large apples; add two lemons, grated

There is no manure more fertiliz-
ing in its nature than that of the sheep,
and it does not so readily waste by ex-
posure as that of other animals. A
German agrieulturist has calculated
that the droppings from 1000 sheep
during a single night would manure an
acre of land sufii jiently.
Saving the Grape. e.-Air-slaked lime
used after pruning and after laying
down in the fall, the process being re-
peated in the spring SO far as the appli-
cation of lime is concerned, will drive
away the worms. 1t is to be applied in
the morning when the dew is on. One
authority says that plaster or road dust
will do as well.
Rice Cream Soup.--Pick and wash
in tepid water a couple of ounces of
rice. Put it to cook in pint of white
stock; when thoroughly done, add an
other pint of stock or more, with a
handful of young peas boiled in it. Stir
into the soup, off the fire, half gill of
cream, with yelk of egg strained and
beaten up with it. Add white pepper
and salt to taste if required.
Sweet Omelet. Beat up the whites
of four and the yelks of six eggs, with
a very small pinch of salt. Pat piece
of fresh butter in the omelet pan and
directly it is melted pour in the eggs.
AS soon as they are set fold up the
omelet, inserting within the fold as
much apricot or other jam as will lie in
it. Turn out the omelet neatly on its
dish, cover it with powdered sugar and
glaze it with red-hot salamander.
Many hogs die every year of dis
ease resulting from want of pure water,
and yet this loss is submitted to year
after year. The remedy is simple
one, and compared with the loss of hogs
and cattle an inexpensive one, viz. dig
well. Want of water is productive of
much suffering, which results in dis
ease and death. See that every animal
is well supplied with pure water in
abundance. Ponds, sloughs and foul
spring holes are not fit to supply stock
water, and wells or cisterns only should
be used.
Although the horse is one of the
most powerful, ambitious and sensible
of all our domestic animals; yet, in a
certain sense, it is far from being very
hardy one. In this respect the horse is
not equal to the rough-and-tumb
usage which the mule or even the OK
can bear without exhibiting marked
signs of the severe discipline to which
it has been subjected. The horse is
very delicate animal, and if pounced
upon in a passion while encumbered
with the harness, and possibly with
load too heavy for easy movement, the
chances are that efforts to escape pun
ishmeut will result in such an over-ten-
sion of the muscles as to produce per-
manent lameness. Rough, cruel men
are not fit to take care of an animal
having the spirit, tenderness and sus-
ceptibility pertaining to the horse.
Were such men less frequently trusted
with the management of stable stock,
there would be fewer limping and COM
paratively worthless horses on our pub
lie thoroughfares. The greatest care,
it is true, cannot prevent accidents to
horses, but with proper attention the
halting. ones would constitute the ex-
ception, and not the rule, as is now too
often the case.
