' HOUSEHOLDSon* Pal** Kotloks About Eatiso. — , It has been an old-wires' notion from , way back that certain kinds of food must 0 be avoided because tbey tend to produce c certain kinda of disease. This notion , has been fostered by alleged physicians , ways laying down rules about living s which. If anyone undertook to follow , literally and scrupulously, would make , Hfe a burden from tbe cradle to the i grave. Bome years ago Dr. DIo Lewis, e were unhealthy, were the .cause of can- a cer, loosened and deatroyed the teetli, c etc. For generation! boys and girla had c been. warned not tv eat so toph butter „ their faoes would break out with '-butter sores." It is an old-time tradition i that buckwheat cakes are productive of t, be cursed with the itch because they cat n so much oatmeal. Dr. Jamas C. White, , Professor of Dermatology in Harvard v . Univefslty. in a recent article on cutan- b noylng traditional bubbles. lie says * that uncooked butter ii perfectly harm- u leas food so far as tbe skin it concerned, and it is difficult to conceive how any- t one thought otherwise, unless, possibly, a the use of bad butter la food otherwise , stomach and produced impure blood. . Buckwheat cakes do not produce culan- _ ed and eaten hot' with too much sirup, p they upset the digestion. Oatmeal la n perfectly harmless food, and the Idea t that tomatoes cause canncr Is rodlculous. , , Dr. White says thst tbe esling of fruits, j nuts and Ash msy lead to irritation of the , skin in certain individuals, but this individual. The notion that certain " kinds of food are detrimental to the complexlon is a false one. A good dlgest.on . and a healthy appetite will take care of the akin, and it matters little what one cats, If the stomach Is allowed to do Its work properly and furnish good mater- s la] for pure blood. Sous Buii-ls RsMtDixs.— For a sore J throat cut slices of fat. boneless bacon, pepper thickly, and tie » round the throat 1 with a flannel cloth. When stung by a ® earth and water, ' put on the place at once, and cover with a cloth. For a « cold on tbe cheat a flannel rag rung out E in boiling water and sprinkle] with tur- 1 pentine, laid on tbe chest, gives the 1 greatest relief. When a felon first be- ' gins to make Us. appearance, take a lem- r on, cut off one end, put the linger in, * and the longer it Is kept Hwre the bet- " ter. For a cough, boil one ounce of * flaxseed in a pint of water, strain and " candy, and the Juice of three lemons; u mix and boil well. Drink as hot as pot- T slble. Often after cooking a meal a per- 1 son will feel tired and have no appetite. " For thla beat a raw egg until light, stir t in a little mlik and sugar and season t! with nutmeg. Drink half an hour be- I' fore eating. For a burn or scald make h a paste ot common baking sods and v water, apply at once and cover with a " linen cloth. When the skin is broken c apply the white of an egg with a feather; b this gives Instant relief, as it keep* the air from the fleah. At tbe first signs of <' put In a pan with a quart of cold water, t! put the pan on the stone, put your flu- ll get in the pan, keep it there until the ° water begins to boll, or as long as it c»n " be borne. Repeat once or twice If acngcrs sent out to Invite poverty, dls- u ease, and an evils under the sun." Now Is the time to look over the last l' winter's wardrobe, and repair all thai (i will serve the coming season, and to * make a memorandum of what wUl be 0 needed. Clothe the children warmiv. " provide them with substantial outer gar- •' rubber boots for snot^ snd slush, 'and r

than let them live out ot doors as much at possible, even through tbe severest of wui ter days. Let tbe girls romp In the now and cold at well as the boys, or die the rising generation will "give u> uelieate giris and rugged boys. It 1* no be lees healthy than her brother, but rather an evidence of her parents' Ignorance of hygiene. Oive the girls a chance I Give them a tied and rubber boots, give them mittens and a cloak as warm as their brother's coat, and send them out to play together, and tbe boys will grow up less boorish and the girls who were trained In the old fashioned way of full liberty for the boys, and an unwholgeome restraint for their sisters. With winter comes nature's demand for beet - producing foods; with the meata. give the familv plenty of. teamed cereals, corn-meal cakes and puilBoeroa Bnows Bkxad.— We give Mrs. Cleveland's recipe: One bowl of Indian ' meal, ana bowl ot rye flour, one bowl of , ■our milk, one large cup of molasses, ; hours and bake Irom twenty minutes to , one-half hour.

Deep or shallow cultivation * seemed Introduce a.like effect. Where partial check by (Infrequent cultivation ! the stalks were rather smaller, but the ; elre nearly full sire. *We learu^ then, j that we must not cultivate loo much in a very dry time. But when a crust forms after a rain Jt should soon be broken; even If it be'lale In the season and the corn far advanced |t will pay to br%ak up this crusL . husking before it has been soaked much rain. Choose tqccars having a bright and glossy color, for thoy are generally most mature. The cob, should be sound and dry. Then place the corn where it can get thoroughly dry from heat by the stove. To select the seed and thoroughly dry it is all that is necesbut this is of great importance, for is the foundation for next year's crop. Trees set last spring will be greatly by a>uich of strawy manure, applied after the earth shall have frozen hard. It wiU prevent that repeated alternate freezing and' thawing, which is so injurious to the young root. The material should not be allowed to lie in contact with the stems of the trees, lest mice under its shelter trill gnaw the bark. A good plan would be to first blgb around the stem, -then mulch around the base of the cone. In window gardening It should be retemperature at command, from freezing to torrid. Shelves or brackets at different heights should be provided to meet the requirements of beat needed by different planta. Colcus on the windowsill will drop its leaves and go to pieces; on the top shelf It will make luxuriant growth. Other instances might be given, but care, watchfulness and a little experimenting will soon show the window gardener where each specimen will do Somebody advise* thai in saving aetd the selected ear be neither husked separated from the stalk on whicli grew, but the stalk and unliuaked ear be bung up In a dry place until the planting season shall have come round. The claim hu been advanced that seed so kept hu greater vitality, and produces vigorous plarfls than even that which is husked and afterward dried by Farmen and gardeners should gather all the bones scattered about the yards, and prepare them for use in fertheir lands There are various of -doing i this. One is to mash them with an old ax or sledge-hammer, finer tlse better, and place the broken pieces into a barrel or other vessel. Interspersed with layers of good, hardwood ttnslackcd ashes. Keep the mass moist, not allowing the or potash to e*. In a few months tbe bones will Jelly. A horse should not be allowed to freely immediately after eating. Hon. John M. Russet, ex-Secretary of Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, tells of seelng'some horses in. France fed coarse beans, then watered all they would drink and.lmmedlately killed and dissected. He observed that a considerable quantity of the beans bad been washed out of the stomach, and some of were found in the Intestines. Now is on excellent time to prepare onion plat. If the ground be not frozen. Use plenty of manure, and spread It evenly on the ground. The object is to have the rain* wuh the solusble matter into the soil, and to UTe in the spring, when It will then be only necessary to break the ground, harIt down fine and put In the onion ' I
