 Baked Haddock: Cut your fish into slices one-half an inch thick; put into baking-pan and sprinkle lightly with sweet herbs or turkey dressing; put piece of butter the size of hazelnut on each piece and bake twenty min utes.

 False Potatoes: This is an emer- gency dish. Let us suppose that an unexpected guest has arrived, or that for some reason or other the allowance of cold-boiled potatoes intended to fry for breakfast is insufficient; then take two-thirds sliced potatoes and one third broken bits of bread, or, if neces- sary, half bread; pour over this one or two well-beaten eggs; stir until the egg all adheres to the bread and pota- toes and fry in butter.-Farm, Field and Preside.
 -Maearoni and Fish: Lay any boiled fish, except salmon, on a bed of maca- roni boiled m milk until done, but it must not be allowed to break and burst; cover with a sauce made by heating pint of milk with two ounces of butter. Thicken this with four wet wi tn water to the consistency of cream; when it reaches the boiling point add the beaten yolk of an egg and one gill of tomato sauce previously made hot. Stir all the time while adding ican Agriculturist
