A DRESSING FOR SLAw.-Cut your
cabbage very fine, salt, and add little
sugar allow 10 stand twenty minutes
then take a cup one-third full of vine
gar, fill with sweet cream, and pour
over Il.
RICE PIE.-To pint of boiled rice
add a pint Of rich cream, two eggs, salt,
and little mace. Let these Ingredients
be well mixed, spread half the quantity
in deep baking dish, lay pieces Of
chicken upon it and cover them with
the remainder of the rice, and bake in
hot oven.
MEAT can be made tender, it is said,
by softening the libers with vinegar. A
steak turned over four or five times in a
couple of hours on plate containing a
little vinegar, salad oil and pepper, will
become tenderer and be far better than
if battered with arolling-pin or cleaver,
which forces all the juices out of it.
To REMOVE STAINS FROM DRESSES.
Stains from fabrics may be removed
by moistening the spot with solution Of
EPSON salts in a few drops Of hot water,
Rub well the first time and then moisten
again. Next fill tin vessel with boiling
water, and set It on the stained place for
few minutes, and afterward wash out
in warm water. 1t is advisable to have
articles thus treated washed immedi.
ately.
DELICIOUS LEMON PE.-Grate the
yellow rind Of the lemon, and squeeze
out the juice beat the yelks of eight
eggs with sixteen tablespoonfuls Of
sugar and four of butter; add half o
teacupful of sweet milk and the whites
of four eggs beat stiff; add the lemons
and bake in a rich crust; beat the re-
naming four whites with two spoonfuls
of sugar and some grated nutmeg,
When the pies are done, spread this over
the top, and brown lightly.
TREATMENT OF HEAvEs.-Heaves is
frequently caused by indigestion, and al
other times by the Introduction of dust,
| spores of mold, and other irritating
substances from the food into the lungs
and air passages. In the former case a
change of food and mild purgative, OF
even an alkali, as lime-water or soda,
will be effective. In the latter case, the
removal of the cause and the use of hy-
| posulphite of soda in one-ounce doses, to
neutralize the effect of the absorption OF
the diseased matter, will generally allay
the trouble. Horses troubled with
heaves are almost always benefited by
feeding on soft food of a nutritious and
not bulky character, thus avoiding
distension of the stomach.-N. Y
Times.
"WATER FOUNDER" is not essential
ly differentfrom grain founder in horses.
In the initial stages poultice the feet and
give full doses Of sedatives-one to two
drachms of lobelia daily for two or three
days, and renew the poultices three
times u day until Inflammation has sub
sided. Remove the shoes with care,
give the horse a good bed, and encour-
age him to lie down as much as possible.
Laxative medicines may also be given
with benefit. Aloes are best for the
horse. AS soon as the fever has been
subdued, walk the animal about on soft
| ground, but do not attempt it while the
feet are so tender as to give him pain.
When the feet have again become some
what free from soreness, put on the bar
shoes slightly fastened, if in winter, but
in summer leave the feet bare and turn
out in pasture free of stone, and il
somewhat moist and wet, so much the
better. In some cases it will be neces-
sary to open small holes in the hoof OF
bottom of the foot to let out pus that
may form within. Treatment, how
ever, must be varied according to the
severity of the case.-N. Y. Sun.
