here), salt, pepper, a bunch of parsley, a small 
carrot cut in pieces, and one dozen small but¬ 
ton onions fried in butter; simmer gently for 
two hours; skim the fat from the gravy, 
thicken slightly, and dish. Grape jelly made 
from the grapes raised on the ranch, both red 
and white, as well as red and white wine, also 
home-made, was served with this. 
A famous quail pie of immoderate dimen¬ 
sions graced the table, as it did on several oc¬ 
casions afterward, the beauty of the size be¬ 
ing that one could “ cut. and come again.” 
Bone a number of quail as skillfully as your 
knowledge of this process will permit, and fill 
them with some well-seasoned sausage meat. 
Line the bottom and sides of a large dish or 
mold Cover the paste with a thin layer of 
sausage meat; put in a layer of the quails, an¬ 
other of the meat, and a second of the birds, 
and so on until the dish is full. Let the top 
layer he of the meat, and season the birds 
with salt and pepper. Put on a top of paste, 
attach it to the edge by pressing gently with 
the thumbs and forefingers, and trim tbe edge 
nicely and evenly; egg the surface, make a 
hole in the center and ornament it with leaves 
or fanciful designs cut from the paste. Place 
a ring of paste over the hole to keep it open 
(chimney like) and to preveut the crust from 
cracking; egg again and cook slowly for about 
two hours; remove tbe pie from the oven, let 
it cool and fill with a stroug reduced stock 
made from the bones of the birds, and if possi¬ 
ble a knuckle of veal and a small lieef-boue. 
There were siring beans, sliced raw toma¬ 
toes, delicate whipped potato souffle mot new 
potatoes this time,friend Eunice) crisp celery, 
and tender lettuce,and a plum pudding with al¬ 
monds which hail this added fascination for 
me, that both the almonds and raisins were 
grown, and the former cured on the place. 
Anyone who has a wish to try this pudding 
need only add from one to two cups of blanched 
and chopped almonds (according to the size 
of the pudding) to any of the recipes before 
given in the Rural. To blanch almonds pour 
boiling water over them, cover and set on the 
back of tbe range for a few minutes, drain, 
pour ou cold water ami remove the skin, which 
may be easily done by pressing them between 
the cbumb and finger. They must then be dried 
in a very slow’ oven, or under the stove.

THANKSGIVING, 
iASlIRETROVE 
The wheel of time brings this holiday near 
us again; how are we to observe it is the ques¬ 
tion with many. A little illustrated poem in 
tbe December Wide Awuke, has set me think¬ 
ing. 
An old gray-baired man sits bf fore bis table 
(a box turned up sideways), bis dog sits oppo¬ 
site him, a few r crusts of bread and a bone or 
two are on the table; evidences of the direst 
poverty are all around, yet with a smile ou 
his aged face, he lifts his eyes to heaven and 
says: “Dear Lord, tie thanked for Thanksgiv¬ 
ing Day.” How many of us thiuk of the day 
in this manner? 
To most of us the day means an extra nice 
dinner, and the family all gathered around, 
and when this end is accomplished, we forget 
to thank “the Giver of all good” for pa«t and 
present blessings, and to humbly ask a con¬ 
tinuance of tbe same. Let us have the din¬ 
ner, not too elaborate, turkey with its accom¬ 
panying vegetables or chickens roasted or in 
a pie instead of the turkey. Plum pudding 
or pumpkin pie for dessert and fruits and nuts 
also: but let true thankfulness season all the 
meal and if we have neighbors poorer than our¬ 
selves let us share our blessings with them. 
The Rural teems with excellent recipes or 1 
would give some in detail. aunt em.

We had heard of the cream cheese as made 
by the experienced Mrs. Anderson of Hough- 
ten Dairy before visiting Houghton Farm and 
so had it impressed upon us as one of the 
things wo were to ask questions about. With 
Mr. Valentine’s permission we are thus able 
to give the readers of the R, N. Y. Mrs. 
Anderson’s method of making this delicious 
cheese. Take three quarts of sweet cream 
and the same of new milk warm from the cow. 
If the milk is not warm heat to 62°. Then 
add to each quart of the cream and milk mix¬ 
ture, teu drops of liquid rennet and one tea¬ 
spoonful of whey. This last of course cannot 
be added to the mixture the first time of mak¬ 
ing, but after once making, a small quantity 
of the whey can be bottled and kept in a cool 
place for any length of time. After adding 
the rennet and wbey, stir the mixture for 
about 10 mi mites, then let stand for 24 horn's 
to ferment. Salt to taste, turn into a cheese 
doth and hang up for 24 hours to drain, then 
change the cloth and put under a light press. 
Mrs. Anderson said that this cheese would 
keep fairly well for six to eight daj’s in a dry, 
airy place.

AN ACTUAL FACT, 
A member of the Rural family saw a young 
woman on a steamboat excursion walk up to 
a mirror at one end of thecabiu. and opening 
a dainty haud-hng that she carried, she pro¬ 
duced a toilet putT with which she powdered 
her face as deliberately as if in tbe privacy of 
her own room. She thru turned around and 
as coolly powdered the face of the young mau 
with whom she was in company.

“ ’Tis November” and the year is near its 
close; the harvest is over, the fruits of the 
earth are garnered, and happy is the family 
that can answer the roll, “all here.” Life is 
made up of little things on which hinge our 
happiness or misery. 
The summer is over: we have borne our bur¬ 
den iu the heat of the day, and worked to 
bring about the fruition. Paul has planted, 
A polios watered, but ouly Got! could give the 
increase. Let us give thanks. The word on 
our tongues often means so little and yet it is 
so much. We look forward to the day each 
for his own enjoyment and not as a day of 
thankful prayer. Rut it is possible to have a 
revereut heart even when making or eating 
our turkey and pumpkin pie, and to teach 
our chi Id rou that tire day is something more 
than a gastronomic fete. 
To mothers it is generally the sequel to a 
busy time of preparation, but theu ’tis easy 
to labor for those we love, aud so we bake 
and broil, and boil, and make things pleasant 
iu the home, where the light of love shines. It 
is true I often think the dinners might be 
simpler; so many kinds of pie; such a variety 
of dainties are not uecessary to, but often dis¬ 
turbers of our peace; let there bo more charity 
if less pastry; more thankfulness, if less 
sauce. Better is a diuner ot herbs with a cou- 
tented mind and thankful heart, than the 
stalled ox and a thankless soul. Sea-ons of 
social enjoyment are a tome if happily con¬ 
nected, and at no time better than when the 
autumn has gathered iu all our season’s work. 
And let us remember the poor, the sick and 
the unfortunate at this time, and all those 
whose lives have not been cast in as pleasant 
places as our ow n. And in helpiug them we 
are showing iu the best way the practical 
benefits of lhaukfiiluess.
