HOME AND FARM.

NO soap that INJURIES Jne nan0S SnOulu
ever be used for clothing; 1t is sure to
do harm in the end.
GOATS ought always to be kept in
large stables, because they will face
fire, and horses will follow them out,
though they would not go by themselves.
DRY WAsH.-To clean white Shetland
shawls, put the soiled article into a large
bowl, throw over it half teacupful of
| flour, "dry," rub thoroughly, as II
washing, and then thoroughly shake out
the flour. If the article is not clean, re-
peat the process in clean flour. Arti-
cles cleaned by this process will retain
new look rs long as there is one thread
left.
MUFFINs.-- eggs, one pint flour,
one teaspoon baking powder, one tea
cup milk, piece of butter half the size
of an egg, and little salt. Mix the
-four, baking powder and salt together.
| In another dish beat the yelks of the
eggs, add the milk and butter, then the
flour, then the beaten whites. Beat
well together and bake in gem irons in a
hot oven.
DRYING FRUITs.--Families of farmers
engaged in drying fruits are reminded
that the solar heat is not sufficiently in
tense to destroy insect eggs that may
have been deposited in the fruit when
green, or in the process OF drying. If
put in moderately warm oven for ten
minutes all parasites and their eggs
would be destroyed. In countries where
fruits are extensively dried the treat
ment is practiced generally.
GREEN TOMATO SAUCE.--To two gal
Ions of peeled and sliced tomatoes put
five tablespoons of mustard, three gills
of mustard seed, two and half even
tablespoons of black pepper, two of all
spice, two of cloves, one gill of salt, one
quart of chopped onions, two quarts of
brown sugar, five pints of vinegar. Beat
the spice, and boil all well together to
the consistency of marmalade. Be care
full not to let it burn or dlscolor.
PEACH Ice E-CREAM.-One quart of
rich milk and as much sweet cream;
four cups of sugar, six eggs, one quart
of very ripe peaches, pared and cut
small. Make as in directions for self
freezing ice-cream, but stir in the
peaches just before closing the freezer
for the second time, beating them well
into the congealing cream. Unless they
are very sweet, you would do well to
dredge them in sugar before they 60 in.
FRUIT PEA simple thing to speak
of, but if all ladies have their pies ''run
out" as l have, they will not think
remedy so simple after all. For rasp-
berry, blackberry, juicy green apple,
etc., spread the under crust with butter,
then sprinkle thickly with sugar, then
flour; put the flour under the berries,
then sprinkle with sugar again, and bake
slowly. BY this means one can have
the goodness of the pie IN the pie,
instead of the oven.
DAMsoN PREsERvE.-T four pounds
of damsons put three pounds of sugar;
prick each damson with a needle;
dissolve the sugar with a half pint of
water, and put on the fire. When it
SINNERS, put in as many damsons as
will lie on top of it; when they open
take them out and lay them on a dish,
and put others in, and so on until all
have been in; then put them all in the
kettle together, and let them stew until
done. Put them in jars, and seal them.
PRESERVED CITRoN.-Cut the citron
in thin slices, pare off the outside rind
and take out all the seeds, put in the
preserve kettle with Interchangeable cover
it; boil till it can be pierced easily with
a fork, skim it out and strain the water,
placing it back in the kettle allow three
quarters of pound of sugar to q pound
of citron; dissolve the sugar in the
liquor; cut three or four lemons into it
and let it boil till it is as thick as re-
quired, then put in the citron and boil;
when it is transparent, then it is done;
if boiled too long the citron will be
tough.
The New York Times says bone
spawn consists of inflammation of the
membrane covering the bones of the
1t may result from constitutional causes;
from weakness of the bone caused by
Over-feeding upon corn, which is too
rich in starch and deficient in the phos-
pilates which 90 to build up the bony
frame; from hard work, or from bad
shoeing, which throws the foot out of
balance and induces strains of the joints
of the leg. Spavins are very common
because these causes are common. The
SPAWN may be checked best by the ap-
plication of cold water, by which the in
is reduced, and then by
stimulating liniments, which produce
absorption of the products of the in
fammation. A SPAWN ends by the
formation of a bony growth about the
parts affected, and when this is COM
pleted the joint becomes cemented to-
gether and remains stiff, but the tender
ness and pain are lost. Cure of an old
SPAWN is, therefore, out of the question.
After the cold applications have been
tried without result, blistering, firing,
and setons under the skin over the part
are usually resorted to.
