The barnyard, as a source of fer
tility, is commended as the safest of
any that we have to deal with. We
have nothing to lose and every thing
to gain by managing it properly. This
is confirmed by the verdict of some of
the foremost agriculturists of the Mid
die States. ::
Pork Puffs: Fry the pork nice
brown, turn off the fat, place the spider,
with the pork, back on the stove; when
hot, pour over it a batter made OF three
eggs, three tablespoonful of sweet
cream, three tablespoonful of flour, a
bit ofsalt, all beaten thoroughly. Then
place in a hot oven and: bake about
five minutes. Farm and Fireside.
If care is taken to cure the pota-
toes well and to store where they are
certain to keep dry there is less risk of
damage than if they are left in the
ground. But if they are dug and are
piled up without curing, or if piled
where there will be more or less water
to drip down on them, the better plan
will be to let them stay in the ground
until cooler.
Cucumber Salad: Two young Gu
cumbers, halt teaspoonful of salt, quar-
ter teaspoonful of black pepper, four
tablespoonful of vinegar. Pare and
slice the cucumbers very thin, soak
them in cold water one hour, then
drain and dry. Put them in the salad
bowl, sprinkle them with the salt and
pepper, and pour over the vinegar.
Serve Immediately.
Picked Grapes: Take grapes fresh
picked and take them off the stems
carefully and put in a jar. To six
pounds of grapes use one quart of
vinegar. three and one-half pounds of
sugar, a little cinnamon bark and a
few whole cloves. Boil together ten
minutes and cool so it is lukewarm;
then pour over the grapes, put plate
over them and tie up securely. DO not
cook the grapes at all. They will keep
q long time.-Good Housekeeping.
The farmer who breakfasts on
fried pork, who eats pork and potatoes
for dinner and more of the same sort
for supper in the summer. should not
find fault when he discovers himself to
be i'll. His table should abound with
berries and fine vegetables. He owes
it to himself and to his family to see
that it is thus supplied. We are glad
to know that the number of farmers
who neglect this duty is steadily
diminishing, but there are still enough
remaining to make this admonition
necessary.--O G. Farmer.
