“I like your bread.” Such a taste is a sign of 
a healthy appetite. 
Calling on a friend lately, I found her work¬ 
ing over some lemon peel in what seemed to 
me a new way. She told me that she used a 
great deal in her cooking, and that after the 
peels were scraped she dropped them into a 
jar of salt and water about the strength of 
pickle. She did the same with good orange 
peel. After soaking it was rinsed and drained 
aud then rolled in powdered sugar. She 
soaked some of the lemon peel in alcohol, and 
made a stronger, purer flavoring tbau any 
that could be bought. One thing our own 
Amateur Cook tried last summer was a con¬ 
fection of rose leaves, and it was like thick, 
canned sirup, and very nice to put between a 
light cake, that when frosted with pale pink 
answered well as a rose cake, and we deter¬ 
mined to put up more the coming season, if 
roses do not fail. There is something about 
the flavoring of things that appeals to more 
than the actual appetite, eveu if it be only the 
flowers of a s umme r past. 
DOMESTIC RECIPES. 
CREAM PUFFS. 
One cup of hot water, onc-half cup of but¬ 
ter, boil together, stirring in a cupful of dry 
flour while boiling. When cold add three eggs 
not beaten. Drop by tablespoonfuls on a but¬ 
tered tin and bake in a quick oven 33 minutes, 
being careful not to open the oven door more 
than ts necessary. This makes 15 puffs. Take 
care that they do not touch each other. For 
tilling: take a pint of cream, a cup of pow¬ 
dered sugar and whites of two eggs with flavor¬ 
ing of any sort preferred. When the puffs are 
cold, cut a ronud piece out of the bottom of 
each, scrape out the inside; till the cavity 
with whipped cream, lit back the piece taken 
from the bottom, set on a dish and ice. 
DRV BREAD FRITTERS. 
Two cups of dry, tine bread crumbs, two 
table-spoonfuls prepared flour, half a pint or 
rather less of milk, four well beaten eggs, half 
a cupful of sugar, a tables^oonful of butter 
and a few currants. Boil the milk aud pour 
over the bread, dredge the currants with flour 
and mix all into a stiff batter. Drop into hot 
lard as doughnuts and send to table in pow¬ 
dered sugar. They are very nice, and if well 
beaten are quite light, 
ANOTHER METHOD OF SERVING APPLES. 
Apple sauce with whipped cream over it is 
a nice tea dish. Let them be well stewed, not 
mashed, nor yet sloppy, but with the outline 
of the pieces showing in the dish. This is done 
by covering the stew-pan, but not stirring the 
fruit. a. L. j. 
CARAMEL CAKE. 
One-half cup of butter, one cup of sugar, 
two eggs, one-hall' cup of milk, one-half cup 
of flour, one teaspoouful of soda. We think 
thatone and a half teaspoonful of baking pow¬ 
der instead of soda makes the cake much bet¬ 
ter. Bake in three layers. Spread frosting 
between aud on top of layers. 
FROSTING. 
Two-thirds of a cup of milk, one aud a half 
cup of sugar, butter the size of au egg. Boil 
six or seven minutes, stirring constantly. 
When cold flavor with vauilla and beat with 
a spoon until thick and white. 
CHOCOLATE CAKE. 
Oue cup of sugar, one-half cup of butter, 
one-half cup of milk, two eggs, oue teaspoon¬ 
ful soda, two cups flour, beat and mix choco¬ 
late mixture, stir briskly. 
MIXTURE. 
Mix with one-half cake of chocolate, oue. 
half cup of milk, yelk of one egg, two-thirds 
of a cup of sugar. Mix over the lire till all is 
dissolved, let cool, flavor with vanilla. This 
cake is very nice made in layers and the cara¬ 
mel frosting between and on top of layers. 
MRS, E. L. WESTON. 
CORN BREAD. 
“Corn bread that dyspeetios can cat” is 
made from a pint of rutber coarsely ground 
corn meal, with two tablespoonfulsof the corn 
meal taken out and the same quantity of 
wheat flour substituted. Beat two eggs just 
as light as if you were making a custard, stir 
them into a pint of milk, and then add to the 
flour and meal, beating very hard. Put a 
little salt iu. Have your gem-pans buttered 
after they are hot, and after tilling them let 
them stand a little while on the top of the 
range. 
croton hugs. 
If you are troubled with croton bugs, 
roaches or ants, get a pouud of borax and 
scatter it freely from the lop of your house 
down to the cellar. Let no closet shelf escape, 
but sprinkle It at the back edges of all and 
over the floor, around the surbase, between 
the mattresses aud in every corner imagin¬ 
able. Do not disturb it, but let It lie for a 
time, and you will have immunity from these 
pests. Do not forget to put plenty in all 
water pipes and drains. 
To wash a white silk handkerchief so that it 
will not he stiff, make a suds of tepid water 
and white soap; lay the handkerchief to soak 
twenty minutes, covering it up so that it will 
keep warm. Then wash it with your hands 
and rinse, putting a little blueing into the 
water, which should be warm.

Great Advantage in Letting off the Gas. 
We purchased the No. 3 "Davis Swing Churn” against our judgmeu'. at The earnest solicitation of your 
agents, Messrs. T. B. Everetts Co. Wc had use-1 a barrel churn, aud had decided to purchase a square box 
churn, but rhey Induced us to order the Davis Swing 
Our butter maker was very much opposed to it, and prophesied that we should throw If away. After using 
a few times, he said he would have to give it up that the Davis swing was ahead of anything he’had seen used. 
We think the ventilation, which cannot be got in a revolving churn, is a great advantage In jetting oft the gas. 
We are fully satisfied the grain ami general quality of the buffer is an improvement over anv revolving churn. 
We did a wise ill lug when wc decided to take the Davis Swing Churn L. T. HAZEN, Island View Creamery. 
After a Year's Fat- Find it Best. Makes More Butter tbau the Square Box Churn. 
Being still urged by friends to put In a huudred-gallon Square Box Churn, t did so, and have run it beside 
my No. 9 Davis Swing Churn. I have made repeated tests by mixing the cream thoroughly, and putting half 
into each churn. In every Instance t he Davis Swing Churn has made the most butter. The square Box Churn 
is now-for sale. L. T. HAZEN. Proprietor Island View Creamerv.
