FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Destroying Weeds on walks.

A writer recommends the following
methods of destroying weeds on gravel
walks; Dissolve one pound of powdered
arsenic i'll two gallons of rain water, put
ting the mixture in an iron kettle and
heating until it boils. Then add nine
gallons of cold water and two pounds of
crushed soda, stirring constantly while
the liquid boils and keep it boiling for
half an hour, with brisk stirring. Apply
the liquid while hot to the walks by
means of waterproof or fountain pump.
Great care should be taken that the
liquid does not touch the grass or other
needful vegetation. Although this
method of destroying weeds on walks
comes from high authority, we are in
clined to discourage such elaborate,
costly-at least, in point of time and
trouble-and poisonous concoctions
Many people, however, experience con-
slant trouble in keeping weeds off their
walks. We would like the experiences
OF some OF our readers who have success
fully fought the weeds. We have al
ways observed that walks properly made
and cared for are little troubled.

The dust heap is absolutely necessary
for fowls.
For the promotion of the milk yield
oat middlings are considered one of the
best rations.
Brood sows should have nice, warm,
dry pens, and should be kept quiet and
we'll bedded.
The principal essentials to success in
duck and geese raising are plenty of
room, water and pasture.
Grass lawns require moving often, but
not cut down close to the ground. 1t is
best to rake off the mowings.
The omission to furnish fowls with
suitable drinking water is one of the
worst features of cruelty to animals.
The newest and most effectual way of
suppressing contagious diseases in live
stock is by cremation of the carcasses.
Corn roots run shallow, which account
Tor the fact that hilled corn blows down
nore easily than if level culture is used.

Household Recipes and Hints.

If you cannot obtain ere am for use in
salad dressing, a substitute which will
answer is made by thickening sweet milk
with little arrow-root or cornstarch
The best way to cook new potatoes for
supper is to take cold boiled ones. slice
them and cook them in cream, or milk
with lump of butter in it and plenty of
pepper and salt.
Beef having tendency to be tough
can be made very palatable by stewing
gently for two hours with pepper and
salt, taking out about half the liquor
when half done, and letting the rest boil
into the meat.
Sponges which are to be used in the
bath room may be softened by boiling
for few minutes in three waters. After
each time of boiling rinse it in cold
water, and put on the stove again in
pan of cold water.
A good way to prepare old potatoes so
that they will be eatable: Mash the po-
tato after boiling, season it with PEPPER
and salt, then with the yolk of an egg
or of more if necessary--make the po-
tato into cakes, fry them delicate
brown IN butter and lard mixed, have
the fat very hot and then the cakes
will not be greasy.
Cucumbers are sometimes served as an
entree when prepared thus: Take good
sized ones and peel them and slice them
lengthwise; dip each slice into corn meal
seasoned with pepper and salt; fry them
in hot lard until they are delicate
brown. If you choose YOU can vary the
dish by dipping the slices into beaten
egg and then into flour or very fine
cracker crumbs before frying.
When you are tired of plain boiled or
fried eggs try this way of serving them:
Butter pie plate and cover the bottom
with fine bread crumbs, then break
enough eggs for your family, and drop
them on the plate, and cover with LAYER
of bread crumbs; sprinkle pepper and
salt over this, and put some little Jumps
of butter over it. Bake in a quick oven
for five minutes.
"What would any one do who had a
pitcherful of sweet, fresh buttermilk sent
to herr don't know how to cook with
it." A neighbor of mine made this ex
clamation, but noted caterer, whose
dishes were the admiration of all who
knew them, speaks highly of buttcrmilk,
and deplores the ignorance of the aver
age cook in regard to its good qualities.
An old time rule for making crullers is
to use half pint of buttermlk, one-half
cup of butter, two cups of sugar and
three eggs. Dissolve half teaspoonful
of soda in little hot water, add tea
spoonful of salt, half a nutmeg grated,
half II teaspoonful of ground cinnamon
of good strength. AS much flour should
be worked in as will make a smooth
dough; cut in rings or any shape you
choose, and fry in very hot fat. Crullers
used to be cut in little squares after be-
ing rolled out in thin sheet, then the
squares were shshed. -NeU York Post.

An Agricultural Creed.

According to the Cdnada Farmer the
agricuiturists of Canada met in conven-
ton, and adopted for themselves the
following creed:
We believe in small farms and thorough
cultivation; we believe that the soil lives
to eat as well as the owner, and ought,
therefore, to be we'll MANFRED; we be-
lieve in going to the bottom of things,
and, therefore, deep blowing, and enough
of it--all the better if it be a sub-soil
pillow; we believe in large crops, which
leave the ground better than they fond
it, making both the farm and the farmer
rich at once; we believe every farm
should own a good farmer; we believe
that the fertilizer of any soil is spirit of
industry, enterprise, intelligence with
out these, lime, gypsum and guano.
would be of little use; we believe in
good fences, good farms, good farm
houses, good orchards and good children
enough to gather the fruit we believe
in kitchen, a neat wife in it, clean
cupboard, a clean dairy and clean con-
science; we believe that to ask a mans
advice is not STOPPING. but of much ben
eft; we believe that to keep a place for
everything, and everything in its place,
saves many a step, and is pretty sure to
lead to good tools, and keeping them in
order; we believe that kindness to stock.
like good shelter, is saving of fodder;
we believe that it is good thing to keep
an eye on experiments, and note all, good
and bad; we believe it is good rule to
sell grain when 1t is ready; we believe in
producing the best butter and cheese,
and market when it is ready.

A Fat PuIlet, who set out To see the
