powdered, one teaspoon soda. or saleratus
dissolved in a very little boiling water, one
cupful Of good sifted flour, one teaspoon
cream tartar; bake Immediately in a quick
oven.1 Beat sig eggs ,tw6 minutes, Ida
three cups sugar anu beat one minute, two
cups Hour and beat two minutes, one cup
cold wates and beat five minutes, Observe
the time exactly, and bake in deep pans
This makes two good sized loaves. A
good steady heat is required to have it
nice, and not too hot an oven.
An excellent tapioca pudding is thus
made: Put three tablespoons of tapioca to
soak opsr night in lukewarm water; in
the morning, pour on this one quart of
milk, and set it on the stove till it comes
to boil, add a pinch Of salt and four or
five tablespoons of white sugar, the yolks
of three eggs, which, when you pour; in,
eools it; let it come to bon again, or I'M
til it thickens, stirring all the time, then
pour it in your pudding dish; then beat

The knives Of moving and reaping
machines operate with crushing stroke
Hence it is Of great importance that the
cutting edges should be kept sharp. When
the cutting edges have become dull the
grass and straw must be severed by bruis-
ing, process requiring three or -four
times as much force of the team AS iflthe
cutting edges of the, same knives were
sharp. When grass is fife and thick at
the bottom the mower will run hard I'm.
less the knives are kept as sharp as the
edges can be made with fine gritted
grindstone. Our own practice is to keeE
| a fine file with the machine, so that the
cutting edge Of any knife may be sharp
cned in case it meets with some pl5struc
ton Which has dulled it. 1t will pay
generously, by way of saving horse flesh
and muscle, to keep the knives sharp
Beside this, when the knives are KEEP
sharp, the grass will be moved more neat
ly than it can be done with dull cutters
More than this, when the knives are dull
the wear and tear of the machine will be
greatly increased Do not fail to keer
the knives sharp, even when it seem!
necessary to grind the cutting edges three
or four times daily.-N. Y. Herald.
"A horse with heaves or inflammation
of the lungs requires avery differcn
treatment from one with collie or worms
Let him be turned out to pasture forty
eight hours, and he will breathe clear an(
easy, showing no sign Of the hcaves. A
dainty horse is not liable to hcavcS, but
hearty eater is, and not from the amour
of food that he eats, but owing to the hog
gish way in which he eats it. There arr
two pipes leading to the stomach ant
lungs. Where they meet there is IA throt
| tle-valve. A horse in eating coarse fooe
stretches his throttle. Then by Il hare
| drive, and warming the horse, he take
cold in this wound and it becomes a run
ming sore. By turning him to grass, tn,
| juice cleanses and washes the wound
The grass being cool in effect takes thu
inflammation from the disease, the swell
ing is gone and the horse brcathcs FREE
and easy as ever. Then by feeding will
coarse and dry hay, it irritates ant
creates inflammation, and causes the ami
NAL to breath hard again. Take balsan
of fir and balsam of copavia, equal parts
add enough calcincd magnesia to max,
into balls the size of yelk of an egg
Give ball night and morning for ten o
fifteen days, in the grain; wet will
smartwced tea, not very strong. For tw'
weeks after giving the medicine, cut tn
hay and wet the feed that the horse eats
A little brown sugar in the feed for
few days.-Pomeroy's Democrat.
