From the Kural New orkcr We cl1p
the following practical aud useful re.
ccpts:
BEAN SOUP.
Clean and wash the beans over night,
and pour on cold water next morning
put them in a pot with plenty of soft
water if soft water is not available, add
teas poonful OF soda boil haf an hour,
then pour off the water turn on fresh
hot water; to two quarts of beans add
five pounds of the lean Of fresh beef and
one pound of pork; cut up IN small
pieces season with pepper; skim as
soon as boil is reached, and keep closely
covered until done.
CHICKEN PIE.
SINCE the bpcds first; everybody
ought to know that there's nothing like
alcohol for singing poultry A table
spoonful will singe fifty pounds Set it
on fire, and proceed to SINCE not spot
of black will be produced After being
we'll cleaned, cut up into small pieces !;
wash thoroughly and let then cook for
twenty minutes in water sufficient to
cover them. Mix tablespoonful Of
flour in cold water to thin paste, and
str in the gravy !; add lump Of butter,
and season thoroughly with pepper and
salt let it cool. To make paste tax Q
equal quantities in measure Of lard aud
water, little salt; mix ; roll out thin ;
line the deep pie dish after rolling out
the top crust to half the size required,
sprcad over it butter to the depth Of one
quarter Of an inch roll up and roll out
again, and repeat the operation two or
three times put in the chicken, and put
on the top crust, and pinch the edges
well together cut a slit in the top crust.
MINCE PIE.
Boil the head and heart Of beef until
done chop tlne; to one quart Of meat
add two quarts of apples, or twice as
much apple as meat; other ingredients,
mace, cinnamon, IL few cloves, rasns,
turran,s aud ci,ron if you like; little
salt, some boiled cider and mixture Of
sugar and moasses for sweetening a
little lemon gives added flavor Put all
the ingredients over the fire and let
simmer an hour. After cool, put in the
pans and bake with moderation.
PUMPKIN PIE.
Stew the pumpkin, strain t--a fine
grained pumpkin, remember-use cream
Instead Of milk, and very little of eggs
mace or cinnamon Cor spice, or both, or
none roll the pastry very thin. A crust
can be dispensed with by sitting thin
layer Of corn meal over the oiled pie
dish; it forms sufficient frmness to no d
the "6lling" in shape when served.
INDIAN PUDDING.
One Of Miss Leslie's recipes: Melt a
pound of butter in pint Of molasses
stir a quart of boiling milk into pint of
sifted Indian meal Of medium incness
stir in the butter and molasscs cover
and let steep for an hour. After it is
allowed to become cold, stir in, gradually,
six well.beaten eggs, a tablespoonful of
mixed cinnamon, nutmeg, and the grated
peel Of a lemon. Stir the whole very
hard; put it into a buttered dish and
bake two hours. Serve up hot, and eat
with wine (?) sauce. or with butter and
molasses.
CoCoANUT PIE IMITATION.
AD imitation of cocoanut pie can be-
made by grating a raw sweet potato into
custard before baking.
BEEF CCLLoPS.
Cut the flct from the under part Of q
lump of beef into thin slices, aud broil
