"A dish Of what took for preserves was
passed TO me, wkieh upon tasting, was sur
prised TO Learn contained no fruit. The ease
with which it Is prepared, and the trifing cost
Of its materials, are not its chief reoomm, .nda-
tons, for unless my tasting apparatus deceived
me, as it ia not unusually wont to DO i, is en-
phatically tip-top substitute for apple sauce,
apple butter tomato preserves, and all that
sort thing. lts preparation is as follows;
Moderately boil q pint of molasseB from
twenty t twenty-five minutes, according TO
its consistency, when add three eggs thorough
ly beaten, hastily stirring them in, when favor
with lemon OF nutmeg.
Bows NuTs.-Take one and a half teacup
of sugar, four teacupfuls buttermilk, Two tea
spoonfuls salaratus, two eggs, little salt, and
-four enough to form dough. Beat the eggs

half inch thick, cut into little round cakes
about an inch in diameter, put them, into a
pan OF hot lard, and take them out when nut
brown color.
6ookED CoRS.-Mr. Ellsworth has proved
that one pound Of cooked corn will make more
pork than two pounds fed in the state. The
Hoykag Farmer concluded that since II eonsid-
cradle portion OF uncooked corn will pass in
An undigcsted condition, the farmer who thus
feeds, will get very rich manure, but at too
high cost, The same conclusion applies to
the feeding of all grains and starchy vegeta-
bles.

DR.. Hartung has successfully applied ciuic
acid TO the cure OF rheumatism. 1t Is not as
