Canned Goods.

The GrOcerS' Chronicle insists that
the fact that canned goods are cooked
goods can not be too widely known or
carefully remembered by users. They
are not put up in vessels from which
they are TO be eaten when convenient
to consumers, but are only packed in
tins in order to preserve them. No
canned goods are guaranteed to keep
fresh and remain sound for any num-
Der of days after being opened. When
opened the contents of the tin should
be Immediately turned out and eaten
as soon as possible. If the food must
be kept at all, cover it up and keep in
cool place; always, however, turn out
of the original tin. The liquor around
HOLSTERS, salmon, and all vegetables ex-
cepting tomatoes, it is desirable to strain
off and throw away. HOLSTERS are i'm
proved by being turned out into a sieve
and rinsed with clean, cold water.
Never on any account add vinegar,
sauce or any kind of condiment to
canned foods while they are in the tins.
All timed goods are put up as fresh as
is possible, but unless corned or sailed
will not keep turned out as freshly
cooked goods will, and certainly not
longer, as many thoughtlessly suppose
or expect they will. Sardines, if pre-
served in good oil and if of good quality,
will be an exception; as long as the oil
is good the fish can be kept in the tins,
but seven days is long enough to trust
these before eating. Consumers should
not buy larger packages of canned
goods than they can consume quickly;
if they should, most of the fish and
meats can be potted after recooking,
sauces and seasoning being used. If
the nose and eyes are properly used, it
is as impossible to partake of an un-
sound tin of canned food of any kind
as to partake of bad meat, fish or veg
etables from a shop.

Some of My FayOrite Flowers.

/ have often thought that if / could
have only one kind of flower for grow
ing out-of-doors it would be the pansy.
1t blossoms early and it blossoms all
the time with me until winter, and even
then there are blossoms under the
snow" In some places the plants do
not winter well and it is good plan to
start them early in the house. Seed
sown the LIST of March will make plants
large enough to set out as soon as the
ground can be put in readiness for
them in the spring. Nearly all the
seed catalogues tell us not to SOW our
seeds until the ground is warm and dry,
but nearly all the flowers that l grow
do best if sown early. One of the first
things to be planted should be sweet
peas. Plant them early, plant them
deep and plant goodly quantity. A
lady once asked me: What do YOU
suppose is the reason that my peas
didn't blossom any longer? Why"
she said, " they were pretty only little
while" The trouble was she planted
them for show and did not pick the
blossoms. The vines were fairly loaded
with pods. If you want a plant that
will make the most show, plant the
single petunia. A petunia-bed, once
established, will perpetuate itself year
after year if you will keep the weeds
out. Another nice annual is the phlox
l usually SOW these where they are to
bloom. They come up quickly and
blossom when quite small. Candy-tuft,
too, is very pretty plant, especially
the white; but if you want it to keep
in bloom all summer you must keep
picking the blossoms. Asters are nice
when they grow well, but / can do
nothing with them-at least l have
given up trying. If the roots are not
loaded with white lice the tops will be
with blue ones, and / abominate lousy
plant. Pansies, petunias, phloX and
candy-tuft will sow themselves, and if
they have half chance will grow on
in the same place year after year.

any other animal food. Kings eat
them plain as readily as do the humble
tradesman. Far more than fish-for it
is a watery diet-eggs are the scholars
fare. They contain phosphorus, which
is brain-food, and sulphur, which per-
forms variety of functions in economy.
And they are the best nutriment for
children, for, in compact form, they
contain everything that is necessary
for the growth of the youthful frame.
Eggs are, however, not only food; they
are medicine also. The white is the
most eflicacious of remedies for burns,
and the oil extractable from the yolk is
regarded by the Russians as an almost
miraculous salve for cuts, bruises and
scratches. A raw egg, if swallowed in
time, will effectually detach fishbone
fastened in the throat, and the white of
two eggs will render the deadly corro-
sive sublimate as harmless as a dose of
calomel. They strengthen the con-
sumptive, invigorate the feeble and
render the most susceptible all but
proof against jaundice in its most ma
lignant phase. The merits of eggs do
not even end here. In France alone
the wine-clarifiers use more than So
100000 year, and the Alsatians con-
sumo fully $4,000, 900 in calico-p printing
and for dressing the leather used in
making the finest French kid gloves.
Even egg-shells are valuable, for alopath
and hom9opath alike agree in regarding
them as the purest of carbonate of
lime.--EdStern Farmer.

