The Drains.- The Massachusetts
PoughmGn contains an article on home
drains, from which we extract the follow
ing: "We ought to take care that in the
midst of the hurry of our fall work the
drains and the moisture about the house,
the barns and pig-pens are not allowed
to stagnate and fill the air with poisonous
exhalations. The neglect of the drains
is by no means uncommon about country
houses, and this is, without doubt, the
source of many diseases and fevers.p ,i
-Belvidere Cakes.-The size of a
breakfast plate. Onequart of -four, four
eggs, a piece of butter the size of an egg,
piece of lard the same size. Mix the
butter and lard well with the flour; beat
the eggs very light in pint bowl Fill
it up with cold milk; then pour it gradu-
ally into the -four, which must be made
into tolerably stiff dough. Add full
teaspoonful of salt, and work briskly
for eight or ten minutes; if worked too
long it will fall Cut off squares of the
dough with knife the size that you wish
your cakes to be, roll them out, and bake
in quick oven. -p''HA'' A''iH3'4R
"A Western fruit-grower reports that
he made the following experiment: A
branch one inch in diameter was cut
from tree of Rawles Genet on the first
day of each month in the year, and at
the end of five years, when all were
sealed over, they were opened and found
to have deeayed the least in those cut IN
February or March Tor just before the
swelling of buds), and most in those cut
in June or July, or during the growing
| season. This goes to show that the best
time to prune fruit trees is early in the
spring, before the sap begins to flow
freely, which has been the custom of
most fruit-growers for century past.
Superb Cake.-Use the. whites of
one dozen eggs, the yelks only of six, d
pound of sugar, pound of butter, half
a pound of -four, and half pound of
meal. For seasoning use the juice of
two large lemons. Cream the sugar and
butter together, and then mix with the
yelks well beaten. Then add alternate
ly portion of the whites, whipped stiff,
and the sifted -four, until it is all in.
The meal, of course, goes in with the

well-regulated oven. This can also be
baked on thin tin plates, and piled up,
when done, with jelly or preserves be
tween each LAYER.
Foot Diseases in Sheep.-An English
veterinarysurgeon in lieu of touching the
feet of sheep with the usual astringents
"a solution of copperas, white vitriol,
calcined alum, or spirits of turpentine,
advises the superior efficacy of quick
lime used thus: Make a well-trodden
floor; raise border with puddled clay
around the inclosure, SO as TO secure the
uniform depth Of nine inches toward
the middle of the run; pour into this
bath four barrels of water, and distrib-
ute over the bottom two cwt. of quick
lime, covering it over with dozen bun
dies of refuse fodder from the racks, so
as to form carpet. Drive the sheep
into this foot-bath, one hundred at q
time, and compel them to pass and re-
pass from one end to the other The
spread fodder prevents the feet sinking
too profoundly, and acts as a brush at
the same time for forcing the caustic so
luton to enter the nails. This bath
should be.,renewed often, since the quick
lime will soon absorb carbohic acid suffi-
cient to destroy its causticityaf o8r .a4
