USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Steamed Corn Bread.-One quart
buttermilk. one pint wheat flour, one
heaping tablespoonful sugar, one large
teaspoonful soda, two eggs, corn meal
to thicken and little salt
MANY turkeys die off very sudden
ly from salt carelessly left in their way.
Sometimes the old brine is turned out
from meat or fish barrels. Sometimes
it is left upon rock or in troughs where
cattle and sheep have been pastured.
Put your refuse salt where the turkeys
cannot find it.
Speaking of farmers horses, the
National Lice Stock Journal SAYS the
kind Of animal needed by most farmers
is one weighing from twelve hundred
and half to sixteen hands high, COM
pact, vigorous, hardy, active and docile.
If, beyond this, it has fine form and
style allied to good action, so much the
better.
Experience proves that lime-water
and milk are not only food and medicine
at an early period of life, but also at a
later, when the functions of digestion
and assimilation are feeble and easily
perverted. A stomach taxed by glut-
tony, irritated by improper food, in
famed by alcohol, enfeebled by disease,
or otherwise untitled for its duties-as
is shown by the various symptoms at
tendant upon Indigestion, dyspepsia,
diarrhea, dysentery and fever-will re-
sumo its work, aud do it energetically,
on an exclusive diet of bread-and-m milk
and lime-water. A bowl of cows
milk may have four tablespoonsfuls oi
lime-water to it with good effect.
i'm nearly all the directions for
making labels or permanently marking
ornamental and bearing fruit trees, .
hole is to be punched through the
metal plate or card, and q wire inserted
to be twisted around side branch fol
securing it to the tree. This requires
labor, and the wind swings the labe
which wears into the bark, and unles:
the wire is quite stout it ultimately
cracks off. A cheaper, easier. more
secure and safer label for the tree is to
cut the zinc plate into narrow strips
wider at the end to be written on, anC
narrow at the end to wind around the
branch. The wind does not rattle it
and the concentric coil expands as the
limb grows.
"A Tribune inquirer asks show tC
waterproof canvas stack covers made
of unbleached muslin" 1 have useC
the following method for over ter
years, on tents, awnings and wagor
covers, which not only renders the ma
terial waterproof but mold proof a.
well, and. to satisfactory extent, fire
proof: Take common rosin soap, dis
solve in cold water to the consistency
of paint, give it good coat thoroughly
rubbed in, let dry forty-eight hours
then soak in alum water for another
forty-eight hours, occasionally turning
the cloth so as to expose every part Il
the action of the alum; dry, and the
| article is ready. This should be re
peated at least once in two years wheI
used and exposed to the weather, as al
awning usually is. Cost is triiing. vii
not rot or crack, as with paint or OIL

--Grape-vines can be trained +,
stakes as well as on trellises, anC
wherever a man has room enough T.
grow a currant bush he has enough TO
a grapevine. OF course, you canno
expect vine confined to such circum
scribed limits to bear as much fruit u
one spread out on a trellis; still, wha
it does produce will be as good a
though the vine was allowed NOR
room. Vines trained on stakes shoul,
receive the same kind of treatment a
those on trellises, except that the
must be pruned more severely, and it i
well to check the growth in Summer b
pinching off the ends of the youni
shoots, from time to time, in order t
keep within prescribed limits. w
know that many of our vineyardist
assert that the American vines mus
not be subjected to as close pruning a
the foreign varieties, but this is shee
nonsense, as has been proved hundred
of times. Christi an at Work.
