Of  all  appeals— although 

I  grant  the  power  of  pathos  and  of  gold, 
Of  beauty,  flattery,  threats,  a  shilling— no 

Method's  more  sure  at  moments  to  take  hold 
Of  the  best  feelings  of  mankind,  which  grow 

More  tender,  as  we  every  day  behold, 
Than  that  all-softening,  overpowering  knell, 
The  Tocsin  of  the  soul— the  dinner  bell. 

—Byron.

PERPETUAL  YEAST-Mrs.  Briggs 

A  quart  preserving  can  is  the  most  convenient  thing  to  start 
and  to  keep  this  yeast  in.  To  begin  a  can  of  this  perpetual 
yeast,  dissolve  a  compressed  yeast  cake  in  a  quarter  of  a  cup  of 
lukewarm  potato  water — that  is,  the  water  in  which  the  potatoes 
for  dinner  are  cooked.  Fill  a  quart  can  of  glass  half  full  of  luke- 
warm potato  water.  Add  half  a  cup  granulated  sugar  to  it,  and 
when  this  is  dissolved  add  the  quarter  of  a  cup  of  dissolved 
yeast.  Stir  well  and  set  the  can  containing  the  yeast  in  a 
moderately  warm  place,  but  not  where  it  will  be  heated  percep- 
tibly, and  let  it  stand  until  the  whole  is  very  light.  Seal  up  the 
can  and  the  day  before  you  are  ready  to  make  bread,  fill  the  can 
full  of  lukewarm  potato  water  and  add  another  half  cup  of  sugar. 
Let  the  can  stand  for  about  twenty-four  hours.  Beat  the  foam- 
ing white  yeast  and  use  a  pint,  or  half  the  can,  for  four  small 
or  three  large  loaves  of  bread.  Use  as  much  lukewarm  water 
as  you  do  of  yeast,  and  mix  the  bread  at  once,  kneading  it 
thoroughly.  Seal  up  the  can  of  yeast,  set  it  away  and  a  day  be- 
fore the  yeast  is  needed  fill  up  the  can  again  with  lukewarm 
potato  water,  in  which  the  potatoes  were  boiled,  and  a  half  cup 
sugar,  and  it  is  ready  for  use  again  when  it  is  risen. 

GRAHAM  BREAD -Mrs.  Baldwin 

Stir  into  a  quart  of  water  (warm  in  winter  and  cold  in  sum- 
mer) enough  wheat  flour  to  make  a  soft  batter,  also  a  cup  of 
yeast.  Let  rise  over  night.  In  the  morning  add  salt,  one-half 
tea  cup  molasses,  one  teaspoon  soda  in  cup  of  boiling  water  and 
enough  Graham  flour  to  make  batter  thick  enough  to  pour  into 
well  greased  tins.  Let  rise  very  light  and  bake  in  moderate  oven.

shortening  have  been  thoroughly  mixed,  flour  the  bread-board,  lay 
dough  on  it  and  beat  it  with  rolling  pin  until  it  blisters  and  cracks 
loudly.  This  beating  will  occupy  at  least  one-half  hour.  When 
the  blisters  are  abundant,  tear  off  pieces  of  dough  as  large  as 
an  egg,  mold  with  hand  in  form  of  a  biscuit.  Prick  the  top  of 
each  biscuit  with  fork  and  bake  in  moderate  oven.

TREMONT  HOUSE  ROLLS— Mrs.  A.  Faught

in  the  middle  and  put  into  it  one  tablespoon  of  sugar,  butter 
about  the  size  of  an  egg,  one  pint  of  boiled  milk  and  one  teacup- 
ful  of  yeast.  Do  not  stir,  but  put  them  together  and  knead  fif- 
teen minutes.  Set  in  cool  place  for  six  hours  and  then  roll  out 
about  one-half  inch  thick  and  cut  with  a  biscuit  cutter.  Moisten 
one  edge  with  butter,  and  fold  together  like  rolls;  lay  in  the  pan

spoons sugar  into  your  milk,  then  put  all  into  the  center  of  flour. 
Let  it  stand  several  hours  until  foaming,  then  mix  in  all  the  flour 
cover  and  set  away  over  night.  In  morning  knead  it  down  and 
set  to  rise  again.  Roll  out  not  too  thin,  spread  over  with  butter, 
and  cut  in  rounds  lapping  one  edge.  Do  not  place  the  rolls  near 
together  in  the  pan.  Let  them  rise  about  two  hours,  then  bake 
in  quick  oven  about  twenty  minutes.

