SMoTHERED CHICKEN.-When the
chicken is dressed ready for cooking,
split in the back and place fatty in a
covered pan, with dressing Of butter,
pepper and salt, and little -four, and
only water enough to produce steam.
1t will very soon become tender on ac-
count of Its smothered condition in the
oven, then leave the top or cover off
your pan until your chicken is light
brown, and you will have chicken not
so dry as a broiled one, and yet the
most delicate and tender way to cook

TIE common cause of failure in
growing potatoes is lack Of moisture
at the time the tubers are setting.
In well cultivated piece on a clover
sod plowed under in the spring moist
ure will be attracted TO the soil from
the aecaying sod. The loose soil holds
considerable air, which, as 1t cools, de-
posts moisture just as it does on the
outside Of a pitcher Of cold water in
hot weather. Too much rldging Of the
ground often makes potatoes failure.
What hill there Is should be broad at
the top and with the slightest possible
hollow between it and the next.
Weeds rob the potato plants, and are
more detrimental to this crop than to
any other.

A oas burner consuming four cubic
feet an hour produces more caroonie
acid in a given time than Is evoivea
from the respiration OF eight human
beings. Bear this in mind, you VINO
su3er from nervousness, that when you
have shut yourselves up in your rooms
and lighted an argand burner (which
consumes about twelve cubic feet OF
gas per hour) you are to all intents and
purposes immured with twenty-three
other persons, all taking oxygen from
the atmosphere. Is it any wonder that
after several hours exposure to the de-
prayed air your nerves should rebel, as
far as their weak state permits, and
that your head should ache, your hands
tremble, and that your daughters
playing on the piano almost drives you
wild?
An over-heated apartment always
enervates its occupants. 1t Is no un-
common thing to find rooms heated In
winter by an underground furnace up
to ninety degrees. Fights and murders
are more numerous in hot than In cold
weather, and the artidcially heated air
that rushes into our rooms, deprived as
it is of its unnatural moisture by the
baking 1t has undergone, is even more
productive Of vicious passions,
1t is no surprising circumstance,
therefore, to find the woman who swell
ters all day in such temperature and
adds to 1t at night by superduous bed
clothing. cross and disagreeable from
little everyday troubles, that would
scarcely rufile her temper If she kept
her room at sixty-6ve degrees and
opened the windows every now and
then.

SHEEP.-The surest way to ascer-
tain the age of sheep Is by their front
teeth. They are eight in number and
appear the first year all Of one size.
The next year the two middle teeth fall
out, and in their stead grow two large
ones. The third year smaller tooth
appears on each side of the two large
ones. During the next, or fourth
year, there are six large teeth. In the
fifth year all of the front teeth are
large. After that the only way to de.
termine the age Of sheep Is by the worn
appearance of the teeth.

A SANDY loan is rich in vegetable
matter and is one Of the best and most
productive soils we have. The great
trouble with most sandy soils is their
lack of vegetable matter they contain
nothing to absorb and retain moisture
and are consequently dry, and in their
natural state barren. They bear only
shrubs and brushes which serve to shade
the soil ; otherwise even these would
dry up and wither away. In imitation
of nature clover is the most profitable
crop for such soils.

MILK broths are great favorItes. and
are the best of food for young, grow
ing children. Milk broth proper IS
made of pearl barley and new or
SKINNED milk, with sugar to taste.
This is the way: A piece of fresh but
ter, the size of walnut, is put INTO
the broth pan and allowed to melt; then
the pan is turned about SO that the
oiled butter will run all over the bot
tom. This is done as a preventive
against the barley sticking to the bot
tom. A quarter pound Of washed
pearl barley is put In with three quarts
of milk. This is placed on a gentle
fire and allowed to boil. 1t IS now
drawn to the side and simmered very
gently for three hours, being stirred
occasionally to prevent the barley from
sticking to the bottom and getting
'singed." Before serving, add sugar
to taste.

A REMEDY FOR THE CATTLE
PLAGUE.-We see a statement made
by "a correspondent OF one of our eI-

State, concerning the cattle plague in
that portion. We learn that disease
probably similar TO this is raging in
the lower part of Montgomery county,
IN the neighborhood of Montgomery
Springs. For the benefit Of the public
we give the following, which is declared
to be certain cure:
Take of tobacco, lard. and coal oil
equal parts and mix thoroughly, and
apply externally and as nearly all over
the body as possible. This Is simple
remedy and can be tried by all with lit

MANURE.-It should be remembered
that the value of manure from all ami
! mails varies greatly with the character
Of the food, and that hog manure
should be so valued from the fact that
he is generally fed an grain, and that
he is also carnivorous, devouring dead
animals and grubs when running at
large, and when shut up in a pen eating
bones and refuse meats, bread and all
the refuse from the table. And all the
time that these refuses are making rich
manure they are also making meat and
taking all these advantages there is too
much profit for the farmer to lose and
he should save it.

Cement for Cast tIron.-Take parts

Pour out on an iron plate, or smooth
stone, and let 1t remain until cool, care
being taken not to jar 1t while cooling.
A sufficient quantity OF this compound
being placed upon the track, it can be
soldered by using red hot iron in the
same manner that a tinsmith uses a
soldering copper. II there is a hole in
the kettle, drive rivet in it and solder
over with this cement. If the cement
is wanted to mend stove. the follow
ing is a good receipt: Take one part
powdered sulphur, two parts sal-ammo-
MAC. eight parts clean, powdered iron
turnings. Add water sufficient to make
into a thick paste which should be
pressed into the holes or seams to be
filled up. The ingredients composing
this cement should be kept separate,
and not mixed until wanted for use.
1t is to be applied cold, and the article
should not be used for two or three
days after mending.

GREEN FooD FOR WINTER.-How
to secure the necessary supply OF green
food for fowls during the winter Is an MI
portant question to every poultry-keep-
or. We have saved the clippings made

eaten by the fowls during winter with
evident relish. A correspondent of the

following plan: In the latter part OF
August l SOW a piece of rye quite
thickly and by fertilizIng 1t freely get 1t
about eighteen inches high-a green
mass OF vegetation. When frozen hard
and Just before the snow covers 1t
cut it and pack 1t in an outbuilding,
where it will keep frozen. In this con-
iition it will take no injury and be
always available for use A few mo-
ment's exposure to warm air will fit it
Tor feed, when it is chopped line and
led to the fowls. A free use OF this
rye alternating with boiled potatoes and
turnips, together with refuse cabbage.
which can be had cheaply, and plenty
If exercise, will always produce fertile
eggs, the other conditions being right
say about thirty healthy, we'll developed
pullets with two vigorous young cock
