Mrs 1. H. Nichols in the California Rural Pressl
There are few rules that 1 have rigidly
adhered to, which consider indispensable to
a tidy, economical and easy accomplishment
of everyday kitchen-work. First, when a
dish or vessel has been used, never set it away
without washing and drying, even if it is tin
the dryness is necessary to sweetness as well
as preservation from rust. To prove this,
wash and scald tin bucket and put on the
cover at once. In two or three hours, if it is
warm weather, open it and smell The econ
omy of this rule lies as much in their readi-
ness for use, as in the preservation Of vessels
SO cared for.
When went into my kitchen in the morn
ing, match lighted the ready-laid kindlings
and wood in the stove, which had been clear
ed of its ashes the night before. The table
had been set, the potatoes washed, the meat
cut, and whatever else was needed that could
be put at hand the night before. There was
only the bread to be cut and coffee ground.
When work-hands must have their breakfast
by break of day, this arrangement makes the
labor lighter and where the housekeeper is
in delicate health, insures her against the evil
consequences of fatigue on an empty stomach.
Young mothers will find cup Of coffee and
piece of bread great help in performing the
early morning duties In clearing up my ia
BILE after meals, invariably disposed of the
relics of the food by putting them in shape
for future use. The meat, baked or boiled,
was neatly trimmed, and transferred whole or
in slices to a clean plate or platter: the trim
mings and potatoes chopped for hash, or put
away in proper shape for a warmed-up dish
or meat pie. Nothing is more suggestive of
slatternliness and waste than cupboard or PAN
try shelves loaded with two or three days
dishes of meat-fried, baked, broiled and
boiled--with the spoons in them, as they
came from the table. To make dishwashing
pleasant and discourage fly visitations, keep
the dishes well washed up. Dirty dishes left
around invite flies, are unsightly, and use up
time and patience in the washing.

Some of the shops have all manner of bright
and beautiful Easter eggs, yet, if children
have not undergone a radical change, there is
not dainty shell of satin and paint that can
give them the genuine pleasure which a half
day in the kitchen with an old saucepan,
some bright scraps of stufs, common dyes
and basket of eggs affords. Hoping that
their kind and good-natured mammas may
consent, here are some receipts which involve
little of expense or trouble
Take some gay pieces of ribbon and sew
them tightly about the egg-violet is an ex-
cellent color-and boil them in water in
which alum has been dissolved, for half an
hour Caleoes that will fade are also excel
lent, leaving their designs on the egg by way
of decoration. Colored woods wound about
the eggs will make them very attractive. In
rainbow eggs woods can be wound about hap
hazard, and turn out very beautiful speci-
mems.
Or, having made strong deeoctions of log.
wood or eoehineal, boil the eggs, having pre-
viously washed them clean, for twenty min
utes. When they are dry, with penknife,
scissors or tape needle, decorate them. A
few irregular scratches will serve for roots
violets, snowdrops and primroses make pref.
ty and easy decorations, requiring to be
scarcely more than outlined. Leaves, ferns
and grasses are even prettier, as they follow
easily the curves of the egg.
The brown outer skins of onions make nice
coloring. Wrap and tie the egg in them and
they will come out like yellow marble. II
several dyes are sprinkled dry on the cotton
and tied about the egg and boiled they will
produce mottled eggs, often very pretty.
When the eggs are colored arrange them in
baskets or nests with fine shavings and straw.
An English custom is for each child to
choose an egg and roll them against one an
other on the floor. The egg that escapes
breaking is the victor, and is kept until the
next Easter.

RaIsInr CaIye. By Hand.

l"fOung Farmer" IN Boston Journal
l have been asked TO give again q descrip-
ton of my method Of raising calves by hand.
When have a calf that wish 10 raise 1 take
1t away from the COW at three days old, and
when its usual time for feeding comes around
I introduce it TO its mothers milk in a pail,
Offering but a small quantity at time, and if
il does not soon drink it, throwing it away as
soon as it gets cool and taking a new lot In
this way the calf, removed from the sight of
the COW, will soon take hold of the finger,
and as soon as il begins to suck upon the fin
ger, which should be wet in the warm milk,
It's nose may be gently carried TO the milk,
and il will soon suck as vigorously as if upon
the COW. Then the finger may be gradually
withdrawn until it learns to drink without
giving it the finger. 1t is not advisable to try
very hard 10 make il 60 without the finger at
the first lesson, though have had one drink
readily at the second feeding after its nose
had been put in the milk. After feeding a
few times with the new milk the feed may be
changed TO sweet skinned milk, but this
should be heated to temperature as near that
ofthe milk when first drawn as may be. 1 have
preferred to make this change gradually, giving
at first one-quarter skinned milk, then one

HoLLrHocKs. Within a few years the pop
ulRr taste has again brought to notice, not
the old-fashioned single hollyhock, which,
however, is worthy of place in any garden,
but the double German hollyhock, which, in
richness Of color, outvies the dahlis. In Bos-
ton and vicinity the florists find that a large
demand exists for them, and many introduced
of late years are Of rare color, ranging from
finest white to darkest purple. They can be
raised from seeds, but they require great at
tention, and it is cheaper to procure roots.
The hollyhook is a gross feeder, and seems
to thrive on rich manure placed within con-
yenient reach of the roots. Trench the
ground for them ? feet or p feet deep. Place
a good layer of manure at the bottom of the
trench, and another about inches or foot
deep. The roots will have searched every
particle Of this manure before the flowers
open, and the plants will thus be furnished
with sufficient stamina to bring them to high
state of perfection.

Rev. Henry Powers, pastor of the Unitarian
church, Manchester, in the course of a very
eloquent address delivered before the New
Hampshire Fish and Game League, speaking
of laws for the preservation of game, said
"Our people must somehow be made to be-
lieve that these laws are designed for the
common good; that their purpose is the
preservation of all kinds of game and its in
crease everywhere, so that everybody, and not
the few only, may share in its pursuit. The
legislation that tends to this result is good
but all rules and regulations that secure to
any person, or class of persons, special priv
ileges and exclusive benefits, are pernicious
and not to be tolerated"

asserts will prevent lamp-chimneys from

lamp-chimneys, tumblers, and like articles
more durable, but may be applied with ad-

1t was unfortunate for the high reputation
of this state for maple sweet, that the census
year had one of the poorest sugar seasons
known for a long time. Had the census been
taken this year instead of last, Vermont would
have reported more than twice as much. The
yield of maple sugar this spring will reach
higher figure than has ever appeared in any
