HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

kerosene Is cheap, and single
lamp will do wonders in small plant
room to keep out frost.
Hardy roses which are not pro-
tected this winter with straw or other
covering around the tops will need
more severe pruning in the spring than
those which have been protected. This
will be a good point to remember later
on. american Garden.
All receptacles of milk. after being
thoroughly washed, SO as to look clean,
still need to be immersed, for five
minutes at least, in boiling water, as,
when not so taken care of, there is a
substance left that is liable to poison
the next milk placed therein.
There can be no more certain and
positive indication of the success and
wealth in store for the farmer of Da-
kota than is displayed by the progress
OF the past three years toward diver
sity of crops. 1t means that he has
become stock-raiser as well as tiller
of the soil.
Carrots act directly on the liver,
and therefore young carrots plainly
boiled, or carrot soup, which is made
of older carrots boiled and pulped
through sieve into weak stock, are
extremely wholesome. Tomatoes
stimulate the liver and the stomach
generally. i
Beef Jelly.-Take about one pound
of lean, JUICY beef, cut it into small
pieces, putinto cold water and let soak
for one hour. Then put on the fire
with one pint of water, seasoning with
salt, pepper and little celery seed, and
let it stew until reduced two-thirds;
strain ON few blades of mace. Serve
hot.
Ito economic hay an excellent au-
thority suggests: 1.-TWO pounds of a
mixture of middlings, bran, ground
oats and corn, of equal parts, added
to twenty-four pounds of straw or
corn-fodder, will give more growth
than twenty-five pounds of the best
timothy, and costs about half as much.
Fowls are machines to produce
eggs and flesh, and we might as well
expect cloth from a factory that has
no wool or cotton as to expect eggs
from hens not supplied with food.
Liberal feeding means liberal profits;
neglect means loss of what you do give
them. AS rule, feed well or kill the
flock. This should be the rule, for the
results is as sure to follow as day is
sure to follow sunrise.
Baked Omelet. Take six eggs,
three even spoonfuls of -four little
salt, and beat them we'll together-the
more it is beaten the lighter it will be
then add one pint of hot milk and
keep on beating. Have a hot dish
with some melted butter the size of an
egg, and put into the oven. Bake
twenty minutes, and eat it when it
comes from the oven, for it will fall
soon. This is very nice for breakfast.
"A bee man says that by placing
your ear close to a hive twelve or
twenty-four hours before the second
swarm issues. you will hear the shrill
voice of the queen. 1t is called voice,
but it is the vibration of the wings.
The sounds are ''p-e-e-p-p-e-e-p-
peep-peep." The next nearest ma
tured queen yet imprisoned in the
cells will answer "Quack-quack-
quack." Whenever you discern these
sounds, if the day is fine you may look
out for the swarm.
Good strong vinegar may be made
to best advantage from cider. Partly
fill cask with apple juice or old cider
and place it in warm, airy and sunny
building, leaving the bung out of the
cask. Never put it in a cellar, except
to keep it from freezing. If cider can
not be obtained, use sour beer, and
feed occasionally with molasses and
water, exposing to air and heat, the
same as cider. When strong enough
to use, feed the stock cider, or molas-
ses and water, in proportion to the
quantity drawn off to use. In this way
you will always have good and whole
some vinegar.
