MoLDINEss. Preserves and jellies
may be kept from moldiness by cover
ing the surface with pulverized loaf
sugar ; thus protected they will keep for
years.-Detr0H Press.
A BUTTER stamp should always be
washed III cold salt water before it is
used. Ii soaked in hot water the but
ter will stick to it, but never if soaked
in cold brine. The sat absorbed keeps
it moist while in use.
CATsKILL APPLE PUDDING One pint
sweet milk, four eggs beaten to froth,
one teaspoonful soda. little salt, flour
enough to make stiff batter, four large
apples, chopped mix well, or, rather,
stir !; bake in deep tins serve hot, with
butter or sugar or sweetened cream.
JELLY RoLLs.-Take three eggs, one
half cup of sugar, cup of -four, tea
spoonful of soda, or, in lieu of the soda
and cream of tartar, teaspoonful and
a half of baking powder; bake in thin
cakes ; spread with jelly, and roll up
with the jelly side in 4; cut in slices
across the roll.-Couatry Gent.
APPLE PUDDING WITHOUT PASTRY. -
Pare and cut up enough apples to
weigh two pounds. Boil them and rub
through colander. Add large spoon
full of butter while they are hot, and
when cold add half a pound of crushed
white sugar, six well-beaten eggs, and
the grated rind of lemon. Pour the
mixture into deep dish and bake for
half an hour.
NoN-PoIsoNoUs Fly PAPRR.-Put one
pound quassia wood in five pounds wa
ter and let stand over night in warm
place.. The decoction is then boiled
down to about two pounds. The wood
IS afterward put in two pounds fresh
water and boiled down to one pound.
The two decoctions are mixed, one-half
to three-fourths pound sugar added
and paper passed through it, drained
and hung on lines to dry. Ordinary
unsized blotting paper is usually en-
ployed, and may have something
printed on it before saturation with the
quassia solution.
CoCoANUT CRACKNELs.-TO q quart,
good oatmeal, medium grade Chat usu-
ally known as Scotch oatmeaD, add
spoonful of sugar and of desiccated
cocoanut, or of freshly-grated cocoa
nut. Then add 81 gills of boiling wa
ter, or what will barely wet it, so that it
can be rolled out. Flour the board
well and roll to about one-ffth of an
inch thick, cut out with cake cutter,
stick a currant in the center of each,
and bake in moderate oven about 20
minutes, or until they will break readily
between the thumb and fingers. Watch
them closely, that they do not brown.
Serve them as cake.
To PRESERVE GRAPES. First, pick off
all unsound or unripe ones, and lay the
clusters in an empty room on papers
until dry, for in all packages some will
be crushed and dampen others. Then
any empty crate will do to pack them
in. First layer of grapes, then
thickness of paper, so as to exclude air
and keep them separate, then grapes
and then paper, and so no until you
have three or four layers-no more
than four. If the box is to hold more,
put in a partition to support the others
that are to be packed. We packed
hundreds of pounds thus last year, and
they kept perfectly until the middle of
March, and, had the supply not been
exhausted, they could have been kept
much longer. Cor. NeW York Tribune.
