Two Kinds of Oyster.Pie.

Make the richest puff-paste and
spread it round large dish; season
one hundred fifty oysters with cloves,
mace, salt, pepper, nutmeg and small
piece of finely-grated stale bread; add
eight eggs boiled hard and chopped
very fine; stir all together, and stir
gently; then cover with fine puff-paste
and bake. - Another delicious and
not well-known pie is thus made But
ter the inside of deep dish; line it
with thick rolled puff-paste, and pre-
pare another similar sheet of paste for
the lid. While this is baking, prepare
the oysters; drain off the liquor in a
pan, reserving just enough to put with
the oysters in a stew-pan to prevent
burning. Season with whole pepper,
blades of mace, grated nutmeg, the
grated yellow rind of lemon-peel, and
some finely-minced celery; add large
portion of fresh butter in bits, slightly
dredged with -four. The oysters must
simmer, but not boil, for fear of shriv-
cling; then stir the beaten eggs, the
yolks only of three or five, and stir into
from the fire. Keep it warm till the
paste is baked, carefully remove the
lid, and replace it after it is filed with
oysters and gravy. Make some small
balls of few fried oysters chopped,
grated bread-crumbs, mace, or nutmeg
and lemon-peel grated, and hard-boiled
yolks of eggs. Fry these in butter and
place them round the top of the pie,
which must have a border of paste
leaves also.

Minnesota Horticultural Report.

We are indebted to Secretary Hill
man of the Minnesota Horticultural
Society for copy of his report for 1885,
neat volume of four hundred sixty
five pages, filled with the experience of
Minnesota's best fruit-growers. AS re-
CARDS apples, the leading tree fruit, the
experience is much the same as we get
in the cold northeastern part of Ver-
mont and in the Province of Quebec.
Minnesota has sent us the Wealthy,
the best iron-clad winter apple, while
we have sent her the Scott's Winter,
the longest keeper of the same class,
and Quebec has furnished the Peach of
Montreal, one of the best fall dessert
apples in existence. These interchanges,
and the general and rapid increase of
knowledge in regard to fruit-growing,
are greatly promoted by publications
like this report. Many promising seed
lings suited to the Minnesota climate
are reported as on trial, and the New
Russian fruits are having a wide
testing, the results of which are full of
encouragement, assuring us, as they do,
of final and entire success in pushing
the large fruit culture several hundred
miles farther northward than it has
ever gone on this continent heretofore.

Preparing Food.

The students of the Iowa Agricultural
College issue monthly, The Stu
dents Farm Journal From the young
ladies' department we take the follow
ing sensible remarks: " The ability to
labor mentally or physically is largely
dependent upon the perfect assimila-
ton of ones food; and the amount of
work that can be accomplished, without
detriment to health, by person who
consumes sufficient quantity of we'll
prepared, nutritious food is almost linn
itless. The digestive labor required to
utilize badly-prepared food has worn
out many stomach and broken down
many strong men and women. A large
proportion of the care-worn, haggard
faces that are everywhere seen are
the result of improper diet. And nine
out of every ten of the deaths attributed
to over-work are the legitimate out
come of bad cookery. People who are
properly fed never die of over-work."

Books for the Guest Chamber.

AT one time l was staying in house
where the guest chamber contained
among the furniture little shelf of
books. have often thought of them
since, with a wonder that more careful
hostesses did not provide the same.
Nights when / could not sleep, and
mornings when l waited in my room
for the breakfast bell, dipped into the
contents-a volume of two poems,
some short stories and interesting
travels comprised the whole-and 1
found not the least pleasant part of my
visit in those quiet moments by the
window which overlooked the great,
old-fashioned garden. Any house
keeper could spare six or eight books
from her library, and almost any guest
would bless her for the thought. A
little work-basket fully stocked; pen,
ink and paper ready to hand-the Wis
itor cares nearly as much for these as
for fresh towels and extra coverings.
The golden rule, which is guide to all
branches of good housekeeping, as to
all branches of all business, comes to
ones aid here, and what we care most
for in another's home we should en-
deavor to give the conner to our own.
Good Housekeeping.

Tears.

