Cats Around Barns.

The habit which many people have of
petting cats and keeping them close by
the kitchen fire very soon destroys the
hunting instinct and makes the cat
good for nothing as a mouser. On the
farm especially, the proper place for a
cat is at the barn, where it can make
itself useful killing the mice or rats
that destroy the grain. 1t is mistake
to suppose that cat will suffer from
cold while thus employed. Exercise
will keep the blood circulating, and the
cat will be quite as warm if kept dry
as it would be doing by the fire, and
breathing the vitiated air that is al
ways found near the foors Of dwell
ings. The cat will usually, if there is
a chair or bed in the room, make that
her resting place.

Home Made Sausages.

There is no kind of meat food so
palatable as well-made sausage But
the fact that when made it is almost
impossible to tell what meat it is COM
posed of prevents many who only eat
what they buy from using it. On the
farm the well-made, wholesome sau.
sage should be a speciality. 1t is COM
mon mistake to put in too much fat.
Not more than a quarter of the whole
should be fat If some lean and fat of
beef, not to exceed one-quarter of the
whole, is put in the sausage it will i'm
prove it. Much of the excellence Of the
sausage depends on the f1avoring. Too
much pepper and spices are found in
most sale sauSages.
