THE HOUSEKEEPER.
H0tc to Make "a Large IoUitfce


A flannel bag should be prepared, 4 con-
yenient size being tewlve inches by eight.
This should be closed at three edges and
open at the fourth. One side of it should
be about one inch or one inch and half
longer than the other, and ii is convenient
also to have four tapes attached at the
points which from the corners when the bag
is closed, in order to keep the poultice in
position. Besides this. another strip of
fiannel should be prepared Of the same
breadth rs the length of the bag, and long
enough to wrap around it once or oftener.
Crushed linseed, bowl and spoon should
then be got together, and the spoon aud
bowl thoroughly heated by means of boil
ing water; the poultice should then be made
with perfectly, boiling water and rather
soft. AS soon as it is ready, IT should be
poured into the bag, previously warmed by
holding it before the fire; the flap, which is
formed by the longest side of the bag,
should now be turned down and fastened
IN its place by few long stitches with a
needle and thread; it should then be quickly
wrapped in the strip of flannel (alsO pre-
viously warmed and fastened in stu, if
necessary, by means of the tapes. 1t may
be covered on the outside with sheet of
cotton wool. In this way the poultice may
be applied boiling hot to the skin without
burning; the two layers of flannel, which
are at first dry, allow the heat to pass very
gradually indeed to the skin: as the moist
ure of the poultice soaks through them,
they become better conductors, and the
heat passes more quickly, but the increase
IS so gradual as not to cause any painful
sensations whatever, but only one of soeth-
ing and comfort. The poultice, also, ma
turally keeps much longer hot, and the
necessity for changing it arises much less
frequently. -Dc. Bs1gttOn, Boston Journal

THE DAIRYMAN.
foDd Tor Darn Farms.


Mr. Primrose Mcconnell, an expert
enced Scotch dairy farmer, gives some val
liable hints on the feeding and manage
ment or COWS in the new number of the
Highland Agricultural Societv's transact
tlons As forage crop on arabic land he
recommends mixture of tares, rye, and
oats, sown ut the rate of two bushels per
acre OF the first and one bushel each of the
other. One sewing should be made in au-
tumn and the other sewing later in the sea-
son, SO as TO give succession of cuttings.
In connection with this point it is desira-
BILE to mention tliat the only variety of tares
which produces a good bulk, if sown as
late as March or April, is that known as
York tares. Common spring SORTS produce
very little fodder Mr.. Mcconnell re-
marks ON the danger of giving cotton cake
to COWS, and he does not recommend any
oil cake, as oil does not produce milk.

opposition to come other authorities, Mr..
Mcconnell declares winter darying 10 be
Improbable. His experience is that the
cost Of keeping COW in milk for the seven
winter months IS from two to three times
as much of that of keeping the animal for
the i've summer months, and the small ex-
ira price realized for the milk, he adds, is
not anything like in proportion TO the cost
OF production. He is strong advocate of
The Scotch practice of heating chaff and
meal with water for the cows and other
cattle, at any rate in winter, and giving it
to them as warm mess. Roots are some
times added to the mixture, the whole be-
ing cooked together; but Mr.. Ne Connell is
of the opinion that roots cost more than
thew are worth as food for COWS

The Woman bohemian.

The woman who leads the Bohemian
life on hall bedroom basis generally
makes her own coffee, either ON gas
or oil stove, and has couple Of rolls,
with perhaps an egg or two, for break
fast. Her lunch IS most frequently
eaten at bake-shop, and her one solid
meal is taken at dusk in dingy res
taurant of the sort that have placards
on their walls imparting the welcome
intelligence that beefsteat and pOta-
toes may be had for II cents and mince
pie for ). A woman who lives this way
can support life on 81 on 81 week. BY
cutting off on her restaurant dinner she
can even reduce her expenses to 50.
The art OF cultiyating literature on a
little oatmeal has been handed down
by tradition from the early days of
Grub street Henri Murger's famous
remark to the effect that the Bohemian
life leads either TO the hospital or TO
the Academy holds good for the New
York female Bohemian. She may die
OF gastritis and be buried at public ex-
pense, or she may ascend to the next
stage OF the Bohemian life, which
means a large, square room with two
or three slnare meals at good restan-
rant. The extravagant existence costs
from SD to $50 week Life on the
square is, however, only vouchsaied to

THE STOCK-BREEDER.

