A WRITER in the Farmers ReUiesU
gives the following remedy as sure
preventive against the ravages of the
cabbage worm: Place the suds used in
washing in sunshine until soured. When
the worms appear sprinkle the plants
three or four sprinklings. This has
proved IA success. Several persons have
tried this simple remedy and raised the
best cabbage they ever raised, and con-
slider it success.
TOMATOES AU GRATIN the
tomatoes in hot water, and peel them;
cut them in half; rub a baking tin with
garlic, butter it, lay the tomatoes in it
side by side, and fill each half with the
following compositions: Two parts of
breadcrumbs, one part mushrooms fine
ly minced, little parsley chopped fine;
pepper and salt to taste; put small
piece of butter on each. Bake for ten
or fifteen minutes and serve.
THE peach borer, if looked after in
spring and fall, is not a serious enemy.
If the lower part of the trunk is pro-
tected with paper or mound of earth,
extending a foot up the trunk, it is safe.
If left to itself the worm is liable to kill
the tree in northern ATTITUDES, though
south of Ohio the growth is so vigorous
that the long season allows it to grow
faster than the worm can eat it, though
they often weaken the trunks until the
tree is easily blown down.
RHUBARB JELLY.--Take some rhu-
barb, wipe it with a clean wet cloth,
peel it, and cut it into pieces an inch
long. To each pound of rhubarb add
three-fourths of pound of white sugar.
Put it to boil for about ten minutes. or
until the juice is well drawn. Strain it
into preserving pan, let it boil quick
ly until it clings to the spoon, skim it
and put it into jam pots or molds. The
quickest way to know if it will set is to
drop little on plate to cool.
LAMB CHoPs.-Trim off the flap from
. q fine loin of lamb, and cut into chops
about thre9-quarters of an inch in
thickness. Have ready bright, clear
fire; lay the chops on gridiron and
broil them nice pale brown, turning
them when required. Season them with
pepper and salt; serve very hot and
quickly, and garnish with crisped pars-
ley, or place them on mashed potatoes.
Asparagus, spinach or peas are the
favorite accompaniment to lamb chops.
WIsP BROOM HoLDER.-To make a
pretty wisp broom holder, cut two paste
board hearts, ten inches long, eight
across the top; cut two wedge-shaped
pieces three inches long and one at the
top, for the sides. Cover with black
lady's cloth. and line with blue flannel.
After joining together, work around the
edges with gold-colored silk in button
hole stitch. On the front work with
gold-coiored silk some pretty pattern
in chain stitch; in the center work your
monogram. Hang up with blue cord
and tassels.
To REMOVE INK FROM CARPETS.
which has been spilled on carpets or
wooden goods should be attended to
while wet, if possible. Take clean blot
ting paper or cotton batting and gently
sop up all the ink that has not soaked
in. Then pour sweet milk on the ink
spot and sponge it with fresh batting.

times, using fresh milk and batting
each time. Do not rub the spot, but
sop it with care in order not to spread
the ink. After the ink has disappeared,
wash the spot with clean water and dry

BAKED HAM.-As ham for baking
should be well soaked, let it remain in
water for at least twelve hours, wipe it
dry, trim away any rusty places under
meath, and cover it with common
crust, taking care that this is of suffi-
cient thickness all over to keep the
gravy in; place in moderately-heated
oven and bake for nearly four hours;
take off the crust and skin, and cover
