PICKLES, ETC.
■nkJ«R Cucumber PicKle.—
g®® Take small cucumbers,
wash and drain. Scald in hot
■HMH vinegar until hot through;
pack in gallon or half gallon earthen or
glass jars, and pour over them fresh vine
gar in which has been scalded ore small
green pepper pod, teaspoon of salt, same,
each, of mustard ssed and grated horse
radish, to each quart. Pour over boiling
hot and seal, or screw lids down.
I used to scald first in salt water, but
find the salt added to the vinegar is just
as good. To seal other than the screw
tops I use putty mixed as for putting in
window glass. It is much handier to put
on or take off, and keeps as well as sealing
wax. In using either these or rubber, the
jar nrust be wiped perfectly dry, or it will
fail to stick. A knife should be run
around the jar and up and down in the
fruit to let out any bubbles of air. Lids
should fit down smoothly, and rubber
bands bethick and even. It is well to
get new rubbers every few years. If thin,
I sometimes use two.
Sweet Tomato Pickle.—Slics half
a peck of green tomatoes on a slaw cutter.
Pour over it one quart of water in which a
teacup of salt has been dissolved. Let it
stand two or three hours, then drain in a
sack until quite dry. Take one quart of
best vinegar, tablespoonful each of cloves,
pepper, spice, mustard, and cinnamon, and
one pound of best brown sugar. Bring it
to a boil, put in the tomatoes, and boil ten
minutes. Then simmer until the tomatoes
can be pierced with a straw. Put in ajar
and cover with a plate. It is ready for
the table wh§n cold.
Sweet Apple Pickle.—To eight pounds
of fruit take four pounds of sugar, one
quart of vinegar, two ounces each of whole
cloves and stick cinnamon, and one-half
ounce of ginger root. Boil vinegar and
spices together ten minutes. Put in ap
ples so they will not crowd. Boil till ten
der. Take out carefully and place in a
hot jar. Boil more unt’l all are cooked.
Then pour the boiling pickle over them.
In a week pour off and scald the vinegar
again. I seal everything. I use stone
jars, from half gallon to three gallons, for
butter, preserves, sweet pickle, &c. The
smaller sizes are handiest. lam sure my
fruit will keep, and it does not take so
much sugar or boiling, which makes it
more healthful, and I think more palata
ble. Peaches, plums, green musk melons,
and melon rinds can be made into sweet
pickle. Lemon, juice and rind, cooked
with water melon rind, makes a delicious
addition to it, either as a pickle or pre
serve.
I will add a recipe for Vienna Biscuit,
nice for tea or breakfast. At night soak
one-half teacup of good yeast, scald one
quart of sweet milk, and pour over enough
flour to thicken it. When cool, add yeast
and cover. In the morning add one pint
of warm water, one-half cup sugar, one
half cup of fresh lard or butter. Mix and
let it rise, then roll out an inch thick.

Spread with soft butter. Cut out with a
large biscuit cutter. Fold one half over
the other and place in a pan. When light,
bake in a slow oven half an hour. White
sugar sprinkled thickly over the butter
makes a variety.

Chop a quart of either, fine. ' Make a rich
biscuit dough. 801 l out thin and even,
say half an inch thick. Spread over it
the apples or rhubarb. If the latter, two
cups of sugar should be strewn over it. If
apples, sweeten according to acidity.
Then roll it up and place in a large drip
ping pan. Pour over a pint of boiling
wat«r, and cook slowly until done through.
Serve with sweetened cream.
To Coox New Potatoes: If they are
sliced half an inch thick and fried they are
more mealy and healthful than when sliced
thin. They are nice cooked whole on
beans, or in a steamer; just before they
are done, lift them carefully out and place
in hot grease to brown. Have the grease
sizzing hot; turn them and serve as soon
as brown. The beauty and healthfulness
of a potato is in being cooked just done,
but not a minute longer, and never let
them set and simmer in liquid. Do not
leave them covered after they are done.
If you must wait, put them on a dish and
set in an open oven to keep hot. When
boiled in their jackets I peel them once
round, and salt the water; they come out
more mealy than when the skin is un
broken.
To Cook Tomatoes : Have two table
spoonfuls of hot butter. Peel and slice
one quart of ripe tomatoes; put into the
butter and cook in their own juice. Take
half a teacup ofcream, and one tablespoon
ful of flour ; beat smoothly and add to the
tomatoes; sweeten first, if sugar is liked
with them. Let them boil up well, add
pepper and salt, and serve a dish fit for
anyone.

