FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


Hints That Will be Found Useful to the
Farmer and His Family.
A NICE WAY to cook fish is to steam il
till tender, remove the bones, and scatter
pepper and salt over it. Serve with 8
sauce made of milk thickened with flour
with one or two hard-boiled eggs Clipped
and mixed with it, and little parsley
for favoring.
Soup may be made of chicken broth
that is, the water in which chicken has
been boiled. It must be highly seasoned
tomatoes are an excellent addition; q
small onion sliced very thin and plenty
of pepper and salt, with a small lump OF
butter are needed also.
Nut CAKE-Two eggs, one-half cup OF
butter, one cup of sugar, one. half cup Of
cold water, one and q half cups of -four
one cupful of nutkernels freed from bits
Of shell and rolled in -four. If almonds
be used blanch them, let them get cold
and cut small with sharp knife. White
or English walnuts must be cut each in
to several pieces. Mix as with cup cake,
the water taking the place of milk, and
the nutsgoing in last. Bake in small tins
or in one loaf in steady oven.
VEAL CREAM SoUP-Boil the remnants
of roast of veal until the meat falls
from the bones. Strain and cool. The
next day put on to boil with slice OF
onion and one-third of cupful of raw
rice. Let it simmer slowly for an hour.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Just be-
fore serving add one cupful of rich milk,
or cream if you have it, heated on a
separate dish.
ALsYKE, or perennial clover, has
fibrous roots and globular heads. It
bears strorg resemblance to white clo-
yer, and may be considered as q large
variety of that class. It's advantages are
its perennial or permanent character, it's
hardiness,-as no winter seems to kill it
its capability of resisting extremes of
drought and wet, its greater weight OF
heritage during an entire season with q
certainty, when some other kinds fail.
Its power of production is great, and it is
adapted to some soils that are not fitted
for other clovers at ali. 1t should be
sown in the spring like other clover, at
the rate of four pounds of seed per acre,
when sown with wheat or barley. 1t is
not as coarse for hay az red clover, yields
well, and seems to give satisfaction to
those who have gr,wn it. As honey
plant it is unrivaled.
A CORRESPONDENT of the Germantown
Telegraph says the rotting of celery is due
to several causes. One OF these is very
rank growth just before trenching in the
fall; another that sometimes the ground
is so dry at trenching time that the eel
cry wilts and decays instead of growing;
third is digging too early or cover
ing the trenches too soon. Celery should
never be lifted until there is danger of
its being frozen. No slight frost will
hurt it; Eve or ten degrees will not in.
jure it unless very soft indeed. But q
frost that will fasten it in the ground so
that it cannot be dug out will kill it.
There is no need usually for covering
against fros. until three or four weeks
alter it has been put away, and the COW
ering should be gradually applied and
of kind that will lie on it lightly.
The Dairy says: Small COWS are some
times thought desirable for family use.
The small rough Shetland COW is now
proposed as subject for importation
and booming. This COW has no claims
we should respect. It is . creature OF
