RICE CAKE-Beat two cupfuls Of
sugar with one.half cupful Of butter,
four eggs, one.half cupful of sweet
cream. Sift one and one-half cupful
Of -four, and use one good teaspoonful
of baking powder. Season with extract
of lemon or vanilla and bake quickly in
hot oven in patty pans.
VEAL STEW OR FRlcAssEE.-Tbe
ends Of the ribs, the neck and the
knuckle may be utilized in stew
Cut the meat, two pounds, in small
pieces and remove all the fHe bones.
Cover the meat with boiling water, skim
as it begins to boil, add two small
onions, two teaspoonfuls of salt and
one salt spoonful ofpepper; simmer until
thoroughly tender. Cut four potatoes
in halves, soak in cold water and par
boil them five minutes; add them to the
stew. Add one tablespoonful of flour
wet in cold water and more seasoning
if desired, and just before serving add
one tablespoonful Of butter. Remove
the homes before serving. To make a
veal pot pie add dumpling as in beef
stew. If intended for tricassee, fry
the veal in salt pork fat before stewing
and omit the potatoes. Add one egg to
the liquor just before serving if you
wish it richer.
NEW PoTAToEs.-Good boiled in
their jackets and served very hot.
Shake well SO the steam will tighten
them as it escapes; or scrape, cook in
sailed water, season with milk, butter
and pepper, not letting stand after done
In very warm weather when harvest
hands are overheated, new potatoes
relish better boiled and Drowned in
thick slices, taking care that they fry
quickly, ana are seasoned we'll.
SpINAcH.-It is a mistake to cook
spinrch, dandelion, or any other greens
with meat. Each leaf is thus covered
with film of grease, and made in
digestible. Thoroughly wash, and
plunge into boiling water, lightly sailed,
cook uncovered until tender, and the
color will be kept. Drain and either
chop or leave in length as you prefer,
place in a pan with generous lump of
butter on top and dredge Of pepper.
Heat in the oven, and eat with vinegar
if you choose.

Dressmaking at Home.

Fashionable dressmakers do not use
braid for binding the bottom Of dresses.
They say it makes the skirt hang stifay
about the feet. In place of this they
face the bottom with strip of crossbar
crinoline, and over this is sewed piece
of silk or of the dress material if not
too heavy, and over this again a ruffie
of silk pinked on the edge. A fine
knife plating Of silk is then sewed on
the edge Of the foundation. Over this
is placed the drapery.
Casing ribbon is nice finish for
seams and faciDgs, as it does away with
the clumsy seam. Dressmakers are
using it for the collar seam and along
the facing of the basque instead of
turning in the cloth. When put over
whalebones it should be iulled on in
gathers, SO as to give the bone room to
bend in.
The old. fashioned belt is no longer
used for skirts, which are now gored to
fit the figure, the cloth and lining
turned in and the edges stitched to-
gether with the finest cord covered
with silk. Or the skirt is scwed to a
narrow yoke OF the material.
It is not advisable to sew anything
but cotton cloth with cotton. Sewing
silk is not much more expensive, and
it makes prettier and much more
elastic seam. 1t is cheaper to buy a
large spool of silk, and generally the
quality is better; these come in three
shades. black, white and brown.
A linen lining is now made which is
used as substitute for silk. 1t can be
purchased in black, brown, pearl, and
neutral tints, is thirty six inches wide
and costs twenty-five cents per yard.
For some purposes is is preferable to
sill. The Household.

full wages Of the district, and all who
have been employed not less than six
months Of the year share in any profit
that has been made during the year, in
exact proportion to the amount Of
wages received. This bonus is carried
to each PERSONS credit in the farm
accounts, and bears interest at the rate
of 5 per cent per annum, to accumulate
annually until Withdrawn. The amount
credited to the work-people's account
each year is applied to pay off the loan
advanced by Mr.. Holloway, whose
charge for interest is reduced each year,
by exactly the same amount as the
work-people's interest is increased.
Any person may withdraw from the
enterprise, and receive the amount
standing to his or her credit at the last
annual stock taking, upon forfeiting
one-fourth of the amount to the gen
eral fund. Accounts are kept Of every
transaction, both buying and selling,
and the books are open to inspection by
every one working on the estate at each
quarter day. Woods and timber are
excluded from the scheme. When a
person who is not working to the
managers satisfaction is discharged,
the owner of the estate pays BIN the
amount due him, either with or without
the forfeit above mentioned, as the cir
cumstances Of the case may warrant.
The owner of the estate reserves to
himself the right to pay out in full to
all or any of the persons. the amounts
standing to their credit on the books

EnsiIage For Cattle Food.

