who is in possession of healthy fruit trees
should see that they are the variety which he
desires to have. Cuttings or scions of stone
fruits should be secured early,while the buds
arc yet dormant, but apple and pear can be
cut and placed in other trees any time be-
fore the leaf opens. The scions should be
kept in damp sand or sGwdustto prevent dry,
ing mp; they will thus if cut early, keep good
several months. In grating, limbs should
be cut from thrce-fouWhs to one and 0ne-hali
INCHES in thickness. Cut off where a clear
split can be made. The scions (of last years
growth should he cut in lengths OF two OF
three buds, one bud being AT or near the top

Baking is more economical mode of cook
ing than roasting, especlallyin small families
where economical stoves and ranges with
side ovens are used. In baking there is less
loss of weight than in roasting, as the join,
is less dried. Care should be taken that the
floor of the oven is not too much heated or the
fat may be burnt, which causes a bad flavor.
A great advantage in baking Is that requires
less attention than roasting, and that potatoes
or a batter or Yorkshire pudding can be cook
ed under the meat. This latter may be made
by taking four tablespoonfuls of flour and
rubbing them into smooth batter with a
pint of milk which has previously had well
beaten egg mixed with it. If eggs are album
dant, two or three may be employed with adj
vantage, the quantity Of flour being lesscned.
The milk and egg must be added gradually,
the batter being rubbed until uniformly
smooth after each Acknowledgements

A writer IN the English .Necho@ic says: an
the year 1912, preserved eggs so perfectly
that, after lapse Of six months, they were
mistaken when brought to the table for fresh
LAID eggs, and believe they would have kept
equally good for twelve months. My mode
of preservation was TO varnish the eggs as
soon after they were laid as possible with
thin copal varnish, taking care that the
whole of the shell was covered with the var
nish. Subsequently found that by painting
the eggs with lies& alOumen, beaten up with
a little salt, they were preserved equally well,
and for rs Tonga period. After vanishing
ar painting with al5umen, lay the eggs up.
VA rough blotting paper, as found that, when
allowed to rest till dry upon plate or Gn the
table, the albumen stuck so fast to the table or
plate as to take away chip out OF the shell.
This Is entirely obvlated by the use Of the
blotung paper. pack the eggs in boxes Of
