This will notinjure colors.
Kerosene oil will soften leather shoes
that have been wetted ;or muchine belts
or harness that has been soaked with
rain
Ammonia water will kill any acid that
has been droppedupon clothes In most
eases, a few drops Of chlorolorm will then
restore the color
Trees about the house make Il more
homelike and attractive, and shield II
from the cold winds of winter and the
hot sun Of isulmer.
II IN better 10 have close, warm pen,
excluding snow and cold, and not give
the pigs two much bedding. II given the
chance they will cover themselves with
straw until they become steaming hot,
and then 40 outside to the cold, thus
making themselves sick from colds affect
ing their lungs.
\ A wholesome Disl, Of Onions. Boil
them in salt and water until they begin
to he tender, drain the water from them
and wrap each onion in soft paper, set
them side by side into dripping pan,
let them bake until done, then put them
into vegetable dish and pour rich brown
gravy over them.
Rust stains in clothing--or ink stains
which are about the same thing-can he
removed az follows Add two parts OF
cream OF tartar 10 one part Of oxalice
acid, dry, and keep the mixture in 4
bottle wet the stained part and apply q

Swiss 0melette. Break six eggs in
bowl, add gill OF cream, quarter pound
of grated cheese, some pepper and salt.
Pour into a buttered pan. Stir the ONE
lette well about for few seconds, 80
that 1t will not set like sponge cake.

crumbs added before cooking improve
the dish ior some tastes.

der chicken in neat pieces and fry brown
In fresh butter with few strips OF bacon.
keeping the pan covered Season with
pepper and salt. Boil a handful OF the
small Italian macaroni, for twenty min
ntes, drain through colunder, add
large piece OF butter, cup OF rich, strong
gravy, and, II liked, some grated Par

Screenings consist not merely Of crack
ed or imperfect grain, but contain also
many heads Of weeds seeds that unfit
them for feeding whole to any kind OF
stock. Small seed are seldom digcsted
and some oil the hardest Of them grow
even better after passing through the
stofnachs OF horses and cattle. IL il this
that makes barnyard manure 10 prolific
OF weeds wherever ii is applied. II s
safer TO grind screenings, though il
they consist almost entirely OF weed
seeds, IL may be even better economy TO
burn them.
While eve is bearing lamb part Of
her nutrition goes TO sustaining that.
Her fleece is therefore not SO heavy ~
that of the wether, that las no such de-
mand and is equally well fed In lamb
ing time the eve has usdally some lever
which injurously affects the quality Of
the WOO, by making d weak place in that
grown at this period. But in practical
selling the wool crop comparatively few
BUYERS can make such distinctions. They
buy low enough 80 that poor wool will pass
muster and leave them profitable COM
mission.
In very many places in the west where
wheat was once grown itnow fails so per-
sistently that its culture has TO be aban-
doned Some parts OF Iowa and South
ern Minnesota are now in this condition.
The winters are not quite 80 cold as
formerly, but ii is the summer heats that
wither the plant. Some wheat is still
occasionally grown by sowing the spring
variety with oats and harvesting both to-
gether, separating the grains aiterward.
II is not poverty of soil that causes wheat
failure, as the crop fails on land broken
up forthe first time, as well as on that
long tllled.
Those who start cuttings in water will
use a bottle with wide mouth, they will
find IL an easy matter 10 remove the plant
when the time comes 10 pot it, without
injuring the roots. Or, after the roots
have reached the side Of the glass, they
can sft the fine earth into the bottle till
ii is an inch or two in depth. After the
roots have taken possession Of this soil
the top Of the bottle can be broken off by
a sharp blow with knife, and then the
mass Of earth can be slipped out without
disturbing the roots in the least, in ex-
actly the same manner AZ the ball Of
earth in which plant is growing can be
removed from pot.
Apple and Sago Pudding. Pare and
core d half dozen sour, juicy apples, and
arrange them in a buttered pudding dish
