiling; mince the rind of
an orange and add. This preserve is
best for common use.
To Can Peaches Half pound of
sugar to one pound of peaches. Put the
sugar on the fire with little water; let il
boil until the sirup is clear; then put in
the peaches and let them boil until heated
through. Take the peaches out with a
perforated ladle. Pour the hot sirup
over the peaches and no sealing of
jars is necessary. This recipe has been
proved to be reliable, and if you
prefer to put up your fruit without sugar
it may be done by using more water, but
otherwise proceeding as directed above
Peach Meringue.-Select pie plate
that is not too deep, and, after arranging
lower crust, fill with peaches halved
stoned and pared; sprinkle sugar over
them, and bake until done. Canned
peaches will answer as well as fresh ones
If some of the sirup from the can and a
small quantity of sirup are added
When cool, spread over it the whites OF
two eggs, beaten very light, and flavor
with rose-water or vanilla. Sprinkle
over the top three teaspoonfuls of sand
sugar, and let it brown in the oven a few
minutes.
How Far Will the Roots of Plants
Run?-In November had field of cab
bage set out, and in January / planted
cucumbers alongside of the cabbage, and
four and half feet apart. Gradually
noticed the outside row of cabbage out
stripping all others, and when the adjoin
ing row of cucumbers came up they
looked yellow and sickly, and made /
very slow growth, not producing a GU
! cumbcr on the entire row, while the cab
bage gave me some beautiful heads
Both were well fcrtilized Query: Die
the roots of the cabbage run the four an(
u half feet? Does it not show us that a.
a rule gardeners can concentrate the fer
tilizers too directly under the hills o.
plants, when the strength is taken VI
before the bearing season arrives?-FlOr

Stuffed Tomatoes This recipe i
from an English journal: Take about a
many tomatoes as there will be people Il
eat them; cut circle off the top of each
and with small spoon remove all tn
pips, which put on one side; then make
stufiing of shallots, Mushrooms and breat
crumps, in the proportion of ten shallot
and half pound of mushrooms for ever
ten tomatoes. Mince the shallots, sepa
rately, very small, and toss them in
saucepan with some butter When cooked
add the mushrooms, also cut up small
with parsley, salt and pepper, and enougl
bread crumbs to make a good thick paste
Squeeze the tomato pips, and with tn
juice moisten the stuffing, after whic
divide the latter into as many portions a
there are tomatoes, inserting one into tn
hollow of each tomato; then recover tn
vegetables with the circles cut off tn
top; place them in dish large enough
contain all, near one another; pour owe
them two tablespoonfuls of olive-oil, bak
in the oven half an hour, and serve.
