Testing the Oven.

To judge of an ovens heat, there are
no better rules than Gouffe's: ''Try the
oven every ten minutes with piece Of
white paper. If too hot, the paper
will blaze up or blacken; when the pa
per becomes dark brown Ii. e., rather
darker than ordinary meat pie CRUST,
the oven is fit for small pastry. When
light brown ii. e., the color of really
nice pastry, it is ready for vol au vent,
tarts, etc. When the paper turns dark
yellow ii. e., the color of deaD, you can
bake bread, large meat pies or large.
pound cakes; while if it is just tinged.
the oven is just fit for sponge cake

Bee Notes.

Aristotle numbered bees among civil
people.
A tempera ture of from 20 to so degrees
Fahrenheit is more favorable to keep
ing honey liquid than lower tempera-
ture.
Pliny said for the uses Of life bees
labor work, ordain q commonwealth,
have their private councils, their public
warlike actions, and have morality.
About one-half of the wild bees, ac-
cording to Prof. Braner, have drones
with stings. and some of the wild bees
are only one thirtythird Of an inch in
length.
The average weight of prime
swarm of bees is six pounds, the heav-
lest being eight pounds, and the light
est five and one-half pounds. Second
swarns average three pounds.
The time that a colony will be actu-
ally out of a laying queen, from the
date of deQueening to the laying of a
new one reared by the bees alone, will
be from about twenty to thirty days

Dried Lima Beans.

Perhaps you don't know that the
dried Lima beans when well cooked.
are very nice, and a most acceptable
vegetable for winter use. There is
quite difference in them, however.
and one sometimes finds those that
have been dried when too ripe and do.
not cook well. Therefore buy in small
quantity, best. and if satisfactory buy
more. To cook, wash them, and put
on the back of the stove in cold water; ;.
when they have swollen full, add boil
ing water to finish cooking. When
done, season with pepper, salt and.
butter. and half cup of sweet cream.

Rabbits and Trees.

The simplest and cheapest protection
is coating bark with some substance
offensive to these animals. Among
them is thick wash made of cow
manure with water, with enough wa
ter slaked lime to render the mixture
of dull, white appearance, or rather
of greenish-gray. Rabbits do not like
this kind OF condiment with their food.
4 stronger mixture is made by mix
ing gas tar, but for young trees with
tender bark, it should be cautiously or
sparingly used, or it may injure them.
The mixture is applied with any old
broom OF coarse brush. A moderate
portion of asafoetida in the mixture is
said to give it additional efficiency as
a rabbit repeller.

For some years past we have been
urging farmers when they repair their
fences each spring to ground the wires
every twenty rods or such matter,
and thus avoid the danger Of having
the lightning, when fence is struck,
making the round of the field and kill
ing any stock that may be near it. The
subject was brought up at the late
meeting of the mutual insurance COM
panieS and discussed somewhat fully,
says Wallaces Farmer, and the almost
universal experience was, that when
wires had been grounded as above Sug-
gested, there had been little or no dam
age to stock This is matter of great
Importance, as will readily be seen by
any man who examines his assessment
and discovers that large per cent. OF
the losses are those of cattle by light
ming and in open fields. We do not
claim that grounding the fence wires
will avoid the danger altogether. What
we claim is that the fence where the
wires are grounded are much safer
than the cattle in the open field, for the
reason that properly grounded fence
acts as a lightning rod to the parts OF
the field adjacent to the fence.

When finger nails are dry and break
easily, rub vaseline on them at night
and after washing the hands with soap
or ammonia.
If pie crust is desired to be brown
when baked it should be brushed over
with sweet milk just as the pie is put
into the oven for baking.
When baking apples replace the cores
with sugar and pinch of cinnamon,
put q small bit of butter on each and
sprinkle with sugar. Cover for q short
time after putting them inthe oven, and
when they get tender remove the cover
and let them brown.
The most trying time for a sick per-
son is between the hours Of 1 and in
the morning. Vitality becomes dimin-

some strong food, either soup or eggs or
milk, about midnight The nurse should
always make the meals look as tempt
ing as possible.
The following recipe for graham
mullins is known to be good: Stir two

An unusual and attractive hanging,

Smothered Chicken.

Dress the fowl and prepare as for
roasting, stuffing it if you desire. Sever
the sinews of the legs at the joints so
they will lie fiat to the fowl, put good

in a kettle, lay the fowl in and cover
with a basin that fits down close to it

Don't wash the Frying Pan.

1t is a mistake to wash a frying
pan. II any housewife doubts this, let
her try it and prove the result. The
pan should be placed over the fire, to
melt thoroughly all the fat which has
remained In it; and while this is hot
the inside of the pan should be well
rubbed with clean, soft paper until it
is quite clean. The paper must be
screwed up and used vigorously. Fry
ing-pans treated in this way will never
burn their contents until they are ac--
tually wearing out.

Two Acres Enough.

Two Acres Enough.
What many an American farmer
fails to do on 100 acres, the thrifty Hol-
lander i'll Belgium easily does on two
acres; namely, support a large family
and lay by something for a rainy day.
He does it by making the most of every
inch, by heavy manuring, allowing no
waste places His two acres is sur
rounded by ditch Of running water.
The typical two-acre Belgium farm will
contain patch of wheat or rye and an
other of barley; another fair portion
grows potatoes. A row Of cabbage
grows all around on the sloping sides of
the bitches with a row Of onions Justin

THE LAST HOPE.

They were sitting in the courtyard, my
mother and my wife. They looked the
embodiment of serene happiness. Their
large fans-the use of the fan came like
an inspiration to Philippe, my mother

rounded arm was outstretched; her fair
left hand was in the clear water Which
fell from the fountain and filled white

darted about in erratic tacks. She was
moving her fingers gently backward and
forward. startling the timid fish, and
half smiling at their terror. 1t seemed

at the uproar She was creating in the
brilliant-coated republic.
