 Stale lard can be made sweet by bringing to boil, with slices of cold, :aw potatoes thrown in. The imPuri- lies will rise to the top and can be skinned off.
 Corn Fritters: Take two cups ot janred corn, and three eggs well beaten, d tablespoonful of milk; enough flour to make the batter just lrop from spoon, then fry in boiling lard.
 -Sardine Salad: Bone and skin some sardines and divide them into fllets; have ready some lettuce; put them in the center of the dish, put the illets all around, alternately with French olives washed and stoned.
 In case of burn or scald the best application is to dampen a soft cloth with a solution of baking soda, and lay It on the place. It quickly soothes the pain and reduces the inflammation.
 Comb honey keeps best in a warni, dry room-the temperature should not go below eighty degrees, and d little warmer would be even better. The whiteness of the comb would be better preserved in dark room. The honey will ''gather moisture when the tenn perature goes below sixty degrees.
 Knowledge of the amount desira- ble for each meal of each separate food must be acquired by practice and by studying approved works on dieta= ries. This knowledge can never be any thing more than approximate, for one child will be hearty eater. and another will only pick at food, but u good general estimate is soon arrived at by a little practice. ChrtStian ct Work.
 -Prune Pudding: Stone one-quarter of pound of prunes and stew them in just enough water to cover the fruit. Beat the whites of five eggs to a very stiff froth and beat in one-half cup Of powdered sugar. Add one quarter tea spoonful cream tartar and the same amount of salt. Add the prunes which have been chopped after being stewed. Put into an earthen pudding dish and bake for twenty-two minutes in a slow oven.
 The COWS to give plenty of milk must have grass. This is not neces- sary to get rich milk, but some succu- fence is always healthy and best. The worst rut of the American farmer is the corn rut. So long as an animal has plenty of corn the average farmer is content Not so. Expend the price of half of the corn in lighter and more ,ucculent foods, and the gain will be more in milk, growth, or in fattening. Over-feeding is very common, and it is always loss.
 Tea Biscuit: One quart sweet milk, one small tcacup of butter, one small teacup of sugar, one gill of good yeast, flour to make a sponge. Mix over night. When light stir in flour till the dough is of the proper consist ency; press the knuckles firmly into the middle of the dough till they reach the bottom of the bowl. and when it reaches a uniform oval it is ready to be worked over into biscuit. Knead twice, and when light the third time, bake in quick oven about twenty min- i utes.
 -The stalks of sweet corn, after be- ing ritied of their delicious grain, are generally left standing in the garden to dry out and become next to worth less, and any thing but an ornament to the premises. While mature. but yet succulent, and with the nubbins left on, they will come acceptable to milch COWS, and greatly increase the flow of the lacteal food. Utilize these stalks while in prime condition, and get them off the land. d.-F'drnr and Fire. side.
