now so much used in cooking as form
erly, though they are an addition to
the favor.-Farmers' Voice.

! Mustard Poultice.-Mix equal parts
of white mustard and flour into bat
ter with cold water. Black mustard,
thrice the strength OF white, is proper
tionately diluted. For children the
proportion of mustard should be small

are added to slippery elm or fiaxseed
poultice. It must never remain In con-
tact with the skin for longer period
than half an hour, unless the proper
ton of mustard is small. Avoid Bills

not a Hollandaise. For six persons,

point in a double boiler; in another
saucepan melt large tablespoonful of
butter and stir in two rounded table,
spoonfuls of -four; add the boiling
milk very slowly SO that when finished
you have a soup Of creamy consist
ency; season with salt, pepper and just
a bit each OF grated nutmeg and the
grated yellow peel of an orange; stir
in enough boiled and grated beet to
give it nice pink color. At the last
add a half pint of hot milk and pour
into the tureen at once. e.-Orange Judd
