FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Hot tSlaw.-Shavet the cabbage fine;
put it on with Just water enough to
cook It; when it is done put little milk
in, salt and pepper; then rub a little
flour in some butter and stir in. An
egg may be stirred in in place Of the
flour.
Potato Fritters. six cold
boiled potatoes, add to them one pint
of cream or new milk, and flour enough
to make as stiff batter as for other
fritters, the yelk of three eggs, then the
beaten whites. salt, end fry in sweet
butter.
Sauce for Boiled Rice. Beat the
yelks of three eggs into sugar enough
TO make it quite sweet. Add teacup
of cream, and the grated peel and juice
of two lemons. This is good sauce
for other puddings, especially for corn
starch puddings.
The simple and effectual plan for
making boots and shoes proof against
snow water is nothing more than lit
tie beeswax and mutton suet warmed
in pipkin until in a liquid state. Then
rub some of it lightly over the edges of
the sole where the stitches are, which
will repel the wet, and not in the least
prevent the blacking from having the
usual effect.
To Cure Indigestion in a Horse.
Give, morning and evening, during ev-
cry other week, the following dose,
mixed among slightly damped oats:
One dram each of powdered sHlphate of
iron and ginger, and two drains of
powdered gentian. Keep lump of
rock salt and some powdered prepared
chalk constantly within reach of the
horse. When weather permits, give
the horse liberty outdoors during the
day.
To Remove Warts on Horses.-A
strong, waxed thread, of the kind
which shoemakers or saddlers use, may
be tied very tight around the wart, at
its base, close to the skin, without pull
ing on the wart. If, in the course of a
week the wart does not drop off, anoth-
er thread may be similarly applied, be-
tween the one first applied and the skin.
When the tumor has dropped off apply
once daily small portion of tincture
of iron; generally no other treatment
is required.
-Millet has never been regarded
with. favor by horse breeders The
seed, which is very rich in nitrogenous
properties, is so abundant, that when
horses eat as much of it as they usually
do where it is used as a substitute for
hay, the effects are apt to be injurious.
Used sparingly, and mixed with prairie
hay, it is a perfectly safe, and even de-
sirable article of food.
Flannel Cakes. One pint sweet
milk, half teaspoonful salt, two tea
spoonfuls sugar, yelks of two eggs, and
flour (sifted) enough to make thin
batter, just thick enough to bake on
griddle; when well beaten add two
teaspoontuls good baking powder, mix
thoroughly, and lastly, add whites OF
eggs beaten to a stiff froth; don't beat
them in, but stir gently through the
batter; bake at once.
Ham ON Toast.-An elegant and
appetizing lunch or supper dish is
made as follows: Chop very fine some
baked or boiled ham, and to large
teaspoonful of it add an egg we'll beaten
up, a small bit of butter and little
cream. Have ready some neatly cut
pieces of bread, about the size of a
dollar piece, but little thicker, fried
in good butter; spread the mixture on
these, and serve them on a napkin.
Baked Indian Pudding.-Boil a
quart of sweet milk, thicken with two
tablespoonfuls of sifted cornmeal. Add
three tablespoonfuls molasses or sugar,
a tablespoon of butter, one egg, a salt
spoon of salt, nutmeg or cinnamon to
taste. Bake one hour if your even is
quick; if slow heat, one hour and a
half. Eat warm from the oven, or cool
if preferred, with sirup or other sauce.
Don't think to improve it by adding
more eggs. 1t should bake until cur
died, like an over-baked custard.
