Orange Pie.-Grate the peel Of one
fresh Messina orange. Take the juice
and pulp of two oranges, add one cup of
sugar and the beaten yelks of three eggs.
Mix one cup of milk with the whites
beaten to stiff froth; then mix all and
bake in puff paste.
Oyster Pancakes. Mix equal parts
of oyster liquor and milk. To one pint
of the mixture add one pint of flour, in
which is stirred one teaspoonful Of yeast
powder, two eggs, little salt, and the
oysters. Take up two oysters in little
batter, and drop by spoonful into hot
lard, and fry; serve very hot.
Little Currant Dumplings.--A pint
of flour, a quarter of pound of fresh
beef suet, chopped fine, salt-spoon of
salt, quarter of pound of picked and
cleaned Zante currants, one egg, and
milk enough to mix it to the consistency
of drop biscuits. Boil in well.houred
dumpling- three.quarters of an
hour. Allow tablespoonful to each
dumpling. Serve with sauce.
English Mufiins.-To one quart of
luke-warm milk add the whites of three
eggs, well beaten, two spoonfuls of good
yeast, no salt, and as much -four as will
make thick batter Rise by the fire at
least an hour, then bake in muffin.rings,
on a griddle or in cups, in quick oven.
II is common mistake to make mullins
too thick. If the batter is too stiff, often
they fail to be light and tender.
"A good article to use in the water
given your molting fowls to drink is the
tincture of iron. 1t is very handy and
cheap, and should be accessible con-
stantly during the critical time when old
fowls are changing their plumage. 1t is
strengthening, palatable, and works like
charm in its way as a stomach tonic.
A tablespoonful of the tincture to q
quart of water is sufficient. To be had
at any drug store. Poultry Nation.
White Beans.-Soak one pint of
dried beans over night; parboil in plenty
of water, with small piece of soda in
it; drain perfectly dry and place in a
baking dish; rub one and one-half table
spoOnfuls of butter into four even ia
blespoonfuls of flour, until it is a
cream; beat in this two spoonfuls con-
densed egg, adding slowly gill of vine
gar and a sprinkle of salt; pour over
the beans, place plate, inverted, over
them and put in a rather cool oven one
half hour.
Oats and peas, sown together, pro.
duce very nutritious fodder. The two
crops together, upon one acre of good
soil, will yield nearly if not quite as
much fodder as would an acre of each
grown separately. We have sown two
bushels of oats and six pecks of peas to
ho
be cut for soiling cows or horses in May
or June, and succession for continu-
GUS use may be sown every two weeks
until early in May. Roll the ground
after sowing, so that the crop may be
cup with a mower, which may easily be
done, as the oats support the peas and
prevent MISUNDERSTANDING.
-Old-F Fashioned Short Cake. e.-Into one
quart of -four rub butter the size of an
egg. Add sufficient milk to make paste,
and roll out quite thin. Spread with
butter and sprinkle with flour-repeat
this process three times, at last rolling
out about half an inch thick. Score in
diamond-shape with knife, set in an
ice-box awhile to chill, then bake in a
quick oven. 1t will be found luscious
and very light and faky.
Cows soon learn what to expect,
and if, by any maneuvering on their
part, they can change the regular pro-
gramme to their advantage, they are not
slow to do so. We have COWS in our
stable which, if fed an inferior quality of
fodder at an unusual hour, will either
poke it through the front of their man.
ger or the barn floor, or paw it out under
their feet with all the deliberation with
which spoilt child clears its plate of
plain food to make room for the choicer
sweets which are held in reserve by the
over-indulgent paronti but if this same
| fodder is given at the last foddering al
night, when the COWS know, as they al,
ways do, that it is the last foddering,
they will take hold of it, if at all hungry,
as matter of business, and will clean it
up as though it were as good as the best.
