Ono of the most wearisome domestic tasks which fills to the housewife domg her own work In the "never ending, still beginning" wishing of dishes. It is often i real pleasure to prepare a dainty , palatable meal, a well-earned satisfaction in viewing the work Of one's bawls' in the light, sweet loaves of.whtte bread; the roast of flesh or fowl, done to a turn the perfect cake, quivering custards. But not one of these toothsome viands can be brought to pass without . the aid of various pans, spoons, cups . and- knives; all to be cleaned for per. , hap* Immediate use again. They must be washed by hands already weary. It is discouraging for few things will ■ sooner bring the tired housekeepers • spirits down to zero than a kitchen (a- i ble foil of sticky, greasy, unwashed ; dishes greeting her as she rises from din. . ner, in addition to the dishes UBcd upon , the family table. A very great help, is to wash as you • go. Have your pan with hot water and cloth handy on the table, and as fast as yon dish articles from the stove, wash | the cooking vessels. lTinsc out frying pons and kettles with very hot water to , take off the grease. Chain disli-clottis readily takes off whatever sticks to the , sides of stew pans or pots, or a common clam shell will answer the same purpose. As nearly all cooking utensils are more easily washed when warm washing as you go save* time for the dining-room work after the meal, besides setting the kitchen sooner in order. Keep several thick holders near the stove, to gave your hands (and towela) in lifting hot pans or kettles. Never take hold of these with the diah-clolh. as you wish to keep that Important article free from pot black and grease. Iiy thus doing you may set down to your meal with a sense of relief that the kitchen things are out of the way— until next time. It is certainly a great annoyance to a neat housekeeper ta find on the wood work of doors, or windows, or perhaps on the underside of the mantle shelf, long dark scratches, which reveal that some careless person has been lighting matches there. Every one who has triad it knows that these ugly marks defy soap and water, but I am told that they can be removed by cutting a lemon or aour orange in half and rubbing the cut Kill over the marks quite fur it, then < wash off with slean flannel rag dipped first in water to moisten it, tben in whiting, rub well with this rag, and then ' dry thoroughly. A piece of sand paper ' ahonid be placed conveniently near the ' match box, so that there be no excuse | for sinking matches on the wood-work. I have juil finished making my cab- ' bage and tomalo sauce and thinking per- 1 haps some of the readers of the House- I hold would like to have the receipt, I ' will give It: ' Donlaux Sauce.— Two gallons green tomatoes sliced, one dozen onions, one i ounce tumeric, one ounce celery seed, < one ounce whole alspieq, one ounce > black pepper, one ounce ginger, ono < ounce whole clovers, half pound mus- < tard seed, one and half gill salt, one and 1 half pound sugar, one gallon vinegar.

farm. Whether farmers get their rightful | abate of the farm profits • depends not : only upon their ability to work and ' plan, buf doo'upon their ability to mar- - kct what they have to sell, as well as i upon the carefulness of the wife also. ; For instaqco, the farmer maybe very I careful about feeding his cows, keeping I them clean, etc., but unless tbe house- , ' wife supplements his close attention 1 with tbe same care of the milk, cream 1 and dairy utensils, his extra work 1 1 amounts to but little. We bare now In : • our mind's eye a "farmer who receives , 1 five cents above the market price for his • batter, from' the fact that bis city cus- ' tomers found that tbe quality was the > same throughout the year, and as good , l as any to be found in market. Now this extra five cents is (11 profit, and be is en- < titled to it. 'Nor is that all the profit, | • for when onye a customer is obtained it , ' is usually for a whole season, and a mar- < 1 thus opened for other produce. In this way much time is saved in market- | ingJRnil middlemen entirely dispensed , with. It brings him in the cash and thus | enables him to buy where lie can get the ; most for his money, which is another | profiit he reaps. It is always best for a , farmer to establish a reputation for tel. , ling a good article in. order to get bis ; full share of the profit on anything he • has lo sell. Another tiling, a farmer, in < 1 order to make ready sa'c of any kind of ; 1 produce direct lo ihe customer, should 1 ; establise a reputation for hopest dcal1 ings, i never representing an article ; lo he a little better than it really is, for 1 \ confidence once lost is never regained.-— 1 Rvrrd. ' Jack Frost will be here before long; ' you will save your horse the pain of a sore month if you will always dip the ' bit in a bucket of cold water before put. : | ting it in his mouth. Tills "takes the . frost out' of the bit. If you want to ' know what would happen If you did not ; | do this, nut your tongue against the bit 1 after it has been hanging all night in a 1 zero temperature. You will not take it ' away as easily as you put it there, and when you do get loose, you will leave a ' piece of skin behind. If the bit be put iu cold water first, this will not happen. In spreading manure pver the surface | of the ground, to remain there ail the , winter, it is best to Brat plow the ground [ and then spread the manure. If Ihe . ground be not plowed, and be hard or rolling, much of the soluble matter of the manure will be dissolved and carried ] off by tbe rains. If the ground be first plowed the matter will soak iu. The following preparation applied to j , the surface, will prevent any rusting on ( plows or any other metal surfaces: Melt ■ one ounce of rosin in a gill of linseed , oil, and when hot mix with two quarts of kerosene oil. This can be kept on ' hand and applied in a moment with a . or rag to the metsi surface of any tool that is not going to be used for a i few days, preventing any rust, and saving much vexation when it is to be used again.

Remedy for Trouble. Work is your* true remedy. If mis. • fortune bits you bard, you hit soincI body else bard; pitch into something ■ with s will. There's nothing like good, ' solid, exhausting work. to cure trouble.' If you have met with losses, you don't want to lie awake and think about them. ; You want sleep — cairn, sound sleep— and - eat your dinner with an appetite. But i you can't unless you work. If you say i you don't feel li^e work, and go loafing ■ ail day to tell Tom, Dick and Harry the 1 o' your woes, you'll lie awake, ■ and keep your wife swskeby your tqs1 sing, spoil your tempcr.-and your break. ■ fast tbe next morning, and begin to- : morrow feeling ten tiroes worse than you do to-day. There -are some great troubles that only time can heal, and perhaps some that can never be healed at all; but ail ran be helped by the great' panacea, Try it if you are .afflicted.- It's not a patent medicine.

It operates kindly as well, leaving no disagreeable sequela:, and we assure you we have taken a large quantity of it with tin- most beneficial results. It will cure more complaints tbsn any nostrum in the materia medica, and comes nearer to being a "cure-all" than any drug or compound of drugs in the market.