DELICIOUS  BREAD-Mrs.  J.  W.  Mitchell 

One  quart  flour,  one-half  cup  sugar,  two  teaspoons  baking- 
powder  sifted  together  dry.  Rub  in  piece  of  butter  the  size  of 
an  egg.  Add  yolks  of  two  or  three  eggs  and  milk  enough  to

HOT  CROSS  BUNS— Mrs.  E.  S.  Denner 

Sift  into  a  bowl  one  quart  of  flour,  half  a  cup  of  sugar,  and  a

half-pint  of  milk,  warmed;  add  to  the  dry  ingredients  with  the 
well-beaten  yolks  of  two  eggs,  and  half  a  good  yeast  cake  dis- 
solved in  water,  half  a  grated  nutmeg,  and  the  whites  of  eggs 
beaten  to  a  stiff  froth.  This  will  make  a  very  soft  dough. 
Cover  in  warm  place,  and  let  rise  until  light.  When  raised,  take 
out  on  well-floured  board,  and  mold  pieces  the  size  of  an  egg, 
flatten,  and  place  in  buttered  pan,  allowing  space  between. 
Cover  and  put  to  rise  until  they  double  in  size,  then  make  a 
cross  in  the  top  of  each,  and  bake  in  steady  oven  half  an  hour. 
Brush  the  top  over  with  syrup  made  from  sugar  and  a  little 
water  to  glaze.

SOUP  STOCK 

To  a  two-bit  shin  of  beef  I  add  what  beefsteak  and  meatbones 
I  may  have,  add  six  quarts  of  water,  cover  tightly,  and  boil 
gently  all  day.  Strain  at  night  and  set  away  to  cool.  The  next 
day  skim  the  fat  from  it  and,  if  the  stock  is  not  a  thick  jelly, 
put  it  on  the  stove  and  boil  still  longer.  This  should  make  three 
quarts  of  rich  jelly,  to  which  you  can  add  rice,  barley,  macaroni, 
vermicelli  or  vegetables,  or  whatever  you  fancy,  as  a  flavoring. 
The  fat  I  skim  from  the  soup  I  put  on  the  stove  and  boil  until 
it  is  transparent,  pour  it  into  a  small  pan  or  tin  and  use  it  in  the 
place  of  butter  or  lard  for  cooking.  It  is  much  superior  to  but- 
ter or  lard  for  frying  or  shortening. 

BEAN  SOUP-Mrs.  Ford 

Wash  and  boil  your  beans  with  a  piece  of  salt  pork.  When 
the  beans  are  soft  take  them  out  and  press  through  a  colander, 
then  put  them  back  in  the  water  they  were  boiled  in,  together 
with  four  hard  boiled  eggs,  quartered,  and  half  a  lemon  sliced, 
a  little  pepper  and  salt.     Boil  up  and  serve. 

ASPARAGUS  SOUP— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Boil  two  bunches  of  asparagus  one-half  hour.  Put  one  quart 
milk  on  stove,  press  tender  stalks  through  colander  into  milk. 
Thicken  with  two  tablespoons  flour  rubbed  into  one  tablespoon 
butter.  Let  come  to  a  boil  and  serve  hot.  Season  with  pepper 
and  salt. 

CREAM  OF  TOMATO  SOUP-Mrs.  A.  L.  House 

One  quart  milk,  one  can  tomatoes  strained,  one  teaspoon  of 
soda  in  tomatoes  just  before  removing  from  the  stove.  Butter 
size  of  an  egg,  salt  and  cayenne  pepper  to  taste,  two  crackers 
rolled  fine.  Heat  milk  and  tomatoes  separately.  Mix  in  tureen 
just  before  serving. 

OYSTER  STEW— Mrs.  R.  H.  Thomson 

One  can  of  best  cove  oysters,  one  quart  sweet  milk,  one  table- 
spoon butter,  two  tablespoons  flour,  salt  and  pepper  to  taste. 


