warm weather.
Tomato Frittcrs. Slice ripe ones,
dip in thick, rich batter; season with
pepper ard salt; fry like oysters. Or,
they may be seasoned with sugar and
almost any spice, aud fried as before.
To keep flies from horses, procure
n bunch of smart-weed, and bruise IL to
cause the juice to exude. Rub the ami
NAL thoroughly with the bunch of
bruised weed, especially on the legs,
neck and ears. Neither flies nor other
insects will trouble him for twenty-four

sharp knife through each row of corn,
lengthwise, and scrape out the pulp. To
a generous pint of this pulp add three
beaten eggs, teaspoonful OF butter,
sugar to taste, little salt and any spice
or flavoring liked. Bake in moderate

sugar, one quart of vinegar spice to
your taste. Heat all these together and
pour over the fruit. Let il stand all

and bake a light brown. This will
make three pies.

ears into boiling water and let remain
| just long enough to set the milk; then
cut carefully from the cob. and to every
two quarts of corn add pint of salt /;
mix thoroughly, pack in earthen jars,
spread a cloth over the corn with a
weight on top. Keep in cool place.
When wanted for use put into stew
pan, cover with cold water, let heat,
turn Oft, put on cold water again and
so repeat till fresh enough for taste.
Cream, butter, salt and pepper may
then be added.

easily obtained After the blood has
ceased to flow, laudanum may be ad-
