HINTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Dried beef can be cut off with q
nIane in the thinnest shavings, and is
much nicer than with any other method
Pure white CASTLE is little expen-
siye for washing fabrics, but its purity
preserves the color of silk handerchiefs,
ribbons, etc., wonderfully.
In the washing of children's stock
ingS a great help will be found in using
wooden stocking forms on which to
dry them. You can obtain them at the
stores, or have them made to order
without much expense.
One of the infallible rules of know
ing careless housekeeper is observing
where she keeps the matches. If they
are scattered over every shelf in the
house, be sure she is careless; but if
she has a matchbox in nearly every
room, there must be q different decis-
ion.
-Cup-puddings: Take 1 quart of
milk, 5 yelks and white of egg, Ia
blespoonfulS of -four, and about pound
of butter, and as much sugar as requir-
ed; bake in cups, beat the whites of
eggs and powdered sugar to froth, and
pile on top; serve with sauce.
For washing red table linen, use
tepid water, with a little powdered
borax, which serves to set the color;
wash the linen separately and quickly,
using very little soap; rinse in tepid
water, containing little boiled starch;
hang to dry in the shade, and iron when
almost dry.
There should always be hanging
above the sink and dish-pan pocket OF
wood containing the bowl of broken
brittania spoon, and a small knife about
4 inches long, made of very hard wood,
and sharpened at the corners. The
spoon bowl will be found serviceable for
cleaning and scraping kettles, and the
knife for multitude of uses.
-Clothes-pin bags are usually made
with shirstring run in the top, and
are always a nuisance. They are much
nicer hemmed round the top and
hung up by means of a loop. A basket
with wire hook fastened on the ham
die to hang on the line, or box with
cords fastened at the corners, and nm
ished with hook to allow hanging OF
and slipping along the line, is nicer
still.
Baked Rice Pudding: Boil together
in saucepan pint of milk and the graf
ed peel of a small lemon. In another
saucepan boil a teacupfal Of rice until
tender, and, when done, drain off all the
water. Beat eggs till light, stir them
in the milk, with l ounce of fresh but
ter, a 4 of pound of stoned raisins, a
! of a pound of sugar, a little grated
nutmeg, and 2 tablespoonfuls of rose
water. Add the rice. Stir all well to-
gether, and bake in buttered tin ! an
hour.
Potato Yeast without Hops Having
noticed number of recei pts for making
Yeast in your paper, writes house
keeper, all which require hops, o11er
,,,;no, which will be found more simple
and q decided improvement on the OLD
method of making hop yeast. Pare and
CRATE large potatoes, over which pour
8 pints of boiling water, stirring thor
oughly. Let it boil slowly five minutes
then add l teacupful of sugar and OF
salt. After they have entirely dissolv-
ed, empty into vessel to cool. When
a little more than lukewarm, add large
teacupful of yeast, and put it in warm
place to rise. When sufficiently risen,
it will have light, frothy appearance,
and will remain sweet for weeks II Kept
in cool place.

hay for ten days or two weeks before
calVing. After the calf comes, it is re-
moved from the cow and put into pen
purposely provided for the little stran-
ger, where it is kept in seclusion until it
is two months old. The COW is MIXED
three times a day and the milk is given
to the calf, which is taught to drink
from the first. This plan avoids
the holding up of the milk
and the injury therefrom with
COWS of unusual stupidity and
stubbornness. By giving only dry hay
the flow of milk is retarded, and yet
sufficient for the calf is procured. When
the milk becomes good, on the fifth
day, the COW is removed from her sepa-
rate calving pen into her proper stall
and is put on regular rations gradually,
so that she comes to her full milk in a
week or ten days. The calf is given
skinned milk only after the fifth day,
but this is warmed to the usual heat of
new milk. After a month the calf will
begin to eat little cut hay and feed,
such as is given to the COW, and at three
months has no more milk and takes
half peck of the cut-feed at meal
twice day. As soon as the grass is
ready my calves are turned
into an orchard of an acre,
which is in grass and clover, and re-
ceive twice day little cut hay and
meal. In this way heifer calves begin
to breed at II or y months of age, and
become dams at less than 2 years. A
2-year-old COW thus raised is now Civ
ing IA quarts of milk per day, and is
yielding 8 pounds of butter per week.
In these times early profit is necessary,
even if we should all the sooner ex-
haust the fountain, for we can easily
set another a-going. To figure up the
cost and income of carrying on dairy
managed in this way, compared with one
on the old method of bringing heifers
to profit at 3 years, will show at least
50 per cent. more profit on the modern
than on the ancient plan.-Nea0 York
Times.

