Tut it.
MoLAssEs CAKE.-One teacupful OF
molasses. one egg. one teaspoonful of
soda, one cup sweet milk, one of short
ening. Mix enough flour to make Of
right consistency.
WAFFLEs.-One quart of sweet milk,
warm. four eggs. piece of butter the
size OF an egg. one teasp0onful of salt.
teacup of yeast, -four enough to make q
stiff batter; let it rise three hours; bake
in waffle irons.
BEEFsFEAK AND OYSTER PIE.-Beat
the steak gently with rolling-pin and
season it with pepper and salt. Have
ready deep dish lined with not too
rich pastry. Put in the meat with
layers of oysters, then the oyster
liquor with little mace and a tea
spoonful Of ketchup. cover with q top
crust. and bake. Veal may be used in
stead Of beef if preferred.
THERE is such a thing as keeping
more than q profitable number of cows
or sheep upon q farm. A half dozen
halt starved COWS will not yield as much
milk as three that have all the food that
they want. If there is no more stock
than can be well kept the returns will
be the greatest in money and also in the
satisfaction OF seeing the animals in q
good, healthy condition-no small part
of the income to one who loves to have
good stock well kept upon his farm.
To CURE THE TooTHAcHE. We find
this in a magazine. It is easy to try it,
and if it is what it claims to be anybody
with an aching tooth will thank us for
printing it:-"The worst toothache, or
neuralgia coming from the teeth, may
be speedily ended by application of a
small bit of clean cotton saturated in a
strong solution of ammonia to the de-
fective tooth. Sometimes the sufferer
is prompted to momentary nervous
laughter by the application; but the
pain has disappeared.
PRESERVING GRAPEs.-Spread the
bunches-free from imperfect berries
and carefully cut-thinly on shelves or
tables for two or three days to dry up
the stems little. Then cut clean dry
rye straw in q straw cutter about an
inch long and cover the bottom of box
literally with this; follow with mod
crate layer of fruit, being careful that
the punches do not touch each other;
cover with q layer of cut straw. and
thus proceed, finishing of with layer
of straw. Place the boxes when filed
in cool. dry place and the grapes will
remain fresh q long time"
To PICKLE GREEN PEPPERs.-The
bell pepper is best for picking, and
should be gathered quite young. Slit
one side and take out the seeds and
core, being very careful that you do
not injure the peppers. Put them into
boiling salt and water, changing the
water every day for a week, and keep
them closely covered in a warm place
near the fire. Stir them several times
a day. They will at first become yellow
and then green. When they are nice
green, stuff them with chopped white
cabbage that has been previously sailed,
horseradish scraped, and white mustard.
Put them in jars, and pour cold vinegar
over them, adding q small piece of
alum.
RULE FOR HOP YEAsr.-Pare and
boil one dozen mealy potatoes; boil
thirty minutes. When boiling, put in
another kettle one handful of loose hops
or two tablespoonful of pressed hops.
and three quarts of cold water; cover
and let boil. When the potatoes are
cooked, drain off all the water and
mash very fine, and strain the hop
water boiling into the mashed potatoes.
Stir we'll and add one-half cup of sugar,
one-quarter cup of salt and one pint of
flour; when the salt, sugar and -four
are mixed, stir well and strain through
q colander. Let it stand until blood
warm, then stir in one cup or cake of
yeast. Set to rise in temperature of
seventy-five degrees. When risen suffi-
GENTLY, there will be a white coating on
the surface. Keep in stone jar or pot
with a tight cover which should be
firmly fastened. The yeast pot should
be washed thoroughly and scaldeG, lest
the yeast sour.
