sHE STOCK RANCH.
PIGS n Composers.

ne pigpen should be arranged in the
barnyard, SO that as stables are cleaned
out the droppings of both cattle and
horses can easily be thrown into it. The
pigs will root this over, preventing toe
rapid fermentation, and their own drop
pings will make the whole more valu-
able. There may not be as many loads
in the spring as we're drawn In, but the
heating will make it much more valua-
BILE. If cattle and horses are grain fed,
the pigs will nearly make their living
from the droppings. Pigs should not
be allowed to run in yards where other
animals are fed. but in q compost yard
they will be at home, and do good
rather than harm.

THE KITCHEN.
Some Culinary Hints,

SOmO Ouuu8Iy
In cooking oatmeal or cracked wheat,
if the meal is put into double boiler.
and salt added to the water in the outer
receptacle, the food will be very much
improved in taste, the reason being I'M
doubtedly because the meal il better
cooked by this process. As sailed water

jected to a greater heat, and proper
tionately better cooked and much i'm
proved thereby.
Sailed beef can be plunged into boil
ing water; this hardens the outer side
at once, and keeps the juices within the
meat.
If steamed meat is left in the liquor to
cool of, it will be found to have alb
sorbed back much ofthe goodness of the
soup, and will be SO much the more nu-
tritious as food.
In calling for part of meat Of the
inferior portion of beef from q market
in good part Of the city, the dealer
will often not have any; he does not
keep any except the prime portions, for
he will tell you no customers can be
found to buy them. This idea Of al
ways purchasing only the more expens-
i've cuts of meats is very prevalent
among the Americans, but it often en-
tails needless expense. Other parts OF
the animal give Just as good. nutritious
food, and at much less expense.
Stews, ragouts, pot-roasts, stuffed
hearts, and large variety OF made
dishes, will prove quite as satisfying
to hungry appetite as . porterhouse
steak could possibly do, and be much
less costly. It is only ignorance which
depends upon steaks, chops, and roasts,

Rotation for Potatoes.

In reply to a query on the subject of
potato culture. the World says: If you
fertilize and cultivate properly it is not
necessary for you to change your potato
planting to another field, for. unlike
some other crops. potatoes may be raised
successfully on the same ground for
quite long series of years without any
rotation with other crops. This has
been we'll demonstrated in the expert
ence OF Mr.. E. S. Carman on his expert
mental farm, where on limited portion
of small plot the yield was OF the rate
of more than 1000 bushels to the acre,
and on the whole plot nearly at the rate
of 800 bushels. This was upon ground
on which potatoes had been grown for
twelve successive years. Such expert
ments do not set figures that can be
reached in ordinary farming, but they
do demonstrate that if the farmer has q
convenient field adapted to the potato,
and will yearly supply the loss in the
elements of plant growth distracted by
. preceding crop, he need not change
frequently from one field to another.

softening Water for tho Laundry.
An authority on softening water, max.
ing soap and kindred matters says: For
all washing and cleansing operations il
~ iuulopoubdOIe, IL SOOO anu economical
results are to be obtained, first to soften
the water before using soap Of any kind.
Softening water simply consists in re-
moving the soluble lime salts with which
all water Except pure rainwater) is more
or less impregnated. If this is not done
the soluble lime forms an insoluble lime
soap from the decomposition of the soap
used for washing. This substance 10 .
greasy, sticky, oily compound, perfectly
insoluble and more difficult to wash away
afterwards by any treatment. 1t il this
that causes the yellow grayish deposit
on the edges of collars and cuffs washed
simply with hard water and soap, and
the sticky, greasy deposit on wool when
treated in . similar manner and also on
the sides and edges Of all washing ma
chimes.
It is most uneconomical proceeding
to wash anything in water and soap alone
without previously softening the water.
Not particle of soap can become avail
able for washing purposes until all the
added lime II the water has combined
with the amount of soap it requires to
form the insoluble lime soap. As com.
pared with the pure SO per cent. pow
dered caustic soda, such as the Green.
bank" brand, it requires twelve pounds
of the very finest pure soap, or twenty
to thirty pounds of ordinary soap, such
as is usually sold to manufacturers, to
do the same work that can be done with
pound of this soda.

Farm Hints.

Be good to the cows. Brood not upon
misfortunes. If you must take the Bit
ter pills do not chew them. Holes in
the roof or in the sides of the COW stable
are the worst sort of outlooks for any
farm. A better breed of dairymen is
wanted in some neighborhoods. Dry
ont the seed corn by artificial means be-
fore it is subjected to hard freezing
weather. Every bushel of hard wood
ashes your stove makes is worth at least
80 cents. The most profitable crop of
the farm is q crop of healthy, intelli-
gent, well-behaved boys and girls. Ex-
anime the managers and feed boxes by
the light of your nose. This is pecu-
liarly the thinking season. AS q man
thinketh SO is he" Make the head save
the hands. Snow roads are just the
place to teach the yearling or two-year
old colt fast walk. Yes, of course,
keep the stable warm, but do not forget
ventilation, and on fair days give the
cows q chance to stretch their legs. A
city market is o school where any OBJ
