FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Corn loses one-ffth by drying the
wheat fourteenth. When is and
best time to sellP
If your house plants are looking
sickly, water the ground freely with q
weak solution of oarbolic acid. Applied
with a feather to the stalks 1t will kill
lice.
Vases that are to remain outside
all winter, especially deep ones, should
have the soil removed from them, as
the action of the frost will swell and
crack them.
Brine to Corn Beef.-Five gallons
of water, one gallon of salt, one-half
pound of saltpetre, one and one-half
pounds of brown sugar. Boil this MKT
ure fifteen minutes. When cold, pour
over the beef.
Ice Cream Cake. Take the whites
of five eggs, one and half cups of SUI
gar, one-half cup of butter, one cup of
milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one
teaspoOnful of cream tartar, three cups
of flour. Separate this mixture and
color half with strawberry coloring.
Flavor this with vanilla, the white with
lemon. Put in the white then the pink.
Bake slowly.
Rice Cakes.-A cupful of boiled
rice left from dinner will make a very
nice breakfast, nicely adding one beaten
egg, salt, a cupful of sweet milk and
enough flour to make rather thick
batter. Sift little sea foam through
the flour, and in frying the cakes use q
little more fat than for ordinary grid
die cakes. Serve with scrambled ham
and eggs, or eat with butter and sirup.
--Raisin Pie Take one pound of
raisins; turn over them one quart of
boiling water. Keep adding so there
will be one quart when done. Crate
the rind of one lemon into cup of
sugar, then add three teaspoonfuls of
flour and one egg; mix well together.
Turn the raisins over the mixture, STIR
ring the while. This makes three pies.
Bake as other pies.
Pork and Beans. First pick your
beans over; put them in an earthen
crock and fill it with cold water, and
let it stand over night; if your pork is
too salt parboil it for short time; put
it in deep baking dish and put the
beans around it; fill the dish with hot
or cold water, cover it closely, and set
it in the oven, and let it bake rather
slowly until noon, or from three to four
hours. Do not let it get too dry; if
you cannot see the water you must add
more.
Cranberry Dumpling-One quart
of flour, one teaspoonful of soda and
two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar,
sifted together; mix into soft dough
with sweet milk; roll the dough out
very thin in oblong shapes, and spread
over it one quart of cranberries, picked
and washed clean; add half pound of
sugar, sprinkled evenly; fold over and
over, then tie in pudding cloth and
put into a steamer, where let it cook
over steady fire for one hour, with
faith, never looking into the pot. Serve
with a good sauce.
Homemade Phosphates Ground
bone mixed with ashes in equal quanti-
ties will act more slowly than if acid be
used, but it will cost less, and therefore
farmer may afford to use it more
freely. The quantity of sulphuric acid
necessary to dissolve the bone would
produce no marked effect upon the soil,
and as ashes have value of their own,
we would advise farmers to use them
| if they have an abundance. SUI
perphosphate made on the farm by
either of the above methods would be
as valuable as that purchased in the
markets.
