FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Kidney Sautes. Skin. parboil and
slice the kidneys. Place them in fry
ing pan with plenty of butter, toss them
till done, add pepper, salt, little
minced parsley and juice of lemons;
serve hot.
-Repelling Moths.-If fine cut to-
bacco be placed under the edge of car
pets, and under those places where
bureaus, bookcases and the like make
it dark, the moths will be prevented
from laying their eggs in them, as it
will drive them away.
Milk of Roses.-Put into small
bottle two ounces of rose water, one
teaspoonful of the oil of sweet almonds,
ten drops of oil of tar. Shake the bot
tie until the whole is combined, and
you have q very nice cosmetic to apply
to the skin after washing.
Eggs in Case of Trouble. The
white of an egg is said to be a specific
for fish bones sticking in the throat. 1t
is to be swallowed raw and will carry
down bone easily and certainly.
There is another fact touching eggs
which it will be well to remember.
When, as sometimes by accident, cor
rosive sublimate is swallowed, the
white of one or two eggs taken will
neutralize the poison, and change the
effect to that of dose of calomel.
AS soon as newly hatched chickens
are strong enough to handle, say in
twenty-four hours after they come from
the shell, grease the top of the head
with little lard, repeating the opera
ton at the end of week. If you oan
trust yourself to use mercurial oint-
ment mix bit of the ointment quarter
as large as q pea with sufficient lard OF
oil to grease brood of chickens, and
apply to the head, rubbing it we'll in.
An eminent poultry raiser assures us
that chicks treated in this manner
never become affected with gapes, pro-
vided they are supplied with fresh
water and have ordinarily good care.
"A writer in the Southern Farmer
says that his COW gives all the milk that
is wanted in family of eight, and thai
from il, after taking all that is re
quired for other purposes, 260 pounds
of butter were made this year. This is
in part his treatment of the COW: " II
you desire to get large yield of rich
milk give your cows every day water
slightly warm and slightly salted, in
which bran has been stirred at the rate
of one quarter to two gallons of water
You will find, if you have not tried this
daily practice, that your COW will give
twenty-five per cent more milk imme.
diately under the effects of il, and she
will become so attached to the diet as
to refuse to drink clear water unless
very thirsty. But this mess she will
drink almost any time and ask for
more. The amount of this drink nee
essary is an ordinary water pailful at 9
time, morning, noon and night"
Rust in Wheat.-A correspondent
of the Pacific Rural Press gives us a
remedy the treatment of the seed
with carbolic acid, stating that it will
improve the yield, prevent all smut and
keep off insects. The method of treat
ment is as follows-Use No. 3 carboliC
acid, four ounces to two gallons Of
water. This quantity is sufficient fol
four bushels of wheat. No bluestone
or anything else is required. Method
of application-Spread a sheet of tar.
paulin on the ground, place the wheat
thereon, which spread we'll out; then
apply the mixture through the nozzle
of an ordinary watering pot, taking
care to distribute the solution fairly
over all the wheat; then mix the wheat
thoroughly with shovel, so that he
seed will escape being saturated OF
moistened with the mixture; if this is
done at night the seed may be sown
next morning. There is no fear of the
carbolic acid destroying the germinat.

rain setting in and preventing imme-
diate sowing, it can with safety be
kept few days without injury. 1t is,
at least, worth trying.
