=Rice Croquettes.=--Boil half a pound of well washed rice, (cost five
cents,) in one quart of cold water, with a level tablespoonful of salt,
half a pint of milk, (cost two cents,) half the yellow rind of a lemon,
or two inches of stick cinnamon, and two ounces of sugar, (cost two
cents,) for half an hour, after it begins to boil, stirring it
occasionally to prevent burning; take it from the fire, stir in one at a
time, the yolks of three eggs, (cost three cents,) and return to the
fire for ten minutes to set the egg; then spread the rice on an oiled
platter, laying it about an inch thick, and let it get cool enough to
handle. When it is cool enough turn it out of the platter upon some
cracker dust spread on the table, cut it in strips one inch wide and
three inches long, roll them into the shape of corks, dip them first in
beaten egg, then in cracker-dust, and fry them golden brown in plenty of
smoking hot fat; lay them on a napkin for a moment to free them from
grease, put them on a dish, dust a little powdered sugar over them, and
serve them. They will cost, including the last mentioned ingredients,
about twenty cents.

=Fruit Tarts.=--Stew ten cents worth of fruit and four ounces of sugar
together; make some pastry according to the directions in the receipt

up a rim of paste around each; fill them with the stewed fruit, and bake
them about three quarters of an hour in a moderate oven; two good sized
tarts can be made for twenty-five cents; and the fruit can be varied to
suit the season of the year, and the taste of the eaters.

=Rice Cakes.=--Sift together six ounces each of rice and wheat flour,
(cost about seven cents,) rub into them four ounces of lard or meat
drippings, (cost four cents,) four eggs, (cost four cents,) and
sufficient milk to make a thick cake-batter; beat it thoroughly, pour it
into a greased cake-pan, and bake it one hour. A good sized cake will
cost about fifteen cents.

=Rock Cakes.=--Mix well together four ounces each of butter and sugar,
(cost twelve cents,) add four ounces of well washed currants, (cost
three cents,) one pound of flour, (cost four cents,) and three eggs,
(cost three cents;) beat all these ingredients thoroughly, roll them
into little balls, or rocks, and bake them on a buttered baking pan. A
good supply will cost about twenty-two cents.

=Caraway Cake.=--Beat to a cream f
