Valuable Recipes.

10 DESTROY THE CUCUMBER
BUG.-A strong solution OF hen
house Danure--Say one peck of
the manure to one and a half gal
Ions of water; let it stand tweBty-
four hours, and sprinkle the
plants freely with it after sunset.
OYSTERS KETCHUP.-Wash
some fine fresh oysters in their
own liquor; skim the latter and
then pound the oysters in mortar
To half a pint of oysters add half
pint of sherry; boil up; add half
an ounce of salt, a drachm of
pounded mace, and half that guam
tity of cayenne. just let it boil
up again, skim, and rub through
a sieve. When cold, bottle it,
cork up we'll, and seal down.
QUAsSIA AS A DRESSING FOR
WOUNDS AND ULCERs.-Mr.
Charles G hutchinson, Assis-
tant-Surgeon r. N, calls atten-
ton to the use of infusion of
quassia as dressing for open
wounds and ulcers in hot climaIes,
or during the prevalence of hot
weather. Flies cannot, he says,
bear the smell of the wood. Mag.
gots arc, therefore entirely
avoided.
To MAKE HARD SoAP.-Take
six pounds of sal soda anG three
pounds of unslacked lime; boil
them i'll four gallons Of solg water.
place the kettle off the fire to
settle; melt the grease in another
kettle, and pour on the I've care
fully, so that none of the settings
will mingle with it. Add quarter
of pound OF borax and q pant of
glycerine. Boil until as thick as
molasses or honey. Stir all the
time lest it burn on the kettle; per-
fume with oil of orange flowers or
burgamot, etc. Turn it INFO a pan
to harden, then cut into squares,
or if preferred, turn into tins.
This makes very nice soap for
the hands and toilet.
BREAD PUDDING.-Soak one
pin; and a half of bread crumbs in
one pint and a half of milk for an
hour, and squeeze with the hands;
place in a bowl and mix with it
three tablespoonful of sugar, four
ounces of raisins, four ounces of
melted butter, four yelks of eggs,
one ounce of citron; then beat the
four whites of eggs to stiff
frotb, and mix with the rest.
Grease mould or dish well with
butter. dust with bread crumbs
turn the mixture in and bake.
The mould must not be more
than two-thirds full. Fake forty
minutes. Serve with hot or cold
sauce. This is a most delicious
pudding.
