It used to be the custom to soak lard
in cold water for twenty-four hours be-
fore "trying out" This was thought
necessary to remove the blood and make
it white and clean. More modern house
wives, some of them, have learned that it
is just as we'll to omit the soaking, as the
lard purifes itself during the boiling
process.
When wet boots are taken off fill them
quite full with dry oats. This grain has
great fondness for damp, and will rapid
~ absorb the least vestige CT it from the
wet leather. AS it quickly and COM
pletely takes up the moisture, it swells
and fills the boot with tightly fitting
last, keeping its form good and drying
the leather without hardening it.

scour the marble with pawder. This will
be very good rubbing, give beautiful

Ve'nai,a ON Cottze.-A good remedy for
lice on cattle is water in which potatoes
we're boiled. For every one of your cat
tie take two quarts Of water and eight
middle-sized potatoes cut in half. If
you have ten cattle, you must take eighty
potatoes and twenty quarts af water.
When the potatoes are soft take them
out. Get large sponge and wash the
cattle freely, choosing a warm day.
Comb them with a currycomb, and you
will be astonished to see the effects of
the potato water.
Hoao to Cook Fssh.-Fish should not be
put in to fry until the fat is boiling hot.
It should besdipped in Indian meal be-
fore it is put in, the skinny side upper
most when first put in to prevent its
breaking. Itrelishes better to be fried
after salt pork than in lard alone. Never
put fresh fish to soak in water. If you
want to keep it sweet, clean and wash it.;
wipe dry with clean towel. sprinkle
salt inside and out, put in covered dish
and keep on the cellar bottom until you
want to cook it. If you live remote from
the seaport, and cannot get fish hard and
fresh, wet it with an egg (beaten) before
