ROASTING The first consideration to roast properly is to have a well and evenly lighted fire, whiclishould never be allowed to get low, but must constantly be replenished with coals,' added in such away as not to deaden • it. It stands to reason that, if the fire is not kept up, no stated length of time can be fixed for cooking. Avoid all draughts bet Ween the fire and screen; a joint subjected to such a draught would take much longer to stook. The fire should e thoraighly lighted be 4 fore the roast is pu t befor4 it. Pnt two gills of broth in the dripping4in for basting; large, joints, poultry and game, ahouldbo basted five or six times during cooking; par tridges and small game, three times. To roast the following joints the tim e re guired will be: For apiece of beef weigh mg seven pounds, an hour and three quir tem; for a leg of mutton, weighing seven pounds, an hour and a half; for a neck or loin of veal, weighing three pounds, fifty minutes; for a neck or loin of pork, weigh ing three pounds, fifty minutes; for a tut , key;weighing about eight and a half pounds, an hour and three ,quarters; for a small tur key, weighing about three and a half pounds, forty-five minutes; for a goose, weighing about six pounds, an hour aid a half; for a capan, weighing about four pounds, fifty minutes; for a fowl, weighing about three pounds, half an hour; for a pig eon, a quarter of an hour; for a pheasant, thirty-five minutes; for a partridge or wood cock, a quarter of lan hour; for larks, six minutes, before a brisk fire; for a duck, a quarter of an hour; the same time for a wild duck; for a leveret,jhalf an hour; for a hare's back, half an hourfor a small wild rabbit, a quarter of an hour. need not point! out that these rules of time required for cdoking, will, of course be modified by circumitances; there are differ ent natures and qualities of meat, which cook more or less rapidly. It will always be necessary to ascertain whether a joint is done before taking it off the spit; the easi est way to find thisiout is, in the case of meat, to press the fleshiest part with the fin ger; in poultry and ,utlme the leg should be tested; if the cooking is perfect, both will give way to the finger, if not, there will be a certain degree of resistance. BROILING To broil with charcoal: make a layer of charcoal, cinders and lighted embers, ° cm'. ering a surface extending 2 inches beyond the edges of the horizontal gridiron. The thickness of the lighted coal should be inch for a brisk fire, and 1 inch for a slow fire; in each case the embers should be equally lighted, and not in parts dead and at others brightly burning. It is a mistake 1 to seek to economize fuel in broiling; the result will most probably be—inefficient cooking, and perhaps entire spoiling of the meat, It'is general to set up the gridiron on a 'cast-iron slab, or on,the plate covering• the stove. A rump steak, trimmed, weighing one and a half pounds, will require eight to ten 'minutes, according—to - thickness', to broil on a brisk fire; a fillet steak, trimmed, weighing seven ounces, will require seven minutes.to broil on a brisk fire; a mutton chop, trimmed, weighing on - he average five ounces, will require six minutes to broil on a brisk fire; a bread-crumbled mutton cut let should be broiled on a slow fire, and left one minute longer; a sheep's kidney will require four minutes to , broil on a brisk fire; a vesd,:chop,trimmed, weighing seven ounces, will require nine minutes to broil on a brisk fire; a pork chop; of the same weight will require the same time; :.a bread-crumbed veal or pork cutlet should be broiled on a slow fire, and left' on two minntesl, louver. FRYING. Fat is the best for frying; the light color= tj ed dripping of roast meat and the fat taken -•• off broth are to be preferred. These failing, beef suet chopped fine, and melted down on a slow fire, with Out browning, will do very well. When the 'bottom of the'stew-pan 11 can be seen through the suet, it is sufficiently, t l melted.= Let it cool for a quarter of an hour and strain through the gravy strainer; to do this while too hot would be likely to pelt ,the strainer. -- • : When butter 'rnsed for frying, it requires special care, and; on account of its heating 4 quicker than fat, 'calls for a slow fire. Oil may be used for frying, but requires careful •lhandling; it should be warmed first, for at I least twenty-five minutes, on a very slow ; fire, so as to preient its rising and boiling ; lover. .T. i ard is also extensively employed; 'but I am no advOcate for it,' as it always peeves an unpleasant coating of fat on what ever is fried in it. That may be kept in use for frying until id assumes a dark brown color, which is a E,ign of its ugelessness, for then it will no ~ longer fry well, and