lo--A horses hoof is OF the same con-
sstency as horn. A hot shoe applied
to the hoof makes 1t brittle instead OF
tough, as some blacksmiths assert, and
It Is of positive injury to the, hoof, ,,.,a
When sewing buttons onlchildren's
clothes where there will be much strain
on the BUTTON the danger from tearing
the cloth out will be greatly lessened
by putting asmall button directly un-
der the larger outside button. This ap-
plies of course, only to buttons with
holes through them. H'' i0r 81 'U
Corn Fritters. Drain the liquid
from can of corn and chop the grains
fine. With this mix two beaten eggs, q
cup of milk, salt and pepper and two
tablespoonfuls of flour with half tea
spoonful of baking powder mixed with
it. Beat thoroughly and fry by the
spoonful on creased griddle. ,'-.,.
--It is a good plan to boil orions in
milk and water as 1t diminishes the
strong taste of that vegetables. Chop
them after they are boiled and put
them in stew-pau with little cream
and let them stand about fifteen min
utes. This gives them fine flavor,
and they should be served up very hot.

pulverized loaf sugar, mixed with three
quarters of pound of sweet butter,

and half of granulated sugar with
half n cup of cold water and quarter
of II teaspoon of cream tartar, a tea
spoonful of powdered gum arabic, and
a tablespoonful of vinegar. Boil until
it will harden in cold water, flavor with
vanilla, rose or orange, and pour into
buttered plates to cool; then pull until
white, stretch into wide, thin strips and
cut it off.
| -Ingrowing Toe Nails.-To cure in
growing toe nails, one authority says,
put small piece of tallow in spoon,
heat it until 1t becomes very hot, and
pour on the granulations. Pain and
tenderness are relieved at once, and in
few days tho granulations are all
gone, the diseased parts dry and grow
destitute of all feeling, and the edge OF
the nail exposed so as to admit of being
pared away without any Inconvenience.
Trimming Grape Vines. Grape
vines may be trimmed in Febru-
airy. 1t is safest to leave them until the
coldest weather is over, but they should
not be left until warm weather starts
the sap. In pruning two-thirds of the
new wood should be cut away alto
gether, and the rest cut down to two OF
three eyes. Summer pruning consists
in pinching off the ends of the fruit
bearing shoots as soon as two or three
lunches are formed, and moderating
the length of the leaf-bearing shoots
To mature the fruit sufficient quantity
of foliage must be left on the vine.-N.

ALI young housekeepers should
learn as soon as possible how to pre-
pare dishes for dessert which can be
made on very short notice, that they
may not be annoyed in the event of un
expected company to dinner. In sum
mer fruit answers every purpose, but a
other seasons, and particularly if the
first course is not very elaborate, SHE
will need to have something more sub
stantial. A delicious pudding can bt
made in few minutes by taking one
pint of milk and stirring into it half {
cupful of cassava, half q cupfulof cocoa
nut, two eggs, a little butter, salt and
sugar, to taste; flavor with vanilla
Cook this as you would boiled custard
When cooked and put in the dish il
which it is to be served, pour over tht
top the white of one egg beaten to
stiff froth, with a tablespoonful of pull
verified sugar added. Set it in the over
for short time to brown. This ma,
be eaten warm or cold, with jelly o.
preserves or without Another disl
which is easily made and which is eco
nomical as well as palatable, is to taxi
slices of cake which are little dry ant
pour over them while hot some boilet
custard; cover the dish quickly, ant
the hot custard will steam the cak,
sufficiently. Raisin cake steamed ant
served with some pudding sauce i
good. "Yelvet cream" to be eater
with cake is made in this way: Beat th
whites of four eggs to stiff froth, adj
two tablespoonful of sugar, two table
spoonfuls of currant jelly, two table
spoonfuls OF raspberry jam; beat al
well together; cream may be added O
not, as you choose. Oranges cut up
with sugar and grated cocoanut
sprinkled over them, are also nice wit
cake.--N. Y. Post. ..- .,,'.... ..g a,,.i
