me in the spring, for she held it under my

An EXCELLENT DIsH.-A dish equal TO
the best steak and cheap enough for any
man is prepared from a shank of beef with
some meat on it. Have the bone well
broken; wash carefully to remove bits of
bone; cover with cold water; watch when
the boiling begins and take off the skum
that rises. Stew five or six hours, till the
muscles are dissolved; break the meat
small with a fork (far better than chop.
ping), put it in bread pan, boil down the
gravy till in cooling it will turn to stiff
jelly. Where this is done gelatine is quite
superfuous. Add salt, and, if liked, other
seasoning. and pour it hot upon the meat !;
stir together and set aside over night,
when it will cut into handsome notified
slices for breakfast or supper.

its centennial now and is still full of youth
and vigor. The first settlers of this town
being generous and far-sighted men
brought with them along with their free
Institutions, their schools, their churches
the hardy lilac. Being of Puritan birth
and of republican steadfastness, it took
root at once, and three generations have
rejoicel in its beauty and fragrance. Just
now it is scattering its blossoms and
bowling farewell with all its thousand
plumes. No little paltry flower beds sur
round it. Our single lawn of freshest
green relieves the eye and soothes all per-
picked and troubled thoughts; for how can
care, or doubt, or touch of grief be cher
ished in full view of an old lilac in full

fields? 1t suggests only peace, happiness
and the blessings Of continued line of
lwelerS in the same home. Long life to

We have just had our little lesson in the
loss of one of the best. if not the hes
heifer in the herd, and believe we have
learned one or two things from it, In the
first place our doctor gave us Il word o
advice. He said, q" he next article yor
write for the FREEMAN, tell the farmers
not to keep their meal in the barn where
the COWS are; they will get in sometimes
and dead COW will be the result.
Either that, or having the meal in thu
barn, have it in such condition of storage
that if the cows were turned in they coul
not get at it.
Another thing learned is the utter folly

A FODDER CRoP AFTER HAY.-Reader
Hungarian grass on good soil will make a

rapidly in the hot weather of July and
August. 1t will probably make quicker
crop than corn, but to plant early Canada
field corn or some of the larger of the
early kinds of sweet corn, as Moore's.
Concord, or Narragansett, would give a
heavier cropif an early frost should not
catch it. Had you given your address,

reasons, we could have given more spe-

your locality and the length of your corn
