FARM AND FIREsIpE,

-Seedtime and h arvest are not prom |
scd to slothful farmers who stake all
chances on the theory that the world
owes them n living.
If the brush Is to be used it is OF
more Importance on tho cow than OIL
the horse, yet the former is almost en-
tirely neglected in that respect.
Frost Pudding: One cupful Of boiled
rice, one pint of milk, butter the size OF
walnut. yclks of three eggs, and the
rind of one lemon. Bake. and add
meringue made Of the whites of three
eggs.
Good clover hay, or q variety OF
grass in the pasture. will give better
results than an exclusively grain diet
to any kind of stock. 1t is the variety
of food rather than the quality and
quantity that promotes digestion and
health.
Excellent results are claimed for
the dry method of feeding chickens, i.
@, beginning with boiled egg and
bread crumbs. ch angling this diet in a
few days to oatmeal, fine cracked corn,
fine cracked wheat, afterwards substi.
tuting whole grain.
The farmer who says his business
"does not pay" in most cases proclaims
his own incapacity, for there is the plain
fact that agriculture returns larger
profits in this country than in any other
land, no matter whether prices be high
| en- low.
-Crcamed Goldfish: Boil one pint of
milk, tlicken it with one tablespoon
of butter and one tablespoonful of
Hour; mix together in bowl set on top
of the boiling tea-kettlc, stirring occa.
sionally as the butter melts, until they
are smoothly blended; season with pep
per and add heaping cup of shredded
Goldfish. Serve hot
The restorative influence of plow-
ing in clover on rundown land is not
wholly due to the plant food it fur
nishes to the soil, which produces in
creased growth of crops, but is largely
due to the mechanical effect in mel
lowing and fining a soil that by long
cultivation has become compacted and
lifcless. Country Gentleman.
In transplanting cabbage, tomato,
pepper, or other plants, have the soil
we'll prepared; take shallow pan,
partially filled with water and good,
rich soil, stirring until the consistency
of cream; take UP the plants carefully,

as possible will adhere to them. In set
ting out see that the earth is packed
firmly around the roots.-Home, Farn,
