FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


-Macaroni Soup. Boil one quart of
tomatoes one hour; strain them; add
two teaspoonfuls of butter; salt and
pepper; put in the macaroni and boil
half an hour slowly.
One may have radishes right along
through the season by sowing every
two weeks or every week. We prefer
for delicacy the French breakfast rad
ish, but to some the size is so small that
it may not be worth the trouble.
Corn Bread. Beat the whites and
yelks separately of two eggs, one pint
of rich sour milk, two tablespoons of
sugar and one of melted butter, and a
little salt, mix all well together except
the whites of the eggs; roll perfectly
free from Jumps two-thirds of tea
spoon of soda into one pint of corn
meal; sift together and stir into the
other ingredients; beat well, and last
ly, put in the well-beaten whites.
Pour into well-buttered pan and bake.
Professor Miles in an excellent work
on stock-breeding quotes an eminent
scientist whose opinion on this matter
is valued highly. by men of wide expert
ence. This writer says that the ova-
rum of fowl is composed of 600 ovales
or eggs, and that in the whole course
of the lifetime of an industrious hen
she cannot possibly lay more than 600
eggs, which are distributed over a
period of about nine years, the second,
third and fourth being the most profit
able to the raiser.
Beans, corn, radish, lettuce and
other vegetables required for use dur
ing the season should be planted at in
tervals of ten days to three weeks. The
sowing of lettuce should end with June
in the North, and at that season the
summer varieties of radish should be
planted. The last crop of string beans
and sweet corn should be planted in
the latitude of Chicago about the 1st to
the 10th of July. If the last planting
of corn is killed by frost before it comes
into milk, it is worth all it costs as fod-
der.
-Frangipane Tart.-Sheet tart-tin
with puff paste; pour into it some of
the following cream: Beat well four
eggs, add to them a pint of cream, four
spoonfuls of flour and some loaf sugar;
put them into a stew-pan, and rasp in,

lemon; simmer the whole, constantly
stirring it, on slow fire, for about
twenty minutes; then stir in two dozen
sweet and bitter almonds, previously
beaten to paste, with a few drops of
water. Having filled the tart with this
cream, bake it, and sift over it fine
sugar.
AT recent agricultural meeting in
Salem, Mass, the following practical
points were brought out with reference
to raising squashes. First, if squashes
were planted in season to give full
crop one must fight the small striped
bug and the large black bug. Keeping
the vines sprinkled with fine plaster
was the best way to protect them from
the striped bug. A shingle at each hill
for shelter for the black bug at night
and trap from which to take him in
the morning was the best known way
to protect the vine from his depreda-
tions. Some thought much, if not all,
that had been charged to maggots and
borers should be charged to the black
bugs. Farmers in the vicinity of Low
ell and Lawrence prefer to plant after
the goth of June, with the expectation
of smaller crops, but no trouble from
bugs, borers or maggots.
-Macaroni and Cheese,-Take one
quarter of pound of macaroni, three
ounces of dry grated cheese, one-half
ounce of butter, one-half pint of milk
one egg, one gill of cream, a little pep
per and salt, and one grain of cayenne
pepper. Wash the macaroni slightly
in cold water, but don't soak it; then
cover it with cold water and boil fifteen
minutes. Then turn the water off, add
the milk and boil half an hour longer.
When boiled beat the cream in bowl,
add the egg, and beat it well also, then
add the pepper and salt-plenty of pep
per and very little salt; the pepper
helps digestion; add also the cayenne
pepper; take two ounces of the cheese
and one ounce of the butter and put it
in with the macareni and mix well to-
gether; pour into deep dish, sprinkle
over the top the rest of the cheese; add
little more pepper and salt, divide
into pieces the half ounce of butter
which remains on the top, and brown
in the oven few minutes.
