ers pounded fine, one quart boiling
milk, one spoonful -four, one cup brown
sugar. six eggs, raisns and currents;
all kinds Of pfce.e Bake.
1--WE honestly believe says the
NeaU England Farmer, I" that the farmer
who will work his brains until noon
and his hands the balance efsthe day,
will outstrip him who rises at five and
tolls until nine at night
r lees use . large amount of water
in preparing feods fof tleir youngand
when they themselves are secreting
wax. If no water is near the apiary,
shallow troughs, with floats in them,.
should be kept constantly filled with
water for their use, and in this way
much time and labor may be saved,
them.
Picked Walnuts, or sButterntts.
Gather when well grown but tender
enough to run a needle through them.
Put into strong brine for three days,
changing once. Take out; wash; place
in sun, turning frequently until black.
Bring good vinegar to thefboiling point,
add whatever. spice ike.i, put the nuts
into jar and pour oVerthe hot vinegar.
They will be ready to eat in week.
"A pound and quarter of oatmeal
will supply as much nitrogen and al
most as much fat to the body as one
pound sof uncookede meat of ordinary
quality. Amman. gets three times as
much noirishment, at the same cost, in
oatmeal as he does in meats. One
pound and half of Indian meal is equal
to onerpound of uncooked meat in nitro
gen and surpasses it in fat.
Cure for Warts.-Put small piece
of alum into just enough water to dis
solve it; bring this to a boiling heat;
then, with broom-splint, or any con-
venient article, apply this boiling liquid
to5the wart. The liquid should be thick
and sirup-like, but on noaccount should
the water be allowed to boil away, as
you would then have burnt alum, and
that will have no effect whatever upon
the wart. Continue the application for
several days, and the warts will soon
gradually disappear.
TO Kill Burdocks. off the root
three or four inches below ground with
a spud or narrow, sharp tool. Con-
tinue the work year after year till the
crop is exhausted. Probably a. few
drops of sulphuric acid, from the end of,
a rod on the crown of each plant, would
do the work; or possibly thick mixture
of Paris green, or London purple, with
water, might be used suecessfuHyein the
same way-the mixture being many
times stronger than for killing potato
beetles.
To Remove Dandruff.-To one pint
of alcohol add gum camphor as large as
a small hickory nut. This, SO to speak,
merely camphorizes the alcohol. .Ber-
gamot or oil of rose, or any other es-
sence, may be used to perfume, as the
individual desires. Wet the.scalp with
this daily 1t win also be found a slim
ulant of the scalp, promoter of the
hair and will, in many instances, pre-
vent it from, falling out. For dryness
of the hair add small auantity.of gly-
eerine or c.stor al. sEsGg %
Mutton and Green Peas. Take a
breast of mutton weighing four pounds,
take off all the loose fat, and cut it into
pieces about two inches wide and four
long; heat a. tablespoonful Of. butter and
fry the outlets a light brown. first sift-
ing flour over them; take them out of
the grease and put them in a quart of
boiling stock or water, with an onion
cut fine, half tablespoonful of salt,
and half q teaspoonful of white PEPPER,
after it comes to a boil, let it simmer
for an hour. then add a quart of shelled
peas and a. fdeSsert-spoOnful of sugar,
and let it stew half an hour longer; ten
minutes before serving, thicken with a
a tablespoonful of flour creamed with a
tablespoonful of butter.
Cheese Fondu.-A pint bowl full of
minced cheese, which should not be of
a rich kind; the same quantity of bread
crumbs; two well-beaten eggs; half a
nutmeg; teaspoonful of SALT Heat a
pint of milk boiling hot, and in it a
large tablespoonful of butter; pour the
boiling milk over the other ingredients
and mix well; cover the bowl with
plate and set it back on the range for
three or four hours to dissolve, stirring
occasionally, and being careful it does
not cook. Half an hour before supper
butter nice pie-plate and pour into it
the mixture; set it in a quick oven and
brown, sending it to- the table very hot.
This depends for IFS success on being
quite smooth and the cheese all dis
solved. s NJ IS 49,
