CHEAP MEALS. Tho It-nhil Work of llm Femnlo Snporln.' trndr-nt of I he Now York tonkins: Hrhnnl Ciii"rtp nnd Wholesome Konl Vnlimblo MnxarntlonN. The vital question in those dnys of re duced Bixlnries, of lack of emplojrmeut An 1 general shrinkage of incomes, is how to live, how to sustain life, how to keep up with the least outlay of money neces . sary. This question has been most sat isfactorily answered by a little cookbook entitled: "Fifteen Cent Dinners for Workingmen's Families," which has been issned by Miss Juliet Cornou, Su perintendent of tho New York Cooking School, at No. 8 St. Murk's place, New York. The book is intended for gratui tous distribution, and is filled with val uable suggestions as to the proper and judicious selection of healthful, nourish ing food nt the lowest possible coBt. The work contains useful hints regarding marketing, cooking, seasoniug.and every thing appertaining to the procuring, pre paring and furnishing meals in a satis factory and economic manner. Tho author attempts np ridiculous and im practicable efforts to limit the frugally disposed to an unvarying vegetable or fnriuaceous diet, but sligws by facts and figures that good blood and bone-making meals can bo prepared by modest drafts upon the sleuderest purse. In the pre face Miss Carson says : "The first food of nearly nil living creatures is milk, the only entire natural food ; that is, the only food upon which health and strength can be sustained for any length of time, without using any other nourishment. For this reason it is the best food yon can give the children if you must restrict their diet at all ; aud it also is a valuable addition to the food of grown persons. While this fact about milk is settled, it is generally ac knowledged by people who study the subject that we thrive best on a variety. We get warmth and strength from fat meat, wheat, rye, barley, rice, milk, sugar, fruit, peas, beans, lentils, macaroui, and the roots of vegetables ; wo gain flesh from lean meat, unbolted flour, oatmeal, eggs, cheese, and green vegetables ; and, if we want to think clearly, we must use fish, poultry, the different grains, nnd a good variety of fr iit aud vegetables." Iu the chapter headed " How to Cook, Season and Measure," we find the fol lowing valuable suggestions : J!oating or Baking. The first is the most extravagant way of cooking moat, as it wastes nearly one-third of its sub stance in drippings and steam ; the se cond is also very wasteful, unless the meat is Burroundod with vegetables, or covered with a flour paste. When you do bake meat without a covering of paste, put it into a hot oven at the start, to crisp the outside aud to keep in the val uable juices ; you can moderate the heat of the oven as soon as the meat is brown, aud let it finish cooking slowly by the heat of the steam which is constantly forming inside of it. It generally takes twenty minutes to bake each pound of of meat. JJroiling. This is another extrava gant way of cooking meat, for a great deal of the fat runs into the fire, and some nourishment escapes up the chim ney with the steam. It' you must broil meat, have your fire hot and clear, and your gridiron perfectly clean ; and, un less it has a ledge to hold the drippings, tip it toward the back of the fire, so that the fat will burn there, and not blacken the meat ns it would if the gridiron were laid flat, and the fat could burn under the meat. .Never stick a fork into broiled meat to turn it ; aud do not cut it to see if it is done ; for if you do either you will let out the juice. Study the follow ing table, nnd then remember how near tho time given in it comes to cooking according to your taste. Fish will broil in from rive to ten minutes ; birds nnd poultry in from three to fifteen minutes : chops in from ten to fifteen minutes, and steak m from ten to twtnty minutes. Hailing and Stewing. Boiling food slowly, or stewing it gently, saves all its goodness. After the pot once boils yon caunot make its contents cook nnv foster if you have fire enough under it to run a steam engine ; so save your fuel, and aud it to tho hre, little, only enough at a time to keep the pot boiling, Remember, if you boil meat hard aud aud fast it will be tough and tasteless. aud most of its goodness will go up the chimney, or out of the window, with the steam. Boil the meat gently, aud keep it covero 1 close to save the steam ; it will condense ou the inside of the cover, and fall back in drops of moisture upon the meat. Tho following table shows how much is wasted in the different ways of cooking wo have just spoken of. Four pounds of beef waste iu boiling or stowing, about one pound of substance, but you have it all iu tho broth if you have kept the pot covered tightly, iu baking one pound aud a quarter is almost entirely lost unless you have plenty of vegetables iu the dripping pan to absorb aud preserve it ; iu roasting before the fire you lose nearly one pound and a half. Do you think you save the waste in the shape of drip pings ; it is poor economy to buy fat nt the price of meat merely for the pleasure of trying it out. Frying. This is a very good method of cooking fish, and of warming cold meat and vegetables. To fry well put into your frying pou enough fat to cover what you mean to fry, and let it get smoking hot, but do not burn it ; then put in your food, nnd it will not soak fat, and will generally be done by the time it is nicely browned. To saute or half-fry any