The Superiority of Carrots and Mangle Wurtzels as a Pood for Milk Cows Yield of an Acre of Land In Straw Dorries. There aro In this country, according to the governmont statistical bureau rejiort, 44,(112,637 head of hogs, breeding ani mals and young pigs. .. Select seed corn carefully from tho best stalks, choosing the choicest ears, and then hang them in a perfectly dry place whore they cannot freeze, A grindstone conveniently placed ready for use, leaves no excuse for working with a dull uxe or other cutting instru ment that never does good work. Mashed Potatoes : Boll a quantity of tiotatoes and pass thorn through a sieve Put them Into a saucepan with a good lump of butter, and salt to taste ; add a little milk, and work them well with a Biwon on a slow flro for a few minutes. adding small quantities of milk as it is required, until they ' get of the desired consistency. Potato Pudding; Boll four large po tatoes mid pass them through a sieve; stir into them powdered loaf sugar to taste, and the yelks of two or three eggs; add a few drops of essence of lemon, then the whites of the eggs whisked to a froth ; mix quickly and well ; pour Into a plain mould, buttered and bread-crumed, and bake for twenty minutes in a quick oven. An acre ol land will produce five or six times as many strawlx'rries, in bushels, as It will of wheat, and the prices usimlly obtained for struwlicrriea are more than three times as much as for wheat. One acre of strwlorries will bring as much profit as fifteen acres of wheat, while the cost ef raising the Btrawlerrics is propor tionately but little more than that of pro ducing wheat. An extensive apple-grower in Illinois is said to plant only half as far apart as the trees should stand iermanently, and then he brings three-fourths of thorn into liearing as soon as possible by girdling, letting them produce all they will until the permanent ones need the room. The girdled trees are then cut out and the others have all ,the needed space for growth and productiveness. Have you a good stock of carrots ami mangle wurtzels in your cellars for your milk cows? If you have you are a lucky man. If you have not, It is too late now to provide them, but tnuke your calcula tions to sow the seeds of them lllmrally the present season. Yru will never com plain that you have tx) many of such roots for your stock. Cows, oxen, horses, and sheep actually need green food in winter as much as in summer. There is no doubt whatever about the lienefits to be derived from ft well-conducted creamery, observes a Dakota far mer, not only to the farmers, but to ev ery one within the limits yf interatinns. It gives the farmer a cash market for his cream, and enables him to juy cash for supplies. It gies him an inducement to lx'ttcr his stocx. and to emnlov Ix-tlcr and more profitable methods of caring for them, in addition to many other lienellts. Cold Slaw: Put three tablesiKionfiils of vim-gar in a saucepan with a little salt and iM'pjter; kat two eggs very light and mix with a teasxKnful of sifted Hour, a teasHSHiful of butter, a teaHpoonful of sugar and a half teasoonful of ground iniiHtiird. Set the vinegar on the stove, and when it boils stir in the mixture, addiug half a cup of milk. Cook for two minutes stirring constantly. Pour the sauce over the shred cahliage and let it become cold liefore serving. Oysters a la Roulette : Put one quart of oysters in their own liquor. I!t come to a Ixiil, turn in a hot dish, strain. Put two ounces of butter in a saucepan, let heat, sprinkle in a tablespoon ful of sifted Hour, let cook one minute, stir nnd add a cupful of the oyster liquor. Take from the fire and mix in the yelks of two egus, a little salt, a very little pepper, one teiifl'Kxmful of lemon juice and one grated nutmeg. Beat well, return to the lire, heat well, but not boil. Drop in the oys ters. Dish and boil. Salad dressing for Oysters: Take the yelks nf three raw -eggs, a small table spoonful of mustard, a teaspooiiful of salt, two tahlespooufuls of white sugar, an atom of cayenne pener, a cup of oil or butter melted, a small half-cup of vin egar, the juice of a lemon. Beat tho eggs verv light with the sugar, add the mus tard salt And pepper. Mix in the butter and vinegar in small quantities alternate ly, and, just before poiiringoverthc stiliid add two cups of whipped cream. To whip cream, let it stay on the ice a few hours, then whip with an eggbeater. Potato Balls: Take half dozen pota toes, boil them, pass them , through a sieve, and work into them in a ImiwI one gill of cream and the yelks of three eggs; add pepper, salt ami nutmeg to taste, and some parsley finely chopped. When they are well mixed and smooth, take them up by tablespoonfuls, roll each in a hall, flatten it and flour it slightly. Lay them in n sauce-pan with plenty of butter melted, and cook them slowly. Turn them over when ono side is dono, and serve hot as soon us both sides ure colored. The agricultural department after caro ful investigation into the origin of hog cholera, is said to haye proven conclu sively that it, results from the use of car rion food drop ied by buzzards, while the habits of the hog ure such tliat one in a herd being attacked will soon spread the disease. ' Typhus fever in man has been traced to the use of infected meat, of ani mals slaughtered to avoid the disease. Thorough cooking of pork in affected dis tricts will alone prevent man's liability to typhus fever from that cause. Imme diate isolation of affected animals is rec-omended. Shrewd advertisers. Reader of the -newspapers of the'day cannot fall to bo Impressed with the fuet that the modern advertiser is progressive. He is compelled to bo, else competitors more active In the Invention of new ad vertising devices, will outstrip him In public favor. The value of printers' ink judiciously and scientifically employed cannot bo overestimated ; 'it is tho medium where by a meritorious discovery is raised from local fame to a position in the public es teem. Hence the columns ot the news papers are daily used by hods of adver tisers and in the competition which is in dulged in to attain the desired end, tho reader is oftentimes umused. Tho greatest of American advertisers, and It miiv ns well he said in the world, is II. II. Warner of Rochester, N. Y., whoso name has been made everywhere familiar in connection with Warner's Hufo Cure, widely advertised because of Its merit in the prevention and cure of kidney disease. By printers' ink this great discovery Iiuh achieved world-wide popularity and thousand feel grateful for the knowledge thus acquired of this greatest of modern remedies. Furthermore, tho public has been taught that disorders nf the lungs, bruin, heart and liver which have hitherto lieon regarded and treated by the profession ns distinctive diseases are not so in fact, but are the attending symptoms of disease of the kidney ; therefore, thecousumptivo, the apoplectic, tho paralytic, and the suf ferer from nervous disorders can lie re stored to health by Warner's Safe Cure, which will remove the true cause of those disorders by restoring tho kidneys to healthy action. The advertising methods employed by tbiH greatest of advertisers are invariably instructive and, although the reader may sometimes Iki "caught" in reading an advertisement, which was not at first mi xHed to lie such, there is nevertheless no time lost sim'O useful information is invariably gained concerning life's great problem.