Tears form part of the language
of the eye, which is eloquent enough
when sparingly used, and which should
be sparingly used for other reasons
than that of adding to their mute elo-
quence. Tears are a disfguring ex-
preston of emotion, and those who get
in the habit of weeping over every
small vexation do much to acquire a
careworn, miserable expression, and
are sure to look old before their time.
Excessive weeping has been known not
only to injure but actually to destroy
the sight. Few women look pretty or
even interesting in tears, though it has
long been pleasant fiction in poetry
and romance to suppose that they do.
Many women, some men, most chill
dren, make most disfguring and dis
torting grimaces while crying, and the
lady who thinks she can work upon a
mans feelings by liberal display of
tears should carefully study becom-
ing mode of producing them before her
looking-glass. Grimaces soften no
heart, and tears, accompanied by the
usual distortion, have hardening eff
feet, if not a visible one.-Americon

Mince.Meat.

A mince-meat which has been much
praised by every one who has tasted it,
and which seems to possess the virtue
of suiting all tastes, is made as follows
Take three pounds of cooked lean beef,
two pounds of beef suet, five pounds of
apples, two pounds of currants, three
pounds of raisins, one pound of citron,
three pounds of sugar, one heaping
tea-spoonful of cinnamon, same of
ginger, same of nutmeg, one scant half
tea-spoonful of cloves, same of mace,
same of allspice, one level tea-spoonful
of salt, two wine-glassfuls of strong
brandy, four of sherry, the juice of two
lemons, one pint of water in which the
fresh peel of two lemons has been
boiled for three minutes, and into which
has been stirred one tumbler of currant
or gooseberry jelly, and as much cider
as is needed to make the mince-meat
sufficiently juicy. The meat, suet,
apples and raisins must be chopped as
fine as possible, and the citron cut into
small, thin bits. All bits of skin and
gristle must be carefully removed from
the beef and suet, and the suet espe-
cially must be minced to apowder. To in
sure the spices being evenly distributed

English Walnuts In Vermont.

The cultivated walnut of Europe is
closely allied to our black walnut and
butternut. AS it formerly, at least in
colonial days, used to come to us from
England (where the tree grows, but the
nuts do not mature), the name of " En-
glish walnut" is firmly attached to it in
this country. The tree is really ma
tive of the mountains of Central Asia,
and was probably brought into Europe
by the Romans. 1t is now being grown
quite extensively in California, and
succeeds pretty we'll in the Middle
States and in the billy regions of the
South. We have not known of its
fruiting, or indeed of its being planted
in Vermont, except single young
specimen, which we saw bearing nuts
on Grand Isle in October. 1t was on
the farm of our venerable friend, Ben
jamin Macomber, and was planted by
his son, j. T. Macomber, who writes us,
November 10, as follows:
81 left my English walnuts on the
tree until they turned yellow, and 1
think they were fully ripe. The nut,
when Invested of its husk, is scarcely
larger than the black walnut which
also grows on the same farm "and re-
sembles it very closely, being CORFU
gated. The eating quality of the nut is
scarcely better. The trees are good for
ornament and would doubtless be good
for timber, but it would not be advisa-
BILE to plant them for their nuts when
butternuts can be raised just as easily.
My trees were sent to me as the d,carf
English walnut"
In reference to the quality of this
nut, as well as to the roughness or
smoothness of its shell, we notice that
European writers speak of great d.
versity in different trees. In fact the
varieties are numerous, and the best
ones are perpetuated by grating, the
same as with apples and pears. We
agree with our friend in preferring the
butternut, and now all we want is
smooth-shelled nut of that species (and
we have no doubt that such can or will be
founD to have native product that will
entirely supercede the imported article

