FARM & HOME


Bee Stinqs.-On the 18th of April
last, Young man, employed near bees,
had the misfortune of being stung. L
recommended him to apply the common
soil to the wound, as described by Mr..
Gordon. and it Immediately relieved the
pain and prevented the swelling. Such
a receipt is of more value than gold, to
all who have anything to do with bees.
| formerly used common blue for bee
stings, but common soil is preferable.
Keeping Green Corn.-The following
inexpensive mode of preserving corn for
table use, after its season has passed, is
suggested by an experimenter: Dip the
cans into boiling water and let them re
main about two minutes; take them out,
and when cool, cut the corn from the
cob and dry it, just as you would dry
fruit, and when dry put it away in clean
paper sacks. By this means one may
enjoy the luxury Of green corn at any
time.
Perpetual Paste. Dissolve a teaspoon
full of alum in a quart Of warm water.
When cold, stir in as much -four as will
give it the consistency of thick cream,
being particular to break up all the
Jumps; stir in as much powdered rosin
as will lie on a dime, and throw in half
dozen cloves to give a pleasant Odor.
Have on the fire teacup of boiling wa
ter; pour the flour mixture into it, stir
ring well at the time In very few
minutes it will be Of the consistency Of
mush. Pour it into an earthen or china
vessel, let it cool, lay a cover on, and put
il in a cool place. When needed for use,
take out a portion and soften it with
warm water Paste thus made viii last
twelve months.
hitotion Frost Crystals. A very
pretty ornament for parlor table can be
prepared as follows: Dissolve 456 grains
Of nitrate Of lead in six fluid ounces Of
water If the solution is turbid, filter
through paper. Place the solution on
the table where it is intended to remain,
and drop into it 200 grains of sal ammo
MAC in long, fbrous crystals. Small
CRYSTALS of chloride of lead form and as
cend through the denser liquid, present
ing the appearance Of an ascending snow
storm. When the lead is all precipitated
the crystals Of chloride of lead begin to
descend rs a genuine miniature snow
storm, forming grotesque Masses resem-
bling winters landscape. If the yes.
sci containing the crystals is not disturbed
it often preserves its beauty for a week or
two.
10 MIL Uine-Boil in wineglassful
and a half Of water, a quarter of an
ounce Of spice, cinnamon, ginger and
cloves, with three ounces of fine sugar,
TIL they form thick syrup. Pour in a
pint of port wine and stir it gently until
it is on the point of boiling, but do not let
il boil, and then serve. A little orange
peel cut very thin gives this beverage
the flavor of bishop. In France claret
takes the place Of port. Sherry or very
fine raisin or ginger wine prepared as
above, and stirred hot to the well-beaten
yolk Of four eggs, will be very good.
This is IN excellent French recipe.
Gblet Soup-Scald and clean three
or four sets of goose or duck giblets;

salt. Put five pints of water, and sim
mer till the gizzards are tender; skim it,
and thicken; boil a few minutes, and
serve with the giblets. Sherry or Ma
deira, two glasses, and cayenne pepper
may be added.
.Sieaced Oysters. Beard and rinse the
oysters in their own liquor, which should
then be strained and thickened with -four
butter, and placed with the oysters in a
saucepan; add mace, lemon peel cut into
threads, and some white pepper, whole.
These ingredients must be confined in n
piece of muslin. The stew must simmer
only. Serve with sippets of bread.
10 Make Orange Pufs.-Pare off the
rinds from Seville oranges, then rub
them with salt, let them lie twenty-four
hours in water, boil them III four changes
Of water, make the first salt, drain and
beat them to pulp, bruise in the pieces
OF all that are pared, make it very sweet
with loaf sugar, and boil it till it becomes
thick; let it stand till cold, and then put
1t i'll the paste.
To Cook Kjppered Salmon for Break
fdst.-Have ready a well-heated gridiron
the bars of which should be creased
and a nice, clear fire; cut the salmon
