THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER DECEMBER 8, - ' . i ' . a - h ' I. V . J. - s 4 . V .i . .. 6 OUR WEDDING TRIP. Our wedding day, dear John's and mine At last, at last had come: .. . When we as two should cease to be, 1 And love and live as one. How eagerlywe talked itbout ; i.j The places where we'd go k y . All maiden fea wag lulled to rest; We loved each other so. The words were said that made us one We wept our last good-bys ; O'er Summer seas we sailed and sailed To lands with bluer skies. , . Where Arno's waters swiftly slip 'Neath Ponte Vecchio's stones; Where Sante Croee's marble saints . . Watch o'er her honored bones. Where gleam the gems of art divine On church and palace walls ; Where on the ear the Sistine chant Like Seraph music falls. Across fair Naples' azure bay, 1 Where Capri's smiling shore, Woos those who love to feast for aye. Never to wander more. r 5 ' ' ! Through all that land of art-and song, s Where love holds sway supreme, We roamed and-, (juaffed life's .richest 5 r ;drauilit ? - r ry: ' H And lived as in a dream.' Was this indeed our wedding trip? No. Only what we talked,: We went from mother's house o John's, And John and I both walked. Sunday Mercury. , flouodmUl. LIGHT AND PUFFY ICING. White of one eg beaten to a stiff froth, beat, in gradually a' quarter ot a pound of powdered sugar, with not quite a half teaspoonful of bak ing powder mixed with it, flavor to taste. Nice for4the top of any baked pudding, whether to - be served in what it h buked in or in sauceis. TOMATO CATSUP. Twelve quarts of ripe tomatoes, wash and cut up in the preserving kettle without any . water; when cooked strain through a fine sieve, or a cloth will do, so that the seeds do not pass through. Return the liquor to th'e kettle, add tb'reetable spoonfuls of salt, two tabTespooTifuls of ground, cinnamon, one tablespoon- ful of ground cloves, onetetispoon ful of red1 pepper and pne pin6f vinegar.

OLD FASHIONED ELECTION CAKE. ' ' This is made ; of four pounds of floury three fourths pound of butter four eggs, one pound of j sugar and one-half pirit ofi"gbbd yeaM. " Wet it with milkas' soft f as it; can be moulded 'on a . boaixJ. Spice with' one nutmeg, two heaping table spoonfuls allspice and three heaping tablespOonfuls ofcinnambn. Put it over hot" water to rise, then "put it in the oven, cut the' loaves with , a sharp knife just through the crust lengthwise and crosswise, then. to a well beaten egg add as mudh' mblasi ses, and rub this over tthe. loaves before baking. ' When done take them out and rub the molasses and egg over the tops of, the loaves again and set them back, into, the oven about. a minute. The xalve is better after it is several days old. .ROAST TURKEY. , , A turkey weighing;not more than eight or nine pounds (young) is the best. Wash and clean thorough ly, wiping dry as moisture nvill spoil the stuffing: Take 'onVsmair loaf bf bread grated fine, rub into it a piece of butter the size of an egg, one. small teaspoonful f pepper and one of salt, sage if liked. Hub all together and filL onlytho breast of the T tur key, se(wibg lipu&o that the "stuffing s cannot cook out. Always put .the giblets under the side of the fowl so they wilJjiDlTdry up.V Rubsalt"ahd pepper on , the outide,pirtintothe dripping pari, with one teacupful of water, basting often .turning,it till brown all over. Bake about three . ..fi-'-.ti 7 hours. Having left in the chopping bowl a little t stuffing take , out the giblets and eh op fine. After taking out the turkey put in a large table spoon v b fl o u r ; ' s t i r u n t i K b ro w 1 1 . Put the gibbets in the "gravy ; stir good and dish. ( , f . ., , . . . CHOWCHOW pickles. Half a peck- of green tomatoes, twelve cucumbers ope dozen green peppers, twelve J la rge pnions, ftwo heads: (it cabbage, jo nej pjntjpf stiiall. oniiinsjone" pint of scraped horse radish, half a pint of white mustard seed, half teacup of ground pepper one ounce celery seed, half-ounce1 of cinnamon, and one ounce of tumeric. Slice tomatoes, onions and cabbage as for coarse slaugh, cut cucumbers lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and let them stand over night.' In the morning strain off-the brine, put therii Jn vinegar and water and mix all the spices well through them Then boil 1J gallons of vinegar, and pour over it three mornings in suc cession, using the same vinegar each time. The third morning mix oil and mustard together and stir through the pickle well, after the vinegar is coldj otherwise the oil will become rancid. Put a pound of brown sugar in the vinegar the last time it is boiled. ' k r . I soIe uses of an egg. t i t i i For5 burns arid scalds-nothing is more soothing than the white of an egg which may be poured over the wound. 5 It is softer a1 a varnish than collodion, and being always at hand,can be easily applied; j It is "also more cooling than the sweet oil and cotton which was formerly sup posed to be the surest application to allay the smarting pain. The egg is considered to be one of the best of remedies for dysentery. Beaten up slightly with or without sugar, and; swallowed at a gulp, it tends byits emollient qualities, to lessen the inflammation of the stomach and intestines, and by form ing a transient coating on these organs, to enable nature to resume her healthful sway over a diseased body. Two, or at most three, eggs per day would be all that is required in ordinary cases; and since egg is not merely medicine but food as well, the lighter the diet otherwise and the quieter the pationt is kept the more certain and rapid is the recovery. TO CLEAN STEEL KNIVES. Havcli smooth piece of board and bath" brick." Eub the brick on the board, which is better than to scrape it with a knife ft be rubbing grinds the brick easily and quickly 'into fincpowder. Now hold the knife firmly byUh6jhat-and rub it swiftly from T'ertdjbfnhc board to the btfier" (notTa Is usulj;i7lone'ljy push frig it tfe and from'ybift) There issom"eYCJncleaning knives in i this way' but briee you are used to t you .wilr be repaid by the fact jth a t i th ey al way s , have.al brll li an t polish like a new knife and are always sharp. The first time knives are.so cleanerd they may take some time b6foVffhey are the same degree ofbrTglitliess all over; freeing them from all. stain first with sapono will help ; then the blade must be held lightly but evenly on the board. There is no hard labor about it, only atveasy swinging of the arm back and forth ." After once "cleaning "in this way, if done every day, there will be no further trouble. When the knives are brilliant and without any, dark shadows, dust them- off with a very dry duster (do not wash them,) taking care to free the han dles from every trace of brick dust. A HINT TO MISTRESSES. , Find -fault, when you must find fault, in' private, if possible, and some time after the offense rather than at the time. The blamed ones are less inclined to resist when they are . b 1 H'bl ed " w i thbut w i t n esses; Hot h parties are calmer, and the accused person may be struck with the for bearance of the accuser, who has seen the fault and watched for a private and propertime for mention ing it.