18 

Strain  the  liquor  from  the  oysters  and  to  this  add  the  milk. 
When  it  has  reached  the  boiling  point  thicken  with  the  flour 
into  which  the  butter  has  been  rubbed.  When  this  has  boiled, 
pour  over  the  oysters  which  are  in  the  soup  tureen  and  serve 
immediately. 

POTATO  SOUP-Mrs.  Eldredge 

Four  medium  sized  potatoes  cut  in  very  small  pieces.  Pour  on 
one  quart  boiling  water,  little  salt,  pepper  and  good  slice  of  but- 
ter. Let  boil  until  soft.  Rub  through  a  sieve.  Just  before  serv- 
ing add  one  teaspoon  of  flour  mixed  with  cold  water,  two  cups 
of  milk  and  let  boil  up  once. 

ONION  SOUP-Mrs.  Bryant 

Slice  and  fry  six  large  onions  until  quite  brown,  add  two 
quarts  rich  milk,  one  tablespoon  butter,  one  teaspoon  cayenne 
pepper  and  salt  to  taste.  Thicken  with  two  tablespoons  flour 
mixed  with  cold  water.     Serve  very  hot. 

SPLIT  PEA  SOUP-Mrs.  R.  H.  Thomson 

One  cup  split  peas,  one  and  one-half  pounds  lean  neck  of  beef 
(no  bone) ,  two  thin  slices  of  salt  pork,  three  quarts  cold  water. 
Wash  and  soak  peas  for  an  hour,  cut  meat  in  small  pieces.  Put 
all  together  in  soup  kettle  and  cook  for  three  hours;  you  may 
have  to  add  some  boiling  water  at  the  last.  When  done  thicken 
with  one  tablespoon  of  flour  rubbed  smooth  in  one-half  cup  of 
creamy  milk;  strain  and  serve  with  toast  bread  cubes. 

CREAM  CELERY  SOUP-Mrs.  S.  E.  Polhemus 

Take  the  root  and  several  stalks  of  celery  cut  in  small  pieces, 
cover  with  water  (being  careful  not  to  use  too  much)  add  a  lump 
of  butter  and  salt  and  pepper.  Boil  until  celery  is  tender,  then 
add  a  quart  of  milk  and  let  come  to  the  boiling  point.  Take  three 
or  four  slices  of  bread  cut  in  small  squares  and  fry  in  a  little 
butter  to  a  light  brown,  place  in  tureen  and  pour  the  soup  over 
them. 

BEAN  SOUP-Mrs.  R.  H.  Thomson 

One  large  cup  of  small  white  beans,  two  pounds  lean  neck  of 
beef.  Soak  the  beans  over  night  and  boil  three-fourths  of  an 
hour,  changing  water  twice.  Put  the  beans  into  the  soup  kettle 
with  the  meat,  cook  until  the  beans  can  not  be  found,  and  the 
meat  to  shreds.  Salt  and  pepper  to  taste,  add  a  cup  of  creamy 
milk,  strain  and  serve.  This  is  also  nice  with  toast  cubes 
instead  of  crackers. 


19 
CLAM  SOUP-Mrs.  SamuelJ.  Holms 

Place  one  pint  clams  in  bowl  and  chop  very  fine.  Put  one 
quart  milk  on  the  stove  with  the  liquor  of  the  c'ams,  season 
with  pepper  and  salt.  Roll  four  or  five  crackers  and  sprinkle  in 
milk.  Chop  fine  one  small  piece  of  onion  and  let  all  boil  up. 
Just  before  removing  from  the  fire  put  in  butter  the  size  of  a 
walnut. 

CLAM  CHOWDER— Mrs.  W.  P.  Slusser 

One  dozen  and  one-half  of  clams.  Scrub  shells  and  place  in 
a  kettle  over  the  fire.  Cover  with  one  quart  of  boiling  water. 
As  soon  as  shells  open,  remove  from  fire.  Save  the  water.  Chop 
fine  a  little  salt  pork,  and  slice  four  large  potatoes  thin.  Put 
pork  in  kettle;  after  frying  until  brown  add  strained  water  and 
the  juice  of  the  clams,  the  potatoes,  and  three  onions  sliced  thin. 
Simmer  one  and  one-quarter  hours.  Add  a  quart  of  milk,  or 
water  if  preferred,  cook  fifteen  minutes  longer,  add  clams  and 
serve. 

