Mrs. Coburn's Rice Puddinp.-A
cupful of rice cooked q little, cupful
of sugar, half cupful of butter, three
pints of milk, teaspoonful of CHINA
mon, little nutmeg; bake two hours.
"A correspondent, successful in
meat curing, recommends q smoke of
corn-cobs, an hour at time twice q
day. Too much smoke is injurious, and
heat (Which always accompanies
blaze) is especially to be avoided.
Sour Cream Biscuits. Thoroughly
dissolve two level teaspoonfuls of soda
and little salt in aaRint of sour cream,
and mix in flour until you have dough
that is soft as can possibly be handled
and cut into biscuits. Bake immediate
ly in hot oven.
Cure for Ingrowing Nails.-Take a
little tallow and put it into a spoon and
heat it over the lamp until it becomes
very hot; then put it on the sore or
granulation. The effect will be almost
magical. The operation causes very
little pain IL the tallow is perfectly
heated.
"A Fine Bread Pudding. Take three
pints of milk, boil and sweeten it with
half pound of sugar; add a small nut
meg grated, and half pound of butter,
while it is warm. Pour in boiling hot
over twelve ounces of grated bread
crumbs and cover it up for a time.
Beat up ten eggs, mix all together,
then bake in a dish or pie plates lined
with pastry.
Taking Cold.-One of the many
ways of taking cold is by not keeping
the mouth shut when out in the sharp,
cold air. The tender membranes of the
throat are exposed to the chilling air,
and congestion ensues; in other words,
the person takes cold. The cold air
should be taken in through the nostrils.
Man, like the lower animals, should
breathe through his nose.
Fried Cakes. Take one cupful of
sour cream, one cupful of buttermilk,
two cupfuls of sugar, three eggs, two
level teaspoonfuls of soda, little salt,
and fine ground cinnamon; add flour
sufficient to roll out; fry in verv hot
lard. One reason why fried cakes are
so often soggy and full of fat, is that
the lard was not boiling. 1t should be
hot enough to make the cakes puff up
and cook on the outside almost instant
ly, before the lard has a chance to pen
citrate to the inside.
Whiting five pounds, skinned
milk two quarts, slaked lime two
ounces, linseed oil one pint. Put the
lime in stoneware vessel and pour the
milk on it till it looks like cream. Then
crumble in the whiting and grind all
together as you would paint, after
which add oil. You must keep your
mixture constantly stirred, as the oil
rises to the surface. This whitewash
looks beautiful and cannot be rubbed
off with cloth when dry.-Rurat NeU
Yorker.
Apple Souffle. Boil some apples
with very little water, plenty of lump
sugar, and few cloves or little Gin
namOn, until a well-reduced marmalade
is obtained; pass it through hair sieve.
Mix very little corn starch with gill
of milk, stir it over the fire until it
thickens, add the yelks Of four eggs,
and as much apple marmalade as will
make mixture of the proper conss-
tency; work it well, so as 10 get it of
uniform smoothness, then add the
whites of six eggs whisked to a stiff
froth, mix them in quickly with the
rest, pour into plain mold, and put
into the oven at once.
