RECIPE FOR ANGEL CAKE.

The New York Worlds Housekeeper
finds the following recipe for angel cake
very good: Sift the flour once before
measuring, then take one tumblerful Of
the sifted flour and add to it level tea
spoonful of cream-of tartar and sift six
or seven times. Sift the sugar once
powdered is the best-and measure a
tumblerful and half of the sugar and
mix with the flour and cream of tartar.
Take the whites of eleven eggs and beat
them to stiff froth. Add the flour and
sugar slowly, beating ali the time. Flavor
with teaspoonful of vanilla. Bake
about forty minutes in a very slow oven.
Cover the cake for the first twenty-five
minutes. 1t should be very light deli
cate brown when done. Let it remain in
the pan when done. Slice with a sharp
pointed knife held perpendicularly.

POTTED LIVER.

Farmers who live at a distance from a
market will find this delicious use for
the liver of the veal which they may kill,
as country butchers often do not appreci-
ate the value of veals liver and will
give as much for an animal without either
that delicacy or the sweetbreads. Boil
the liver until tender, turn out in a
wooden chopping bowl and beat with a
wooden potato masher while hot. Re-
move all skin and gristle and pound to a
paste, seasoning with salt, cayenne,
cloves and mace; add enough of the
gravy to make smooth and creamy paste
and pack in small cups or jars. Pour
melted butter over the top of each until
we'll covered and keep in a cool place.
1t is very nice for luncheons or supper in
hot weather. Turn into a platter, slice
thiDly and serve with thin strips of but
tered bread, white or brown, or spread
over hot buttered toast.-American Ag-
riculturist.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

For cleaning glasses belonging to ma
hogany furniture, use either powdered
whiting or scraped rottenstone mixed
with sweet oil, and rub on with a chamois
skin.
Eggs shells crushed into small bits and
shaken we'll in decanters, three parts
filed with cold water, will not only clean
them thoroughly, but make the glass
look like new.
The walls of each room should be
brushed, buster should be tied over
broom and then passed up and down.
The duster must, of course, be shaken
from time to time.
For cleaning windows and mirrors one
of the best things is plain soft water and
chamois leather, having a dry chamois
leather as we'll to polish with afterward.
This process will not answer near the sea,
because of the salt in the atmosphere.
The scrubbing of floors should be done
with bath BRICK dust or sand and ordi-
nary household soap. The object Of the
brick dust or sand is to whiten boards.
After washing leave all the doors and
windows open for it to dry very quickly,
which also helps to whiten the boards.
When taDlecloths are worn beyond
mending cut square pieces from the best
parts of them and hem them neatly.
They make nice napkins for the little
children to use at the table, and also do
nicely for them to carry their lunches to
school in. for if they are stained or lost
it will not matter much, as your sets win
not be broken.

GOOsEBERRY FOOL.

A very delicious dish with a queer
me-''gooseberry fooI"-comes to US
from our great OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, and
is particularly acceptable in warm
weather. Boil green gooseberries until
tender, mash the fruit to make JUICE,
adding but little water; mash through a
hair sieve. To quart of the strained
berries allow coffee cupful of sugar,
and boil up once. It is delicious when
cold, and should be eaten with cream.
If the latter is fresh it will not curdle.
It is also very nice with boiled custard.
Rhubarb may be prepared in the same
manner.-Neu York World.

CARE OF MILK.

