BOILED FRosTING. Take one cupful
OF granulated sugar, put into a clean
tin with just enough water to dissolve
it, boil briskly until it "ropes" from the
end OF the spoon, turn while hot upon
the beaten whites of two eggs and stir
until cold.
SrEwED CARRoTs.-Scrape and boil
until almost tender. Cut into small
dice and return to the saucepan with
two small onions minced, little chop
ped parsley, cup of milk, pepper, salt,
and a big spoonful of butter Simmer
Tor 5O minutes, and serve hot.
CREAM CAKE, so dear to the heart of
the children, can be made by splitting
patty-pa cakes, taking out portion
OF the center and filling the space with
thick custard. There need be no waste,
as the pieces cut out may be used in
the foundation for a nice pudding.
To CAN ToMAToEs.-Fi an OK muz-
zle or wire sieve with tomatoes and
immerse them for two or three minutes
in a kettle of scalding water. This will
cause the skins to come off eaisly. Re-
move the skins and all inedible parts,
cut them In slices and put in a colander
20 drain. When enough are thus pre-
pared to fill the preserving kettle, put
them over the fire and cook as for the
table. Then can Immediately. If
cooked too long they will be bitter
from the seeds. The liquor drained
from them may be boiled down to cat
sup.
Corn CAKEs.-Cut tender, sweet
corn, that has been boiled, from the
cob; to each cupful allow an egg and
a tablespoonful of milk or cream. Beat
the eggs until light, add the corn and
milk, and thicken with just enough
flour to hold the ingredients together;
season, and cook upon a griddle the
same as batter cakes. Test little first,
and see if it is OF the proper consisten-
cy. An excellent luncheon dish.

two exceptions l never had a COW abort.
Some eight years ago had some Syra-
cuse salt left after sailing pork, and fed
1t to my COWS, The result was that two
OF my five COWS aborted. 1 became so
fearful of western salt that used no
more of It till the winter of 1888, when
l tried some more Syracuse salt and had
only one COW abort. 1 madeup my mind
to use none but Turks Island salt. The
first ever heard of abortion as an cpl
demic was IN the vicinity of Syracuse,
and as the salt made there came east,
abortion followed think there is some
mineral in it that causes the trouble"

This advice about soil for Pot Plants
is given from successful experience in
The American Garden: "Soms plants,
like the fuchsia, prefer leaf-mold, and
will do better in it than in anything
else have ever tried; but I grow fine
plants in exactly the same soil that
give my geraniums and other plants of
that character. 1t is my practice to
mix turfy loan, which I procure from
under old sods in pasture, garden-mold,
and manure which get in corners of
the barnyard, well together, and add
sand as l pot my plants, putting in
more or less as 1 consider advisable,
usually in the proportion of one-third
loan, one-third soil and the other third
made up of the manure and sand. Tor
strong plants I add less sand
than for those having many small roots.
In all cases ] add sand enough to keep
the soil from becoming heavy. Most
amateurs do not seem to consider it nec-
essary to pay much attention to the
item of sand. But it is. Iwould soon
er omit the manure, if had to choose
between the two"
The Mineral argus., 1884-09-18
Is baking Powder HeaIthy9

Some folks must think so from the
way they mix it largely in almost every
kind of bread; some use it in the place
OF shortening as well as yeast. We
cannot see any element of shortening
in in. I think have seen a recipe for
cake that calls for three tablespoons of
baking powder, and wondered how any
poor perishin' body" could stand such
an excess of it. I have seen hot batter
cakes for breakfast so loaded with it
that they were green, ''ring streaked
and speckled, and the oder from them
absolutely sickening, and sooner than
eat such stuff would hunt up any dry
crust of good, sweet, light bread and
soak it in my coffee, or, failing in that,
l would send out for crackers.
Make up your batter cakes the
night before and let them rise with
old fashioned hop yeast. If too light
in the morning and little on the turn,
stir in very little soda dissolved in a
little water or milk-half of a little
child's thimble evenfull will generally
be enough, and perhaps less will do.
You will be surprised how little will an
swer if you attend to it yourself; but if
you leave it to your house help she
would be likely to think heaping tea
spoonful quite a moderate quantity,
and your cakes would then be unfit to
enter any respectable stomach. We
would like to know if a great deal OF
dyspepsia is not produced by the al
most constant use of baking powder
and soda. And may they not also
produce blood poisoning, and do not
the teeth decay sooner? We want
light on the subject and would be glad
to hear from others.-Germantown Tel

Preparing for Fairs.

