Roses need very rich soil to bring
them to perfection, thriving best in 3
mixture OF well-r0tted manure, sand
and garden loan. and to stint them OF
nourishment is indeed poor economy.

Salt Pork aud Apples. Cut half =

ly until brown in a deep frying pan,
and take them up on hot dish. Mean

Harmless Face Powders. Rice
powder, though expensive, is warrant
ed perfectly harmless. Refined chalk
is the safest thing to use, and costs far
less than if put up under some other
name and sold in boxes. Cascarilla
powder is much used by Cuban ladies,
and is considered harmless. Wash the
face with thick suds from glycerine
soap, and, when dry, dust on the pow
der with puff or piece of chamois skin.
Il had at one time q calf and several
sheep with broken legs. Every one
was repaired in this manner: Strips Of
bagging were wound about the limb,
plastered over with calcined plaster
mixed to thin paste, and other strips
wound over that and more plaster ap-
piled; the leg was fastened to splints
of wood until the plaster set. The ami
NAL would limp about for q few days
on three legs, but all recovered without
blemish. Rural Ne,o Yorker.
Corn Flour Pudding. -" One table,
spoonful of corn flour, one pint of milk,
an ounce and half of sugar, little
grated nutmeg, and two eggs. You
mix the corn-hour with q tablespoonful
of cold milk, put the rest of the milk TO
boil, and directly it comes to the boil
take the saucepan off the fire and put in
the rest of the cold ingredients, viz,
the mixed corn-four, the sugar, aud the
yelks of the eggs. Put the whites of
the eggs on another plate, and beat
them up with q little salt till thew are
very stiff froth. You have meantime
creased a pie-dish. When the whites
are stiff enough You mix them with the
cOrn-dour, etc., in the basin, and then
put the whole mixture into the creased
pie-dish, CRATE little nutmeg over the
pudding, and bake it for about twenty
minutes"
Bloody Wart. If the wart be large
or so situated that strangling it off with
q stout string cannot be readily done,
secure the colt in recumbent position,
and remove with knife. Considera-
BILE bleeding often succeeds snch re-
moval; but it may be stopped by ap-
plying hot iron to the end of the blood
vessels. When bleeding has ceased, ap-
ply by means of wooden stick, shaped
like small knife blade, dipped into a
bottle of muriatic- acid, small portion
at tine. The raw surface should be
touched all over, but care must be taken
not to touch the surrounding healthy
skin; wherefore it is best to anoint the
same with some lard. After the appli-
cation of the acid, which should consist
in merely moistening the raw surface,
the animal should be tied 50 as to pre-
vent it from interfering with the teeth.
No bandaging is necessary. Repeat
the application after three or four days.
with the same precautions as before.
and subsequently once weekly until the
surface assumes a healthy aspect, by
degrees yet smaller, and finally heals
