four quarts OF boiling water Let it stan d
on the fire till the alum disappears; then
apply it with a brush while nearly boiling
hot 10 every joint and crevIce In your clos
cts, bedsteads, pantry shelves and the like.
Brush the crevices in the floor of the skirt

harbOr vermin. Reaches will flee the paint
which has been washed in alum water. II,
in washing ceiling, plenty of alum is add
ed TO the lime, it will also serve to keep
insects at distance.
TAPIocA FOR DEssERr.-An easily prepared
dessert is made of tapioca; it hardly seems
appropriate to call so dainty dish pud-
ding. Soak cupful of tapioca for an hour
in cOid water, then boil, adding warm water
enough to allow il to expand; when tender
So eeten it and take from the FIRE: add a.
orange cut in small bits for favoring. Serve

flour seasoned with salt and pepper, dip
each piece of meat into the mixture and fill
a pie-dish with it; pour in little water

ton of half pound OF suet, finely chopped
to one pound of flour; bake for two hours.
VEAL CHOPS WITH TOMATO SAUcE.-Trim

Concerning Sheep Wrinkles.

Washington and the neighboring Counties
of Ohio and West Virginia, make up one of
the best Merino sheep districts of America !;
not inferior even in the goodness of their
hocks to those of Vermont, although not
quite so celebrated. The breeders here are
beginning to be convinced that the large,
unsightly wrinkles in the skin of their
sheep are very injurious 20 the evenness and
length of staple of the fleece and have now
determined to get rid of these wrinkles as
fast as possible This they can DO by Sc
lecting such rams AID ewes as have the
fewest and smallest wrinkles, couple these
together, continue selecting in the same
way with their progeny, and thus keep on
until they show skins as smooth as those of
the South Downs.
It has Eeen a mere prejudice, breeding
wrinkles thus long on MerinO sheep. As
they come to us in the first place with these
ugly folds in their skins, our hockmasters
thought they must be kept up; and thus they
have gone on until the present day, greatly
against their own interests end convenience.
1t takes much longer time to shear a
wrinkled sheep than it does a smooth one,
and the wool ON the folds is not SO valuable
as on other parts of the be dy.
There is the same foolish prejudice in re-
gard to horns, as it is thought these indicate
greater constitution in the rams. If so, why
not keep them up in the ewes, for these for
merly also often bore them. Breeders had
thegoOd sense to discard the ugly excrescence,
let them do the same now by the rams.

Prepare for Drouths.

The diminution in milk superinduced by
summer drouths is one of the farmers draw
backs The check in the flow of milk is
sometimes felt throughout the entire season,
even if favorable weather shall Afterwerd
ensue, for when COWS once fall off in their
milk, it is hard work 10 bring them up again
at this advanced stage OF their yearly milk
giving period. Such loss may be
avoided by taking the precaution of
sowing a small field of corn adjoining the
pasture, or in some place where it will be
convenient to feed. If sown at the usual
time of planting corn, il will be large
enough to use by the middle of July.
Another piece may be sown later, for feed
ing in August. This will be found cheap
and good food for milch COWS, on account
OF its extraordinary succulence. Sorghum
and millet are also good, but the corn for q
selling crop is better. On most soils il
fourisnes during a drouth, when every
thing else suffers. The cattle can be fed in
the pasture, lane, or yard, at the regular
hours. An acre or two will often help out
wonderfully in; this way, and that which is
not needed for feeding during the summer
can be cut and cured for winter use.

Looking Round for Candidate.

The Pittsburg Post says there II Ger

Republican candidate for President

than that, it is divided into wrangling
factions who hate each other with an
intensity that no truce is possible but
hollow and unreal one. The party
has lost its old aggressiyeness and does
not represent live ideas. There was a
great deal OF political force in war ami

May 20. Mr.. Dezendorf, member Of
the last Congress, is a candidate for
treasurer. having been nominated by a
regular Republican convention, called
in the usual way, in which every town
ship was represented. This movement
displeased Malone, who insists that the
Republican organization shall disband
and serve as tail to his Readjuster
kite. lie publicly claims to have the
support Of the National Administration
in this policy.
Mr.. Dezendorf recently published .
statement, charging that Malone had
come to Norfolk and summoned con.
ference OF the collector, the postmaster,
the foreman Of the navy yard, and
other officeholders. Ii was decided at
that meeting to levy an assessment OF
two per cent. on the salaries and pay Of
all Federal employees, and to use this
fund to defeat the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Dezendorf is a native Of New
York, who has resided for twenty years
in Norfolk, and has held many respon.
sible offices. lie is a Republican in
good standing, and has been conspicu.
