sicum; avoid sauces, cheese, cakes, pies,
grayies, as food.
--Sausages.- pounds of lean,
fresh pork, half as much fat; grind the
meat, fat and lean, in sausage mill,
or use a chopping-knife; then mix in
with your hands twelve teaspoonfuls
powdered sage, six of black pepper, six
of salt, two of powdered mace, two OF
powdered cloves, one of grated nutmeg

lard on top or pack in narrow bags OF
stout muslin, and when filled, dip in
melted lard, and hang it up in cellar.
Baking Pork and Beans.-Pick and
wash your beans and soak them oveI
night. In the morning put them in an
iron kettle; put piece of pork in the
center; cover them with water; salt
them, as the pork will not be salt
enough; cover them over with lid that
fits pretty snug. Cook them five hours
in moderate oven. AS the water boils
off fill them up until about an hour be-
fore serving them; take off the lid that
they may brown, and you will have
beans with little or no trouble and very
excellent.

lean pork cut into small pieces; season
well with pepper, salt and little sage!

neither water nor butter; when the

ency to roll out, take round preserv-
ing pot familiarly known in England
as gallipot, and mold the paste on the
OF tside; remove the pot when the paste
is quite cold; place in your meat; cover
with paste; decorate the top and sides
if desired with cut figures or flowers, OF
both; glaze with the white of an egg
and bake in conformity with the size OF
the pie.
If merchant were to set up half a
dozen stoves in his store and attempt to
keep a little fire in each and all of them
while burning only fuel enough to keep
up two good fires everyone would un-
hesitatingly pronounce it remarkably
foolish. The farmer in attempting to
keep more cattle than he has hay and
grain to feed is doing the same thing.
The cow is really a machine for making
hay and meal into milk and flesh. just
as the stove receives the wood and inn
parts heat the COW receives food and re-
turns milk and beef. And as the stove
can throw out no heat without fuel so
the COW can return nothing without
food. If man had only two cords OF
wood there would be no propriety in
his obtaining three stoves and attempt
ing to keep fire in each of them all
winter with such an insignificant guam
tity of wood. The same principle APP
plies to keeping cattle. If man has
only hay enough to keep six animals
well it is extremely foolish for him to
try to keep eight.-NeV England Home
