GREEN SWEETMEATS. —Take watermel
on rinds and acaid in slum-water four
hours; coyer closely with grape or cab
bage leaves; should they bw dear and
tender then, take them ont and throw
into cold water; if not, let them boil
longer; change tins water morning and
night until ail taste of the alum is ex
tracted; then make a thin syrup of two
pouuds of sugar to oue of iruit; boil it
a little and pour it hot oyer the rinds,
and let them stand three days; then
boil the sweetmeats until they are trans
parent and the syrup is qufte thick; iu
the meantime have some white ginger
soaked until it is soft enough to be
scraped aud sliced thin; boil it first in
cold water, then in the syrup, together
with lemon peel aud maoe to your taste;
tie the ginger in a muslin bag to prevent
its coloring the syrup; it is well to put
in the grape leayes m layers during the
process of scalding, then a layer of
rind; keep kettle closely covered; do
not use the juice of the lemons.
To CLARIFY fciuoAß, —Take the finest
kind, break it into large lumps and put
it into a preserving-pan. If for syrup,
add a pint of cold water to each pound ;
if for candying, a couple of wineglass fula
to the pound will be snfiicient. Beat
the white of an egg, add it to the wa
ter, mix it well, ana pour it over the
sugar; oue egg is enough for twelve
pounds of sugar, if it is fine, or two if it
is coarse. When the sugar is nearly
melted stir it well and put it over a
gentle fire; do not stir it after the scum
oegias to rise; let it boil five minutes,
then take it off the fire, let it stand a
minute or two, then take the scum oare
fuliy off; put the pan again on the fire,
and wheuu the syrup begins to boil throw
in a little cold water, which should be
kept back for the purpose; boil till the
scum rises, draw it oil the fire, and skim
it as before; repeat this till quite clear;
it is then fit for use. It is by long boil
ing that the different degrees are
acquired which the confectioner requires.
FOTATOKS SEVER WATS. —Suuday,
peel, B team, mash, add milk, batter and
salt, and then beat like oake batter, the
longer the better, till they are nioe and
light; keep hot. The steaming and
beating will be found a great improve
ment. Monday, baked potatoes in their
jackets, Tuesday, peel and bake with
roast beef. Wednesday, fried raw pota
toes. Thursday, peel, steam and serve
whole. Friday, "potatoes ala pancake,"
peel, eut in tliin slices lengthwise, sprin
kle with pepper and salt, and fry in but
ter, turning like griddle cakes. Satur
day, potatoes boiled in their jackets.
And 60 on through as many days more
in as many different ways, ad libitum.
WORK-BASKETS can be ornamented in
many pretty ways. Choose an open
work basket of some fanciful design; in
ihe bottom paste with mucilage a lining
of silk, or velvet, cr satin, on which is
painted or embroidered a spray of flow
t rs. Around the edgo of this lining in
the bottom of the basket put a row of
plaited ribbon, and another at the top
also. It is not necessary to line the
sides, though this is a matter of choice.
These baskets make pretty gifts.
BLOTTERS that are useful and are sug
gestive of pleasant thoughts are made
ot pieces of blotting-paper, the width of
a good-sized envelope and twice the
length. Cut several of these say three
or four—tie them together at one end
with a bow cf narrow ribbon; on the
outside paint a pretty little outline pic
ture, If you cannot find one picture
that is suitable for this on account of
its length, put a dividing line of black
through the centre of the cover, and put
a e.mnl picture on each side of it.
AN elegant screen is made by using
an eLcny lrame which forms one square
space. Fili this with dark olive satin;
on this, in oil colors, outline a hill and
a tree. Use as dark shades as you can,
and make them effective; brighten with
yellow light, using Naples yellow. A
dtaign for the suggested landscape can
be found in some book of wood cuts,
and with a bttle work can be made very
brilliant. Squeeze the paint from the
tubes on blotting-paper, which will ab
sorb the oil, and so prevent its spread
ing.
CARROT SALAD.— Select very tender
French carrots and cook them in fact
boiling water till tender; cut into very
thin slices, pnt them into a glass salad
bowl and sprinkle with sifted loaf sugar;
add the juice of a large, fresh lemon and
a vineglassful of olive oik Byway of
garnish, place round the margin of "the
dish an onion cut in exceedingly thin
slices and small bunches of any fresh,
green saiad leaves.
WASHING WOOLEN SHAWLS, BUGS, ETC.
—Put half an ox-gall into two gallons
of water, warm but not hot; wash the
shawl in it with Boap and water. Have
another tnb ready with tepid water and
the other half of the ox-gall; rinse the
shawl in it well, shake it out, open it
v ide and let it hang to dry in a hot
ijom, but not in the sun. Carpet rugs
washed thus look as fresh as new,
Mjon red with a soft brush.
ELDERBERRY WlNE. —Take four quarts
of berries and boil ten minutes in three
quarts of water; stir during the time;
hen strain off the liquor and add four
pounds of sugar, after which boil ten
minutes. Place in a jar, and when suf
ficiently cool place two slioes of toasted
bread spread with yeast on the liquor.
Tfiis should be left standing in a warm
plaoe until it is done fermenting, after
which bottle it, and it is fit for use.
TOMATO SALAD. —Take the skin, juice
ard seeds frora nice, fresh tomatoes,
chop what, remains with celery, and add
a diessing made of two hard-boiled eggs,
rubbed tine and smooth, one saltspoon
of English mustard, the yolk of one raw
egg beaten Into the other. Add very
best salad oil, poured in by very small
quantities, and beaten as long as the
mixture continues to thicken, then add
vinegar till as thin as desired. If not
hot enough with mustard, add a little
cayenne pepper.
SUCCOTASH. —Take a pint of shelled
Lima beans (green), wash, cover with
