USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. —Baked Milk.—Put half a gallon of milk in a jar and tie it down with writing paper. Let it stand in a moderate oven eight or ten hours. It will be like cream and very nutritious.—Farm and Fireside. , r, —Brown Betty.'—Fill a dish with alternate layers of bread crumbs and slices of apple. Season each layer with sugar and nutmeg: pour milk over the whole, and add bits of butter! • Bake until the apple is soft; serve with sugar and cream.—Rural New Yorker. —Cinnaihon Wafers.—One pound of sugar, one-quarter of a pound of butter, one tablespoonful -of cinnamon, three eggs, half a teaspoonful of soda, dissolve in a tablespoonful of water, flour enough to roll out- Roll thin and bake in quick oven. These will keep for weeks.—Boston Budget. —Cup Pudding.—Soak two cupfuls of bread crumbs in one cup of water; stir into it one-half a cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of shredded citron, the juice and grated peel of one lemon, the yolks of two eggs and the beaten whites fast Have the custard cups buttered, pour the pudding in them and bake in a moderate oven to a good brown. Turn out when done, sprinkle with sugar and eat with sauce. This may also be .baked in small tin pans.— House Queen. —Graham Cookies.—A cupful of butter, two of sugar, three well-beaten eggs and two tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Mix to a pretty stiff dough with graham flour. Put tine flour on the kneading-board and roll out very thin, cut in a novel 'shape, if possible, , and bake thoroughly. These are especially valuable for children who do not like graham bread, or who do not find it on the breakfast table or in the lunch basket Grandmothers, whose cookies are usually the best, are requested to try this receipt—Country Gentleman. —One Crust Peach Pie.—Pare and remove the stores from ripe, nice flavored peaches, stew till soft in the smallest quantity of water possible without burning. Rub through a colander, or beat smooth with a spoon. Add sugar as required. Bake with one crust If the peach sauce is evaporated until quite dry, it is very nice baked in a granola crust. When done, meringue with the whites of two eggs whipped stiff with two tablespoonfuls of sugar. The flavor is improved by adding by degrees to the egg while whipping, a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Return to the oven and brown lightly. Serve -Good Health. addle of Venison.—In preparing a small saddle of venison it should first be thoroughly trimmed the outside sinews removed, the meat finely larded, then tied firmly two or three times around. Slice into the roasting-pan one onion and one carrot; rub a half ounce of butter over the venison, adding a pinch of salt, and pface in the pan. About forty minutes are required to roast a saddle weighing five pounds. It should be basted frequently with its own gravy, and untied before placing on a dish. Add to the gravy in the Vi pan about a gill of white broth, letting it come to a boil. When the fat has been skimmed from this, pour the remainder over the Saddle. Any hot jelly sauce may be served with venison.

SELF-CONTROL. An Interesting Standpoint From Which to View Other’s Personal Attractions. It is interesting-, when one has had his attention called particularly to the fact, to note how often a peculiar attraction of manner which we admire in some one of our friends is identical with or dependent upon a certain sense of well-being which is the outcome of a condition of perfect self-control. And were it not incumbent upon us by the laws Of society, we should do well, out of regard to our health, to place our bodies under the; strict discipline of our wills. It is instructive in connection with this subject to notice how completely the body and its various functions may be brought under command of the will by those who will exercise the requisite patience. Muscles may be brought into action which were before unrecognized. Even the vijjjil functions of the body may be affected. There have been not a few exhibitors who could actually contol the heart-beat, making their pulses noticeably slower or faster according to their pleasure. The seemingly miraculous feats of acrobats are simply the result of continually placing particular sets of muscles under complete control of the will. And if we were disposed to profit by our investigations, we should do well to try and appreciate how important, to our physical being at least, the gaining of a complete control over our bodies may be. The student who has before him a difficult passage dr problem must, if he •would succeed, exercise sufficient willforce to place everything else in his mind second to the task before him. It is much the same in our daily life. Multitudes of pretty things tend to make us forget our purpose in living, aftid if we are to rise above them, we must remember to unburden our minds of the “worries" that we may have room for the “realities” We must shun excitemenjt of every kind. We must live an even, temperate life; and we can do this easily enough if we have gained perfect control over ourselves ,—Youth's Companion. Quite a I.in-uist, “Are you pretty well acquainted with your mother tongue?” asked a Harlem school teacher of the new boy. -■Yes sir,” answered the boy timidly, “and so is pa. Ma jaws us all the time.” —Texas Siftings Ilow It Happened. y Williamson—On Monday morning I had to drink mycoifee out of a tin cup. Henderson—How's', that? “We hired a new girl Saturday, and all the china stores were closed Sunday, you know.”—Truth. Easy EUouglL. Judge.—How do you explain yonr being found inside Major lirown’s chicken coop last night? .6 Prisoner.—Jedge, dar war chickens in de coon, sah.—Brooklyn Life.

