USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

EVERY family should cultivate small
fruits. A convenient plot should be set
apart for their growth.
IT is said that a filthy man, with
filthy hands, milking filthy cow, in q
filthy coral, into filthy pail, and set
ting the milk in one corner of a hot,
filthy kitchen, is the perfection of filth
in butter-making, and that the product
will be anything but "gilt-edged."-
Prairie Farmer.
LET no farmer b deceived. One
year ago, wise political and agricultural
editors said {" Prices have reached the
lowest point. We are down to bed
rock" And yet the products of the
farm are 80 per cent. below what they
were when these statements were made.
We say to the farmers, lay your plans,
and manage your farms fof yet lower
depths. Contract fewer debts, arrange
for more profitable labor, and be pre-
pared for the worst. We know this is
safe advice.-Iosoa State Register.
IT is stated, on good authority, that a
teaspOOnful of cayenne-pepper mixed
in quart of oil, and rubbing the har-
ness with the oil, will effectually pro-
tect it against the gnawing of rats. 1t
Is also said that an ounce of aloes to
one gallon of oil will afford the same
protection. Our remedy heretofore has
been, and we have never known it to
fail, to hang the harness up so that no
rats can modest it. But as some people
are careless in this respect, the red pep
per and the aloes and oil remedy had
better be adopted. A friend at our ell
bow says carbonic acid is a sure reme-
dy.-Ge,rna'stoUs Telegraph.
ROLLED PANCAKEs.-Beat six eggs,
separately; stir the yelks into one quart
of warm milk, with a tablespoonful of
melted butter and tablespoonful of
salt; add sufficient flour to make thin
batter; then sprinkle in one teaspoon
full of yeast-powder, and stir in the
whites of the eggs; put frying-pan on
the fire; when it is hot, grease with a
spoonful of lard; pour in cupful of
batter. fry light brown and turn care
fully, so as not to break the cake; when
brown on both sides, lift out and spread
with strawberry jam, or any kind of
jam or marmalade you have; roll up
nicely and lay them on plate; spr.n-
kle with pulverized sugar; send to the
table hot, and serve with or without
cream.
SALsIFY.-Many are very decided in
their praise of this vegetable, and we
are among them. 1t is not cultivated
enough, and generally where it is cul-
tivated, too little care is given to the
manner of cooking it. 1t needs about
the same management as parsnips or
carrots. Sow the seed an inch deep in
drills foot apart and thin out the
plants to six inches apart when two or
three inches high. They may be eaten
in the fall or left in the ground until
spring or taken out as needed. Re-
speeding cooking-scrape them and
throw at once in water to which lit
tie vinegar has been added. Then boil
in fresh water until it has evaporated
add butter, pepper and salt; mash,
form into patties and roll into cracker
crumbs and fry the same as an oyster
We think those of our readers who will
"try this style of cooking satisfy or the
vegetable OYSTER" as it has been well
named, will ever after find little place
in the garden for its cultivation.-Rural
