HOUSEHOLD. STALE DREAD,—A great deal of bread is thrown away by those who can ill afford it from the lack of knowl- edge how to utlhze it, On the farm, in most instances, of course, stale bread is not wholly lost, for if wet a little it makes good food for the poultry, or may be given to the pigs, but this is not the best way to utilize stale bread. It makes delicious griddle-cakes when soaked soft in cold water, Three small slices with water enough to cover them should be sufficient when the milk and flour are added to make about two quarts eof batter. Some prefer to put in some egg, while others like them fully as weu without, When the bread is soaked soft, make it fine with a spoon, add the milk and sufficient flour to stiffen enough so that the cakes can be easily turned. If sour milk is used, add to the batter one even table. spoonful of cream of tartar dissolved in a little water, and an even teaspoon- ful of soda. If you do not use sour milk, use twice as much cream of tar- tar as soda. French toast, always a favorite dish with children, can be made of thin shces cut from a stale loaf and moistened in milk and eggs— wo eggs to a pint of milk—and gnen ried on 4 gnddie with 4 mixture of butter and lard, or butter and beef- drippings, and may be eaten with sugar or syrup, like griddle-cakes. [Pieces of bread which are not too hard can be made nto a resemblance of turkey dressing, Cat the bread into dice, and if you have a quantity of gravy from FARM NOTES. POTATO CULTURE. —A farmer says in the Rural New Yorker: My plan of raising potatoes 1s as follows: Manure broadcast in December or Jan- uary—not later. Plough the manure under as soon as the ground will admit in the spring, Harrow well and plant in drills, three feet apart, pieces of potato cut to two eyes, one foot apart, Cover with a plough when just coming through the ground; crossharrowing, killing all the weeds that have started. Then cultivate often until the vines are too large to work in. I am entirely satisfied that manure apphed broad. cast In January is worth at least four times as much as that put on at the time of ploughing. I keep one lot es- pecially for potatoes and raise nothing else on that lot. I use manure every year, in December, thirty loads to the acre, Of course the ground is getting very rich and mellow by constant manuring and tilling, and that is just what potatoes want, I can get In this way, say, 200 bushels per acre; and am always sure of a crop, I have no trouble whatever with grubs, and I think this is because I apply the manure when I do.
