Boiled Apple Dumping. Prepare

as fer baked dumplings, chopping finely
the apples that they may cook more
readily. Put each dumping into a bag

Potato Pats.-Make mashed potato
into thin pats while it is warm, and
these can be fried in various ways-by
dipping in beaten egg and fry
ing in butter, by dipping in egg
and then in corn meal and
frying in butter, or simply frying
after bacon or salt pork. They are also
delicious placed on buttered pan in
the oven and basted often with dripping
from beef or mutton roast, and placed
around the roast when served.-Coun-
try Gentleman.
Graham Gems my estimation
Graham gems are better made without
eggs. My manner of making them is
easy and is also inexpensive. Take one
pint of thick, sour milk in which is dis
solved small teaspoodful of soda or
saleratus, half cupful of sugar (they
are good without sugar; some prefer
them without); add little salt, stir in
graham flour until the mixture is quite
stiff. Heat and grease your gem pans
and bake in a hot oven. Sometimes
mix the graham flour with wheat -four.
and find this makes little change that
is pleasant Farmer.
Apple Butter-This is generally
made in large quantities. Boil down
kett1efuI of cider to two-thirds the orig
inal quantity. Pare, core and slice the
will just cover. Boil slowly, stirring
often with fat stick, and, when the
apples are tender to breaking, take
them out with strainer. Put in a sec.
ond supply of fruit and repeat the oper-
alton. Pour all together into large
tub, cover it, and let it stand for twelve
hours. Return it to the kettle and boil
the fruit down. stirring all the time,
till it attains the consistency of brown
soft soap Spice or flavor to taste; keep
it in stone jars in a dry cool place. 1t
should last good right into the spring.