WOman's Age.

"What is the most interesting age
in woman?" was a question recently
discussed by an artist, an author and
woman of society. The artist said
that he did not like to paint the por-
traits of those between the ages of
twenty-five and forty years. Before
twenty-five the face has an expectancy
which charms. 1t is looking forward
with joyous freshness and hope and is
full of puzzling promises. AT forty
years the character is formed and the
lines of the countenance are strong for
the painters study, but in intervening
years the face has lost its expectancy, is
apt to be Indifferent and has no par
ticular interest. The author differed
from the artist. He liked to study
women between the ages of thirty and
forty. They had then the experience
of the world and the joyousness of
youth. In those years they were bright
est and most interesting, The society
woman thought that it was impossible
to make general answers to the ques-
ton, as individual women differ in re-
gard to the most attractive age. Some
are most charming at sixty years, while
others have passed their prime at
twenty. The best answer would be
that women are always beautiful to
the friends who love them. --BOStOn

A MiscOnstructed Poultry House.

/ recently saw on gentleman's estate
an expensive poultry-house just ready
for occupancy. 1t stands on a gentle
slope of naturally-drained soil of the
very best quality for poultry-run and
such as not more than one poultry man
in thousand can find upon his prem
ises. But instead of giving the fowls
the benefit of better natural floor than
all the skill of man has ever devised,
the house is set on posts from one to
three feet above the ground and pro-
vided with plank floor. OF course
the house can never be so warm in cold
weather nor so cool in warm weather
as if built on the ground and without the
floor. Besides, there are other dis
advantages from this construction too
numerous for mention now. There is
a great deal more glass in the sunny
side than is in any manner conducive
to good result. There may not be
sufficient heat from the sun at any time
in the winter to produce any i'll effect
of itself; but the large surface of glass
causes rapid cooling of the air within
the house as soon as the sun leaves it,
and the difference in temperature be-
tween midday and the next morning
must always be very great-Often in
bright, cold weather as much as sixty
TO eighty degrees. A tall window al
ways cools off an apartment good deal
more rapidly than low one, because,
in the first place, it comes in contact
with the higher and warmer part OF the

agricultural.
Don't Dare to DO 1t.

1t seems that the Holstein men don't
dare to do it, "In late ISSUE" says
the Maine Farmer, ave referred to a
challenge from the Tennessee Jersey
breeders to the Holstein breeders of
the United States to match twenty
Jersey cows selected in Tennessee with
the same number of Holsteins from any
state in the Union in trial for SUI
premacy in butter-making. This chal-
lenge was drawn out by the loud boasts
of the Holstein breeders over the VIC
tory last spring at the New York dairy
show of Holstein cow taking the prize
for the greatest yield of butter in a
single day at the fair Long and loud
has the claim been since sounded that
Holstein cows were the champion but
ter-producers as well as deep mixers.
At a meeting of the Holstein breed
ers at Chicago, during the fat stock
show in November, committee was
chosen to consider this challenge and
reply to the same. Their report has
just been given to the public. With
a rehearsal of weak reasons they refuse
to accept the challenge, thus squarely
backing out of the position they have
been claiming with so much of boast
and buster. In this refusal they are
wise, though after so much Dragging it
must be humiliating. Without doubt
the Holstein breeders are fully aware
that in profitable butter production they
can not match the Jerseys in a fair test.
1t will now be time to stop the unwar-
ranted boasting and let the Holsteins
stand on their admitted ground of SUI
periority as milk-producers. This alone
is merit enough to command attention.
The country is too intelligent to be
misled with the idea that any one breed
of stock can stand far in advance of
others in the several points of excel
lence which give breeds their distinct
i've characteristics.
