Mutton broth 13 one of the most strengthening and nourishing forms of food for the invalid. Unless made from a very good quality of muttoiA, of not too strong a. flavour, it will be impossible to produce a broth at all suitable for a sick person- If a tea-spoonful of lemon juice is added to boiling xies it will not only whiten the grains, bèlt will give them 3 more pleasant flavour. WEEN Mrxrva IIUSTAILD. I Add a little drop of salad oil to mustard when it is being made. Not only will it im- prove the taste, but it will keep it fresh for days. ISAVES GAS. t A piece of sheet-iron the size of the top j of the stove will cost but a few pence, and -will effect a great saving in gas, as two-or three saucepans can be kept simiaering with only one jet alight. CRACKED DIOHES. I If cracked dishes are boiled in enough milk to cover them for about forty-live -minute the cracks will glue together and bcccm inviÚhle, and the dishes will Stand almost as much usage as when new. J GAS-MANTLE HINT. ] Don't throw away an upright mantle when it is dene for, but place tp-e now oi! over it. Apply a match to burn off the .stiffening, and, instead of putting it out at once, let the gas burn for about five minutes without •putting en the globe.. A much better light is obtained, and the life of tho now mautle w considerably lengthened. WATERED MILK. I In order to detect watered or "chalked" milk, dip a knitting needle in the bottle for a few seconds. If the xulk forjeui! in a laj-ge drop at the bottom of the needle it is pure; if watered, it will run down quickly and drop in several small drops. BITS AV.GUT BACON. 1 Do not wash the pan immediately after trying bacon, or the fat which coats the pan will bo wasted. The greasy pan can be used for f vying cooked haricots or sliced cold potatoes. The rind of bacon should l>e re- moved before cooking, and should be tried %o melt the fat from it. The rind should afterwards be added to vegetable stock or soup to give flavour. Bones from bacon should be added to the stock-p»t or soup- pan, < —— ■CLEANING ALUMINIVK ARTICLES. I Alumiiiium is coming more,and more into favour for kitchen ware, and is worth' pro- tecting against iiij urious washing. Soda, and powders containing Hxh, should never be 'Ex p ori- tried for washing tain material. Experi- ments have proved that they cause such severe corrosion that the article soon wised. Furthermore, dirt and grease v. I *dhere to the corroded surface, making tho- rough cieaiidiug impossible. Soap alone is »<*t always eufaeieut; a more effective dis- solvent is needed. Borax has 'no bad effect or. the surfa«> of aluminium, and it can bo I relied on to deal with the grease effectively. FAT FROM MEAT. I In bailing meats, take the fat from the tap of water and save for cooking or tasking sonp. In the roasting 01 meats the grease out of the pan, or dip it out before it g-ts burned- It will be excellent for iii-r! in cooking, but if it stays till the ri<,at is done it v/ill be .sure to have a turned, unpleasant flavour. 1 SOME USEFUL RECIPES. I I CAULIFLOWER AN r> CIIEKSK.—Ta^e one cauliflower, bailing water, salt and pepper, two ouuoes of cheese, one ounce of ilour, -one ounce of butter, half a pint of milk. Clean the cauliflower well.

To CURE STAMMERING. Stammering can be lessened and in many cases quite cured by a settled determination to speak slo>viy af,d deliberately. Always do this when in company, aud also whetr alone. Cultiyate the habit of reciting or holding imaginary conversation in a very 6U»w. calm, deliberate way.

Next bend the'arn'M j very gently at the elbow, bringing the fists upwards till they reach the shoulderc. | Count twelve, and gradually extend the arms downwards until they stretch at full length beside your chair. Now relax and count twelve. When this exercise has been repeated a dozen or more times, autf very slowly, the aching sensation will be entirely cooq««red.

