Hints to TouSekeepers,

hIntS TO HSuSekeeperS.
Mix stove backing with spirits of
turpentine. 1t will take off the rust,
polish easier. and stay glossy longer
than when water is used.
Fold q bread cloth small and Law
over the top of the pan, taking it off
some time before baking the bread.
so that the dough can rise we'll above
the tin before putting it in the oven.
A simple cough remedy is made of
an ounce of faxseed boiled in a pint
Of water, a little honey added, an
ounce of rock candy and the juice of
three lemons, the whole mixed and
boiled we'll.
A pound OF sugar is usually required
to every pint of juice, though less may
be used in making curraut or ripe
grape jellies. For straining the Juice.
it should never be extracted by squeez-
ing, but allowed to drip through the
jelly bag.
If jelly does not form the next day
after being made, it is useless to cook
it over. If it does not become firm
when first cooled, standing it in the
sun before covering it will sometimes
assist in hardeningit. jelly should be
well covered and kept in cool, dry
place. - .9 +.
Always sift all kinds of meal and
flour, taking a wire sieve, as hair
sieve is too fine. measuring before sift-
ing, unless otherwise directed. It
makes a great difference for corn bread
what kind of meal is used. Always
use the yellow bolted meal for brown
bread, and for any recipe for corn
bread, unless white meal is specified.
Half pint jelly-glasses are the best.
They should be rinsed in scalding
water and dried, then stood up side by
side in some large pan, and filled with
the Jolly to the brim. Allow them to
stand day Or two in some sunny win
dow, cover them, if possible, with bits
Of glass. and as the moisture gathers
on the underside wipe it carefully
away.
Save the small paper bags carefully
which groceries come in; they are
useful in many ways. Slip the hand
in one when you black the stove, and
you will not soil it. When the flies
abound, slip them over the cleaned
during the day. After
fruit is canned draw them over the
can. and label them plainly; the action
of the light causes more fruit to spoil
that any one thing.
A cement which will adhere perfect
~ to glazed surfaces. repair broken
minerals, or in fact stick to anything,
is made by taking two ounces of clear
gun arabic. Il ounces of fine starch.
one-half ounce of white sugar. Pull
verize the gum arabic. and dissolve it
in as much water as the laundress
would use for the quantity of the
starch indicated. Dissolve the starch
and sugar in the gum solution. Then
cook the mixture in vessel suspend
ed in boiling water until the starch be-
comes clear The cement should be
as thick as tar and kept so. It can be
kept from spelling by dropping in !.

Stock and Dairy Notes.

The common disease of the feet CT
cattle known as foot ail'' is caused by
neglect to keep the feet clean Filth
and sand getting between the claws of
the hoof soften, irritate and grind
down the skin and then ulcerates under
the constant irritation. A cure is
easily made by washing the feet clean,
Keeping them clean, and applying
healing applications
Any farmer who has not got money
enough to buy Il good portable cream
cry put who has cool spring or who
can get ice, may safely borrow money
10 procure this apparatus. If he is
only half smart he will have his
creamery paid for in less than year
from no more than five COWS.
Many a farmer is daily enviously
complaining. because he has not
money enough to buy a lot of pure
bred cows. To improve what he has
by better feeding and care, the use of
green fodder crops when the pastures
1all and good winter keeping, and so
on, would be better for him 10 the end
than herd of cows costing 81, 900.

NO good dalryman should hesitate to
help his poorer brethren by word or
act, lest perchance ne might think
there might be more competition.
Ihere is room enough for ali, espe
clallp at the top, and more butter
would be used if it were all made good
AS Easy to Go Up as to Go Down.
We hear good deal of the deteriora-
ton of all kinds OF stock by neglect,
but few have any facts to state in the
contrary direction. Every person
knows that the high bred cattle have
been brought up into their high condi-
tlon In fewer years than the common
stock has been running down; but it is
not generally thought that a reversal
OF these two processes will persevere
for 10 years in the best feeding and
breeding of herd of well selected
native COWS and a fairly good native
bull, it is very certain that he can
double or treble the value of them:
that is, the produce will be so much
better than the original stock. But it
is hardly necessary to say that if the
improvement is begun by pure bred
Dull or good character, the end NAV be
reached in one-haif or one-third of tn e
time. because it is begun from a higher
step. But 70 one should be tempted
to neglect the improvement of his com
mon stock because OF the too prevalent

these details:
A straight wind from the northwest
struck Fargo at $50 \. NJ. Great dam

Dozens of small houses were razed
and almost every plate glass window on
Front Street and Broadway was broken.
The Jay Cooke hotel and the Grand Pa
citic at Moorhead were unroofed. The
residence of the late Capt. Mccarthy
corner of Fifth and Ninth, was struck
by the storm and demolished. Seven
children were instantly killed and Mrs.
Mccarthy is not expected to live. Two
unknown tramps sleeping Ill boX-car

Sixteen of the passengers are reported
