nurses; but not great layers. The
Plymouth Rocks are medium in
size; more stylish and good layers.
Poultry need close attention when kept
in large quantities, to see that their
quarters are kept clean; that they have
plenty of range for exercise; that they
be supplied with both green and dry
food, and also with animal food, and
that they have plenty of pure water.
They also require warm quarters in
winter. There is no special science in
the management of fowls, except to
exercise good business Judgment in
the management of the yards.
SALT FOR Cows.-A correspondent
in the Country Gentleman says that his
experience in the milk business is de-
cidedly IN favor of free use of salt for
cows giving milk both summer and
winter.
One winter he fed hay that had been
sal,ed when it was put in, and fed on
salt in addition, as it was unnecessary.
Alter that hay was gone, he fed hay
that was not sailed, and the milk de-
creased in quantity day after day for
couple Of weeks, causing him to
weuder what was the matter, when
suddenly he remembered the cows were
having no salt; he then commenced to
feed salt regularly and in few days
the flow Of milk was up to its usual
quality.
Farmers should not neglect to give
their animals salt; it improves their
appearance, gives relish to their food,
keeping up hearty appetite, improves
the quantity Of the milk, hence, butter
of better quality and flavor.
Fattening ANIMALS need salt and in
feeding it should not DO neglected.
Salt helps digestion, keeps the animals
in healthy condition, and enables them,
by making the food more palatsble and
nutritious, to lay on flesh and more
solid.

AN EASY WAY TO CLEAN PLATE.-A
flannel and soap, and soft water, with
proper rubbing, will clean plate nicely.
II should be wiped dry with a good
sized piece of soft leather.
To KEEP MUsLINs OF Coon Colon.
Never wash muslins, or any kind Of
white cotton goods, with linen; for the
latter deposits or discharges a gum and
coloring matter every time it is washed,
which discolors and dyes the cotton.
Wash them by themselves.
LINEN.-A tablespoonful OF black
pepper put in the first water in which
gray and buff linens are washed will
keep them from spotting. 1t will also
generally keep the colors of black or
colored cambrics, or muslins from run
ming, and does not harden the water.
FURNITURE OL.-Put into jar one
pint of linseed oil, into which STIR one
ounce of powdered rose pink, and one
ounce of alEanet root, beaten in NOR
tar; set the jar in warm place for a
few days, when the oil may be poured
off, and will be excellent for darkening
new mahogany.
FEED THE TREEs.-Orchards love
good feed as other farm crops. II there
is manure to spare after the regular
farm crops have had their share, let
the trees have some. 1t is not neces-
sary to pillow it beyond where the roots
extend. II newly planted fruit trees
do not seem to push their buds freely
cut them back little. A good prun-
ing is often the best medicine for Q
sick tree.
To MAKE FINE PANCAKES, FRIED
WITHOUT BUTTER OR LARD.-Tske q
pint of cream and six new-laid eggs;
beat them we'll together; put in q
quarter of pound of sugar and one
nutmeg or little beaten mace-which
you please, and so much as will thicken
almost as much as ordinary pancake
flour batter; your pan must be heated
reasonably hot, and wiped with clean
cloth; this done, spread your batter
thin over it, and fry.
VEAL LoAF.-Chop three pounds Of
veal and a slice or two of salt pork I'M
til as fine as sausage meat; mix with It
twelve oyster crackers rolled very fine;
two eggs beaten light, tablespoonful
of salt, a small tablespoonful of pow
dered sage, and a tablespoonful Of
melted butter. Work all thoroughly
together, pack it in tin pan Just
large enough to hold it. sprinkle few
'at ker crumbs on the top, cover With
another pan and bake for two hours.
Turn it out on dish and serve in thin
slices. 1t is much better cold than
h t.
OLD FASHIONED LEMON PIE.-When
/ was a girl at home some one gave me
a receipt for lemon pie, and all through
the years that have interviewed since
then l have remembered IL, and the
other day tried it, and we called It
something nice and neD: To the juice
of one lemon add half cupful OF sugar
and half cupful OF nice molasies.
While the sugar is dissolving chop the
remainder Of the lemon (after remoy-
ing part of the yellow rind) very fac;
add to it the juice; cover very large
baking plate with good crust, pour
in the mixture, shake over it about a
tablespoonful OF flour, cover with a
short crust rolled pretty thick, and
bake in a very quick oven. You must
stick the upper crust very carefully I'M
der the lower one in order to save all
the juice.