TOMATO  FOR  SOUPS,  SAUCES,  ETC.— Mrs.  M.  J.  Granger 

Skin  and  boil  tomatoes,  then  strain  free  from  seeds.  Then 
boil  down  as  thick  as  possible  without  burning,  and  bottle  hot 
in  glass  jars  or  bottles  that  can  be  made  air  tight,  the  same  as 
in  canning  fruit.  Small  bottles  are  preferable  to  large  ones,  as 
it  does  not  keep  well  after  being  opened.  The  pulp  after  being 
boiled  down,  can  also  be  dried,  by  being  spread  thinly  on  buttered 
plates.     The  dried  pulp  readily  dissolves  in  soup. 

NOODLES— Mrs.  E.  S.  Denner 

Into  two  eggs  work  with  a  knife  as  much  flour  as  possible, 
also  a  pinch  of  salt.  Turn  out  on  molding-board  and  mold  well, 
using  plenty  of  flour.  Roll  very  thin,  and  leave  for  two  or  three 
hours  to  dry.  Cut  in  equal  pieces  and  place  one  above  the  other, 
then  cut  in  thin  strips  and  shake  loosely  apart.  Put  into  rapidly 
boiling  water  for  ten  minutes.  Have  ready  frying-pan  with  a 
good  piece  of  butter  melted  and  hot;  remove  the  noodles  with  a 
skimmer,  let  drain  a  minute,  then  put  into  the  pan  with  the 
butter  for  ten  minutes,  and  serve.  Good  with  or  without  meat. 

FRENCH  SOUP-Mrs.  E.  S.  Denner 

In  a  strong,  clear  soup,  just  before  serving,  add  two  well 
beaten  eggs  very  gradually.     Pour  into  tureen  at  once.

CREAMED  SALMON— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Make  a  white  sauce  of  one-half  pint  milk  and  as  much  cream, 
two  tablespoons  butter  and  two  tablespoons  flour.  Melt  butter,

with  salt,  cayenne,  and  nutmeg.  To  this  add  a  can  of  nice  sal-

thickly  with  butter  and  place  in  a  good  oven  for  fifteen  minutes. 
Serve  with  a  sauce  made  by  melting  one  tablespoonful  of  butter,

stock  made  from  chicken  or  veal;  season  nicely,  lift  out  fish, 
sprinkle  thickly  with  minced  parsley  and  pour  the  sauce  over.

utes, and  then  merely  place  in  the  oven  to  heat  while  the  soup 
is  being  served.  The  sauce  will  keep  if  stood  in  a  vessel  of  hot 
water.

add  one  good-sized  onion  chopped  fine,  parsley,  one  can  toma- 
toes, salt  and  pepper  to  taste,  and  one-half  cup  chopped  mush- 
rooms (put  into  hot  water  until  tender,  then  chopped).

put  into  the  cream.  Add  one  small  can  shrimps  broken  into 
small  pieces,  and  a  little  salt  and  pepper.  Thicken,  and  serve  on 
hot  toasted  bread. 

SWEETBREADS- Mrs.  W.  C.  Fowler 

Soak  sweetbreads  in  salted  water  about  one  hour  to  remove 
blood,  then  remove  skinny  covering.  Slice  thin,  lengthwise, 
roll  in  beaten  egg,  then  in  cracker  crumbs,  corn-meal,  or  flour, 
and  fry  in  a  very  hot  pan,  with  a  heaping  tablespoon  of  butter 
and  lard.     Salt  to  taste. 

OLD-FASHIONED  FRITTERS— Mrs.  Parker  Maddux 

Beat  five  eggs  light,  add  a  cup  of  milk,  a  half  cup  of  water, 
and  a  scant  teaspoonful  of  baking-powder.  Flour  enough  to 
make  quite  a  stiff  batter.     Fry  in  hot  lard. 

