FARM AND FIaesloe.

With proper provision OF warmth
and shelter, and q good store OF ems
silage and hay, winter dairying can fre.
quently be made more profitable than
summer; labor is then cheaper and
butter higher.
Most farmers who give no particu.
lar attention to horses usually drive
with loose rein. This is we'll enough
with the "old family horse" in whom
you have perfect confidence. tits never
safe, however, with ayoung or spirited
horse. Never drive such an animal
with SO loose rein that you can not
instantly command the situation, what
ever happens. s.--American Agrtcultuyist.
Dried Tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes
may be dried in the following way.
Scald and peel; cut through the middle
the fiat way, and lay on boards, with
cups upward to retain the juice. Dry
in hot oven. When half dry the con-
tents Of two or more boards may be
placed on one to finish. Soak in warm
water before parboilihg. Sweeten to
taste.
The following preparation applied
to the surface will prevent any rusting
of plow or any other metal surfaces:
Melt one ounce of resin in n gill Of lin
seed oil, and when hot mix with two
quarts of kerosene oil. This can be
kept on hand and applied in u moment
with n brush or rag, to the metal sur
face of any tool that is not going to be
used for few days, preventing any
rust, and saving much vexation when
the time comes to use it again.
Fall blowing has many advan-
tages. 1t leaves the ground loose dur
| ing winter, and great numbers OF
worms and grubs are destroyed by
freezing. Plowed ground soon be-
comes dry and loamy in spring, and is
| ready for sowing in good season. The
best advantage, however, is that
farmers have more time for plowing in
fall than in spring and those who do
their plowing in fall can get their crops
in on time next spring.
Economy with the corn crop means
that the fodder should be stored under
cover and not left standing in the
| fields as is often practiced. Good fod-
der is valuable and highly relished by
jured by exposure as easily as hay.
No matter how much care is taken
| the shocks will plot over in win
| ter, by which means large share of
| fodder is ruined by being on the
ground. If cattle are turned on it they
| will trample portion also. Tho
barn is the proper place for it.
1t is mistake to suppose that be-
cause milk is a liquid fluid it is ut the
same time u drink which is capable Of
satisfying the thirst of infants. AL
though milk appeases hunger it makes
thirst more intense after it has re.
mained sometime in the stomach AMI
| digestion has begun. 1t is thirst
which causes healthy, breast-nourished
infants to Cry for long periods OF time
in many instances. There are many
cases of indigestion due to weakness
or insufficiency of the child's gastric
juice, which would be greatly benefit
ted, or even cured, if the child were
| allowed an occasional drink OF water.
-Curried Mutton: Put four ounces
Of butter into a stewpan with six
onions chopped small, heaped table,
spoonful of curry powder, a teaspoon
full of salt, a desert spoonful of flour,
and a breakfast cupful of milk. Stir
until the mixture is quite smooth and
creamy, then draw the pan on one
side. Cut some neat pieces of mutton
-underdone if convienient-and fry
them in hot butter, or beef dripping,
until brightly Drowned. but not at all
hard; lay then in q saucepan, pour
over them the curry mixture and sim
mer gently for ten minutes. Stew in
the center of hot dish, with wall of
rice round about.
