Fish have been caught in the Cuff
OF California ut q depth of fourteen
hundred feet

III 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 firm hold upon
the soil. so 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 of the,
rough ends. crack the ribs through
the middle. rub with salt and peppers
fold over where cracked. stuff with q.
bread dressing. sew up tightly. put in.
baking-pan with pint of water and

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
dn agreeable change for the cow.
cooked potatoes are superior to turnipss
or beets.
-Stewed apples for sauce should be-
perfectly cooked before adding sugar

them lumpy if put on too soon, unless
they are put through a colander,-

While there is leisure is good
time to arrange the shelter for the.
stock during the winter. 1t is not
good economy to attempt to winter
more stock than 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
mistake to suppose that plantation,
of young timber would not add TO ther
selling value of farm. People who,
come as recruits to farming from other
business pursuits, are most apt to look
at a 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,
salt apd one small onion; put into a.
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

1t is difficult to remove the smells
impaired to the clothing by milking
md the care of horses. But they may
De largely prevented. Common land
plaster sprinl1led freely in horse and
.Ow stables will absorb most of the
odOrs. A weak solution
If copperas sprinkled from watering
rot is an additional and very effective
leodorizer. Of course all such means
or maintaining purity are useless
Without perfect cleanliness and good
entilation. But with those and the
nipple appliances named. the air of
he stable may be kept as free from
ffensive odors as that of parlor.
