Recipes and Household Hints.

A small quantity of sassafras
bark placed among any kind Of
dried fruit or dried beans will keep
it free from worms or bugs for
years.
A piece of soft newspaper and a
little alcohol will clean windows
and mirrors quickly, and give a
nice polish. Paper is better fo7
the purpose, as the lint from a
cloth is not easily removed,
A Graham pudding is made by
taking one and one.half cup of
Graham -four, one.half cup Of
sweet milk, one egg, enc teaspoon
full of soda, one cup Of raisins,
seeded. Add spice and salt to the
taste, and steam three hours.
Serve with lemon sauce.
Economy counts in the course OF
a year, and the care of the kitchen
utensils, the washtubs, etc, is by
no means lost or useless. 1t is
wise also, to look after the fruit
cans, when the fruit is taken they
should be washed in warm suds,
and should then have a little soda
or ammonia put into them and be
filed with water, and allowed to
stand for an hour or two, then they
should be rinsed in clear water,
and the rubbers and tops all be
taken equally good care of, so that
when they are needed next autumn
no loss may occur.
Many persons who are In the
habit of freshening mackerel, or
other salt fish, never dream that
there is a right way and a wrong
way to do it. Any person who has
seen the process of evapOrating
going on at salt works, knows that
the salt falls to the bottom. Just
so it is in pan where your mack
erel lies soaking; and as it lies
with the skin side down, the salt
will fall to the skin and there re.
main; when if placed with the
flesh down the salt falls to the bot
tom of the pan, and the fish comes
odt freshened as it should be. In
the other case it is nearly as salt
as when put in.

The Hog.

1t is often noticed and remarked
upon, that hogs will eat stone coal
with seeming good relish; and
with noticeably good results, and
it has been observed the stronger
sulphuric impregnatiOn, the more
eagerly is the coal deyoured, which
goes to show that sulphur ishealth-
full to the hog, and should be given
in moderate quantities, at all sea-
sons, but more especially during
the fattening season. A hog is
one Of the best aids farmer can
have to help turn his farm 20 goo d
account. Neither a barn yard nor
a pen is his realm. 1t is quee 7
that so many farmers make this
mistake aud wait on their hogs all
summer, and then complain that
there is no money in them. GIVE
a hog a chance and he will con-
sumo a great deal Of coarse ma
.erial, not excepting weeds or even
thistles, and turn them all into
money. lie will also make the
land rich faster than any other
animal if allowed to do so. Put
the hogs in the field aud keep them
there. No farm is complete in its
arrangements unless provision j:
thus made for the hogs.

COUNTRY ROADS.

The condition of a good share OF
the country roads throughout our
land occasion much complaint from
farmers, and ali others who are
compelled to travel over them.
The defects are many and grievous
in most cases. One trouble is, that
we have more roads that is really
necessary, and of course the more
highways we have the harder it is
to keep them in good shape. l
have seen farms bounded on all
sides by public highways, which is
clearly unnecessary, and when
there are so many roads to so over
the repairs are made in a temporary
manner and often neglected, and
the roads are allowed to get almost
impossible before anything is done
to them. The best remedy for this
is to close up every highway that
is not actually needed. 1t would
save considerable land, and the re-
pairs could then be made more
substantial add enduring. Good
roads are, beyond a doubt, economl-
cal for the farmers, even if they
are compelled to pay their share OF
the expense Of keeping them IN
good order, for with good level
roads and and well graded hills the
farmer can bring large, heavy loads
to town and it will not be near as
hard on his team as a lighter load
would be on bad, uneven roads, for
when the roads are well kept the
pull is a steady Interchangeable one,
and is not as tiresome on the horses
as lighter load would be, where
the travelling is up hill and down
and there are deep ruts in the road
which throws the wagon from one
side to the other, jerking and
worrying the horses, which makes
it very hard, indeed, for the team.
| have often thought that when the
roads are good the farmers could
be m uch more economical and save
time by putting side-5oards on
their wagons aud loading up very
heavy and hitch four or six horses
to draw the load to town. In this
way they could haul as much as
two or three ordinary teams could,
and they would save the expense Of
extra drivers, which would amount
to considerable in the course of a
years hauling.-Farmers Review.

HoW 10 Keen Chesinuts,

Here is a matter OF great interest
to the boys-big and little boys:
The chestnut is not strictly a fruit,
but thousands Of boys and girls
like to eat it in late fall or winter,
and many of them do not know
how to preserve it so that it shall
be pleasant eating in winter. Gener-
ally it soon becomes as dry and as
bard as marble, but this is unneces-
sary. When first gathered put the
nuts in a common bag-nOt paper
one-and expose them a few days
to the sun and air on some roof,
wood.pile or fence. Stir them over
occasionally, so that they do not
sweat and mold. They will be-
come a little witty, and when this
is the case uniformly and they seem
dry, hang them in the cellar-noI
in any chest or closet up stairs-sC
that no mouse, squirrel or rat car
reach them. If properly cured
they will mold in the cellar, while
above the cellar they will become
too hard for anybody's teeth.

THE BEST FEED FOR Pics
The best feet for weaned young
pigs is potatoes boiled and mashed
in the water in which they are
boiled, tbickened with barley meal.
This is given in reasonable quanti-
ties, and not to overfeed the pigs.
4 young pig of 20 or 30 pounds
needs no more of this food than a
pound a day, with a pint OF
skinmed milk. 1t Is altogether
wrong to give the pigs so much
food that they cannot hold any
more. This repletiOn leads to idni.
gestion and produces staggers and
paralysis Of the hind quarters f;
black teeth and other supposed
ailments follow from the disOrdered
stomach. 1t is easy to increase the
food If found necessary, bat not to
remove the iniary done BY giving
too much. AS the pig grows very
fast the food needs to be increased
in proportion. The 800 pound o
months pigs are never ovsrfed, but
just enough and no more. For a
800 pound pig 10 pounds of dry
feed is ample for one days feeding.
