The following excellent recipe ",
take from the Western Ruralist:
APPLE DUMPLINGS Take one quar-
-four, one teaspOonful soda or saiaratus
and one egg. Add pinch of salt anc
sour milk sufficient to make q mod
eratey stiff dough. Roll this out t.
the thickness of three-fourths of IN
inch and cut as for biscuit. Put then
in boiling water and let them boil fo
ten minltes-no longer, or they will fsl
and be heavy. Cook apples Is fol
sauce and spread on them in you
plate and eat with sweetened milk
Any other fruit answers in place o
apples;
CLOTH-Take of blue gals, bruised
four ounces; logwood, coperas, iror
Filings free from grease, and sumach
leaves, each one ounce. Put all bu1
the iron filings and coperas int one
quart ofgood vinegar, and set the vesse
containing them in q warm watel
bath for twenty-fOur hours, then ado
the iron Filings and shake occasional
ly for week. 1t should be kept In 8
well-corked bottle. 1t may be applied
to faded spots with soft sponge. 1t il
good, also, to restore the black color o.
leather when it turns red, the leather
being previously well cleaned with
soap and water.
To KEEP BUTTER SWEET.-It Is the
easiest thing in the world. Simply
put it in clean jars and cover with
strong brine. This will keep pure
butter a year, fresh and sweet, IS We
know by experience. 1t is equally
good to put in oak casks, headed tight
this is equivalent to canning fruit.
The brine in the case of the jar acts a.
heading, keeping the oil. out. Butter
should be made well We have never
experimental on poor butter. Work
out the buttermilk till you have only
pure beads" clear as spring water
but do not work 30 much as to break
the grain, in which case you have q
tough, heavy article in water, and
grease in summer. Such butter we
advise 10 one to try to preserve
/ HOY TO CLEAN RIBBONS.-Wett the
ribbon In alcohol, and fasten one end OF
it to something firm hold the other
in your hand, keeping the ribbon out
straight and smooth; rub it with q
piece Of CASTLE soap until 1t looks de-
cidedIy sospy, thsh RIB hard with a
sponge, or, if very much solled, with
the back of knife, keeping the ribon
wet with alcohol. When you have
exhausted your patience, and think
it must be clean, rinse thoroughly In
alcohol, fold between cloths and Iron
with a hot iron. Don't wiring the
ribon if you do you will get creases
in it that YOU cannot smooth out.
Rock CREAM.-This will be found
a very ornamental as well as . de-
licious dish for supper table. Boil q
teacupful of the best rice till quite soft
in new milk; sweeten it with powdered
loaf sugar, and pile 1t upon dish. Lay
on it in different places square Jumps
of currant jelly or preserved fruit of
any kind; beat up the white of five
eggs to a stiff froth, with q little
powdered sugar, and flavor either with
Orange-fiower water or VANILLA. Add
to this, when beaten up very stiff,
about a tablespoonful Of rich cream
and drop it over the rice, giving it the
form of q rock Of snow.
