AN address delivered before the Inter-
national Dairy Fair Association by Mr..
Thurber, the President, contained some
statistics that show how important a
part milk and its products play in the
food of the people. America contains
100000 mich cows; Germany, o.
100000; France, 100000; Great Brit
ain and Ireland, 100000; and Swift
zerland, 100000. In 1873 there were
manufactured in this country 960,O00,-
600 pounds of butter and $4,000, 900
pounds of cheese. Abont per cent. of
the former and over 40 of the latter was
sold for export.
Hot SLAw One small, firm head of
cabbage shred fine, one cup of vinegar,
one tablespoonful of butter, one table
spoonful of sugar, two tablespoonful of
sour cream, one-half teaspoonful of
made mustard, one saltspoonful of pep
per and the same of salt. Put the vine
gar and all the other ingredients for the
dressing, except the cream, in sauce
pan, and heat to boil; pour scalding
hot over the cabbage; return to the
saucepan, and stir and toss until all is
smoking again take from the fire, stir
in the cream, turn into Il covered dish
and set in hot water ten minutes before
you send to the table.
MINCE PIE.-It is supposed you have
your meat ready for the paste. Make
the paste by rubbing into a quart of
your best flour one-third of a pound of
sweet lard; chop it in with broad
knife, if YOU have time; wet up with
@ee-water; roll out very thin and cover
with dabs of butter, also of the best
fold into tight roll; flatten with a few
strokes of the rolling-pin, and roll out in
to a sheet as thin as the first basic again
with the butter; roll up and out into a
third sheet hardly thicker than drawing
paper; a third time dot with butter and
fold up closely. Having used as much
butter for this purpose as you have lard,
set aside your roll for an hour on ice, or
in very cold place; then roll out, line
your pie-plates with the paste, fill with
mince-meat, put strips across them in
squares or triangles and bake in steady
and not dull heat.
