BLACK BEAN Sour Wash aud soak
over night in terid water one pint OF
black beans. In the morning add four
quarts of cold water, ham bone, and
boil slowly till the beans are soft, replen-
ishlng the water as 1t boils away. Rub
the beans through colander, masnlng
them, and return to the kettle, having
taken out the ham bone. Chop two hard
boiled eggs, and slice one lemon very thin,
add pinch of red pepper and salt
If the ham bone has not made it salt
enough. If you wish, you can mould a
quarter of pound of sausage meat INTO
small balls the size of marble and throw
them into the soup for forcemeat balls,
and cook about ten minutes. You
should have three quarts of soup for this
quantity of beans, and It should have the
thickness of turtle soup. Black beans are
9 cents pint, lemons are cents q piece,
two eggs cost cents; so that the deli
cious and nourishing dish need cost but 90
cents, when eggs are near the highest.
Instead of the ham bone, any meat bone
can be used, or pigs foot or calfs foot,
skinned, make very rich soup Of this
foundation. But 1t requires no meat bone
of any description provided you salt 1t
freely.

PRESERVING EGGs.-Several plans have
been tried with more or less success. To
preserve eggs, the pores of the shell must
be stopped up, for two reasons: to prevent
the entrance of the air, and consequent
spelling of the contents; and TO prevent
the evaporation of the moisture OF the egg
and drying up of the contents. Placing
Ghe eggs in net or basket. and plunging
them for few seconds in boiling water,
long enough to cook or solidify thin film
of white next to the shell, is successfully
prrcticed in some families, but 1t would
spoil the eggs for sale. Closing the pores
by smearing the shell with lard, suet or
liaseed oil, has been tried with more or less
success. Many years ago patent was Ia
ken out for the use of shellae varnise for
the same purposes. The care required in
lhe use af the varnish, as each egg must
be treated separately, and as a slight un-
covered space would allow the egg to spoil
besides the discoloration prevented this
from comng into use.

EFEEcT OF COMFORT ON THE QUALITY OF
THE MnK.-The quiet and comfort or the
cow has much to do with the quality OF
her milk. In hot weather, the annoyance
produced by flies, and excitement caused
by fighting them, makes the nights milk
still poorer than 1t otherwise would be.
Chemical analysis has shown a gre at falling
off of fat in the milk of the same cow when
chased by a. dog. Any unusual excitement
0f the cow affects the fat in her milk. E1-
of heat and cold also affect the milk. In
q case where COWS went into q stream IN
hot weather, and stood several hours in the
water above the knee, there was a falling
oft of the butter product from tie same
quantity of milk. This is accounted for
by the extra food required to keep up the
animal heat, in consequence of the heat
being carried off by the water.
When we consider the fact that milk is
o. creted from the blood, we can readily see
the effect that must be produced by ex-
element on the nervous system of the COW.
In a case occurring in the city of Albany,
n. Y, where nervous cow was MIXED
by passionate man, who whipped and
otherwise il-treated her at milking, the
milk was given to child who had been
healthy, but, after using this milk, became
i'll and suffered from intestinal irritation,
followed by fever which seemed to affect
the brain and nervous system. This i'll
ness was traced directly to the milk Of this
n-trGated COW.

THE culture of osier willows is speci-
atty that pays only under favorable cir
cumstances, such as q suitable location
and soil and a steady market for them.
The demand Is unsteady and very limited,
and the soil suitable is low, moist, wet
ground. They can be raised most profit
ably on the edges of dItches made TO
drain swamps; the cuttings are planted
along the bitches on the soil or muck
thrown out and may be ready for gather
ing the tnlrd year, when the roots throw
up a large amount of shoots. The kind
of willow grown is shrub and not tree,
and throws up cluster of thin stems,
which grow to the height of six to ten feet.
These willows make excellent baLds for
binding corn-stalks.

degrees it loses the water it naturally con.

the operation Is called "burning," it takes

To KEEP NAILS From RUsTING.-
mails begin to rust, 1t is almost impossible
to stop them from becoming eaten away in
a very short time; in this case prevention
is better than cure. Mix one pint of lin
seed oil with Two ounces of black lead,
surring until the whole is thoroughly in
corporated heat the nails red hot and
steep them in the mixture. They should
then be we'll drained and shaken up in an
old mailbag until dry. The linseed Oil
and black lead cover them with q film of
varnish which is lmpervious to wet. The
above proportions will serve for an almost
indefinite quantity.

