To Clean Tin-Ware
The best thing for cleaning tin-ware is common soda; dampen a cloth, dip it in the soda, rub the ware briskly, after which wipe dry.
Iron Rust
Iron rust may be removed by a little salt mixed with lemon-juice; put in the sun, and if necessary use two applications.
Mildew
An old time and effectual remedy for mildew is to dip the stained cloth in butter-milk and lay in the sun.
Oysters Roasted on Chafing-Dish
Take largest oysters, and put in a chafing-dish in their own liquor. Season with red or black pepper, adding plenty of good butter, with a little Worcestershire sauce or walnut catsup. After roasting—taking care not to roast too much—serve on buttered toast.
