HONE, FARM AND GARDEN.

T.
EIGHT HUNDRED varieties of pears
and nearly one hundred kinds of native
grapes are said to be under cultivation
in America.
Poisonous V1NEs.-1f poisoned by
vines, make paste of sulphur or gun
powder and milk. Apply night and
morning until cured.
SPRINGHALT is one OF the ailments of
the horse, for which no cure is known.
Ordinary usage is not likely to injure
the horse, and will not make the case
any worse.
To CLEAN PA1Nr.--Mix common
whiting to the consistency Of common
paste in warm water; rub the surface
to be cleaned quite briskly with piece
OF flannel dipped in the whiting, and
wash off with pure cold water.
BUcKwHEAT.- 1t is said that while
most other plants require a careful
preparation of the soil to insure their
growth, buckwheat not only prepares
the soil for itself, but for other crops,
by pulverizing it if it is hard or tough.
COFFEE CAKES. One cup butter,
one-half cup sugar, one cup molasses,
one teaspoonful saleratus dissolved in
cup OF strong coffee, one nutmeg, one
teaspoonful cloves. one cinnamon, five
cups Of flour and one cup of raisins,
chopped.

SIZE OF an egg, and a little salt. One
pint sweet milk, one cup yeast, two
quarts -four. Let it rise all night. If

dissolved in milk, and bake in muffin
rings.
ACIDS IN VEGErABLEs.-Vegetables
are said to yield nine separate acids
Ihe oxalic in rhubarb, the tartaric in
tamarinds, grapes and mulberries, the
cltrlc in oranges and lemons, the malic
in apples and cherries, the gallo in elm
and oak, the benzoic in bafsamic trees,
the prussic in laurel leaves, peach bios
SONS and bitter kernels, and the phos-
pholic in oats and barley.
The ounce can be just as successful
~ grown as the peach, if a little care is
taken to head off its principal enemy,
the worm at the root, which requires
but little time and trouble each spring
and fall in removing the earth from
around the stem of the tree. Probe for
the grub in his hole in the bark with q
stiff wire, and fill up around the tree
with wood ashes, or slaked lime.
DELICATE PUDDING Beat four eggs
with tablespoonful of sifted wheat
flour. Boil quart of milk with a little
stick cinnamon and some candied lem

strain through flannel bag, and add
to every pint OF juice a pound Of lump
sugar boil rapidly for ten or fifteen
minutes, Swimming the syrup put in
glasses while hot, but do notclose them
till the jelly is perfectly cold.
A WRITER in the New York Herald
says, on the question of trimming toma-
to vines to promote early ripening, that
if the season is hot and dry and the soil
not very rich, you will scarcely hasten
their maturing, while you will material
~ diminish their product, by trimming;
but if the soil is rich and the season wet
and cool, it will check their tendency
to run to vine and hasten their ripen-
ing by trimming pretty freely.
Ice CREAM. -Four quarts of new
milk, one and half pounds of white
sugar, one dozen eggs, well beaten; stir
this together place it in thin dish and
put it in kettle of boiling water when
the water boils briskly around the dish
stir into the cream one tablespoonful of
corn starch, previously dissolved in
little cold milk. and then take the dish
out of the hot water and put it in a cool
place; when it is only blood warm
flavor it to suit the taste and then
freeze.
TO RELIEVE A CHoKED Cow.-When
a COW is choked with potato or piece
of root in the throat, and it cannot be
reached or caught by two fingers of the
hand inserted in the throat, the best
means of relief is either to crush the
obstacle by placing block of wood on
one side of the throat against it, and
striking sharp blow on the other side
with wooden mallet. This will smash
the potato, apple. or root, and the COW
can then swallow it. A safer method is
to open the gullet over the obstacle on
the Under part of the throat with long
cut, not across, but up and down, and
made with a sharp knife; then remove
the obstacle, either whole or by cutting
itup. Close the outlet first by two or
three surgeons stitches, each one tied
separately, and leaving long ends; then
stitch the skin in the same way, leaving
the ends of the first stitches hanging
from the wound in the skin.