AGRICULTURE.

ARTIFICIAL HEAT FOR FowLs.--During
the cold winter months, when the ther-
mometer not only goes far below zero but
remains there and we draw closer TO our
tires or furnaces, exposing ourselves as lit
lie as possible to the severe cold, we nat
urally think more in regard to the use Of
artificial heat for fowls, and perhaps some
of US are inclined to make experiments for
ourselves. This is good idea If properly
carried out, but one should understand
thoroughly just what he proposes TO &C.
complish by this experiment. AT the first
glance it seems to be the most natural
thing in the world to give fowls the benefit
OF artificial warmth, on the principle that
what is beneficial for man cannot be hurt.
ful for fowls. But let us consider the Ques-
zion for moment. If your sole object is
The fatteniug OF your birds and the produc-
tion of eggs without regard TO the future
welfare Of your stock, then by all means
use artificial heat, for there is no question
but that this is desirable in the production
Of Fat and eggs. If you begin this trest-
ment, however, remember that you must
Lot let the fire go out or the heat a5atc be.
@SW q NSANtSAA RSAheP AIA ~ GGAS hGkH@uS
your labor will have been thrown away
and your stock injured, since fowls are very
susceptible to chllls and sudden colds after
being accustomed to artificial warmth. II
you wish to breed from your present stock
retain a portion of it in your yards for
longer time than the present winter. II
PROBABLY would be a mistake to resort 60
artificial heat, as ii surely enervates and
renders delicate the stock subjected to its
influence, end the result is poor, puny spe-
cimens for chicks and debllitated stock.
On the whole, then, for general purposes,
il is better not to rely on eXCraneous heat,
but have your fowl houses well protected
and as large proportion of glass in the
south and east sides aS possible. This will
usually furnish sufficient warmth, ana
even. where it is little cool it is better for
the fowls (admlttlng the loss of a few eggs
at the present time, than 1t is to furnish
100 great an amount of heat and thereby
render your entire stock weak and debilI-
tated. This course would also prevent
allowing the fowls any range, as the change
from heated room TO the cold air without
would be too great one tor safety. The
variety, however, makes quite difference,
as hardy, vigorous fowl like the Ply
mouth Kock Will endure change of all
kinds much better than delicate one like
the Spanish. The Plymouth Rock, more
over, does not necessarily demand the
range required by the Spanish and Leg
horn, and for that Ieason, as well as many
others, is the best breed or variety for geu-
erll use.

STEAM PIPES AS regards the best
method of protecting steam pines, foccu-
lent or fbrous materials, which are Door
heat conductors, are to be preferred, and.
if possible, an air space should be left be-
tween the pipe and the inner wall of the
covering. Hair, felt, loosely telted wool,
shoddy, SO called mineral wool, asbestos,
cork scraps, etc., are all good non-con6uc-
tors. A trench about the pipe filled with
sawdust, answers very well for under
ground pipes.

Pork SAUsAGEs.-Have two thirds lean
and one third lat pork, and chop very
fine. Season with three ounces of salt
and one ounce and half of pepper to
every ten pounds of meat. with powdered
sage TO suit the taste. Warm the meat 80
that you can mix 1t well with your hands.
Mix 1t well, and pack N jars. When
us ed, do it up in small cakes, and fry in
butter or alone. 1t should be kept VIII ere
lit is cool, but not damp. Sausages made
in this way are very nice for breakfast.

TREATMENT OF Soft CoRNs.-A small

spoonfuls spirits of wine, and the same
quantity of water. Saturate small piece
of sponge or linen rag, and place it be-
tween the toes, changing it twice day.
This will cause the skin to harden, and the
corn may be easily extracted. A good
remedy for soft corns is common chalk
rubbed on the corn every day, aid a

corns affected, TO prevent pressure; the
chalk appears to dry up the corn.
