HOME AND FARM.

Goats should never be kept where fruitgrowing is carried on. They are very destructive to trees, eating the bark of.
 Every effort should be made to save the waste materials of the farm. They should be worked into compost, and thus increase the manure heap.
 Beware of salt that does not dis solve immediately. It Is liable to re- main undissolved and make the butter | gritty. unless an extra amount of water is left in the butter, which would be fraud.
 Large. prominent. and luminous eyes indicate language, power, and verbal memory. No one ever saw reserved, saturnine person with a pop-eye, or a pupil possessing them on the dunce- block. This is the eye of the orator
 Cream Mustard: Put half cup | vinegar on the stove to boil. Mix well together tablespoonful dry mustard, 1 teaspoonful salt, eggs, half a cup sweet cream, and stir into the boiling vinegar; place over boiling water, and continue the stirring until the mixture 1 is thick and smooth.
 Horses can, of course, stand more exposure in cold weather than men, | but the same kind of exposure that produces colds, rheumatism, etc, in men will be liable to affect horses in the same way. It is. therefore, apparent that warm stables, good blankets and | protection from severe weather are | necessary.
 Dried Beef Relish: Take the hard, small ends of dried beef, grate, and to every cupful allow four tablespoofuls ot cream, four eggs, well beaten, and a little pepper. Put the meat and cream in stew pan; when hot add the eggs; stir until the mixture becomes thick. Dish up, and serve on squares of buttered toast.
 -'No Smoking" should be worked by the ladies on cards and put up in | sick rooms. Too often the impolite or thoughtless cigar buffer walks right into the room of sick wife, friend or | child, and leaves a cloud of smoke that 1 distresses the patient and, may be, ag- l gravates the existing disease. If God l Bless Our Home" is to mean any thing, No Smoking" is a card needed also. A dairywoman of experience says: You can get more milk from the same COW by having her fresh in fall. She will milk through the winter with but small decrease in milk. Then, when put out in spring on good pasture, she | will increase almost if not quite, to her full flow of milk. When dry, hot weather and flies come you are ready to have her dried off"
 1 -Quince Sauce: One cupful of | quince preserve, half pint of milk, one tablespoonful of corn starch, half a cupful of sugar. Mix the starch l with little of the milk; set the rest on to boil; when it boils stir in the corn starch and cook for ten minutes, | then add the preserve mashed fine and cook five minutes longer; if not sweet enough add sugar and boil five min utes more. Press through strainer or cheese-cloth and serve hot with the pudding.
 It is natural to build the house on an elevated position, as being moro slightly. Except for drainage, how ever, elevation is less advantageous than it may seem. It becomes a pos tive disadvantage on the farm, where | the barns and other buildings are necessarily placed near the house. To draw all the products of farm up a hill to store them is an unnecessary in- crease of expense. Lower land is also less windswept, and as forests are cleared away this becomes an impor- tant advantage in locating buildings.
