FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Steam machinery is becoming quite
common on large Western farms. Who
would work 100000 acres by handp
The cash value of the farms in this
country is 80, 262, ,803, 861. Does not
this represent total worthy of atten-
tion of statesmen and political econo-
mistsp
Hard Sauce for Puddings.- Stir to
cream one cup butter with three cups
powdered sugar; when light, beat in
juice of lemon, two teaspoons nut
meg.
SPop-Overs. pint milk, one
pint flour, butter size of walnut, three
eggs beaten light, pinch of salt; add
eggs last Bake in cups, filling them
half full.
To Prevent Stoves From Rusting.-
Kerosene applied with n rag to stoves
will keep them from rusting during the
summer; also good for iron utensils on
the farm.
-Buttermilk Pie.-One cup sugar,
two cups buttermilk, two eggs, two
tablespoonfuls flour, two tablespoon
fuls butter; flavor with lemon. This
makes two pies.
Liberal manuring and clean cul-
ture furnish the key to successful agri-
culture. Perhaps it would be well to
throw in a little brains and labor to
make the thing sure.
Honey Ginger Cake.-One pint
honey, cup and half butter, table
spoonful ginger, half cup sour milk or
cream, one egg, flour enough to make
stiff batter, one heaping teaspoonful
soda.
-Resuscitating TO bring chilled or
wet chick or young turkey to renewed
life, hold it over a smudge or smoke
from a wood fire. This remedy will
resuscitate a chick when so far gone as
to appear lifcless.
-Butternut Pie.--One egg, half pint
sweet milk, two heaping tablespoonfuls
sugar, one cup of meats of butternuts,
or sweet almonds, pulverized fine; add
to them one teaspoonful of cornstarch,
nutmeg to taste. Bake with one crust.
Breakfast Rolls without Soda
Two eggs, one and half cupfuls of
milk, teaspoonful of salt, and flour
enough to make thick stiff batter.
These must be baked in an iron gem
pan, or they will be complete fail
ure. Aquick oven is desirable.
Lemon Jelly.-Grate the rind and
take the juice of one lemon, pare and
CRATE six sour apples, one cup of sugar,
one egg, one teaspoonful of flour; beat
all thoroughly together and let it come
TO boil. This is very nice to use be-
tween cakes in place of other jelly.
loo TraoY,, npo mint of
cream, one pint of new milk, one pound
of sugar, two well-beaten eggs, five ta-
blespoonfuls grated chocolate, rubbed
smooth in little milk. Flavor to taste.
Heat the milk almost TO boiling, pour
it by degrees in with the beaten egg
and sugar, and freeze.
Sweet Corn Cake. - Take three
eggs, beat light, add one cup sour milk
or cream, one cup of flour, then one
cup and half of sugar and half cup
butter or lard; then corn meal to make
middling stiff batter, nutmeg, or any
kind of spice to suit taste, and one tea
spoonful soda, one cup of raisins added
is nice, and baking powder can be used
if preferred. This cake is nice for
lunch to eat with coffee or tea, or ber-
ries and cream.
Boiling Fresh Fish.-All fresh fish
or fresh meats must be put into boiling
water; salt fish or salt meats into cold
water. Before putting in the fish throw
in about two tablespoonfuls of salt for
a large fish, little heaped, and wine
glass of vinegar. This secures the
best flavor of fish, and the vinegar does
not affect the taste at all. The water
must be boiling when the fish is laid in,
but after that it must only simmer.
Never boil fish. 1t is done when it be-
gins to crack or cleave apart from un.
der the gills, if a whole fish; if only 9
part of fish it will, when done, spring
off little from the back bone. Don't
let it cook a minute longer after that.
1t is said there are exceptions tC
all general rules, but to the rule OF
keeping out of debt, so far as the far
mer is concerned, there can be in oul
opinion no exception. The rule SHOULD
be rigid, positive, universal. Total alb
stinence is the only safe and true doc
trine in this, as in liquor drinking
Eat the coarsest and simplest food, ,dres!
in the plainest style, cut off every lux
ury, forego every selfish qualification
rather than allow yourself to be en-
numbered with debt. Every farm prod
uct is pretty sure to rule low for som'
time to come, and strict economy is the
only safe road to independence. Will
habits of industry, temperance, econo
my and stern resolve not to run il
debt, the farmer is just as certain t.