hot water, let stand five minutes, pour
off, place over fire in hot water, and
boil fifteen minutes, have ready corn
from Bix good-sixed ears, and add to
beans; boil half an hour, add salt, pep
per and two tablespoonfuls of butter.
Be careful in cutting down corn not to
cut too deep; better not cut deep enough
and then scrape; after corn is added
watch carefully to keep from scorching.
MEAT tfiat has gathered moisture in
the refrigerator should be dried in the
oven before being sent to the table,
even if it is to be eaten cold. Meat is
often wasted just from a lack of this
care.
IF the water in which new turnips are
boiled are well salted, and is changed
twice or three times, the strong and dis
agieeable flavor noticed in them before
lrost comes will almost certainly be re
moved.
AGRIC CTLTURE.
MANY farmers do a large amount of
cooking for themselves and their cattle,
poultry, &c., in copper and brass kettles.
Any of them when not used for a time are
lined with verdigris, called in the books
sibacetate ot copper, also oxide of copper,
and it is soluble in water, and is a virulent
poison. Brass kettles are made trom cop
per and rinc. Any acid will always act
upon metals. If you stew apples, cranber
ries, tomatoes, or any fruit or vegetable
that is ot an acid nature, the acid eats or
corrodes the copper or zinc. No matter
how small the quantity swallowed if is a
foreign substance, as well as poisonous
and produces indigestion. The acul of
apples is called malic or sorbic acid, and
if it comes in contact with copper, zinc,
lead or tin, will produce uialatate of cop
per, zmo, lead aud tin. The fermentation
of apples, or cider made from apples, pro
duces vinegar, which is dilute acetic acid,
and it will also produce the same chemical
changes if it has the opportunity, aud the
results will be acetate of copper, acetate of
zinc, lead and tiu. When the milk becomes
sour it produces lactic acid, which will
act iu the same mauner as the two acids,
and form lactate of copper, lead zinc aud
tin, and all of these metals arc poisonous,
and every one tijures the health of the
individual wko has eaten them iu his or
her food. Dyspepsia is some of its forms,
paralysis, neuralgia, and affection of the
organs of the body are the eousequeuces. 1
would as soon have a copperhead snake m
my house as a brass or copper uteusil for
cooking parposes. If they are scoured
evar so clean, the acid will act upon th<nu
eveh more readily. It is a common occur
rence when pickles becomes little changed
in the spring, to put pickles and vinegar
in a copper or brass kettles and boil theui
for a time and they come out much im
provad in appearance and haudsumely
greened. This bright color is acetate of
copper. Tin vessels also lose their lustre
by long exposure, and form a poison called
ojide of tin. Lead pipes have been used
tor many years to convey drinking water;
if it stands for some time in the pipe the
oxide of lead is formed and any one
drinking it is poisoned.
A VALUABLE CROP FOR SHEEP. —In En
gland rape is considered a most valuable
crop for sheep-keep, yielding the earliest
autumn teed. It is a crop especially adap
ted to fen and peaty soils full of vegetable
mould. Well manured and cultivated on
the flat, in rows fifteen inches or therea
bouts apart, it yields in its leaf and succu
lent stem a large nutritive produce. Among
English farmers, afti r the land has been
manured and cultivated during the spring
months, four or five pounds of seed are
sown with some 300 or 400 pounds of su
perphosphate ui June for the mam crop,
though any time after April (in England)
it may be well to sow portions in order to
have a succession of food available tor
sheep from August onward. Hie rows
are hoed out as turnips aie, but with a
narrower hoe aud without auy special at
tempt to single the plants. The intervals
between the rows should be horse aud
hand hoed. It is leady for the stock id
about tbree months after sowing. English
farmers frequently manage to have an ear
ly piece of rape to give sheep between
grazing and the turrnp feed. Rape is also
cultivated in Great Britain to some extent
on rich alluvial foils for seed. Sown late,
as in July or August, it is cultivated as
when intended tor sheep food, but thinned
out more severely in hoeing. It blooms
in eariy spring, and is ripe aLd ready to
cut in July, when it is tied in sheaves to
dry, and threshed on a sheet in the field,
yielding thirty bushels and sometimes
more oi seed per acre.
A HORSE 8 mouth is easily opened for
exannnatiou by introducing a finger by
the side of the mouth into the space be
tween the nippers aad the griuders, when
he will move his tongue to get rid of *he
finger aad show 80 much of the nippers
or lower teeth as to enable you to ascer
tain his age. Sulky horses require to hare
their lips held apart, and vicious ones will
strike out witn a lore foot when their
moath is meddled with, wherefore care is
sometimes required. A cow's mouth can
not be examined without first holding her
uose, elevating her mouth, and drawing
down her lower lip. Some cows, like
some people, will not allow themselves to
be ta&en by the nose, and it can only oe
done by stratagem. Some have away of
curling up tbeir nostrils when held, S' that
their pressure against the holder's fingers
renders them powerless,but a steady piuch
of the thumb nail agamst the septum or
partition of the nose will make any cow
give way.
Mcrr of our grapes are accidental sel
lings. Deliberate attempts to raise seed
lings have not been encouraging. The late
Dr. Miner had 1500 seed lings, and selected
some of the best. The selections have
good points, but this is about ajl.
IN looking over the history of the sheep
industry it will be fc und that the small
flocks have succeeded much the best. This
is in a great measure due to the fact that
small flocks get the best attention, thrive
better and ate less liable to accident.

