--Stagnant and impure water which
cows drink while at pasture is one of
the most prominent causes of bad odors
in milk.
Give your hogs q rubbing-post in
some accessible part of their enclosure;
it facilitates their keeping clean, and
seems to afford them much satisfaction.
For common ringbone in cattle, DIR.

iodine, or with solution of corrosive

oil cloths can be kept like new If
washed once n month in. skim milk and
water, equal quantities of each. Rub
them once in three months with lin
seed oil; put on very little, rub it in
well, and polish with an old silk cloth,
and they will keep for years.
-Maccaroons. ns.-The whites of three
eggs beaten to stiff froth, half pound
of cocoanut, half pound of rolled and
sifted crackers, and an even teaspoon
full of extract of bitter almond. Drop
them upon a creased paper, in a drip
ping pan, and bake a light brown.
Pulled Chickens. Remove the skin
carefully from a cold chicken, then pull
the flesh from the bones, preserving as
whole as possible; flour well, fry a nice
brown in butter; draw and stew in
good gravy, seasoned; thicken before
serving with flour and butter, add juice
of half lemon.
Picked Oysters. s.-Place the oys-
ters in q saucepan, let them simmer in
n lir,1Ar. 60,
very gently. Take them out one by
one, place them in a jar, cover them
and when cold add pickle made as
follows: Measure the oyster liquor,
add to it the same quantity of vinegar,
one blade of pounded mace, one strip
of lemon peel and cloves and boil five
minutes. When cold pour over the oys-
ters and tie them down very closely.
Fancy horses in idleness, fancy
chickens kept for their fine ornament
to the farm, and fine stock for city
editors to visit and puff in their papers,
may do for men of plethoric purses.
But when the farm is to be run and
family supported from the profits of
the farm, different system has TO be
pursued. There are no easy seats and
rockaways in the corn or harvest fields.
1t is the application of the muscle, di-
rected with brains, which wins there.
"A Cheap Bedding. g.-There is no
bedding for stock equal to dry sand. In
most localities it may be had merely for |
the expense of hauling, and if farmers
would consider its value as an absorb !
ent they would not fail to lay in q sup
ply. 1t saves all the liquid manure by |
it. 1t is also disinfectant, |
and where dry earth is used in stables |
there will be no unpleasant odor. As |
a covering for the floors of poultry |
houses it has no equal, and where cat |
tie lie on dry earth they will always be
free from vermin.
-Buttermilk Bread.-A lady sends
to an exchange the following recipe for
bread, which she says is easy and quick:
Two quarts OF buttermilk, come to a
boil, poured over two quarts of flour,
stirring it rapidly, or it will be lumpy;
then add cold water until it is thin |
enough Gt should be as thin as it could |
be stirred); if it is not cool enough for
he yeast by this time, l set the pail |
which it is in, in the water pail, stir
ing it all the while, which soon cools
t. Then stir in the yeast, which is al
'eady soaked, and empty it all in the
Dread pan, where the -four is already
warmed, with hole in the middle. 1
hen cover it tight and set it where it
Will keep warm all night. | can do this
n twenty minutes-the quicker it is
lone the better the bread will be. l

lakes at baking and bakesix loaves at
