Fruit Salad Dressing. — Beat together the yolks of four eggs until light colored and thick ; add gradually one cnpfdl of pow- dered sugar and one-half of a teaspoonfril of salt and continue beating until the sugar is dissolved. Add the strained juice of two lemons and pour over the salad.
Rhubarb Pie. — Line deep dishes with a good paste. Fill each dish with rhubarb cnt rather fine, heaping it in the centre; sprinkle over each five heaping tablespoon- fuls of sugar; if the rhubarb be very young add a teaspoonful of flour. Cover with a top crust, wetting the paste that the two crusts may adhere together. Bake in a moderately qnick oven for from thirty-five to forty minutes.
Watercress Sandwiches. — Pick over, wash and dry the cress, rejecting any large tough stems. Pound it to a pulp. Cream the butter and work into it the prepared cress, using twice as much butter as cress. Spread very thinly on the bread.

Corn Starch from Green Com. — Grate the corn into a tub. Wash all the starch from the cobs as they are finished. Separ- ate the bran from the milky water by using a sieve or colander, then stir the starch wa- ter into a larger bulkof water, say a barrel, and let it settle until clear. This takes much longer than in making of potato- starch. Draw off the water by a piece of hose or siphon. Add more water and re- peat the process again and again nntil the

sediment is clean starch. If it is not cleaned well it is IJkely to ferment in drying. Then spread the starch thinly and dry quickly. If you have plenty of it you will find many uses for it that you did not think of when it was an expensive luxury.
Com Starch from Ripe Corn, — If you have a Vegetarian Society Mill you can make starch at any season of the year and get more lbs. of starch per bushel of com. Soak good, ripe, shelled com for several days in cold running water. If the water be warm the grain will sprout, if it be stand- water the starch is almost certain to get a musty or sonr taste before you are finished with it. When the com is softened grind it wet and proceed as above, and enjoy your fill of puddings, blanc-mange, lemon pies etc. etc. in spite of the monopolies and corporations.

Kdenic Buttermilk. — Put juice of one lemon or citric or tartaric acid in tumbler, add sugar in sufficient quantity to suit your taste. Add teaspoon of fine flotu-; mb smooth ; fill nearly full of water ; stir well together. Add soda enough to neutralize the acid ; stir, and drink, being glad you can have milk without a cow. VEG.

The Nut Butter I have from you is ex- cellent. Do you know of any firm in At- lanta where it can be had? — Mrs. S. A. Albright. Atlanta, Ga.
We frequently have inquiries like the above. We reply that we are not aiming at a large jobbing business. If we were we should be compelled to put the price at re- tail, at or neat the price usually charged by large grocers in this city, viz. 25 cts. for Ao^ pound cans. We prefer to sell direct to consumer at about half that price. This saves the consumer two profits : one for the wholesale house and one for the
retailer. Send orders direct for dozen cans and you will save money even paying ex-
