MUCILAGE applied to a fresh cut, and
the wound then wrapped with paper and
coat OF mucilage applied to the paper,
will be sufficient protection till the
wound is healed.
CIDER made very late in the season
and stored in a cool place will keep
sweet, because active fermentation is
prevented. If it is rich and SWEEP
when it comes from the press, and care
is exercised in making it from good,
sound apples, it will not become sour if
kept in moderately cool cellar in a
tight cask or in bottles.
CoCoANUT CUsTARD.-Place one
dozen cocoanut balls (procured from
any confectionery in pudding-dish,
and over them pour, while it is hot, a
boiled custard made of one quart of
milk, the yelks of five and the whites of
three eggs well beaten, five tablespoon
fuls OF white sugar, Ga little more or
less to suit the individual taste,) one
tablespoonful of corn starch, wet with a
little cold milk, stirred in carefully to
prevent Jumping, and two teaspoonflls
OF extract of vanilla; have the two re-
naming whites beaten stiff, with little
sugar added; spread over the top of
the custard and set into the oven to
brown slightly; then put the pudding
aside to cool. 1t should be perfectly
cold when eaten.
A WRITER in the Ohio Farmer says
that he is not an old wheat raiser, but
has not lived these last few years to no
purpose, and thinks he has struck the
keynote of success in raising wheat, in
a thorough fitting of the soil before SOW
ing the seed, and he is convinced that a
poor piece of land, dragged, rolled, and
then reftted until the ground is as mel
low as an lash heap" will produce a
better yield of wheat than rich piece
OF land poorly plowed, half dragged
and the seed scattered among the Jumps
and clods, and portion OF it without
covering or any chance to terminate or
obtain hold.
MINCED FowL.-Take the remains of
a cold roast fowl and cut off the white
meat, which mince finely without any
skin or bone; but put the bone and skin

mace, and a handful of sweet herbs tied
up. Add nearly pint of water. Let
1t stew for an hour, and then strain and
pour off the gravy, putting in tea
spoonful of Worcestershire sauce. Take
two hard-boiled eggs and chop them
small; mix them with the fowl, land salt,
pepper and mace according to taste
put in the gravy, also half a teaspoonful
of very finely-minced lemon-peel, and
one tablespoonful Of lemon-juice, two
tablespoonful of flour, made into a
smooth paste with little cold water,
and let the whole just boil. Serve with
sippets of toasted bread. Some persons
prefer cayenne to white pepper.
BOILED CHOCOLATE CUsTARD.-
Crate a quarter of pound of unsweet-
ened chocolate, and put in half pint OF
hot water on the stove to dissolve; it
need not boil, but requires occasional
stirring; beat up four eggs, yelks and
whites together, with half a pound OF
pulverized sugar, and pour over it a
quart of boiled milk; then stir in the
chocolate; strain the whole through a
fine sieve, put back on the fire, and stir
continually with wooden spoon till it
thickens, which it will do in about three
to five minutes; when cool enough put
in the bowl it is to be served in, and
keep on ice till you are ready to use.
