has been well dressed and washed; then fill 
the body with oysters; sew it up carefully; 
lay the turkey in a large dish, and set it on 
a steamer placed over boiling water; cover 
closely, and steam from two hours to two 
hours and a-lialf—or till by running a fork 
into the breast you find it is well done. 
Then take it up; strain the gravy which 
will be found in 1 he dish; have an oyster 
sauce ready, prepared like stewed oysters, 
and pour this gravy, thickened with ft little 
butter and (lour, into the oyster Banco; lot 
it just boil up. and whiten wit h a little boil¬ 
ing cream; pour this sauce over the steamed 
turkey, and seud to the table hot. Of course 
while the turkey is steaming, you will have 
the oysters all ready for . e gravy from the 
dish, and the cream also boiled, that there 
may be as little delay as possible after the 
turkey Is cooked.

ODDS AND ENDS, 
Folding Napkins Pillar Shape.—We 
give herewith five illustrations showing 
how a napkin may be folded in what is 
known among waiters as the “ pillar shape.” 
Tho engravings need no explanation. We 
add, however, that a table loses none of its 
attractiveness when garnished by artisti¬ 
cally folded napkins. 
To Clean Kid Gloves. —Mary F. W. 
sends us the following printed slip, which 
she says she knows from experience is wor¬ 
thy a place in the Rural New-Yorker: 
“ ilavc ready a little new milk in one sau¬ 
cer, a piece of white soap in another, and a 
dean cloth folded two or t hree times. On 
the cloth spread out the glove smooth and 
neat. Take a piece of flannel, dip it in the 
milk, then rub off a good quantity of soap 
on the wetted flannel, and commence to 
rub the glove towards the fingers, holding 
beautiful subject over engraved. Ncurly one year’s 
time—ami n largo amount or money have been spent 
to engrave It. Agents who find that “books ijohIow,”

To Coolc Potatoes. —Select etioh as are 
of uniform size; wash them, but do not dis¬ 
turb the skin in any way; cover with cold 
or lukewarm water, an inch above the vege¬ 
tables; leave uncovered; place on the fire; 
when nearly to the boiling point, pour off 
the water and replace with the same quan¬ 
tity of oold water; the action of tho cold 
water sends tho heat from the surface to 
the heart, making tuem mealy; throw in a 
portion of salt; try them with a fork to 
see when done; pour off tho water and 
cover the pot with a folded napkin, towel 
or flanuel cloth; let it stand by the tire 
ten minutes; peel, and send thorn to the 
table. When potatoes are boiled too fast, 
tho skins crack beforo the heart, is done. 
To add to their deliciousneas, pour over 
them hot cream in which a little butter has 
been melted (or not), and sprinkle with 
pepper. 
Roasted potatoes are introduced at lunch, 
or what is its equivalent, supper, with cold 
meats. Wash and dry them; bury them 
in the ashes—hot wood ashes—or bake slow¬ 
ly in a Dutch oven; it will require two 
hours* time; to economize in time, they 
may be half boiled before being put to roast. 
Serve with the skins on. To be eaten with 
cold butter and salt. 
To Steam a Turkey.—We find the fol¬ 
lowing commended but uncredited:—Rub 
pepper and salt inside the turkey, after it 
the best material may easily be spoiled by 
unskillful treatment. 
Light Bread. — For the benefit of those 
who may have to live upon biscuits longer 
than they like, T send the following method 
of making light bread:—Scald a gill of new 
milk, thicken to the consistency of still' 
gruel with meal, and keep warm till it be¬ 
comes light. Then add half Leftspoonful ot. 
salt, sodii the size of a pea, a pint of warm 
water and thicken with flour. When this 
rises, mix the broad with water or sweet 
milk, adding salt—R ose Geranium. 
Boiled Indian Pudding.—Sift one quart 
of Indian meal, add one tablespoonful of 
lard, a teaspoon of salt, one-half teaspoon 
of soda, one-half teacup of nice molasses; 
pour cm boiling water and st ir till it forms 
a very still’ batter ; wet a pudding bag, 
made of strong, new cloth, in boiling water; 
flour on the right side, turn it inside out, 
and put your pudding batter in; tie so it 
may swell one-third, and boil throo hours 
with a boiled dinner. My word for it, 
you will have a pudding you will not feci 
ashamed of. Serve with butter and maple 
sirup, or sugar dissolved. 
PJain rookies.—One cup sugar, one egg, 
beaten, one-half cup butter, one-half cup 
sour milk, soda to sweeten the milk, one 
teaspoon of ginger; rub the butter in the 
flour, stir in the egg and sugar, mix the 
spice in the milk, stir in and mix in flour 
till stiff enough to roll; roil very thin, and 
bake. For a large batch, double tho in¬ 
gredients. Plain but good, and healthy for 
children.—B. F. T. _ 
To pickle Meat.—1 have noticed recipes 
for this purpose in tho Rural New-York¬ 
er. Here Is my practice:— A barrel, clean 
and sweet, is always ready. When the meat 
is cool it is cut. up to fit the barrel, in the 
bottom of which I put a layer of salt half 
an inch thick, laying the meat in skin side 
down; then another layer of salt and an¬ 
other of meat, flesh side down, and so on, 
keeping flesh and skin sides together. It 
remains in I bis condition till the first to the 
middle of March, when 1 put salt enough in 
cold spring water to make a brine that will 
bear an egg. This 1 pour over the meat,. 1 
then put a weight on the meat to keep il 
covered by brine and keep in ft cool place. 
It will keep a year.— Jacob Sunderland. 
A Humbug Recipe.— The following 
recipe is a humbug, and is being sold as the 
“New England Soap:”—Take three pounds 
of German evasive soap, shave it up fine, 
dissolve it in three quarts boiling soft water; 
add one ounce salts tartar; three ounces 
borax; then take from the fire and set. it 
away to cool; as soon as it becomes cool
