How To Clean Paint.

There is a very simple method to
clean paint that has become dirty,
and if housewives would adopt it, it
would save them a great deal of
trouble. Provide plate with some
of the best whiting to be had, and
have some clean warm water and a
piece of flannel, which dip in the
water and squeeze nearly dry; then
take as much whiting as will adhere
to it, apply it to the paint surface,
when little rubbing will instantly
remove any dirt and grease, after
which wash the part we'll with clean
water, rubbing it dry with channels.
Paint thus cleaned looks as well as
when first laid on, without any In
jury to the most delicate colors. 1t
is better than using soap. and does
not require more than half the time
and labor.

Among the Poultry.

noble thing. Wallace's Monthly.
Among the Poultry.
Never use sulphur with grease to
kill lice.
Slow-feathering fowls are usually
the hardest.
Turkeys are usually profitable if
they are kept thrifty.
Fowls to be healthy and in good
laying condition should not be over
fed.
While barley is good feed to
give occasionally, it should never be
used as regular feed.
There is no necessity of having
the nests high, one foot from the
ground is plenty high.
Even when the fowls have the
run of the farm it is best to have
regular hours for feeding.
A hen thai will leave her nest
every time any one approaches her
should never be kept for breeding.
The Pekin duck is beautiful,
hardy and rapid grower, good
layer, good setter and good moth
er.
1t will improve the quality of the
meat if in fattening the fowls the
feed is made mp with sweet skim
milk.
At present prices wheat is one of
the cheapest as well as one of the best
grains that can be fed to laying
hens.
Gravel, lime, charcoal, and crush
ed bone should be supplied where
the fowls can help themselves while
moulting.
With young chickens it will great
ly lessen the risks of loss if care is
taken to see that they 60 on the
roosts at night.
The poultry manure that is gath
cred up now should be put into old
boxes or barrels and stored in a dry
place until it is needed.
If the laying hens are allowed to
scratch over the manure pile and
to drink water in the stable yard
the eggs will be tainted.
The fowls that are selected for
breeding should never be overfed to
push the growth too fast. A steady
growth and an even development
are better.
In selecting the breeding turkeys
it is we'll to remember that turkey
hen should rarely be kept after she
IL years old, while gobbler may
be kept until he is 5 years old.
When the fowls are confined
spading up part of the run every
day is always attended with good
results, as it affords the fowls a
good opportunity to exercise and
Sunfower and hempseed promote
a smooth, glossy plumage and can
nearly always be used to advantage
in preparing fowls for exhibition
and to use while the fowls are moult-
ing.
If the fowls have the run of the
farm where they can pick up so
much that would otherwise go to
waste, poultry meat is the cheapest
and most convenient that can be
grown on the farm.

CURING MEATS.
RyhfS for Sailing Hams. Good Dried
Beef Sausage Recipe.


The homemade sausage if made
after a good rule is most excellent
dish for cold day and for those
who have good digestion. 1t suffers
more often from combination with
other food of too much the same
kind than because it is in itself ex-
tremelv indigestible. 1t is not n.y.
gienic wisdom to eat hot cakes or
mince pie with fried sausage, but
with food that is unlike itselfit has
a place in cold weather foods. In
preparing the meat it is best to use
one-third fat to two-thirds lean
meat.
Miss Corson's rule is: Use the
lean trimmings of fresh pork and
from one-half to one-quarter of their
weight in clear firm fat cut from the
back or from some part of the car
cass near the skin. Therefore to II
pounds of lean pork add three of
clear fat; chop or grind the meat un-
til very fine, removing all tough por-
tions. Season with one cup each
of salt and powdered sweet herbs
(chiefiy sage) two even teaspoonfuls
of cayenne and four of black pepper.
After the meat is thoroughly chop
ped and seasoned try little piece
by frying to see if the seasoning is
right. Sausage meat can be sailed
in bags and smoked like hams.
CURING HAMS
This is said to be the way in
which the famous Westphalia hams
are cured: They are first rubbed
with dry salt and left to drain for
twenty-four hours. Four quarts of
salt, three pounds of brown sugar
one pound ofsaltpetre, four ounces
Of sal prunella, and four ounces of
Juniper berries are bruised and well
mixed together and boiled in six
quarts of water. The brine is then
cooled and SKINNED. The hams
are taken from the salt and wiped
dry, and the cold pickle is poured
over them and rubbed into the meat
They are then smoked little every
day for three months until complete
ly dry, when they will keep sound
and improve in flavor for years.
Hams shrink in smoking about 10
percent in weight while picked or
sailed pork gains about 10 percent.
HOMEMADE DRIED BEEF.
Select nice round of beef-bet-
ter from young animal-divide it
into two pieces, following the natur-
al line of division very carefully, so
as not make any cuts or gashes for
the fly to burrow in. Then for fifty
pounds of the meat make a mixture
of two pounds of fine salt, one ounce
of powdered saltpeter, and one and
a half pounds of brown sugar. Rub
this mixture well into the meat
every morning until used up, and
at the end of two weeks hang up in
a smoke house to smoke slightly or
just enough to be tasted. Excess
of smoke is not generally relished.
1t may be left hanging in any dry
place away from the flies. If it
moulds little on the outside that
will not hurt.
