Household Hints.

Pretty and cheap curtains can be made of al
teTnate stripes of lowered ehintz and coarse fur
piture lace, and lined with pink or blue satteen,
When you are about to make a eorn-starch
pudding, melt lump of butter in the pudding
kettle or pan, before putting the pudding into it.
There will then be no danger of the milk becom-
ing scorehea with ordinary care at least.
To give to soup peculiarly clear appearance,
let it get cold, then to half gallon Of soup put
in the white of one egg, and the shell also; let
the soup simmer on the back of the stove for ten
minutes or even longer, then strain it.
1t is said that infallible test for distinguish
ing butter from butterine is TO melt the sub
stance and then suddenly chill it with ice The
/ lard will go to the bottom and the butter to the
top the line or separation being distinctly Wis
ibe.
Cisterns which have acquired a foul odor may
be deodorized by pouring two quarts of Labar
raques chlorinated soda into the bottom of the
eIstern, using for this purpose pipe reaching to
the bottom Two BOTTLES cost about 10 cents,
and will clean an ordinary cistern.
The practice Of hanging curtains to mahogany
or brass pole three inches in diameter, OF from a
heavy cornice is rather absurd, and an opportl-
nifty for dust to collect is afforded. A light
brass rod about one inch in diameter is quite
strong enough, and much more sensible.
Very good portiere rods for doors and windows
of ordinary width can be made of broom handles.
They are simply painted black and have brass
rings passed over them to hold the hooks
Could anything be more economical And think
OF the satisfaction in thus utilizing the old
brooms
'Furkey redv pstticoats of the serviceable cot
ton called by this name, made houneed and
trimmed With white lace, are serviceable under
skirts, as the dust can be shaken out of them al
most as out of wool. Some of these petticoats
are handsomely trimmed with rows of black vel
vet ribbon
The housewife frequently finds it difficult to
obtain salt sufficiently fine for table use. The
best imported. which comes in stone jars, will
be cake6 and more or less coarse, and box salt is
most of it unsatisfactory. An old-fashioned
mortar and pesde should be. in every kitchen
closet. With. this common salt may be pow
dered very fine. It is one of the comforts Of the
table-powdered salt.
A free application Of soft soap to fresh burn
almost instantly removes the fire from the flesh,
according to a medical man who had been burned
repeatedly himself If the injury is very severe
as soon as the pain ceases apply hnseed OIL and
then dust over with fine flour. When this last
covering dries hard repeat the oil and -four,
dressing until q good coating is obtained When
the latter dries allow it to stand until it cracks
and falls off as it will do in day two, and a
new skin will be found to have formed where the
skin was burned.

New England Farmer.
The season is now at hand when farmers who
have light lands, and who may possibly find
themselves short of fodder for next winter feed
ing, should prepare for crop Of millet This
is plant that rivals corn for endslinga drought
and for rapid growth. There are three popular
varieties now before the Pgblic, besides others
not fully tested for full Endorsement. The
coarse, light colored millet, with d rough head,
Hungarian millet with smooth, dark brown
head yielding seeds nearly black and newer,
light colored, round seeded and a later variety,
known as the golden millet
Hungarian rnillet has been the popular variety
with us for many years, although the light
seeded common millet is but slightly different in
appearance value for cultivation They grow
in short time, eight weeks being amply sniff
Gent for producing a forage crop, though =
couple of weeks more would be required for
maturing the seed Millet should not be sown
in early spring when the weather and ground
are both cold 1t requires the hot weather of
June and July to do welE then it will keep ahead
of most weeds while if sown in April, the weeds
on foul land would snotheFit
Aiilet needs about two months TO grow in, but
if sowed late in July it will seem to hurry up, +"
and make q very respectable showing in less
time. We have sowh it IN August, and obtained
a paying crep but do not recommend it for such
late seeding. as there are other plants that will
give better satisfaction. Gollen millet has been
cultivated but a few years IN this country, and
as yet is but little Known but from few trials
we have been quite favoRaply impressed with
it. Fl is eoarseP than the other varieties, but
cattle appear to be very fond Of it neverthe
less. Itresembles corn In its growth nearly as
much as grass, and, compared with the former,
it is fine and soft, and it cures readily, like
grass, and may be packed away in hay mows
with perfect safety. 1t is about two weeks
latter than the other millets, and consequently
cannot be grown in quite so short a time, al
though it may produce as much weight to the
acre, in a given period, as either of the other
- f,res al "a
acre. is not too much for either variety of
nillet

A keeper of poultry writes: IF there arc

OF shorts or meal, and mix with water until it

tried it for several years.
A good remedy for scours in calves is raw

two or three days, and nothing else but grass

Iowa Homestead; There is plenty of old hay
left in the country, but it is not useless. If
farmers will keep rack filled with hay tor even
straw standing in their pastures they will
never be troubled with hoven or bloat in cattle
caused by filing themselves with green damp
grass or clover. The dry hay will be eaten by
the cattle and it viii counteract the tendency to
bloat.
A writer for the Canadian Farmer finds that
drilled corn, by actual test in the field has
the following advantage over corn, planted in
hills providing there be the same number of
stalks per acre. Phe stalks are shorter and
tured while they grow nearer the ground; and
drilled corn stands up we'll while that planted
in hills blows down badly Il believe drilled
corn is good thing, but it is a sore trial to cul
tivate it.
Minneapolis Tribune Now that spring work
is over, let the farmers attend to their door
yards. The man who has bars in front of his
house, COW and pig pens before his doors, chick
ems running into his house every time the door
is opened, evidently belongs to former genera
ton. Flowering shrubs, lawns, ornamental
trees, walks with a gate for an entrance and
porch is the latest and best fashion. Our homes
can never be cheerful or comfortable unless the
surroundings are pleasant

After our morning work was done,

older ones, also.
About 5.oclock, the settlers began to
gather, at our residence, and Mt 7
o'clock the house was filed. Our ex-
crcises were opened by reading a por-
tion Of the Scripture, and repeating
the Lords Prayer; after which was
singing, and speaking, by the little
ones, and select reading. Then Old
Santa made us short cali, and then
the presents were distributed, anu the
little hearts made merry by that they
received.
We were intending to have our tree
at the school house, and sent word to
the Director, asking permission to
have the tree there, and for him and
family to join us and all have "Merry
