A ready method for hot fomenta-
tons is to place fannels in the steamer
of an ordinary potato steam kettle.
They readily become permeated with
the steam when the kettle is placed on
the fire. and can be readily changed
without any fear of scalded fingers
during the attempt to wiring them suf-
ficienty dry, as in the ordinary
method.

tapioca, three pints of water. half

hour; stir frequently. add the salt,

Careful farmers (says the american
Cuitirator) should always select their
seed from the best-matured stalks while
yet standing in the field. There is no
doubt that difference of ten per cent.
could be made in the value of the crop
in one year by a judicious and careful
selection of the seed. and should this
course be pursued for series of years,
large increase could be made in the
crops of corn of almost any good va
riety.

The dish should be full, covered with
rich puff paste, and baked until the
crust is done.
-Spiced Grape Jam.-Pinch the
pulp IRON the grapes, laying the skins
on one side. Put the pulp over the
fire with very lutte water; boil twenty
minutes and then strain it through
sieve. Put it back over the fire and add
sugar drown sugar will do) and spices
to taste; half cup of sugar to pound
of the pulp will be enough. When it
boils, drop in the skins and boil ten
minutes. If it seems too thin. boil an
other ten minutes. This is nice as an
accompaniment for cold chicken as a
supper dish.
Prof. A. Z. Blount. of the Colo
RADIO Agricultural College. expresses
himself very strongly in favor OF light
seeding of wheat. He says that "a
single grain OF wheat cannot carry out
its habit and develop according to its
nature on less than sixteen square inch
es, and that every pound of seed wheat
should be made TO produce its bushel
all over the world" He AYERS that
sowing much wheat Ito get good
stand' is the worst kind of economy.
as the farmer loses his seed, and never
in any instance can make as large a
yield as by thin sowing.
The practice of forcing horse to
stand on his legs, or walk about, while
laboring under an attack of collie, is
most inhuman. The same remark is
also applicable to the plan of exercising
a horse during the time ne is under the
purgative action of a dose of phvsic.
He should be moved gently about be-
fore the medicine commences to oper-
ate, but never after. Do those barba-
rians who knock the animal about while
enduring the pains of collie, or when
suffering from the strong purgative ac-
ton of medicine, ever think of what
they are doing' If they were treated
themselves on the same plan, under
