We shall in each number devote portion
of our space to this head. If our numerous
readers have good receipts will they not let
us have them.
WINTER SALAD
Two large potatoes, passed through the kitch-
en- seive, 80
Unwonted softness to the salad give
OF morlent mustard add single spoon,--
Distrust the condiment that bites SO soon;
But deem it not, thou man of herbs, fault
TO add double quantity of SALT
Three times the spoon with oil of Lucca crown
And once with vinegar procured from town,
True flavor needs it, and your poet begs
The pounded yellow of two well boiled eggs,
Let onion atoms Turk within the bowl,
And, scarce suspected, animate the whole,
And lastly, on the favored compound toss
A magic tea spoon of anchory sauce;
Then, though green turtle fail, though ven
ison's tough,
And ham and turkey are not boiled enough
Screnely full of epicure may say
Fate cannot harm me- have dined to-day.
REcIpE.-Mr. F. Pound, of Bullitt county,
KY, gives the following recipe as cure for
poll evil, fistula, warts and corns :--3 gills
alcohol, ounce aquafortis, l ounce spirits
turpentine, ounce corrosive sublimate,
ounce camphor, l viol oil Of spike, ono ounce
CASTLE soap. Mix together in strong bottle,
and shake well before using. Wash the af
day, and apply the above preparation until it
is cured.
CHAFING UNDER THE CoILAR.-A gentle
man who has tried the plan successfully for
five years, communicates the annexed method
of preventing horses from chatting under the
collar. He says he gets piece OF leather,
and has what he terms a false collar made,
which is simply piece of leather cut in such
shape as to lie snugly between the shoulders
of the horse and the collar This tends off
all the friction, as the collar slips and moves
on the leather, and not on the shoulders of
the horse. Chatting is caused by friction /;
hence, you see, the thing is entirely plausible.
Some men put pads or sheep skins under the
collar; these, they say, do as much hurt as
good, for they augment the heat. a single
piece Of leather, like that composing the out
side of collar, without any lining or stufiing,
he assures us, is better than anything else
