eggs are placed in a colander and suf-

to cook the thin outside skin they may

boiling water excludes the air. Set
them away in a cool place.
The London Farmers Chronicle
thinks that We require to protect the
feet of our horses something after the
manner we protect our own, and one
would suppose that the matter of fitting
a boot to the foot and leg of the cart
horse ought not to be attended with
any insuperable difficulty.
MACHINERY on the farm means q
good deal, remarks the Scientific Farm
er. 1t means that the farmer has in
vested much capital in q way that is
saving him much hard work. 1t means
short days for you and the hired man.
1t means going to bed later and getting
up later. 1t means less WEAKNESS and
more opportunity for mind-culture.
Thus progress in agriculture not only
means more and cheaper food and
clothing, but it means greater oppor-
tunity for development of manhood.
Let us welcome it, then, for the stom-
ach's sake, the body's sake and the
A VETERAN farmer told, a few days
ago, of a method of relieving chok-
ing cow which was new to me, but
which he said was unfailing. 1t is
worthy of trial, at any rate. A round
| stick, two or three inches long, is put
into the cows mouth, like bit into q
horses mouth. A string is then fast
ened to each end of the stick and tied
to the horns or up over the head. This
forces her to keep her mouth open, and
allows the gas which forms in the stom-
ach, and is the cause of the severe pain
and rapid swelling which accompanies
choking in a COW, to escape. The effort
also of trying to rid the mouth of its
unusual incumbrance is the best help
toward freeing the passage of the throat.
If the trouble is not removed in this
way, the cow may be kept alive until
help is obtained for trying other meas
ures for her relief. In such cases time
is of great Importance. He says he
has seen his plan tried in many cases,
and in none had it failed of complete
cure in less than half an hour..-C0r.

BEEF BROTH AND NORFOLK DUMP
LINGs.-Put two pounds of lean beef
from the neck (cost twelve cents) in
two and half quarts of cold water tt,
boil; skim it soon as it boils, and add a
level teaspoonful of salt, half q tea
spoonful of pepper, quarter of nut
meg grated, few sweet herbs, and
half dozen cloves (cost of seasoning,
two cents); boil gently for one hour.
AT the end of a quarter of an hour
make as follows some Norfolk Dump
lings: Mix by sitting together one
pound of flour, one teaspoonful of salt,
and two of baking powder (cost three
cents), make into a soft dough with
one egg, half pint of milk, and very
little water (cost four cents) and drop
them by the tablespoonful in the soup;
be careful that the pot does not stop
boiling, or the dumplings will be heavy.
At the end of three-quarters of hour
stir together over the fire in large
saucepan one ounce each of butter and
flour (cost two cents), and when they
are nicely Drowned, gradually add and
mix with an egg-whip or large fork,
pint of the boiling soup. Take up the
meat and dumplings on the same dish,
strain the soup into the sauce you have
just made, and mix it thoroughly; put
q little of it over the meat and dump
lings, and serve the rest in a soup tu-
reen; it is very nice with small slices of
toast in it. Both dishes make an ex-
cellent dinner at a cost of about twenty
five cents, including Bread N. Y.
Times.
