Preparing Houseplants for Winter.
Country Gentleman.

Pot-bound plants will always produce more
flowers than those which have greater
abundance of room, therefore small pots
should have the preference. Each plant is
fitted closely into the pot and pressed down
tightly into the soil, and the pot is shaken to
settle the earth close around the roots, for
therein lies success. II plants are put loosely
into the soil they cannot thrive as well as if
it is packed about their roots, which will
make them grow finely On top of the pots
"a few spoonfuls of sand are stirred in to keep
the soil friable If sharp sand cannot be
obtained, take securing sand. If l could
not get that, l would take road-dust from.the
middle of the street.
As / take up the plants, I cut off all theif
large leaves and superfuous branches and
prune them into a graceful shape. A per-
fectly formed plant is much more beautiful
to the eye than one of struggling, ugly
growth. When the plants are all ported land
it is well to do the work toward evening, so
that they will have the benefit of dews), I
wet the soil little, but not enough to make
it soggy and sour. If the plants are numer-
Gus, place them upon back piazza, where
they will have little or no sun for three or
four days. Then l pltce them where they
will have light enough. and the longer one
can keep them out of doors the better, be-
cause the growth will become more hardened
and better fitted for winter.

Hints on Cake Baking.

When cakes are made without yeast or
eggs soda and powder being the substitutes,
they require quick baking in a moderately
hot oven, and should be drawn directly when
they are done, or they get dry and tastelesss
For plain cake, made with one pound or
flower, ETC., the time to be allowed in baking
would be from forty to fifty minutes, at the
outside not more than an hour. Yeast cakes
take longer-say from ten to fifteen minutes
and will bear to be left in the oven rather
over the time without much injury.
Very rich cakes, in which but
ter and eggs predominant take, of
course, much longer time to cook; pound
