BAKING SHEETS.

''It is strange" said an expert chef,
not long ago, "that baking sheets are
not more used in private families. They
are much more convenient than the little
cramped pans that are generally used for
biscuit and cake. A baking sheet is
properly male of sheet iron. 1t should
be made to fit into the oven, so that no
space is lost, and consists simply of
sheet of the metal without either wired
border or welded corners. The edges OF
the sheet are turned up about half an
inch to assist in removing it from the
oven. Cookies, ginger-snaps, round
cakes of every sort, biscuits and loaves
of bread are more easily and effectually
cooked in this way than in any pan.
Bakers always use these sheets for any
dough which Is not so soft as to run.
They take the place of several pans and
are much more easily washed and taken
care of than any regular pan with its
sharp corners. Such sheet fitted to an
ordinary oven will cost but seventy five
cents when made to order of the very
best quality of Russian sheet-iron. -

SHOULD HOGS HAVE sALra

Salt has often been called natures
vermifuge, and it is no doubt fact, be-
cause long experience with domestic an
imals has shown that all herbivora, when
deprived of salt, will sooner or later suf-
fer from the presence of intestinal
worms. Swine are not an exception to
the general rule, and salt is just as nee
essary for them as it is for cattle, as it
not only destroys intestinal parasites, but
aids digestion, and prevents intense
acidity of the stomach. When hogs are
fed slops from the kitchen they get con-
siderable salt, but when fed exclusively
upon grain, especially at the time of fat
tening, each animal should be given
about one ounce of salt daily, mixed with
its food OF the water given it to drink. If
farmers would pay more attention to the
chemistry of the food given to their
hogs, they might escape severe losses
from such common diseases as cholera,
catarrh and erysipclas. York Sun.

Treat TIE COWS KINDLY.

Cows are naturally of the kindest dis
position of any four legged animal upon
the farm, ana they should be treated
kindly and not abused by the mixers
and drivers: The practice of sending a
dog after them and allowing him to rush
them into the milk yard, exhausted and
excited, is practice that will cost each
year from ten to twenty five pounds OF
butter for every COW milked. Drive the
cows leisurely to and from the pasture.
If you are in hurry let the driver make
double quick time when he is going to
and from the field not ccompanied by
the COWS. The throwing of stones, sticks
or other missiles should be forbidden, aud
the operation of milking should be done
rapidly and with but little or no talking.
Should tho COW make . missosp or switch
you urplcasantly during fy-iime don't
speak 30 sharply a to startls her. In

many herds there are oft1e eone ror more
cows which only cel Id member of the
family can milk. This indicates very
plainly that some one is mild tempered,
and understands the cows disposition.
A box located at some accessible point
should contain at all times a supply of
salt. If salt is fed in heroic doses once
or twice each week, the cows will then
gorge Themselves, causing arrangement
of the digestive organs. Milk should
not be applied to the teats to reduce the
powef required in milking, for it does
not, but most certainly adds filth to the
milk obtained, and in cold weather the
wet teat will become cracked and sore.
All cows with domineering nature and
sharp horns should be dehorned. Brass
ferrules at the tips of the horns lessen the
danger but do not prevent the pushing
and bruising of other cows.-American
Agriculturist.

How Experts Look at Gems.

Diamond experts have curious way
of looking at gems, II. N Collier,
who went to Brazil and mined diamonds
there in the early days of the diamond
excitement, picks up stone, focuses
his eyes on it and if there are any flaws
or specks he generally sees them. His
description of the mad hunt for dia-
monds in Brazil when the fields were
first discovered would make interesting
reading. The careful way damon
diggers and workers are watched and
the excitement produced when big
"fnd" is made have dramatic interest
to those who have;once felt the fever of
the diamond searcher. New York Com

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Transplanting two or three times helps
in the formation of fibrous roots.
In growing berries for market the best
results are secured with rich soil.
Generally in transplanting it is best to
set the plants down to the first leaf.
By keeping different kinds of stock
the pastures will not become patchy.
To keep flock making u profit re-
quires careful selection and close culling.
Mulching newly set trees during hot,
dry weather often saves them from dying.
Allowing them to grow too thick is
one cause of failure in growing root crops.

