HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.



China may be mended as firmly "a
rock by the following recipe: Two
persons will be needed for the work,
however, for tie manipulation must be
rapid. The necessary materials are q
little unslacked line, pulverized; the
slightly beaten white Of egg, and q small
hair brush SUCH as is used for muciIage.
Put the white of egg on the broken
edges Of both pieces to be joined, and
Immediately dust one edge with the
powdered lime; put the two edges accu.
rately aud firmly together, hold in place
for minute or two and then lay aside
to dry.
To keep your silver bright without
constant cleaning, which is injurious to
the plated articles, dissolve a small
handful of borax in a dishpan OF hot
water with little soap, put the silver
in aud let it stand all the morning (or
afternoon, as the case may Beg, then pour
off the suds, rinse with clear, cold water
and wipe with a soft cloth.
Use flannel to wash the children with
in winter and they will be good-natured
while bathing.
Put a sound, ripe apple in the tin box
with your fruit cake, and the latter will
keep without becoming crumbly or dry.

THE BEST FEED FOR HORSES.

Oats IS the best grain to feed horses
in good health. BtrIey Is next best.
For a steady diet, corn is not wholesome
and, if fed alone for any length of time,
IS certain to produce Ill effects from in
digestion. Oats have about the right
proportions OF nutritious aud coarse
matter to be heaIthfui, while corn has a
very large per cent. of strong food. Old
or enfeebled horses, should DE fed
ground food, a good mixture being four
bushels Of oats to one o. cora. Twelve
quarts per day of this ground mixture
will prove good feed for any horse
while blowing or doing other heavy
farm work. Whole corn should be
soaked in warm water for six hours be-
fore feeding. Once a week give horses
a feed OF wheat bran. An occasional
feed of potatoes, apples or roots will
prove beneficial, and the animals will
relish the change Of diet.--American

GROWING POTATOES FROM SEED.

All farmers know that the new vari-
cites of potatoes are generally more
vigorous and productive the first few
years after they are originated. Then,
as the original vigor is wasted away, the
yield lessons until the variety is discarded
for some new candidate for popular
favor. Hence, although the price Of
these novelties is usually above that
which equally good potatoes for eating
will bring III the market, it pays for
farmers to give them trial. An old
farmer remarked lately that the best hit
agricuturalIy he ever made for small
sum was when he bought the Early Rose
potato seed at, we think, a dollar per
pound. The new variety proved so
much more productive than any other
potato then Known that he sold seed at
high prices for several years, and when
no longer worth more than other potatoes
for seed he made money by growing it
for the general market. The Early Rose
has lost It's vigor now; but it has been
the parent OF more first class potatoes
than any other variety. Some Of these
are now, we believe, better than the
Early Rose was in its best days. 1t is
not likely that so much money can now
be made out of any new variety as was
made from Early Rose, but it Will be
worth while 10 give those that appear
most promising Il fair trial. -Amer.can

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Unless especially desired for breeders
hens that do not lay regularly should be
marketed as soon as possible.
Broken mortar or crockery, oyster
shells and bones are excellent to prevent
the hens from eating their eggs.
There are very few focks that do not
need dipping after shearing, aud the
lew" would be the better for it.
Don't leave dead sheep for hogs,
dogs and birds to eat; burn aud bury
tbc, To burn them use coal oil.
You have a neighbor VINO says s'sheep
raising don't pay" go over aud see if
you think sheep management ought to
pay.

NCTRATORS.

E The common price of an incubator is
about $40 for the smallest size, up to
$500 or more for the largest ones. One
hundred eggs is the usual capacity of
small one. The best incubator for an
inexpert rearer of poultry, and the
cheapest, is a quiet, well-behaved hen,
provided with a suitable place, aud a
nest where she will not be troubled by
other wls.-New York Times.

PALATABLE POTATOES.

