Every owner Of q farm should en-

best adapted to, snd then pursue II
with all his might, i! he would MAKE

Sausage Rolls. Roll out the paste
very thin; cut into small squares:
upon each square put tablespoonful
of sausage meat; dredge over this a
very little -four, and meet the corners
of the paste on top, pinching them
together. Glaze each with white OF
egg and bake in a quick oven till
brown. A very nice breakfast dish,
to be eaten hot.
Bread OmeLet.-Take the grated
crumbs of 8 small loaf of bakers

much cream as will moisten it sufi
GENTLY to make il a smooth paste,

and wash six white turnips; cut them
in dice half an inch square, laying
them in cold water as they are cut
meantime heat pint of any kind Of
cold gravy; when all the turnips are
cut put them into the gravy with g
teaspoonful Of sugar and sufficient
pepper and sal: to make them palat-
able; stew them gently till tender, for
about an hour, and serve them hot in
the gravy.
Preserving TTm6er.-Evaporate the
juices and moisture-i. e., thoroughly
season it-snd then protect it from
outside moisture. The method most
commonly employed for preserving
timber from decay that is exposed to
the action of water is the application
of as much creosote as the pores will
take up. When a small quantity
only is to be treated the creosote can
be applied with an ordinary brush;
on q large scale extensive appliances
are required. Posts subjected to the
action of water are vsriously treated.
Sometimes the ends to be placed in
the ground are dipped in gas tar;
sometimes they are permeated with
coal oil. A mixture of forty parts
chalk, fifty parts rosin and four parts
linseed oil, melted and thoroughly
incorporated, with one part sulphuric
acid added, is recommended for this
purpose by German scientists.
Nothing gives so dismal and inhos-
pltaDle an appearance to a. sitting

be Kept from fading by using @ piece
of Turkish toweling the required
length. Put scallops of flannel on
the edge. border or centerpiece; or
simply vine worked in some bright
color across the ends makes
pretty addition to it. Tides that are
very serviceable may be made OF
brown linen with an applique stripe
OF cretonne flowers or scroll. The
easiest and most sAtisfacto way to
prepare cretonne for transferring is
to Fret work the figure which is to be
cut out with the buttonhole stitch,
and then cut around that. When it
is placed upon broadcloth or any
material which does notrequire wash
ing, sew it with long stitches on the
wrong size. but when transferring to
the linen sew it firmly, so that it will
keep its place when washed. The
tides may be finished prettily across
the ends; turn down a hem on the
sides and feather stitch with Worsted
or working cotton.