An animal cannot live long upon wholly
digestibIe matter. We cannot with all our
skill feed animals successfully upon such
rations OF food as will be wholly used up
in the nutritive process and none be elected
as waste. Therefore provision in excess
of the actual known needs must be given
to animals, and this excess may be as cheap
AS can be procured. \ certain portion of
crude fiber is required; il NAV be given az
STRAW or coarse hay, but if it is not given,
the hiehly-fed animals will chew boards,
corn cobs, or other coarse, indigestible
matter TO supply the craving of the system
for it, This fact accounts for the habit of
fstteurg swine 10 eat charcoal, stone coal,
etc, or 10 gnaw the rails or boards OF the
pen. and it should be taken into account
when the animals are put up 10 fatte..

BsOiiet STEAK.

When beef is butchered in cool weather
say in December-so much of it as Is in
tended for steak may be hung in a cool
place, without salt, and steak cut from it
as needed, rubbing little dry meal over
The freshly cut part, to prevent drying ana
crusting. The longer the meat hangs with
out salt the more tender the steak will be-
Broiling steak is very simple process,
and yet We readily find q properly cooked
steak on either public or private tables.
First trim off the rough edges and waste
fat with very sharp knife, and pound the
steak until il is thin. 4 greatmany disap-
proves of this idea of pounding, but,
nevertheless, il is the right way. The
gridiron was formerly used for broiling
steak, but 1t is by no means necessary.
Some have an idea that steak must be
cooked right on top of the stove, but if not
very careful the fire will get too hot and
scoarch the steak; and then, too, the stove
is soiled, and smoke prevades the whole
house. An ordinary pan-a biscuit pan
will answer infinitely better. Place the
pan on the stove until quite hot. Lay the
steak in the pan, using care to have every
point of it come in contact with the hot
pan, and turn rapidly 10 avoid burning
Have butter in hot dish at hand. When
the steak j. done, lay it i'll the melted but
ter, sprinkle salt over it very lightly, also
pepper it plentifully, turn it over and treat
The other side in the same manner.
Broiled steak should never be sailed until
it is done and placed on the hot dish. The
object in having the pan hot, when com
mencing broil the steak, is TO scar the
outer surface to coagulate the albumen,
and thus prevent the escape of the juices.
Rapid turning is necessary to prevent over
cooking the outside before the interior is
sufficiently done. WomdJis Work.

sential to firm, sweet wholesome fe1h, The
fact becomes PEACEFULLY apparent that its
growth in the pen has been fictitious to q
certain extent.
We believe the best thing to do is to kill
TIE runt at once. If pig or lamb, its
value can be but little. The loss will
hardly equal the cost to bring the animal
to self-supporting basis. In the caee of
a calf, n longer period of probation may
be given; and ordinarily the chances are in
favor of bringing a colt through. Ye: We
are of the opinion that such is the inclina-
ton TO keep rather than to sacrifice tho
runt, that the best advice is to kill without
delay, provided it is not of a choice breed
and worth the cost of the extra care neces-
sary to bring up TO somewhat normal
condition, but this is not often profitable.

4 Massachusetts woman, having an hour
or two each day TO spare from homework,
and wishing to earn little money, decided
to try raising Strawberries for market. Her
piece of land was fifty-seven feet long.
and averaged fifty-seven feet wide. The
plants were taken care of through the
season, and the last Of October the bed
received final hoeing, and n little later
the plants were mulched about two inches
deep with pine needles. Before the market
season commenced she bargained with a
market man, mile and half distant, to
take all her berries, by allowing him, as
his share, cents basket for all the ber-
ries sold for 20 cents and over, and ; cents
for those bringing less. In picking, she
was careful 10 put in only sound fruit, TO
have as large berries at the bottom of the
basket as on top, and to have them heaped
rs high as the crates would allow. 1t be-
ing poor year for Strawberries, owing to
drought, which did not effect her low
ground, she received good prices. None
were sold for less than - cents basket.
The entire crop sold was $50 baskets, for
which she received $3.50. Expenses
were 22t. 80, leaving a net profit of S3l %.

Tie lack of manure and cultivation, aud
a general lack of proper care for orchards
are the causes, in n great part, of their
sterility. Neglected orchards produce
small, poorly Favored and poorly-ripened
fruit. The orchard should be supplied
with all the manure the trees can appro-
pirate, and the trees will then be vigorous
and will show it by good growth of wood
and handsome fruit. When the trees do
not make free growth of wood it is GER
tain that they are in i'll condition and need
the assistance of fertilizers and cultiya-
tion-probably, also, judicious pruning,
cleaning the bark and the destruction of
