DOMESTIC RECEIPTS.

SHIRRED ILGGS.-Butter a dish and
break into it a number of eggs. taking
care that they do not encrO8ch upon
each other enough to break the yolks;
Sprinkle pepper and salt over them,
put a small piece of butter upon each,
and add a tablespoonful of cream for
each egg: Bake in a hot oven until the
whites are set
WASHING PEAs.-Somebody asks
''Why wash green peas" and surely
the question is pertinent. Does any
body shell boiled egg to wash it?
HOAnNY CROQUETTs.-To a cupfuI

spoonful of melted butter; stir well,
then add gradually cupful Of milk

in boiling lard.
Nuns TOAsT.-Cut four or five
hard boiled eggs into slices. Put
piece of butter half the size Of an egg
into a saucepan, and when it begins
to bubble add a finely chopped onion.
Let the onion cook a little without
taking color, then stir until it becomes
smooth; then put In the slices of eggs
and let them get hot. Pour it over
neatly trimmed slices Of hot buttered
toast. The sauce must be seasoned to
taste with pepper and salt.
CHERRY JELLY.-StOne and stem q
quantity of the best of cherries. To
every four pounds of cherries add
one pound of the best red currants.
Put these fruits into copper preserv-
ing pan. Place over the fire and re

the while with wooden spatula. Now
strain, press through hair-sieye, and
filter through jelly bag. To each
pound Of fruit add three-quarters of a
pound of sugar. On account of the
currants you may in this instance in
crease the sugar to pound for pound if
your taste so suggests. Now place
again on the fire aud boil to Jelly.

Wild Tobacco in Nevada

Nevada, as also in all parts of the
State, native wild tobacco grows pro

no water, but the fresh, green look
ing plant grows vigorously in all it's

Yet this shows very conclusively that
tobacco can be raised in Nevada with
the most perfect facility, If not with
profit. Tobacco is said to grow IN any
locality where cabbages can. but in
this state it certainly grows in locali-
ties where cabbages would perish
from thirst or any other nutriment.
Perhaps Nevada may become noted
as q tobacco-prOducing State by and

ORIGIN OF THE CEREAL GRAINS.

Professor Grant Allen, in an article on the
Pedigree of Wheat,'' in Popular Science
Monthly for March, says: "Wheat ranks
by origin as degenerate and degraded lily.
Such in brief is the proposition which this
paper sets out to prove. and which the whole
course of evolutionary botany tends every
day more and more fully to confirm. By
thus from the very outset placing clearly
before our eyes the goal of our argument,
we shall be able the better to understand as
we 60 whittier each item of the cumulative
evidence is really tending. We must endea-
vor to start with the simplest forms OF the
great group of plants to which the cereals
and the other grasses belong, and must try
to see by what steps this primitive type
gave birth first to brilliantly colored lilies.
next to the degraded rushes and sedges,
and then to the still more degenerate grasses,
from one or an other of whose richer grains
man has finally developed his wheat, his
rice, his milllet, and his barley. We shall
thus trace throughout the whele pedigree of
wheat from the time when it's ancestors first
diverged from the common stock of the Ill
lies and the water plantains, to the time
when savage man found it growing wild
amond the untitled plains of the prehistoric
Asia, and took it under his special protec-
ton in the little garden plots around his
wattled hut, whence it has gradually alter
ed under his constant selection into the gol-
den grain that now covers half the lowland
tilth of Europe and Ataerica. There is no
page in botanical history more full of genu-
inc romance than this; and there is no page
in which the evidence is clearer or more
convincing for those who will take the easy
trouble read it aright'

hard to put proper estimate on the benefit
that may be derived from sewing bushel
of clover seed, or the loss sustained by neg
lecting to sow it.
For many years past have made it
point to have clover hay for my breeding
ewes during the latter part of the winter,
and for spring feeding. When properly
handled, it is almostas nice when it comes
out of the NOW as when cut when cut, and
ewes fed all they can eat of it will rot re-
quire much OTHER milk producing feod, and
there is nothing they will eat with better
relish. This season my cover hay is coming
out of the NOW rather browner than COM
mon, and there is not as much color in the
blossom as have had other years, but still
the sheep are doing well on it, and the ewes
have an abundance of milk for their lambs.

to buy seed or do without, say, buy the
seed if you have to borrow the money, AS
a general rule the chances are in favor of
fair catch when the soil is at all adapted to

lore or after seeding, but have no dout of its
beneficial results, especially when sown late

grass plot is desirable for chickens, vet
some people are SO situated that it is not de.
sirable to have them run everywhere on
their grounds. The grass plot may be near
to or adjoining flower beds, etc., and the
brood must be restrained. Do not despair
of raising few chickens. Provide a light
box, with bottom, to answer the purpose
of coop. This will afford shelter for the
hen and her brood at night and during
stormy weather. Then make an inclosure
OF light Stats or wire, say 6x10 feet, as a

WE can see no reason why cranberries
may not be grown in Montana. Basse, in
his little book on cranberry culture. says
three-fourths OF the land that has been
brought under cultivation in the last twenty
years, has not or cannot be flooded. Lands
located zen feet above water have produced
better average crop than those in tie inn
mediate neighborhood that had been flood
ed. As further proof, he says that three of
his neighbors owning adjoining cranberry
plats, the middle owners plat is on knoll
too high to flood, and the other two owners
nearly surround him with flood. The re-
suit is the middle or high ground produces
far in excess of the other two. The high
bush cranberry has several years since been
recommended through our columns to our
farmers by an Eastern correspondent,and we
would like to see some of our people try the
experiment.

made Of manure. The furnace may be
made in the earth; steep cut bank is pref
erable. Shape nice furnace and cut a
trench from it the length desired for the hot
bed, cover with thick stone at the end OF the
trench put few joints OF stove pipe at the
far end, arrange over this narrow bed of
rich soil and be prepared to cover. Glass is
best, bat board shutters will answer. With

ture can be easily regulated. BY having the
furnace so as to close up tight, it will keep
fire all night. AT any rate, the stones will
hold heat sufficient to prevent the plants
from becoming chilled. A very long bed
can be heated with the same effect as short

vegetables for market should have a hot
