HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

BECAUSE our fertile fields have con-
sented to send abundant returns so
MANY years, it does not follow tha'
tbev will continue to do so forever.
The soil being a manufacturer it can,
not produce the perfect articles Oh
commerce if the raw material becomes
exhausted.
AFTER your geraniums have finished
Towering cut them back at least one,
half and place them in cool, shaded
place. Water them very sparlngly uh-
til new shoots begin to start, when
thev should be repotted with fresh SOIL
and brought to the light, and Watered
more abundantly as they attain growth.
POTATOES are hard to digest in
Young stomachs. Boiled potatoes are
much more indigestible than roasted
or baked. They should be well washed
and the outer skin rubbed off and then
baked on a wire CRATE. That part OF
potato which grows next the inner
skin is by far the most nutritious, con-
tanning large percentage OF nitrogen

full of salt Goldfish picked very fine, ant
two pint boWlfuls of whole raw peeled
potatoes put together into cold water

oughly cooked. Remove from the fir

the size of an egg; two well-beatel
eggs; pepper and salt to taste. Mi

THE white portion of different egg
may be almost pure albumen in botl
instances, in chemical point of view
Every one who has taken observation
concerning the taste of eggs after the.
have been cooked knows that there i
an immense difference in their flavor
Hens fed on clear, sound grain ant
kept on Il clean grass run will prodUc
much finer Favored eggs than hen
that have access to stable and manur
heaps and eat all kinds of filthy food
Hens feeding on fish and onions viii
flavor their eggs accordingly, the sam
as COWS eating onions or cabbage, o
drinking offensive water impart ba'
taste to the milk or butter. TIL
richer the food the higher the color o
the eggs. Wheat and corn will Civ
eggs the best color, while buckwhea
will make them cOlOrless, renderin
them useless for some cOnfectiOner
purposes. Fresh meat, milk, scrap
of bread and other garbage of simila
character will make eggs of the riches
, quality.-N. Y. Herald.
