Household Department
Field, Garden and Fireside.
To our Friends:— Once more, will oar friends,
the Farmers, Gardeners, Fruit growers and
their wives and daughters show a little interest
in this department and make it fresh and lively
by sending us scraps of their individual expe
riences? Questions, comments, suggestions,
glimpses into their home life with its struggles,
pleasures, failures and successes, any odd or
curious incident, that occurs on the farm, in
the kitchen, around the fireside, or in the neigh
borhood, any hint as to farm, fruit or flower
oulture, home adornment, household industry,
cookery, housekeeping, amusement or instruc
tion of children—anything of this kind will be
gladly accepted, ‘fixed up'—if asked —and put
in this column to give it that fresh personal in
terest that we like. We don’t want a cnt-and-
dried scissored department, but one that is like
a merry-go-round chat about a country wood
fire, where all hands have their say, and nobody
keeps the floor for any length of time; where
grandpa records his cropping experience of last
year, and what he thinks of home-made fertil
izers versus guano and phosphates; and grand
ma shows her new quilt or rug pattern, and
mama, as she gets the baby to sleep, tells what
it is makes her pickles so firm and clear, and
why her apple juice refused to jelly and tells of
some experiments sho made in doing up laces,
or in putting up fruits and vegetables, or in the
dressing or management of baby, while the head
of the lamily peels a fine apple from the basket
ful beside him and tells how superior it is to
the tough Shockley, and gives bis ideas about
fruit trees and grape vines or tells the plan of
his rat-proof barn, or improved stable that he
thinks of putting up. Meantime, the daughter
of the bouse is embroidering a flannel sack for
the baby. There are others in her bureau
drawer together with crocheted shawls which
she will sell to get a little pin-money for Christ
mas, nnn in the drawer just beneath, locked up
away from the peeping eyes of little brothers
and sisters, are the cheap and pretty things her
ingenious bands have manufactured as Christ
mas presents for friends and for the dear kin of
the home circle. Perhaps there is an embroid
ered cravat, or a cigar holder, or shaving case,
for somebody who is ‘less than kin, but more
than kind.’ Let her tell us about all this
pretty handiwork and about her flowers and
hanging-baskets and her little brother’s chicken
raising; or, if she has a genius for cooking, give
us her recipe for good corn bread, or apple pie,
or sponge cake. Or let her tell us how she
made her old cloak over good as new, or turned
her last winter's cashmere into a handsome suit
for this season with Demorest's patterns and her
own ingenuity. Remember, we shall look for
our friends of the country to help out our Home
Department. We have too little time to bestow
upon it, what with writing stories and editori
als, getting up society news, condensing gen
eral news, looking through piles of exchanges,
reading and revising manuscripts, answering
correspondents, correcting the proof of a dezen
or more printers - all at your elbow at once.
However one's heart may be in the country, in
the fields and gardens or around the crackling,
cheery fires of country homes, yet this newspa
per work takes up time and tbonght, and so we
ask as a special favor ot our friends that they
make this column lively and interesting by
their letters, recipes and suggestions. *
Hints for the Farm, Garden,
and Fireside.
Chh.i}ben’s Cake.—Mix well two pounds of
flour in one pint of warm milk, add a table-
spoonful of yeast, let it rise about half an hour;
then add half a pound of treacle, half pound of
brown sugar, quarter of a pound of raisins
stoned and chopped, two ounces of candied peel
shred fine, and a quarter of a pound of good,
fresh beef drippiDg; beat the mixture well for a
quarter of an hour, and bake in a moderate
oven.
Meat soaked or boiled in water loses more or
less of its soluble portion, and included in this
are its nutritive salts Roasted meat, on this
account, is of higher valne than boiled. In the
process of salting, a portion, some authorities
put it as high as fifteen per cent., of the natri-
tive juice escapes into the brine.
Potato Beead—One quart of flour, four eggs,
four good-sized Irish potatoes, boiled, mashed
and strained through a colander; two ounces of
butter, as much yeast as is needed to make it
rise. To be made up with water, not so stiff as
light bread dough. Bake in a loaf or rolls.
Confederate Sponge Cake.-One cupful white
sugar, three cupfals sifted flour,one-half cupful
cold water, three eggs, one teaspoonful yeast
powder in the flour; flavor to the taste. Mix
yolks and sugar, then add the water after the
whites (beaten to a stiff froth first), then the
flour.
Meat Loaf.—Chop fine whatever cold meat
you may have, fat and lean together; add pep
per and salt, one finely chopped onion, two
slices of bread which have been soaked in milk,
and one egg. Mix well together and bake in a
form. This makes an admirable tea or break
fast dish.
Cheap Chbistmas Gifts.—Now, in these long
winter evenings, is the time to make little orna
ments for yonr parlor or conveniences for the
toilet. And you can now make up a number of
pretty and cheap things as holiday gifts for
your friends.
Pretty frames can be made of card-board or
namented with spatter work. Cut out your
frame in any fancy manner you like, having
points, stars or scollops at each of the four cor
ners. Pm it securely to a table covered with an
old cloth. Then pin op the frame small ferns
or leaves, driving the pins straight through into
the table a little. Hold over them a fine toothed
comb. Dip lightly in black ink an old tooth
brush, and draw it over the comb, causing a
fine spatter of ink to fall. When as dark as you
faney its being, remove the ferns and leaves
with careful hand, and you will be delighted
with the result of your labor.
Cases for holding shaving paper can be orna
mented in the same manner. Cut the case from
card-board in the shape cf a large leaf, pin on
your ferns, and spatter. The paper of white or
colored tissue must be cut out of the same shape,
and fastened between the two large card-board
leaves at the top. A ribbon loop must be added
by which to hang it. Other shapes, stars,hearts,
squares and scollops may be designed.
common earthen flower-pot can be made
very pretty by glueing on it scrap-book pic
tures, and then varni:shing the whole with white
varnish. Bay a pretty flower, or beg one, and
slip into it. and you have a nice gift for sorne-
k°Doils for very little folks can be easily made
of cotton-batting. Have a small roll of paper
for a foundation. Cat a frock from the wadding
and sew it os the paper at the top, ornamenting
the bottom of the little skirt with a chain-stioh
of bright worsted. A little shawl and hood also
worked in ohainstich ccme next. Draw the
hood at the back. Roll np a small piece of
wadding for the body and head. Sew on black
beads for the eyes, and work the nose and mouth
in Hack or red worsted. Then sew on the shawl
And hood, and make a little bow of worsted for
the neck. 2?hi* ‘»ow do11 / P leas ®

