FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Veal Cutlets.-Get some young veal
chops, season with salt and pepper;
take some soda crackers, pulverize
them (Which is easily done with a roll
ing pin), beat up two eggs, dip the cut
lets into IL, then the crackers, and fry
on hot fire nice brown.
"A writer in the Live Stock Journal
says: 81 have kept dogs all my life,
but no feas. Take common tobacco
stems, such as you can get at any cigar
factory, and put it in the dogs bed, and
you will have no heas. In the winter
make beds of equal quantities of hay
and tobacco stems; in the summer all
stems"
--Woolen shirts are the best for farm
ers both in summer and winter. They
absorb the perspiration, prevent chills
and protect the person from sudden
changes of temperature. The colors
are permanent, and with wide turn
down collar of the same material, blue
flannel makes an appropriate and tidy
garment.
The practice of washing sheep be-
fore shearing is very disagreeable, and
is unnecessary. Nothing is gained in
the price of the wool-in fact, the usual
deduction made by wool buyers for un-
washed wool leaves an advantage with
the seller. The practice is dangerous
to health of both men and sheep, and
may well oe abolished.
New Way to Cook Chickens. Cut
the chicken up, put it in a pan and
cover il over with water; let it stew as
usual, and when done make thicken-
ing of cream and flour, adding piece
of butter and pepper and salt. Have
made and bake pair of short cakes,
made as for pie-crust, but roll thin and
cut in small squares. This is much
better than chicken pie and more sim
pie to make. The crusts should be laid
on dish and the chicken gravy poured
over while both are hot.
drinking water excessively in warm
weather weakens and debilitates the
system. Coffee taken when thirst first
approaches will often allay it until the
dinner or supper hour. Tea, vinegar
and water, or lemonade, are excellent;
ginger, molasses and vinegar, with
water, is refreshing, as is also cool
sweet milk or buttermilk. Frequent
baths allay thirst. / often refresh my
self in the heat of the day by bathing
head, neck and arms in a cool spring
brook-not by dousing the members
suddenly, but by laving them with the
moist hand first. During the heated
term it is profitable to take longer moor
rests, working more in the cool of the
mornings and evenings.
Cherry Compete. is very
delicious form in which to serve the
cherry, and those who try it once, will
be certain to "try, try again" Gu
off the stalks of some of the ripest anC
most highly-fiavored cherries. Cut the
stalks about halfway up; wash them il
cold water, and allow to drain unit
they are entirely dry. If you have
cherry sirup use it. If not, make SOM
plain sugar sirup in the usual way
Throw in the cherries and let then
boil rapidly for four, five or six boils
Remove the scum, if there is any, anC
allow it to get cold. Now place in
deep glass dish or compotier. TAX
especial pains to have all the stalk
point upward. Now pour in the sirup
add the juice of a lemon.
Cherry Paste.-To make this de
lightful confection, select some of tn
best and ripest cherries; extract boil
= the stalks and stones; put them into
! copper preserving-pan, always remem
bering this rule-never under any cir
r cumstances to use any tin in connection
, with red fruits. Now mash the pulp
place the pan over the fire and boil un
til the fruit is soft; keep stirring tn
, pulp constantly while it is over the fire
, pass and press through hair sieve
t For every pound of fruit add three
} quarters of pound of best finely-pul
t verized sugar. Place again over tn
fire. Do not permit very fierce boi
3 now. Allow to simmer only, and kee
| constantly in motion by stirring unit
= the pulp is reduced TO the consistenc
/ of thick marmalade. Now remov
\ from the fire and spread the fruit o.
4 sheets of paper. Place in the hot close
/ to dry. After the fruit has becom
r thoroughly dried it may be formed int
a knots or rings, and cut up into variou
, shapes, plain or fanciful, and then crys
tallized.
