Farm AND HOUSEHOLD.

Keep the Stables Clean. Clear out
the manure every morning, and scrape
or card off all filth from the animals.
The stable should be made so warm,
that the manure will not freeze at night;
a lower temperature will either demand
larger amount of food, or the animals
will fall off in condition.
To Wash Flannels. Snake suds
with hot water Gust strong enough to
remove the dirt) rub with your hands,
and when clean wiring dry and shake;
make another suds quite hot, wash
through this and shake as before; scald
with water just off the boil; let them re-
main until the water is quite cold before
hanging out in cold weather.
-Pudding.-An excellent apple pud-
ding can be made from the remains of
rice pudding. Arrange we'll sweetened
and Favored apple sauce in alternate
layers with cold rice pudding; add a
little butter and sugar, sift sugar over
the top, and put in the oven to heat
through and brown on the top. Any
sort OF flavoring may be used for this
pudding.
Economy in feeding is very i'm
portant consideration. In some cases
half the feed used Is wasted. Cutting
the fodder has proved saving of one
third to one-half. Where but ten head
of stock are fed, if the feed of one
third or one-half can be saved, it is
simply large increase of the resources
OF the farm, and is sufficient to pay the
cost of a good cutter and the time ex-
pended in cutting.
Keep q record of the events of each
days work, and farm life. One of the
boys or girls should do this. A book
will be needed, ruled with plain lines,
on which to make the entries; put down
the condition of the weather, the work
done, and by whom; purchases and
sales made, indeed, anything that may
be needed for the future reference, or
that should be entered in the account
book, which will thus become a valua-
BILE and interesting record of the farm.
Russia Cream. eggs, one
cupful of sugar, one quart of milk, one
half box of gelatine, dissolved in one
half pint of warm water. Beat the
yelks of the eggs and sugar together,
and cook with the milk like custard.
Take this off the stove and add the we'll
beaten whites of the eggs, stirring rap
idly for a few moments. Now add the
gelatine and then teaspoonful of va
nilla. Pour it into pretty-shaped dish
to harden, and turn it out on a platter
and cut off in blocks, as ice cream.
Make this the day before you use it.
Plum Pudding.-Ten pounds OF
plums stoned, ten pounds of currents,
four pounds of sultanas, washed and
dried; ten pounds of coarse brown
sugar, ten pounds of fresh beef suet,
two pounds of mixed peel, cut thin; ten
pounds of very fine bread crumbs, one
second packet of mixed spices, two nut.
megs, grated; twenty-seven new laid
eggs, enough flour to prevent the suet
from caking when chopped. Add the
ingredients one at time and stir till
they are thoroughly mixed. Butter q
number of basins, fill with the mixture,
tie cloth over and boil in the usual
way.
Watering Stock. supply OF
water in winter is source of trouble.
Ice gathers about the troughs and other
drinking places; pipes freeze and burst,
or become choked, and many other in.
conveniences occur. These may be
avoided by methodical management
Have regular watering periods, twice q
day. Fill the troughs twice a day
Fill the troughs from the pumps or els
terms, and drive the cattle to them and
see that they drink. When all are sup,
piled, empty the troughs, and either
cover them or turn them over. Have
no flowing water in the yards to waste
and freeze, or become ice-cold fol
drinking. A cold drink will reduce the
milk from the COWS ten per cent. ol
more.
