Fried Caulitiower is thus prepared :.
Boil and mash, season with pepper and
salt. To one medium-sized head add
half a pint of milk, two well-beaten
eggs, and -four enough to make bat
ter. Put spoonful at time in a pan
Of hot lard, or better, butter, and fry
a light brown on both sides. A good
breakfast dish.
When corn arrives at full roasting
ear state it can be most protitably fed
by being cut and fed stalk and ear to-
gether, since at no period is there more
sugar-which is necessary in fattening
to be found in the plant. And then
hogs eat every part with an appetite
that shows their appreciation of the
dainty food provided for them.
Elder Evans, the Shaker, SAYS /:
For the past ten years we have treated
felons with hot water, and with uner-
ring success. No cutting. no blister
ing, no anything, bat immersing the
finger, hand, or even the whole arm if
necessary, in water as hot as can be
borne, until the pain is gone and the
core is loosened and drawn from the
bone. When rusty nails have produced
wounds, the same course has been
pursued. If on the hand or foot, keep
it in hot water.
When the joints are stiffened with
rheumatism or a settled cold, the fol-
lowing applications are said to be
capital and enable the sufferer to move
with ease: Cut into small bits Cor
CRATE it, one ounce of CASTLE soap.
Add heaping tablespoonful of red
Cayenne pepper. Have these in a
small pitcher and then pour on to them
half pint of boiling hot water. Stir
until all is dissolved and add little
cider brandy or alcohol when bottling.
An application of the above brings the
blood in a glow to the joints. Dip a
little sweet oil on to relax the muscles.
One pound of Paris green is enough
for an acre of potatoes for one season.
One tablespoonful in bucket of water
is about the usual proportion; this
sprinkled over the tops of the vines
through common sprinkling pot is
the proper way of applying. A small
patch can be sprinkled with a little
whisk broom. Two or three doses
usually do the work Paris green can
also be mixed with flour or plaster. and
busted on the leaves. Chemists have
decided that this poison does not affect
the tubers. The small quantity adj
yised kills the bugs as readily us if
more were to be used. BE sure and
get good quality of Paris green. ".

The Bee-Keepers' Magazine con-
talns bit of testimony from a CORE
spondent that goes far to relieve the
klng-Bird from an unjust imputation
that has long weighed against it. A
pair of the birds, flying back and forth
III the vicinity of bee-hives. and APP
parently making a meal on the indus
trious insects, were killed on the spot,
and the contents of their gizzards care
fully inspected. Abundant remains of
winged ants were found, but not a
trace of honey-bee in either bird. In
another case, brood of nestlings of
the king-Bird were shot, and their
crops and giZzards examined They
were filled with berries, red ants, small
beetles, and one large wasp, but not a
honey-bee occurred in the whole mass.
Yet the parent-birds passed by hive
OF bees on every trip in quest Of food
for their offspring.
