scrap of bright eolor out of children’s clothes, 
these will usually lie found sufficient to make 
quite a bright carpet. In euttiug rags do not 
cut around a piece, or cut near the end and

and so goes the farthest) and color it myself 
in the same way 1 color the rags. I usually 
color it of two or more color?, and have it 
striped iu the warp. After the carpet is out

BUCKWHEAT CAKES. 
What :an be more palatable on a cold Win¬ 
ter morning, such us we have been having of 
late, than good, warm buckwheat cakes, with 
good butter and sirup. Nothing else seems 
quite as convenient to the housewifd. With 
coffee, meat and buckwheat cakes at hand, 
breakfast is soon steamiug on the table. My 
neighbor, Mrs. J., has had quite a novel expe¬ 
rience in making this necessary article of 
winter fare. When she was married, she had 
been well taught in all necessary branches of 
farm housekeeping; among other thing-', that 
“buckwheat batter must not be frozen.” Her 
husband was the eldest son of a family of six 
—all boys, but the two youngest. Their pa¬ 
rents were both dead, and “the boys" had 
kept house for a few- mouths after the mother’s 
death. They were more competent to do this 
than many girls are, as they had always been 
helpful to their delicate mother, who was an 
exceLent housekeeper. W hen buck wheat cake 
season arrived, “Lizzie” was careful to bave 
her batter kept warm and uice to insure light¬ 
ness, etc.; but it also happened that it was 
sometimes sour and require I sweetening 
with soda. But one morning the batter crock 
was not in its accustomed place—a matter of 
great wonder to this methodical housekeeper; 
but one of the boys soon produced it from the 
back porch, aud, of course, it was frozen. 
“Well, you huve spoiled our cakes with your 
nonsense, and will have to eat cold bread for 
breakfast!” was the verdict pronounced by 
the housekeeper. "Bake them aud see if they 
are spoiled,” was the reply. “But. they are so 
stiff l can’t stir the soda in.” “Weil don’t put 
any in then, and try an experiment.” So tne 
experiment was tried, aud the cakes were 
pronouuced the best of the season. And the 
announcement was made that “this was moth¬ 
er's wuy.” Ho this was adopted by “Lizzie,” 
and I can testify that her cakes are always 
nice. I followed the plan myself this Winter, 
and we never had nicer cukes. “Shall I tell 
you just how to do it?” Take a large crock— 
never less than a two-gallon one—put in it a 
cup of yeast and enough butter-milk to fill the 
crock two thirds full; add a large handful of 
salt, stir quite stiff with buckwheat flour, aud 
about oue-fourtb of shorts or wheat middlings. 
If this is not handy, a pint of wheat flour is an 
improvement to all buckwheat. Set it iu a 
warm place until light; then in a cool place 
where the cakes will not freeze too hard. 
When wanted, they are ail ready for the grid¬ 
dle without soda or thinning. Take what is 
wanted and sot thereat aside, if there is plenty 
for another meal without addition, but always 
leave enough in the crock to leaven the uext 
stirring of batter. This is Mrs. J’s plan, but 
1 prefer to nse about one-third water in stir¬ 
ring, to all buttermilk, and never add yeast, 
unless every bit has heeu used up, but always 
the handful of salt. mbs. o k. jack.
