season the potatoes as for the table.
Wet teacup and press some OF this in
the cup. Turn out on tin as many
as YOU wish for dinner. Beat an egg
and rub each cake with il; then set

To make fruit sauce that is nice
for many puddings, reduce one cup
ful OF. berries to q pulp. BY pressing
them through fine sieve; add to them
one cupful OF sugar beaten to a creasm
with one chpful OF butter; add the

After the grain is harvested it is a
number one plan to clean up the stack
yard. Beforebeginning stacking. draw
out all the manure, and II any old
straw is left that can be used for
bedding put that in as little space as
possible, mend UP the fences and have
"a place ready for stackmaking by the
time the grain is dry enough to draw
In.
If eggs are to be preserved for use
| late in fall or early winter, care should
be taken to select those that are fresh,
to store them in cool place and en-
tirely to close the pores Of the shell.
If this is carefully done. they can be
kept with little loss. 1t is not to be
Expected that they will be fully equal
to fresh eggs, but for many purposes
they will answer as we'll.
To make delicious peach jam or
marmalade, allow half pound Of
sugar to every pound Of peaches. Put

utes. Set back on the fire and sim
mer twenty minutes longer. stirring
occasionally that it may not scorch.

This is the road that most Of our
young take to destruction: ION a
small income he must have three or
four fifty dollar suits per year; must
be shaved by fashionable barber;
must carry an expensive cane and a
| fine silk umbrella; must board at a
fashionable house; must take his dull
cinea to the theater at total cost
of seven dollars, including tickets,
carriage and supper, and SO on. ''-:
| Repeated experiments show that
the cost OF producing>a pound OF poul-
try does not exceed five~eeats, pro-
vided the bird is sold as soon as it
reaches maturity. When it reaches a
certain stage of growth the increase
OF weight is slow, and the expense will
| be higher. During warm weather the
cost is lessened. as but little food is
required to repair waste Of tissue, the
| bird being then able to pick up a por-
tion OF its food, but the cost OF fowls II
confined is somewhat larger.
Apple Pudding. A very nice pud-
ding is made from stale cake and
stewed apples. either fresh or dried.
Crumble the cake and put thick
layer in a buttered pudding dish, add
layer OF stewed apples and add an
other Of cake crumbs. For quart
dish OF this mixture, beat the yelks OF
two eggs and the white of one with a
pint of milk and three tablespoonful
OF sugar. pour over the cake and APP
pies and bake thirty minutes. Draw
to the oven door and cover with a
meringue made from the white of the
egg beaten with sugar.
