and tobacco for some time. When done
take out the ingredients and stir in the
copperas. Put it on with painters
brush. When dry, mop over with weak
i've. Wax and rub while damp.
Picking Eggs for Winter Use.-
Strong lime water is the best of any
thing, but in the absence of lime many
pack their eggs small end down in COM
mon salt. Some grease the shell in
melted lard and pack in bran. A very
good way too, is to fill colander full
of eggs and pour over them a teakettle-
full of boiling water, then, when cool,
pack in salt The hot water slightly
cooks the outside of an egg, making it
air-tight. This is favorite way with
many housekeepers.
| -Maccaronl and Cheese. Wash the
maccaroni and put into boiling milk and
water for fifteen minutes; then drain in a
colander; cut across with a knife into
two-inch lengths, and put layer into a
buttered pudding dish; then layer of
grated old cheese; then sprinkle of dry
mustard, pinch of salt and a few Jumps
of butter; then a layer of maccaroni
again, and the other ingredients, and so
on till the dish is full. On the top put
thick layer of grated cheese. Bake
half an hour in quick oven. 1t should
be nicely Drowned on the top.
Snow Flake Pudding. Half box of
gelatine, the whites of three eggs, sugar
and vanilla to taste. Soak the gelatne
! in enough cold water to cover it, for an
hour, then add a teacupful of boiling
water. When the gelatine is dissolved
add enough cold water to make pint of
it altogether Strain this on a platter,
put the whites of the eggs in it, and beat
it until it is a stiff foam. When half
beaten sweeten with white sugar, add
Che vanilla and finish beating. Then
put it into cups. When cold and shaped
in the cups turn 1t out and eat with
cream.
Sometimes celery prematurely rots,
which is generally owing to its rank
growth Just before it is put into the
trenches in the fall. Another cause
of rotting is dryness of the ground
when it is lifted to put into the
trenches, and continued drought three
or four weeks after it is put in, which
prevents it from starting roots The
rotting may be prevented by leaving
some earth attached to the roots when
the celery is dug up, setting the plants
Immediately in the trench, packing the
earth firmly around the roots; and if the
ground is dry apply little water.
! 1n
the method of pruning hedges, which
cuts them, in fact, every year for several
years nearly to the ground. The plan
now proposed by many who ought tc
know seems quite sensible. 1t is to le'
the plants grow for couple or ever
three years getting good vigor of roo'
which is not easily killed. Then when
the top is cut off near the ground there il
strength sufficient to throw up vigor
Gus lot of shoots which can be trimmed
into shape easily and there is less danger
from winter-kiIling in case Usage orange
plants are employed.
The Country Gentleman gives the fol
lowing recipe for ringboqe: Mix wei
one and one-half dramS biniodine o
mercury with one ounce ~ lard. Rul
this ointment we'll in the SIN daily owe
the Jumps, shaving off Npephair TIVE
hours after each application paint tn,
blisters with soft brush) with tinctur'
of arnica, one ounce, to water twelv
ounces. Do this daily for week, thel
once a week, then repeat. This will
generally cure recent cases so they viii
show no lameness, but the lump will re
main. The colt should be kept tied, s.
that he cannot bite the blisters. N
remedy will remove the Jumps.
Apple pomace is very largely cate
by cows, horses and pigs, and is doubt
, less good for the animals, if not very NJ
tritious, as a laxative diet. We have a.
ways preserved the pomace in barrels fo
, this express purpose, feeding pailfu
to each animal as long as it lasted. 1t
,, money value is not much; probably te
cents for barrelful would be all that
J is actually worth. We would not wis
to pay more than that for it, and W
|, would not care to sell it for that price
We would advise all those who make Ct
der to bring home from the mill or pre-
serve the pOmace for their animals; it
, at least worth that trouble, if only to Sc
every sort of animal about the farm en-
joying a mess of it. If packed tight il
barrels it will keep some months.--N ]
