USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.


-Buns.-A cupful each of milk
sugar and yeast, and -four to make .
batter. Let it rise over night. then

cupful OF sugar. and -four to knead,

again. .~<s's ta# .f..
To keep bread moist, keep large
earthen jar-a cover OF the same ma
terial is better than a wooden one-and
have it we'll aired and fresh; let the
bread be we'll cooled after it is taken
from the oven, and then place in the
jar and cover closely. It will keep
moist and fresh long time. sf
A good way to keep the earth moist
in hanging basket without the trouble
of taking it down, is to ill q bottle with
water and put in two pieces of yarn,
leaving one end outside on the earth.
Suspend the bottle just above the bas-
ket and allow the water to drip; this
will keep the earth moist enough for
winter and save a great deal of time and
labor.
China and Glass Cement. one
pint of milk add one pint of vinegar;
separate the curds from the whey and
mix the whey with the whites of five
eggs; beat it well together, sitting into
it sufficient quantity of quicklime to
convert it into thick paste. Broken
china or glass mended with this cement
will not again separate and will resist
the action of fire and water. Ha-
French Cakes.-Two cups of sugar,
one cup of butter, one cup of milk,
three cups of flour, three eggs, one tea
spoonful soda, two teaspoonfuls cream
tartar, one cup chopped raisins. Beat
butter and sugar to a cream; add the
eggs well-beaten; dissolve the soda in
the milk, and mix the cream tartar with
the flour; add raisins and spice to taste;
bake in rather a quick oven. aa
in packing eggs away in lime, the
lime may be prepared in any conyen-
lent way, but it should be at least as
thick as whitewash that is used for
walls; that is, as white as milk, and
somewhat thicker. This is called cream
of lime, and not lime water. The fresh
er the eggs the better they are kept.
One bad egg will spoil awhole package,
SO that care should be taken to have
only fresh ones. The lime will not eat
the shell, for the she'll is lime. Half
barrels, pals, jars or anything that will
hold water, will serve to hold the eggs.
Any kind of lime will do. :rsr. II
Periodical Opthalmia, or Moon
Blindness. This disease, to which
horses are subject, is caused by con-
stitutional disposition, or by the pun
gent vapors which fill the air of un-
clean stables. 1t appears as blush
cloud in the center of the eve, the cor
nea, which gradually thickens. and an
increasing inflammation of the whole Or
gan until the horse is unable to see,
when the Inflammation is resolved into q
free discharge, the film disappears, and
temporary relief is obtained for three or
four weeks more. Each attack is worse
than the preceding one, until a cataract
is formed and permanent blindness &C.
ours. The treatment is to remove the
causes, to avoid any irritating circum-
stances. to give full dose of salts,
twelve to sixteen ounces, 1.-TWO ounce
doses are useless,) and when the fever
is relieved to maintain good health by
the best of feeding, not using much
corn, but more bran and linseed, and
by strengthening the eyes by cold bath
ing and the occasional use of lotion Of
one grain of sulphate of zinc in one
ounce of rain-water, little of which
should be put into the eyes.-M Y.
