Receipts for Pies.

PUMPKIN PIE.-One cupful OF cook
ed pumpkin, three quarters of q cupful
of sugar, one egg, one teaspoonful Of
ginger, pinch of salt, little grated
nutmeg, one cupful Of milk. This
quantity will make one deep, large pie,
or two Of medium size. Another
receipt, richer, and for three or four
pies. according to size, is as follows:
One quart ofstewed pumpkin, six eggs,
two quarts Of milk, one teaspoonful Of
mace, one ofcinnamon, the same of nut.
meg, and one and half cupfuls of
sugar. Beat the eggs light and WHIP
in the sugar, then the pumpkin, FIRST
rubbed through fine colander, then
add the spice, and lastly mix in the
milk. Bake in open shells of paste.
Serve cold, with cheese.
RABBIT PIE.-Line the sides of a
baking dish with good puff paste,
then lay in the bottom pieces Of rabbit
that have been boiled for about twenty
minutes. Strew parsley, salt, and pepper
over them; then put layer Of sliced
potatoes over the rabbit, then another
layer of the meat and seasoning. aDdso
on until the dish is full Over the top
layer strew bits Of butter, and pour
pint of water or milk over all before
putting 90 the top crust. Bake until
the crust is rich brown. and serve 10
the dish in which it was baked.
BIRD PIE Bird pie is made of any
of the small edible birds. When the
birds are all carefully cleaned, pu,
them in a pan with quart of hot water
to two dozen birds, less in proportion
to the number. Salt and pepper the
birds well inside and outside, dredge
them thickly with -four, put half
pound of good butter over them, and
set the pan in hot oven, to brown.
Fifteen minutes ought to brown them.
Then pour them all into a saucepan
and stew till they are done. II the

deep bating-pan with it, pour 10 The
birds and gravy, cover it with top
crust well stuck with fork to let the
steam escape, and bake in a quick oven
until light brown. A delicious chicken
pie can be made in the same way. 1t
is a good plan to bake two pies, with
the dark meat in one and the white in
the other.

Nntritiya ratio / 10 S.


This is well balanced milk ration
for cows Of the ordinary weight OF Jer.
seys or their grades, and it is probably
the cheapest ratisn to be constructed
from the materials. If no mangolds
were used we should make the ensilage

2. Another ration could be construct.
ed as follows. without corn meal: 40
lbs. ensilage, 8 lbs. meadow hay, 6 lbs
wheat bran, lbs N. P. linsced meal,
2 lbs. cottonseed meal. This would
cost about the same. We think either
Of these ratioDs would work we'll in
practice. The roots should be run
through pulper or crater. as in that
form it mixes with the other foods more
evenly-and one Of the benefits derived
from roots is digester for other food,
and the more evenly it is mixed the
better.
One of the best modes Of mixing
such . ration is to place the ensilage
for the heard in vat Of suitable size,
and then having mixed the ground
feed Of whatever kind together dry,
spread this evenly over the ensilage
and fork it into the whole mass. Now
spread the pulped mangolds evenly
over this and the cut hay ON top of it.
Now let this all be forked evenly to-
gether. 1t will not be injured BY lying
IL hours 10 mass. This accomplishes
a thorough mixing of the grain food
and ensllage, the ensilage having plenty
OF moisture for that purpose. Then
when the hay and roots are mixed in.
the mass will have lost its apparent
moisture and be comparatively dry. In
this case it is mot important at all that
the hay should be moisteued. The
drier food can be mingled SO as to be
oil eaten together, the better; because
the drier the food the more saliva flows

8. 1t may be interesting to examine
the approximate manurial value of the
foods composing this ration. If the
manure from the foods, liquid and solid,
is ell saved and applied, the approxi-
mate value of the fertilizer may be
considered as follows: Ensilage. 81 so
per ton hay, $3.50; mangolds, sl.3O;
corn meal, IS; wheat bran, $40 linseed
meal. SIC; cottonseed meal, $21.
1t will be seen that the richest Of
these foods will pay in fertilizing mat
ter large proportion Of their cost, and
the figures which we give are made
to suit the lower prices at which nitro
lgen, potash and phosphoric acid have
sod during the last few years. Yet it
must be remembered that to realize
fully these figures, the manure must be
preserved much better than the farmer
ordinarily does. It win not permit of
any soakage into the soil, or washings
BY rains, but the manure must be APP
piled to the soil while it contains all its
fertilizing ingredients. The liquid
droppings contain larger proportion
Of the value than the solid and to

together, they must either fall into =

at laurel Hill last Friday evening
was able and instructive. 1t was
brim full of ugly facts and burning
truths. He discussed the tariff, the
reciprocity of labor and the monetary
question with such purspicuity and
force that even those not familiar
with these subjects in tho abstract
were deeply Interested and went
away with something to think about.
We hope the Lecturer will tell the
same facts in every section Of the
