Grape vines may be pruned any
time after the leaves fall and before
the sap runs in the spring. Grape cut
tings should be made late in the fall,
and be wintered over, buried in dry
soil out doors, and should be planted
out in the spring after the land is well
settled. Farm and Fireside.

pumpkin, three-quarters cupful sugar,
one egg, half teaspoonful of ginger,

1t is BETTER says an exchange, to
SOW wheat late with the soil in proper
condition.. e., compacted and moist
near the surface-than to get a large
and unnatural growth in dry, hot
weather. 1t should always be remem-
bered that wheat needs a moist, cool
climate, and seeding should be delayed
until this can be obtained.
Canned Squash: Boil the squash
and strain through a colander. If very
dry add a little water. Fill glass jars
with it, screw covers lightly on and set
into boiler of cold water with straw
or perforated board in the bottom of
the boiler. Bring the water to boiling
and cook an hour or more in all. Then
take out the cans. and if the contents
have shrunk fill up with hot water and
seal at once.-N. Y. World.

rolling it. Begin as low down as pos

There is but one way to squeeze a
lemon, and that is the simple, old
fashioned way, between the fingers.
Plenty of power can be brought to bear,
especially if the lemon is well rolled
first. There is as great difference be-
tween the flavor of the juice extracted
in this way and that by the other
methods, as there is between old fash
| ioned buckwheat cakes, when the meal
stands over night, and the new fash
| ioned kind that are made while you
wait.
Lemon Honey: Beat the yelks of
six eggs until light, add gradually,
beating all the while, one pound of
powdered sugar. Beat a quarter of a
pound of butter to cream, add it to
the yelks and sugar, beat well, and
then stir in carefully the well-beaten
whites of four eggs. Pour this into
double boiler and stir continually over
the fire until the mixture is about the
consistency Of very thick cream; take
from the fire, and add the grated rind
of one and the juice OF two lemons, mix,
and turn into stoneware or china
bowl to cool.-Boston Budget.