BULBoUs FLOWERS.

Here are instructions for growing
bulbs indoors given by an English au-
thority in such matters:
Bulbs grown in the sitting or dining
room require only that damp atmos-
phcre should be kept about them, and
light is not wanted until they are pro-
crossing freely. The bulbs, when potted,
will do well in the bottom of cupboard
if set in damp moss or anything of that
kind, and small portion of the same
sprinkled over them. In glasses the
water should not be allowed to touch the
bulb, though very close to it, and rain or
soft water should be used. When lodged
in the glasses, the bulbs should be put
in some cool place where light is ex-
cluded-say q cupboard-there to re-
main five or six weeks, and when the
roots are we'll developed and the swelling
bud and spike starting freely they may
be gradually Injured TO the full light.
The water should not be changed, but
filed up occasionally, and a small lump
of charcoal kept at the bottom. From
the time the flower begins to show, the
more light and air given the batter.

MAST FED PORK.

There is good nut crop in many parts
of the country this year. In early times
when woods were more plentiful than
now, many farmers let their pigs pick up
much of their living in the woods. They
became quite fat when frost loosened the
burs of nuts. Pigs fed thus made the
sweetest and best pork. 1t needed some
corn feeding to give required firmness to
the fat. This made the pork go farther
for two reasons. 1t did not fry away so
much in the pan and it was not SO good
to eat as the sweerer nut-fed pork

USES OF SWEET OIL.

Clean bronzes with sweet oil, care
fully rubbed on, then polish with
chamois.
If troubled with creaking shoes, rub
the sides of the soles with little sweet
oil.
Sweet oil will clean Britannia metal;
rub it we'll with flannel cloth aud then
wash off in warm suds.
For sunburn, sweet oil and lime water
two parts of oil to one of lime water
will be found very efficacious.
To remove warts, apply sweet oil aud
cinnamon, which will in time cause them
to disappear.
For infammatory rheumatism, dissolve
into pint Of sweet oil one ounce of pull
verified saltpetre and thoroughly rub the
parts affected. Housekee ping.

INFLUENCE OF OATS AND BRAN ON MILK.
1t is quito we'll understood that the
quantity of food consumed influences the
yield of milk and that certain foods aud
grasses influence the color of butter.
Numerous experiments exhibit results to
prove that an increase of the same ration
will increase a cows milk yield, but not
the quality of that yield. By few it
is believed that the quality of the milk
can be changed very perceptibly by
changing rations. Others maintain that
the quality of milk depends solely, or al
most so, on the individual animal, some
giving rich milk, others poorer article.
At the Colorado Station experiments
were made with four cows, for the pur-
pose of testing the comparative effects
of wheat bran and oat chop (that is,
ground oatsl on the. fat of milk. For
the first period the ration morning, noon
and evening was two pounds of oat chop
and all the alfalfa hay they would eat
and all the water desired, but with no
other food. For the second period clear
wheat bran containing no shorts) was
substituted for the oat chop.
From a study of the tabulation it ap.
pears that the quality of the milk was
quite perceptibly influenced by the
change of food given these cows. In
each case the wheat bran produced the
best result in the production of fat in the
milk; there is also evidence extant that
bran causes a better flow of milk than
oats. While the COWS gained in weight
on the oat chop, each lost few pounds
on the bran ration. Tie difference in
either case could have been caused BY
the difference in water drank at d single
time.-New York World.

PURE HOMEMADE BAKING POWDER.

Baking powder is mixture of cream
OF tartar, bicarbonate of soda and arrow
root. The latter is put in to keep the
chemicals dry, and thus prevent the slow
union which would otherwise take place.
Sometimes tartaric acid is used instead
of cream of tartar.
The following rule may be relied upon
Tartaric acid, two ounces by weight;
bicarbonate of soda, three ounces by
weight; arrowroot, three ounces by
weight. Mix and shift thoroughly.
Keep in dry place in wide-mouthed
bottle.-New York World.
