THE HOUSEHOLD.
Hints to HOuSekeeperS.
to rOOSt

To PREVENT layer cake from sticking.
grease the tins and dust i'm little flour.
HARTsHoRN usually restores colors that
have been taken out by acids of any
kind.
SALT sprinkled on any substance that
is burning on the stove will stop the
smoke and smell.
A LITTLE turpentine mixed with the
starch will give finer gloss to shirt
bOSOmS, collars and cuffs.
Hot milk is a simple means of comfort,
and is most revivng to one who is fati-
gued by OvereXertion.
By rubbing with fannel dipped in
whiting, the brown discoloratfon may be
taken off cups which have been used for
baking.
Disinfectants are useful possessions in
all households. Even the most sanitary
plumbing may need the occasional purif-
cation of disinfectants.
II is said that to drink sweet milk
after eating onions will purify the breath
so that no odor will remain. A cupful
Of strong coffee is also recommended.
A GERMAN prescription for preventing
cold-sores and bols from coming to a
head is to paint them five or ten times
daily with equal parts of boracic acid and
water.
SPONGE carpets occasionally with hot
water in which either common salt or
| powdered alum has been dissolved. This
! not only brightens the carpet but pre-
vents moths.
LAY piece of thick Canton flannel
under your tablecloth. Even coarse
napery will look much better quality
| with sub-cover than if spread directly
over the bare table top.
RY applying little of the best car
| riage oil varnish carefully with camel's

Practical Recipes.

EGG SoUP.-Boil four eggs for twenty
minutes let them cool, open them, and
CRATE the yolks, and chop the whites
Put two tablespoonfuls of butter
and two tablespoonfuls of flour in a
saucepan, and stir over the fire until
they are thoroughly Incorporated; then
add one quart each of hot water and
milk. Season with pepper, salt and a
little nutmeg; add the whites and serve.
FISH WITH CHEESE. up together
a few mushrooms, some parsley and a
small onion, and fry them in butter: sea-
son highly with salt and pepper. Butter
baking dish and put the fried vegeta-
bles on the bottom; then put in a LAYER
of cold cooked founder or any other fish
with large fiaky meat. Sprinkle bread
crumbs on top. moisten with stock
and bake. Serve slices of lemon with
this dish.
LARDED LIVER. Lard a calfs liver
with slices of fat bacon. Prepare some
vinegar as follows: Take sufficient vim

by which to hitch it to the cultivator.
Through the end of this bore a hole and
fasten, crossways, by bolt, 2X1S inch
piece of wood as indicated so the v
trough will stay in the ditch and not bob
out. A small hole is bored in each end
of the cross stick. through which wires,
ropes or small chains are secured and
left long enough to fasten to the inside
shanks of the cultivatOr; thus holding
the trough in the ditch, and the trough
in turn keeping the shovelS out of the
ditch. Lengthen or shorten the wires,
ropes or chains used, according to size
of the corn and the amount OF dirt you
want in the ditch. We hold the shovels
in the ground their full depth and throw
dirt all over the trough, covering up as
much or as little of the corn as desired;
all weeds not extirpated by the shovels
are buried under the overthrow. BY this
method the work is not hard; in fact, it
is easier than blowing, planting, etc, by
"old style;'' and, it is much faster, for
you can go on the run if desired. Make
the trough strong but light. The second
time through we use shields and four big
shovels, for third time the same as for
regularly planted corn-Orange Judd

salt. Put the liver in this ana let IL
lie for twentY-four hours; then take from
the vinegar and roast it, with little
water in the pan. Basic often and serve
with brown gravy.
FRIED ONIONS AND POTATOES.
two large tablespoonfuls CT butter over
the fire, and when very hot add two
small sliced onions: sprinkle with salt
and put cover over them; when they
have cooked ten minutes put in six good
sized potatoes that haye been peeled and
cut into dice. Stir all together, then
add salt and pepper; cover the pan again
and let them cook until brown on the
bottom, shaking the pan occasionally,
but not mixing the potatoes and onions.
CHOCOLATE CUP CUsTARD.-T quart
of milk add the beaten yolks of five or
six eggs and two heaping tablespoonfulS
of chocolate, vanilla, sugar to taste, and
very little salt. Melt the chocolate in
a little hot milk before adding to the
other ingredients. Fill cups with this,
and set them in a pan Of water to bake;
they will need about fifteen minutes.
Serve cold.
CoCoANUT CAKEs.-One cup powdered
sugar, two cupfuls desiccated cocoanut,
two tablesL oonfuls flour, whites OF two
eggs. Mix we'll, roll into sheet, cut
into small cakes, and bake a light
brown.

when Is q Hen Too Fat?

