Recipes.

hCIAHCSs
Hot POTATO SALAD.-Slice thin eight
boiled potatoes, cut up white onion
and mix with the potatoes; cut up some
bacon into small bits, sufficient to fill a
teacup, and fry it brown; remove the
meat and into the grease stir three table
spoonfuls of vinegar. Pour over the
potatoes and serve hot.
MILK BREAD.-Sift pound and half
of flour, one teaspoonful of sal half an
ounce of melted butter and two table
spoonfuls of baking powder; simmer
pint of milk, let it cool, make batter
with it, knead it with a plated knife,
shape it into loaves, let it stand an hour
in creased pans, covered, then bake in
quick oven.
OMELET.-A bread crumb omelet is ex-
cellent if served with roast lamb or veal ;
one pint of bread crumbs, large spoon
full of parsley, rubbed very fine, half of
a tiny onion chopped fine. Beat two
eggs light, add a teacup of milk, trace
of nutmeg, and pepper and salt literally /;
also, lump of butter, the size of small
egg. Mix all together and bake in a
slow oven, on buttered pie plate, and
serve at once.
APPLE SAUCE.-Apple sauce is very
nice if made in this way: Peel and core
some sour apples; remove the cores
without cutting the apples into pieces.
Make syrup of sugar and a very little
water; put the apples into this, and
cook them until you can pierce them
easily with broom splint; then take
them out of the syrup with spoon, or
with something that will not break or
cut them. Let the syrup boil until it is
quite thick; flavor it delicately with
vanilla, and pour over the apples.
MODERN STRAWBERRY SHoRT-CAKE.
The material for this cake are half a
cupful of butter, a cupful of sugar, three
cupfuls and a quarter of flour,
one of milk, three eggs, three tea
spoonfnls of baking powder, and the
juice of half lemon. Beat the butter
to cream, and gradually beat the sugar
into it. Add the lemon juice, the eggs,
well beaten, the mix and finally the flour,
mixed with the baking powder. Pour
the mixture into four tin pans, well but
tered, and bake in moderate oven for
twenty minutes. Hull and mash three
pints Strawberries, and mix them with
a cupful of sugar. Spread the berries
and sugar on two of the cakes, and over
the fruit spread whipped cream. Now
put the remaining two cakes upon the
first ones, and spread thin layer of
strawberries and sugar over each. Cover
with whipped cream, and serve. This
short-cake may be served either hot or
cold. If hot the cream should be whip
ped in advance of the baking Gt will re-
main frothy for hours if put in cold
place, and the berries should be ready
for sugaring when the cakes come from
the oven. But whether served hot CT
cold, the sweetening should not be put
to the fruit until just before the cake is
to go to the table. A pint of cream is
enough to whip for two short-cakes,

One HIGHER.

Two men, strangers to each other, sat
side by side in the Brush street depot
the other day. One was a corpulent,
pompous man, and the other understood
and humble-looking. A third man ap-
preached, and without looking directly
at either one inquired:
"Say, Major, will you tell me what
time the Niagara Falls train leaves this
side2"
Both men pulled out their watches and
made answer in chorus, but as they aid
so the pompous man turned in his seat
, and said:
81 suppose he was addressing me, as
he mentioned my title"
"Did you say Major2" asked the little
man of the inquirer.
II believe did,"
"Oh-ah! l beg a thousand pardons.
I understood you to say Colonel, and
supposed, of course, you meant me-"
The big man lost fifteen pounds OF
flesh in the next two minutes, and il
took twenty minutes hard walking under
the freight sheds to cool him off,

Farm and Garden Notes.


Save up manures.
Corn is warming food.
Bone dust suits potatoes.
Clear the paths after each storm.
Ferns need light but not sunshine.
Prune grapevines, trees and berry
bushes.
: Provide ample feeding room for all
animals.
For early pasture nothing is equal
to orchard grass.
Overcrowding and filth are the de-
struction of sheep and pigs.
A great deal of poor butter is caused
by the cream getting too cold.
Build safe, easy stairs where needed
in barns, and save breaking your bones
climbing dangerous ladders.
A good horse should not be old until
he is at least twenty, and won't be ii he
is properly treated and cared for.
Give quart of meal a day to each of
your young animals, and you will soon
be praising them to your neighbors.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Fruit.GrOwing.

In brief, some of the principal mistakes
made by those who attempt to grow fruit
are
l. A lack of practical knowledge.
2. DevOting too much land to one
fruit.
3. Setting more trees and plants than
circumstances will allow proper care for.
4. Neglect in cultivation.
8. Ignorance of the values of manures
and how to use them.
6. Selecting varieties which are not
adapted to the locality.
z. Purchasing inferior plants to save a
few dollars, which will surely be lost in
the end. Our Country Home.

who trees grating the tomato on potato
plant had a crop of tomatoes above
ground and one of potatoes underneath.
The latter, however, were not good, as
the potato leaves were needed to give
character and maturity to the crop.
Grass and clover seeds may be made a
good catch with oats, provided the lat.
ter are sown early and thinly. This
grain, however, is not as favorable for
seeding with as is barley, which is off
the land two or more weeks earlier, Civ
ing the young plants better chance TO
grow. 1t often happens that clover in
oats is all right until few days before
harvesting, when the oat roots suck out
all the moisture and leave the clover
catch to perish.
Much is said in the papers about breed
ing pure fowls; but probably the most
desirable as well as cheapest improve.
ments may be made by farmers them
selves in selecting eggs for setting from
the hens which are known to be the
best layers. In the same breed
there will be wide differences in this re.
spect, as every observing farmer knows.
Often the croSs-breed fowls will produce
specimens of extraordinary laying quail
ties, and by breeding from these this
desirable characteristic may be perpet-
uated.
In blowing field for corn, it is adj
visable to have as few dead burrows as
possible. The corn in these will not
generally pay for the labor of planting
and cultivating. Farmers generally be-
lieve this is because the dead furrow is
low and cold. An experiment has, how
ever, been reported, showing that where
the dead furrow rows were MANFRED
with nitrate of soda, the corn was no.
ticeably larger than on either side.
This shows how important nitrogenous
fertilizers are for corn, and of these
stable manure is one of the best.
