HOLE, FARM AND GARDEN.

HOLE, Farm AND GARDEN.
LAND in grass should be, protected
the first year from the merciless tramp
ing of stock. In wet weather the grass
is much injured, both from the tramping
and close grazing.
- WAFFLEs-One quart of milk, three
eggs, two teaspoOnfuls of baking pow.
der, one tablespoonful each of butter
and sugar, and flour enough to make
rather stiff batter. Bake in waffle
irons.
REFLECTION FROM sLAMPS.-Never.
set the lamp upon q red table cover; If
you can not find time to make green
lamp mat. put piece of green card
board under the lamp and you will find
the reflection upon your work much
more agreeable to the eyes than that
from the red cover. s.. S-S-l.z-
GOLD BALLOONS FOR DEsERT.-Take
one ounce of sweet almonds, blanched
and pounded smooth, three tablespoon
fuls peach marmalade, or any other
kind of jam, two ounces of fine bread
crumbs and two well-beaten eggs. Beat
well together. then add one ounce of
of butter melted to the consistency of
cream. Half fill some buttered cups with
the mixture and bake twenty minutes
in slow oven.
MINCE Pies WITH MEAT. Two
pounds of fresh roast beef chopped fine;
four pounds of chopped greening APP
pies; two pounds of chopped raisins,
one pound not cut. one pound of finely
chopped suet, one. pound of sugar, a
quart of sweet pickle with juice; q pint
OF maple sirup boiled with one quart of
cider down to half; tablespoonful of
cinnamon, dessert-spoonful powdered
cloves and grated nutmeg; salt. :
CH1LDREN's PUDDMG.-Cut up loaf
of stale bread the day before it is re-
quired and put to soak in pan of cold
wafer. When going to mix, squeeze
the water out through colander, put
the bread in a pan with two ounces of
suet chopped fine, two tablespoonful
of flour, some grated ginger, a little
mixed spice, beat well up with fork,
mix half a pound of molasses with a
little warm milk, then stir all together
and boil three hours in cloth, basin or
mold. This will make large pudding
much liked by children.
A HINT TO HoRsEMEN.-The man
who has been exposed to heat and ia
tigue, and is suffering from thirst, dares
not indulge freely in the use of cold
water. He calls for tea or. coffee, the
hotter the better, and is soon refreshed. )
But the poor. horse, reeking at every
pore, cannot call for drink. The care
full owner wisely withholds the cooling
draught till the animal has had time to
cool. A livery man, who has had a
long and successful experience, finds it
wise to treat his horses as he would
himself be treated, not with cup of
tea, but with copious draughts of warm
water. This allays thirst with no possi-)
BILE danger, since it is not the water
that harms the horse, but the violent
change, caused by the sudden lowering
of temperature by swallowing cold
water.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
World says: II have recently learned
what appears to me to be the true
method OF coloring and stripping rag
carpet before it goes to the weavers; a
method which insures against the ne
cessity of adding every few days more
rags to make up the right amount. The
rule for twenty-five yards is. one pound
of cotton rags for one thread on each
side of the stripe. Two pounds will
make two threads ON each side, and
four threads require four pounds.
Weigh the rags previous to coloring
them, and then stripe according to the
weight. Observe the same rule for the
plain stripe; if you want thirty threads
you will need fifteen pounds. Wind
your own stripe. advise lady readers
to try this plan, for it will save them
much trouble after the carpet has been
taken to the weavers." -