COLLECTED RECIPES.
ESCALOPED TOMATOES.
Put in a buttered baking dish alternate
layers of sliced tomatoes and bread crumbs,
with bits of butter, chopped onion, pepper,
salt and sugar on each layer, finishing with
bread crumbs; bake in a hot oven until
very brown.
*******
Tomatoes are said to be an excellent
remedy for indigestion, and are cooling to
the blood. When they are to be cooked they
can be scalded and the skins will come off
easily; but when they are to tie eaten raw,
remove the skins with a sharp knife with
out scalding. When tomatoes are cook
ed, sugar should always be added; a slight
flavor of onion is considered an improve
ment by some. Sliced raw tomatoes are
also greatly improved by the addition of
sugar.
chili sauce.
Twelve large, ripe tomatoes, four ripe or
three green peppers, two onions, two table
spoonfuls of salt, two of sugar, one of cin
namon, three cupfuls of vinegar; peel the
tomatoes and onions, chop them, separate
ly, very fine, add the chopped peppers
with the other ingredients, and boil one
and a half hours. Bottle the sauce and it
will keep a long time. Stone jugs are bet
ter than glass cans. One quart of canned
tomatoes may be used instead of the ripe
ones.
TOMATO CATSUP.
One gallon of tomatoes, a quart of ap
ple vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of ground
black pepper, three of salt, three of Eng
lish mustard, two of mixed spices, a tea
cup of onion, a teaspoonful of cayenne;
boil slowly half the day, stirring it often;
strain, and bottle when cold; use new
corks Boil in a covered stew-pan. Never
use a copper or brass vessel; iron lined
with porcelain is best.
ONIONS WITH CREAM SAUCE.
Pour boiling water over the onions and
remove the skins; put them in boiling wa
ter with a teaspoonful of salt, and boil
them rapidly ten minutes; change the wa
ter and boil them until tender. Make a
sauce by melting a tablespoonful of butter
in a sauce pan, add a teaspoonful of
flour, mix well and pour in a half pint of
milk, stir until it boils, add salt and pep
per to suit the taste, drain the onions and
put them in the sauce. Let them boil up
once; serve hot.
***** * *
Onions are a tonic, a stimulant and a
good expectorant. They are both sudo
rific and soporific; they promote digestion,
and are very soothing to the mucous mem
brane. They have been used with great
efficiency in cases of inflammation of the
stomach. It is one of the most healthful,
nutritious and useful vegetables we have,
and children should be encouraged to eat
them both raw and cooked.

CREAMED SWEETBREADS.
Soak the sweetbreads in cold water for
half an nour or an hour; remove the mem
brane, cover with boiling water and sim
mer for ten or twenty minutes; drain
them, cover with cold water and let stand
for five minutes. Bub one large table
spoonful of flour and one of butter to a
cream; add a little pepper and salt and
celery salt; pour on one cup of cream and
boil five minutes. Cut the parboiled sweet
breads in squares the size of dice, and stir
thoroughly into the cream. Put it into
shells and sprinkle with bread crumbs;
put a small piece of butter in the center of
each; bake ten minutes and serve hot.
LEMON CHEESE FILLING FOR CAKE.
A coffee-cupful of sugar, two tablespoon
fuls of butter, two eggs, and the juice of
two lemons; beat these ingredients together,
and boil until the consistency of jelly.
For orange cake use oranges instead of
lemons.
*******
It seems that we can successfully fight
cholera with oranges and lemons. The
imperial health office, of Berlin, has issued
an announcement to the effect that oranges
and lemons are both fatal to the cholera
bacillus. Placed in contact with the cut
surface of the fruit, the bacteria survive
but a few hours. They remain active for
some time longer on the uninjured rind of
the fruit, but even then they die within
twenty-four hours. The destructive prop
erty as regards the cholera bacteria is sup
posed to be due to the large amount of acid
contained in those fruits. In consequence
of this quality, the health officer considers
it unnecessary to place any restrictions on
the transit and sale of these fruits, even
if it should be ascertained that they come
from places where cholera is prevalent at
the time. Not a single instance was noted
in which cholera was disseminated by
either oranges or lemons.
HOW TO BAKE APPLES.
Wash and core a suitable number of
sweet or sour apples of good flavor and
equal size, place them in a baking dish,
fill the hollow in each apple with sugar,
pour into the dish enough water to reach
one-third the depth of the apples, and bake
them. If they cook too long they lose
their shape, therefore they must be careful
ly watched. No rule can be given as to
time, because some apples require much
more cooking than others. When the ap
pies can be easily pierced with a broom
splint, remove them carefully to the serv
ing dish and pour their juice over them.
If they are to be served as dessert, when
they are cold spread about them whipped
cream or stiffly beatened and sweetened
whites of eggs, allowing three whites to
eight apples. This simple, but delicate
dessert, is to be eaten with cake.
SCALLOPED CABBAGE.
Chop a small head of cabbage, not very
fine, and put it in boiling water to scald.
Boil four eggs haid, and when cold, chop
fine. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter
in a saucepan, and add the same amount of
flour. When mixed smoothly, add, by de
grees, a pint of milk, and stir until it boils,
then add the chopped eggs, a teaspoonful
of salt and a little pepper. Drain the cab
bage, place it in a pudding dish and pour
the sauce over it. Grate bread over the
top, add small bits of butter, and bake to a
very delicate brown tint in a moderate
oven.
