WATER FOR sCALD1NG HOGS.

The exact temperature for looseninS
tho hair from the skin of pig is 100
degrees. The pig should remain q
full minute in the water at this tenn
perature to give time for the hair to
be loosened, but the water may be
boiling hot if the barrel of scald-
ing vat is cold when it is poured
III it, as it will cool the water down to
the right heat. The carcass being
cooler than the water, should be kept
moving about while it IS in the water,
not to air it, but to bring the skin
into contact with fresh water not
cooled by contact with the carcass.
Where there are as many as twenty
hogs to be dressed, it will pay to have
vat large enough to take III the
whole carcass, and turn it; the car
cass may then be rolled out onto the
table by two ropes under it in the vat.

TOMATO COOKERY.

The best way to eat tomatoes is to
arm ones self with the salt cruet, go
forth to the tomato patch, pluck
sound, ripe tomatoes, salt them and
eat them on the spot. But it is not
vouchsafed to do all this. Those to
whom stern fate denies them tho to-
mato patch must try to content them
selves with tomatoes sliced, tomato
salad, broiled, baked, escalloped,
boiled and stewed tomatoes, to say
nothing of tomato jelly.
Tomato Jelly is the cooks last, best
gift to man. The tomatoes should be
scalded, skinned, strained and seas
oned with pepper and salt. AS much
gelatine, properly soaked and pre-
pared, should be added to the strained
tomatoes as would be to coffee or any
other substance of which it was pro-
posed to make jelly. The mixture
should be poured into ring moulds
and placed on ice. When quite hard
the centers should be filled with hard
boiled eggs, chopped with olives and
mixed with mayonnaise.
Broiled tomatoes are good. Select
large, uru ONES dutt CuU SAASO AAOlA
the stem end of each and take out the
hard core from the center. Place
them close together on the broiler,
with the cut side up. Sprinkle with
pepper and salt; place over the Goals
and let them cook until they are thor
oughly done, which will be in about
twenty minutes. When they are cooked
they should be removed from the
broiler without pricking or breaking.
Baked tomatoes are prepared in the
same way, and are placed, cut side up
permost, in a baking pan and cooked
in a steady oven for half hour. Es-
calloped tomatoes have the centers
scooped out, mixed with bread crumbs,
pepper, salt, little parsley and lit
tie butter. This mixture is put into
the hollows and the tomatoes are
baked. Now York World.

Food by Chemistry.

Philadelphia has a chemist who be.
lieves that meats of all sorts ana flaw

laboratories of tho chemist. Says he:
Within this century l expect to see
synthetic steaks, roasts and chops en-
tered upon the bills of fare Mt our
leading hotels and restaurants, aud
they will be prepared So nrtistically ns
to appeal to the sense of beauty as
we'll as to tho appetite. At first, of
course, In order to appoaso the natu-
raj prejudiccs against anything SO
novel, a choice will be afforded be-
tween the real and artificial; but
eventually the killing of animals for
food will DO regarded III nll civilized
countries rs barbarous. That this is
not an absurd prediction is woll as-
sured to those who have observed what
synthetic chemistry has already dono
in exactly reproducing mustard, sugar,
butter, ice, lemon juice and favoriny
essences, besides madden, turpontino
and many other compounds used OK
tensively in commerce."

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
ONIONS GOOD For NERVES.

Onions are q kind of all around
good medicine, and every housewife
knows this without exactly knowing
the reason why. She knows that a
whole onion eaten at bedtime viii by
the next morning break the severest
cold. She also knows that onions
make a good plaster to remove intiam-
nation and hoarseness. II any one
would take an onion and mash 1t SO
as to secure all the juice in 1t, he
would have most remarkable smelling
substance that would quiet the most
nervous person in no time. The
strength of it inhaled for few mo-
ments will dull the sense of smell and
weaken the nerves until sleep Is pro-
duced from sheer exhaustion. 1t all
comes from one property possessed by
the onion, and that is form of opium.

AS tho country grows older the
Outlying of hillsides by heavy rains
increases, and it soon becomes a ne
cessity to keep them in sod most of
the time, only reseeding when the
grass grows thin. The reasons why
hillsides gully worse now than form
erly is the lack of undertaking to
replace that which decaying roots of
trees made in soil when the country
was new. 1t is news to many that
hillsides need understanding. They
are often very springy, and if deep
underdrains are sunk these hillside
springs will furnish supply of pure
water all the year round. -Boston
