Rice cakes are dainty. Half cup
of cold boiled rice, the same of corn
meal, ore egg. bit of butter, salt and
sugar: milk to make rather thin bait

upt to stick.-The Cook.
There is no use in trying to fatten
aalf-grown chicks. There will be a
great difference in the condition of
chicks of different breeds at the same
age, but until well matured they will
not fatten.-Cincinnati Times.
Nice Fruit Cake: Six eggs, half a
cup of milk, one cup of sugar, one pint
of molasses. three cups of butter. one
teaspoonful Of soda, spices to suit
taste, raisins. currants, citron and
flour. This cake is very rich and will
keep long time.-ChriStion Union.
"A correspondent of the Farm and
Garden says: MY grapes were rotting
badly. At one time thought l should
lose half of them. I showered them
with preparation made of carbolic
acid One-fourth ounce and water twelve
quarts. This was very effective, ard
stopped the rotting at once"
Baked Onions: Boil the onions
slightly in water; cut in halves, and
take out the centers. Fill the cups
with a stuffing of bread-crumbs moist
ened with an egg and little butter;
season with grated cheese, pepper and
thyme. Bake in quick oven, with
little gravy to prevent from burning

Green Pea Soup: Take one can Of
green peas, boil them in two quarts of
water until tender enough, so that they
can be easily reduced to a pulp; strain
off the liquor, mash the peas, put
the liquor and peas together again
in the stewpan, add little parsley or
mint if you like it, stew it well and boil
eight minutes. Strain the soup and

INFLUENZA IN SHEEP.
Simple Remedies for the Cure of the
Troublesome Complaint.

simple Remedies for the Cure of the
Troublesome Complaint.
In reply to correspondent we would
say that influenza in sheep is not in
fictitious. 1t is often supposed to be
because it depends upon conditions
that are apt to exist over wide range
of territory and hence many sheep may
be affected at the same time. 1t is an
inflammation Of the membranes of the
nose and bronchial passages. The eyes
are red and watcry, more Or less fever
is present, there is marked weakness
and the system generally is out of Or
der. The animal has no appetite. the
nose runs, there is cough, indigestion
and impaction. After cold and damp
weather, it is observable frequently,
and is always more severe on low, wet
undrained land. When sheep are
upon such land and are attacked,
they should be removed to higher
and dryer land. When possible they
should be given oil-meal. Again we
desire to say that oil-meal is one of the
best things in the world to feed to
sheep. 1t is not only good food, but it
is good medicine, as it acts as tonic
and keeps the bowels and digestion in
order. If oil-meal is fed feed it with
oats or rye or buckwheat. If the dis
ease assumes severe character give
the following purgative: Epson salts
half ounce, ginger one dram. Give it
in little water, say quarter Of pint.
If flock is affected mix the medicine
n bulk according to the above pre-
scription and, taking a horn, adj
minister a quarter of pint to each
animal. Ii any are very seriously af-
fected they will need something to al
lay the fever quickly and to stimulate
In such cases administer the following
tincture of acOnite, ten drops; solu-
ton OF acetate of ammonia, one
ounce. This ought to be given every
five hours, but the aconito should be
decreased by one drop at every dose
until not more than five drops are
given.
Sometimes the eyes are so much in
famed that they require treatment. and
should be washed with solution of one
grain Of sulphate of zinc and twenty
drops of laudanum in an ounce of wa
ter. When the disease has disappeared
feed loosening and very nutritious
foods. such us bran mashes, boiled
oats and little corn mush occasional
~. The stimulants will need to be
kept up in some shape, and in the food
sprinkle a little powdered ginger or
gentian. or administer in honey, if the
medicine is not readily taken by the
anielal in its food. Keep well sheltered
while treating the animal with this dis
ease.-W Western Rural

TABLE MANNERS.
Refinement at the Table q Mark Of Good
Breeding.

tSe00eme0I 8C inc 1ADA0 - SAoEA Va 0OOO
Breeding.
Refined table manners mark not only
good breeding, but good feeling; and
whatever else in the day is to be hur-
ried, the dinner is not. 1t takes time
to enjoy delicate flavors, and to appre-
ciate those dishes which ought to be
real works of art, not only in order
that the gastric juice may have time to
thoroughly mingle with the food, but
that we may rise from the level of the
animal to that of higher order of
being. Health, happiness, harmony
wait on our habits, which affect our
mental condition more than we can
well realize. Bad temper is frequently
nothing but another name for indiges-
ton. Irritability, peevishness and dys-
pepsia are the certain results of bolt
ing food when the body is weary and
the mind preoccupied. Then follow
hasty words, rasping temper-gloom
and fault-finding, and peace fees from
the threshold. The sunniest DISPOSE
ton, the most affectionate heart, can
not withstand the wear of years, and
two lives, which might have blended
together beautifully, are sundered as
far as though an ocean rolled between.

A CONGRESS OF HUMORISTS,
A Little Book, Full of valuable Informal
ton and Rich Humor.


With the advent of every year there
come new inventions, new discoveries
and new ideas, but certainly there
could be no happier idea than has been
carried out in a little book, a copy of
which we have just received. To il the
best humorists and comic artists of
America have contributed, and when.
for example, we find the rich humor of

ly be understood that the work is of the
most original character. M Quad"

cough in morning, or on first lying down at

afflicted with consumption are proverbially

bad digestion and imperfect assimilation of

Though petroleum is found il

Though petroleum is found in
many parts of the world none has been
discovered so valuable for Illuminating
purposes as the Pennsylvania product.
One curious proof of this fact is the de-
mand for empty oil packages in the
European markets. The Austrian and
Russian dealers buy them and refill
them, carefully preserving the Ameri-
can brand. They are resold as con-
tanning refined oil from the United
States, and the quality of American oil
is thus brought into undeserved disre-
putc.-PiHsburgh Post.

A Washington special to the Picayune
says: Mr.. Gay has prepared and will Of
fer at the earliest opportunity bill for
the relief of the flood sufferers at John
sons Bayou in October last. The dis
tress is great among the people whose
property was destroyed, and Mr.. Gay
will name in his bill an amount sufficient
to relieve the wants of the needy if Con-
gress should see fit to pass the measure.
In the House to-day Mr.. Gay introdu-
ced a resolution authorizing the Missis-
sippi River Commissioners to use Sl000,-
600 or more if necessary, to repair the
damage at Plaquemine, caused by the
caving in of the banks of the river. The
funds are to come out of the appropria-
ton available.
Mr.. Gay has had talk with Major
Harrod, of the commission, who thinks
that the work ought to be done. but was
unwilling to go ahead without the sane
ton of Congress.
There's every reason to believe that
the permission will be granted, and Mr..
Gay and the Southern members will do
all in their power to have the resolution
favorably and speedily acted upon.
