of butter, little salt, pepper, and three
tables spoonfuls Of milk.
More butter is injured by keeping the
cream too long before churning than in
any other manner. The churning should
be performed as soon as the cream is
ripe, even if there is only small guam
tity to churn.
Orchard grass will thrive well on damp
locations. 1t is an excellent grass, but
''stools," which gives it an unes en- ap-
pearanCe in the fields AS it becomes
more compact each season it soon forms
an even pasture.
The Emerald Gem cantaloup is one Of
the most delicious varieties that has been
grown this season. 1t is of medium size,
but cracks sometimes when ripe. The
rind is dark, and it does not present an
attractive appearance, though deeply
ribbed and netted. But with these dis
advantages against it there is no variety
that equals it in flavor, while the quality
OF flesh is superior to any other.
Veal Outlets with Tomato Puree-Cut

and serve with either sliced, hard boiled
eggs or sliced lemon. Instead OF butter,
three tablespoonfuls of rich cream may
be heated with it.
Truth for Ruralists.- Here is a bit OF
gospel truth which is worthy the con-
sideratiOn of farmers who are tempted to
extravaganza, either by pride or the dis
plav of their neighbors. 4 farmer can
live happier in his old house, out CT debt,
than he can in a new, fine one with
mortgage on it, A family can worship
more devoutly going to church in farm
wagon, when they are not afraid OF any
creditor meeting them than to 20 III
fine carriage with Chatttl mortgage on
the horses, subject to be foreclosed at
any time.
Complete protection Of choice plants
exposed to the attacks OF CutwOrms may
be secured, according to Mr.. A. W.
Cheever, OF the New England Farmer, by
surrounding the stems with strips OF
folded newspaper. Last year, he says,
while away from home, a dozen tomato
plants set III the usual way in his garden
were nearly all DESTROYED in two or three
DAYS. This year, OF more than two
dozen, set with a fence of folded news
papers around each, not one has been
touched. although cut-wOrms are abun-
dant in the garden.
Veal Olives two pounds Of veal
into strips three inches long and two
inches wide Make a dressing OF one
cup of stale bread crumbs, one table
spoonful OF melted butter, seasoned with
salt, pepper and sweet herbs Mix and
spread on the strips OF veal; roll them up
and tie tightly; roll in flour and brown
in boiling fat Then put in saucepan,
pour over pint OF soap stock, thlcken
with a little flour and let simmer two
hours. Take up, remove the string, put
the olives in dish, strain the sauce.

Farmers WHO object to paying large
sums for choice animals should estimate
the increased value due to improvement,
for a single season, Of the young stock.
Such a calculation will show that, II the
flock or herd is large, the gain OF the
stock will be greater than the cost OF !
male or anv Of the thoroughbred breeds
It is consequently economical to improve,
and the farmer who does not do 80 IS
really exit avagant, as he deprives him
self of the advantages oil better stock,
higher prices, and larger profits, without
any increase in the expenses OF food and
labor.
German Honey Cakes.-The delicious
honey cakes are not often seen nova
davs, and few OF the younger generation
know of this good variety OF cakes. SlX
ounces of honey and two generous table
spoonfuls of butter are to be gently
warmed together. Mix lightly with six
ounces of sifted -four, half teaspooniul
of grated nutmeg, with the slme Quantity
each of grated lemon pfel and carbonate
of soda. Mix with the honey and butter,
and let it stand over night. Roll out
thinly, cut into shapes and bake IN !
gentle oven. All cakes that have either
molasses or honey in them should bake
with a slow heat. The acid in the honey
ia sufficient to combine with the soda,
and no cream of tartar is necessary. 1t
is the same way with melasses IN com
bination with soda.
Breeding and Inter-Breeding.-I
These terms have often been used by
writer's on breeding domestic animals, as
SYNONYMOUS but they are really OF quite
a different signification. ln-breedlng
means the mating OF animals which are
more or less closely related; While INT T.
breeding is the mating OF cross-Dred
animals. that have no relationship with
each other. For example, suppose
Shorthorn and Hereford are bred to-
gether, the offspring possesses half the
blood of each. Next, suppose the same
of a Sussex and a Devon, then the on
spring of these two crosses bred together.
This would be inter-breeding, their par
ents having no consanguinity OF blood
between them. 1t is safe course To
pursue /; and for the attainment of special
ends NAV at times prove quite an dvan-
tage to the cattle breeder. In-breedlng,
or breeding iu-and.in, as it is more gene
rally termed, is dangerous unless to
person of great experience, and who is
perfect Judge OF the perfections OF ami
mails then it may be advantageous: 1t
