HOUSEHOLD MATTERS. CHICKEN OX TOAST. When you have some cold chicken, but not enough for a meal, free from skin and bones, chop fine. Put in the spider or basin a cup of cream, and mix together one tablespoon of butter and half a tablespoon of flour until smooth; when the cream conies to a boil, stir in the mixture and add a little salt and the chopped chicken. Have ready six or eight slices of crisped toast r.rranged on a platter, pour the cream and chicken over it, and serve immediately.?House icife. PLANKED SHAD.

They were then covered lightly with s'x inches of marsh ] hay. Over them was placed a slanting roof . which merely serves to protect them from I rain and snow. These cabbages are as green and fresh looking as they were the day they were taken from the field. Treated in the usual way, that is, covered with soil, the cabbages become blanched and predisposed to dccay. FEEDING YOCKO LAMBS. When for any reason, as haviog twins or natural "cusseduess," a ewe will not permit a lamb to suck, she should be put in a small pen, with sides made so that the lamb can get in or out, and held twice a day for the lamb to suck. In a few days either she will submit or the lamb will persist so strongly as to get its food in spite of the ewe's resistance. If all lails, the lamb must be fed, and this way will be found effective: A nursing bottle with a nipple, or even a small oil can witn a sponge iasieneu on toe spoui, is used, from which the lumb will take fresh cow's milk at its natural temperature. Half a pint is enough for a meal, and care is to be taken not to give any more than a natural supply. Half a pint three times a day is sufficient. In course of time a ewe may be made to adopt and foster the lamb.?New York Times. IMPORTANCE OP AVIXD BREAKS. Even where the farmer is able to build barns, stables and sheds, yet wind breaks on the northeast and northwest of the cattle yards save much discomfort to stock, and, therefore, nany dollars to the farmer.

Animals have often been chilled and killed by the east winds of winter. Store up material in temporary wind breaks for the mauure heap.?American Agriculturiit. ABOUT COW BUYING. If the average dairyman points out one or two cows he "would sell" be ' cause he has "tcomany," there is usually something wroug with them, thinks Galea Wilson. But if he permits the would-be buyer to take his choice from the herd at a fair price, he really desires to sell, and the purchaser is apt to get a good one. But before buying, especially a family cow, it is well to learn the disposition of the owner. If he can walk up to her and handle her and she has no fear, he is at least kind to his cattle, and this is a great point in favor of the sow; but if the cow needs coaxing before a hand can be put upou her, he has bad s some kind of a "circus" with her, evidence of, or resulting in, bad habits of Botnc kind. One is likely to get good cows at a farmer's vendue (if he has them), and of a poor man who desires to ? sell his only. It is a sign the cow gives poor milk if, when milked cut, the ud- 1 der collapses and feels like a wet dish- 1 rag. The greatest butter-produccrs do not show this tendency to any great de- i gree. Oftentimes, after milking, one has { to observe closely to tell whether a rich milker has really been milked or not. A ? collapsed bng is a pretty sure indication c of scrub blood.?American Dairyman. TVnY FARMEK8 SHOULD KEEP BEE9. The fact that bees arc polh-n-Ilstributors is sufficient reason why u place should [ be made for them on every farm. If kept for no other purpose than the good they do to growing crops and fruit-bearing trees and plants by spreading the pollen 5 among the blooms, these iudustrious 1 workers -would be * a valuable adjunct. Testimony is abundant and conclusive, < ; 6a\s Farm Neva, as toth-;- desirable effect | of bees upon grape vines, fruit trees, and fruit-bearing plants generally. Indeed, , one promiuent apiarist goes so far as to i insist that a few hives of bees judiciously placed will revive a fruit farm from non- , j paying to a profitable investment, r iciu , J crops, scientists tell us, and wide-awake farmers know from observation, are greatly assisted by the honey-bees' ( manipulations. Indeed, their influence s is required for the perfect floral fertiliza] ticn of some of the cereal crops and the ! ] meadow grasses. Where the fanner is * I too busy to give his personal attention to j the production of honey, it is suggested i j that he purchase a few hives and turn 1 j these over to the care of his wife and I daughters. They will find the pin money ] ; securing from the sale of the honey a ( j convenient and pleasant return for the ! labor and time spent among the bees. , | The outdoor occupation, too, will prove ! a welcome and healthful change from the , indoor drudgery, which they can afford to have done. .