POULTRY FARMING. It Win Pay If Uan»e«l with Wisdom and Ener*y. We have a letter before us from a /oung man who wants to go into poultry farming, and he asks the usual questions, winding up with: “Does it pay?” That question is asked a thousand times a year, and the inquirers all know that poultry farming, like any other kind of farming, will pay if managed right The evidence that it will pay, that it has paid and that it is paying now is overwhelming. It pays the man who knows how and who has the requisite energy and business ability. A prominent firm in this city has within a few years worked up a family trade in fresh eggs of nearly half a million dozen annually. It was done by looking up the men who know how to get eggs in the winter season, when fresh eggs are a luxury. A representative of the firm said to us: “We care nothing for the man who can furnish eggs only when any fool can furnish them—when uncared-for hens have a mind to lay them. We are looking for the man who can send us eggs when all his neighbors’ hens are frozen up.” They have found quite a number of these wide-awake men and are paying them good prices for their eggs. We understand they take the year's supply, winter and summer, simply to hold the winter product We referred last winter to one of those men who lives near Orrville, O. He has a few acres of land and keeps 300 hens. This grocery firm sent him 8*59.80 for hU February eggs last winter, and from March 4 to 11, one week, his fowls shelled out ISO to 158 eggs per day, just when they were bringing the tallest prices. Oh, yes, poultry-keeping pays the man who puts brains, energy, skill and the necessary capital into it ltut it must be made an all-the-year-round business. If you give the hens a vacation let it be in the summer when eggs are low and poultry not wanted. The dairyman who feeds the heads off a lot of dry cows during the winter never makes it up during the summer, and the poultryman who lets his hens manage the business as they please will soon require an assignee. The man who quietly submits to circumstances in any branch of business is the man who gets left. The man who makes circumstances is the man whc succeeds.—Ohio Farmer. FOUR-HORSE TEAM. Only Two Lines Needed for Guiding the Auliual Quartette. We illustrate- herewith a device for driving a four horse team with a single pair of lines. Take an ordinary pair of .heavy lines, the cheeks of which will

LINES FOR FOUR HORSES. guide the two middle horses. Just back of the place where the checks branch off, buckle two other checks which will guide the two outside horses of the team, passing through their hame rings in the usual way and over the back of the middle horse which is next to him. That is the checks of one line will attach to rings a a a a of the bridles and those of the other to rings b b b b so that pulling either line will turn all of the horses. The length to make the outside (extra) checks can be estimated pretty closely and they can be made longer or shorter as may be needed to work properly by means of the buckle. A single pair of lines with “jockey sticks” on the two outside horses could be used, though that is an awkward way and a rather uncomfortable arrangement for the horses.—Orange Judd Farmer. FACTS FOR FARMERS. Rushes are degraded lilies. Soapsuds are excellent manure. ' Corn can be fed cattle without shucking. The fat in a cheese determines its market value. It does not jAy to raise a calf from a poor or ordinary cow. Straw and oil cake meal form a good substitute for good hay. Cabbage not fully ripe will winter better than that matured. Cows should be allowed as much pure water as they will drink. Seedless apples are said to have been produced at Columbus, Ore. England is officially reported free of the foot-and-mouth disease. A MODERATE-sized, highly-cultivated farm is the most profitable. Cream should invariably be removed from the milk before it is sour. To make your fruit sell well, it must be carefully picked and packed. It is well to consider the mutton as first and the wool as only secondary. The strawberry will adapt itself to and bear some fruit on almost any soil. A coat of manure is one of the best mulches for anything of a tender character. „ Sheep thrive better if kept in the open air as long as the weather will permit. Milk which shows less than three per cent, of fat is not profitable for cheesemaking. Only use milk from healthy cows, and not until at least five days after calving. Milk readily absorbs odors, hence it is important that all the surroundings be pore.

STATE RANK AND PRODUCTS. Colorado is first in silver. Washington is eighth in (fold. Alaska ranks first in sealskins. Utah is third in silver and tenth in gold. Montana is fourth in silver, fifth in gold. Idaho is sixth in gold and seventh in silver. Florida is third in sugar and sixth in rice. | Minnesota is fourth in wheat, eighth in oats. Nevada is second in gold and fourth in silver. The two Dakotas lead all the states in wheat. Nebraska is eighth in corn and ninth in rye. | SovTn Carolina leads in rice, is fifth in cotton. Vermont is fourth in copper and ( seventh in hops. I Rhode Island is second in cotton and linen goods. | Wyoming is twelfth in cattle and fourteenth in gold.

Maine is fifth in buckwheat, eighth in hops, ninth in potatoes. Louisiana is first in sugar, third ir rice and seventh in cotton. THE ORIGIN OF NAMES. Stot was formerly a herd, hence the Stottards and Stoddards. Free and Freeman were once the names of manumitted slaves. Beldam represents the fuller and more euphonious Bellehommie. | Bridge, Bridger and Brigster were toll-takers at the-king's bridges, j Reynolds, Reynardson, Rankin'are descendants of Reynard, the Fox. I Block, Blocker and Blockman are the sons of men who fashioned hats. Simon gave us Sims, Simpson, Simpkins, Simeox, Simmons and Simonds. Spices is a descendant of the espieqr, or dealer who handled foreign spines. Pedder, l'edderma n, Pedman and Pedlar had fathers who carried packs. Hooper, Hopper and Bnneller came from families supported by cask making. Calvert was once a calf herd; so j also were the Calverds, Coverts and j Calvards. FARMING IN FOREIGN LANDS. Cooperative dairying is growing very rapidly in France, and there is more inclination to make butter than cheese. “JonN,” said the proud father, “I hear Jou are winning your wav at college.” ohn—“Yes, father. I won fourteen dollars vesterday on three eight-spots.”— Cleveland Plain Dealer. While, as a rule, our agriculturists are not as potent iu politics as they might be, there is no denying that the farmer with his heavy boots often has quite a pull.— Buffalo Courier. After a short season in the blacksmith’s hands many a wagon wheel knows what it is to have that tired feeling. — Buffalo Courier. We shouldn’t object so much to the man who know. >.all if he weren’t always so ready to tell us all about in—Somerville Journal.
