piece Of butter and a spoonful or two of
white sugar. Crate few bits of stale

when it has boiled again one minute take
it off.
Lemon 1ce.-One pint of rich lemonade
with little grated rind of lemon in it.
1t must be very sweet, as it loses much
in freezing. Add the whites of three
eggs cut to stiff froth. Freeze like ice
cream. The juices Of any fruit, with su-
gar and water added, may be prepared in
the same way.
! Root Beer.-Take quantity of sarsapa.
rilla roots and sassafras bark and some
hops and boil till the strength is extracted.
To three gallons of the liquor, after it is
strained, add one quart Of molasses and
quart Of yeast. After standing IN a
warm place eight or ten hours, strain
again and bottle. 1t will be fit for use
the following day.
Sweet Green Tomato Pickles.-Wasl,,
remove any imperfections, weigh out
eight pounds. chop fine, add four pounds
OF white or light brown sugar; boil slow
| ly for three hours: then add q quart of
vinegar and desscrtspoonful each of
ground cinnamon and cloves. Boil flf-
teen or twenty minutes longer, and when
cool, put into bottles or jars.
Chicken Salad.-Boil a large-sizetl
spring chicken about two hours; let it
get cold; then remove all the skin and
fat; then chop not quite as fine as mince-
meat; have the same quantity of chopped
celery and the yolks Of four boiled eggs

vinegar, and pepper and salt to taste
then mix the whole nicely together, and
place on platter, and trim the edges Of
tho platter with the incest of the celery
leaves.
Too Old Cream.--lt, wnen pan Ii
taken down to lc skinned, there is found
a thin layer of whey under the cream, ,ant
under that thick, sour milk, the hope OF
making good, sweet butter from that
cream may as we'll he given up, for it i.
next to an impossibiliy. If such cream
could lie churncd Immediately, and I'M
der the most favorable conditions, it j,
possible to make fair quality of butter
for immediate use, but as rule sucf
cream had better be kept out Of the cream
liar. Cream taken from sour milk, which
has progressed so far in fermentation al
to seperate its whey, will always, invaria
bly,, give strong, chcesy flavor to tbt
butter made from it. Good cheese is gooC
in its place, but most persons prefer t
have their butter and cheese in separate
packages.