A hen is too fat when she is appar-
emily very heavy behind, when she is
lazy and cares nothing for work, seeking
only to have the owner feed her She
cannot easily fly, soon becomes tired
from exertion when chased, does not lay,
though in good health and is very heavy
when held in the hands. We do not
state that any one OF the above causes
indicates fat hen, but to observe her in
all of them. Of course, the surest
method is to lift her and the weight will
be there. Examination of the rear of
the body will also show the fat under the
skin by it's color.
AS to what should be the character
and quantity of the food required to keep
them in a healthy condition, cannot be
correctly stated, as no two hens are
alike. Leghorns and Brahmas Tor other
large breeds) should not be kept to-
gether. If hens are in good condition,
the best food is chopped clover hay
Chopped half an inch in length and
scalded), all they will eat in the morn
ing, a tablespoonful of ground meat
mixed with mashed potatoes; and scatter
wheat for them to pick up before going

About Stock.

Do NOT force the cows to stand in filth
or to lie in it. Keep the stable clean.
THE horse needs succulent food as well
as the COW. 4 few roots do the horses
great good.
THE man who breaks his colts and the
politicians as they ought to be broken, is
in the right way.
The time has come when there is
scarcely an excuse for using scrub sires.
Male animals of all kinds can be pur-
chased cheap.
Do NOT use a scrub stallion, if You can
help it, and remember that every horse
that is represented as thoroughbred is
not one by long shot.
WHEN the weather is pleasant, the
horse is better outside than inside the
stable. Let him out to get the benefit of
the sunshine, the pure air and exercise.
A CORRESPONDENT asks us why GER
tain brand of bacon is always quoted
higher than other kinds. The answer to
all such questions, as rule, is because
it is better article.
A MAN was pretty nearly kicked to
death the other day by vicious horse.
He had bought the horse for $50 know
ing it was vicious. Now the account
stands about thus: Horse, S25; doctors

Feeding for Eggs.

There is much to learn in feeding
fowls for egg production in the season
when eggs are in demand, for then and
only then does the profit justify the ex-
ira attention necessary to accomplish
this. A good hen should average 12o

eggs per wear. Some will admit have
laid from $50 to ITO, but am only cal
culating the average, so as not to scare
the inexperienced poultry man, it being
nearer the average production. Did you
ever stop to consider that 100 eggs repre-
sent an aggregate wsght of lob of nu-
triment in it's most condensed form, and
and $50 eggs an aggregate of 20 10? One
tenth of this, or perhaps trtie more, is
fat. A surplus of material as we'll as
energy in the secretve organs is necess-
airy, so it is a fact that the mere feeding
of extra foods will not be sufficient.
1t should be borne in mind that vital
lied productive eggs are one thing and
those used for food another. If it were
possible to control the production of the
hens, the policy to pursue would cause
the breeding stock to produce but one or
two chickens. They would be more apt
to be fertile and the chicks constitutions
ally more healthy and vigorous. Usu-
ally fowl starts laying at s or 10
months old. She does not lay as con-
stantly and as we'll at first as she will
the second year, but she will demand
more food for development the first sea-
son and during the period OF melting, say
from August until November, she will
not lay at all. If the winter is excess
sivelv cold, unless very warm and COM
Portable quarters are provided as we'll as
good food, she will seldom favor you
with an egg.
In feeding TO Eggs we must use proper
Judgment and not gravitate to either eX-
tremes We all know or should know
that hen overfed will not lay well.
The fat accnmulatcs about the Ovaries,
which means loss of action in the egg
organs. Feed well, avoiding such foods
as produce fat. Corn is one food of this
kind, and sometimes warm cooked food
without exercise means the building up
of a fatty element foreign to the makeup
of good layer. Do not understand
that | mean that corn should never be
fed, nor warm feed, but only sparingly.
Wheat and bran are reproducing
foods when used in moderation. Rice is
also good, as is meat chopped up finely.
It matters but little whether the meat
contains much fat or not. Ground bone
and milk in the morning and evening are
excellent for old fowls that lay. Egg
shells broken up fine can be fed to them
and also lime in the form of old mortar.
An excellent mixture for shell material
for general digestive properties is made
up of 10 parts of ground new oyster
shells, ? of cayenne pepper and l or
powdered sulphur Place two full table
spOonsful in soft feed three times week,
