-MOTHER GOOSE.

FOR SIX HUNDRED PICKLES. MRS. M. E. WRIGHT.

heat boiling hot, and pour over pickles; let stand twenty-four hours;

then take out, and wipe dry. Scald vinegar, and put over; let stand

twenty-four hours; then pour off, and to fresh vinegar add one quart

brown sugar, two large green peppers, one-half pint white mustard

seed, six cents worth ginger root, six cents worth cinnamon and

allspice, one tablespoon celery seed, alum size butternut. Scald,

pour over, and tie up in jars.

CUCUMBER PICKLES. MRS. H. T. VAN FLEET.

Pour enough boiling water over pickles to cover them, and let stand

twenty-four hours; measure water so that you may know what quantity of

vinegar to use. Take them out of water, wiping each one separately

with dry towel; place in close layers in stone jar. To one gallon of

vinegar, add one cup of salt, two tablespoons of pulverized alum, same

of cloves, allspice, mustard, and cinnamon; put all in vinegar, and

let come to boil; pour this over pickles. When cool, place plate

over, and add a weight. Pickles prepared in this way will keep nicely

a year.
