putting in two quarts ofj^es and filling up The Queen Cook Booh 247 with water, let boil and soak three hours. While hot empty it out and scrape it clean with an iron spoon. It will easily peel off. To Clean Moldy Jugs. Wash clean with ashes and soapsuds, rinse well, fill w-ith hot water, put in a teaspoon of carbolic acid, set it away from sight where no one will see it for a few hours, as it is a deadly poison. Then empty it and wash and rinse well and it will be as sweet as if it had not been tainted. Ropy Milk. When the milk is ropy there is probably inflamma- tion of the udder. The milk is acid, and becomes clotted; this is a conditional defect arising from dis- eased blood. An authority writes, give a dose of twelve ounces of Epsom salts, and before milking in- ject by a S3rringe, one-fourth of a pint of solution of carbonate of soda into the teat, and after fifteen minutes milk it out. Dissolve one-fourth of a tea- spoon of soda in one-half cup of warm' water. Care of Canaries. Clean the cage thoroughly every morning, and accus- tom them to plenty of light and company, but not to sudden noises; do not hang the cage in a draft. Give it clean water for its bath every morning. Feed it with mixed canary seed, a piece of bread and occasionally spread it with a little butter and sprinkle a very little red pepper on it, give it a lump of sugar, a cuttle bone, apple, a little sand in bottom of cage, and in the summer chick weed. If at any time the bird is 248 The Queen Cook Book hoarse, give it a piece of fat salt pork and tee how he will enjoy it, and listen for the result. If he ap- pears dumpy riemember the bread and butter with the sprinkle of red pepper. If kept perfectly clean no vermin will come to them, but if you only clean them twice a week there is danger. If you are so unfortunate as to have these pests clean thoroughly, take the cage to pieces, boil the perches, then put in a lump of sugar; they will bury themselves in it, and also a little bit of cotton on each end of perch to attract those that still remain on the bird. Remove and burn it and the sugar daily and clean the same way and they will be gone soon. Never allow any one to tease a bird. Pure Unfermented Wine. Use perfectly ripe grapes
