Farm and Stock Notes.

Butter used in cooking needs to be as sweet
as any other.
In buying dairy cows look out for those
which give large returns for food consumed.
There is no labor that will pay better than
working over green manure till it is fine,
| and mixing something with it to prevent it
becoming lumpy again.
Be careful in burning out the apple-tree
worms with kerosene, as the limbs of the
trees may be injured II rightly done,
| however, there is no better mode of de
srroying the worms than to burn them in
the nests
Keep the calves growing Justify. Teach
| them to eat oats at an early age. A calf
will never get lily over the bad effects of
| having been stunted and starved through
| even a comparatively short perlod of its
| life.
Do not use kerosene or other irritating oils
| on the bodies of animals to destroy insects
or lice. Common ard-oil is as good as any
thing else, as all kinds of grease is fatal to
insects Flavor the lard-oil with spoonful
of oil of pennyroyal.
| Do not allow the young trees to bear fruit
the first and second years The production
| Of fruit will be at the expense of growth.
| The peach will often bear the second year
after planting. If kept back in that respect
| it will be in better condition for fruiting the
next season.
An English authority computes that in
the last three or four years more pigs have
died in the United States from cholera than
have been raised in the British Isles. Won
der if the methods of feeding for some years
III vogue in this country have had anything
to do with this mortality.
A good cellar does not mean a damp one.
The cellar should be well aired every day,
and also given a good Whitewashing when
ever il is necessary 70 do SO. Before storing
any crops Of this season in the cellar every
portion Of the celia should be thoroughly
cleaned, and if it nave cement floor it
should even be wei scrubbed.
1t never injGres tree or vine to cut out
the deal wood at any season of the year.
Now that the leaves are out it is an easy
matter TO distinguish the dead limbs. Cut
them off and trim out I'll dead twigs. Bushes
should also DO carefully looked over and
trimmed of dead branches, thus allowing of
more room for growth OF new wood.
English and French heavy draueht horses
are still being imported in large numbers
and are being introduced into all sections
The result Of the importations Of tho past
lon years has been to largely increase the

Have Vegetables Well Cooked.

The most common fault in cooking vege-
tables, says the Minneapolis HOuskeeper, is
that of serving them about two thlr DIS
cooked, and therefore follow the painful
pangs of indigestion. This is needless
agony, as most vegetables are healthful and
dgestible if cooked until tender and prop
erly seasoned. Potatoes with 'hearts"
hard, turnips that resist the masher's pres
sure, onions, cabbage, string and shell beans
that are grumpy" instead of soft, are only
partially cooked. Even pigs thrive better
upon cooked vegetables than raw ones, and
IL does seem as if cooked or two-thirds
cooked food is an insult offered to those
that surround the family board-it is
crime against the human structure. A
ulctor said to an invalid, "You need not
contine yourself to mashed potatoes and
turnlps more than other people, but all hui
mainly should be wary of eating any vege-
table slack cook, and it is slack if it can
not DO easily mashed"

Household.

BEEF JELLY.-Take about one pound of
lean, juicy Leef. cut it into small pieces, put
| into cold water and let soak for one hour
Then put on the fire with one pint of water,
seasoning with salt, pepper and little eel
cry seed, and let it stew until reduced two
thirds; strain on a few blades Of mace.
Serve hot.
CREAM DREssING.-A cream dressing is
| good for boiled cabbage, canlifower or as
paragus. 1t is made by beating thoroughly
two eggs; then add one teaspoonful sugar,
| one-quarter teaspoonful salt and the same
OF mustard after mixing these ingredients
well add three tablespoonfulS OF vinegar and
one of cream, set the bowl containing the
m xture in pan of boiling water and stir
until it is the consistency of thick cream.

To MAKE HASH RoLLs.-Prepare the
meat as for ordinary hash, chopping it very
fine. Moisten with spoonful OF cold gravy
or meat juice if you have it; add an equal
quantity of mashed potatoes fresh are best)
aud the same of stale crumbs grated and
soaked in cream. Work all well together
with the hand, make into rolls about three
| inches long and half the thickness and
brown in a hot oven Is or 20 minutes, or
| you may spread the hash in a l-greased
| breadpan and set in the oven; when Drowned
on the bottom turn into dish crusted side
up and send to the table.
MAYoNNAIsE SAUCE.-Tweve yelks of
eggs, half pint of best salad oil, half a
pint of milk or cream. half a pint of vine
gar, one tablespoonful tarragon vinegar, a
| little salt, mustard, cayenne and Worces-
tershire sauce. Put the yelks of the eggs
into a stewpan, gradually add the oil first
| (whisk quickly while adding all the ingre-
dents to prevent curdling), then the cream
| or milk, and then the vinegar; place the
| stewpan on a small fire and continue whisk-
| ing until the mixture becomes thick and
nearly boiling; be sure not to let it quite
boil or it will curdle; put it into wide
mouthed bottles, well corked, and it will
keep any length of time; the salt, mustard,
etc, should be first added to the yelks.
ORANGE SYRUP. -Orange syrup is so
easily made and so convenient to have on
| hand for various uses that it is strange
| more hOusekeepers do not make it, espe-
cially in the season when oranges are plen-
tiful and cheap. Ripe ami thin-skinned
fruit is best for the purpose. Squeeze the
fruit through a sieve and to every pint add
a pound and a half of powdered sugar with
little of the grated orange peel and the
Juice of a lemon. Boil the syrup for Is
minutes and skim as long as any scum shall
ri e. If it should not look clear when taken
off strain it. Next bottle and seal up tight
and it will keep for long time. Two Ia
bleSpoonfuls of the syrup mixed with guar
ter of a pound of creamery butter makes a
nice sauce for pudding or pleasant flavor
for custards and ices. Mixel with cold
water and ice it makes a delicious drink
and can be safely given to invalids.

argues that the crust must thicken under
oceans at a more rapid rate, so as to give
rise to a swelling up and distortion Of the
thinner portions of the crust; in other words,
to the formation of mountain chains.

The following is from prize essay on
EARN Drainage"
To such soils as require draining the ben

and friable year by year by removing all
undue moisture and substituting therefor
atmospheric air. which greatly assists in the

Rain water is more easily absorbed and, in
consequence, surface washing very materi-

those anxious to escape early frosts should
not lose sight of. The products of the land

the quality of the same is in most cases
much improved. Properties detrimental to
vegetation are washed out of the soil and
carried OFF by drain, while the nourishing
portions contained in tho vegetable mold

up by the roots (unless, perhaps, in the case
of bare summer fallow), long before they
reach the depth at which the drains should

care but also at an earlier date, and in really