1t is now in order for farmers, horti-
culturists, artisans and others engaged
in industrial pursuits-nct excepting
the wives and daughters of ruralists,
and those of villagers as well-to make
timely preparation for the exhibition of
some of the results of their industry,
skill and taste in competition with those
of near and distant producers of like in
telligence and progressive tendencies.
The increase of agricultural societies
and clubs has been so great during the
past two or three decades that, in most
populous sections of the country, either
a state, county or more local industrial
exhibition is easily accessible, so that
almost any one disposed to dis.
play specimens of his or her cult
vation, management or handiwork need
not lack for favorable opportunity.
Many people who take pleasure in "go-
ing to the fair" are prone to neglect the
incumbent duty of contributing thereto
something which would add to the in
terest, variety, or value of the display.
and thus render the general exhibition
more attractive and instructive to 9TH
ers In attendance. Most sensible peo-

The potato bug has been very busy
this season throughout the counties Of
Orange and Sullivan. Especially is
this the case in Sullivan county, where
whole fields of potatoes have been de-
stroyed. The Rev. Father Delveaux, Of
Fremont, Sullivan county, who has suf-
fered from these pests, owns a fine pair
of peacocks, and one day saw the birds
in his choice potato patch going from
plant to plant and seemingly devouring
something. What was his surprise to
find out that they were picking off and
eating the potato bugs as fast as they
could catch them. Every morning since
then Father Delveaux has turned the
birds into his potato patch, and they
have devoured quantities of the bugs,
which seem to agree with them.-Port

pie who attend fairs do so chiefly for
the purpose of obtaining useful intor-
nation about rural matters; and they
should be willing TO impart the like by
contributing what they may to one or
more departments, and explaining their
modes of culture and management.
The true way to benefit one another on
such OCCASIONS is to compare products
and experiences, and to give the results
of experiments, both successes and
failures. But those who propose join
ing in the good work the ensuing au-
tumn by becoming exhibitors and in
structors, have no time to spare.-N. Y.

Small Farm Well Titled ,

We take the following items from
the Iowa Agricultural Report: Farm
ers are awakening,to the fact that small
farm we'll titled is better than large
farm half titled. Stock and grass, dairy
products, etc, have taken the place of
wheat growing, much to the benefit of
farming interest. Improvements in the
methods of farming consist in more
general rotation of crops blowing deeper,
carefully saving all the manure and ju-
diciously applying it, extending the
area of grasses and giving more atten-
tion to the care of stock and the making
of butter and cheese.-Farmers have
commenced tilling (under- draining)
their lands, and to a good advantage,
farming less acres and doing it in bet
ter manner. The dairy interest is Sc
curing marked attention.; creameries
are increasing and doing prosperous
business. Improved breeds of stock
are increasing"

House Decoration.

The New York Mail and Express saws !:
"a Broadway dealer says that the house
decoration mania runs chiefly to plaster
now. Busts, statuettes, plaques, reliefs,
antiques, urns, vases are few of the
things sold every day by the dozen.
They are all made in the italian quarter
by newly-arrived emigrants, and cost
almost nothing in quantity. Ladies buy
them exclusively. They take them home
paint, gild, silver or bronze them. They
then look almost as handsome as genu-
inc antiquities, and at one-twentieth the
price. OF course it's shoddy, but il
brightens up sitting-room amazingly.
and for people of limited means IT'S
good thing. Besides, it gives decent
livelihood to scores of young girls who
would otherwise be starving on needle
work. The1i buy dozen or two casts
for g, color or fix them up for a dollar
more, and then if they have good taste.
and are careful IN their work, they can
sell them ali the way from half up to
81 apiece.

A new beauty is looming up on the
horizon. She is Miss Kate Blake, q
compar atively obscure girl from the

and the prediction made that she will
be her next rival. All she will need
will be the notice of the Prince of Wales.
London seems in sad need OF something
fresh IN the beauty line. Mrs. Corn
