As young pigs at birth are easily
chilled to death, the lower story Of the
house should be double boarded, with
building paper between. This will
cost but little. and one litter of pigs
saved will more than pay the extra

an apartment $ feet square. If one
wants a house large enough for from
80 to 40 or more hogs. two of these
houses can be made. each 81 feet long

and roof over the space between. This
will enable you to finish off one more

one ~teaspoonful soda. Boil three hours.
Country Gentleman.
Eggs With Cream: Hard boiled
eggs are to be shelled and cut in
halves, the latter arranged, cut side
downward, upon a buttered dish or
platter. A rich cream sauce properly
favored is then to be turned over or
around the eggs, which should be
served Immediately. Finely-chopped
chicken, turkey or ham may be mixed
with the sauce if relished.-Farmer's
Review.
Washing Black and White Goods:
The chief point to remember in wash
ing black and white. or any delicate
coIora, Is to put a little salt in the wa
ter, and not on any to let the
articles lie about damp. Begin by
making a lather of white soar in luke
warm water, wash the dress out quick
ly, and then rinse in clean cold water
and dry at once. Take care not to put
1t with other wet things, and never on
n account rub the soap on.-Leed's
Mercury.
Apple Pies: Now that the few re-
naming apples are getting dry and
tasteIess, we put into each pie a table
spoonful of tamarind jelly which we
prepared to eat with meats by stewipp
the tamarinds in a little water, strain
ing, adding an equal bulk of sugar and
boiling until quite thick. The pies re-
qulre a little more sugar, but their
flavor Is very much improved. If YOU
have no jelly stew the apples and flavor
with lemon juice and nutmeg.-Orappe
Judd Farmer.
Talked Parsnips: Wash, scrape. and
divide: drop into boiling water a little
more than sutfici ent to cook them. and
boil gently till thoroughly tender.
There should remain about one-half
pint of the liquor when the parsnips
are done. Arrange on an earthen plate

one layer deep; cover with the Juice.
and bake, basting frequently until the
juice is all absorbed, and the parsnips
