Many a deluded child has been
cured of cold by this means: Take a
cup OF brown sugar and put It in a
saucepan to make candy, but instead OF
adding water in which to dissolve the
sugar, put in little tea made by steep
ing thOrOughwOrt. This will impart
bitter taste, which is not unpleasant to
the child after the first mouthful, and is
really good remedy for tickling in
the throdt.i

The Rural NelO Yorker saws: Il
farmers would now pay more attent on
to breeding good mutton sheep and
largely increase their TO ks o. these,
they would lessen the in ury to them
selves from the curtailing of the demand
for their hog products in Prussia and
France. 1t would also be much better
for our own population if we le,sened
the consumption of pork among us, and
ate more mutton for the latter is much
the more healthful and even palatable
as one gets accustomed to it. In fact,
there are hundreds of people who will
never touch pork"

when ready to Try them, take a spoon
and stir them so there are no Jumps
lie t: sweeten the sour milk with soda
dissolved in a little hot water, in the
proportion Of a scant teaspOOnful of soda
to one large cup of sour milk. The
batter should be as thick as for corn
meal griddle cakes, and o this end stir
in enough flour to make it so; large
pinch of salt and the same quantity of
sugar should be added N y Post.
