FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Common Mats. The incest m at for
common use is made of No. 4 six-thread
crochet cotton.
"A Savory Dish.-Put two picked
herrings into stone jar, fill it up with
potatoes and little water, and let 1t
bake in an oven till the potatoes are
done enough.
Honey Cake. One cup Of nice SUI
gar, one cup of rich, sour cream, one
egg, halt a teaspoonful of soda, two
cups of flour. Flavor to the taste Bake
halt an hour. To be eaten while warm
Rye Drop Cakes.-Ono pint of
milk, three eggs, one tablespoonful of
sugar and little salt. Stir in rye flour
till about the consistency of pan cakes.
Bake in buttered cups, or saucers, half
an hour.
--Everton Tafry.-Ten ounces of
molasses, one pound of sugar, six
ounces of fresh butter, and little lem
on-peel. The butter is to be dissolved
first, then the whole to be boiled very
quickly.
Vegetable Soup. Take one turnip,
one potato and one onion; let them be
sliced, and boiled in one quart of water
for an hour; add as much salt and pars-
ley as is agreeable, and pour the whole
on n slice of toasted bread.
To Cleanse Gilt Frames
sufficient flour of sulphur to give a gold
en- tinge to Cne and one-half pints of
water; boil in this water four or five
onions, strain and when cold wash with
soft brush any part that requires restor-
ing; when dry it will come out as good
as new.
Skim Milk for Horses.-A CORE.
spondent of an exchange paper states
/ that lie fed his horses skinned milk
and that he has known cases where it
was of great benefit and was an econ
omy He says that pail of it three
times a day will keep work horse in
better condition than will four quarts
of oats. OF course this sort of ra-
ton would render less water neces-
sary. Three pals of ten quarts each
would give twenty-four quarts of water,
as milk has of solid matter twenty per
cent. only (orfe-ffth,) and eighty per
cent (four-tifths) of water. So thirty
quarts of milk would give the twenty
four quarts of water.
Offensive Breath. From six to ten
drops of the concentrated solution of
chloride of soda, in q wine glass full of
pure spring water, taken Immediately
after the ablutions of the morning are
completed, will sweeten the breath, by
disinfecting the stomach, which far
from being injured will be benefited by
the medicine. If necessary, this may
be repeated in the middle of the day. In
some cases the odor arising from carious
teeth is combined with that of the
stomach. If the mouth is we'll rinsed
with a teaspoonful of the solution of
the chloride in a tumbler of water, the
bad odOr of the teeth will be removed
To Stew Partridges.- Truss them
with the wings over the back, and the
legs drawn in; cut piece of pork or
bacon in long strips, and put them into
stew-pan with piece of butter the
size of a walnut. Fry the bacon brown,
and when quite done put in the par
tridges, and keep turning them until
they are very brown, taking care that
the bacon shall be as much on the
breast as possible; then add about a
teacup of gravy, and some trimmings
of meat and vegetables. Have ready
large cabbage boiled; when well
drained, slice it with butter, pepper and
salt, put it while warm with the gravy
to the partridges, and let them stew
gently for an hour, turning the birds
frequently. Serve up with the bacon
underneath, and the cabbage around
them, squeezed dry, and the sauce well
skinned.
A Good Cement.-A good cement
for mending almost anything may be
made by mixing to ether litharge and
glycerine to the consistency of thick
cream or fresh putty. This cement is
useful for mending stone jars or any
coarse earthenware, stopping leaks in
seams of tin pans or wash-boilers,
cracks and holes in iron teakettles, etc.
Holes an inch in diameter in kettles
can be filled and used the same in boil
ing water and food. 1t may also be
used to fasten on lamp tops, to tighten
loose nuts, to secure loose bolts whose
nuts are lost, to tighten loose joints of
wood or iron, loose boxes in wagon
hubs, and in great many other ways.
In all cases the articles mended should
not be used until the cement is hard
ened, which will require from one day
to week, according to the quantity
used. This cement will resist the ac-
tion of water, hot or cold, acids and al
most any degree of heat.
