siltol into the dry meal, plenty OF salt,
mix thoroughly, and boil for at least
furr hours in tin pail well buttered,
covered tight, anil set on plate in Il
pot Of boiling water when the water is
renewed it must be boiling. Many per
sons think lyo flour ID tho same us rye
Graham, but tho former will not make
Boston brown bread Mt all. I use q
coffee cup fora measure, and unless the
recipe is carefully followed the bread
will not be success; if it is I will
guarantee the dish will be OF tho very
lines.
EorLED APPLE PuDDISG.-Peel the
apples and put them in a kettle it
halves, with pint Of water, small
lump Of butter. little salt, nutmeg,
and handful Of sugar. Make a soda
biscnit crust about onc.third inch thick,
and put it on tho top OF tho apples
make hole in tho center OF tho crust
boil until the apples aro thoroughly
cooled. Serve with n hot sauce. a
plate turned upside down III tho kettle
will prevent it from burning.
BEEAD PsycAKR.-Soak pieces of stale
bread i'll water until quite foft; drum
through n sieve, then rub the bread
through colander. To a quart add
three eggs and milk enough to make q
soft batter.

pint of baking powder, mix together
dry; add two well. beaten eggs, one

sired. Boil two hours.
Care OF stock.
The Live Stock Record says There il
probably more loss sustained by farmers
through careleSsness than from almos
any other cause, and hence the i'm
porta0ce OF forming careful habits. Tho
winter il now approaching, ard no mat
ter how bountiful in quantity or goot
III quality tho fo5d Tor stock may be, i
they havo not sufficient protection Of
shclttf from tho severe winter wind
and cold rains, the loss, il not of life
will necessarily be very considerable.
II Il man will but observe the effects Of
c'll rains on hogs, cattle, and horses
lr will certainly observe tho necessity
Of shielding them from them. 1t is i'm
possible that the normal processes OF di
grStiOu and assimilation Of food cal pro
coed regularly when tho animal is OK
posed to all tho seventies of tile weather
No doubt this is one reason why domes
lie breeds so rapidly degenerate whel
put from under the care Of man. II j!
no uncommon thing to zee farmers
stock houses wretchetily ont OF repair
the winds whistling through them, nnt
tho rains driving into them, making
them damp piercing cold. Then it il
often tho case that hogs havo no shelter
other than they can find themselves
The qualities Of animals thus exposed
must inevitably degenerate, so that los!
is sustained, although il may escape th,
observation OF the stupid farmer. wht
supposcs that man alone needs protec
ton from tho weather. From this one
cause many II farmer loses hundreds O.
dollars every year.
But domestic anirals are subject K
the same diseases ns man-pneumonia
typhoid fever, inflammation Of III,
bowels, etc. These diseases are pro
duced by similar or the same causes III
man. Much sickness and death Of live
stock may be prevented by judicioul
feeding, shelter, md hyGicnic care
What il 80 often Inscribed to bad luck
ought in truth to be ascribod to thu
slothful habits aud ignorance Of farmers
Nature commits tho domestic animalt
to man as part OF his stock in trade
but the laws Of animal life and healtl
aro not suspended, and the farmer who's
procedure violates these laws must pay
for his Ignorance or carolessness il
money or it's equivalent. Outhousel
kept in sufficient number and in goot
repair. will rs certainly pay as well cul
LivAted fields.
Pork--Ilow to Cut and Trim.
Have tho hog Ind on his back on q
stout table. Clean the carcass Of the
leaf fat. Take off his feet at tho ankle
joints. Cut tho head of close to the
shoulders, separating the jowl from the
skull, and open the skull leugthwiso on
tho undor side, 30 as TO remove the
brains fully. Remove the backbone in
its whole length, aud with a sharp knife
cut of tho skin, then the fat, leaving
only about ono-half inch Of fat on the
spinal column. The middlings or sides
are now cut from between the quarters,
leaving tho shoulders square shaped,
and the ham pointed, or 1t may DO
rounded to suit your fancy. The ribs
nre next removed partially or entirely
with the sides. The trimmings or fat
from the hnins md iabby parts OF the