article, you should begin by putting iu the pan enough fat to cover the bottom, and let it get smoking hot, but not burn, before you put in the food. This also is a good way to warm over meat, vegetables, oatmeal or pud ding. A very good way to cook meat and vegetables together is to put them in an earthen jar, covor it tightly, and cement tho cover on with flour paste ; then bake for about four hours. If you are going to use a piece of meat cold do not cut it until it cools, and it will be more juicy. If the meat is salt let it cool in its own pot liquor, for the name reason. Salt and Smoked Meats. These meats are best when they are put over the lire in cold water, brought gradually to a boil, aud then set back from the fierce heat of the fire, so as to keep scalding hot without boiling ; they take longer to cook this way, but they are touder and delicious, and very little fat is wasted. S uoning Food. Many people have the idea that a finely flavored dish must cost a great deal ; that is a mistake ; if you have untainted meat, or souud vege tables, or even 'Indian meal, to begiu with, you can make it delicious with proper seasoning. One reason why French cooking is much nicer than any other is that it is seasoned with a groat vavif ty of hrls ami spices ; thene cost very little ; if you would liny a IW I'cnt.s' worth at a timo you would ttooii have a good assortment The best kinds are sago, thyme, tweet niajoruin, tarra gon, mint, tweet ba.il, partley, bay leaves, cloves, mace, celery Beed nnd onions. If yon will plant the seed of nny of these seven first mentioned iu little boxes on your window Bill, or in a sunny Bpot iu the yard, you can gener ally raise nil you need. Gather aud dry them ns follows : pnrseiy ami tarrngon, should bo dried in June nnd July, just before flowering ; mint in June and July ; thyme, mnjoram and savory in July and August j basil aud sage iu August and September ; all herbs should be gather ed in the sunshine, nnd dried by arti ficial lient ; their flavor is best preserved by keeping them iu nir-tight tin cans, or in tightly corked glass bottles. Mcamring. lie careini noon, meas uring. JLo not think yon can guess just right every time ; you cannot do it. One day the dinner will be a great deal bet ter thnu another, nnd you will wonder why ; it will be beennse it is carefully seasoned and properly cooked. A good rule for seasoning soups nnd stews, is half nn ounce, or a level tablespoonfnl of salt, nnd half a level tablespoonful of pepper to each quart of water ; try it, if it is right you will know how much to . r. A it il in ..irrl.t olf-A. 4t In alt mu , 11 IV ID UUV iiuu, niuvi iv ws diiiv your taste ; but settlo the point for once, nnd then you will know what to depend upon. The following table will give you some good hints about measuring ; there are four tenspoonfuls in one tablespoon ; ono tablespoonful in one ounce ; two ounces iu one wineglassful ; two wine glassfuls in one gill ; two gills in one good-sized cupful; two cupfuls in one pint J two pints iu one quart. Oue quart of sifted flour, thrown into the measure, nnd shaken down, but not pressed, weighs one pound ; one quart of Iudion com meal, shaken down in the measure, weighs one pound and three ounces ; one quart of nuo sugar weighs one pound and a half. AMERICAN FRUIT CULTURE. Interesting I'mnnlnsli'iil MntlntirXeiirl.Y Five .Million Acres lirvoteil to Frnit Culture. Few persons, probably, except those who are nctivcly connected with pomo logical interests, have any idea of the rapid growth nnd present extent of fruit culture. An indication of the increasing interest in the subject is the organiza tion of the I'omological Society, which, nt the last session iu Chicago, included representatives iu person from twenty eight States, Territories and Provinces, with lettevs of correspondence in nine others, making a total of thirty-seven. When the Society first met, in 1848, the delegates present represented twelve States. More substantial indications of the progress of frnit culture . ore, how ever, to be found in the statistics which show its present condition. According to the government state ment, tue number of acres under cul tivation in orchards, vines and small fruits is estimated at 4,500,000, The number of trees is estimated as follows : Apples, 112,000,000 ; pears, 28,200,000 ; peaches, 112,270,000 ; grapes, 141,260, 000 ; total, 393,790,000. The estimated value of fruit products is : Apples, $50, 400,000 ; pears, 14,130,000 ; peaches, 56,135,000 ; grapes, 2,118,000 ; straw berries, $5,000,000 ; other fruits, $10, 432,800 ; making a total of 133,210,700, or nearly equal to one-half of the value of our average wheat crop. California, in addition to her figs, oranges, olives and almonds, has nearly one-third of the whole grape area, sixty thousand ncres of vineynrds, and forty-three millions of vines, yielding annually, besides grapes nud raisins for the market, ten millions of gallons of wines. The wines of Mis souri, Ohio and other States bring the whole wine product up to fifteen millions of gallons. A few illustrations will suffice to show the immense quantities of fruits which ore sent to market in addition to what is consumed at home. Of strawberries, there were received in a single day in the New York market, at the height cf the last season, upward of 10,000 bush els. The shipments from Norfolk this years have been over 3,000,000 quarts Boston alone receiving from that source