CORRECT TIME! 
EVERY-DAY. 
During the Winter months, when cows are 
milked in the barn, for all our care, I always 
find dirt in the milk unless I strain it through 
cloth. Hem a piece of old, thin factory, ten 
inches wide and twenty inches long. Put it 
over one side of the top of the pail, clasping 
the ends with the fingers while the thumbs 
push against the ears of the pail. When done 
rinse in cold water, then warm water, and 
snap it good to get off every substance. Never 
put into hot water except as it goes through 
the weekly wash. 
FOR CUTS. 
For a cut, tamarack balsam is the most 
healing of anything I have ever known. It 
will take the inflammation from a bad wound 
in a short time. Renew every day or two by 
soaking off the cloth with warm water. One 
who has cut tamarack will know how to find 
the balsam. Sometimes there will be a tea¬ 
cupful in a place. Keep covered. When old, 
one can heat it before using. Economist.

enough. If sown in boxes or pots, the soil 
must not be allowed to dry out once. We are

think I prefer my baked beans and Sarato¬ 
ga potatoes in the old-fashioned way, though 
I am thankful there is a plan to have the 
bones out of the codfish; and I wish, oh, so 
much, as the time comes on for bass fishing, 
that some good Domestic Economist would 
tell me of an invention to scrape fresh fish 
more quickly and to better advantage than it 
can be done with the old-fashioned knife. 
PARSLEY FOR GARNISHING. 
Third Supplementary Seed Distribution 
of the Rural New-Yorker for 1882. 
To those of our readers who are not in the 
habit of raising parsley we would say that the 
pleasing effect of the bright, green leaves for 
garnishing meats and vegetables for the table 
will well repay the trouble of starting a few 
plants indoors or out. The variety known as 
the Fern-leaved we have found most desira-

DOMESTIC RECIPES. 
I.KAl’ YEAR CAKE. 
One cup of sugar, one-half cup of butter, 
one-half cup of milk, whites of three eggs, 
one teaspoonful of cream-of-tartar, one-half 
teaspoonful of soda, one and three-quarters 
cup of flour. 
FROSTING. 
Yelks of three eggs, 13 tablespoonfuls of 
powdered sugar, (if granulated one less) Flavor 
with vanilla. 
INDIAN PUDDING. 
A great spoonful of meal moistened with 
one-half cup of molasses. Scald one quart of 
milk, turn this over the meal, after this is 
cool add two eggs and a little salt. Bake one 
hour. 
FLOAT. 
One quart of milk, the yelks of four eggs, 
four tablespoonfuls of white sugar, a pinch of 
salt, two teaspoonfuls of corn starch. Let the 
milk with the salt come to a boil, reserving a 
little of the milk to mix the corn starch with. 
Beat the yelks and sugar very light, and mix 
the corn starch with them, first dissolving the 
corn starch in cold milk, then pour the boding 
milk slowly into the whole. Place over the 
fiie again, stirring very fast. When nearly 
cohl, flavor. Beat the whites with a little 
sugar just before serving and place it on the 
top of the custard. 
STIFFENING LACE. 
One teaspoonful of sugar (white) to one pint 
of water used as search will give washed lace 
the appearauee of new. Manufacturers use it. 
PRESERVING THE RURAL. 
We think very much of the Rural, in fact, 
it occupies a diguified position in our house. 
As they come we fasten the numbers of each 
month together with three brass fasteners, 
which gives then a book form, very convenient 
for reading, and also gives then an orderly 
look on the pile when they are allowed to re¬ 
main the whole year. Other weeklies and 
dailies build fires, go errands, or are sent up 
stairs as soon as the next number arrives.

ECHOES FROM EVERY-DAY HOUSE. 
ANNIE L. JACK. 
“ And what on earth we’re coming to 
Does anybody know ?” 
For everything has changed so much 
Since thirty years ago.” 
The amateur cook is singing this as she takes 
some codfish out of the box, and as she sang I 
thought of the improvement in everything re¬ 
specting the culinary art that had taken place 
since “ thirty years ago.” Here in a little box 
was our codfish, boneless and ready for balls. 
Of course, we boil the fish a few minutes, put¬ 
ting on in cold water. Too much boiling 
toughens it. Then hot mashed potatoes are 
added, with a little butter well mixed in—one 
of the secrets of having them good is to mix 
hot. Fry quickly in boiling lard. Garnish 
the dish with parsley. (Does this last sentence 
seem superfluous i It adds to the appearance; 
try it.) How handy everything is, from the 
Atmore Plum pudding, the miuce-meat and 
fruit that is put up for our benefit. Yet I 
QUESTIONS ANSWERED. 
BRIGHTENING TIN-WARE. 
What will brighten old tin-ware when the 
tin is not worn off ? Mrs. McL. 
A n r.— We have found a paste made of vine¬ 
gar and whtting excellent for cleaning both 
tin and silver ware. It is inexpensive, does the 
work quickly, and, so far as we have had ex¬ 
perience, is quite harmless in its effects upon 
the plating. 
GRANITE AND AGATE IRON-WARE. 
Will you please tell me the difference be¬ 
tween the above iron-wares, and which is the 
most durable ? Mrs. T. J. Loucks. 
A ns. —There is no difference. One manu¬ 
facturer calls his ware granite and another 
manufacturer calls his agate, but the ware it¬ 
self is identical. 
-- 
jggTFast, brilliant and fashionable are the 
Diamond Dye colors. One package colors 1 
to 4 lbs. of goods. 10 cents for any color.— Adv. 
PLAIN BOILED OR STEAMED PUDDING. 
Two cups of sour milk, (mix with it two or 
three spoonfuls of sour cream if you have it), 
three full cups of sifted flour, half a cupful of 
suet minced as fine as possible, a large tea¬ 
spoonful of soda and a little salt. Stir the 
milk into the flour until free from lumps, add 
the suet and salt then the soda dissolved in hot 
water, pour into a mold or dish and steam two 
hours. Eat at once with hard sauce. 
COCOANUT SPONGE CAKE. 
One cup of powdered sugar, five eggs, whites 
and yelks beaten separately, juice and half 
the grated peel of one lemon, a little salt, a 
large cupful of flour sifted with a teaspoonful 
of baking powder and a cocoanut pared and 
grated. Beat together the sugar and the 
whipped and strained yelks, then add the salt 
and lemon, beat in the whites and flour by 
turns, then the grated cocoanut. Pour into 
shallow pans and bake half an hour. The 
oven must be well heated. Mary B.

STOVE BLACKING. 
The most lasting polish is said to be obtained 
by covering the stove with a mixture of lamp¬

for 34 hours, then apply a mixture (consistency 
of cream) of black-lead and mucilage and pol¬ 
ish at once.
