the sugar / part of its weight of Stacked
lime, and heating the whole to AS or
165 deg, and allowing it to macerate
for several days, with frequent shaking;
then let it settle, and pour off the clear
liquid and it is ready for use. This is
equal to the prepared glue sold for
scrap-book use, and only costs from one
to two cents per bottle.
WELL MADE "hasty pudding" a.
the New Englanders call c0rn-meal
mush, is dish fit for q king, but it
cannot be made hastily. 1t should cook
in double boiler for at least two
hours; and four is better. The granu-
lated meal is much the best; it should
be scattered rather slowly into boiling
water, and not made too thick. It
should he of consistency to pour
readily from the boiler. A very pleas
ant change is secured by using half rye
and half Indian meal. For this the
meal should be mixed to q smooth
paste with cold water first, and then
stirred into boiling water.-Ars. dead,