For tidies, mats, rugs and table covers there
are many kinds of canvas, among which are the
Japanese, Bnrlap, worsted, Ida linen, and rail
road canvas.
Hap-hazabd Farming.-Hap-hazard farming,
without definite plan or purpose, will not pay
in this country to-day. The farmer must needs
be a cultivator of the soil and a manufacturer
of grain and roots, batter and cheese, meats and
fruits, out of the raw materials of air and soil
and fertilizer; he must be a business man, to
know when to buy and when and how to sell;
he requires to be a student of Nature and its
manifestations; in fine,he requires all that sound
mind and healthy body can do for him, as well
as all that can be learned through comparisons,
discussions and conferences v« i h his fellow work
ers in the same field of labor.
Tree stumps, says the Prairie Farmer, are easi
ly removed by boring a two-inch hole eighteen
inches deep into the stamp. Fill with a con
centrated solution of saltpeter, and plug up to
keep out water. By spring,it will have permeat
ed every part. Then fill the whole with kero-
scene,set on fire and the whole stump, it is said,
will be consumed, even to the roots. It would
seem to be feasible, and it is certainly an easy
way to get rid of stumps. The ashes will remain
to fertilize the soil.
Alabama cotton raisers are introducing Eng
lish sparrows on their plantations, in the hope
that they will prove effectual destroyers of the
cotton worm.
Through the generosity and thoughtfulness
of some of the horticulturists of North field, Wake
field, Hanover, Essex, Marshfield, NewtOD, Wey
mouth, Berlin and Pepperell,hundreds of bush
els of apples have had free distribution among
the poor in Boston. Such charities between
country and city are productive of happy effects.
Your garden beds, lawns and borders, planted
now with hyacinths, tulips, crocus and lillies,
will be fragrant and beautiful in early spring.
Their delightful odor, brilliancy of color and
distinct shades, produce pictures of beauty and
pleasure. Their culture is very simple and their
cost most inexpensive.
Tulips will flourish in any good garden soil.
Plant during October and November. Before
planting any bulbs in the autumn, see that the
drainage is good. In planting,cover the bulbs
three inches deep, setting the early kinds five
inches apart and late varieties six.
Tbeat The Cows Kindly. —Treat the cows you
milk with the greatest gentleness. Never bawl
at or kick or strike a cow. If cows are treated
kindly, they will readily yield their milk. If
abused, they will hold it up. Most cows are ru
ined when heifers. Some rough, passionate
man undertakes to break them to milk. Give
cows warm stabling in winter and regular food.
Vary their food occasionally; give roots, turnip-
tops, corn, oats, or cotton se6d, with the regular
feed of bran. If given warm stables, tbeir sys
tem do not require so much food in winter to
keep np the animal heat, and they will give
more milk therefor.

IVhat is Portaline?
This question is thus briefly and truthfully
answered. Portaline, or Tabler’s Vegetable Liv
er Powder, derives its name from the fact that it
regulates those portals of the body through
which the most dangerous diseases make their
entrance into the human system. Simple roots
and herbs, for which we are indebted to bounti
ful nature, have been scientifically combined,
and presented as a cure to all suffering with
Constipation, Biliousness, Dyspepsia, and all
diseases arising from a torpid liver. Price 50

DU. M. W. CASE’S
LIVER REMEDY
AND
BLOOD PURIFIER
TONIC A CORDIAL.
This is not a patent medicine, but is prepared
tinder the direction of Dr. M. W. Case, from his
favorite prescription, which in an extensive
practice of over 27 years, he has found most
effective in all cases of disordered liver or im
pure blood. It is
ANTI-BILIOUS.
It acts directly upon the liver, restoring it,
when diseased, to its normal condition, and in
regulating theactivity of this great gland every
other organ of the system is benefited. In
Blood Diseases it has no equal as a purifier. It
improves digestion and assists nature to elimi
nate all impurities from the system, and while
it is the cheapest medicine in the market it is
also superior to all known remedies. While it
is more effectual than Blue Mass,it is mild and
perfectly safe, containing nothing that can in
the slightest degree injure the system. It does
not sicken or give pain, neither iloes it weaken
the pationt nor leave the system constipated,
as most other medicines do.
