Mrs. J. E. S., Idaho, asks for a recipe 
for mixed sweet pickles. I am sending 
the following which is a great favorite 
Avith all who haA'e tried it: One quart 
green cucumbers sliced. Do not peel. 
Measure after they are sliced. One 
large onion, sliced; one large pepper, 
.sliced; put in salt water. Let stand 
three hours, then drain. One pint of 
vinegar, one-half teaspoon of mustard 
seed, one cup light broAvn sugar. Let this 
come to a boil before adding cucumbers, 
onion and pepper. After adding cucum¬ 
bers, etc., let come to a boil again. .lust 
before taking from the fire add one quar¬ 
ter teaspoonful turmeric. This will make 
one quart. M. E. il.
