where many beans are raised, saws the
best crops are produced when they are
planted in hills two feet apart each way.

-Whitewash is to some extent a 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
lime, q pound and a half of white Wit
riol, a pound of salt and half u pound
of melted glue, the salt and glue keep
ing the wash from rubbing off. For
cellars the Stacked lime is sufficient

For a milk pudding put one quart
of milk on where it will cook slowly.
Wash half a teacupful of rice and stir it
into the milk, and occasionally stir
this until twenty minutes before using;
then put a tablespoonful of sugar and a
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.-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 Oh five inches in length, and
in such a manner that there will be no
danger in setting the roots upside down.
Sets planted upside down will never
make good ots.-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 we'll among fancy cakes
in a basket.-Boston Budget.
