Cheese Biscuits. Have little puff

double up the paste, roll it out rather
thin, and cut it with round paste cut
ter, glaze with egg, arrange on a but
tered tin, and bake in sharp oven till
of light yellow color.
Partridge Cochins.-The Partridge
Cochin takes its name from the fact
that it is the color of the partridge.
The white or buff is the more popular
color. The cock ought not to weigh
less than ten pounds, and a fine one
will reach thirteen. The hen should
weigh from eight to ten pounds. They
are prolific winter layers.
Lemon Pudding. Take three eggs,
well beaten, add the juice of three lem
ons and the peel of two chopped fine or
grated, a quarter of pound of lump
sugar, three ounces of butter melted to
an oil. Line dish with puff paste, put
in the mixture and bake for three-quar-
ters of an hour. N. B.-Oranges may
be substituted for the lemons.
-Jugged Rabbit. up rabbit
into pieces, not too small, lard the
shoulders, thighs and best pieces of the
back with bacon. Put them into jug
or earthen jar, with the blood of the
rabbit, a bundle of sweet herbs, an
onion stuck with cloves, few shallots
and some pepper and salt. Cover the
mouth of the jar with common paste,
and put it into saucepan of boiling
water just up to the neck, boil slowly

Pear Blight. MIR. William Sanders
Superintendent of the Agriculture,
Grounds at Washington, says he has
been experimenting long time to try
to prevent blight, and whether or no
he has an infaIlible remedy he is una
BILE to determines; he only knows tha
for ten years he has painted or washed
apple and pear trees once or twice {
year with lime whitewash strongly i'm
pregnated with sulphur, and such tree'
have thus far escaped the blight, though
it has increased in the adjacent or
chards.
Spring Wheat.-The new process
of grinding has made the value of ex
ira spring wheat equal to that of thu
best fall wheat, and the earlier spring
wheat is sown the better. 1t is as easy
to produce extra wheat as No. 8 or re
jected. The whole difference is jus
that between careful and slovenly farm
ing. Perfectly clean seed, of a pure
variety, and well-prepared ground, viii
produce first quality of wheat; but will
foul seed, mixed with oats and rubbish
as we sow, so we reap.
Apple Orchards. If yeu have no
young orchard plant one this spring
Farmers often do not seem to realizt
that the old orchards will not bear for
ever. Plant only standard varietie
that are known to do well in your neigh
borhood, and let the varieties be few
and nine-tenths of them the long keep
ers. Late winter apples can be solt
eight months in the year. They almos
always bring extra prices in the spring
We know of farmers who have neve
lost faith in this crop and are reapine
golden harvests from orchards planted
twenty years ago. First, plant an or
chard; second, take care of it.