more than 10,000 bushels. The peach crop of 1875, in Delaware and Maryland alone, was estimated at between 7,000,- 000 nud 8,000,000 baskets. California sent East, in 1876, 334 car loads of fruit, of four hundred bushels each ; an in crease of more than one liundred per cent, over the previous year. Of the strawberry, from San Jose, Cal., and vicinity, there were sent some days, for homo consumption, forty tons : and in a circuit of about fivo miles there are more than a thousand acres of this frnit under cultivation. In Illinois, very little fruit was raised, except for home use, until 1840 ; now there are 320,000 acres of or chards in that State. At the last ex hibition of the Georgia Horticultural society tho display included nearly two hundred varieties of fruits, among them fifty-six varieties of peaches, upwards of fifty of grapes, and forty of pears. The value of tho apple product in a single couuty in New York is estimated, in good seasons, at a million dollars ; and in addition to those consumed at home the State exports oue and a half million of barrels. Michigan also is a great fruit-producing State, the annual value of the crop being 4,000,000. Reports from the Southern States and from Call fornia show immense growth in the cul tivntiou of oranges nnd other tropical fruits, and it appears probable that all that is needed for the consumption ef the whole country can be supplied by these sections. Train Robbers'" Fate. Encamped in a shallow ravine upon the plains, near the lonely place known as Buffalo Station, on the Kansas Pacific railroad, were Sheriff Bardsley, of Ellis county, .Kansas, and thirteen United States soldiers. Late in the afternoon across the plain came riding slowly, apparently two Texas "Uow Boys, Between their .norses walked a pony laden witn somotniug, while not bulky, seemed to try its strength. The sheriff started in pursuit, with tho soldiers, and soon evertook the travelers, who, although seeing that they were pursued. made no attempt at flight. The sheriff said : "I have a description of some train robbers which answers well to your ai pearance. I want you nnd your partner to return with me to the station. lou need fear nothing if you are innocent, and if you are the men 1 want, then am HfU.uuu better off." " ion are mis taken in yonnmeu," ono of the riders (aid, but of course we will go back aud have the mistake explained." They then turned their tired horses toward the station, but had not" gone far when the man who had answered tho sheriff said to his companion : Pard if we are to die, we might as well; die came." lie then drew a revolver aud his compauiou did likewise, but before either could lire tho soldiers had riddled them with bullets nnd both were .killed, Tied up in a pair of old trousers, on the pony h back, wero $52.r,000 in'2() gold pieces- part of the 00.000 in gold taken by the men who robbed the Union Paeilin railroad train at Bigf Springs, . Neb. , a week previously. The muu who replied to the bheritf was the leader of the robber. FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. Household Hints. Fon Starching Linen. Use one ten opoouful powdered borax to one qunrt boiling Btnrch J it will improve the stiff ness and gloss. To Polish Nickel Plats. Scour with pulverized borax ; nso hot water and very little soap ; rinse in hot water, and rub dry with a clean cloth. To Cleanse Jewemiy. Use hot water and a clean brush ; rub a very little soap on the brush, then dip it into powdered borax aud sconr well j rinse in hot water nud rub dry with a clenn towel,, or cham ois is better ; silver bangles are bright ened in the same way. Grease SroTS from Carpets, First have the carpet well swept, then with a pail of hot water, containing a table spoonful of powdered borax, scrub the Boiled or greasy spots well ; use a clean scrubbing brush and a very little soap ; rinse well with clean hot water, and rub ns dry as possible with a clean, dry house-cloth ; then open the windows, and let in tho air to dry quickly. To Clean Steel Engravings, rince the engraving in a shallow dish or trny ; cover to the depth of one-half inch with a week solution of chloride of lime (about a teaspoonful to a pint of spring water) for about six hours ; pour olF carefully without touching the paper, nnd dry in the sur ; afterward remove the deposit carefully with a camel's hair brush from the face of the picture. To Set the Color in Stockings When washed for the first time, use a little ox gall, (which can be procured at the druggist's) ; use it in the first water only ; also have a teaspoonful of pow dered borax to every pail of hot water ; uso very little Bonp ; nfter the first use of ox gall, borax will nuser every pur pose; do not let the stockings remain long in any water ; hang in the shade to dry. To Cleanse the Woodwork Around Doors. Take a pail of hot water ; put in two tablespoonfuls of pulverized bo rax ; use a good coarse nouse ciotu an old coarse towel does splendidly and wash the painting ; do not use a brush ; when washing places that are extra yel low are stained, soap the cloth ; then sprinkle it with the dry powdered borox, and rub the places well, using plenty of rinsing water ; by washing the wood work in this way you will not remove the paint, and the borax will soften and make the hands white a fact well worth knowing. The uses of borax in domes tic economy are numerous : and one of the most valuable is its employment to aid the detergent properties