QUESTIONS ANSWERED. 
Washing Fluid. 
Mrs. J. A. Gregory , N. Y., says: “In the 
Rural of Nov. 9th, there is a recipe for wash¬ 
ing fluid. Is the soda-ash there given the same 
as sal-soda ? It also says to soak the clothes 
in cold water over night. Does it mean with 
or without soap ? I am interested in anything 
that will make washing easier.” 
Ana.—1. Yes. 2. Without soap. 
Curing Beef Tongues. 
J. G. McGuire, Tenn., says: “Will you 
please publish a recipe for curing beef 
tongues?” 
Ans.— For a dozen tongues, make a brine 
strong enough to bear up an egg ; add a pint 
of molasses and three or four red peppers; 
bring to the boiling point; skim aud let cool; 
pack the tongues in a large jar, aud when the 
brine is cold pour it over them; put on a 
weight to keep them under and let remain teu 
or twelve days ; then take out, drain aud hang 
to smoke for two or three days ; dry moderate¬ 
ly and put away in paper sacks. 
When wanted for the table, boll five or six 
hours, or until tender : let cool iu the liquor in 
which they were boiled; skin and serve iu 
slices as thin as a wafer. 
Mending Rubber Boots. 
L. E. B., SI. Jo Go., Mich., says: “I wish to ] 
know how to make a preparatiou with which 
to mend rubber boots and to fasten patches on 
to them 
Ass.—The best cement we know of for that 
purpose is made by dissolving four ounces of 
pure India rubber and an eighth of an ounce of 
powdered asphaltum with five or six times the 
quantity of benzine. Put together in an old 
tin can, cover tightly, and let stand three ox- 
four days; then work it well with a stick, add¬ 
ing benzine if necessary, so that the mixture 
will be of about the consistency of honey. 
Scrape the polish from the rubber; apply the 
cement to each part; let dry half an hour; put 
on another coat; let dry ten minutes when the 
parts may be pressed together.

THE MARKETS. 
PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS 
NEW YORK, Saturday, Jan. 4,1S79. 
The holidays and extremely cold weather have 
tended to make quiet markets In nearly all case*. 
The trade expects a marked improvement for Janu¬ 
ary sates, compared with the past dull December. 
Dairy products, poultry and vegetables seem to be 
up to buyers' lludt in tno price-view, anil sellers will 
be contented if stock* of many Items can be made 
to run down at current nominal rales. It sevens 
likely tbai <e ahull depend very much upon home 
outlets, lienee supplies have gone largely abroad, 
and as tunes iu Kuropu do not indicate tree con¬ 
sumption, exporters will operate cautiously. Raii- 
T oad suuulies at the moment are moderate, owing to 
severe welfther at the West and nearer, and Unit 
fact i* favorable, as ihe market Can start with a 
lighter movement whuu demands resume. Butter
