Colic In Horses.
This disease always comes on sud

likel.1 to attack tho auimal away from
home, on the road, and where remedies
cannot be had, as at home. Animals
whilo in harness, say hauling grain to
market if attacked get down and not
unfrequently die.
1 hav e had some experience in such
ca-es, have never used any kiud o!
medicine, and have never had a fatal
case, nor one that has lasted over half
an hour. While the horse is down
(and if ho does not lio down get him
down) ou his side, as soon as possible

to knead his stomach between the short

Soda or baking-powder biscuits
must be handlist as little and made as
rapidly as possible.
Farmers are too apt to bo stingy
of both milk and cream in their own
families; and it has come to be a famil

world to get either milk, cream or good
cheese, is at the table of a regular dairy

It is a common error that the roots
of trees extend only as far from the
trunk as tho length of tho branches;
tho truth is that thoy are usually longer
on caeh side than the entire height of
the tree. A tree thirtyfeet high forms
a circle of roots more than sixty feet in
diameter. Country Gentleman.

with a small quantity of soda; wash oil
next morning, cut into suitable thick

Soft Soap. Cut two-thirds of a
four-pound bar common soap in small
pieces, put in large kettle with half
wood pail cold water and one pound
washing soda; let stand and simmer
several hours until dissolved, stirring
occasionally: pour into largp stone pot

An attractive and economical tea
cake, and one which mirht appropri
ately be called "children's delight"
is made by taking enough white bread

it a tablespoonful of butter or lard, two
tablespoonfuls of English currants; let
it rise until it is very light then bake

any of the tin cans in which tomatoes
aro put up, use one of them for a baking

bavo a pretty, round loaf, and tho size
and appearance of the slices is also

these tins.
Saving Seed Corn. A writer in
tho iVaine Fanner picks his seed corn
and hangs it up in the smoke-house
and smokes it just as he does his meat
Ho builds a good smoke every day un
til both corn and cob arc perfectly dry.
He is not afraid of getting it too dry, ho
says. It must be kept in a dry place
until planting time, and where there is
plenty of air. Ho is careful not to let
it heat in tho shock before getting it
hun? up. When the weather is wnrm.
corn will heat in a heap so as to injure
tho germ. Ho has saved his seed co n
in this way for the past twenty years,
and it never fails to grow.
Cocoanut cake made from this
recipe is as nice cake as one need wish
tomako: Tako the white of fiv e eggs,
one small cup of sweet milk, one cup
and two thirds of another of granulated
sugar, two-thirds of a cup of butter,
one teaspoonful and a half of baking
powder, about three cups of sifted Hour,
flavor with almond extract bake in
layers. Beat the whites of two or t hreo
eggs to a frost add pulverized sugar
enough to make rather thin frosting
and put between the lavers; on this
scatter cocoanut; put on enough to
make a nice layer; for the top and sides
of the cake the frosting should be a lit
tle thicker. I think the best way to
get the cocoanut on the sides is to'put
it on with your hand; you can press it
jently upon tho frosting and make it
stick to it
Sweet Potato Tie. Tako a
half a pound of sweet potatoes, wash
them, and put them iuto a pot with
very little water, barely enough to keep
them from burning. Let them simmer
slowly about half an hour. They must
be only parboiled.otbcrwise they will be
soft and may mike the pie heavy.
When they are half done, take them
out peel them, and when cold grate
them. Stir together to a cream one
quarter of a pound of butter and six
ounces of sugar; add a grated nutmeg,
a large tca-poonful of cinnamon, and
half a teaspoonful of beaten mace; also
the juice and grated peel of & lemon, a
wine-glass of roscwater. Stir these in
gredients well together. Beat eight
eggs very light and stir them into the
mixture, in turn with the sweet pota
toes, a littlo of each at a time. Hav ing
stirred the whole very hard at the last
put it in our pie-plats', which you have
lined with puff-paste. Bako in rather
a slow oven. To bo eaten cold. Car