Fried potatoes are a staple Of family
tables, but how many houSekeepers
serve them nlceiyE American fried po-
tatoes are boiled first aud sliced cold to
fry. They need large frying pan, Or
are best cooked on griddle which has
surface enough to let each piece lie next
to the fire. Tie careless COOK throws
in potatoes enough to fill the pan, let
ting some scorch and others get sodde1.
Slice them a quarter OF an inch thick, so
as noe to break in turning. Salt and
pepper, and when the large spoonful Of
fat is turning brown in the hot pan lay
them in, brown quickly and turn with
broad griddIe cake turner. Potatoes Of
secondary quality are best pared and
sliced raw and fred. The heat Of boil
ing fat, which is stronger than that Of
boiling water, drives the water out of
them. Small, deep kettles are sold for
frying, and the lard is kept in them and
used many times over.
The Secret Of ps"-Tne secret of
frying Saratoga potatoes or "chip5,' as
they are called, is to have them cold,
crisp and dry before putting them in the
boiling fat. They are sliced as thin as
possible, soaked in Ice water an hour or
more, and each slice dried on a towel,
fried in very hot fat and drained on
sieve a moment in a very hot oven or
over the stove, thea cooled in a draft
quickly. They are hardly worth the
trouble.
Tne Virginia Way-They taste better
to be sliced thicker, soaked III cold
water, drained and fried in a covered
pan with two or three spoonfuls of suet,
turning brown before they ace put IN,
salt and pepper tnickly while cccking at
leisure. This is a Virginia fashion of
cooking potatoes.
Hoosier Potatoes-For dinner they are
pared and boiled till nearly done, then
put in the kettle with nice boiling waite
turnips to finish. As much turn ip as
potato is the rule, and the turnip5 must
be put to cook nall an hour earlier to be
done at the same time. When done,
drain; let the kettle stand uncovered
over the tire a moment 20 drive out the
steam from the vegetables, and mash
them together, mixing we'll with Two
spoonfuls Of butter, salt to taste and
serve in we'll smoothed mound ia hot
dish with pepper Oh the top. Tnis Is
nice way OF serving turnips, without the
strong favor most persons dislike, and
potatoes of ordinary quality are better
used in this fashion.
Kentucky Potatoes Slice the pota-
toes as, for frying, and soak in cold
water for half az hour. Parboil in
frying pan, pour the water off, and let
them stand on the fire uncovered till the
steam is driven off; brown a spoonful! of
butter or fat ana pour over them min
ute after, then cover the potatoes with
milk, in which they should boil till
done. Salt and pepper while cooking,
and watch lest they burn. There should
be just milk enough when done for
creamy gravy, thickened by the starch
of the potatoes.-St. Louis Republic.

\ WOMAN'S BRAVERY.
She ReScueS Her Husband from the
Vengeance OF Il Puma.

| Tombstone, Arizona, Dee. 2O-Jabez
f; English, L sheep he;rder of this neigh
borhood, had Il singular adventure Il
day. or two ago with Il mountain lion,
the skin of which now decorates his
cabin i'll the valley east OF here. Eng
llSh was engaged in building his cabin
home, his former one having been
destroyed by fire Il week OF two ago,
and was busily at work on its roof
when he saw an animal steal out OF
the woods hard by and fling itself
upon the pail containing the dinner
OF cold boiled bacon and bread.
he recognized this animal for a
puma, or mountain lion, but thinking
he might brighten it away, threw his
plane at it. The tool struck the ami
mai on the head, cutting it badly, and
rendering the creature furious 1t
rushed at the structure on the peak of
which the herder sat and tried TO leap
up 10 him. But this was not to be
done, and, after several attempts, the
lion abandoned it and proceeded to
patrol the spot, growing furiously, and
showing its teeth.
The man, having no weapon and
being out OF reach Of anyone to whom
he might call, could only sit still and
wait for the puma to become tired OF
the watch, or for deliyerance. Night
at last came on, and still he did not
dare venture to quit his perch, though
it was SO cold that he feared he would
freeze before morning. In the mean.
time his wife, who was i'll Santa Anna,
Il little mountain hamlet of the valley,
grew uneasy about him, and with Il
lantern started to look for him. 1t
was too dark for English to see her,
but the lion did, and made for her
with Il scream OF rage.
AS the great BEAST came leaping ut
her out Of the darkness, she dashed
the lantern full in its face. The puma
startled, gave way, and English guess
ing who the newcomer was, shouted
to her to run back to the village She
turned to DO 50, but the puma was
after her, and she was obliged to
wheel about every few feet and shake
the lantern in its face again. The ami
NAL would recoil at this, and each
time gave Il few moments in which TO
run on.
In this way she made her way to
Santa Anna, screaming aS she neared
it, a lion, Il lion!' until some of the
men Of the village hearing her, armed
themselves and came out in time to
see the lion break away to run back
They pursued him and killed him and
then went on for the half-froZen herd
er. His wife, Il bright-eyed, chaty
little Mexican woman, claimed the
skin of the puma, saying that it was
rightly hers, as she alone had brought
the lion into the village, and it was
presented to her for the new home
in the valley.
