-Paulet q Ia Creme. This is dam
ty dish for an invalid. Boil chicken,
chop or pound the flesh to paste, rub
it through wire sieve, mix with little
cream and two or three eggs, season
with pepper and salt, put in a mold,
steam and serve hot.
-Radishes can be grown smooth lnly
In very fine sand, we'll enriched with very
fine manure. A sandy loan is the best
soil for all the roots, such as carrots,
parsnips, turnips, beets, etc. They grow
much more quickly and smoothly in
such soil than on stiff soils.
Lemon Cheese Cakes.-One pound
of loaf sugar pounded, two lemons
grated, add the juice strained, quarter
of a pound of butter and two eggs; let
it simmer on the fire till it is as thick as
honey; when cold put in a jar, tie down
with paper, and it will keep a month.
Barley Water.-I have found this
useful in private practice to keep up the
strength Of a patient: A cupful OF bar
ley in two quarts of water, allowed to
boil two hours. About an hour after it
is on the fire, add a dozen stoned rails.
ms; strain before serving. If wish q
Stimulant, put in the glass or cup in
which l serve it teaspoonful of brandy
or sherry wine. 1t ought to be cooked
in poroelain-lined vessel, OF it is aptto
discolor.
0melet Souflle. the yelks of three
eggs, mixed to a cream, with six table
spoonsfuls of powdered sugar, and one
tablespoonful of any favoring essence;
add the whites of six eggs beaten to a
stiff froth. Mix the two together very
gently, so that you don't break down the
whites-not make themliquid; put them
by the tablespoonful in the pan, which
you may butter little; dust them over
the top with powdered sugar, and bake
the omelet about ten minutes in a mod
crate oven. Bake it until it is light
brown all over, and then have it eaten
as quickly as possible.
To Dye Straw Hats Black.-In or
der to obtain a level color a solution of
gluten is added to a lye of soda, which
is allowed to stand for twenty-four hours
and filtered. The hats are then stepped
for twelve hours in the clear liquid. The
straw is thus freed from grease, and the
mordants of nitrate, sulphate or acetate
of iron, as we'll as the decoction of log
wood mixed with sumac or gals, is very
evenly taken up by the fiber. A slight
addition of bichromate of potash i'm
proves the tone of the dye, and the goods
are finished with gum or gelatine.-

-Chowder. dish is always made
i'll a deep iron pot. Cut six ounces of
picked pork into dice. Put it, with two
large onions sliced, into the pot; fry
till the onions begin to brown; remove
the pork and onions. Slice five or six
medium-sized potatoes and three pounds
of fresh or other firm fish. Put into the
pot layer of potatoes, then one of fish,
seasoning each layer as you proceed
with sprinkling OF the fried onions and
pork, few soup herbs, pepper and salt.
Pour on cold water enough to barely
cover the whole, and boil twenty min
utes; and then add three large ship
biscuits soaked in milk, also half pint
of hot milk. AS soon as it boils again
remove it from the fire and serve at
once.
The Removal of Grease-spots.-Fat-
ty oils have greater surface-tension
than oil of turpentine, benzole, or other
Hence, if grease-spot on piece OF
cloth be moistened on the reverse side
with one of these solvents, the tension
on the greasy side is larger, and there
fore the mixture of benzole and fat OF
grease will tend to move toward the
main grease. II we were to moister
the center of this spot with benzole, we
should not remove it, but drive the
grease upon the clean portion of the
cloth. 1t is therefore necessary to dis
tribute the benzole first over circle
surrounding the grease-spot, to approach
the latter gradually, at the same time
having blotting-paper in contact witt
the spot to absorb the fat Immediately.
The month of June is the usual time
for sowing millet. though it can be sowr
later. In this it has an advantage ovel
other feed-producing grains when the
timothy or clover crop is known to bt
failure, it is still time to turn the soc
and put in a crop of millet. 1t is {
demonstrated fact that it will produce
more feed TO the acre than oats or the
hays. With sheep growers it is crol

nutritious, and the best results are OBJ
tanned when fed in the straw. 1t is ;

centuries, it does not seem at present t.
