condition in July. Prick one hundred
nuts well through, and lay them INTO
brine made of four pounds of salt TO each
gallon Of vinegar; let them remain nine
days, and at the end of the third and
sixth days change the brine for fresh.
On the ninth day lay them in the sun.
After they are well drained place them
in the sun till they turn black; they will
need to remain several days. Boil one
gallon of vinegar, two ounces OF black
pepper, half an ounce OF cloves, one
ounce of mace, che ounce OF all-plce
and one ounce of root ginger sliced, ten
minutes, and pour it over the walnuts,
which have been packed in jars three
quarters full. When the vinegar cools
cover them up tight. They will be
ready to use in a month, but they are
better in a year, and will keep ten years.
This pickle is an excellent accOmpani-

will willingly forego resort to it be
cause of its having been rendered some
what less acceptable to the palate. The
promptness with which Its cordial infiu-
ence is felt is indeed surprising. Some
portions of it seem to be dlRested and
appropriated almost immediately; and
many who fancy they need alcoholic
stimulants when exhausted by labor of
brain or body will fad in this simple
draught an equivalent that shall be
abundantly satisfying and more endur-
ing in its effects.
SAVOY BISCUITS up twelve eggs
with three spoonfuls of water, adding
gradually pound Of finely-pOwdered
loaf sugar. When the mixture becomes
of the consistency of thick cream mix
with it a pound of fine flour previously
dried and mould 1t into long cakes,
which are to be baked in slow oven.
Savoy biscuits may also be prepared IN
the following way: Take about six eggs
and weigh them and afterward beat them
into froth, and mix them with some
fresh grated lemon peel beaten with a
little sugar IN mortar into powder.
Then beat up with them the same weight
of sugar as of the eggs employed, and
also the same quantity of flour. When
the materials are made into a paste
mould it into biscuits, sprinkle white
sugar ON them and bake them on paper
at moderate heat.
TAR WATER.-That there is virtue III

ness of smoke from burning tar in driving
out of plum orchards injurious insects.
And now it is said tar water will pre-
vent potato bugs and cabbage worms.
lake two quarts of gas tar in pail, and
fill the pail with water; stir it up well,
and let the tar settle, Then sprinkle
the vines with the water from a sprink-
ling pot. This has proven more effect
ive than Paris green. 1t is inexpensive
and perfectly reliable, and no doubt will
prove equally sure death to insect, of
every kind on trees. This gas tar can
be had for 81 barrel, and one barrel
would supply whole township.
A FARMER near Troy has adopted a
new remedy for potato-bugs. he pro-
cured number OF boards and placed
them here and there among his potatoes,
and on these boards were placed raw po-
tatoes sliced. At neon, on the first day
of his experiment., be and his hired men
found every piece of potato covered
with bugs. The men killed this crop,
and at night another crop was killed.
