HOUSE AND FARM.
Hints tn the Cook.

An entree specially designed to accom-
pany roast pork is made in this way;
Peel as many potatoes as will cover the
bottom of deep pie dish Sprinkle a
half teaspoonful of dried sage over
them. Cut a small onion IN thin slices,
and spread them over this. Add salt
and pepper, and little Jumps of butter
according to your taste. Cover the bot
tom of the dish with water, and bake in
a moderate oven.
An appetizing entree is made by TAX
ing cold boiled cabbage; chop it fine; for
medium-sized pudding dish full add
two we'll beaten eggs, tablespoonful OF
butter, three tablespoonfuls of cream,
with pepper and salt aud libitum. But
ter the padding dish, put the cabbage in
and bake until brown. This may be eat
en- cold, but it is much better it served
hot 1t is especially good with roast
pork, or pork chops.
A delicious chicken soup is made by
cutting up one chicken and putting it in
your kettle with nearly two quarts of
water, a teaspoonul of salt and little
pepper. When about half done add two
teaspoonfuls of barley or of rice. When
this is done remove the chicken from
the soup, tear or cut part of the breast
into small pieces, and add TO the soup
with a cup of cream. The rest of the
chicken may be reserved for salad, or
for chicken croquettes.
A delicate entree is made by scraping
ten small table carrots and putting them
in saucepan with three ounces of but
ter. Let them simmer gently; VIII en-

teen minutes, add some salt, pepper a
very small onion chopped fine, and
httle,-say teaspoonful- Of chopped
parsley. When the carrots are tender.
drain the butter from them and serve
hot. This is nice dish with roast beef.
Potato pancakes make most excel.
lent dish for supper. Serve with the
same embellishments in the way of pick.

after peeling them and washing thor
oughly. Add the yolks of three eggs, a
heaping table spoonful OF flour, and If
they seem to dry, little milk will do to
thin them, with a large teaspoonful OF
salt, and lastly the whites ofthe three
eggs beaten stiff, and thoroughly beaten
in with the potatoes. Heat your grid
die and put butter and lard in equal
proportions on it, and fry the cakes in
it until they are brown. Make them a
third larger than the ordinary size of
the pancake.
One way to economic and to produce
excellent results in cooking Is to use suet
in place of butter or lard, For many
purposes it is better than either of these.
Some people who object decidedly to
cakes fried in lard relish them when
suet is used for frying. Beef balls are
very nice tried in suet. Round steak can
be used for these. Chop the neat fine,
season well with pepper and salt and
any herb you may choose, shape them
like fiat balls with your hands, dip in
egg and fine cracker or bread cru mbs,
and fry in the hot suet.

Happy Go.Luck Farming.

The Western Rural in commenting
upon the happy go-luck style OF farming
\ hich our improved machinery makes
nossible, saws. sit is not question with
ijs how much an acre will produce, or
can be made to produce? An acre?
what is an acre? If one acre does not
produce as much as we want we plant
two, for our sulky plows, and riding
cultivators, and reaping machines make
distance and area OF very little lmpor-
lance. In fact we spread out our oper-
atoms too wide aud too thin, simply be-
cause our modern i'm proyements enable
ms TO do So We waste land and we
waste interest on capital invested IN
land and we will be compelled to do
differently in this country. We shall
have to contract our operations, and quit
cultivating an ltire township IN one
farm simply because inventive genius
enables us to get over it easily. Unless,
for instance, we can increase the weld
OF wheat per acre in this country, there
is danger of being driven out of the bus
mess of wheat growing. AS the country
becomes settled up and land increases
in price. we shall not be able TO devote
land to raising fourteen bushels o.
wheat to the acre, and that is above the
average. We must make one acre do at
least what two are now doing and we
shall do it. No doubt of it at all.
Farming is not always going to be what
it now is in the United States. 1t can
not always be so; and the question with
every farmer ought to be not how much
acreage can get over, with our mar
velously perfect machinery, but what is
the limit | can compel every acre under
cultivation, to dc in production"

A Monkey Story
ON the Boston Glob'


Some time ago an English lady, who
was living at Kingston, Jamaica, took
passage on a homeward bound vessel,
taking her two months old infant with
her. A large, strong, active monkey
which was on board took violent fancy
for the child. The monkey would SIT sill
day long watching the mother as she
rocked and fondled the little one, and
followed her from place to place. Sew
eral times the animal tried, unsuecess
fully, to get possession of the baby.
One beautiful afternoon q distant sail at
tracted the attention ofall on board. and
the captain politely offered his glass to
the lady. She placed her baby on the
sofa azd had just raised the glass to her
eye when cry was heard
Turning quickly she beheld a
sailor in pursuit Of the monkey, which
had grasped the infant firmly with one
arm and.was nibly climbing the shrouds,

Tie mother tainted as the animal
reached the top of tile mainmast. The
captain was at his wits end. He feared
if he sent sailor in pursuit the monkey
would drop the baby and escape by
leapiug from mast to mast. The child,
in the meantime, was heard to cry,
but the fear that the monkey was hurt
ing it was dispelled by seeing it initiate
the motions of the mother, handling,
soothing and endeavoring to hush it to
sleep. After trying in many ways to
lure the animal down, the captain fin
ally ordered the men below and con-
cealed himself on deck. In a moment,
to his great joy, he saw the monkey
carefully descending. Reaching the
deck, it looked cautiously around, adj
vanced to the sofa and placed the baby
upon it. The captain restored the
frightened infant to its mother, who
was soon satisfied that her darling had
escaped without injury.

warmth ana Pure AIR for stock.

The recent cold weather gives stock
excellent appetite and shows conclusive
~ theimportance of providing for them
comfortable winter quarters. The loss
from unnecessary exposure of stock in
Western ATTITUDES amounts to millions oil
dollars in this country every winter, and
the importance of the question of shell
ter for stock needs to be advocated.
There is usually mnch less exposure OF
cattle, and the former are better enable
ed to bear the inclemency OF weather It

sensitive to cold, and while with an
abundance of hearty food before them

due attention be given to the subject,
and suitable means for Shelter and COM
fort provided, Many farmers allow
their stock to be unnecessarily EXPOSED
in winter, from mere carelessness and
ignorance of the laws pertaining to the
health and comfort of all animals. They
need to be reminded that the heat in all
warm blooded animals requires to be
kept at nearly the same temperature ard
that when the weather becomes cold or
stormy; as IN winter, some provisions
must be made TO keep up the animal
heat to nearly its normal degree. This
may usually be accomplished by feeding
the animals heavily of strong concentra-
ted food, but it can be done much ohea p
er by providing suitable protectl on
against the cutting winds and pelting
storms.
