pepper to campho. rs preventative TO
furs, consists in the fact that. while lar

which destroys them In embryo.
Mr. PLAN WITH ToMAToEs.-Now
am not prepared to say my plau is the
very best, but do say Il has worked
for me so much TO my perfect and en-.
tire satisfaction, that have adopted it
for many years as much the best plan
ever tried or heard of. My plan is this
A frame work or trellis. rough but neat.
ly constructed, three feet high, with an
inclination out OF the perpendicular OF
say two or three inches to tho post, or
at an angle say of 22io. Mine are NOW
twenty feet long. Use durable stakes
six feet apart, pointed at one end. Set
first the end stakes or posts. stretch q
line from one to the other, twice or in
two places. one about one foot from the
ground and the other two and half
feetr Make each hole with crowbar,
If necessary, then with q heavy maui
drive each post ut as near the same in>
clination as possible, which may be de.
termiBed by the post touching the line.
measure each end post an equal distance
from the ground-three feet. Stretch
chalk line and saw OF post to an equal
height; put strip or top for a cap and
about three other strips. and your frame
is done. and good for any number Of
years that the material will last. Dig,
in the Fall, quantities Of fine manure
some say one quart Of salt to every fifty
feet Of frame. Set the plants three feet
apart. In this way have raised album.
dant crops of as fine fruit as ever saw.
1t is easily picked, easily cultivated,
and always ready in Spring for early
setting. In short, it surpasses all other
plans ever tried. aud they are legion.
-Rural World.
BoILs.-These are generally connec.
ted with some arrangement of the liver
and stomach. and probably an unhealthy
condition Of the blood. Boils may be
frequently checked in their commence.
ment by applying freely the spirits OF
turpentine or tincture Of arnica. The
application Of an ice poultice will often
retard it's further advance. When per.
cons are subject to boi,s they may break
up the tendency 10 them by the follow.
ing remedy Ground centaury, ! ounce
burdock seed. l ounce; water, 1 pint;
mix and steep three or four hours. Take
a tablespoonful three times day.
To RENovATE BLACK DREssEs.-Buv
ten cents worth of soap Darkroom the
soap tree, Sapindus soponaria-of any
druggist; steep a while in quart or
water; strain into basin and it is rea.
dy for use. II is best to take the dress
apart, brushing every particle of dust
from IL. With a sponge dipped into tho
decoction wipe Off each piece thorough.
ly, folding it up as you proceed. Then
with well-heated irons smooth and press
all upon the wrong side until dry. The
result OF this simple process is quite
wonderful. 1t is applicable TO all black
goods.
LIQUID YEAsT.-Peel and boil four
large potatoes in two quarts OF cold va.
ter; boil until we'll done, remove them
from tue water and mash very fine mash
in four tablespooufuls Of -four, two Of
white sugar and one Of salt; gradually
wet with the boiling hot water in which
tue pot atoes we're boiled, until all the
water is used up; when lukewarm add
one gill Of good yeast set aside TO fer
ment in q large bowl or jar; when IL
ceases TO work, bottle and keep in a cool
place. This receipt makes worry nice
white yeast always save enough lone
glib TO make new lot.
BEEP SoUP.-For n common soup 40.
cure a beef soup bone or shank and add
TO IL the bones Of your waste beef left
over. Boil four hours-all meats for
soup 10 be put in cold water. We take
two potatoes, one carrot, one tarnip.
two onions, piece OF cabbage, chop fine
and add these about one hour before
dishing up We add half teacupfal OF
rice. with pepper and salt, about the same
time. Boil constantly. keeping tightly
covered. Our French neighbors add
flavoring spices and herbs, but we like
a plain vegetable soup, and never fail OF
having a spicy one, Don't use too
much meat.
RHUBARB PIE.-Peel one bunch Of
rhubarb stalks and cut them in small Die
! ces; put them In sauce pan With just
sufficient water 10 keep from burning:
boil until soft mash fine with a spoon
and add one pound Of sugar, half cup OF