RAVIOLI— Mrs.  Tovani 

One  pound  of  lean  pork  chopped  fine,  two  cups  of  stale  bread 
soaked  in  water,  parsley  and  spinnach,  one  green  onion  chopped 
fine  until  you  have  one  coffee-cup  full,  one  cup  of  mashed  pota- 
toes. Put  pork  and  greens  in  a  frying-pan  on  back  of  stove, 
pour  over  it  one  quarter-cup  of  olive  oil.  Let  simmer  slowly. 
When  wilted  pour  over  the  bread.  Add  one  scant  cup  of  grated 
Romano  cheese,  a  few  leaves  of  summer  sage  and  mint,  a  little 
garlic  chopped  very  fine,  one  teaspoon  of  celery  salt,  one-half 
teaspoon  each  of  cloves  and  nutmeg  (ground),  one  teaspoon  of 
allspice,  salt  to  taste;  three  eggs  well  beaten,  one-fourth  cup 
mushrooms  chopped  fine,  two  teaspoons  black  pepper.  Stir  un- 
til well  mixed.  Take  noodle  paste  ( page  19  )  roll  thin  but  thick 
enough  not  to  break.  Cut  out  as  for  cookies,  put  on  one  side  of 
each  one  a  dessert-spoon  of  this  mixture;  turn  over  the  other 
side,  moisten  the  edges  with  cold  water  and  press  together 
firmly.  Drop  in  boiling  water  salted  to  taste  and  let  boil  fifteen 
minutes.  Have  plenty  of  water  so  they  will  boil  freely  and  not 
stick  together.     When  done  pour  in  colander  and  drain  well. 

Sauce: — Roast  any  kind  of  meat  as  for  ordinary  use.  When 
done  remove  from  pan.  Add  to  the  gravy  one  can  of  tomatoes, 
one-half  a  chicken  chopped  fine  (not  cooked),  one  dozen  olives, 
one-half  cup  of  butter  or  enough  to  make  rich  gravy;  season  to 
taste  with  allspice,  cloves,  salt  and  pepper;  let  cook  until  it 
thickens  and  chicken  is  done.  Take  dish  that  can  go  on  table, 
put  in  a  layer  of  gravy,  then  a  layer  of  Ravioli  from  colander, 
sprinkle  with  grated  cheese;  repeat  until  dish  is  full,  being  sure 
to  have  gravy  on  top.  Set  in  oven  for  ten  minutes,  and  serve  hot.

RULES  FOR  COOKING  MEATS 


Put  all  salt  meats  in  cold  water;  all  fresh  meats,  excepting 
for  soups,  into  hot  water,  then  cook  slowly.  All  roast  meats, 
excepting  veal,  are  put  dry  into  a  very  hot  oven;  veal  requiring 
a  little  more  moisture.  When  well  browned,  add  hot  water;  and 
when  about  half  done,  salt.  Never  salt  meat  until  partially 
cooked.  Rare  meat  requires  about  fifteen  minutes  to  the  pound. 
Baste  all  roasts  frequently.  Roast  beef  requires  a  hotter  oven 
than  any  other  meat. 

MOLDED  VEAL— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Ten  cent  knuckle  veal  and  boil  until  it  can  be  pierced  with 
fork.  Take  from  liquor  and  cool.  When  cold  cut  into  small 
pieces.  Have  ready  three  hard  boiled  eggs.  Slice  eggs  length- 
wise. Commence  by  putting  slices  of  egg  in  mold,  then  meat 
and  alternate  in  this  wise  until  all  is  used  with  an  occasional  all 
clove  and  pepper  corn.  When  all  is  ready  pour  over  the  liquor 
which  is  boiling  hot  and  has  been  freed  from  grease  or  settlings. 
Set  away  to  cool.  Serve  cold  cut  in  slices.  If  liquor  seems  too 
thin,  add  one  teaspoon  Knox  Gelatine. 

DUMPLINGS— Mrs.  Miller 

To  each  cup  full  of  sifted  flour  add  one  teaspoon  of  baking 
powder,  add  a  little  salt,  sift  until  thoroughly  mixed,  then  add 
half  as  much  milk  as  flour  (by  measure)  and  beat  a  minute. 
Drop  by  spoonfuls  into  the  stew,  cover  tightly  and  boil  twelve 
minutes. 