will impart a bad color ! and unpleasant taste. •INSTRUCTIONS FOR FRYING. V The fat should vary in heat according to the nature of the things to be fried. Too great a .degree of heat should - be avoided • on_all cases. This excessive heat is indi cated by the smoke rising from the kettle. The different degrees of heat may be de :ttermined by throwing into the fat a small. , ' , ,niece of crumb of bread of -the size of a nut; . '!if it fizzes and producis at once large air bubbles, the - fat has reached that degree of =heat which we shall designate as hot fat. IFor•warm fat, the piece of bread should 'produce very small air-bubbles, accompan ied by scarcely any fizzing. • I Should too many things be put, in the :frying-kettle together they will be badly Wried; for instance, .11: five fish were put to 'igether in a kettle , - only large enough for :three, there would; not be suffilent treat to "cook them properly. In such a case the ;fish should be taken out when three parts ;'done, the fat then made very hot, and three fish put in again for two Minutes; when :these are taken out the other two should be pit in for the same length of time. This -will remedy the evil of crowding too many Ins!). in the kettle at once. Fried things should be of a light golden brown color, crisp, and free from fat. FRYING Barran, Frying batter is used for meat, fish and :sweet dishes. To make it, ounces of pour, 2 eggs, and 2 table-spoonfuls of oil ;will, be required. Sift the sour through a sieve into a basin; make a hole in the cen tre, and pour in 1 gill of water; add •a small 'pinch of salt, yoke of 2 eggs (reserving the - vhites for whipping,) and the 2 spoonfuls !of . oil; - work into a smooth paste, thick nough to cover the spoon with a coating of :about of an inch;; should it be too thick, a or half a gill of water may be added. "Twenty minutes before using- tab — batter add the whitespf eggs well whisked, and Put by for4..vint• purposes. BEMIDINGS AND RAIIIINGB. For breading, use beaten eggs, oil, and }die crumbs of stale bread. Put the bread In a cloth, of which take up the four cor ners in one hand, and. with' the other rub he bread to break it up small, then pass it .hrough a wire sieve, dry in the oven,- tnd put by in a closed box for use. For breading ,"the eggs should be well a n and mixed together; to three eggs add one : tablespoonful of oil,. one 'tablespoonful of water, a pin& of salt and a small pinch- of pepper. The water is added to , prevent the breading being too thick. Raspings are made with crusts of bread, baked to a br:ght golden color, then crushed with a; rolling-pin or a' mortar; passed through a wire sieve, and put by in a box for use.—flarper's Weekly, Make More Butter: Batter is very high, and it is desirable to increase the supply of an article in such general use. There is but one way:of doing this. We cannot increase the number of cows so as to meet the demand this fall and winter, but we can by liberal feeding enable the cows that we have to give more milk, or at least we can get milk containing from one-third to .one-half more butter. That liberal feed ing will do this there can be no question. What extra food to give depends on circum stances. The quality of the grass at this season is apt to deteriorate, and even when there is abundance of it, a little richer food can be given to the cows with great advan tage. When grass is short, there' is still zeater necessity for, and advantage in, pro viding extra food.' In many sections there is much Corn imperfectly eared; and there can be no better way of disposing of it than to feed it out, stalks and all, to: mulch cows. This will save husking. If well cured and put in small stacks, or in a barn, with lay ers of straw between the corn, very few of the soft ears will mould. A liberal supply of such fader will keep up the flow of milk until Christimm, and if the cows are pro vided with warm stables, butter may be made nearly all winter. When there is no fodder of this kind on the farm, feed ordinary corn stalks, or hay and straw, with a liberal allowance of some kind of ain or 011-cake. •Probably corn meal is the cheapest food that can be ased, and so far as the writer's experience extends, he has never found any trouble in using it. Four quarts a day to each cow have been used to great advantage, and at the present price of batter such feeding is quiteproflt able. Some dairymen . prefer to feed half ,commeal and half bran. When peas can be obtained at about the same price as corn, a mixture of equal parts of corn and pea meal is perhaps the very best food that can be given to a cow. If wheat bran was cheap, say but a little higher than hay, we would feed that also. But our object is not so much to say which is the best grain to feed mulch cows, as to urge