FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Hens Will sit on eggs for days and
not mtrmur, but let man sit on a
dozen but for minute, and he will use
fowl languagB enough to fill barn.
Collect as many dry leaves as pos
sible. As they cost nothing they can
be used generously for bedding for
stock, and will thus add greatly to the
compost heap.
Baked Beets. These excellent
vegetables are quite as good baked as
boiled, and the sugar is better de-
veloped by the baking process. The
oven should not be too hot, and the
beets must be frequently turned. Do
MT peel them until they are cooked,
then serve with butter, pepper and salt.
Eggs Newport Style. Take one
pint of bread crumbs and soak in one
pint of milk. Beat eight eggs very light
aul stir with the soaked crumbs, beat
in, five minutes. Have ready a sauce
pan in which are two tablespoonfuls of
butter, thoroughly hot, but not scorch-
ins; pour in the mixture, season with
pepper and salt, as the mass is opened
ard stirred with the scrambling"
which should be done quickly with the
pdnt of n knife, for three minutes, or
uitil thoroughly hot. Serve on q hot
phtter with buttered toast.
To Keep Geraniums Over Winter.
-Geraniums, fuchsias, salvais and 9TH
erplants that you may wish to keep
over winter without any care of them,
msy be taken up with ball of earth
attached to them and placed in one
corner of the cellar, provided it is
wsrm enough not to freeze potatoes;
pack them close and bank the earth
closely about the roots. In January or
February you can bring the fuchsias to
the window, and they will form beauti-
full Towering plants in about six weeks
time.

toes in boiling water and salt; soak one
pound of stale bread in cold water, and

cold water; when the potatoes are
done, peel them, mash them through a
colander, and season them with salt

Manure for Wheat Lands.-Ma-
nure, "Waldo," of the Ohio Practical
| Farmer, says, seems to be a specific, a
soveI eigh remedy for most if not all the
| ills that wheat is heir to. His early
sown wheat last fall was as badly in
tested with the fly as he ever saw, but
where it was manured heavy crop
grew in spite of it. A few years ago
the chinch bug made its appearance,
| duu HluCn OI Inc W0edG was Dduly udLl-
aged, but where it was manured it es-
capped. In the years when wheat has
rusted badly it has always been the
weak, late wheat on poor land that has
suffered the most.
Sheep With Cattle.-The Kansas
Farmer says: " Horses and sheep ap-
pear to pasture in the same field to-
gether better than cattle and sheep, the
horses seeming to treat their small COM
! panions with much kindness. If a
prowling dog makes his appearanceon,
the ground the sheep run for the horses
and horses having no friendship for
strange ours, gofor the dog in hot haste,
especially if there are any young horses
among them, and the dog scampers for
the nearest fence, glad to put it between
him and his pursuers' feet We have
known sheep to pasture in the same
field for several weeks along with horses,
and remain unmolested by dogs, and be
attacked in night or two after the
/ horses were removed -
