Bananas baked without the skins. and
eaten cold with cream and sugar or hot
with wine sauce, are considered delicious
for desert.
Slip is an old-fashioned concoction Of
Southern origin. Its simplicity recommends
it. Warm quart of new milk, stirring in
a tablespoonful of prepared rennet After
it has thickened set it on ice and serve
with cream and sugar.
Spiced currants. to serve with meat, are
an agreeable relish. To four quarts of cur
rants, washed and stemmed, add two and
one-half quarts of light brown sugar, one
spoonful of ground cinnamon, one of
ground cloves, and half spoonful of
ground allspiee, also one pint of w ne vine
gar Mash the currants, stir often, and
cook slowly for two hours.
Almost any baked fish is wonderfully i'm
proved by the addition of cream. and
mackerel is no exception. This Is one of
the very best ways of preparing salt mack
erel, and if the fish is strictly first quality,
it makes delicious dish. Lay the we'll
freshened fish, skin-slde down. in baking
pan. and cover with crean-a pint of cream
to three or four mackerels. Take up care
fully, and butter literally; pour over the
hot cream sauce and serve at once. No
other flavoring will be desired. Canned
fish, salmon. blue fish, ETC., may be most
satisfactorily served in the same way.
They will need salt, and as they only re-
quire to be heated through. they can be
prepared in very short time.

Ohio FARMER.
Mr.. X. Scott. successful potato-grower
of Wisconsin. gave his experience at one of
the institutes of that State, last winter.
He cuts the seed end of the potato off and
throws it away. then cuts the rest in two
eye-pieces He plants in hills, in rows
three feet apart both ways, drops one piece
in hill. and covers four to five inches
deep. He harrows the ground once before
the potato tops appear. with slant-tooth
harrow, and continues at intervals until
all the plants are above ground; then he
uses fine-tooth single cultivator, and stifs
the ground Immediately after every rain.
The killing is done when the vines are in
full bud to blossom. He figures up the cost

How to Improve Seeds,

It's generally known that the same laws
prevail 10 improving grains aud vegeta
bles that do IN breeding animals Careful
selection and breeding from the best or
growing crops from the best selected heads
or ears, is the rule. The general tendency
of Nature is that like shall produce like.
Variations that are an improvement have
tendency to perpetuate themselves. Act
ing on these simple tendencies OF laws,
new varieties OF grain, fruits aud vegets
bes have been established. When man
nnds an extra fine stalk or stool OF wheat
growing In his field, he selects the best
heads of the stool and perhaps the best
kernels in the chosen heads, grows them In
good soil by themselves where there can
be no cross fertilization, and from the crop
he makes another selection OF heads aud
seeds. lie may thus 60 on for years The

About Doctors Bills.

Many q struggling family has all 1t can do

Sickness is one of the legacies Of life, and

II. Warner of Rochester, \. Y, President Of
the Chamber of Commerce of that city, was
a few years ago stricken with kidney disease,
which the physicians declared incurable. In
this extremity friend recommended TO him
a vegetable preparation now known through
out the civilized world as Warmers Safe
Cure. He tried it and was quickly restored
TO perfect health. The incident led him to
begin the manufacture Of the wonderful pre-
paration, and to make its merits known in all

He has now laboratories and warehouses in
the United States not only, but in Canada,
England, Germany, Austria Australia and

Planning Of n FIr's Wing.

In his book "On the Senses, Instincts
and Intelligence of Animals" Sir John
Lubbock records some of his later obser-
vations, among which are these.
The slow tapping of a butterfy's wing
produces no sound, but when the move
ments are rapid a noise is produced, which
increases in shrillness with the number of
vibrations. Thus the househy, which
produces the sound F, vibrates its wings
q, 100 times a minute, or 3S5 times in a
second, and the bee, which makes sound
of A, as many as 26;400 times, or 440
times in a second. On the contrary, a
tired bee huns on f, and therefore, ac-
cording to theory, vibrates its wings only
$50 times a second.
Marcy has succeededin confirming these
numbers graphically. He fixed fly so
that the tip of the wing just touched a
cylinder, which was moved by clock
work Each stroke of the wing caused
a mark, of course, very slight, but still
quite perceptible, and he thus showed
that there were actually $50 strokes in
second, agreeing almost exactly with the
number inferred from the note produced.
