USEFUL RECIPES.

CASTLE soap, and rub into the roots
hay rum, brandy or camphor water.
This done twice a month will prove
beneficial. Brush the scalp thor
oughly twice a week. Dampen tie
hair with soft water at the toilet,
and do not use oil.
MINcE PIEs.-Take four pounds
boiled meat, one-half pound suet
four ounces cinnamon, two ounces
mace or nutmeg, one ounce cloves,
four pounds raisins, one pint molas-
ses, one quart brandy, and sugar to
make it peyy sweet To the above
add an equal weight (nearly twelve
pounds of tart apples chopped

fore baking, add tablespoonful Of
cider or vinegar to each pie.
A RELISH FOR BREAErAsr OR
LUNcn.-Take a quarter Of a pound
of good, fresh cheese; cut it up in
thin slices and put in a spider turn
ing over it a large cupful of sweet
milk; add a quarter of tablespoon
full of dry mustard, a dash of pep
per, a little salt, and piece OF but
Ter as large as a butternut; stir the
mixture all the time. Have at hand
three Boston crackers, finely pow
dered or rolled sprinkle them in
gradually; as soon as they are
stirred in, turn the contents into a
warm dish and serve.
DRIED EGGs.-Thc eggs must be
beaten to a uniform consistency and
poured In thin layers upon polished
iron plates, which are placed in a
current of hot air; the paste rapid
" dries, and must be packed in her
medically scaled cases. When re-
quired for use, the dried egg can be
dissolved in cold water and beaten
To foam like fresh eggs. 1t is
said that eggs can be preserved for
years ia this way, and that they re-
tnin their agreeable flavor to the
last.
PRESERVED ORANGE PEEL.-Clcan
carefully; cut in thin strips; stew
in water until the bitterness is ex-
tractcd; drain off the water and
stew again for half an hour in a syr-
up of sugar and water, allowing half
pint of water and a pound of sugar
20 each pound of peel. Put it aside
in jars, and keep it in a cool place
If desired, little cinnamon anil
ginger may be stcwed with the peel,
hut il is more delicate cooked sim,
ply with sugar. Lemon peel may
be prepared in the same man
ncr, either alone or mixed with or
ange peel. These form pleasant
"relishes" eaten with cake or bread,
or if chopped finely when prepared
they form excellent favoring for
pudding and pies.
a SPLENDID SroxGE CAKE
Weigh one pound OF fresh eggs in
the shell, an equal weight of pulycr-
lied white sugar. half a pound of
fine -four. Break the eggs and beat
separately the yo,ks and whites.
Always, when practicable, have one
person beat the yolks steadily the
same length of time it takes anotb-
er person TO beat the whites, until
they stand up perfectly stiff and
dry. Add the siftcd sugar gradual
" to the yolks, then mix in the
whites, Lastly, cream gently in the
-four, and be sure not to teat at all
aftcrward, or you will certainly
spoil the cake. Crate in the peel
of one lemon, aud add also its
strained juice; more if the fruit is
indifferent. Lemons are to be pre-
ferred as the seasoning for sponge
cake, but if they are not obtained,
substitute mace.
Cows usually become addicted to
kicking when hciCers, from being
MIXED by abusive mixers. have
never seen an old COW become n
kicker unless abused. Instead OF
COWS being averse to being MIXED
when giving n large quantity, I
have ever found it the reverse.
When pasturage is good, and cows
come home at night with. uddors
jiStended with milk, they seem
grateful to have it removed. Milk
ing a heifer for the first time re-
quires patience, for they will almost
Invariably kick. In such a case
rat broad strap around her body
Just front OF the uddCr, and buckle
IL up moderately tight, and as soon
as she gets quiet (for she may
dance around little at frst) take
your pail, sit down and so TO milk
ing, for she is as helpless rs kit
ten. DO not attempt to use a rope
instead Of strap, &. it viii not an
swyr. II is IS mu,h better meth
od than tying the legs, etc, as it
docs not hurt the animal in the
least. \ few applications of the
strap, with plenty of patic2ce and
kla lncss, will cure the most obsti-
late case.
