HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
To Wash Calicoes.
Cnlleoes, muslins, Frontih lawn fttid
cambrics nre a aouree of perplexity and
anxiety to many housekeepers. We
have often heard the remark that
such dreRses, especially calicoes which
are much the cheapest are only fit to
wear while they can be kept decently
clean without washing. .That Is too true,
if they are washed as most are, without
special oversight and direction from the
mistress. Very few servants, if not
emphatically cautioned, understand the
proper mode of doing up such articles.
If left soaking In suds, or washed In
suds which was used to wash the white
clothes ; If starched stlfT and with com
mon starch, or In flour starch ; If hung
In the sun to dry, and Ironed on the
right side with a very hot Iron, It Is not
strange they are not thought suitable
for use after once having been washed
and Ironed. But If carefully treated In
the laundry, dresses of cither of these
materials should continue to look fresh
and new till thoroughly worn out.
Black or white cotton or linen dresseB
are thought very difficult to cleanse and
do up because the color "runs" and
settles In the white, and the same com
plaint Is made of stone, slate, brown or
maroon colors. But by a few precau
tions and a little extra care in the first
washing there need be no further trouble
with any of these colors.
Before washing black and white cot
ton or linen dresses, or any of these
dark colors, first dip them in salt and
water, and hang In a shady place to dry.
Two coffee cups of salt to eight or ten
quarts of cold water is the proper pro
portion. When dry put them into alight
suds, not very hot, and wash as usual.
A little salt in the rinsing water is de
sirable. After washing once In this
way they can ever after be washed
without these precautions. No colored
goods should be allowed to soak at all,
either in suds or rinsing water. Let
this work be done as speedily, with as
little delay when first beguu, as is
consistent with being well done.
An easy way and we have tried It
successful in washing the fine colored
lisle and cotton hosiery of dark and
medium colors now so much used Is to
put black pepper Into the suds when hot,
let it stand till the water is cool enough
to wash colored goods, and then put
them in and wash as usual ; rinse in one
spoonful and a half of pepper to a pailful
of water. The pepper does not afTect
the suds at all, but sets the color, and
we are told that it Is equally effective
with all cotton or linen fabrics, light or
dark. We have tried only on hosiery,
and not on any very light colors.

The Use of Corn.
A Virginian writes in praise of corn,
not only as the best food for laboring
men, but for domestic animals of all
kinds. He states that the usual rations
for a negro laborer, for a week, is one
and a half pecks of corn, three pounds
of bacon, and a little molasses. They
thrive on it, and mules, as a rule, have
only corn for grain, but they live longer
and do more work than Northern horses
that feed on oats. In this part of the
country dogs ars fed almost exclusively
on cornmeal, and they not unfrequently
eat corn in the ear, while wandering
curs devour it on the stalk. Even cats
eat cornmeal stirred up with water, as
is the case of chicken feed.
Saratoga Potatoes.
Take the number of potatoes required,
peel them, and cut them In very thin
slices ; wash and wipe as dry as possible ;
fry them the same as you would crullers;
when well browned place into a colan
der with a skimmer, and sprinkle a
little salt on them while hot.
A Receipt for a Walnut Stain.

dyke brown, 2$ ozs.; potassium bichro
mate, i to i oz.; boil for ten minutes, re

Use hot, and allow the work to dry
thoroughly before oiling or varnishing.
Sweeping Carpets.
Dampen corn meal, sprinkle it over
fte carpet, then take a dry broom, and
sweep it off briskly.
