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 ® •baby. 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. CONSUMPTION CURED.

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.

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. Tj. Uver Complaint, »ys- JL w wUlCS pepsin.
