HOME ANO FARM.

Fish have been caught in the Gulf
OF California ut depth OF fourteen
hundred feet.
Keep the little turkeys out Of ne
water or prepare TO count the numb sr
less and less as rainy days multiply in
the calendar.
If dish towels are thoroughly
washed with soap every morning and
dried in the sun. they need never
swell the already large weekly wash.
As plant grows most vigorously
when its roots have a firm hold upon
the soil, so a farmer is most prosper
GUS when he feels firmly attached to
his farm and thinks OF it as a life in
terest to him.
Roast Spare-Rib: Trim off the
rough ends, crack the ribs through
the middle. rub with salt and pepper;
fold over where cracked, stuff with a
bread dressing, sew up tightly. put in
a baking-pan with pint of water and
bake both sides a good brown.
Cooked potatoes make excellent
food for stock. The small potatoes,
which can not be sold to advantage,
may be used for hogs and poultry. AS
an agreeable change for the cow.
cooked potatoes are superior to turnips
or beets.
--Stewed apples for sauce should be
perfectly cooked before adding sugar.
II will harden the apples and make
them lumpy if put on too soon, unless
they are put through a colander,
which is unnecessary if they are thor
oughly tender before adding the sugar.
Farm and Home.
Liverpool is uprobably the most
densely populated city In the world
it is beyond doubt the most densely-
populated in the United Kingdom. In
the year 1887 its population was 593,
900. or 1888 per square acre; while
Manchester stood next with S7.9, then
Glasgow with S5S, and London with
| Sc.
Graham Biscuit: Three cupfuls
OF graham flour, one cupful of white
-four, one egg. two tablespoonfuls OF
brown tugar, two teaspoonfuls of bak-
ing powder. one tablespoonful of lard,
one saltspoonful OF salt, milk enough
to mix, bake moderately. Boston
| Herald.
While there is leisure is a good
time to arrange the shelter for the
stock during the winter 1t is not
good economy to attempt to winter
more stock than a good comfortable
shelter can be arranged for. and it is
not good plan to wait until it is act
ually needed before beginning the
work.
The n. Y. Times says that it is a
mistake to suppose that plantation
Of young timber would not add TO the
selling value of a farm. People who
come as recruits to farming from other
business pursuits. are most apt to look
at thrifty grove of timber as OF more
value-as it really is--than any other
equal area of land on farm.
Chicken and Beans: Prepare a
chicken for fricassie, put it into ket-
/ tie with just water enough to cover it,
4 salt and one small onion; put into a
saucepan one pint Of shelled peas with
a few pieces Of salt pork cut very
small, cook until tender; when the
chicken is nearly done pour in the
/ beans and allow all to cook together
about twenty minutes; remove the
meat to large platter, to the beans
and gravy add a tablespoonful OF -four
mixed in milk, pour in the chicken
and serve. Boston Herald.
1t is difficult to remove the smells
impaired TO the clothing by milking
and the care OF horses. But they may
be largely prevented. Common land
/ plaster sprinkled freely in horse and
/ COW stables will absorb most Of the
ammoniacal odors. A weak solution
of copperas sprinkled from watering
4 pot is an additional and very effective
deodorizer. OF course all such means
for maintaining purity are useless
without perfect cleanliness and good
ventilation. But with those and the
/ simple appliances named, the air Of
4 the stable may be kept as free from
offensive odors as that of parlor.
