er and more wholesome.
-Mouldiness is occasioned by the
growth of minute vegetation. Ink,
paste, leather and seeds most frequently
suffer by it. A Glove will prevent it; any
essential oil will answer equally WE'LL

The best grass tor an orchard is un-
doubtedly orchard grass with red clover.
or red clover alone. Plenty of seed
should be used. Cut when weeds make
their appearance, afterward pasture
with hogs or sheep. Western Rural.
"A farmer in Central New York,
where many beans are raised, SAYS the
best crops are produced when they are
planted in hills two feet apart each way,
and the soil worked with narrow Gull
tivator. He advises planting from five
to seven beans in hill.
To make good rusks take one pint
OF milk, one cup of yeast; mix it thin;
when light add twelve ounces of brown
sugar, two ounces of butter, four eggs,
flour sufficient to make stiff as bread;
when risen again, mold and spread it
on tins.-The Caterer.
A writer in the Poulry-Keeper
keeps what he calls homemade tino-
ture of iron" in bottle of water in
which a handful of rusty nails has
been placed. A little of this placed in
the hens drinking water adds greatly
to their health, he thinks, but it may be
doubted.
-Whitewash is to some extent dis
infectant, and should be used in cellar
and kitchen closets not less than once a
year, twice being better. A good white
wash is made of one peck of Stacked
riol, a pound of salt and half pound
of melted glue. the salt and glue keep
ing the wash from rubbing off. For
cellars the Stacked lime is sufficient

For milk pudding put one quart
of milk on where it will cook slowly.
Wash half teacupful of rice and stir it
into the milk, and occasionally stir
this until twenty minutes before using;
then put tablespoonful of sugar and
small piece of butter, and bake twenty
minutes. This, sometimes called poor
mans pudding, is wholesome and pal
atable. 1t is better to be three hours
in cooking g.-Boston Globe.
-Horseradish should be planted as
early in the season as possible, or just
as soon as the ground can be properly
prepared, and if large roots are desired
the soil can not be made too rich and
deep. In planting always use sets.
These are the rootlets or branches of
the main root, which are too small for
table use. They are cut into pieces
about four or five inches in length, and
in such manner that there will be no
danger in setting the roots upside down.
Sets planted upside down will never
make good roots.-Prairie Farmer.
Sweet Waters: Six eggs, one pint
flour; two ounces melted butter, one
and one-half cups powdered sugar, one
cup milk and one teasponful nutmeg.
Beat whites and yelks separately and
very stiff, rub the sugar and butter to-
gether, and work in first the yelks, then
the milk and then flour and whites.
Bake in well-buttered wafer or waffle
irons very quickly, browning as little as
possible. Roll them while hot upon a
smooth, round stick, not larger than
your little finger, slipping it out care
fully when the cake takes the right
shape. These little cakes are an ac-
ceptable addition to any tea or supper
table, and look well among fancy cakes
in asket.-Boston Budget.
