LOAF CAKE.
Three cups of light dough; work in one
cup of butter, one cup of sugar, two eggs,
one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in three
tabIespoonfuis of milk, one teacup of
chopped raisns; spice. to the taste, and let it
get quite light before baking.
PUMPKIN LOAF.
For two loaves, take two cups of butter
milk, three cups each of wheat -four and
corn meal, one cup stewed pumpkin, one
cup molasses, half cup butter. two eggs, one
tablespoonful soda. Steam IL hours, then
bake half an hour.
EGGS FOR LUNCH.

nice for lunch. Melt half tablespoonful of
butter in saucepan, add tablespoonful Of
-four, mixing thoroughly and browning
slightly; add little gravy or broth: or tall
ing these, a little water, three tablespoonfuls
of vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of French or
German mustard, and salt to taste; boil for
five minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the
sauce over the eggs. which are cut in quar-
tiers leDgthwise, aud serve hot. If liked,

CURE FOR FELoNs.
Saturate bit of wild turnip the size of a
bean with spirits OF turpentine and apply to
the affected part. A sufferer who has tried
the above plan says it relieved the pain at
once. In twelve hours there was a hole to
the bone and the felon was destroyed. The
turnip was removed, the wound dressed
with healing salve, and the finger soon be-
came well.
A GOOD CEMENT.
AS good cement as can be wished is
made as follows: Dissolve one pound Of
India rubber in five gallons of coal naptha
Add an equal weight of gum shellac, and
stir over low fire until the shellac is thor
oughly dissolved. The gum shellac in nap

cup of lard, half teaspoonful of baking

one tablespoonful of cornstarch rubbed
smooth in little cold milk; season with salt
and little cayenne pepper. Pick the lob
ster quite fine, put it into baking dish and
pour the milk over it; cover it on the top
with layer of fine bread crumbs, and put
little Jumps of butter over it. Put this into
the oven, and when hot and brown serve it.

The Record Of .hs Falrs.

The superiority of Wells, Richardson q Co.'S
Improved Butter Color over all others made is
again demonstrated by its record at the Autumn
nal Fairs. The test of practical use is what tells
the story, and the great value of the premiums
given by the Agricultural Fairs lies in the fact
that the judges in these cases are regular farm
ers, who know what their needs are and what
will supply them. Wells, Richardson & Co.'s
Improved Butter Color, which has taken first
premium at all fairs where exhibited is put up
in vegetable oil so prepared that it cannot
become rancid, most important property, the
Jack of which is fatal to SO many of the Batter
Colors offered for sale. 1t does not color the
butter-rnilE; it imparts bright natural color,
which is unassa;ned by many others; and being
the strongest is the cheapest Color in the mar
ket.

Faith without works is no good. 1t is just

Why is Athlophoros a specific for rheuma-
tism and neuralgia? This is important. Be-
cause it is natural remedy. How natural?
These twin diseases have cause, as all others
have. They are in and of the blood. The
acid poisons of the system get into the circula-
ton. They then determine toward muscle
and joint, causing pain swellings, inhamma-
tions, and all the phenomena of neuralgias,
rheumatisms, CONT.
There are hundreds of indirect treatments,
mere palliatives. Athophoros is direct
agent. 1t goes to the cause, the blood. 1t
don't poke about in the system like potashes
and colchicums and other stomach destroyers,
but like electricity clings to its mission and
goes to the point. Pain is Immediately re-
lieved That is more than half the victory
Without pain one can reat and sleep. Nature
can work, can cooperate. Dread is removed.
The remedy triumphs. Says Charles North
rop, Woodmont, Conn; "Had been victim
of rheumatism for years. Saw nothing but SUI
fering for the balance OF my days. Athlopho-
ros relieved my pain almost instantly With
your remedy at hand my former dread is ell
taken away. I feel that can keep the enemy
at bay. 1 do not believe in patent medicines,
but this know to be specific and the best
cure ever discovered for the terrible disease of
sheumatism."
Mr.. Northrops testimony is a, 10 stronger
because he was donbter, yet ,lligent in
quirer. Athlophoros only need4 trial. 1t
conducts its own case before c and jury.
Mr. Geo. Haden, Fair Haven, Nsn,, writes:
Shave suffered with neuralgia for years. 1t
attacked me when least expected, and forced
me to give up all work. A friend advised me
me to try Athlophoros. Bad no faith, but after
a second dose felt it all through me. In three
hours was able to resume work, and have
not had a return of the disease"
