if! THE .PROGRESSIVE FARMER, JANUARY 19, 1887. 6 1 SI 4 i ! i : ?octnu A QUIET STREAM. A quiet stream Flowed through a level meadow all day long Its voice was heard in murmurous mel- That half a whisper seemed, and half a song Yet no one paused to hear its harmony, Or marked the brightness of its sunny gleam. But where its course Was half arrested by the rugged stone It swelled and bubbled till with new born power It leaped the barrier, all its weakness gone Its spray ascending in a silver shower, Its onward way pursued with added force. Its beauty then The artist sang, the poet sang until Came many to admire this pretty scene Half marveling at the strength of such a rill A silver ribbon parting banks of green, Swift as an arrow, deeper than their ken. So we in life Unconscious of our strength may pass along, Our silent efforts vain our labor lost Content to rest unnoticed by the throng, "Whose paths in life ourdaily course have crossed, Till trouble comes to rouse us into strife. Then we possess Through labor, power from pain and weariness We learn the lesson that will make us strong, Endow us with capacity to bless The world will listen to the stirring song Born of a soul replete with earnestness. Francis Lee Robinson QUAKER PUDDING. Grate i small loaf of stale bread. Add i o it six well beaten eggs and half a tablespoonful of rice flour. Stir into it a quart of milk. Add essence of lemon and nutmeg, and boil two hours, or bake in a buttered pan. TO BROIL HAM NICELY. Slice the meat from the ham raw, as thin as you can, then put it into a pan of cold water; set it on the stove in a stewpan and let it come to a boil; then have your griddle hot, and broil the meat with a little butter dropped into the pan and a plentiful sprinkling of black' pepper. CABBAGE SALAD. One-half pint of vinegar, one tablespoonful of made mustard, one teaspoonful of black pepper, 1 tea spoonfuls of salt, butter the size of an egg and boil all together; one head of cabbage cut fine and mixed with one cup of sweet cream and the yolks of three eggs, pour over the mixture when cool; beat the whites of the eggs cut stiff and stir in last. JELLIED CHICKEN. Boil a chicken till tender, take off the skin, cut the meat in small pieces, taking out the bones, skim all the grease off the liquor in a pot, mix a tablespoonful of corn starch with a little water, rub smooth and let it boil up'gopd, season well with salt and pepper. Boil eggs hard, peel and slice, lining the bottom and sides of the crock with them, then pour into this the prepared chicken and set in a cold place to harden. Turn out when cold. 3IINCED MUTTON WITH POACHED EGG. The cold mutton left from a din ner may be converted into a very appetizing dish as follows: Cut the meat into thin slices, and cut these fine. Melt an ounce of butter in a frying pan, cut up a slice of onion .and fry it in the butter; then remove it, add the meat, a little salt and pepper and soup or water to moist en' it ; when thoroughly warmed through, put spoonfuls of it neatly on toast; on top of the meat should be placed a poached egg. , . TEA CAKE. Bread crumbs may be made into teacake by the addition of the same things that would make flour into a teacake. Mix two ounces and a half of crumbs with four ounces of melted butter and to them add the yolks of six eggs and a teaspoonful of grated lemon peel. Two ounces of chopped raisins, a few blanched, and last of all, the whites of the eggs must be added to the compound It should be baked in a carefully papered tin, and it is well to score it into squares before putting it in the oven. APPLE MERINGUE. Prepare six large, tart apples for sauce. While hot put in a piece of butter the size of an egg. When cold, add a cup of fine cracker crumbs, the yolks of three eggs well beaten, a cup of sweet milk or cream and a little salt, sugar and nutmeg to taste. Bake in a large plate, with an under-crust of rich paste and a rim of puff paste. When done take the whites of the eggs, half a teacup of white sugar and a few drops of essence of lemon ; beat to a stiff froth, pour over and put back into the oven to brown lightly. SWEEDISII PUDDING. One-half pound of flour, one-half pound of butter, half pound of sugar, eight eggs, a little salt. Rub the sugar and butter to a cream ; add the yolks well beaten, the salt, flour and lastly the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Cook by steaming them in a steamer about hour. Put the batter three-fourths of an inch deep into teacups. The batter will fill the cups, turn them out on a hot platter. Serve immediately with a clear brandy sauce in the bottom of the dish. Half the above quantity will be suf ficient for a small family. POTATO ROLLS. Boil six good sized potatoes with their jackets on, take them out with a skimmer, drain them and squeeze them with a towel to insure their being mealy and dry, then remove the skin, mash them until perfectly free from lumps, add a tablespoon ful of butter, the yolksof three eggs, a pint of sweet milk and a table spoonful of yeast should be beaten in with them when they are cool enough so that the yeast will not be in . danger of being scalded. Beat in just enough flour to make a stiff dough and when this rises make it in the shape of small cakes, let them rise the same as the biscuit and bake a delicate brown. These are nice for breakfast or supper. TO IRON SHIRTS. Iron the entire shirt first, then pass a cloth wrung from cold water over the bosom, lay under it a bosom board, draw the linen per fectly straight and take care to leave no wrinkles; if you iron them in you have to moisten the spot and it rarely looks well after. Be care ful to raise any plaits there may be with your iron so that it does not remain plastered to the under sur face; and above all things iron it until it is dry. This ironing each article until it is dry is very impor tant, as it gives that smooth, crisp feeling to linen which shows the dif ference between good and bad iron ing. If any article is put to air while damp it will dry rough. FRUIT CAKE. One pound of sifted flour, one pound of sugar, one pound of butter, one teacupful of molasses, one table spoonful each of ground cloves, cin namon, mace and nutmeg, two gills of brandy, ten eggs, whites and yolks beaten separately, four pounds of raisins stoned and chopped, four pounds of currants washed and dried, one pound of citron cut in thin slips, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little warm water. Cream the butter, and add the sugar and yolks of eggs; add half the flour, then the whites and the remainder of the flour with the spice and mo lasses. Stir in the fruit, which should have been lightly dredged with flour, and bake in deep pans very slowly for three hours. At least three layers of thick paper should be in the pans and the top of the loaves must be kept covered to prevent burning. This long slow baking is the chief point on which depends the black effect desired. The franking privilege was abolished in Great Britain in 1840, and in the United States in 1873. The discontinuance of the privilege saved to the Government of this country $2,250,000 annually. Christian Kauch was employed ten years upon the bronze eques trian statue of Frederick the Great, which was erected in the Unter den Linden, Berlin, in 1851. The statue is seventeen feet high, and stands upon a pedestal twenty-five feet high. 3 FOR THE FARMERS, FOR THE LADIES, FOR THE BOYS AND FOR THE GIRLS. The Progressive Farmer is a live, and as its name indicates, a progressive paper, devoted to the interests of the farmers of North Carolina, and will be hllea each week with twenty-five columns of reading matter, editorial, correspondence from leading farmers and others, farm notes for the farmer, household receipts tor for the housekeeper, stories for young and old, miscellaneous matter, mirth, wit, &c, for all. . . . ,. It will be kept up to the full standard of modern agricultural journalism. We propose to make it a paper that North Carolina farmers may not only read with profit, but one of which they may be proud. We hope in the near future to see it become a weekly visitor m the households of thousands of farmers. m .