49A6AAeb60 = Va OeSeeAO = WA
A line in the MIDLAND JOURNAL in
relation to this subject shows that our
county is much behind the times on
this question. Yet there is one silo in
the Sixth district that has been used
with success for several years and
another is in the course of construction
this week to be ready for crop of silo
corn now growing. Both these are on
the farms of Lloyd Balderston, on the
| old homestead where the creamery is
located, and the other is being built at
the adjoining barn whsre most of his
dry cattle are wintered. These can be
seen by any one that is interested in the
subject, and the whole thing better un.
derstood by personal visit than any
amount Of description. They have
proven the thing to be profitable or
they would not be trebling their storage
room Tor enSllage.
Root growing does not begio to be an
equivalent. VIM. F. Massey of N. G.
Experiment Station is OF the same
opinion and they have there thoroughly
tried both. Corn in this condition,
furnishes greater bulk and better
quality Of feed at less cost per ton than
sugar beets or mangolds. Massey would
grow the corn in preference if even
tsome ono cultivate his beets without
cost. A large crop of the latter were
grown at Cecil Manor for 7. E. Hogg
last season, showing that it can be
done but they were not used to advan-
tage and the cultivation and storage OF
them was very expensive. The exper-
iment had been tried before by others
ION less extensive scale, but always
with doubtful profit as the crop of roots
is an uncertain one in dry seasons, and
always attended with much care in
starting them.
Corn for ensilage can be put in late,
planted with drill or corn planter
with no hand labor in hoeing or weed
ing, and enough horse cultivation to
give it good start, when it will care
for itself until the ears have set and
the grain in about the condition Of
roasting ears when it should be cut
and stored. A variety of white corn
that makes large stalks and small ears
is the most desirable sort for this crop,
and the cutter reduces all to short
lengths. The large cob sorts are too
hard on the machine. The fodder corn
raised for canning makes good ensiage.

Dining Room Notes.

| =
Finger bowls are not used at teas.
Square doylies are preferred to either
round or oval ones.
Table scarfs often have color added
under the drawn work, with excellent
effect.
The doylies for the plates should be
large enough to hold the knife, fork,
and spoon.
It is no longer allowable to turn our
plates in setting a table, or to place
tooth picks thereon.
Custard glasses are no longer in
vogue. Semi-liquid desserts are served
in tea or coffee cups and saucers.
Crocheted or knit line lace is in
vogue for decorating the numerous
accessories of table linen.
A small rug under dining table is
delusion and suare, and the cause of
many an embarrassing incident.
Where highly polished table is set
without cloth, there shonld be an orna-
mental mat for each dish.
Plain white china dishes are return
ing to favor, as they are never out of
keeping with anything in the room.
If hot dishes are to be brought on
the table, thick dinner mat should be
placed under the fancy linen one.
If the table is long one, there
should be three center pieces, Of the
same size, or the middle one larger.
Lay them diagonally. with the points
touching.
Initials or monogram are sometimes
embroidered at two diagonally opposite
corners of a cloth, and far enough from
the edge to come up on the table.
A tray cloth and square, round, or
oval doylies should be used for dishes.
One and all of them may be as daintily
ornamented as one chooses.
Richly decorated china and a profu
sion of flowers are never in keeping;
but plain white, or decorated with a
gilt band, can be rendered beautiful by
the addition of fancy china and glass
dishes, or flowers.

MO sENA1oRnL REAPpoR1omMENr.

The senate of Georgia has refused
to concur in the house resolution to
appoint Joint committee to rear
rannge the senatorial districts OF the
state, The senate was emphatic in
It's oppositian to a rearrangemepti In
other words, the alliance members do
not wish the large counties OF Fulton,
Chatham, Richmond and Bibb each
. have senator,
1t is question whether there is
any real necessity tor redistricting the
state into new senatorial divisions.
The argument for it is that the ccun-
ties in which the large cities are sit
uated, owing to their population
and great interests, are entitled to a
senator each. The basis Of the sen.
atorial divisions is not population
alone, and should not be, and it j.
doubtful if the districts should nov
be recognized in the interest OF tn,
large cities. 1t is, however, an opel
question, and involves no serious is
sue. In some districts as now con
stituted, there IS aiweys a wrangl
over the senatorial questio
and the constant charge tina
some of the counties Of the distric
are never given direct reprcsentati,
in the Senate. This biennial wra
gle could be avoided by a redistri'
ng, and it would, perhaps, give t
more populous country more ecu
able representation, and at the sal
time satisfy the counties that are COZ
