there is nothing like having good
quantity OF bedding for all animals. It
makes their repose more comfortable
ana serves an excellent purpose of alb
sorDlng the liquid e1crements.
BREAD PUDDING.-Soak the bread,
CRUMBS IN sweet milk until they will
masn hne; add two eggs, cup of rais-
ms, one cup sugar, and flavor to taste !:
Dake 10 quick oven. Serve with sweet
ened cream.
Save all the ashes that ara made
upon the farm-even coal ashes are
useiul as an absorbent and divisor of
the son-but by all means save all the
wood ashes for their supply of potash,
tility.
Laying hens need great deal of
lime, in order that their eggs may have
the proper thickness of shell. Nothing
better can be given than raw bones
crushed fine. They are of special value
on account of the fatty matter contained
in their cells.
Wash for Messy Trees: Heat an
ounce of sal soda to redness in an iron
pot, and dissolve it in one gallon of
water, and while warm apply It to the
trunk. After one application the moss
and old bark viii drop off and the
trunk will be quite smooth.
Moderately fat animals are the most
profitable. Every fat animal has been
fed at loss during the latter part of its
feeding. When an animal is ready for
market sell it; if there is feed left, buy
some more lean animals and feed them.
"The nimble sixpence" brings the
profit.
To Color Butter with Carrots: To
color five pounds of butter, CRATE off the
deepest colored portion of clean, good
sized carrot, pour over teacup of
warm water, let stand fifteen or twenty
minutes, then strain through a cloth
and add to the cream just before churn-
ing.
Apple Trife: Peel, core, and boil
till tender, dozen tart apples, with the
rind of lemon grated; strain through
sieve, add sugar to taste and put into
deep fruit-dish. Make a custard of q
pint OF cream and the yelks of two eggs
with little sugar. When cold lay it
over the apples with spoon and over
the whole place whipped cream.
For flesh-producing purposes sweet
corn is the best, but, for making good
bread meal, white flint corn is the best,
possessing more starch and fesh-pro-
ducing properties and less oil than the
yellow corn. The white corn is also
better for working animals, but for but
ter and fattening purposes the yellow
corn is the best.
utes, and the nearer mixer can come
to that time the better. A slow mixer
makes the cow impatient and often
causes her to hold up her milk. The
strippings are the richest part, and if a
COW is MIXED quietly, as well as quick
~, there will be more as well as richer
milk, because of the strippings.
This advice comes from an old lady
seventy three years old: "Ten your
readers to put one pint of salt and one
pint of soft soap cit ought to be farm
er's soap) to ten gallons of water and
use it on currants and gooseberries. I'll
warrant them full crop. Put plenty
of ashes, coal or wood, around the roots
to increase the size of the berries.
-Parsnip Fritters: Scrape and halve
the parsnips, boil tender in hot, sailed
water, mash smooth, picking out the,
woody bits; add beaten egg to every
four parsnips, a teaspoonfu1 of flour,
pepper and salt at your discretion, and
enough milk to make into thick bat
ter; drop by the spoonful into hot lard
and fry brown. Drain into hot colan-
der, and dish.
Sulphur, one ounce to a gallon of
water, and sprinkled or syringed over
grape vines Just at nightfall, will destroy
insects and mildew, and leave no bad
show afterward. When sifted as
powder it has an unpleasant and often
times injurious effect, although it is
acknowledged specific manure of
value, even when applied broadcast
upon the soil.
French poultry fanciers who make
q speciality of raising fowls for the
market are now feeding their poultry
with barley and steamed carrots. Their
rapid fattening qualities are something
wonderful, and it is said that the roots
also impart peculiar flavor to the
flesh that suits the taste of the French
epicure exactly. The long yellow car
rots are considered the best for this pur-
pose.
Angel Puddings: Two ounces Of
flour, two ounces of powdered sugar,
two ounces of butter melted in half 9
pint of new milk, two eggs; mix well.
Bake the above in small patty-pans TIM
til nicely Drowned. and send to table on
q dish covered with serviette. A little
powdered sugar should be shifted over
each pudding, and slices of lemon served
with them. The eggs must be well
beaten before they are added to the
other ingredients.
AN s'old turkey raiser," who has been
experimenting as to the effect OF char
coal upon turkeys, says he shut four
turkeys up in pen and fed them on
meal, boiled potatoes and oats, while
four others from the same brood were
given the same food, except that a pint
Of finely powdered charcoal was mixed
with it every day, and liberal supply
of it was placed in the pen. The eight
were killed the same day. but those
