AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.
y Mr.. Horne, in the Country Gentle
man, says "there is not at present any
known cure for smut poisoning"
Better make arrangements to feed
everything raised on the farm. Sell
nothing except in a condensed condi-
ten. d =
Any COW which will not, with
good care and treatment, produce
1000 lbs. of milk per year should be
sent to the butcher. --Iotra Register.
Victoria Pudding. - Take of
grated bread, mashed potatoes, grated
carrots, finely chopped suet, currants
and sugar, each half pound, four we'll
beaten eggs, a little salt, nutmeg and
lemon peel, and very little cinnamon.
Mix all well. Steam in mold five
hours. Serve with sweet sauce.
Ham or Tongue Toast. Gut a
slice of bread rather thick, toast and
butter well on both Sides Take "a
small quantity of ham or tongue and
CRATE it finely; have ready. chopped
finely, two hard-boiled eggs; put both
meat and eggs into stew-pan with a
little butter and cayenne, make it
quite hot, and spread quickly on the
buttered toast and serve. This is good
for lunch or breakfast.
Westphalia Loaves. - Mix four
ounces of grated ham with one pound
of mealy potatoes, we'll beaten. till
quite light, with two spoonfuls of
butter, little cream and two eggs !:
be careful not to make it too soft !:
form into small loaves or balls and fry
in butter, a light brown. Serve with
a thick brown, highly gravy,
or without, piled on napkin in pyra-
mid form, and garnished with parsly.
Fried Apples. This old-fashioned
dish may be improved by frying in
this way: Lay some small bits of salt
pork on the griddle; remove when the
griddle is very hot, and lay pieces of
apple as large as you can cut, skin up
permost, on the griddle. They must
be laid singly, like griddle cakes.
Cook, not too fast; when well Drowned
turn them, sprinkle with salt and,
when soft through, arrange on plate.

Many valuable discoveries are the
result of accident rather than trained
thought. Not long ago, a farmer in
the north Of France, having been
driven by the scarcity of fodder to use
whatever he had to feed his cattle,
proved that hop leaves were valuable
food for cows, when mixed with other
substances, and that his cows thus
provisioned, always gave more milk,
while the animals throve better than
usual. For this purpose the leaves
must FUSED freshly plucked. -
Let any one who has the care of
horse these cold, frosty mornings,
deliberately grasp in his hand piece
of iro2; indeed, let him touch it to
the tip of his tongue, and then let
him thrust the bit into the mouth of
his horse, if he has the heart to do it.
The horse is an animal Of nervous
organization. His mouth is formed
of delicate glands and tissues. The
temperature of the blood is the same
dS Vic uulildil DclIiR, tilu, dS III Iiail,
the mouth is the warmest part Of the
body. Imagine, we repeat, the irri
tation that would be caused the hui
man, and consider that, if not to the
same degree, still the suffering to the
animal is very great; and it is not a
momentary pain. Food is eaten with
great difficulty, and the irritation re-
peated every day causes loss of appe-
tite and loss of strength. Many a
horse has become worthless from no
other cause than this. Before India
rubber bis were to be had, | myself
used bit covered with leather. and
on no account would have dispensed
with it in freezing weather. Boston
