Two quarts small cucumbers, two quarts small onions, two cauliflowers, six green peppers; cut all, and put in salt and water four hours; then scald, and drain.

PASTE.- Six tablespoonfuls mustard, one tablespoonful turmeric, one and one-half cups sugar, one cup flour.

Mix all well together; add cold vinegar to wet it up; pour into two quarts of boiling vinegar.

Pour this on pickles; mix thoroughly, and put in cans.

PICKLED ONIONS.

Peel small white onions, and boil them in milk and water ten minutes; drain off the milk and water, and pour over the onions scalding spiced vinegar.

PICKLED PEACHES.

Wipe ripe but hard peaches until free from down; stick a few cloves into each one; lay in cold spiced vinegar. In three months, they will be nicely pickled, and retain much of their natural flavor.
