HOME AND FARM.

REMEDY FOR FELoN.-hake weak
lye and bathe the affected parts. Then
take soft soap and table salt and spirits
of turpentine, and work them together
with a knife till you have poultice.
Now bind il on the affected part.
JELLY CAKE Three we'll beaten
eggs, two-thirds cup of sugar, butter
one-half the size of an egg, two table
spoonfuls of cold water, one cup of
flour, one small teaspoonful of soda,
This will make three layers.
COTTAGE PUDDING.-Two cups flour,
one scant cup of sweet milk, one egg,
one tablespoonful of melted butter, one
tablespoonful of white sugar Zone cup
of raisins makes it better), one tea
spoonful of cream-tartar, one-half tea
spoonful of soda. Steam one hour
Cream sauce.
To CURE A HORSE FROM INTERFER-
ING.-Pare the outside of the foot much
inside little. Make cork of heel outside
short and sharp, so as to go into the
ground easy; inner heel-cork big, so as
to hold up that side of foot. This will
careen the ankle over little, which
puts it out of the way of the toe of the
other foot that does the striking. Try it.
1t is perfect. Both feet are to be shod
this way. Take off all the inner side of
toe you dare.
How TO RAISE CABBAGE-PLANTs.- -
Make bed the same as for onions, and
mark it off in rows wide enough for
hoe to work easily between the rows.
Then SOW the seed and put hen manure
along between the rows, being careful
not to let it touch the seed row, for if it
does the seed will not grow, and it will
also kill the plants if it touches them.
But it will keep off all insects, and the
plants will grow very thriftily. If you
hoe them, put some more on. The hen
manure should be loose and fins
LEMON PIE.-Cut the pulp of one
lemon into one-half pint Of cold water,
and let it stand. Crate just a little of
the yellow rind into plate first, and
put little nutmeg to it. In another
dish take two eggs, saving out the white
Of one for frosting, one cup of white
sugar, two-thirds Tor the pie, one-third
for the frosting, one heaping teaspoon
ful of flour; strain the pulp and water
through cloth into a plate, then add
all together, bake carefully, frost the
top, brown in the oven if liked, or white
if liked so best. Follow the directions
and it is nice.
How TO GIFT RID OF LARGE STONES.
Largo powders may be buried out of
sight by digging at one side of them
deep enough, and topping them into
the holes and covering them. If the
stone is valuable for building, drill holes
with a steel drill an inch in diameter, ,one
foot or eighteen inches deep, put in two
to three inches of blasting powder, and
fuse enough to project twelve inches
from the hole, tamp with sand and fire
the fuse. Judgment should be used to
use powder in proportion to the size of
the stone, the object sought being to
break the rock into three or four frag-
ments, that may afterward be reduced
to useful proportions with sledge-ham-
mer.
To KILL LICE.-Col. Curtis writes
the n. Y. 1Ti6une as follows: owe
have tried all sorts of mixtures to kill
lice on animals and at last have hit on
what we think is best Melt hogs lard,
or any hot grease, and in it dissolve salt
one-third of the bulk of the grease take
smear the animal all over and into the
mixture pour kerosene oil and stir it up.
Two gills of the kerosene would be suf-
ficient for a COW of ordinary size. One
application completely cured the most
stubborn case of lice on an old hog. 1t
leaves the skin smooth and clean, re-
moving the scurf and healing the irrita-
ton caused by the parasites. 1t is also
excellent for gals and sores"
MANURIAL VALUE OF BURNED
STRAw.-Speaking to a friend about
burning straw on land for manurial
purposes, writes a New York Times cor
respondent, he told me this: Four
years ago he hauled out lot Of wheat
straw, and spread it of uniform depth
of some fifteen inches over some five
acres. He then set it afire, and imme-
diately on its being consumed turned
the surface under with the plow. To
the very border of this space he drew
and spread his stable and barnyard
manure. The benefit to the following
crop of wheat was greatly to the advan-
tage of that portion of the field where
the straw had been burned, and such
was the case likewise in regard to the
ensuing crop vi COIu' nc duuS IuIlneIs
that to this day it is easy to note the
increased fertility Of this part of the
field as contrasted with other portions
of it. The land is reddish clay.
How TO TREAT TAINTED MEAT.-A
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
says: Take piece of charcoal the size
Of a small hens egg, tie up in cloth
and place in the vessel where you cook
your tainted pork. Let it remain dur
lug the time of cooking; do not keep it
covered with close-ftting lid. This
method will take every particle of taint
from beef, mutton, etc. but it is impos-
sible to eradicate all the taint from pork.
Pork should remain in bulk from three
to six weeks. owing to the weather, as it
will absorb salt faster in warm, rainy
weather than when extremely cold and
dry. When hung, smoke only on damp,
rainy days, unless you have a tight
smoke-house. When done smoking
make paste of finely ground black
pepper and lard. Spread over the flesh
side of the hams and shoulders and lay
them in a box, with the skin side down,
until you have covered the bottom; then
fill in between with dry salt, and so on,
