When the burners of lamps be-
come clogged with char, put them in
strong soft-soap suds, and boil awhile
to clean them.-N. Y. Mail.
If you are troubled with white
specks in butter. stir the cream every
morning before it is churned, and the
white specks will not appear.-Troy
Times.
Many farmers maintain that owing
to the price of labor they can buy corn
cheaper than they can raise it, but,
says the Rural Home, by raising it
large quantity of fodder is obtained,
thus enabling the farmer to feed more
cattle, to make more manure and con-
sequently the next year to make more
corn.
Novelty Pie: The habitual pie
eater must have variety; to help make it
try this recipe: Mix one egg. one
heap;ng teaspoonful of flour, one tea
cupful of sugar, one teacupful of cold
water. one teaspoonful of sharp Vine
gar; flavor with nutmeg or cinnamon,
with a little mace, and bake with two
crusts.-Boston Budget.
--Rhubarb Pudding: Prepare the
stalks as for pies; cover the bottom of
buttered pudding dish with slices of
bread and butter; cover with the rhu-
barb cut in short pieces; sprinkle
abundantly with sugar; then put on
another layer of bread and butter and
rhubarb. until the Dish is full. Have
plenty of sugar on the top. Cover so
as to steam while baking half an hour.
Remove the cover and brown nicely.
Eat with any hot sauce.-Ihe House

1t is observed that the skin or scum
which rises on milk when it is scalded
Is not cream but casein or cheesy SUBJ
stance. This scum should be taken OFF
before the milk is set away for the
cream to rise, or else the cream will
rise up under it and the scum will be-
come Incorporated in the cream and so
pass into the butter. where it will make
white specks and injure its flavor. This
is for those who practice scalding their
milk in the winter season.-Aibany
Journal.
A simple and very effective lotion
for preventing the premature loss of
the hair can be made as follows: Take
three ounces of pulverized sage and
turn pint of cold. soft water over it;
have it in tin dish with cover; let it
steep over the fire ten or fifteen min
utes; strain it off and add teaspoonful
of pulver zed borax and the same guam
tity of salt. Keep in tight-corked
bottle and apply with sponge or soft
cloth by rubbing gently all over the
head; then brush lightly. Use it night
and morning. Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The best mixers are not beef-fat,
nor should they be burdened with SUI
perfluous flesh. And yet it is a mis-
take to suppose that their condition is
q matter of no consequence. To Sc, a
herd of COWS no more than animated
| shadows is an indication of a poor
fe1 with milk-producing food. with
sufficient flesh-forming properties to
maintain high state of physical vigor.
1t is hardly the thing to have to lean q

Veal outlets prepared in this way
| are palatable: After trimming the cut
| lets nicely, dip them in melted butter
and dust them well with a mixture of
equal parts of grated Parmesan cheese
and bread crumbs. Then dip them in
beaten egg and dust them again on
both sides with the cheese and crumb
mixture and fry them brown. Boil
half pound of macaroni, and after it
is drained add two ounces of butter and
a cupful of tomato sauce, some grated
Parmesan cheese and salt to taste. Let
this become thoroughly hot, stirring
occasionally. Put in the centre of q
dish and place the outlets around it,
