"A French journal states that chlo
ride of lime scattered about where rats
and mice frequent will cause them to
desert the spot. A solution of it
brushed over plants will effectually
protect them from insects. If scattered
over ground infested with grubs it will
free it from them entirely. Bunches of
cotton or tow smeared with mixture
of chloride of lime and hogs lard, and
tied about in different parts of tree
will guard it against the attack of in
sects, slugs, grubs. etc. and drive away
those already in possession.
Ice Cream Cakes.-Ice cream; half
pound butter; half pound sugar; eight
eggs; pint of cream; rose water; half
pound flour. Beat the butter and sugar
till very light, also the eggs, into which
stir the cream; add these to the butter
and sugar, alternately with the flour
and rose water. When we'll mixed put
in small. deep pans, and bake in hot
oven delicate brown; when done turn
from the pans. and when cold open
them on one side and fill with ice cream.
Serve them on flat dish-keep them
on ice till wanted.
Iced Fruit. - Select very fine
lunches of grapes. currants, raspber-
ries, etc, etc, on their stems; remove
all imperfect berries; dip them in white
of egg tempered with water, or weak
rum arabic water. Sift finely-pulver-
lied sugar over them set away to dry
and then serve. Any larger fruits of
rich flavor. such as apples, pears,
plums, peaches, may be iced in the
mental shapes after removing the
seeds. In the hands of lady of taste
in decorating iced fruit is always great
success on table.
Frequently we find sick people
whose stomachs reject all kinds of
nourishment until conditions follow
that are in many cases fatal. l have
never known the simple saucer oi
parched corn pudding refused. The
corn is roasted brown, precisely as we
roast coffee, ground as fine as meal in 9
cofee-mill, and made either into mush
cruel or thin cakes, baked lightly
brown and given either warm or cold,
clear, or whatever dressing the stom-
ach will retain. Parched corn and
meal boiled in milk and fed frequently
to children suffering from summer
diarrhna will almost always cure, as il
will dysentery in adults. Detroi

The banker cannot invest million
dollars safely without knowledge Of

of navigation, would sink his ship. In
no business is the serving of an appren

who plants an orchard for profit. He
must know how to select the site ant
the varieties best adapted to his local

marketed to the best advantage; under

best results; know about cultivation
pruning, thinning, sorting, packing
shipping and selling, and these may in

would be interesting to inquire how
many millions of trees have been Sc
out for market orchards by persons VIII,
knew nothing of any of these particu
