FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

The main point in successful tree |
planting is to select mcdium-sized |
trees, so as TO secure good roots. Keep |
the roots from exposure to sun and |
wind while handling, take pains in set
ting and mulch literally.
Kisses or Drop-cakes. cup of
butter, two cups of sugar, three-fourths |
cup of water, one-half teaspoonful |
soda, two eggs, four and a half or five
cups flour; drop them on n tin, and put
a lump of sugar in the centre of each.
French Pancakes. s.-Take half a
pint of sour milk, one egg, pinch of
salt, small half teaspoonful soda, flour
to make thin batter; bake in large
cakes, spread with butter and currant
jelly, and roll them up nicely to serve;
sprinkle sugar over it If you choose.
Lemon Butter. One and half
cupfuls white sugar, whites of three
eggs, yelk of one, grated rind and juice
of q lemon and half, or two small
ones; cook over slow fire twenty
minutes, stirring all the while. Very
nice for tarts, or to be eaten as pre-.
serves.
To use an elastic band around
leaky teat, will be injurious. The COM
preston will soon cause mischief. Any
other mechanical contrivance will
doubtless have the same effect. A safe
practice is to procure some collodion at
the druggists, and as soon as the milk
ing is over to cover the end of the teat
with a film of it. This dries instantly,
and shrinks in drying, thus closing the
orifice so gently as not to be hurtful,
and will break away in milking.
Fruit Pudding.-Pour over half
loaf of dry bread boiling water enough
to cover it; let it stand until soft, then
drain off the water and add to it three
eggs well beaten, two cups of white
sugar, lump of butter the size of a
hulled walnut, and pint of any dried
fruit you please. Mix the ingredients
thoroughly; put in floured cloth, drop
into boiling water, and keep it covered
and boiling for one hour. Serve with
sweet or sour sauce, as you prefer.
Good cream, well sweetened, into
which you have squeezed the juice of
lemon is best.
Cream Cake.-Two cups sugar,
one-half cup butter, we'll beaten to-
gether; three eggs; one cup milk, one
teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half tea
spoonful soda, flour to make as stiff as
cup cake-three or three and one-half
cups. This recipe makes two loaves,
For the cream, one pint milk.
one cup sugar, two eggs, three
desert spoonfuls corn-starch; flavor
with lemon or vanilla, or the grated
rind of two oranges and the juice of
the oranges; stir all together and put
into tin kettle, set into kettle of
boiling water, and stir until it thickens;
bake the cake in layers, (the recipe
makes six,) and spread the cream be-
tween them. Very nice.
Use of Stale Bread. -Toast-Soak
the slices in milk which has been sweet
ened and mixed with two beaten eggs,
after which fry in hot lard and serve
with fruit sauce or jelly. Pudding
Soak the bread in milk, and when quite
soft stir it up fine, add four beaten eggs,
little salt, sugar to taste, grated rind
of one lemon, as much more milk or
water to make soft batter. Mix well
and turn into a well-greased pudding
dish, and bake in a quick oven from
one-half to three-quarters of an hour.
A little baking powder may be added il

be made far better by putting the stiff.
