gether half d cupful of sugar, the white of
an egg, and six tablespoonful Of grated

ROAST PORK AND CHEsTNUTs.-Take a
rib Of pork, weighing four or five pounds,
and crack the bones so that it will roll up.
Peel half a pint Of chestnuts and cook
them in a little water, chop and spread
them over the pork. roll it up like jelly

ends with skewers, lay it in your dripping
pan and set it in a moderate oven to cook
two and a half or three hours. Half an
hour before it is done, dredge flour over
and brown it. This is d very savory dish.
COWs.-As soon as COWS are put on dry
feed, the milk falls off, but if they are well
fed, what is lost in quantity is gained in
gu ality. A COW that is milking should
have at least two quarts Of mixed corn
meal and bran daily, with as much chopped
hay as she will eat. A COW will usually eat
two bushels of the hay in a day. Some
roots in addition would be useful. Dry
COWS should have one quart daily +; it will
not hurt a COW to take on a little fat at
this season, nor make her milk any less
when she comes in.
WHAT TO Do + THE CORN STUB
BLE.-Fieldst that have been cleared in time
should be plowed in readiness for early
sowing OF oats in spring. II roots are to
follow the corn, the stubble may be plowed
at once and sown with rye. Three OF foul
bushels should be sOWn to the acre. This
rye will furnish a heavy crop of green fod-
der next May, or an excellent early pasture
in the spring, or may be plowed under as a
green manuring. In either case the x
pense of the seed, which is the only outlay,
will be many times repaid in the increase
Of the following crop.
TREATMENT OF CRoUP.-A German
physician, DR.. Stehverger, recommends the
treatment of Group by the inhalation of
pure glycerine through one or other of the
well known forms of atomiZing apparatus.
He was led to try this remedy for Group
from observing its good effects in cases Of
hoarseness and loss of voice. After appli-
cation, the cough becomes more free and
moist, and children are enabled to sleep
almost Immediately upon being relieved by
the inhalation. It is, however, believed to
be of Importance to make use of the REM
edy early and frequently, as, if delayed, it
may lave no effect whatever. If the glyo-
crime be pure, it may be used unmixed F; if
not, it should be diluted with q little wa
ter. The i~nhalations are repeated, accord
ing to the necessity of tie case, at inter-
walls Of from half an hour to an hour and
a half, and for about fifteen minutes at q
time.