of soap. Testing Jj lour. The rise in the price of bread caused by the declaration of war by Russia against Turkey may lead unprincipled men men to imitate the adulteration of flour practiced in foreign countries. An asy method of detect ing such adulteration, according to Je gel, is to mix the flour with chloroform. The chloroform exerts no chemical ao tion upon the flour ; but being specific ally heavier than flour and lighter than the earthy adulterants, the former floats upon the chloroform and the adulterant sinks. On shaking np a sample of flour in a test tube of chloroform and allowing it to settle, a sediment will indicate adul teration. On decanting the turbid liquor the sediment may be washed and weighed, or tested quantitatively. Having; J allien Need. There are, of course, many kinds of seeds which a farmer cannot grow to ad vantage, aud for which he must depend seedsmen. There are many other kinds which he can and should save, so as to be assured of their freshness aud germinating powers. As earliness is a point of great importance nowadays, whether the vegetables be desired for home consumption or market, only the very earliest plants should be saved for seed, as well as the very nnest. in to- matoes, I have found a material diner ence in earliness from seed saved from the first setting. I do not think it is of much importance whether the seed toma toes are token from the early patch or from the late patch, provided the first setting is taken. However, we generally take from the early patches of nil kinds of vegetables, so, it there is nny ndvau tage, we will be sure to get it. In saving seed sweet corn it should be the practice to wholly reserve one or more rows of the earliest ripening, and when it has ripened, select only the finest ears. Too many are apt to take for seed what is left in the patch after cutting, and the consequence is far more serious than is generally supposed. The best seed is none too good, and those who use only the best are most success ful, other things being equal. With potatoes, we have found, with both the white or Irish and the sweet, that the medium or small sized tubers produce equally as well as the first or farge size, ami there is not so much waste, provided, of course, that they had ripened before being harvested. With sweet potatoes it is especially desirable to use the sec oud size, for they are worth less than the largo ones, and they will, when put m the beil to be sprouted in tho spring, produce far moro "sprouts" for the same extent of bed room than will the larger ones. In selecting beets, carrots, parsnips turnips, etc.. for seed, choose only the finest. Take the tops off carefully aud not too closely, so as to leave the crowns unimpaired or uninjured, and do not cut off nny of the roots or rootlets. Pack them away in tho dark in the cellar, iu sand, so they will not dry out while in winter quarters, and in the spring they will be found in most excellent condi tion, aud should be planted out in some rich, well-tilled spot just as soon ns you possibly can when the ground is dry enough. With cabbages, the very best aud solidest heads, sud best-kept ones are selected aud put out in rich soil early iu the spring. Onions intended for seed should be put out early and m rich, loamy soil. In putting out vegetables intended for seed, remember that they require rich, well-worked soil, nnd un less this be supplied, the seed will neith er bo very pleutif ul or of extra quality. A Cave Containing Millions of Cats A San Antonio (Texas) correspondent writes r Our objective point was the great bat cave some ten miles northeast of the little town of Selma, a place sel dom visited bv northorn tourists. When within less thnn a mile of the cave, which is situated ou the crest of a high bluff that may culled an irregular table land, General Ord directed my attention to an immense dark shadow in the hori zon, extending from the ground line high up into the heavens. It had all the appearance of a strong volume of muoko issuing from the fnunol of a gigantic ocean steamer. "It looks like smoke," said the general, "but it is simply a cloud of bats issuing from the cave." On approaching nearer I could distinctly make out the flying vermin which were, ti'nly, thicker than the dousent swarm of lieei I have ever seen, and there ap pealed to be no end iJf them. Wo soon reached the cave, which dips into a braiubly gorge, nud from the capacious mouth, uliftoed like the half-choked arch pf bridge, w ooi)14 e tbe batt flying out in tens of thousands, the columns growing deeper every sooond. The cave is gloomy as the realms of Tlnto, having n gentle decline for some hundreds of feet, the roof being quite lofty nnd the floor covered to an incalculable depth with guano deposit, which exhales nn effluvium calculated to knock down the strongest kind of a horse. The guano will be more efficient as a barrier against lurking desperadoes than all the police in Texas. Bats, ns you know, do not perch singly, but hang to the wall and to each other, just as bees do when iu " swnrm." The temperature of the cave is sufficiently low to prevent them from becoming heated, and how they manage to support the enormous weight of their own masses is a question which only practical naturalists can solve. They manage to do it, though, without the slightest apparent discomf6rt. And there cannot, at a moderate computation, be less than thirty million of bats in those enormous caves.
