HOME AND FARM.

TUNE ANU fAHM.
Fish have boon caught in the Gulf
OF California ut dspth OF fourteen
hundred feet.
Keep the little turkeys out OF tho
water or prepare to count tho number
less and less as rainy days multiply in
the calendar.
III dish towels are thoroughly
washed with soap every morning and
dried in the sun, they need never
swell the already large weekly wash.
AS a plant grows most vigorously
when its roots have a firm hold upon
the soil. SO q farmor is most prosper
Gus when he feels firmly attached to
his farm and thinks Of it as life in
terest to him.
Roast Spare-Rib: Trim of tho
rough ends, crack the ribs through
the middle. rub with salt and pepper;
fold over where cracked, stuff with q
bread dressing. sew up tightly, put in
a baking-pan with pint Of water and
bake both sides good brown.
Cooked potatoes make excellent
food for stock. The small potatoes,
which can not be sold to advantage,
may be used for hogs and poultry. As
an agreeable change for the COW.
cooked potatoes are superior to turnips
or beets.
-Stewed apples for sauce should be
perfectly cooked before adding sugar.
1t will harden the apples and make
them lumpy II put on too soon, unless
they are put through q colander,
which Is unnecessary If they are thor
oughly tender before adding the sugar.
Farm and Home.
Graham Biscuit: Three cupfuls
of graham -four, one cupful OF white
flour, ono egg, two tablespoonfuls OF
brown tugar, two teaspooniuls Of bak-
ing powder. one tablespoonful Of lard.
one saltspoonful of salt, milk enough
to mix. bake moderately.-Boston
Herald.
While there is leisure is a goo
time to arrange the shelter for tn
stock during the winter. It is not
good economy to attempt to winter
more stock than a good comfortable
shelter can be arranged for. and it is
not good plan to wait until it is act
ually needed before beginning the
work.
The N. Y. Times says that it is q
mistake to suppose that plantation
Of young timber would not add 10 the
selling value of q farm. People who
come as recruits to farming from other
business pursuits, are most apt to look
at a thrifty grove OF timber as of more
value-as it really is-than any other
equal area Of land on farm.
Chicken and Beans: Prepare a
chicken for fricassie, put it into ket-
tie with just water enough to cover it.
salt and one small onion; put into a
saucepan one pint of shelled peas with
q few pieces OF salt pork cut very
small. cook until tender; when the
chicken is nearly done pour in the
beans and allow all to cook together
about twenty minutes; remove the
! meat to large platter, to the beans
and gravy add a tablespoonful of flour
mixed in milk, pour in the chicken
and erve.-Boston Herald.
1t is difficult to remove the smells
impaired to the clothing by milking
and the care Of horses. But they may
be largely prevented. Common land
plaster sprinkled freely in horse and
| COW stables will absorb most of the
! ammoniacal odors. A weak solution
of copperas sprinkled from a watering
pot is an additional and very effective
deodorizer. OF course all such means
for maintaining purity are useless
without perfect cleanliness and good
ventilation. But with those and the
simple appliances named, the air OF
the stable may be kept as free from
offensive odors as that of parlor.
