FRIED SWEET PorAToEs.-Peel the
sweet potatoes; slice them about a
quarter of an inch thick, or cut them
in shavings, round and round, as you
would peel a lemon; dry them well in
a clean cloth, and fry them in lard or
drippings; take care that your fat and
frying pan are quite clean; put it on
quick fire; watch it, and as soon as the
lard boils and is still, put in the slices
of potatoes and keep moving them till
they are crisp; take them up and lay
them TO drain on q sieve; send them up
with very little salt sprinkled over
them.

The green out husks of walnuts con-
tain a yellow brown and remarkably
fast dye, which is well suited for dye
ing woolen or cotton materials, staining
wood, etc. Wool thus dyed requires
no mordant, is very soft to handle. and
not like that dyed with vitriol. The
shades of color obtained are from bright
TO dark brown. The hnsks may be
simply kept dried till used, or packed
moist in tubs, by which means their
coloring power is further increased.

VEAL WITH PANDo. SAUcE.-Cut up
any part of cold boiled veal, leaving the
bones in the pieces. Peel and slice a

of a small carrot. Put them into a
saucepan with two ounces of bread, two
cloves, four allspice, and an inch of
thin lemon-peel, little white pepper,
a small teaspoonful Of salt, and the same
of sugar. Add about pint of the liquor
that the veal was boiled in. Boil slowly
for an hour Then rub the whole
through hair sieve. Put the veal into

To MAKE GRAPE BUTTER.-The grap,
are to be boiled until they will pass
through a colander. Then to three
gallons of the pulp add nine pounds of
sugar, boil and skim, and when 1t has
boiled an hour add one gallon of we'll
cooked apples. Boil down to the desired
consistency, and you have butter of
excellent flavor.

TkMPERANcE CRUsr.-Another light
and rich paste can be produced by fol-
lowing this receipt. Take one pound
of flour, one pound of butter, the yolk
of one egg; wash the butter dry and
then melt it in a vessel set in another
vessel of boiling water, stirring gently
all the while to prevent oiling. Take
off the salty scum from the top, and
when almost cold beat up the butter
little by little with the egg, which
should be previously whipped light.
When all is thoroughly mixed work in
the flour, roll it twice, sprinkling
lightly with -four before folding it up;
let it stand folded five minutes in cold
place, and cut out for tartlets or tarts !;
if a tartiet- cutter should be used, let il
be dry and Toured before using it, to
prevent the paste from sticking. Bake
before filling the tartlets, which are for
immediate use, and when done brush
over with a beaten egg while hot. The
paste which is left should be kept in a
cool place.

BELvIDERE CAKEs.-The size of a
breakfast plate. One quart of flour,
four eggs, piece of butter the size of
an egg, piece of lard the same size.
Mix the butter and lard well with the
flour; beat the eggs very light in a
pint bowl. Fill it up with cold milk !;
then pour it gradually into the flour,
which must be made into a tolerably
stiff dough. Add full teaspoonful Of
salt, and work briskly for eight or ten
minutes; If worked too long it will fall.
Cut off squares of the dough with a
knife the size that you wish your cakes
10 be, roll them out, and bake in quick
oven.

WASTE LAxps.-Lands which pro-
duce nothing and are not growing bet
ter are a tax upon farmers resources
against which there appears TO be no
counter balancing Item. Year after
year as he makes up his balance sheet
there Is this item for the cost of this
waste land and the interest upon IL.
The original sum remains the same but
the interest runs up with the addition
of one year more, as the twelve months
come around.
The Improvement OF these lands so as
TO render them a source of income, has
been receiving a good deal of attention
for the past five years, and tn ousands
of acres of marsh lands have been
drained and made partially available in
husbandry during the time. The effect
upon production is not probably notice
able vet, but the good effect upon the
health of the people is too apparent to
escape even the most careless observer.
There are yet large areas Of this low
land covered during the summer with
a rank, coarse grass, and for the most
part saturated with water TO the surface.
or nearly so. Nothing can be done
with these lands profitably until they
are drained and made capable of culti-
walton. Some of them will yeild crops
of corn, oats, hay and turnips; some
remain cold and unproductive, and do
not seem TO be adapted to ordinary pro-
cesses of tillage. What shall be done
with this class is question of some i'm
portance. We Think they may lie pro
titably planted with the osier willow.
While all low lands will produce the
basket willow, there are some which
appear TO be useful for nothing else.
The well drained low lands are better
adapted to willow culture than those not
drained or even partially drained.
While the peeled willow sells for four
TO ten cents a pound. there is little
question as to whether il is a profitable
crop to grow or not.
Lands that overflow in the winter
season or early spring are not injured
for willow culture, neither is the crop
hurt by an overflow for a short time as
late as June.
There are large Quantities of willow
stock imported from Europe into this
country annually, at cost surprising
rs well as unnecessary; for We have as
good facilities for growing the canes as
are found or the continent of Europe.