Spiraea.—This is a suitable time to lift., divide, and plant astilbo or spiraea roots. The plants thrive best in moist soil, prefer- ably in a position with some shade during the middle of the day. The flower spikes vary in height from lft. to 2ft. A selection of sorts should include compaeta W.- E Gladstone, astilboicLes Queen Alexandra, Peach Blossom, and Palmatum. Sweet Peas.—These are incst popular of all hardy annual flowers, and the best are those grown from autumn sown seeds, though a second sowing in spring is de- sirable to prolong' the flowering season. If circumstances and conditions permit, sow a selection of sorts out of doors; seeds may be obtained now. Sow others, especially those of which few weeds ure available, undfer glass, in a frame or greenhouse. Vigorous Growths on Roses.—Some varie- ties of the so-called dwarf roses are noted for their vigorous growths, which frequently attain a length of 6ft. or more. To leave these long straggling shoots unsupported all winter is to expose them to injury from wind, etc., while they are often in the way of ether work. It is wise to reduce them by from one-third to one-half their length. SO:Ð() object to this shortening back for fear I of injury from early frcsts. If cut back at rnoe the severed part 'heals quickly and no danger exists. Another method of dealing I with them consists in placing a number o.f Hakes close to the bushes hud securing the long growths thereto by" means of several ti-es. # Pent.item-on.-Na-n,ed sorts and the best of the seedling penbstemon can be freely oropagated by cuttings in autumn. Prepare a bed of well-drained fundy soil in a cold frame. Make it firm and level with p. thin layer of sand on the surface to trickle in ihe holes when dibbling in the cuttings about 2in, apart. Water them as soon as in- serte d to prevent flagging., and keep' the frame closed until rooting begins. Planting ilorello Cherries.-Thcse can be grown in what to many fruits would be an unfavourable situation. On a north wall -j this cherry is quite satisfactory, and with t proper attention will give abundant cropd. It is not so generally recognised that it can also be grown as a small half-standard in the open. Lune rubble or other materials needed at planting time. for these trees should now be got in readiness, Lata Grapes.—While it ? desirable that a rather dry atmosphere should be maintained where ripe .gnpes are hanging it is not •; 'always ??ible b avoid getting te mois- ture when plants must be grown in the same house. Cut back pait of the laterals to let in all the light possible, &o that the sun can get in and help .to dry up the air. Water .V early in the day, and allow the house to be- como quite dry before night. Use as little water as you can during dull weather. j'j # 4 Lifting and Storing Beet.—This vegetab le ] Is generally lifted in early autumn before., frost comes, rt is necessary, to be; Vnv caleful in the matter of lifting., as the rooks .tuickly "bleed" if injured, with the result that when boiled they arc .devoid of colour. The foliage should bo twisted off-not cut; this allows lin. or so of the teaf-stalks tOI remain. Rubbing must be avoided, there. I fore chocse a line day for work and leave. the roots on the ground for several hour* to dry, when any soil adhering to them will roine away easily. If the quantity grown is 3nu\ir, a tea chest will l)e found excellent in wil fouri d which to store them but place sand between e.ach layer. Otherwise store in «and in a hap on the 'ground in any place which ias. dry and froat-proof.. dry and fro?ot-proof. The Week's Work.—The small feathery blossoms of gypsophila elogans should be much more largely grown to cut and asso- ciate in vases and bouquets with popular border flowers. Sow seedo now in company with bulbs of English and Spanish irises; the effect when.' they are all in bloom is delightful. As a permanent evergreen' edg- inc "to borders for by no* means favourable positions in town and suburban gardens, London Pride has few rivals. October is a suitable season to lift and pull the clumps to pieces. Tufts with a few roots attached soon, take fresh root in. practically an soils and positions except dense shade. It will be found a good plan at this time of yr to look over young bush apple trees and re- move superfluous growths. When the foliage is on tne trees it is easier to see which shoots can best be discarded. Cross branches cyin be cut-away, and there need be no fear af damage. One of the fir.t considerations- iV friiit tree planting is that of properly draining the soil. Neglect of this is fre- quently the cause of fungoid troubles, thef most troublesome being that -known as canker. The matter v deserves attentioh whore trees have becu plantea wither first draining the land. any varieties of broccoli' are now forming heads, therefore keep a sharp k>ok-out fÇJt vermin. lit. some districts rot* and mice cause trouble, á single visit from these being sufficient to spoil the appearance of a well-grown head". If the .latest rows, of peas are free from mildew, do not be over anxious to remove the haulm*. Several of the. late varieties make a second growth about new, and, given favourable weather will produce delicious peas for another month. On no account allow rows of winter onions to be over- crowded. tJse the D-itch h, freely between I the plants, but avoid disturbing the roota; even the most backward plants must nojt b<3 forced into more rapid growth by the use of- Ii ill stimulant. 0. Lettuce.—Fill the frame with half-grown plants of a-good cabbage variety of lettuce,, providing rich soil for the plants. En- courage quick Kiot action by frequent watering with tepid water, and" after new growth is made remove the "light'éch day until fog or lzkhhood of frost renders a covering of ome kind desirable. Late-Sown Turnips.—The sLowery weather has tempted many to make late sowings of these. If such are to be profitable to tho grower the hoe should be freely used be- tween the rows,, and a good fertiliser may with advantage be scattered between. the i plants*

¡ [AMMUNITION TRAIN BLOWN UP" Thursday night's report on aviation states — Flying, operations on October 2 were handi- capped by clouds and rain, but. many recon- naissances were carried out, and a good deal of observation for pur artillery was accom- plisbed. In the course of the day forty-three tons of bombs were dropped on selected target s behind the German lines. A concentrated attack was 2iitle on the run- way junction at Aulnoy, in the course of which an ammunition train was blpwn up and rolling stock set on fire. Aerial photographs show that great damage has been done and much drs- crganisation caused to this centre of enemy communication. Lille and Valenciennes stations, as well ss many targets in the battle area, were also heavily bombed. In air fighting fifteen hostile machines were' destroyed and five driven down out of con- trol, Another hostile machine, was driven dovn and compelled to land in our lines. Nine Ger- man balloons were shot down in flames. Eight of our machines, are missing. One of the machines reporida6 missing on October 2, ha-3 now returned. At night the weather made flying almost impossible, but before dawn one of our squad- rons succeeded in dropping a ton "of bombs behind the German lines. All the machines returned safely.
