VALUABLE RECIPES.
Mis-. Mary G. West, Mobile Coun-
ty, Ala, contributes these Crumbs
for the Household " to the Register:
BAKING HAMS.
[ am going to bake q ham to-day,
and as that is, therefore, most on my
mind at present, I may as we'll tell
my lady readers how I propose do
ing it. Most persons boil ham. It
is much better baked, if baked right
Soak it for an hour in clear water,
and wipe it dry; next spread it all
over with thin batter, and then put
it into deep dish with sticks under
it to keep it out of the gravy. When
it is fully done take off the skin and
the batter crusted upon the flesh
side, and set it away to cool.
sEIDTLETz POWDERS.
One of my neighbors dropped i'll
this morning to borrow some Seid-
tletz powders. I had none at hand,
but told her how any farmers wife
might make it at a small expense,
and thus have it ready on all occa-
siOns. It is an excellent corrective
of the stomach, and, in fact, not a
bad beverage. Mix twelve drains of
powdered i som salts with twelve
scruples of powdered carbonate Of
soda, aud divide into six parts, in
blue papers Divide also into six
parts, in white papers, four drains of
Tartaric acid, in six powders; to take
the powders mix one of each paper
in two glasses and pour together.
All the proportions as above given
should be weighed out and put up
in separate parcels at the drug store,
and, after that you can buy all in
bulk, for by measuring the proper
tions in a spoon you viii ever after
be able to arrive at the quantities to
compound.
MOTHS.
This is the season in which moths
do begin TO most trouble us in our
furs and wooden goods, but their raw
ages may generally be prevented by
packing camphor among the goods.
The most agreeable preventive TO
use on wearing apparel, and as good
a one as any perhaps, is a mixture
of one ounce of cloves, one ounce of
rhubarb, and one ounce of cedar
shavings, tied up in bag, and kept
in box or drawer. If the substance
| be dry, scatter it in the folds of the
cloth, carpets, blankets or furs; if
liquid, scatter it freely in the boxes,
or on the cloth or wrapper laid over
and around it,
BOPS.
These are not insects, but some
thing good to eat One pint of milk,
three eggs, one spoonful of butter,
four spoonfuls of flour, mix well to-
gether and bake on plates, and in a
quick oven. They ought to be but
tered while hot, and put one above
another, before sent in.
BREAKFAST ROLLS.
My near neighbor, who is young
in housekeeping, has just called to
ask how [ make breakfast rolls
Pour a sufficient quantity of boiling
water off one pint of corn meal to
make thick Cruel; then let it stand
till nearly cold; then add salt and
one large spoonful of yeast; mix in
wheat -four until it is still dough;
knead it well, and then let it stand
in warm place for seven or eight
hours to rise; when light make it into
rolls, and bake one hour.
In return for the above informs o.
ton she told me how her stepmOth,
or had directed her to make
