USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.
Beef Rolls. Take the remains Of
cold roast or boiled beef. Mince toler-
ably fine with small amount of its fat;
add seasoning of pepper, salt and
chopped herbs; put the whole in roll
Of puif-paste and bake for half an hour,
or rather longer should the roll be very
large.
Lemon Pie.-For oach pie, take the
yelks of three eggs, cupfuf of sugar, .
tablespoonful of butter, CRATE the rind
and press out the juice of q lemon,
half q cupful of cold water, two spoon
fuls of flour, and pinch of salt; re-
serve the whites of the eggs for the top;
mix two spoonfuls of white sugar with
them.
The only way to thoroughly clean
poultry-hOuse is to tear out the in
side completely, take out everything
that lice can hide behind. and leave
only the bare walls and earth floor.
Then drench the whole with hot lime
wash with plenty of carbolic acid in it
and keep the house free from all gim-
cracks of rests, roosts, etc., and use
only plain poles and loose boxes for
these.
The farmer who would be success
ful must keep a sharp eve upon his land
that is down to grass. If it yields him
a good crop of hay, or furnishes him a
rich pasture for his animals, he may be
quite sure he is on the road to success.
On the other hand, if the meadow is
light. and the pasture furnishes only a
scanty picking, there is little hope that
the year will be a profitable one. Look
well to the grass land.
Picked Cauliflower. Pick the
cauliflowers into pieces, leaving out all
the stalks and leaves; scald in a kettle
of salt and water, about quarter of a
pound of salt to quart of water; heat
slowly, bring to a boil; take out the
caulifiower, drain we'll, and lay on a
cloth near the fire for twenty-four
hours at least; when perfectly dry put
into glass cans and cover with a pickle
of three ounces of curry powder in a
quart of vinegar boiled and poured over
hot
Boiled Apples with Sirup. Wash
six quarts of juicy, sweet apples; turn
over them three pints of water and add
two pounds of brown sugar. Boil until
the apples are soft; remove them from
water; simmer this until it attains the
consistency of thick sirup. turn little
over the apples and save the rest to eat
with warm griddle cakes. Many per-
sons choose sirup made of brown sugar
rather than any they can buy. This
sirup from sweet apples is no more ex-
pensive than the other, and possesses
a delicate and rich flavor impossible to
get otherwise.
Apple Roly-Poly.-Peel, quarter
and core sour apples, make rich soda
biscuit dough, or raised biscuit dough
rolled thin roll the dough half an inch
thick or less, slice the apples thin and
lay them on the dough, roll up. tuck in
the ends. prick deeply with fork, put
in a pudding-bag or in a steamer over
boiling water, and cook an hour and
three-quarters. Serve with sweetened
cream or butter and sugar. Blackberry
jam or any other fruit may be used in
stead of apples. If the roly-poly is
cooked in bag put an inverted saucer
or plate in the bottom of the kettle, and
have boiling water ready to renew that
which wastes.
1t is stated by an English writer
that he finds it important to thicken
gas-tar by boiling before applying it to
the bark of trees to exclude rabbits, SO
that when cold it will barely soak
through the clothes used in applying it.
If too thin, it goes into the bark of the
trees; if thick, it remains outside, and
does no harm. It is applied by using a
cloth in the hand, and 400 or 500 trees
are treated by man in day. 1t should
be remarked that there is much less
danger of injury to old, hard-barked
trees than to young trees that have a
soft green bark, and there is less danger
in cool. moist climate than. under q
hot and burning sun.
Moon Blindness.-There is no per.
manent cure for this evil, which is ant
to return again and again at uncertain
intervals, and finally leave the horse
more or less completely blind. In the
beginning of the attack place the horse
in darkened stall. Having fed one or
two meals of bran mash, give purga-
tive dose of medicine, composed of five
drains of aloes, one dram of podophyl-
lin, two drains of inter and dram of
capsicum. Battle the eyes twice daily
with warm water, by means of a soft
sponge. and apply between the eyelids,
by means of small cancels hair PEN
Gil, portion of a mixture of half an
ounce of Goulard's extract, one ounce
of fluid extract. of belladonna, and a.
pint of distilled water. Apply also to
the lids, and to the hollow over the eve
q portion of fluid extract of belladonna.
Give loosening food in moderate guam
titles. Strong light and strong winds
should be avoided. Western RMral.