FARM TOPICS.

! PLANTING POTATOEs.-I discard the
seed ends and then cut the potatoes IN
as many pieces as the size OF it will ad-
NIT, each piece not smaller than a hens
agg. If there are more than two eyes
M q piece cut them out. Let them wilt
sfew days and plant in rows three feet
apart and fifteen inches in the row. In
this way l can raise more marketable
potatoes than in any way have ever
trsd.-Cor. Exchange.
CARBoLIC ACID IN THE HORSE STA
BLE.-From desire to contribute to the
valuable columns from which l have
often derived considerable help, ven
tureto sing the praises of that vile
smelling compound, carbolic acid. Ac-
cidental ly have discovered that moth
ing Ihave used equals it for removing
stabA,stainS from light horses.
Reduce the acid with about forty times
its bulk of water and apply with q
sponge, rag or brush, rubbing we'll: If
the stains are old, two or three applica-
tions may be necessary; but once using
will remove all fresh discolorations.
Carbolized water is also cure for the
dry y-scaM, from which some horses sui
fer. Use it also for washing your horses
legs, feet and fetlocks if you wish to
prevent cratches.-COr. N. Y. Tribune.
INCOMING COws.-The proper treat
ment of incoming COWS is very impor-
tant for their future condition. A COW
may be easily spoiled. Overlooking IS
as Injurious as starving and may often
be more difficult to remedy. Cows that
have been highly or even well fed, need
to be reduced somewhat before that
time for calving approaches, and should
be dried off at least a month before the
time expires. With 20 COWS that are
highly fed for large production OF milk
and are kept in excellent condition, |
find the greatest care is needed to AVOID
trouble with the udder after calving.
This care involves the change OF feed,
gradually, from three bushels OF cut
hay, six quarts of malt sprouts, meas
ured dry, stepped for six hours; four
quarts of mixed meal of corn, oats, and
wheat.bran, and two quarts of cotton
seed meal per day, to nothing but dry

WASHINGTON specials say there Is an ac-
tive attempt on the part of the Democrats TO
create an impression among the soldiers that
the bill providing for the payment Of the
arrears of pensions was Democratic meas
ure; and acd: So far from this being true,
the pension committee opposed it at every
stage, and on its final passage every vote
against it-sixty-one in number-came from
the Democratic side. The bill was reported
April 1, 1878, under suspension of the rules
by Mr.. Sampson, of Iowa. 1t was stoutly op-
posed from the Democratic side, notably by
the chairman of the pension committee,
Rice, who even undertook to have a little
fillbu>tering to defeat it while the vote was
proceeding. Rice went over to Sampson
aud charged him with playing the
demagogue, since the pension committee had
bill OIL the subject pending. This bill, how
ever, was one in which it was sought to use
Republican support for paying the arrears of
pensions to carry through the Democratic
plan of restoring all pensioners who went in
to the rebellion to the rolls, which PROPOSE
tion Rice's proposed bill contained. At this
time the Democrats defeated the bill. When
it next came up Rice tried to obstruct its pas
sage on the groupd that it had not been con-
sdered by the pension committee. 1t passed
the House, however, by 164 to 81, 1.-The latter

THE Virginia Star, in commenting upon
the recent appointment to office of Gen.
Longstreet, says: eve pay on demand, our
men of talent and devotion; so do the North
ern people pay theirs. They occasionally pay
some men who were traitors TO their ideas !;
zoe pay none ,cho are traitors to OUR ideas.
Longstreet has no claim upon Southern
sympathy: but he has upon Northern sympa-
thy, and has been given in consideration the
pestofice at GAINESVILLE" The Northern
people will do well to make a note of this,
and refuse to reward men who were traitors
to our IDEAS. We can take lesson from the
South in that.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter reminds
us that ut is worth bearing in mind that
while failures entail losses upon individuals,
they do not impair the aggregate wealth of
the country, and that just as much remains
to maintain specie payments with, and to be
used in the purchase of goods, and for all the
purposes of business, as IL there hadn't been
a single suspension since the year began.
This is truism which we have often iterated.
but it will bear repetition, for it contains the
germs of that consolation which renders fall
ures endurable to all but the defaulting
debtors and their ill-starred creditors"