The experiments covered a period of over twelve weeks at the close of which the i animals were slaughtered,the thigh-bones tested as to their breaking strength and burned to determine the quantity of ash. Omitting details, the result summarized about as follows: 1. It appears that the effect of the | bone meal and ashes was to save about one hundred and thirty pounds of com, cr twenty-eight per cent. o( the total amount fed in producing 100 pounds of gain, live weight. 2. That by feeding the bone meal the I strength of the tigh bones was doubled; I ?1 A ^ i f l\/i pom/i nffonf iftiso LUIllf piuuuucu tut saiuu vuvvb to almost the same degree. 3. There was fifty per ccnt. more ash in the bones of the hog receiving bone meal and hardwood ashes than in the 1 others. 4. No difference was perceivable in the proportion of lean to fat meat in the several carcasses. The bone meal and i ashes seemed to have no effect on the size or weight of any of the internal organ6 or weight of blood. The effect was evident only in the I building up and strengthening of tho bones and the aiding of digestion. The sxperiments point to the great value of hardwood ashes for hog feeding and show that they should be regularly fed. Bone meal sacms to build up somewhat stronger bones than ashes, but ashes do the work well enough and usually cost the farmer nothing.?New York World. SHEEP ON TIIE GENERAL FAEM. A North Dakota farmer is reported to bave gone into sheep raising about two years ago with a capital of $600. Since then he has sold $7U0 worth of wool ana $300 worth of sheep, and has 400 sheep now, for which he has been offered $3.50 each but refused to sell. "What could be more encouraging than this to farmers in *ny of the regions of this country sub jccted to frequent crop failures from I drought or other causes? The sheep j properly selected according to the climatic condition of the country in which it is to be bred, and then intelligently managed, is one of the most profitable of domesticated animals. In this country, is also in Great Britain, there is constant improvement in the character and value af sheep. During the past thirty-five rears the average weight of the fleeces produced has doubled. This is partially iue to the fact that the sheep have been better cared for in every way than formerly, and moie intelligently managed. This last with Bpecial reference to the narked and steady improvement in breeding. We would not by any means adrise farmers to sell out and go into sheep husbandry, but rather to combine that svith their other pursuits. They should aot select sheep for wool growingalone, Jut try to get a good fleece and a heavy jarcass of mutton from the 6ame animal. A.t the same time the demands of the times are for an early maturing carcass in sheep as well as in cattle, and it is found that where mutton sheep have to se fed at all with special crops the earlier ;hey are matured the less likely they are ,o "eat their heads off;" and, of course, ;he greater the net profit to be derived Tom them. An ewe that raises two ambs besides the wool clip pays her jwner 200 per cent, on the money inrested in her. Besides, this money 'nmpc in frrmi Anril to Aiismst. during a /V444Vk' * ~ 1 O ?

A good deal of our trouble with swine ;ome3 from too close in-breeding. The emedy suggests itself. Pigs should have plenty of exercise md a nice warm nest to sleep in if you vant them to be healthy. By using the garden seed drill seed i9 listributecl more evenly in the row and s covered more uniformly. It is important in the garden aa;l orchard to get the work all done in season; Waning ahead will aid in this. Mix a few radish seeds with the asparagus, rhubnrb and parsaip3, so that the iveeds will not hide the plants. If the poultry house were kept whitewashed, clean and well ventilated we ,vould have less trouble from lice. Burn over every spot that contains lead grass or dried weeds. Millions of >eeds are found under such refuge. Whin the potted plants are well grown md become heavily rooted remove them :o a larger pot or they will not thrive. The duckling will eat twice as much food as the chick, but will al90 weigh nore than twice as much in two months. Hens, when sitting on the nest, should je kept quiet and have plenty to eat and Irink, in order to obtain a good hatch. Vaseline rubbed on the comb and wattles of fowls will brighten the color tnd guard to a curtain extent against frost. Eight pounds of milk make about one gallon, but as milk varies in quality and vveiylit every gallon of milk will not weigh eight pouuds. Spinach may be sown early in the spring. Sow in drills twelve inches ipart, and thin out the young plants where they may be too thick. "When oats .are scalded at night and left until moruing they make an excellent mess for pigs. This is easier and cheaper than grinding them. If every farmer would aim to increase the yield of every acre, instead of increasing the number of acres, the expenses would be less and the receipts greater. Water in the cellar means disease in the family. It is better to fill the cellar nnd do without one than to have a foot or more of water covering the floor every spring.
