Stuffed Potatoes: Mince some cold
meat very fine and season it to taste.
Choose large potatoes of n size and
WOOL and core them, taking care not to
core them through. Fill them with the
minced meat and put them in a dish to
hake. with q cupful of water and a little
brIter or nice beef dripping. If the po-
tatocs are large they will require an
hour to bake; if small, half that time

Mr.. j. j. H. Gregory makes the
statement that the corn plant has the
of getting its nitrogen from the
aajr. We have, therefore, but to supply
potash and phosphate to the soil. For
three years the experiment has been
tried upon the poor-so1 plots of the
Rwa1 grounds. No matter how large
the quantity of potash and p~hosphoric
acid used, W. can not get q good crop
Without nitrogen.-RurM Ncw Yorker.
Milk should be strained at once
after milking. without being cooled or
shaken. Accurate experiments have
shown that shaking the milk, as in
carving it in a wagon, or reducing the
temperature several degrees before it is
set for cream, will lessen the amount of
butter. This would indicate that carry
ins milk to a cheese factory in a wagon
would be an advantage to the cheese, as
the cream would not rise so much while
the curd was forming.-7oleao Blade.
More than half of the diseases so
prevalent among farm horses are due
10 improper attention to the common
laws of sanitation, and farmers would
save many times the expense of a
properly constructed stable were they
to Try the experiment. The animals
that are so closely connected with the
successful working of the farm as
slredly deserve better care and atten-
ton than is usually given them. The
humane man will therefore see that they
have light, roomy, well-ventilated
stables. where disease will be far less
likely to enter.-M Y. Telegram.
Says a gossiper in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat: eyes, there is such a
thing as pen paralysis, sometimes called
writer's cramp,' and it is a very incon-
yenient affection. 1t is a weakness of
the nerves of the hand, caused by the
constant contact of metal, a kind of cleo
duccs uncomfortable trembling. Writers
who use steel-pens n great deal and tele-
graph operators are subject to it. 1T is
treated by electricity applied to the
nerve centers and by nerve tonics, and
readily yields. l have had it, but am in
affair way of recovery.
Pearl wheat: This is good as a vari-
alton on the oatmeal porridge for
breakfast. Take half q cup Of pearl
wheat, two cups of milk and four cups
of water, with a scant tcaspoonful of
salt. Let the milk and water boil up in
a sancepan on the stove, then stir in
the wheat and salt. Put the wheat in
the inside kettle of a steamer to cook,
pouring boiling water in the outside
the steamer stand all night on the back
OF the range, and in thu morning beat
1T up gradually just before serving.
This can also be done with oatmeal