A cheese manufacturer in this State,
says George E. Newell in the american
Agricudurist, has had the following
pointed advice printed at the head of the
dividend sheets he issues to his patrons
Take good care of your nights milk, it
will pay you" Where milk is delivered
at the factory only once in twenty-tOur
hours, more than ordinary attention at
the dairyman's hands is necessary to pre-
serve its quality. Especially is this true
IN hot weather, and on nights when the
air is disturbed by electrical storms It
is of vital interest to the manufacturer to
always receive good milk, for the repu-
tation of his stock must be maintained,
md profitable money returns yielded to
his patrons. OF deeper significance also
is the public health, which may be jeo-
pardized as greatly through carelessness
and ignorance in the dairy as by loose
sanitary conditions in the face Of pesti-
lence. The thought of eating ''hurt
meat" fills every one with adherence,
yet the consumption Of tainted milk is as
dangerous to human health. Milk NAV
develop a fatal poison, and yet reveal
little OF 1t to the sense of smell. There
are two general species of faint that affect
milk. When warm from the udder and
lying In deep vessel it generates one
character of decomposition, and rank
odors emanating from decaying animal
or vegetable matter cause the other. To
avoid both, milk must be set in a draught
OF pure air, and be aerated thoroughly
by stirring, or by driving air through
the mass. The fluid should not be vio-
1ently handled while it is cooling and
airing, or partial separation of the but
ter globules ensues. In whatever char
acter of vessel milk is stored over night,
the material of course being tin, free
circulation Of air should be secured un-
der the bottom as we'll as around the
sides. Cans of large diameter should be
employed, and only a moderate quantity
of milk be stored in a can. For a dairy
man who regularly patronizes a cheese
factory and makes a day delivery of
milk once day, properly constructed
cooling stand should be part of his
equipment 1t should stand on an ele-
waited location convenient to the milk
ing barn, and one open to a free circula-
ton of air from all quarters. Posts are
set on ten feet high with a shingled roof,
and a floor as high above the ground as
wagon box. This will make a struc-
ture that the wind can not blow down,
and it will be rain-proof unless from a
driving storm. A low roof, or boarded
up sides should be avoided as the object
to offer no obstruction to the freest

THE CARE OF LAMBS.

At lambing time the pen should be
made extra warm and comfortable, as
lambs dropped during severe cold wealth
er Especially if Merinos or fine wools)
soon become chilled unless the room is
warm, or prompt attention is paid to
them by the attendant. Should the eve
fail to own her lamb, 1t is best to tie her
up in a separate stall; or, better still,
partition off one corner of the pen 80 that
she may not be shut away from the flock
If the lamb becomes chilled it may be fed a
few tablespoonfuls of warm milk, mixed
with One-tenth part of brandy of whisky
or, in the absence of these, few drops
of Jamaica ginger or pain-killer may be
administered with the milk. This
treatment, with wrapping in a wooden
blanket and placing near the stove,
should soon restore the lamb to vigor
If it is placed in the pen with others, it
is good plan to place upon the nose of
the mother few drops of the same ma
terial that was mixed with the lamb s
drink. This hint will often cause the
eve to own her lamb, OF even a strange
lamb, when otherwise trouble would be
experienced.
The first six hours of a lambs life is
the most critical time; hence many farm
ers will 90 to the barn at midnight to
look after their flock, and it often pays
to do so, as wcll-kept lamb is worth in
October not less than 81. so, and often s.
is obtained for them. When a week old
lambs will begin to eat the leaves and
clover heads, and also the fine leaves of
timothy, cornstalks, etc. But clover is
their favorite. and should be given them
if possible. 1t not only adds growth,
but makes them strong and hearty.
No doubt some of the ewes viii be-
come thin in flesh. These, with their
lambs, should have separate enclosure,
and be fed an extra ration of grain, plac-
ing the feed trough low enough SO that
that the lambs may also eat a portion of
it. Remember that to be successful in
lamb raising one needs healthy sheep,
good food, warm quarters and prompt
attention-Nee0 York Examiner.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
VALUE OF SALT As A FERTILIZER

ALI plants contain more or less salt,
and the more of it as the soil is suffi-
GENTLY provided with it. Salt is neces-
sary for the digestion of food, hence salt
is an indispensable element of plant
food. Grass and pasture are especially
benefited by it. Five hundred pounds
of cheap salt, sold for the purpose at
about Sc per ton, may be applied now
as soon as the grass starts growth.
Glover is equally benefited by it. Man
gels and other root crops should receive
from four hundred to six hundred
pounds per acre cabbages, and especially
asparagus, need salt. Oats and wheat
are benefited by it, the effect of it being
to stiffen the straw and enlarge the
grain, giving it a clear, bright skin. The
salt has also a beneficial effect on the
soil by its chemical action.

