FARM AND FlREsiDE.

"A Connecticut dairyman tried
warming the water for the cows to
drink in winter. and the increase OF
butter in ten days paid the expense OF
piping the trough. u
In the three years from 1884, the
corn crop Of Dakota has more than
trebled in quantity, with the certainty
OF constantly increasing, in the future,
this established ratio of progress.
DO not be economical with the bed
ding material. There should be
enough to completely absorb all the
liquids, as they are worth more than
the bedding material. -.
p. Ham Salad: One pound of boiled
ham. chopped fine; one-half dozen small
pickles, chopped fine also; add little
chopped celery and serve with dress
ing as for chicken salad.
"A thick coating of whitewash on
the walls of the cellar will be as pro-
ductive of benefit now as during the
warm season. It will also make the
cellar light and cheerful, and greatly
assist in preserving the purity of the
atmosphere.
1T is claimed that the average pro-
duction OF farms is less than that of
twenty years ago. This shows that our
system of farming has not improved,
and condemns the growing of grain on
large areas. The remedy is, smaller
farms and better cultivation.
There is no reason why farmers
should receive less than the regular
prices for any kind of produce. If they
will ship articles in good condition, and
allow nothing to leave the farm except
that of the best quality, they can always
find ready sale for all classes of prod
uce.
Spice Cake: One cup of molasses,
one cup of sugar, two-thirds of a cup
of butter. one cup of sour milk, three
eggs, one teaspoonful Soda, one tea
spoonful nutmeg, one and one-half tea
spoonfuls cinnamon, one teaspoonful
of cloves, three cups of -four.
The age of COW has much to do
with her value as mixer A COW
with her first calf never milks as well
as with her third or fourth one. and for
q dairy animal, as a rule, is unprofit-
able. For this reason care should be
taken in buying cows for the dairy, to
obtain those with their second or third
calves, not with the first one.
Tongue Cheese: Take one beef
tongue, two calves livers, three pounds
of salt pork, and boil until thoroughly
cooked. Mince together very fine, sea-
son to taste with spices, press the mass
into pan and allow to get cold. Slice
thin and serve upon a napkin in lunch
dish.
Pocket for Crochet Needles: This
is very useful and ornamental pocket
to hang on the wall or inside large
work basket 1t is made on founda-
ton of cardboard. Cut the back 81,
inches long and two and a half inches
wide and shape the top any design you
like. Make the front three inches long
and three and half wide. Cover the
card with blue satin, bind with narrow
ribbon, sewing on gold bead for each
stitch in the front of the binding. A
row of gold beads is placed on the front
about one inch from the edge all round.
Sew the front to the back and ornament
with bows of pale blue and coral-pink
ribbon
