"A New York farmer, who is also
practical sheep grower, gives the fol-
lowing rs sure cure for grub in sheep:
Turn into each nostril of the animal
affected half teaspoonful of kerosene
oil.
Dry sulphur is given as remedy
for lice on cattle by one who says he
bnoUS it is effective. 1t should be
sprinkled all over the body and worked
into the hair.
The remnants of any pudding left
from one dinner may be served for the
next by arranging it into a compact
mass and covering il with meringue
of whipped whites of eggs and little
powdered sugar. Set into hot oven
just long enough to brown.
To prevent choking, break an egg
into cup and give 1t to the person
choking, to swallow. The white of the
egg seems to catch around the obstacle
and remove it. If one egg does not
answer the purpose, try another. The
white is all that is necessary.
To ascertain if water is hard or soft
procure a small quantity of soap dis
solved in alcohol, and let few drops
of it fall into a glass of water to be
tried; If the water becomes IN ky it is
hard, but if little or no milkincss results
the water may be said to be soft.
To make jelly-cake fritters ,ut some
stale sponge or other cake into rounds
with cake cutter. Frv these nice
brown in hot lard; dip each quickly
into a bowl OF boiling milk and Law upon
hot plate, spread thickly with jam or
preserves. Serve hot, with cream to
pour over them.
Quail Pie.-Quail, butter pepper
and salt. Cut the quail in pieces and
stew them about ten minutes, or till
tender Line your baking dish with a
nice paste; put in the birds; u little of
the water in which they were stewetl,
thickened with little flour; shake in
pepper and salt and bits OF butter;
cover with nice crust and bake a deli
cate brown.
Tomato Jelly.-Tear in pieces some
ripe tomatoes and stem them until
thoroughly cooked, with only sullic ent
water to keep them from burning; put
the pulp into q jelly-bag, and when the
juice has trickled through, put II pound
of sugar to each pint OF juice and boil
rapidly until it jellies. If the color is
not bright red, II few drops of cochrneal
will improve it. This jelly may be eat
EN- with roast meat.
"A timely suggestion, on its travels
without credit, is to the effect that be-
fore removing a threshing machine to
another farm it should lie run empty
from five to ten minutes at a high rate
of speed in order to throw out any seeds
of cheat, cookie, etc. aud to discharge
particles of smut that may have ad-
hered to it In this way the germs of
weeds or fungi will lie left where raised
and not introduced by this medium as a
pest to other fields.
The reason why rain causes spots
on the varnish of carriage is that a
certain quantity of moisture is absorbed
by the varnish, and this causes the
texture of the varnish to change. A
sort of granulation is effected by which
the reflection of the light is altered,
and this causes the color to change. If
water is applied to the varnish OF a car
riage and is permitted to dry on. it will
always have this effect, and so will
mud. A carriage that has been out in
the rain or mud should be washed and
wiped dry and polished with fine,
soft leather. The quality of the var
nish also has something to do with it,
The Onion Maggot. "A writer says,
in TicEs MagaEtne, that neighbor and
he each secured an ounce of Danvers
Yellow Onion, and prepared the ground
and sowed the seed in the same man
ner, with one exception--the neighbor
covered the bed with good supply of
| coal ashes. The crop in both cases
came up and looked well until the
| plants were about six inches high, when
the onions without ashes became in
tested with the onion maggot, and in a
short time wholly disappeared. The
neighbor never lost an onion. The
gardens were adjoining, the beds being
less than 100 feet apart.

brine three or four days, chop onions,
tomatoes and cabbage the day before

brine, peel and cut into thin slices.
Drain the other vegetables. put all into
kettle with sugar, mustard. turemric,
