To REMOVE SUNBURN.-Milk of
almonds, obtained at the druggists, is
as good as any thing to use, and to
keep wrinkles out of the face use tepid
water instead of cold; if the wrinkles
are deep seated apply little turpentine
to the wrinkles for few nights before
retiring. Some ladies use q patch of
court-plaster for the wrinkles, which
soon eradicates these emblems of care
and age.
PLANTING STRAwBERRIEs.-Colonel
Charles Miller of Geneva, N. Y, at
taches great importance to securing q
strong succession of plants from run.
Ders, taken from the best one-year
plants. He would never employ run.
ners from older ones. He has now pur.
sued this practice for about seven years,
and his luxuriant and productive beds
show his success, plants set from potted
runners less than q year previously in q
deep, rich, well prepared bed of earth,
affordiDg stools often measuring 16
inches in diameter, a. found by an ex-
animation Of his beds.
MUFFINs.-Beat 1 teacup of butter
and Of sugar to q stiff cream; beat
eggs very light-yelks and whites sepa-
rately-and beat them into the sugar
and butter until quite light. To4quarts
of flour put half teaspoonful of salt.
Pour into the middle of the flour cup
OF good homemade yeast, or whatever
yeast you are accustomed to use-as
much as you usually take for 4 quarts of
-four; then stir in the sugar, butter, and
eggs, with quarts Of sweet milk. Let
it rise over night, and bake in well but
tered muffin-risers in the morning.
Sailing Down GREEN Corn AND
BEANs.-Cut the corn from the cobs
without cooking. Have an earthen pot
ready; first put in thin layer of corn,
then q layer of salt, and so on alternate.
ly until the pot is full. Then cover with
q plate pressed down so that the brine
will cover it and exclude all air. Be-
fore the corn is used it will require to
be freshened by soaking it over night
in water. A teaspoonful of sugar, add
ed in cooking, improves it. Beans
(s.ring) can be kept in the same way.
The corn and beans must be packed as
soon as cut, or they will spoil.
SOFT GINaER-BREAD.-Put 1 tea
spoon of salt into quarts of -four, and
1 teaspoon quite full of soda; then sift
them with the flour together. Beat 1
cup of butter to cream, and then beat
to it cup of fine brown sugar, 2 tea
spoonfuls of ginger. Pour this, when
well beaten to the butter, into the mid
die of the -four. Stir full cup of sour
milk to the same quantity of molasses;
when well combined, pour this into the
-four, and mix as quickly as possible to
soft dough. Have on hand more sour
milk. to be poured in quickly if the mo-
lasses and milk do not make it soft
enough. Spread the dough on q tin
sheet, or drop into gem-pans, or patty
pans; set into baking-pan sprinkle
fine. brown sugar over the top, and
bake crisp, taking care not to scorch it.
A. NICE WAY TO Cook CRUSHED
WHEAT.-Put 2 teacups Of crushed
wheat to 4 cups of boiling water. Stir
it till all the Jumps disappear, then put
it into steamer, or double boiler, or
farina kettle. 1t can be cooked so as to
be palatable in 80 minutes, but Is much
nicer cooked or 4 hours, and in a
steamer or double boiler it can be cook
ed that long without burning; but if
simply boiled it can not cook to perfec-
ton witAsut drying on the kettle, occa-
sioning much waste. Crushed wheat,
if steamed, may be cooked in milk in
stead of water, and be improved. Serve
