RECIPES.

RECIPES.
Potato Dice-An excellent way of
using cold boiled potatoes is to chop
them moderately fine and fry in pork
fat which IS boiling ot-this is the
secret of success -before the potatoes
are put in. Season with pepper and
salt.
Nodded Wheat Granules-Put one
pint of cold water in saucepan add
one teaspoonful salt, and then stir in
slowly six tablespoonfuls of wheat
granules. Stop stirring and cook
slowly twenty mintes. An asbestos
pad is an excellent thing to prevent
cereals from burning. Turn into tiny
molds and stand in Ice box over night.
Cold cereals for summer breakfasts are
much more appetizing than hot ones.
Stewed Beets Parboil, pare and cut
the beets in slices, then put into a
saucepan with half the quantity of
small onions par-boiled, tiny shred of
red pepper pod, two or three slices of
okra, shred of basil and parsley,
ditto of celery, salt to taste, lump
of sugar and piece of butter. Cook
in rich cream or white stock, and Just
before serving stir in a teaspoonful
of lemon juice. Thisis delicious way
of cooking beets.
Kidney Saute-Split the kidney in
halves lengthwise and trim off as care
fully as possible every sinew and all
the fat from the inside. Cut it into
small pieces. Put two tablespoonfuls
of butter into a frying pan. When
melted add one small onion cut into
slices and the kidney; stir with a
wooden spoon over a brisk fire for
about three minutes; then add one
tablespoonful of flour; stir again :;
then add two gills of stock or water
Salt and pepper to taste. Stir again
about two minutes, and serve imme-

GOOD KITCHEN CUTLERY.

Nothing is more essential IN good
kitchen work than good cutlery. The
cook must be provided with a good
breadknife, with a thin, broad blade
and keen edge, if she would cut her
bread as it should be cut-into thin,
dainty slices There must also be a
good, sharp meat knife. It is not pos
sible to use the same knife for both
purposes and keep it long i'll good
condition. In addition, there must
also be little vegetable knife and a
little boning knife, with a thin, sharp
pointed blade.
These knives should be kept bright
and clean, and exclusively for their
own respective purposes. They should
not be allowed near the fire, for heat
ruins the temper of the steel, and
when the temper is once destroyed, it
cannot be restored. There should al
WAYS be two or three common iron
knives about the kitchen for the pur-
pose of scraping pots and pans and for
stirring anything cooking upon the
stove. One of the best knives for
scrapers has short, strong blade,
broad and sharp at the lip ike a put
tyknife. Knives that are III use in the
kitchen should be systematically
sharpened.
In the city, where knife grinder is
always convenient, it pays to send the
knives to him about once in three
months, as it costs but little to have
them thus properly ground. In the
country, where knife grinder is not
always accessible, cook should learn
the use of the milestone, as Il carpen-
ter OF other mechanic does, and keep
her knives in order herself. Knives
which are not In use should be rubbed
in little sweet oil, wrapped in chamois
skin and laid away. Knives in daily
use should be washed and dried thor
oughly. On no account should the
handles be allowed to soak in water,
nor should the knives be allowed to
dry in the oven, nor i'll any place
around the range, for by such treat
ment their temper will be destroyed
and their handles loosened.
The best place to keep knives which
are in hourly requisitiOn in the kit
chen is in knife rack hung on the
wall. New York Tribune.

rn Prevent Trees Leaning.

Those wno have trees which have been set one or two seasons will do well to bear in mind the importance of stalking them so that they will re- sist the influence of the most frequent ly prevailing or heaviest winds. Those which have been set two years need 1t as much as those which were put out last spring, as they are likely to pre- sent as much surface to the wind aS they have roots iu the earth. Put down'a stout stake few feet from tho trunk, and then put on a strip of cloth, binding the tree to the stake iu the form of figure 8, so that the cros- sing of the band will prevent any chating of the tree trunk against the stake.

ness of education Here IS point wherein so many of our breeders, large and small. fail. The man who breeds extensively must leave the matter of education in the hands of hi employ ees, but it is to the large class of the small breeders that speak and urge 1pon them more thorough methods. Do not produce an inferior colt, if possible to avoid it. Have done with cheapstallions or those having defects that, if transmitted, are fatal to the highest success. If you have not sui fcient interest or information to know just the ideal points you wish to produce. do not breed at all. There will be misses enough when every precautiOn has been taken.
 Again. when man has produced a
 really high-class colt, he feels more interest in tue development, and one will always find the most promising
 youngsters getting the most attention.
 What greater pleasure to breeder
 than to watch the high-bred colt ma
 ture, and when the proper age +
 reached to begin the education ano
 watch the advancement of the pupi day by day? Speaking from experience
 I know my greatest pleasure IS iount
