CHEESE "A writer IN knowledge re
commends a dish of cheese thus made:
Take one. e.Quarter of pound of grated
cheese, add to it a gill Of milk in which
is dissolved as much powdered bi-car
Donate of potash as will stand Upon q
three-penny piece, with mustard and
pepper to taste. Heat this carefully un-
til the cheese is completely dissolved.
Then beat three eggs, yolks and whites
together, and add them to the dissolved
cheese, stirring the whole. Into shall
low mental or earthen ware dish put
little butter; when it fizzles pour in the
mixture and bake till it is nearly solid.
Serve hot. It is claimed that the addi-
ton of potash to the cheese, renders its
free use as an article of diet much more
desirable.
PorArors.-s. B. asks: "What is the
relative value of sweet and Irish no
tatoes as articles of food and which va
riety will furnish the largest quantity of
starch for commercial purposes" In
DR.. Smiths Goods" we find the analy.
sis of the Irish potato (Solanum tuber-
osum) given thus: Water rs, nitrogen
81, starch 1873, sugar 80, fat02, salts or,
But we cannot find in any book at hand
the analysis of the sweet potato--(Bata-
tas edulis). The fact however that the
Irish potato is so much preferred above
the sweet variety is quite significant
Of the comparative value of the two,
both for food and for starch producing
purposes.
BENEF1T1Ne BuLBs.-An exchange rec
ommends the following: can ounce OF
nitrate of soda dissolved in four gallons
of water is a quick and good stimulant
for bulbs, to be applied twice week af-
ter the pots are filed with roots, and
the flower spikes are fairly visible. A
large handful of SCOT, or about a pint,
tied up in piece of old canvass, and inn
mersed in the same quantity of water for
a. day or two, will furnish safe and ex-
ceIlent stimulant; also good and safe is a
quarter ola pound Of COW manure mixed
in a large garden pot of water, and used
as required Any as these .sti1nulants
will do good; or the whole Of them ap-
piled alternately will benefit bulbs that
need more sustenance that the soil af-
fords.
ORANGE PUDD1NGs (nutritious and d.
gestible)-Soak cupful of stale bread in
half a cupful of milk until it can be
beaten to pulp: mix with it the grated
rind of one orange, the juice of two,
sugar to taste, and the yolks of two raw
eggs; butter six small cups, and set them
in a pan of hot water; then beat the
whites of two eggs to stiff froth, mix
them lightly with the other ingredients,
partly fill the cups, and bake the pud-
ding until the egg is done in moderate
oven-about fifteen or twenty minutes
will be required; serve the puddinga
hot.-Juliet Corson.