STORING TURNIPs-Select a sloping
or dry piece of ground, and gather
them into one long heap; cover them
with straw to keep out the dirt, and
pack the earth on them foot thick; do
not put any soil on the very top, but
cover that with board with holes in
II, or old fence-posts with the butts off.
The holes in the boards or posts will
give ventilation, ard should be covered
with board to keep out the wet.
Should the weather be very severe long
stable manure put on the north side of
the heap will keep the frost from going
in too deeply. Grade around the heap
nicely, so that no water will stand
there.

an dir COOler.-TO reduce the temp
erature in factory in Paris, recourse
was some time since had to an mex
pensive form of air cooler, described
as follows: A thin plate of metal, per-
fOrated with holes One-tenth of an inch
in diameter, and having a total area
equal to one-ninth of the surface of the
plate, was set at a slight angle in a
tight box: over this plate thin sheet
of water. at a temperature of fifty-fve
degrees Fah., was allowed to flow
steadily, and by means of a power
blower, air was forced into the box be-
low the plate; by its pressure, the air
forced its way through the holes in the
plate and through the water. and was
then led by pipes TO all parts of the
factory. By this device the air in the
room was reduced to fifty-seven de-
grees. Other experiments gave vary
ing results, according to the initial
temperature of the water, but I'D each
case the apparatus reduced the temp
erature of the current of air to within
seven degrees of that of the water.
Steam power is required for the blow
er, and, for the best results, the supply
of water must be abundant and its
temDature low

AT A DINNER party there were two
sisters present, one q widow who had
just emerged from her weeds, the other
not long married, whose husband had
lately gone out to India for a short
term. A young barrister present was
deputed to take the widow down to
dinner. Unfortunately he was under
the impression that his partner was the
married lady whose husband had Just
arrived in India. The conversation
between them began with the lady's
remarking how extremely hot it was.
Yes, 1t is very hot" returned the
young barrister. Then happy thought
suggested itself to him, and he added
with cheerful smile, ''But not so hot
as the place to which your husband
has gone" The look with which the
widow answered this "happy thought"
will haunt that young barrister till the
day of his death.

and how be is coming out At the end of

Michigan, who raises little of every

which he regarded AS very satisfactory.

BANKING BARNs.-While il is not a
good plan TO make the stable too warm
in winter. il is a most excellent ar
rangement to have the ventilation un-
der the control of the owner. l believe
i'm tight barns, and in banking up such
as are built upon corner blocks or
stones, so as to prevent free sweep of
the wind beneath the floor. Ii will be
found with an animal as with person,
that a current of air striking the body
from an open space in the floor, Will
chill quicker than if coming from the
side.
Do not have the points from which
the air is TO be admitted either in the
rear or close beside the animal, but such
q distance away that the current of air
will lose its preceptible force bI the
time IT, reaches il.
There are two cheap methods of in
closing the part of a barn beneath the
sills. that will prove sufficient protec-
ton to the animals in winter; one is TO
bank up, the other is to set studding
between the sills and bed pieces, which
may be laid down and then clap-board
up the sides. or board up plain and bat
ten the cracks. This last plan is, in my
opinion, better than banking, as it does
not create the liability to rot the silis
that the former possesses. unless good
deal of care Is exercised in banking.
Every farmer knows best his own abili-
ty to do, but as means of bOt.i ecOno-
my and humanity, 1 advise every one
who has not alTt ady made his stable
barn secure 10 do so before winter sets
in.-OhiO Farmer.
