FARM AND FIRBsIDR.
The best meat requires the simplest
preparation.
Egg sauce. Chop up two hard
boiled eggs and stir into drawn butter.
Butter properly worked presents a
grain which over-wOrking destroys,
giving II a greasy or salvy appearance.
The latter has dull look instead Of a
bright, sparkling appearance when the
knife is drawn through it.
Nice little sugar cakes.-Six cups
Of flour, three cupfuls Of sugar, three
quarters Of pound of butter, and any
hayoring you like. Nutmeg and Gin
namOn are commonly used. Roll out
thin, sprinkle with sugar, and bake
quickly.
Parents should teach their chill
dren to gargle their throats, for it may
be the saving Of their lives. II is easier
to learn them this somewhat difficult
and awkward feat while in health than
to attempt it when they are prostrated
by disease.
Oyster sauee.-Set a basin on the
fire with half pint of oysters and one
pint of boiling water. Let them boil
three minutes and then stir in half a
cup of butter beaten TO a cream, with
two tablespoonfuls of flour, let this
come to a boil, and serve.
Rock Cdkes.-One pound of flour,
half pound of sugar, half pound Of
butter, half pound Of currants OF cher
ries, four eggs, leaving out two of the
whites. A small quantity of candied
| lemon peel improves the flavor greatly.
Cut the cakes into shapes with little tin
cutters, and bake in a steadily-heated
| oven.
Hot Buttered Loaf.--One quart of
| flour, gill of yeast, two eggs, one
tablespoonful of butter creamed, max
ing it softer than light bread dough,
ightened in the shape you bake it in,
which is usually round tin. Make it
up after breakfast for tea. IL is delight
full for handed supper whom cut into
slices little less than an inch thick,
! Just as soon as it is drawn from the
oven, and buttered generously. The
slices should be heaped one upon an
other as fast as buttered, so that the
loaf may retain its shape.
I think stone jugs are preferable to
glass or tin for preserving tomatoes in.
Although they cost more in the first
place than glass, they will last life
time with any reasonable usage. Ipre-
fer those holding two quarts or gal
lon. With us, tomatoes are used as
freely as potatoes, and have frequent
| ly done up thirty or thirty-fve gallons
in a season. The tomatoes are cooked

which are first rinsed in hot water. Sc

DIR. Colyer, chemist of the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington, is
reported as saying: "The corn crop Of
Indiana is worth annually about $751;
100000. Ii one-tenth of the ground
upon which this is raised was devoted
to sorghum of the variety best suited to
that latitude, sugar could be raised
equal in amount to our whole importa-
tiOn, which is, with duty added, about
Sl09, 900, 000,h and this would only
equal about fifty per cent. of his exper-
iments. He further says that if Con
gress would give him ten acres on
which to experiment next season, he
would return twenty tons of raw sor.
ghum sugar equal to the best raw cane
sugar, or forfeit his reputation.
Telephone Pudding.-Line balz
ing dish with sponge-eake favored Will
| lemon or bitter almonds. Prepare mex
rich custard from three pints of un
skinned fresh milk, nine yelks of eggs
