HOME AND FARM.

BY using hot, moderately strong
soda-water to clean them, the bristles
of hair-brushes will remain white and
stiff for long time. 4
Where hoed crops are intended to
be grown between young trees it
should be the aim to manure freely,
or the growing crop will injure the
trees.
Put the onions in cool place. If
they should freeze do not disturb them.
but allow them to thaw gradually. d.
not lay them too thickly. O,ion sets
may be kept in tho same manner as
matured onions.
If one should have no turnips or
parsnips for the poultry, give them
fodder or clover hay: 1t will DO sur
prising to see how much they will eat
if it be kept before them all the time
in a clean, nice condition..
-Mufins: Two eggs. two table,
spoonfuls Of sugar, one tablespoonful
butter. one cup sweet milk. eight large
Kitchen spoonfuls of flour, two tea-
spoonfuls baking powder; put one
large tablespoonful of the batter in
muffin rings or small cake, pour and
bake.
In carving fish care should be
taken 10 avoid breaking the flakes. In
serving salmon long slices cut from
the backbone and along the flank are
the best. Mackerel and shad should
be carved so rs to raise one side of the
meat from the bone; the upper ond is
considered the best.
Baked Cheese: Take one and u
half cups of finely chopped or grated
cheese. add half q cup of bread crumbs,
one cupful of milk. one egg beaten
light. little red pepper, and salt to
taste. Put it in buttered dish and
bake fifteen minutes in a quick oven.
This is u good way 10 use the last of II
piece of cheese, when it becomes too
dry to be nice alone.
Apple Jonathan: Fill pudding
dish with apples pared and sliced.
and pour over the dish a batter made
of butlermilk brought to q foam W i,h
soda and thickened with flour. so it
will just spread with spoon. When
the apples are tender and dinner is
served. turn upside down on q
platter Beat the soft apples smooth
ly on the crust; add a lump of but
ter, nutmeg or cinnamon, as one pre-.
fers. Serve hot, with plenty of
sweet cream or milk.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances twenty per cent. of the cost of
feeding sheep can be counted as profit;
sixty per cent. of the food of animals
is used up to keep them from freezing.
Any thing which decreases the growth
of flesh decreases also the growth of
wool and vigor The most profit com es
from securing the greatest increase
in wool and meat for the least expen-
diture of food. The skin of the sheep
is extremely delicate, and it is great
fallacy to say that the cold wind does
not cause suffering and diminish
profits. The close housing of sheep
under proper conditions would greatly
nssist in the e economic feeding not only
of fattening sheep. but of store sheep