farmers to feed grain of some kind. It does not so much matter what— only give the cows a liberal supply of food, and they will return a liberal supply of but ter. The kind of grain and the way of feeding is left to the judgment and rood sense of the readers. When it is conve nient it is better to "slop" the cows but if not convenient the fodder may be chaffed and moistened with water, and a due pro portion of meal mixed with' it, caral being taken that the maneers are so constructed as to avoid waste. With a good supply of food, regularity in feeding, comfortable sta bles cleaned out daily, proper ventilation, and water easily accessible, there Is no trouble in doubling the ordinary quantity of butter from now until mid-summer or later. —America n Agrieu uraiist. Wintering Sheep. Farmers owning sheep ought to see that their quarters for winter, are comfortable before the cold season is at hand. Plenty of room should be provided, for sheep will not do well when crowded in too close quar ters.' Theiipens or shedi should be well ventilated. A covering of straw makes a first rate ' rooting. The floor should be well littered with straw once in three or four days and as often cleaned. The straw and excrements should be added to the manure heap. Sheepi should be fed regularly. Hay should tiOdisposed in racks, easily reached while feeding, yet high enough to bel clear of any contact with their feet or the ground. They should be given oats, or whatever is given in beside their hay, at regular hours. Much advantage is gained by regularity in all matters pertaining to the farm and,farm yard. If farmers understood this fact and put it In practice more than they do they would be gainers by it They should not be feed too highly. More is lost by high feeding than gained.! An old uncle of mine, having had a long expe rience in sheep raising and keeping, used to say that one spoonful Of oats per day was ,sufficient, 'and that sheep would do; well enough on that allowance with plenty of hay. Salt should be given at least once a week. Care should be taken when building the pens or sheds, Us make an entrance ilarge ,enough. Sheep ought not to be crowded in going ii and out. Many fine animals', have been injured in that way, for sheep gener ally go in and out of their quarters, when feeding time comes, with a rush, and hud dle up close together: If the entrance is sufficiently large, there need be no danger from crowding. All weakly, scrawny lambs or sheep ought to be separated from those in good condi tion, and allowed an extra allowance to "catch up." Poor scrawny, sheep never stand much of a chance in a fioek of fat, thrifty , ones. They are always knocked around. and 'seldom get their shai e of food. I am glad to see that farmers are milling . up to their interests, and getting sheep or improved breeds. The old fashioned long and coarse wooled kinds ought to give place to such sorts as, the Southdown, Cotswold of Merino. Not only is the yield of wool greater but it is of a very superior quality and brings a much higher price. —hrprtli western Farmer. Ice House. The Scientific .flinerican, gives the follow ing plan for a neat, cheap and good ice house : A ff iamily ice house need not be an expen sive structure. It may be built cheaply, subserve its object txcellently, and add to the attractions of a homestead, by being a sightly object. A building of twelve Meet square and eight or nine feet high is suffi cient for the wants of the most -exacting family. It may be tifraine building, entire ly above the surface of the ground, and 'bet ter it supported on posts, elevated a few inohes, to be certain of good drainage. Built,of joists, two by three inches, with an outer'boarding, having inside another series of uprights, also boarded, from six to!, ten inches removed from the outer shell, with a solid floor of plank, the space between the tyro wallsifilled with tan, sawdust, straw or chaff, and a roof of good pitch, the ice house is complete. A drain for water should be made from the floor, and th_e space above the uprignts between a loose flooring and the pitch of thn roof, tilled with strsw, hay, or sonic similar porous material. Oa the roof should be a ventilator, the top, de fended from the rain or. snow. The ice should be packed in one solid mass, the sides not reaching the inner Walls of the building, but allowed a space of from six to twelve inches all around.. The top of the ice should be covered with straw,_ and the doer should be like the sides of the building, or double doors should be made, one in the outer and the other in the inner wall. Plant morning glories or any chine mg plant around the building, and Induce them to creep jup the walls and over the roof as an additional defense against the fer vid sun of the summer.
