Trees for Shade Around the House- Rust Stains in Clothmj—The Care of Hogs—Good Cooking Han! boiled eggs ami cornme.il makes : a good first f’>ed Tor ducklings. To remove stains from machine gn»ase or oil, wash in cold rain water and soap. This will not injure colors. Kerosene oil will soften leather shoes that have l>oen wetted ;or machine belts; or harness that has been soaked with rain. Ammonia water will kill any acid that has been dropped upon elothes. In most eases, a few drops of ehloroform will then restore the color. Trees about the house make it more homelike and attraetive. and shield it from the cold winds of winter and the hot sun of summer. It is letter to have a close, warm pen, excluding snow ami cold, and not give the pigs two much betiding. If given the chance they will cover themselves with straw until they l>ecome steaming hot, anu then go outside to the cold, thus making themselves sick from colds affect ing their lungs. A wholesome Dish of Onions.—Boil them in salt and water until they begin to Ik.* tender, drain the water from them and wrap each onion in soft paper, set them side by side into a dripping pan. let them bake until done, then put them into a vegetable dish and jH>nr rich brown gravv over them. Rust stains in clothing—or ink stains which are about the same thing—can l*e removed as follows: Add two parts of cream of tartar to one part of oxalice acid, dry, and keep the mixture in a I >ollie; wet the stained part and appiv a little of the powder; wash out soon after in clear warm water. Rej>eat if neces sarv. Swiss Omelette.—Break six eggs in a howl, add a gill of cream, a quarter pound of grated cheese, some pepper and salt. Dour into a buttered pan. Stir the ome lette well about for a few seconds, so that it will not set like a sponge cake. Let it brown quickly. Fold over on itself and serve. Parsley and a few line bread crumbs added l»efore cooking improve the dish for some tastes. Chicken and Macaroni.—Cut up a ten der chi-ken in neat pieces and fry brown in fresh butter with a few strips of bacon, keeping tlie pan covered. Season with pep[>cr and salt. Boil a handful of the small Italian macaroni, for twenty min utes, drain through a colander, add a large piece of butter, a cup of rich, strong gravy, and, if liked, some grated Par mesan cheese. Arrange the chicken on a very hot dish around the central pile of macaroni, which must )>e thoroughly moist and rich with gravy and butter. Screenings consist not merely of crack ed or imperfect grain, but contain also many heads of weeds seeds that unfit them for feeding whole to any kind of stock. Small seed are seldom digested, and some of the hardest of them grow even letter after passing through the stomachs of horses and cattle. It is this that makes barnyard manure so prolific of weeds wherever it is applied. It is safer to grind screenings, though if they consist almost entirely of weed seeds, it may lx* even l>etter economy to burn them. While a ewe is bearing a lamb part of her nutrition goes to sustaining that. Her fleece is therefore not so heavy as that of the wether, that has no such de mand and is equally well fed. In lamb ing time the ewe has usually some fever which injuriously affects the quality of the wool, by making a weak place in that grown at this period. But in practical selling the wool crop comparatively few buyers can make such distinctions. They buy low enough so that poor wool will pas's muster and leave them a profitable com mission. In very many places in the west where wheat was once grown it now fails so per sistently that its culture has to be aban doned. Some parts oi lowa and South ern Minnesota are now in this condition. The winters are not quite so cold as formerly, but it is the summer heats that wither the plant. Some wheat is still occasionally grown by sowing the spring variety with oats and harvesting both to gether, sepaiating the grains afterward. It is not poverty of soil that causes wheat failiare, as the crop fails on land broken up for the first time, as well as on that long tilled. Those who start cuttings in water will use a butle with a wide mouth, they will find it an easy matter to remove the plant when the time conies to pot it' without injuring the roots. Or, after the roots have reached the side of the glass, thee can sift the fine earth into the bottle till it is an inch or two in depth. After the roots have taken possession of this soil, the top of the 1 Kittle ran I>e broken off by a sharp blow with a knife, and then the mass of earth can be slipped out without disturbing the roots in the least, in ex actly the same manner as the hall of earth in which a plant is growing can he removed from a pot. Apple and Sago Pudding.—Pare and core a half dozen sour, juicy apples, and arrange them in a buttered pudding dish ; i till up the hollow of each apple with sugar and put a bit of butter on top. Cover the dish closely and a set in the oven to bake till the apples are thoroughly done. Meanwhile boil in double kettle a scant cup of sago with two cups of water and a little salt. When done — which may he seen by the transparent, jelly look of the sago and by the taste— heat in a lump of butter, sugar to taste, and flavoring if desired. Pour the sago over the cooked apples in the pudding dish and set back in the oven to brown on the top. There is nothing nicer to serve with the Sunday morning fish halls or liaked beans than green tomato sauce or picalili. Chop a peck of green tomatoes, five green peppers and two onions; mix them well in a wooden or earthen bowl, and sprinkle a cup of salt over them; put them aside and let them stand until morning in a cool place. In the morning drain off all the liquor, put the chopped fruit into a pre serving kettle, and put in vinegar enough to cover; add one cup of sugar, one table spoonful of powdered cloves, one table spoonful cinnamon, one tablespoonful of nutmeg and one-balf a teaspoonful of mace; set it over the fire and cook slowly until the fruit is tender and well cooked, stirring it quite often to prevent it burn ing in the bottom of the kettle. If it seems twro sharp and not mellow enough to the taste, add another half a cup of sugar, and this will serften the taste. NO. 26.
