Loss In Feeding.

This applies both to animals and
plants. Too frequently sufficient
food is not given to make the results
proftable-thus entailing the loss OF
what is given-or the proper kind OF
food is not fed to secure the end
sought. The food required to secure
good yields of butter differ from that
necessary to get the best results IN
eggs. The kind of fertilizer that is
best for wheat is somewhat unlike
that which will give the best returns
in potatoes. The farmer must know
something of the composition, chem
ically speaking, of the product that he
desires, whether it be butter, flesh
or the various kinds of garden and
field crops, then make his feed or
fertilizer to correspond. This is SIM
ply another way of saying that he
should farm intelligently.

For the Housekeeper.

the way you prefer-with buttermilk
and soda. cream-tartar and soda, or
baking powder, or without any of
these, which is decidedly best, if thor
oughly beaten, and add one large
cupful mashed potatoes (sweet or
Irish), season with butter, to each
quart of -four. Mix well in the -four
before putting in other ingredients,
roll and cut, bake in a quick oven,
and be sure to eat hot. Split with
fork, and spread with sweet butter,
as you eat the m, and they will al
most melt in your mouth, if properly
made.
Beef Stew-Cut UNDERGONE roast
beef or steak into inch-long pieces.
Have ready in saucepan a cupful
of skinned gravy or broth, a quar-
ter of an onion minced very fine, a
teaspoonful of minced parsley, a pinch
of mace, and tablespoonful of chop
ped cucumber pickle. Let it come
to boil, season well, and thicken
with a tablespoonful ofbrowned flour;
put in the meat, and set in boiling
water, closely covered, at the side of
the range, for twenty minutes. If
the meat be tough, chop instead of
cutting it up, then proceed as di-
rected. Serve hot.
Paris Pudding-Slice half pound
of stale sponge cake, and spread with
currant or grape jelly. Line the
bottom and sides of a deep dish with
some of the slices, place the rest in
the center of the dish with spaces be-
tween. Make quart ofrich custard,
favor with vanilla, froth, and add.
Pour the custard in the dish, heap
meringue over the top, and set in the
oven one minute to brown.
Pudding from prepared coacoanut,
or from the fresh meat of the nut,
grated at home, is delicious. Take
one cupful of milk, one-quarter of a
pound of grated cocoanut, three ia
blespoonfuls of bread crumbs, three
tablespoonful of powdered sugar.
two tablespoonful of melted butter,
one cupful of stoned raisins, the
grated peel of one lemon, well-beaten
whites of two eggs. Beat all until
mixed, butter a cold puddingdish and
pour the mixture in, bake slowly one
hour, then turn out on a fiat dish
and shake pulverized sugar over 1t.
Serve hot or cold with cream, GUS
tard or fruit.
Almond taffy is the latest Sweet
Boil together half a pint of water
and a pound of brown sugar for 10
minutes. Blanch and slice through
the middle II OF of almonds. Stir
them in the syrup with 2 OF ofbutter.
Let it boil hard for 10 minutes.
Pour on well buttered dish to the
thickness of half an inch.
All that is necessary when a boot
is new and has turned blue or in any
way lost its polish is to black the dis
colored parts with common black ink,
let it dry and rub off all the superfu-
Gus ink with a soft piece of cloth or
rag, then take the white of an egg
and beat it up till it is quite thin,
but not frothy. This can be put on
all over with the finger; but like all
dressings should be used very spar
ingly, not that it will hurt the leath-
er, only that by putting it on thin,
as it is transparent, the grain of the
leather, which is its beauty, is left
visible.

The topic of kissing the Bible upon
the taking of an oath was the subject
of a discussion by the Cogbum club
the other evening. Nobody seemed to
know Just why the discussion was start
ed, but several members who have not
been heard from lately had pronounced
views upon the subject
One of the members declared that
the kissing habit was a relic Of an Idol
atrous age, when men kissed the
mouths of idols to such an extent that
they wore them away, and it wa be
Ieved that he who kissed the mouth Of
an idol and then told a lie would mn
mediately die. Said he: The practice
of kissing the Bible in courts of justice
Is more than ten centuries old. In
every court or upon the table of every
justice you viii find a soiled book, upon
which you are sworn-a book not soiled
by reverent hands in turning is pages,
but made unclean and unhealthy by
the constant handling of unelean wit
nesses and the contact OF impure lips
and mouths "-Utoa Observer.

that is. the man on the right hand of
the woman and the woman on the left
hand Of the man, as it is worded in the
Salisbury Manual. The reason given
is a very fanciful one-viz., because the
rib out Of which the woman was
formed was taken out of the left side
Of Adam. Another reason IS that the
place at the right hand is the most
honorable; it is therefore, both by the
Latin and Greek, and all Christian
churches, assigned to the man as being
head of the wife.
The Jews act otherwise, placing the
woman or the right hand 6 her hus-
band. in allusion { that expression in
the forty-ffth Psalm, "At thy right
hand did stand the queen in gold Of
Ophir." Another reason given is that
this position is the most convenient
