bages are placed heads down and covered with
earth. In trenches, the stems, or stumps, are
preserved until spring, and we think that for
home use, sound stump, 20 set in the spring
for greens, TO be worth as much the head
which IL bore.
Tried and Found Good.
Raspberry Pie-I.ine a pie-dish with a good
paste and ill with raspberries sprinkled

a pint of milk and three tablespoonfuls of
sugar pour over the cake and apples and bake
thirty minutes. Draw to the oven door and
the egg beaten with sugar.
Sweetbreads-Farmers frequently kill their
own calves and sell them to a country butcher,
who does not know the value of sweetbreads
for which city customer must pay from 40 20 70
cents pair. They are easily cooked, and most
delightful when prepared properly. Soak
them in a bowl OF cold water for an hour: pull
off the skin and fat parboil for twenty min
utes in water with little salt; throw in cold
water for five minutes aud then press between
two plates with a weight on top until perfectly
cold. Dip in beaten egg and bread crumbs,
and Try in hot dripping. They are especially
nice with green peas served in circle around
them.
Shoulder of Lamb-A shoulder of lamb
cooked as follows is a very cheap and excellent
dinner: Have the butcher cut out the Shouts
der-blade, and the first length and half the
second OF the foreleg, taking care not TO man
gle the meat. Stuff with forcemeat made OF
bread crumbs with one boiled and mashed
onion, seasoned with SALT pepper and sage.

Household Hints.
How to Sweep-Some persons advise scatter
ing small bits OF wet paper over the carpet 20
take up the dust when sweeping. This may
answer well where a broom is used. but II you
use carpet-sweeper you will ind that the
paper does not always come Of the carpet
readily. It hugs down closely that the
sweeper slides over it without being able 70
take hold Of it. We have found nothing 80
satisfactory as bran and salt well moistened
but not wet The bran takes up the dust and
the salt seems 10 freshen up the colors in the
carpet The sweeper will take up. every par.
ticle of it without any trouble.
Carpet Sweeper-Every woman who has q
carpeted floor to sweep ought to have a carpet
sweeper; for two reasons: Ii saves q great deal
of hard work, and it does its work better than
broom, because il takes no the dust, and DOES
not distribute much about the room as IL
thing and dust" il. II deserves use for an.
other reason: II saves the carpet Sweeping
the carpet with a half-worn broom wears il out
more than all the treading-on il gets. If you
use bran on the floor when you sweep the cor
ners of a room out with the broom, and run q
caTpet-sweeper over the rest of the floor, il
will not be necessary TO do much busting. The
children can run a carpet-sweeper well long
before they can be trusted 20 do a coed Job
with the broom. Get one and let them help
you along with your daily work.
Bronzing-Many articles about the house
may be frightened wonderfully by the appli-
cation of br0nzing. III you depend on the
liquid bronze sold in small bottles you will find
that il costs considerable 10 cover much sur.
face, but il you buy bronze powder such as gas
filters use on pipes and mix il with a size of
two parts linseed oil aud one part coach var
nish, you will find that great deal may be
done at little cost. To use il, pour some of the
size into shallow dish-a sauce plate is good
being sure to shake it mp well first, so that the
oil and yarnish will mix. Put some of the
powder into another plate. Dip your brush in
the size. and mix up little of the powder az
a time. Il should be thick enough 10 form a
good body, and must not run. Ii dries rapidly.
u the luster is not enough after once going
over the article, give IL a second coat. Old
frames can be made 10 lock like new in this
way. Ii can be applied to metal or wood.
Any one who can use brush can apply il sat
isfactorily.
Flower Garden and Lawns.
Snow Plows-Have hand-plows for narrow
paths as well as horse-plows for roads. Clear
all the 1aths and roads soon after y fall, and
before the snow gets hardened and tramped.
Holland Bulbs--Dealers sell very low their
leftover stocks, and il may pay TO buy lot
and run the risk Of an open spell in which TO
plant them. Ii nothing better can be done.
plant in boxes OF earth Ia a cool cellar; keep
the tops well covered from light These may
be set out in the open border as soon Is the
ground is open.
