MISCELLANEOUS. 
IF raw yolks of eggs are put in a churn, just 
before the butter comes, their color will be im- 
parted to the butter. 
Shells burned in the oven and then placed on 
pantry shelves are said to repel vermin. 
Broken in bits, with cold water and a little 
soda, the shells, with their jagged edges, will 
clean glass bottles. 
Shells broken only at one end are convenient 
molds for blanc-mange and jellies. 
Old-time receipt books mention egg-shells as 
dishes to set in the ashes, in which to melt 
salves and ointments. 
One Swedish dish is an omelet of cheese, 
butter, milk and egg, cooked in the dish in 
which it is to be served. ;
