RECIPES, ETC.
DELICIOUS COLD SLAw.-To gallon
crockful of finely shred cabbage put
one cup of sour cream, two eggs. one
half cup of vinegar and one tablespoon
full of flour well beaten together. Pour
this over the cabbage in an earthen
dish and let it cook until the eggs are
cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
This is to be eaten when cold.
ENGLISH CHEESE CAKEs.-Take two
quarts of new milk; set it as for cheese
and slowly whey it; then break it in a
mortar; put to it the yelks of three
and the whites of two eggs; sweeten to
taste; add some nutmeg and rose water;
mix the whole together; set pint OF
cream over the fire, and make it into
hasty pudding; mix all the ingredients
well together; fill your patty pans; put
them Immediately into the oven; when
they rise well up they are done.
CLEANSING SOFA CovERINGs.-H the
covers of sofas and chairs are dirty,
they may be cleansed without being
removed. by first washing them over
with warm water and soap rubbed over
them with flannel; then, before they
are dry, sponge them over with a
strong solution of salt and water, in
which a small quantity of gall has
been mixed. The windows of the
room should be opened, so as to secure
a perfect drying, and the colors and
the freshness of the articles will be
restored.
MANY farmers think that this blooded
h,,os 10 oil hmm htIor hlf
believe in well-bred cattle, sheep and
hogs, while for the capital invested,
blood makes more difference in poultry
than with the other stock that does not
| increase as fast, or breed as young.
Another thing-many farmers sell of
all of the earliest and best pullets, be-
cause they bring the most; it is poor
policy. Always keep the best for breed
| ing stock, and look out for a strong
constitution, and don't breed in too
| much.
EVERY housekeeper should have a
to turn easily, and with small kero-
sene heater for the irons, which stands
on the end of the table and costs a dol
lar, can do large ironing without ris.
| ing, and without the fearful ache OF
tired feet and back. Whether work is
done sitting or standing, she should
vary her position for a few minutes at
the end of each hour, sitting if she has
been working about the house, or get
ting into the fresh air if she has been
sewing steadily. A little rest taken so
helps wonderfully through the day.
BosroN Brown BREAD.-The ingre-
dients are Indian meal, rye flour, COM
mon molasses some cold water and
soda or baking powder. The meal
should be yellow and coarse. Take
two-thirds meal and one-third rye flour.
1t is good plan to measure both into a
sieve and sift them thoroughly together,
as this insures thorough mixing, which
is very important. Pour into the mix
ing-bow cup of molasses and three
cups of water. When measuring the
molasses do not fill the cup to the
brim, but let each cup of water run
over a little. Stir the molasses and
water till we'll mixed, and then slowly
add the meal and rye. If baking pow.
der is used, it should be mixed with the
meal-one teaspoonful of powder to
one quart of meal. If soda is used, dis.
solve one teaspoonful in very little
water before enough meal has been
stirred in to make it stiff. To bake il
properly requires two iron basins o.
equal size, capable of holding couple
of quarts apiece. Pour the dough into
one basin and invert the other over it
When the dough is just right, neither
too stiff nor too soft, it will settle grad
ually into the basin without the aid o.
the spoon. Bake one hour and hal
in a steady oven. When it is taken

more than TENN the basin, still coy
cred. Then take it out and cover will
cloth. Be careful not to set where
the wind will blow upon it, or in +:
strong draft while cooling, as either
may cause it to fall.
BRILLIANT WHITEwASH.-Take hal
bushel of good unslaked lime ant
slake it with boiling water. co yering i
during the process to keep in thu
steam; strain the liquor through a flint
sieve or strainer and add to it peck o
clean salt, previously dissolved il
warm water, three pounds of grouut
rice, ground to thin paste and stirred
dered Spanish whitening, and a pount
of clean glue, which had been previ
ously dissolved by first soaking it wei
and then hanging it over slow fire il
small kettle, within larger one fillet
with water; add five gallons of ho
water to the whole mixture; stir it wei
and let it stand for a few days covered
from dirt. The whitewash should b,
put on quite hot; for this purpose it cal
be kept in kettle on the stove. On
pint of this mixture will cover squar'
yard of surface if properly applied

according to the nature of the JOB re-
auired. The wash retains its brilliancN
for many years. There is nothing o
the kind that will compare with it
either for inside or outside walls.
