THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
years, having cut it from Noah’s Sunday 
Times over 30 years ago, and have never 
seen it elsewhere in print. 
CLEANING MIXTURE. 
Two ounces liquid ammonia, two ounces 
bar soap finely shaved, two teaspoonfuls of 
powdered salt-peter. Put these in a large 
open-mouthed bottle ami add oue-and-one- 
hal^piutof warm water. Shake well occa¬ 
sionally. It will be ready for use in two or 
three days- It is just the thing to use in 
washing delicate colored articles, also to add 
to the water for shampooing the head, and a 
little added to water, and sprayed upon plants 
kills any insects which may infest them, 
while at the fame time it is fertilizing. One 
more recipe and I am done: 
PORK CAKE. 
One cup of finely chopped, clear, fat, salt 
pork; one cup of sugar, one-and-one-balf cup 
of molasses, one egg, one tea»poonful of soda, 
two of cream-of-tartar, one tablespoonful 
each of cinnamon aud cloves and one-half 
tablespoonful of allspice. A cup of boiling 
water is poured on the chopped pork and left 
to stand until the other ingredients are all 
mixed, then added water and all. Bake 
slowly two hours or more. Age improves 
this cake. I forgot to say flour must be ad¬ 
ded till about as stiff as pound cake; I find oX 
cups about right. aunt em. 
fore you need to put it into the oven. Baste 
well and frequently, aud pour over it a little 
melted butter when browning to make the 
skin crisp aud brown. It is always served 
with cranberry sauce, or some tart jelly, as 
currant, plum or grape. , a. l. j. 
APPLE JELLY. 
The apple crop was almost au entire failure 
in our section, as indeed were all kinds of fruit. 
But as we bad friends in au adjoining county, 
where apples were more plenty, Solomon 
took the team and drove there, buyiug sever¬ 
al barrels of apples at fifty cents a busbcl.pick¬ 
ing them himself. Of course, they are a rare 
treat to our neighbors and children who call,as 
well as to ourselves. We make the rnostof these 
nice Baldwins, Spitzenburgs and Spies in the 
following manner: When paring for pies or 
sauce, we wipe clean and save the parings and 
cores, rejecting all bad or wormy spots, put 
those to cook nearly covered with water. 
When thoroughly cooked, strain through a 
jelly bag and add one cup of sugar for two 
cups of juice and cook until thick when cool. 
We find this very palatable with bread and 
butter, and especially do the children like it 
for school dinners. 
BATTER PUDDING. 
One quart of milk, sweet, six eggs; beat well 
and add half the milk. 8tif*1n enough flour 
to rnuke a thick batter; add the remainder of 
the milk, and bake one hour in moderate oven. 
It should be hot when the pudding is first put 
in. Serve with a dressing of butter sauce— 
one cup of sugar to half cup of butter.

EFFECTS 
Ayer’s Bills arc made from the crmcen- 
trutcd extracts and active remedial prin¬ 
ciples of purely vegetable substances. 
They are, therefore, far more effective and 
satisfactory in their cathartic, diuretic, 
Ami tonic effects than Pills made by the 
ordinary process from powdered drugs. 
M. O. Lawson, Greenville, Tenn., writes: 
“ 1 have used Ayer’s Pills for Stomach 
and Liver troubles with excellent results.” 
J. M. llodgdon, Stillwater, Minn., writes: 
“Ayer's Pills arc invaluable as a cathartic, 
and especially for their action upon the 
liver. 1 am sure, they saved my life.” 
Antoine Albert/, Los Angelos, Cal., 
writes: “Ayer’s Cathartic Pills cured 
mo'of a severe bilious attack, when the 
medicine given me by the doctors failed 
to do any good.” 
remedy, for all diseases arising from a dis¬ 
ordered condition of the stomach or liver, 
is Ayer’s Pills. Mrs. Radiol C. Pecker- 
ton, Germantown, Pa., writes: “For 
three years l was afflicted with Liver 
Complaint. I tried the best physicians in 
the country, but could get no relief. 1 
was advised to use Ayer's Pills, and, 
having done so, believe my liver is now in 
a perfectly healthy condition.” Thos. 
Gerrish, Webster, N. lb, writes: “ 1 was 
compelled to quit work in consequence of 
a severe bilious trouble. In less tlmnone 
month l was cured by the uso of Ayer’s 
Pills.” Jacob Little, Tampico, Mexico, 
writes; “Ayer's Pills cured me of Stom¬ 
ach and Liver troubles, which annoyed me 
for years. By using them occasionally, 
I enjoy the best of health.”

DOMESTIC RECIPES 
MINCE DIES. 
Boil a beef tongue with two pounds of lean 
beef; skin the tongue and take out all bits of 
grUtlo, udd two pounds of suet and chop all 
till fine. Then add two pounds of ruisins, two 
of currants (washed clean), nine pounds of 
apples chopped fine, and a quarter of a pound 
of citron peel, four pounds of sugar and spice 
to taste. Let all be thoroughly mingled and 
chopped; pack into stone jars and pour over 
it the spiced viuegar from a sweet pickle jar, 
or any eider or other liquid that may be pre- 
ferred.to moisten it. 
TO STEW CELERY. 
In using this vegetablo raw for the table 
there are always some coarse pieces that are 
not white or crisp. These are very good cut 
into small pieces and stowed in a little broth; 
when tender, add some cream and a little 
butter. Thicken with flour and season with 
pepper and salt. Celery is called a good 
nervine, and is a vegetable that should be 
used whenever possible. 
OYSTER SOUP. 
There are so many methods of making this 
soup that it were well for housekeepers to 
know the method that seems best to retain 
the flavor of the oyster. “I don’t like crack¬ 
ers boiled in milk only,” I said the other day 
when tusting some that seemed insipid. Put 
the liquor from a quurt of oysters In a stew- 
pan and set It on the back of the stove, Heat 
a pint and a half of milk and with it two 
ounces of butter; stir in a pint of cracker 
crumbs that have beeu rolled fine, and add 
pepper and salt to taste. When nearly, but 
not quite at boiliug point, add the oyster 
liquor, then throw in the oysters, and as soon 
as they look plump and ruffled,serve the soup. 
If there is much liquor, use less milk. Some 
people prefer a little water added instead of 
so much milk, 
LEMON PUDDING. 
Boat the yelks of two eggs with a teacupful 
of sugar, dissolve four tablespoonfuls of corn¬ 
starch in a little cold water, and thin it out 
with boiling water. Put in the juice of two 
lemons and some of the grated peel. Mix all 
together with a teaspoonful of butter. Bake 
about fifteen minutes. Beat the whites of the 
eggs with a little sugar, and spread over the 
top, letting it color a moment in the oven. To 
be eaten hot or cold.
