and much or 'Nthe damage they do to
tomato plants may be avoided by maxi
ing q compact mound about the plants
as large as an inverted tea cup.
-iDr. Harlan reports that some years
ago he "raised 509 bushels of potatoes
to the acre by planting the sets on
plowed and mellow ground, foot
apart, and covering them with straw
from twelve to eighteen inches deep"
The great advantage of all the i'm
proved breeds Of live stock over the
common or "scrub" sorts is that they
convert larger proportion of the food
they consume into animal products and
these usually of better quality.
Somebody may not know that If
she makes more pie-crust than she
cares TO use it will keep for day or
two. Sprinkle little flour over it and
set it in q cool place; it will be tlalSy
and crisp without being r,th; or YOU
may make tarts of it, to be filed with
Jelly, Jam or lemon custard.
1t is not uncommon error to
imagine that animals that eat but little
are the most profitable; so long as an ami.
NAL is capable of digesting and assimi-
lating it, the greater the amount OF
food it consumes the more profitable
are the returns; for the proportion OF
the food that goes to supply the waste
of tissue and run the animal machinery
is less when large than when small
amount is eaten. .ciH
Cream and Egg Toast Cheese
crumbs; half pint OF milk; two eggs;
salt and pepper; butter; toasted bread.
Put cupful of cheese crumbs in the
milk, and boil till melted; add the
eggs, well-beaten, with butter and
seasoning to taste; stir rapidly few
minutes, take from the fre-have ready
the bread well toasted, and the slices
cut in quarters; pour the cheese on,
and serve at once very hot. This is Q
nice relish for tea or lunch. r,l
To keep fresh eggs in good order
through the summer, dip them ii
melted paratfine and place them on the
small end in ordinary, moist sand in g
tight barrel. When the barrel is
nearly full, fill up with sand and tie 6
sheet of packing-paper over the head o
the barrel, and keep it in a cool place
| or the eggs may be packed in semi
liquid lime-wash. The paratline i:
odorless and tasteless, and can be re
moved by dipping the eggs in warn
water, and is by far the neatest anC
cleanest method, ...r ......t..g
The profits of small flock o
sheep are usually very large, and prob
ably no investment the farmer car
make pays so large dividends. 1t ma,
be claimed that n profit of fifty pc
cent. can be annually made, and excep
tional instances are recorded of tn
wool and lambs at the end of the yea
paving the first cost. Sheep are th
greatest success upon cheap lands, a
it would be difficult to have an acre o
800 land afford subsistence for sheel
enough to make it pay, an argumen
that would apply as well to other stock
though no other stock pays so complete
double dividend as does sheep wit
her fleece and lamb. r.IriH isH-

the whole sauce will rise and be 8