UNLESS land is very wet, Prof. F. Fars

KEEP all stables, pens and sheds in per
fect cleanliness. They should be well
ventilated, and not too warm, which is
unhealthtul. Filth is too o r ten a cause or

BE careful about permitting cattle to
drink from ditches or irom pools in which
they are accustomed to stand, or in which
their droppings are deposited. Such im

health of the stock, but is also a iruitful
cause of malarial and typhoid fever among
those who use milk from cows thus wat

Two or three old cattle will add one

One of the most remarkable applications
of photography is that by which it is now
made to register, and in the most accurate
manner, tho mechanical motion of the
heart. The device by which this result is
attained is indeed a triumph of inventive
skill. It consists ot a thin India, rubber
bag, to which a short glass tube is attach
ed; sufficient mercury is poured into the
apparatus to fill iho hag and a portion ot
the tube,and the instrument is then p'aced
over the heart of the person to be exam
ined. Arranged in thin manner, every
pulsation of the heart is indicated by a
corresponding movement of ilie mercury
of the tulie, and, by suitable photographic
apparatus, provided with a moving sensi
tive slip of pajier, a perfect registration of
the extent and rate of the pu'satioa is ob
tained. Ttie interesting f ict is made
known by this process that the fall of the

doses of Hop Bitters for two or three

The g-eat value of Mrs. Lydia E Pink

day experience. The writer of this had
occasion to step into the principal Phar

on inquiry as to which is the most popu

answered, that Mrs. Piukham's Vegetable

Mr. JablochkofF 8 electric candle, al
though very ingenious, must be still fur
ther improved before it can come into
general use. Mr. Tchipaleff says that in
order to give the best result, that kind of
candle requires magnetic electric machines
with a changeable current, and they are
much more expansive than the machine
with constant current. A candle 0.12
metre long will burn 30 minutes, giving a
light equal to 25)uormal candles,and costs
50 centimes, so that a light of 1000 can
dies costs 4 francs an hour, besides the
expense of working the machine. The
cost of lighting the Palais d'lndustne in
Paris br Jabiochkoff's candles would be
about 6 'O,OOO francs instead of 50,000, the
cost ot the ordinary regulator arrangement
for the same purpose.

Hair Hygrometer. —ln a new hair
hygrometer, by Dr. Koppe, of Z inch, the
hair, protected by a sheet metal frame, is
stretched by a small German silver spring,
which can bear 4 grain. In adjustment, a
cloth covered frame, after being moistened
with water, is pushed into the back wall
of the apparatus. In less than a minute
the pointer rises to 100; or it can be exact
ly brought to 100 by turning with a watch
key the shaft to which the end of the hair
is attached. If the moist frame be now
withdrawn, the apparatus soon shows the
moisture of the surrounding air.
6'. O. Williston, who has had ample
opportunity to investigate the subject.says
that the danger irom rattlesnake bites has
been largely overestimated. He has oh
served many cases of wounds inflicted by
that kind ot snake on the larger animals,
and fatal results have been the marked ex
ception. Among horses and cattle not
one case directly fatal has come to his
knowledge. In man, out of 11 cases there
were three deaths, but two of which he
thinks were properly due to ignorance or
improper attention. During the month
of May, when the snakes are mating, they
are more vicious than at other times.
