In making these most palatable cakes,

rosln. six pounds English rcd and
twelve pounds brick dust. Boil these
Ingredients and mix them thoroughly;
then add about one e-fOurLh tho volume
Of oil Of turpentine, or enough to flow

roll out, wasr over with milk, put on
sugar, then bake. Do not imagine there

baking powder. All bakers use harts-
horn Instead.
GREEN PEA SoUP.-Boll until tender
one pint Of shelled peas In just water
enough to cook them; remove from the
fire and mash very fine; then mix thor
oughly with two pints of sweet milk,

and salt to suit the taste, and, when

RICE PUDDING WITHOUT EaGs.--A
little less than one teacup of rice in one
quart of rich milk. Add one teacup of
sugar, One-half teaspoon Of salt and
little grated nutmeg. Bake two hours,
or until tho rice Is soft. The pudding
should be stirred frequently while boil

Moro milk can be added If the pudding
seems too dry while baking. Best eaten
cold.
CABBAGE Worms. Hot water thrown
upon the plants will kill the cabbage
worm. BE careful that 1t is not hot

parts Of fresh air slaked lime, II small
handful Of which should be scattered
over each head.
TREATMENT OF Ls.--Boils should
be brought to head by warm poultices
ofoamOmtle flowers or boiled white lily
root, or onion root by fermentation
with hot water, or by stimulating plas-
ters. When ripe they should be de-
stroyed by needle or a lancet, but this
should not be attempted until thoy are
fully proved.

and break between each bean, wash
