this pair of moderate stimulants were
lost from off the face of the earth to-
day and forever they would not take
away an ounce of physical prosperity.
They have no mission, do no good
are simply cumberers of the table that
add to nothing save expense. -Dacegl-

If any large stones or stumps are
in clover or grass fields, and can not
be got out before harvest, they should
be marked by going through the field
and placing a pole well set in the
ground. BY so doing a mOwing-ma-
chine knife may be saved, and thus
several dollars and much loss of w lua-
BILE time saved.
MILAN Cake: Half pound of sift-
ed flour, a quarter of a pound of but
ter, six ounces of sugar, two table
spoonfuls of thick sour cream and one
egg. Make a paste of these ingredi-
mond-shaped pieces. Glaze with egg,
and bake in hot oven. When cold,
place bit of jam or jelly in the center
of each and serve.
Starch enters largely into the COM
position of many vegetables, and on
the prevalence of this element depends
the digestibility of the vegetable. To
free this element and have it thorough
ly incorporate itself with the other ele-
ments in the vegetable a great amount
of heat is necessary, and hence it is
that all vegetables should be put down
to cook in boiling water.
Tt pioca and sage make good cold
deserts, combined with berries or fruit.
Oranges cut up small and stirred into
one cup of tapioca that has boiled
clear, and been sweetened, are an at
tractive dish. Served with sugar and
cream, raspberries, peaches, strawber-
ries and cherries make variety of the
same dish. -
Plenty of digestible food, and two
hours stolen from the middle of a busy
day are the best remedies for nervous
exhaustion. Frequent feeding, such
as tumbler of milk, or a bowl of
bouillOn every two hours is strongly
advised. In these days of extracts OF
beef, mutton, chicken, clam, etc,
there is no need for any one who can
pay for them to go hungry. -AmericGn

lit will take at least five pounds OF
corn fed to pig in pen to make one

all the grass it will eat, one pound of
corn fed to pig will make it thrive,
and two pounds a day will cause it to
fatten. The grass system is the cheap

DO not attempt to use kerosene
and water together, as the two liquids
will not mix. Hence, some plants may
be sprayed with pure kerosene, and
others with the water. If the kero.
sene be first mixed with milk or soap
suds, and water then added, an emul-
sion may be obtained that will be well
mixed. Many plants are often killed
by improper modes of making the
emulsion, and too much care in regard
to the use of kerosene can not be taken.
To prevent the work of the borer
on peach trees the Farm and Home
recommends that all the earth around
the trees be cleared away for foot in
diameter on each side of the trunk aud
down to the roots. Kill any borers that
may show evidence of being present.
and then paint the tree to eight inches
! above the ground with mixture com
posed of three pints fish oil, three pints
soft soap, two pounds whale-Oil soap
and two pounds sulphur and return the
earth TO the roots.
