Preparing  Horseradish 
I  would  like  to  know  a  good  recipe  for 
making  horseradish  for  homo  use.  I  have 
only  a  small  patch,  but  would  like  to 
know  just  what  to  put  in  it,  and  when 
is  the  right  time  to  dig  the  root,  as  I 
want  to  make  it  to  keep.  -  a.  if.  M. 
You  cannot  grate  horseradish  and  have 
it  keep  white  for  tiny  great  length  of  time. 
This  is  a  problem  that  has  worried  all  the 
manufacturers  of  pickles  and  relishes,  but 
all  whom  we  have  consulted  state  that 
pure  grated  horseradish  in  vinegar  in¬ 
variably  deteriorates  3u  color,  if  kept  for 
any  length  of  time,  and  it  must  thus  he 
made  fresh,  at  frequent  intervals. 
Large  growers  dig  roots  in  the  Fall, 
storing  in  pits  or  root  cellars  like  any 
other  Winter  vegetable,  but  the  roots  are 
perfectly  hardy,  and  may  he  left  out  all 
Winter  if  desired.  Sometimes,  iu  com¬ 
mercial  culture,  part  of  the  crop  is  left 
out  all  Winter,  and  harvested  in  early 
Spring.  In  the  case  of  a  home  supply, 
part  may  be  dug  for  convenience,  and 
stored  in  a  cool  cellar  iu  boxes,  with 
earth  thrown  over  the  roots  to  prevent 
shrivelling,  as  it  would  he  awkward  to 
dig  after  the  ground  was  frozen.  In  pre¬ 
paring  for  table  use,  the  roots  are 
washed,  peeled  or  scraped,  and  grated  (a 
tearful  job,  when  done  under  ordinary 
domestic  conditions).  The  grated  pulp 
is  put  into  small,  wide-mouthed  bottles, 
which  are  filled  about  three-fourths  full, 
and  the  bottle  is  then  filled  up  with  good 
vinegar,  which  soaks  down  through  the 
pulp.  In  open  containers  both  pungency 
and  color  suffer.  If  you  have  roots  stored 
iu  the  cellar,  you  can  grate  and  prepare  a 
few  bottles  whenever  needed. 
Soon,  likp  a  silent  wraith,  will  come  a  day 
Unheralded  by  sun  or  singing  streams. 
When  the  forgetful  earth  will  drift  away 
Down  the  white  tide  of  dreams.

Raw  peanuts,  chopped  fine,  is  one  of 
the  best  foods  for  many  of  the  wild  birds, 
especially  chickadees  and  nuthatches. 
Many  of  the  small  birds  are  very  fond  of 
hominy,  and  we  scatter  this  for  them 
freely,  especially  in  snowy  weather.  It 
is  a  good  plan  to  arrange  a  feeding  shelf 
at  one  end  of  a  porch,  ont  of  the  reach  of 
marauding  eats,  hut  where  the  birds  can 
be  under  observation.  One  of  our  friends 
in  Vermont  told  us,  a  few  years  ago.  of 
the  friendly  chickadees  that  visited  her, 
becoming  so  tame,  that  they  would  eat 
from  her  hand,  or  fearlessly  alight  upon 
her  shoulder.  Chickadees  are  among  the 
most  sociable  of  our  feathered  friends, 
and  their  cheery  Winter  song  adds  gaiety 
to  the  dullest  day.  They  are  certainly  en¬ 
titled  to  any  hospitality  we  can  offer 
them.

A  correspondent  who  does  not  send 
address  asks  how  to  pickle  artichokes. 
No  doubt  the  question  refers  to  the  roots 
of  the  Jerusalem  artichoke,  the  flower 
head  of  the  French  artichoke  being  less 
common.  To  pickle,  wash  the  artichokes 
and  let  them  stand  in  brine  over  night. 
Then  dry  and  rub  skin  off  with  a  cloth, 
pack  iu  a  crock  and  pour  over  them  hot 
vinegar  that  has  been  brought  to  a  boil 
with  a  spice  hag,  u  little  salt,  if  taste  re¬ 
quires  it,  and  a  piece  of  alum  the  size  of 
one’s  thumb  nail.  Once  a  week  for  three 
weeks  the  vinegar  should  be  drained  off, 
reheated,  and  poured  over  the  artichokes 
again,  after  which  the  pickle  should  stand 
for  a  time  before  using.

THE  RURAL  NEW-YORKER 
333  West  Thirtieth  Street,  New  York 
Many  of  the  millinery  ornaments  trim¬ 
ming  the  Full  hats  are  simply  made  and 
modest  in  proportions — hut  they  are  not 
always  modest  in  price.  Some  of  them, 
however,  can  ho  copied  quite  easily  by 
nimble  fingers.  One  of  the  simplest 
forms  is  a  plaque  or  eabochou  of  fur, 
surrounded  by  a  fine  pleating  one  inch 
wide ;  such  a  trimming  is .  often  used 
where  the  brim  of  n  Napoleon  hat  is 
turned  up,  or  on  a  small  velvet  toque; 
again,  a  quill  may  he  passed  through  it, 
as  trimming  for  a  hat  of  the  plain  tail¬ 
ored  type.  A  round  of  buckram  should 
be  cut,  a  little  larger  than  the  finished, 
fur  laid  over  it,  the  edge  turned  in.  and 
the  little  silk  pleating  put  around.  A 
disk  of  cotton  hatting  should  then  be  put 
on  the  under  side,  to  give  body,  and  the 
ornament,  finished  with  a  lining,  felled 
neatly  around  the  edge.  Very  attractive 
ornaments  ai;e  made  with  metal  braid,  put 
on  in  a  flat  coil,  or  woven  basket  fashion, 
the  lining  and  finishing  being  like  the  fur 
ornament.  There  are  quaint  bead  and 
chenille  ornaments  in  fancy  shapes  that 
are  often  put  flat  on  the  brim  of  a  wide- 
brimmed  hat.  and  a  person  who  does  bead¬ 
ing  can  make  them  quite  inexpensively, 
and  suit  personal  taste  in  shape  and 
color.  One  of  these  ornaments  noted  on  a 
black  velvet  hat:  was  a  gray  chenille  vase 
holding  a  flowing  bouquet  of  flowers  and 
vines  done  in  beads — green,  blue  and  a 
little  pink.  It  was  like  the  decorations 
one  sees  on  ohl-time  bead  bags,  and  was 
of  course  worked  on  an  invisible  canvas 
foundation.
