"A Cheap Land Measure. If any
one wants a cheap and correct land
measure, let him take three lathes and
nail them together in the shape of let
ter A with the ends sharpened that rest
on the ground, the spread to be five and
one-half feet; three turns of this meas
ure will make one rod, and any one can
measure land as fast as he can walk
after he gets little used to handling it
-Flavoring Butter.-A plan for inn
proving the aroma of butter in use in
many parts of Switzerland noted for
good milk and fine butter, is as follows:
The milk as soon as it is drawn, and
while yet warm, is filtered through a
sprig of washed fir tips, the stem of
which is inserted loosely and upright in
the hole of the funnel. The milk de-
posits hairs, skins, clots or gelatinous
sliminess on the leaves; it has impaired
TO it a most agreeable odor, and does
not readily turn sour. A fresh sprig
should be used each time.
English Mixed Pickles. .--One-half
peck of small, green tomatoes; three
dozen small cucumbers; two heads of
cauliflower; one-half peck of tender
string beans; six punches of celery; six
green peppers, and quart of small,
white onions. Chop the vegetables
quite fine, sprinkle with salt, and let
stand over night; to six or seven quarts
of vinegar add one ounce each of
ground cloves, allspice and pepper, two
ounces of turmeric and four ounces of
mustard seed; let the vinegar and spices
come to a boil, put in the vegetables
and scald until tender and little yell
low.
Watermelon Cake.-For the white
part take two cups of white sugar, two
thirds of cup of butter, the same of
sweet milk, the whites of five eggs, two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted
/ Al, IS a a.,
ing you prefer. For the red part or
core of the melon take one cup of red
sugar sand, half cup of butter, two
thirds of a cup of sweet milk, two cups
of flour, one teaspoon of baking pow
der, the whites of five eggs, and half a
pound of raisons for seeds. In filling
the cake pan remember you are making
melon cake and put the white part out
side and the red part inside, dropping
in the seeds here and there where they
belong.
Glover Pasture. Glover pasture
when young and growing rapidly is
generally considered too full OF water,
compelling animals to eat too much
ment, expanding their stomachs and
| crOWulng upon Lhe space alIoCleu 10 the
lungs and other viscera. Clover is un-
doubtedly less valuable for young past
ure than for any other purpose to which
it is usually devoted, but if allowed
to blossom and then cut, wilted and fed
in the stable there is scarcely another
forage crop that will yield so much
food per acre for stock, and farmers
are fast finding it out. One acre OF
clover cut and fed in this way will keep
a given number of animals as long and
well as two acres pastured, and stock
will not be obliged to expend nearly as
much of the force acquired in lighting
| flies.
