Pure Beef-tea Without Water. -
Fill a quart self-sealing glass can with
beef cut into very small pieces, close it,
and place the jar in kettle of warm
water. Let the water come to boil
gradually, so that the jar may not break,
and let it remain on the range about
three hours; then strain it off and you
will have large cup of pure juice of
the beef. Then put in a little salt and
cayenne pepper. nz .s.y mo sir.
Snow Pudding. Soak one-half a
paper of gelatine in just enough water
to cover it; add one pint of boiling
weter, two cups of sugar, and juice of a

cooled, so it commences to thicken; add
the beaten whites of three eggs; beat
all together until creamy, then turn in
to a mold. The same is made with a
pint of milk and yelks of the eggs, sugar

Ashes operate with greater or less
efficacy on different soils and in differ
ent seasons, and any precise quantity
cannot therefore be prescribed, the
amount usually applied being made to
vary with the supply-say from ten to
fifty bushels per acre. A limited and
given quantity would probably produce
greater results if widely and thinly
spread, than If concentrated within O
narrow space, leaving the rest of the
land without it. FI.i'I
How to Remove Warts from Cat
tle.--Small ones may be removed with
scissors; large ones, having a narrow
base, may be strangled by means Of q
strong, waxed thread, such as shoe
makers or saddlers use. 1t should be
tied tightly around their base, and if
of week. another ligature may be ap-
piled. Whichever process of removal
is resorted to, the remaining wound
should be touched daily with some
tincture of iron. As the operation is
painful to the animal, only q portion
of the warts sh0uldlbe attended1to at a
time. =-Ldpe Stock, journal. eea't.
"A subscriber sends the following
method of treating poll-eyil which he
has found successful. Open the pipe to
the bottom with d probe that will not
break, such as doubled wire with the
loop end downward, take equal parts
of bi-chloride of mercury and sulphate
of zinc; put large pinch in a piece of
thin muslin cloth and tie this to a string;
put the bag to the bottom of the pipe
with the probe, leaving the end of the
string with ball of cotton cloth tied to
it hanging out of the top. Repeat this
weekly for three or four weeks until the
pipe comes out. Then keep the parts
clean with soap and water and the fistu-
la will soon heal.-N r Times.
/ Baked Apples.-Take q deep pie
tin and scatter sugar literally over the
bottom; half an inch of sugar if the
apples are pretty sour. Pare the apples
and cut into halves. Remove the cores
carefully, then lay them, core side
down, into the sugar. Add a small
cuoful of water and bake till perfectly
tender, but do not let them stew to
pieces. When cold take up in q deep
dish, and if any juice remains in the tin
t,lrn it over the apples. Add a little
sweet cream in dishing them out, and
with good bread and butter this makes
as relishable a dessert as one can desire.
Russets, Greetings and Belmonts are
all especially nice baked in this manner
AN exchange speaks of the great
value of "chip dirt" for spreading
around young or newly set fruit trees,
imparting to them double vigor in
growth. 1t is simply the benefit de-
rived from good mulching. Decayed
chips, leaf-mold and dried muck are all
quite similar in their nature, and they
tend strongly to hold the moisture in
the soil below, and cannot form a crust
on the surface, they are we'll fitted for
the purpose. 1t is probable thai fire.
quent stirring Of the surface of the soil
about the trees would answer nearly
the same purpose; but, as planters gen
orally neglect this stirring or perform
it in an inefficient manner, while the
action of the decayed vegetable matter
cannot be hurt by neglect, it has a
special advantage over other modes of
treating young trees. rDr 3esu
