HOME AND FARM.

When broiling steak throw little
salt on the Goals and the blaze from
dripping fat will not annoy.
"A properly soup or broth
Is digested and assimilated almost as
soon as eaten. American housekeep-
ers do not appreciate the hygienie and
economic value of soup.
The fact is noteworthy that all
the countries where cows exceling for
milk and butter have been developed
have rather moist climates and consid-
cradle green food in winter.
Japanese Plum Pudding: One-half
cup of butter, one cup each of sweet
milk, mOlasses, currants and stoned
raisins chopped fine, one teaspoonful
each of soda and cloves, two teaspoon
fuls of cinnamon, three cups of flour.
and one teaspoonful of baking powder.
Boil three hours.
Good tillage is important, not only
as it serves to exterminate weeds, to
facilitate the digestion of vegetable food
and to mix and incorporate this food
with earthly matters, but as it breaks
and mellows the soil, and enables the
roots of plants to range freely in search
of this food.
The origin of the rose jars now so
fashionable is quite romantic. They
started in Turkey centuries ago, and no
harem is complete without them. They
are also much used in India. The rose
jars of to-day are in hundreds of styles
and cost from fifty cents to a hundred
dollars apiece.
Sweet Potatoes: 1t is Southern
fashion to serve sweet potatoes in the
following way: Boil the potatoes until
soft, peel and slice lengthwise, place
on a buttered baking plate and sprin-
kle over little sugar and a very little
butter, and brown in the oven.
Experiments show that only about
timothy are digested. In the case of
clover hay, the result is very nearly
the same, the only difference of any
account being in the fact that clover
hay furnishes about twice as much of
protein compounds as the timothy.
1t requires steady but strong and
active horses to mark field in straight
lines, or to strike out a back furrow as
it should be. A team that is too weak
for this work will turn and twist to re-
ieve the strain ON their shoulders, and
the best drivers can not do work with
such team as it should be done.
To Boil Salmon: Brush the whole
surface of the fish over with vinegar or
lime-juice to prevent the skin from
bursting. Whilst doing this, the fish
is held in the eye sockets by the
thumb and middle finger of the left
hand. A fish-kettle of properly sailed
boiling water should be ON the stove.
Put the fish in, let the water boil up
once, and then gently simmer the fish,
allowing ten minutes to the pound.
Peach Pudding: Sift one pin t of
flour with teaspoonful of baking
powder, rub in ten teaspoonsful of but
ter, make soft dough, with sweet
milk; spread one-half of it over the
bottom of baking dish. Slice half
dozen large ripe peaches, spread over
the dough, and cover with dough.
Steam until done. Serve with sauce.
Stale eggs are called ''sick" and
are not fit to be eaten if they do not
readily leave the shell, and the yelks
break easily. A fresh egg is alive,
so an exchange says, and it breathes
and maintains a circulation as really
S does developed chicken. Even
eggs are invaded by germs, and symp-
toms allied to cholera or cholera NOR
bus are produced from using stale eggs.
