msm 
half teaspoon of soda, and flour enough to roll. 
These do not beep as well as the crullers do. 
CHE AM COOKIES. 
Two cups of sugar, two eggs, one-half a cup 
of sour cream, one-half cup of butter, tea¬ 
spoonful of soda and two of cream-of tartar, 
a little caraway seed and flour enough to roll 
quite soft. 
The following I took from a Rural of long 
ago: 
POT-PIE CRUST. 
One pint, of sour milk, hutermilk is better; 
one cup of thick, sour cream, teaspoonful of 
soda, one of salt, and flour to mix very hard. 
Set in a warm place for one hour..then pinch 
off pieces and drop in the kettle on your 
meat, boiling it thirty minutes, with the 
cover off during the first fifteen, and then 
covered clo’ely. 
CREAM JELLY CAKE. 
Beat two egcs in a teacup, fill up with 
thick cream, add a cup of sugar and one cup 
and-a-halfof flour in which you b«ve*tirred 
two teaspoonfuls of hakiug powder Bike in 
three round tins. Soda and cream of tar¬ 
tar give equally good results if good. This 
rule is also satisfactory when used for choco¬ 
late, custard or cocoanut cake.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED 
CLEANING ZINC. 
The zinc under my kitchen stove has be- 
eome badly defaced and corroded. Will any¬ 
thing remove the marks ? Mrs. B. North. 
Ans. —Try a mixture of sulphuric acid and 
water—one-third acid to two thirds water— 
rubbing quickly over the ziue. Wash off at 
once with warm water and a clean cloth, dry 
and polish with a woolen cloth and dry whit¬ 
ing. The acid should be kept labeled and out 
of the reach of grown people as well as chil¬ 
dren. Use a worthless earthen dish for mix¬ 
ing it in and burn the cloth.
