stantly stirring them strain through a

of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of -four,
milk to fill pie-plate. If milk is not con-
venint, water with small lump of butter,
is good substitute. Line medium.sized
plate with nice pastry, pour in the custard !;
bake until done. Beat the two whites of
eggs to a stiff froth, sweeten with four ia
blespoonfuls of powdered sugar, spread
smoothly over the pie when baked, and
brown lightly in the oven.
FRYING RAW PorAroEs.-W supposed
we knew how to fry raw potatoes, but found
We were mistaken when lady friend, who
came to stop with us a few days, convinced
us that she had better way. And such
little differenc there was in the cooking
of them, toto make them so much nicer
The secret was in keeping them covered
closely as they were cooking. The potatoes
were washed pared and sliced thin, put to
fly,p spider previously heated and but
ing; sailed to taste, too, and to think that
just keeping them covered should make so
much difference and improvement-in the
way Of cooking them. They would come
to the table so crispy and crusted, with
scarcely slice broken owing to the care
Of handling, when being turned over.
GREASY SILK RIBBoN.-Rub magne.
sia or French chalk on greasy silk ribbon,
hold near Ere, and brush off grease.
STAINS IN LIGHT GooDs.-Chlroform is
very useful in removing great stains from
light silk and poplin. French chalk is lso
very good.
To CLEAN BLACK CAsHMERE-Wash
Ia hot suds with little borax in the water
rinse ia bueing water-very blue-and
iron while damp. 1t will look equal to
new.
To RESTORE CoLoRs, Erc.-Hartshorn

without injury. Turpent:ne removes
grease or paint from cloth-apply till paint
can be scraped off.
To CLEAN BLACK LAcE.--Squeezs soft-
ly and often in SKINNED milk when it
seems clean put it in clean SKINNED milk,
squeeze again, lay it on sheets of stiff pa
per, draw out scollops and edges with fn-
ger, cover with stiff paper and heavy

period ofthe year at which the farmer makes
his yearly contracts for labor, the follow
ing, practical suggestion from the Southern
Cultiuator are valuable and will prove of
special interest.
Since the panic of 1873, general
shrinkage of values has been going on
If under such circumstances all values
shrink proportionally, no one out of debt
suffers specially. Ifthe farmer for instance
gets now only half as much for his cotton
as he did in 1873, it would make no differ
ence to aim. provided he could buy what
he needed at half the price he had to pay
that year. Can he do this? With some
things he can, with others he cannot
The prices of what are usually termed the
"necessaries" of life, such as clothing,
(domesticO provisions, iron, &c, have prob.
ably decreased quite as much as that of
cotton. But the price of labor-that
which the farmer uses most of all to make
cotton-what about that? Ah, there's the
rub! Labor has not declined in value pro-
portionately to that which labor produces
nor to those things which the laborer
must buy, to wit: clothing and food
Aud this, it seems to us, is the great uD-
derlaying universal cause of business stag
nation every where. The merchant lacks
confidence in the farmer, because he sees
he has little or no money left after paying
the expenses of the crop. The capitalist
besitates to invest in industrial enterprises,
because he sees that expenses cat up all the
profits and a portion of the capital in
vested Those who have already invested,
as manufacturers, railroad managers, mi
ners, &c, have attempted to relieve them
selves by reducing wages, but success has
been very partial. Laborers have resisted
it, "strikes" have followed, and general
unsettling of business cnsued. Now tho
farmer can attempt reduction of wages on.
ly through tho contracts he makes ut the
beginning of the year-his crops once
planted, he is at the mercy of the laboror.
1t then becomes question of losing the
whole, or paying one-half or three -fourths
of its value, to secure the remainder.
The labor arrangement for the year, then,
is the paramount question of the day
Heretofore we have advised hiring for
money or standing wages-and still think
this the best arrangement when labor can
be hired at reasonable rates. But sunder
existing circumstances, when labor ie. high
compare with the products of labor, it is
better to pay in part of the crop, and thus
compel the laborcr to share with the land
lord the loss from low prices, bad seasons
&c. The chief point to be guarded is
that the landlord shall retain control in
the matter of rotating the crops-runnine

But hungry nigger don't gib up,

And goes right to Miss Sue.
And so, I axsd her for some milk,
And little piece of bread,
To cure de cronic rumatiz,

Chicken Cholera appears often to be
spread by other chickens eating the intes-
tinal contents of those which have been
killed for the table There would be nothing
violent in the assumption that disease might
be produced in a healthy fowl from feeling
upon the intestinal and excrementitious
matter of another fowl, itself in health
This probability develops into certainty if
the intestines are from the body of fowl
in which the disease existed in the undevel-
oped form Of the incubative period, which
may exist for several days before the bird
becomes sick. Any fowls bought from
strangers are Legitimate subjects ofsuspicion.
There is plain piece Of common sense
which may be put into practice here, and
that is, to require the cook to burn the in
testines of every fowl cleaned. Facts are
not wanting in our personal experience
which 80 to show that the excrementa of
an animal arc more or less dangerous to all
other animals, and especially so to other
animals of its own kind. Animal hygiene
is an important branch of agricultural
science, which has been little thought about
or written about, except in rather loose
way. In nothing have the practices of
modern civilization been less sensible aud
moro disgusting and dangerous than in our
modes of dealing with human and animal
excrementa and other impurities, from
which arise, all over tho earth, multifarious
forms Of sickness and death to man and
beast.-,Southern Planter and Farmer.
A CERTAIN CURE FOR CHILLs AND

than in the early settlement of that State
he had suffered much, as all early settlers
always do in the West, from this disease.
lie had used the ordinary remedies, largely
composed Of quioine, with tho usual results
curing, for the time being, to return
again in week or two.
Being among some of the Indians south
OF that State, he came across Frenchman
who called himself doctor. This man
advised him to get an ounce of camphor,
all in one piece, if possible, sew it up in
small cloth bag, hang it round his neck with
a tape, so it would come at the bottom Of
the sternum or breast bone, and securing IL
there with another tape round the body, to
keep it in place. This, he said, would all
evaporate in week or ten days, when he
must get another and use it in the same
way. Two ounces thus used, costing 20
cents, would cure, he declared, the worst
case of ague 80 it would never come back
The Kansas man declared that he had tried
this remedy in hundreds of cases, and had
never known it to fail. Since obtaining
this information have tried it many times,
with the same results So simple aud
harmless remedy ought to be in general
use.--Prairie Farmer.