WE pntlish letter from Represen-
stative Downham to day, arguing in de-
fence of his position during the session
Of the Legislature which failed to call a
constitutional convention. As usual
with our talkative friend he says great
deal without saying anything Our OBJ.
ject In publishing the report Of the cen
ferrees was to show that Senator
Richardson actively and Senator Moore
tnciily agreed With the Democrats on
the time Of calling the convention, and
that Mr. Downhams opposition pre-.
vented the call Of a convention at time
that was agreeable TO all the other mem
bers of the committee, including both
parties. Mr. Downham's letter ad-
mits that, and that is what we
wanted 70 show. He may apologize
and quibole o his hearts content but
the fact stands absolutely unlmpeacha.
bic that the only mode that could have
been agreed upon is the one which he
op posed and defeated. He might have
proposed a thousand modes which would
have been rejected hY the Democrats, but
that would not have made his position
any stronger when he rejected the mode
proposed by Senator Donahoe which
would have carried but for his opposition.
Mr.. Downham may Eiggle and stagger
but he must bear the load Of killing the
only bill that could have been passed or
throw the load of on Higgins and Bach,
under whose orders he was acting. But
even II that we're not SO Mr.. Dowaham
gives his case away in admitting thus:
II is true that Senator Richardson
signed their report, but he did il as he
said, because h III loaf is better than
no bread. aud he thought any vote.
though not as he preferred It, was better
than no vote.
If Representative Downham had not
been wiser than Senator Richardson we
should have had a new constitution. The
Legislature could have adjourned to
meet within three months to count the
vote and complete the call for eonven-
tion, II Mr. Downham had not known
something more or something less than
Senator Richardson.

REy. J. 5 Willis has written a card,
which the Every Evening regards as a
sincere and complete denial, that he has
assisted to circulate the story that the
Milford negro church had sold its
suffrages. But the preacher in politics
certainly has weakened his denial BY
waiting SO long to make it and by the TO-.
Sowing admission:
have spoken OF the rumor that such
an Offer had been made, and exhorted the
colored voters not to be beguiled by such
things. This is the head and front Of
nay offending
That evidently means that he has not
made the charge boldly, but that he has
made sinister innunendo which m ay
have been far more effective. We have
little respect for any preacher in poll
tics but every man has supreme con-
Tempt for the man who would betray men
who have betriended him. Ths Causeys
befriended Rev. Willis, when he need ID

work was not worth more than half of
the price charged by Coffin, SO. He had
paid the builder So and considered that
sufficient. The justice gave Judgment

CHEAP LOGIC.

Here are ssme more diverse argu.
ments on cheapness from the protection
list press. The Minneapolis Tribune tells
its political economy constituency that
Never in the history Of this country
have commodities been so cheap on the
average as within the past year or two
gears. Most Of them have been unduly
cheap. They have been manufactured
upon the basis of too lew a price for
bread-stuffs and for raw materials.
OF course that is new revelation from
the doctrinaire advisor of the Western
farmer who had begun to conceive that
If plows, reapers, trace-chains, nails and
tin were cheaper his wheat would pur-
chase more OF them. Finding, however,
that the farmer, and the consumer gem
orally, was getting commodities "unduly
cheap" the protectionist philantrophIst
devised and passed the Mckinley bill as
a corrective measure to stop commodities
from being "unduly cheap But the
New York Commercial Bulletin explains
thus:
The fact is that the change in prices
thus far has been go manifestly due to
the partial failure Of certain crops that
it is strange how any other reason should
be assigned. But for that single in
huence there is no evidence that prices
would be. on the whole, any higher or as
high as they were year ago.
Both Of these are Republican and pro-
tectionist opinions. One says that com
modities which were ''unduly cheap"
have been corrected by the Mckinley
blessing The other says that there is
no evidence that trace.chains, nails, tin
plate and other things like them would
exhibit any change in prices, but for the
partial failure Of certain crops, straw
berries and tomatoes for exam pie. SO
that poor Sussex farmer, who does not
hump himself" and make a good crop Of
tomatoes not only loses his income, but
must pay more for all commodities and
implements that he is com
PEELED to buy. Does it not seem
that the only cheap, plentiful,
free for-sll, inexhaustibIe and untaxed
thing the Republicans have to offer is
logic. Some people would be inclined to
stigmatize both of the above citations
from the Republican press as nonsense.
But that is the food the Republican
beasts feed upon. They are said to be
educated, intelligent, and honest people.
That may be SO, but these extracts and
many others similarly curious and mex
plicable do not warrant any violent guar
antees for their education, intelligence
or honesty.