will answer through this department
of the WATERMAN, for / know that is
the first thing she looks for when she
gets the paper, which is brought to her
door about eight o'clock Wednesday
morning. Take little less than one
pint of cream, or what you would take
from ten-quart pan of milk; have it
cold. Then add the white of one egg
and beat until it is thick enough to lay
lightly on the cake. (Do not whip too
long, or it will become hard.) Then
add little vanilla, a cup of sugar and
two heaping tablespoonful of chocolate
dissolved in saucer over the top of the
tea-kettle. - would like to have
Mrs. X. tell us how she makes meat
pies and give us the secret, if there is
one. For the benefit of one
who wants to know" will tell how /
make Johnny-cake: Take three-pint
basin half full of thick sour milk; add
two tablespoonful of sour cream, one
of flour, two of sugar, one large tea
spoonful of soda and one of salt;
thicken with corn-meal. Bake in long
tin. - Flies that are seen around
plant-pots come from small white
worm in the dirt. A weak solution of
carbolic acid will kill them. If they
are in Gala lily pot you can kill them
with boiling water; it will not injure
the plant. - When Cyclamens have
done towering, gradually withhold
water. Let them rest few weeks.
Then repot, and give them good light
and plenty of water. Mrs. G. L. F.

Farm and Garden Notes.

THE best temperature to keep apples
is as near the freezing point as possible
without actual freezing.
APPLES and pears keep well in a
moist room, not so grapes. These
keep only in dry atmosphere.
A GOOD housekeeper has two thor
ough house-cleanings every year, one in
spring and one in the fall; a good
farmer, two thorough barnyard-clean-
ings at about the same time.
A MANS farm is a volume, every
acre of which is page bearing the
marks of his character, indicating the
degree of mental and moral culture to
which he has attained.
MANURE is one of the things of which
farmer can never have too much.
The more he uses the better his crops
will be and the broader becomes the
foundation which he lays for permanent
prosperity.
IT always pays to select good tools,
even if you are obliged to pay a little
more for them, as the quality of the
work done and their durability will
very soon make up for the small addi-
tional cost.
FRESH hardwood ashes are worth
for the orchard as much as ten times
their weight in fresh horse manure.
The moderate addition of salt to the
ashes is said to still further increase
their fertilizing properties.

To Rid Canary Birds of Lice.

Says correspondent of the american
Cultirator:: "Take small elder sprout
to make the perch; punch out the pith
with wire or stick, placing a plug in
each end of the perch. Next heat the
end of small wire red-hot and burn
through six or eight holes to the center
of the perch. In using this perch, take
it out once every two or three days, re-
moving both plugs. Set one end of the
perch in tea-cup, pour boiling water
in at the top end, and the number of
lice thus secured will be surprise
Continue this practice as long as any
lice can be caught"

Harper S Bazaar,
ILLUSTRATED.

HARPER's BAzARi Is the only paper in the world
that combines the choicest literature and the finest
art illustrations with the latest fashions and meth
DDS of household adornment. Its weekly illustra-
tions and descriptions of the newest Paris and
New York styles, with its useful pattern-sheet sup
plements and cut patterns by enabling ladies to be
their own dressmakers save many times the cost of
subscription. Its papers on cooking, the manage
ment of servants, and housekeeping in its various
details are eminently practical. Much attention Is
given to the interesting topic of social etiquette and
its illustrations of art needle-work are acknowl-
edged to be unequalled. Its literary merit is of the
highest excellence, and the unique character of
its humorous pictures has won for it the name of
the American Punch.

CRANBERRIEs should be served with
roast turkey. They are much better
when prepared as follows than when
stewed in the ordinary way: Put them
on the fire in large kettle with cold
water sufficient to cover them well
cover closely, and stew until tender;
then put through sieve to remove the
skins, return to the fire and add enough
sugar to sweeten to taste. Remove
from the fire as soon as the sugar is
thoroughly dissolved, which, unless it
is in Jumps, will be as soon as the
fruit boils.

Sausage and Ham.

Dear Household Il am very much
interested in this department, and
would like to send a couple of recipes
which l know are good. The first is
for sausage: To twenty pounds of
meat add ten ounces of salt, two ounces
of pepper, two ounces of sage and one
tablespoonful of saleratus, and mix
thoroughly. - To cure hams: For
every one hundred pounds of ham use
two quarts of molasses, six ounces of
saltpetre and six ounces of saleratus.
Use brine on them strong enough to
float potato. Scald all together, and
when the pickle is. cold put it on to the
hams and leave it two months. Then
take the hams out and wash and smoke
them as soon as possible. You will
find them very nice. LILA B.
