SOUSE AMD FARM. Sb»ll WeWaih Onr Sheep. The Passumsic Farmers’ Club bare been *discuB«ing r this question, an( j what the members said, as re ported in the Vermont - Farmer, is go expressive of general experience, we think, that it is well to open the discussion among shepherds by pub lishing it: j. P. Foster —I am opposed to washing. It injures the sheep and men who wash them j but as loner as buyers offer a premium’ for dirt wc shall be tempted to wash. If buyers would pay strictly accord ing to cleanliness and careful pack in than unwashed, if we let them - ln tsv ° °r three weeks after being u ' l< hcd, ami let them roll in the an d dirt as they will when they C3a find it. The great trouble is ignorance of the buyers. L- y cannot tell half of the time Wp-er the wool is wa-hed or not. c ma ntifacturer has nothing to do the buying only to make the k'co, and he is careful to make it lj u tnuugh for all the poor washing, i, ‘ l 1 d las buyer finds poor washed the price is all right, and if he t ‘ L ‘* well-washed wool it is his luck,-and so much in his fa ur. I sorted wool ten years in a , aCl&1 . v > aQ d know how the wool is ° u ght and handled. j ‘ —For three years past ia>e not washed ray sheep ; I get returns than when I washed. s j’.' ,l( ' ar t lifc of Aprils before the have the barn. By shearing !l .' l 'u-get rid of the ticks that are "• to the sheep. If t i \ A nave gone from the sheep to j, ‘ a little snuft’will kill them. (~ t . )o^l s beop. and lambs do ei than when I washed and sheared late. Often the stock will lose as much wool as the discount that Is made by the buyers between washed and unwashed wool Elastic V arxi§h fob Ladies’ Shoes. —The Manufacturer and Builder furnishes this receipt: Three pounds of rain water are plac ed in a pot over the fire, and when well boiling there are added 4 ounc es white pulverized wax, 1 ounce clear, transparent glue in small Sen egal, 2 ounces white soap scraped fine, 2 ounces pulverized sugar; the ingredients are placed in one by one, and, every time up; it is well to take the pot from the fire every time a substance is added, to prevent boiling over; when all is added the pot is removed from the fire; when sufficiently cooled, 3 ounces alcohol are added, and finally three ounces fine Frankfort black, welP incorporated by continued stirring. This varnish is put on the leather with a brush, and is very valuable for boots and shoes, as it can be afterwards polished with a large brush like ordinary shoe blacking, shows a high polish, and does not soil the clothing. Breakfast Puffs. —Take 2 eggs well beaten and stir into a pint of milk a little salt, a pint of butter and a pint and a half of flour. Beat the eggs and stir the milk. Add the salt, melt the butter and stir in. Then pour all into the flour, so as not to have it lumpy. Stir up thor oughly, and grease the cups into which the batter is poured, filling them two-thirds full. Eat with sauce. Jelly Cake (to roll). —Three eggs, i teacup of sugar; |l table spoonful of cream ; J small teaspoon* ful of soda. Bake five minutes. Pie Crust.—Good pie crust is made by wetting it up with cream instead of water and not taking so much lard tor shortening. It is sweet, tender and melting, and a good deal more Wealthy. I should have said I take sour cream. Custard Cake.—Three eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of flour. Bake in jelly pake tins ° layers. Custard for the above; Halt a pint of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 egg. Boil the custard and flavor with vanilla. Cracker Pies. —Take 6 soda crackers, break them into a dish and pour over them 2 cups of cold water. Let them stand until they can be reduced to a pulp. Add A cups of sugar, 2 teaspoons of tartaric acid and flavor to taste with lemon. This is sufficient for two.pies. Dish fob Breakfast. —Take half a dozen or as many as necessa ry, good cooking apples, cut them in slices about a quarter ot an inch thick; have ready a pan of fresh, hot lard. Drop the slices in and fry brown. A little hot sugar sprinkled over improves them. Serve hot. Hominy Pudding.—How to make a hominy pudding. Prepare as for batter cakes, add 1 egg for each pint, some whole cinnamon, sugar to suit taste, and a few raisins; bake like pice pudding. A little butter or chopped suet may be added. Serve hot or cold, with or without sauce. An Omelet. —Four eggs beaten separately, 1 small teaspoonful of milk # a piece of butter the size of a walnut melted, and put in the milk, uneven teaspoonful of flour. Put in lastly the whites of the eggs well beaten, bake in a quick oven, either in a tin or earthen pan. Stewed Celery.—Wash 2 large heads of celery, throw away the leaves and green stocks, and cut the heart and white stocks into pieces about an inch long. Put these in fast boiling water, and boil them till very tender. Put into stew pan a gill of cream, a little salt, white pepper and pounded mace; put it over the fire,-and when it simmers drain the celery and put it into the cream. Boil up once and serve. Ribbons.—To iron ribbons take a moderately hot flatiron on the ironing board, then place the ribbon on the left side of the iron and pull it through underneath the iron. If the ribbon is not pulled too fast, and the iron is the right warmth, this will be found. to be a much better way than simply rubbing the iifon over the ribbon.
