THE KITCHEN.
Cl,eese Cakes.

Here is IN old, old recipe, for some.
thing which used to be considered q
great delicacy. The measures have been
changed to suit modern cooks. Some
of us are old fashioned enough to like
the old things best. Let us know how
you like it.

we'll beaten; II spoonful melted but
ter; half teacupful cream or rich milk;
half II nutmeg; II tablespoonful salt.
Mix the cracker crumbs dry with the
cheese, first removing the wrapper and
taking of the thin film or skin on the
outside of the cheese; crumble the
crumbs and cheese we'll together; add
the eggs, which have been first we'll
beaten up with the sugar. Then the
butter and cream may be added. If the
cream is very rich the butter may be
omitted. Lastly add the lemon, cur
rants, and nutmeg. The currants must
have been washed, dried, and then we'll
busted with cracker dust or flour. Mix
we'll, and put directly in well-buttered
patty-pans that have been lined with
puff paste. Bake fifteen Q twenty min
utes in n quick oven. They will puff
up, but must not be too brown.
For variety omit the currants aud the
lemon. and flavor instead with sweet al
monds and one teaspoonful essence Of
bitter almonds. In puttingin almonds,
blanch them first, then pound them in q

smallest %patty-pans you can get.
The little cheese.loaves may be also
made with the cream or Neufchatei
cheese, and they are very tender and
delicate. The addition Of a few cur
rants is a great improvement to them.

Care of Seed Potatoes.

IL seed potatoes are in the cellar, or
where they can be readily seen, it will
pay to watch them closely to prevent
sprouting. If possible they should be
spread thinly, aud exposed to light and

freezing. II put into a tight barrel the
potatoes will almost certainly be too

JInrotted Sod Under Burrows.

An old sod does moi rot quickly, es-
pecially after a dry season and on heavy
soil. We have often seer the furrow
returned tho following spring, after a
crop of corn had been crown on it tho
year before, and the furrow was plainly
defined by the roots and lenves of the
old sod, Mice take advantage of this
to make their winter burrows out of
reach OF crows, cats and owls. Almost
every stock of corn will have such a
hole reaching under the burrows. A
mouse in this haven cor run faster than
anything can dig to get il out.

too much the practice with farmers to

too much trouble to look afterthem aud

economy to keep sheep for the purpose
of utilizing much that otherwise would
