III the clOJnoSl1ne IS brought Tn when the clothes are dried, and rolled up until next vented, it will last about three times as long as when left out to be routed by sun and rain.
 Where butter is to be eaten at home, and that soon, teaspooful of soda in the cream, well mixed in, will be an aid, sometimes, but It needs to have the buttermilk well washed out with weak brine.
 -Beeswax and salt will make rusty f1atirons as clean and smooth as glass. Tie a lump of wax in a rag, and keep it for the purpose. When the irons are hot, rub first with a wax rag, and then SCOUT them on a paper or cloth sprink- led with salt.
 For dish cloth ''par excellence, J make a cloth about twelve inches square of four or five thicknesses oi mosquito netting; then SOW across and back and forth on the machine, to hold firmly together. Thus it is very soft, and will hold no grease at all.-Good Housekeeping.
 The natives of the Arctic regions have barbarous but effective way oi dealing with the wolves which are a pest there. Sharp blades are stuck in the ice and baited. The meat freezes, and in thawing it out with his tongue the blade cuts the tongue, ultimately preventing the beast from licking the SHOW, and finally kills the animal.
 -Pickled Crab Apples: One quart of vinegar, three pounds of sugar, make into sirup. Put your apples into suitable stone jar, and pour the sirup over them. Set the jar into a kettle and cook until fork will easily go through the apples. The sirup need not cover them at first, as the ap- pies will make some. This way keeps the fruit whole.
 A delicious way to prepare rice IS to allow small teacupful of rice to nearly three pints of milk; sweeten to taste; flavor with vanilla, and bake in
 
 spreads over the top, stir the pudding we'll from the bottom; when done, which will be in two hours, it will be almost like jelly, and it is most deli cate dish. Serve without sauce.
 It is difficult to estimate the oat crop before threshing. Long straw caused by abundant rains is not gen erally indicative of large crop. Often, indeed, the oats with deficient straw turn out the best quality and as large quantity of grain. If wet, cool weather comes while the oats are fill ing, the grain will be full weight, though the straw be short.
 Frozen Pudding: One quart of milk, one pint of cream, six whole eggs, the yelks of three eggs, one and one-half cups of sugar, two ounces each of preserved ginger, greengages and pineapple cut fine. Boil the milk and cream and pour it on the beaten eggs and sugar; cook slightly, and when cool add the fruit and freeze the same as ice cream.-N E. Farmer.
 In harvesting wheat almost every one has noticed little heaps of straw, uniformly few inches in length, and wondered what could have been the cause of it. It was the work of field mice. The little rodents did it to get the grain. They gnaw off the stalk as nigh as they can reach, and it drops down endways-the surrounding stalks prevent it from falling overland they continue the process until the head is reached. Rabbits do the same. Their work may be known by the pieces be- ing longer, and they cease operations before the grain is fully ripe.
