HONE, FARM AND GARDEN.

NAFFLES.-Onc quart OF MIX, three
eggs, two teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, one tablespoonful each of butter
and sugar, and flour enough to make
rather a stiff batter. Bake in waffle
irons.
LAND in grass should be protected
the first year from the merciless tramp
ing of stock. In wet weather the grass
is much injured. both from the tramping
and close grazing.
ArpLE-BATrER PUDDrNG.-Six APP
pies, half pound sugar, three eggs, one
quart of milk, flour enough to make a
batter. Pare and core the apples. and
stew them till soft. Strain through a
colander and sweeten. Make stiff
batter of the flour, eggs and milk; add
the apples. Bake in buttered pud-
ding dish in a hot oven. Serve with
sweet sauce.
MINCE PIES WITH MEAT. - Two
pounds of fresh roast beef chopped fine;
four pounds of chopped greening APP
piles; two pounds of chopped raisins,
one pound not cut, one pound of finely
chopped suet, one pound of sugar.
quart Of sweet pickle with juice; pint
of maple strip boiled with one quart of
cider down to half; tablespoonful of
cinnamon. dessert-spOonful powdered
cloves and grated nutmeg; salt.
GOLD BALLOONS FOR DEsERr.-Take
one ounce of sweet almonds. blanched
and pounded smooth, three tablespoon
fuls peach marmalade, or any other
kind of jam. two ounces of fine bread
crumbs and two well-beaten eggs. Beat
well together, then add one ounce of
of butter melted to the consistency of
cream. Halffill some buttered cups with
the mixture and bake twenty minutes
in a slow oven.
To TAKE bruises out of furniture wet
the part with warm water; double a
piece of brown paper five or six times,
soak it in warm water, and lay it on the
place; apply on that a warm. but not
not, flat-iron, till the moisture is evap-
GRATED. If the bruise be not gone, re-
peat the process. After two or three
applications the dent or bruise will be
raised to the surface. If the bruise be
small. merely soak it with warm water
and hold a red-hOt iron near the sur
face, keeping the surface continually
wet-the bruise will soon disappear.
CHILDREN's PUDDING up loaf
of stale bread the day before it is re-
quired and put to soak in pan of cold
wafer. When going to mix, squeeze
the water out through Il colander, put
the bread in pan with two ounces of
suet chopped fine, two tablespoonful
of flour, some grated ginger, little
mixed spice, beat well up with a fork,
mix half a pound of molasses with a
little warm milk, then stir all together
and boil three hours in cloth, basin or
mold. This will make a large pudding
much liked by children.
A HINT TO HORsEMEN.-The man
who has been exposed to heat and IA
tigue, and is suffering from thirst, dares
not indulge freely in the use of cold
water. He calls for tea or coffee, the
hotter the better, and is soon refreshed.
But the poor horse, reeking at every
pore, cannot call for drink. The cara
full owner wisely withholds the cooling
draught till the animal has had time to
cool. A livery man, who has had u
long and successful experience, finds it
wise to treat his horses as he would
himself be treated, not with a cup of
tea. but with copious draughts of warm
water. This allays thirst with no posi-
BILE danger, since it is not the water
that harms the horse, but the violent
change. caused by the sudden lowering
of temperature by swallowing cold
water.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York |
World says: IL have recently learned
what appears to me to be the true
method OF coloring and stripping rag
carpet before it goes to the weavers; q
method which insures against the ne
cessity of adding every few days more
rags to make up the right amount. The
rule for twenty-five yards is, one pound
of cotton rags for one thread on each |
side of the sfrine Two nnnndS will
