according to a recent discussion a
grass, IN order to be most valuable for
pasture, must possess the following
characteristics. BE well suited to the
locality, both as to soil and climate; nu-
trltlous, palatable, capable of growing
continuously, SO as to constantly renew
its foliage when cropped: endure the
tramping of animals, and be easily pro-
pagated.- Chicago Journal.
The Art Amatemr gives the follow
ing directions for making linen work
smooth and ever when it is finished:
"Dampcn it all over at the back with Il
sponge, and then stretch it tightly and
evenly, face downward on a board, or
pin it out on a nailed carpet with a clean
cloth underneath it. When the work,
as well rs the linen, is quite dry, it may
be taken up, and if the edges show the
pin marks they can be smootlled with
the fingers. When linen work is washed
it must be treated in the same way"
Chickens often get forked pieces of
bone fast in the throat, nearly starving
with plenty of feed before them; and no
matter how tame the fiocks usually are,
when a hen is affected this way she will
scarcely allow herself to be caught, but
in running and lodging about to elude
you she may herself dislodge the OBJ
struction, if it is only slight. When
chicken bones are thrown out with the
table refuse, it is perhaps best to have
the children chop them up with an old
Ratchet, as the hens are SO fond of them
that in their eagerness they swallow
them hap-hazard.-Cleucl0ze Leader.
Mutton Cakes: The remains of a
cold roast or boiled leg of mutton that
has been rarely cooked will be most de-
Hclous if prepared as follows: Chop the
meat as fine as possible and mix it with
half as much fine bread crumbs and a
quarter as much beef suct, also chopped
very fine and freed from strings. Put
these ingredients into q bowl, with a
cupful of minced oysters (fresh ones, of
course, are best, but the canned mes
may be used), add q seasoning of thyme,
marioram, pepper, salt and little pow
dered mace; mix with two ~well-beaten
eggs for a pound of the cold mutton;
stir until it forms a stiff paste; form into
balls or sausages and fry.-Montreal
