The best and most convenient
cover for a jelly tumbler IS thin
paper fastened over the top OF tho
glass by q rubber band.
An authority says that fish sauce
should always be thick enough to adj
here to the fish. 1t is better to be too
chick than too thin.
Green apples seldom trouble grow
ing boys much, outside OF the funny
columns of the papers.-SOmerville
journal.
1t is a good idea for tall woman
to have her kitchen table and ironing
board little higher than ordinary
1t will save many backache.-Good
Housekeeping.
Cabbage soup is made with the
fresh cabbage cut into small pieces
and cooked very rapidly. 1t is thick
ened with sour cream and buckwheat
noodles, made of buckwheat batter
fried ON the griddle.
TO say there is no use for the gem
eral-purpose COW ON the farm is as
much as to say there is no use for the
general purpose horse on the farm.
while the. fact is that this horse usually
does all the work.
Any community which raises good
draft horses will be found prosperous
and progressive. When half dozen
or ten good teams are put upon the
market and bring into the neighbor-
hood from three to five thousand dol
lars it helps every body in it and
drives the wolf from many door,

Tomatoes and Onions: Prick the
small ripe tomato skins and lay them
in layers, cover with small onions and
sprinkle with salt, let them stand q
week, drain off salt water. put the
tomatoes in jar and cover with strong
vinegar. Boil a pint OF vinegar with
red pepper. horseralish. spices and
mustard, add to the Iickles.
Oyster Sauce: Take oysters from
their liquor and put 'hem in cold wa
ter. Put the liquor ever the fire, take
the oysters out Of the cold water and
drain. When the liquor drains put in
the oysters, season we'll with butter
and salt. and thicken with a little flour.
Add the juice. of one lemon. or omit
and add one cup of sweet cream.
Root crops should be well dried
before being stored. Mounds outside
should be made water tight, but a
wisp of straw should be inserted to
permit of ventilation. Roots are sell
dom injured by cold if properly pro-
.ected, but too much warmth will i'm
nedi.tely damage them. When q
mound is frozen on the surface there
Is then but little danger of injury IL
The roots are we'll covered.
Celery Vinegar: One bunch u
:elery. or one fourth pound of celery
seed, one quart of good strong vinegar
one tablespoonful of sugar, one tea
spoonful of salt. Chop the celery,
heat the vinegar and salt together,
pour over the celery. put in jar and
let stand for two weeks. Strain and bot
lie for use 1t should be covered close
ly during the time it stands. A glass
:an with screw top would be the best
vessel to put it in.-Household.
-JudiciOus work on woodland is re-
markably we'll paid for. and the sea-
son for this work is fall. During
spring and summer there is not time
for this work, and during the winter.
when the ground is frozen and covered
with snow during the greater part Of
the time. the work can not be thor
oughly done. This is manifest when
we consider that an important part Of
the work named must be done with the
brush-scythe and the grubbing-hoe.
The latter implement can not be used
Turing winter, and the work OF the
,cythe is not so effective at any other
season as in fall.-Country Gentleman.
