160 FAMILY RECEIPTS. 



put a quantity of lard in a frying-pan, and when quito 

 hot, drop a dessert-spoonful of butter at a time: turn 

 them as they brown. Serve them immediately with 

 sweet sauce. 



SOLID SYLLABUB. 



To a quart of rich cream put a quart of white wine, 

 the juice of two lemons, with the rind of one grated, 

 and sweeten it. Whip it up well and take off the froth 

 as it rises. Put it upon a hair sieve, and let it stand in 

 a cool place till the next day. Then half fill the 

 glasses with the scum, and heap up the froth as high as 

 possible. The bottom will look clear and it will keep 

 several davs. 



CURRANT JELLY. 



Take the juice of red currants, 1 lb. sugar. Boil 

 them down. 



Another methocL- — Take the juice of red currants, add 

 white sugar, equal quantities. 



Stir it gently and smoothly for three hours, put it into 

 glasses, and in three days it will concrete into a firm 

 jelly. 



DAIRY. 



TO PROCURE PROFITABLE COVvS. 



Suppose a farmer to resolve that he would keep no 

 cow that did not hold out a good milker six months in 

 the year — and that did not give sixteen quarts of milk 

 per day for two months after calving, and twelve quarts 

 per day the next three months, and two quarts per 

 day the month following. — Such a cow would yield per 

 annum 2100 quarts of milk. 



Is it not practicable to have throughout the country, 

 a common dairy stock of animals as good as the last 

 described? 



The question is submitted to farmers for consideration. 

 The probability is that in taking some pains to get stock 

 as good, they would get even better.
