kerosene lamps turned down so as
to burn low soon poison the air of

allowed in house, and certainly not
in sleeping-rooms or sick-rooms.
Hold raisins under water while

the quantity of raisins needed in a dish
with water to cover, stone them before
removing from water.
Farm and Garden recommends
every farmer who builds an ice-house to
arrange for cold storage apartment
IN connection with it, for the preserva-
ton OF fruit, butter, etc. No matter how
small it is, it will be found a decided
convenience.

and salt, and stir constantly until

forming in small Jumps.
Egg Soup.-Slice two onions and
fry brown, add three pints of water
and boil, add salt, pepper ard pinch
OF sugar; stir until the soup has thick
ened, remove from the fire and mix
in the yelks of beaten eggs. Have
ready in tho soup tureen ten ounces

When The ground is hard and
frozen work may be done by cutting
out the surplus canes of blackberries
and raspberries. The old cane is only
useless incumbrance to a vine, and
should be removed while there is
plenty of time for such work. A lib
eral application of wood ashes may
be applied after removing the canes,
while bone dust will also be found
very beneficial
To clean bottles, etc., fill them
with ammonia and water and put in
some fine shot; then shake rapidly till
the glass is clean. Little pebbles or
cinders will answer the purpose, but
are not as convenient as shot. For
decanters and fine glass which it is
necessary to avoid scratching it is best
to use ammonia water and soft swab
or brush with handle of very fine wire
An egg shell broken fine and shaken
about well also cleans fine glass nicely.
The seeds of carrots and parsnips
are very slow in terminating, and to
this cause is due the failure on the
part of some farmers to grow those
crops The seed should be sown early,
SO as to have the young plants make
some Roadway before the grass shall
begin to grow thickly, or hand wedding
must be resorted to. 1t would be best
to use plenty of seed, planting them in
."stools" about six inches apart in the
rows, and thin out the surplus plants
after they shall be up.
1t is generally better to secure cut
tings for next years planting in the
fall than to delay the operation till
spring. They may be cut at any time
when the wood is not frozen. Each
variety should be carefully tied to-
gether and plainly labeled. They may
be kept in damp sand in a cool cellar,
or better still, outdoors, where they
can be covered sufficiently with soil to
protect them against freezing, and
where they remain moderately moist
without danger of coming in contact
with standing water until the follow
ing spring. --American Agriculturist.
Chocolate tarts. - Crate four
ounces of the best chocolate and add
to it pinch of powdered cinnamon,
the grated rind of half a lemon,

two spoonfuls of milk, and stir this
gradually into the chocolate. Put the

mixture for few minutes over the
fire. Take it off, allow it to cool and
pour into a tart dish lined with puff
