Castor oil in which small quantity
of lamp-black has been stirred is an ex-
cellent air and waterproof composition
for boots and shoes in winter. 1t closes
the pores of the leather, excluding both
air and water, consequently making the
feet very much drier and warmer. This
has been tested for many years and can
be confidently recommended.

milk; put over slow fire, and, when

it one boil; add two or more hard boiled,
tinely-chopped eggs, and it is ready for
service from sauce tureen. The fish
should be laid on fancy-folded napkin
on platter, and garnished with sprigs
of parsley, to serve.
The Michigan Farmer says that the
farming industry is sound, healthy,
strong and vigorous. There is no over
production, no, surplus stock, but fair
demand. There is better show for the
farmer than for almost any other trade
or profession. Labor is cheaper, ma
chinery and tools are cheaper, and the
farmer can buy his supplies and groce-
ries at old ante-war rates. And farmers
are in a position financially to take ad-
vantage of existing circumstances.
Hired Men.-Get the best hands,
and keep them. When a man has be.
come used to his work and his employer
he is worth much more than a stranger
There is way of making men interested
in their work, of satisfying their self-re-
spect, giving them credit for success,
while holding them strictly responsible
| for failure, and above all by paying
them promptly and literally, that will
make their work worth double what it
would otherwise be.-ErchGnge.
Yorkshire Pudding with Roast Meat
One pound of flour, teaspoonful salt,
six eggs, and water sufficient to make a
smooth batter. When your meat is done
pour off the fat and stand it aside while
you make your gravy and dish your
meat. Keep it hot by placing it over a
saucepan of boiling water, then pour the
fat back into your dripping-pan, put it
into the oven to get hot, then pour the
batter in and bake about twenty min.
utes or half an hour in good quick
oven.
Oatmeal for Infants Oatmeal for
a very young infant may be prepared in
| this way: Take three or four tablespoon
! fuls of best Scotch or Irish oatmeal to a
quart of cold water and let it soak all
night. In the morning drain off the
water and boil it mot the meal but the
water). 1t will soon thicken and be-
come cruel. You can add salt and
sugar if you like, and mix with milk, or
if the child likes it without the milk it
can be eaten that way. The meal that
has been soaked will make very good
dish for the family breakfast.
Cement for Cracked Hoofs.-Mr
Delay has discovered a preparation by
means of which sand cracks or fractures
in hoof or horn may be durably cemented
up. Even pieces of iron can be securely
joined together by its means. The only
precaution necessary for its successful
application is the careful removal of all
grease by spirits of sal ammonia, sui
phide of carbon or ether. MIR. Delay
makes no secret of it's composition,
which is as follows Take one part of
coarsely-powdered gum ammoniacum
and two parts gutta-percha, in pieces the
size of hazel-nut. Put them in tin
lined vessel over slow fire, and stir
constantly until thoroughly mixed. Be-
