Salmon is considered the most
nutritive of all fish.
-Whena good many things are to
be prepared the cook should have
every thing weighed and measured
before commencing.
Give potatoes that you want to
mature early soil already rich or feed
them with well-rotted manure.
The human organism is savings
bank for the elements of vital strength,
and in the form Of fresh air it accepts
the smallest deposits. -Fsliz L. Os-

Cheese that seems dried up and
unfit for the table, can be made very
palatable by grating it fine on horse
radish crater. Prepare only as much
as is needed for Immediate use.
The common white clover grows
wherever our red clover is found. and
makes an excellent pasture grass.
Where bees are kept it is invaluable,
as it furnishes a large amount of
honey of excellent quality.

pasture. For that reason it is better
to we'll manure old pastures, and keep
the stock eff. so as to renew them,
than to plow the sod under and at
tempt to begin a new pasture. The
harrow may be passed over the
pasture where it can be done. and the
ground reseeded, but the manure is
the most important adjunct.
Strawberry Cream: Pass about
half pot of strawberry jam, or a
pound of fresh straw berries through
sieve, whip up pint of cream, add
the strawberry juice. sweeten if neces-
sary, dissolve half-ounce of isinglass
in little milk. mix with it, stir we'll
together, turn into a mould and let it
set In warm weather it will require
ice.
Lemon Sponge: Soak one ounce of
gelatine in one pint of boiling water
until dissolved. then add half pint
more of boiling water. and the juice
of three lemons and sugar to taste;
when thoroughly mixed. beat to
white froth. and add the whites of
four eggs we'll beaten; beat altogether
until quite stiff; put in a mould and
set ON ice.
"A disease called "black rot is
attacking the vineyards in the United
S! ates with destructive effect. Some
vineyards that had been very product
i've and profitable have been destroyed
by the "black rot'' within four years.
1t threatens to- be as destructive as
the phylloxera was to the French
vineyards. The question anon g grape
growers is. What is the remedy for the
'black rot?"
Why have any dry fodderP Why
not put all the grass into the silo and
cut all the grain with stalks? This
question is often asked Why not feed
the members of the family entirely on
canned goodsP Both questions can be
answered alike. Animals, as we'll as
men, need variety. Cattle like
little dry hay with their silage, and
there are many ways IN which it is
cheaper to feed dry grain alone.
Again. hay is a good crop to sell when
the silo is in proper operation.
What a radical and wholesome
change 1t will be in American farm
ing. says an exchange. when sheep
will be kept for the good they do on
the farm. On this basis there will be
no stinting in food and shiftlessness in
their care and management and these
attentions will beget a desire for the
best. 1t costs so little to have good
flock of sheep that there is no excuse
for any farmer not availing himself of
these efficient and cheap aids.
