THERE IS GREAT COMPLAINT among residents
OF Alexandria OF the want OF facilities for reach
Ing Washington. The trains between here and
there run only early in the morning and late 10
!ne afternoon; the river Is frozen over aud no
ferry boats can run. These who do business in
Washington, but reside With their families In
Alexandra, say that one or two trains during
MIDDAY between the two cities would be d
great convenience.

cup of -four, two eggs. one-half tea
spoonful soda. If you take sweet cream
tartar. Flavor with lemon.
REMEDY FOR BoILs.-The skin of 81
boiled egg is the most efficacious remedy
that can be applied to a boil. Peel it
carefully, wet and apply to the part af-
fected. 1t Will draw off the matter and
relieve the soreness in a few hours.
BEEF WITH ToMAToEs.-Fourp pounds
fresh plate beef, second cut; boil one
quart tomatoes, add a pinch of cloves

OMLErTE. Beat lightly two eggs,
and stir in one tablespoonful of milk
and quarter of teaspoonful of salt.
Heat the omelette-pan very hot, put
into it half tablespoonful of butter,
and, when it is melted, turn in the
beaten eggs set on the fire shake the
pan until the eggs become creamy !;
cook until light brown then fold the
omelette and serve on hot dish. This
is the foundation for all omelettes.
Ham, mushrooms, lobster, oysters, or
chicken may be chopped and laid be-
tween the folds. The omelette may
also be rolled. Epieures prefer that the
eggs should not be beaten very much,
but some want them very light indeed,
and beat the polks and whites separate
". Omelettes require an intensely hot
fire, and should be served hot. The
difficulty in making omelettes for a
small family is that they are usually
required to be large enough for several
persons, while at hotel they are made
for only one.

requisites for the successful culture Of
the strawberry: dig three inches Of
weII-rotted stable manure with the soil
The plants should be pot-layered and

soil against each plant with the foot
Served this way not one in a thousand
will fail. Stir the soil every ten days to
keep it clean and mellow. Pinch off all
runners as they appear, and by winter
each will have formed round bush a
foot or more in diameter. Cover for
winter with three inches of hay or straw,
which is to be opened a little in the
spring and the mulch left on to protect
the berries from the soil and the plants
from dying. This mode is recommended
for extensive plantations, as well as for
private gardens.

The simplest Farm Bookkeeping.

For an ordinary farm, writes cor
respondent, / would have but one book,
and that one ruled after the form of the
merchants cash-hook and keep it very
much in the same manner, /. e., on the
left-hand page ] would enter all the
debts. and ON the right-hand page all
the credits. From these two pages a
balance could be obtained at any time
/ desired 10 know how the account was
running.
The first account / would open would
be the farm. On the left hand page l
would enter the present cash valuation
of my farm implements, and all new
ones bought and repairs made. On the
right hand page | would enter the
amount received for any implements
sold or returned, etc. Now L would
have a name or number for each field
on my farm, and give it the same space
in nav book. On the left enter what l
consider fair price for labor done, cost
of all fertilizers put on that field, and
all seed put on same. On the right
hand page, the cash value of all that
the field has produced. The balance
at the end Of the year would show me
the profit or loss on that field. And
from the amount of this loss or gain
/ would know what next to do with 1t.
Without this knowledge how could /
intellgently cultivate this field in the
future? | might have an opinion as to
what l had, but such opinion would
be far too unreliable to base any future
operations on.
In like manner l would treat every
field on my farm; also, my sheep, hold
ing separate rccounts with different
breeds, if / had such with daily cattle,
my stock cattle, my working cattle, my
horses and horse teams, my hogs my
poultry. etc. Each of these accounts
will show its gains or losses, from which
i can decide the future management.
At the end of the year | would place on
the right hand or credit side Of abe farm
account a fair valuation Of my farm and
all farm implements, balance up all my
field and cattle accounts, carry the
balances to my farm account, which
would then show me whether L was
worth less or more than at the com
mencement Of the year, and just where
the loss was sustained or profit made,
T. e., which field or department Of the
farm had been the most profitable to
me, and which the least. The farmer
needs not to nave scales to ascertain ac-
tual weights. His estimates are good
enough, only be sure and estimate
against yourself, and then the result
will happily disappoint you, if at all.
