-Clergymen's Sore Throat, Catarrh,
etc.-These affections are not to be re-
lieved by local applications only. Get
the stomach and liver right and the
troubles are apt TO cease. Indigestion is
the common cause of the sore throat of
public speakers.-Rurat NeD Yorker.

ing preparation Is recommended as being

-E1change.
Fried Carrots.-Pate atld wash the
carrots and divide them into halves, bel.
them tender in sailed water; when done,
drain them. Have ready well-beaten
egg and q plate of very fine cracker
crumbs. Roll the carrots in the egg,
then in the cracker crttmbs and fry In half
butter and half lard, id order to give them
a rich brown. Serve Immediately.
Rye and Indian Leaf.-One quart of
corn meal; one pint of fresh rye flour;
two eggs; one cup sugar; one teaspoon
salt; one teaspoon soda; two tea
spoons cream tartar; one quart sweet
milk, or sufficient to make batter
soft as Johnny cake. Put it into a
basin or small iron kettle (Which is better)
and steam from two to three hours; then
put it in slow oven and brown nicely.
Economy Cakc-Two cups If dried
apples chopped fine: soak over night; in
the morning, simmer down as dry as pos
siblc; when cold, add two and one half
cups of molasses; one cup of sugar; one
teaspoOnful of cloves; two teaspOonfuls
of cinnamon; one teaspoOnful of nutmeg ;
two teaspO0nfuls of salcratus; two eggs
two-thirds of q cup of shortening, and
flour enough to make a little sitter than
for ordinary cake.
Superior Sponge Cake.-Onc pound
of sugar; half pound of sifted flour !;
grated rind and juice of one lemon; ten
eggs, or whites of twelve and yelks of
eight. Beat the yelks as light as possible !;
add the sugar and lemon, and beat very
hard; then add onc-third of the whites
beaten until they stand alone, and give all
q good beating; add one third Of the flour,
then one third of the whites alternately,
until all are used. When the flour is put
in, stir in the gentlcst manner, as beating
them makes the cake heavy. Better have
some one beat the whites while you beat
the yelks, in order to get it in the oven 40
soon as possible. If baked in one loaf,
bake one hour.
Prof. Tannu, in cnumerating the
points indicating good milking charac-
ter in mich cows, says the most promi-
nent of these are the vessels which COOP
crate in the production of milk. "These, !"
he says, "consist of the vessels which
bring the blood, the glands which separate
the milk anC. the veins which carry away
the blood when thus acted on. Of the
former may be named those veins which
show themselves between the bearing
(uulpa) and the udder. These are often
buried SO that they cannot be seen, and,
although on pressure Immediately above
the udder they frequently appear, yet we
must not Immediately condemn the ami
NAL as a bad mixer, when they cannot be
observed. Generally, if the skin is mel
low and not much fat present, these veins
STOW themselves readily. Their presence
is very desirable, and, combined with a
full development upon the surface of the
udder, they indicate free supply of
blood to the milk glands. 1t is also con.
sidercd u good point when these veins
present knotty appearance"
