We at the North, after our five

mence gardening, that we are apt to

amount of warmth is necessary to cause
seed to terminate, and without this it
will rot in the damp earth. A few
hardy things, such asearly peas, spinach
and onions, cannot be in the ground too
soon. Our beans, corn, cucumbers and
seeds of like character are lost if in too

Corn Bread. one quart of mush,
that has cooled little, add near pint
of cold water, and stir in meal and a
large handful of middlings until stiff
batter. In cold weather, let stand in a
warm place until water rises to the top
and is sweet If it gets sour, add some
soda and spoonful of molasses or su-
gar. If you fail of good bread the first
time, try again, for it is premium bread,
and excellent cold or warm. 1t must
cool some before cutting, or it will not
come out of the pan.

qualities of this inexpensive soap more
generally known, no family would go

clothes, making them very clean and
white, without in the least injuring
them, and is excellent for tlannels and
petticoats. is good also for the hands,
making them soft and smooth. Take
six pounds each of sal-soda and lard,
three pounds of stone lime, four gal
Ions of soft water. Dissolve the lime
and soda in the water, stirring, settling
and pouring off, then return to the ket-
tie, using brass or copper; add the lard
and boil until it becomes soap, then
pour into tub. When cold cut in bars
