Dreaded EggS.-BOll hard and cut
in rOtVad, thick slices; pepper and salt
and dip each in beaten raw egg, then
in fine bread crumbs or powdered
cracker crumbs and fry in butter, hiss

Stove luster, when mixed with tur-
pentine and applied in the usual man
ner, is blacker and more glossy than
when mixed with any other liquid, and
the turpentine also prevents rust. If
stoves are rubbed with kerosene when
put away in the spring they will not
rust.
--Prune Pies. Stake a pound of
prunes and soak them over night, so
that the stones will slip out easily; stew
in some water with rs many raisins as
you wish, and sweeten; use less water
than for sauce; when both are soft CRATE
in the rind of two lemons and fill the
pie, allowing two crusts.
To make warm weather breakfast
cakes, take one cup of molasses, one
cup of brown sugar, nearly one cup of
butter, or lard and butter mixed, one
cup of sour milk, four cups of flour,
four teaspoonfuls of soda, not heaping
but even full, one teaspoonful each of
cinnamon, salt and ginger, one egg;
bake in gem tins. These will keep well
forla week.
The best food for horses is hay
with corn and oats mixed Oats alone
is the best food for road horses that are
driven a good deal at rapid gait, but
for work horses at least une-half the
grain food should be corn. When no
other grain but corn is fed it is apt to
produce heated and intlammatory con-
dition of the system which may induce
various forms of disease.
Whips. One pint of rich cream,
sugar, lemon. Rub Jumps of sugar on
the lemon to extract the oil, then mix
with the cream, but not too sweet; put
it in shallow dish and set it on the ice
awhile; when quite cold use the whip
syringe. or if you do not have one a
large fork will do; as fast as the froth
rises lay it on a sieve to drain. Then
place in the bottom of your jelly glasses
any kid of Jelly or jam, and fill the
glass With the whip. Serve with deli
cate cake.
TO cure heaves give the horse no
dry, dusty food of any kind Sprinkle
his hay and oats in winter with very
weak lime water or ordinary well
water. Avoid clover hay at all times.
and if you can raise some nice corn
fodder, sown thickly in order to have
the stalks small and tender, and then
cure it well, feed this in preference tC
hay. Good, clean corn fodder is al
most a specific for heaves if accom-
panied with care in working the ami.