STUFFING  FOR  A  TURKEY 

For  a  turkey  weighing  from  eight  to  ten  pounds  allow  one  loaf 
of  stale  baker's  bread,  one  quart  of  oysters,  one  lemon,  two 


42 

roots  of  celery  and  one-quarter  of  a  pound  of  butter.  It  is  taken 
for  granted  that  the  turkey  is  thoroughly  cleaned  and  wiped  dry 
before  putting  the  stuffing  in.  Crumble  the  bread  till  very  fine; 
season  with  pepper  and  salt.  Drain  the  oysters,  setting  the 
liquor  aside.  Now  take  a  very  sharp  knife  and  peel  off  the 
outer  rind  of  the  lemon,  being  careful  not  to  have  any  of  the 
bitter  and  tough  white  skin  left  on.  Cut  the  peel  in  very  small 
bits,  chop  the  white  part  of  the  celery  very  fine,  adding  the  but- 
ter and  the  juice  of  the  lemon.  Mix  the  ingredients  mentioned, 
stirring  until  thoroughly  mixed;  then  proceed  to  stuff  body  and 
crop.  A  turkey  of  the  size  spoken  of  requires  at  least  two  hours 
baking,  and  it  should  be  basted  frequently;  the  liquor  of  the 
oysters  should  be  put  in  the  pan  when  the  pan  is  first  set  in  the 
oven,  and  this  is  to  be  used  in  basting.  The  giblets  and  livers 
should  be  cooked  in  a  basin  on  top  of  the  stove,  then  chopped 
fine,  and  when  the  gravy  is  made,  add  them  to  it. 

VEAL  OR.  BEEF  LOAF— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Three  pounds  chopped  veal  or  beef,  three  well-beaten  eggs, 
salt  and  pepper  to  taste,  one-half  cup  butter.  Powdered  cracker 
to  make  the  above  the  consistency  of  dough.  Make  into  a  loaf 
and  bake  until  done,  basting  with  butter.  Use  hot  water  to 
moisten  the  ingredients  if  it  is  too  dry  to  mold  with  hand. 

BOILED  TONGUE— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Soak  tongue  over  night  and  boil  four  hours  in  milk  and  water, 
peel  and  place  on  platter;  garnish  with  parsley. 

DAUBE  a  La  CREOLE -Mrs.  H.  H.  Brooks 

Three  pounds  of  the  round  of  veal  or  beef,  two  large  onions, 
two  tablespoons  of  flour,  two  cloves  of  garlic,  two  large  toma- 
toes, one  bay  leaf,  one  sprig  of  thyme  and  parsley,  salt,  pepper, 
and  cayenne  to  taste,  one  tablespoon  of  lard.  Make  incisions 
in  the  meat  and  put  the  garlic  into  them;  then  rub  the  meat 
well  with  salt  and  pepper.  Put  into  the  hot  lard  and  cover  well; 
when  brown  on  both  sides  put  in  a  half  cup  of  water;  when  this 
cooks  up,  put  in  onions  and  flour;  when  brown  put  in  tomatoes 
and  other  ingredients,  and  set  back  on  stove;  let  simmer  slowly 
about  five  minutes,  then  put  in  three  cups  of  water  and  let  cook 
one  hour  slowly.

spoonful  of  onion  juice,  one-fourth  teaspoonful  of  mace,  one 
egg  beaten,  one-third  cup  of  soft  bread  crumbs,  one-fourth 
teaspoonful  of  pepper.  Pass  the  meat  through  a  chopper  several 
times;  add  the  other  ingredients,  the  egg,  beaten,  and  the  bread 
crumbs,  wrung  dry  after  standing  some  time  in  cold  water;  mix

between  thirty  and  forty  minutes.  Baste  frequently  with  fat

sauce. 

GRILLADES  a  La  CREOLE— Mrs.  H.  H.  Brooks 

One  round  steak,  two  tomatoes,  one  large  onion,  one  clove  of 
garlic,  salt  and  pepper  and  cayenne  to  taste.  Select  a  nice  round 
steak  and  beat  well;  cut  into  grillades  (pieces)  about  four  inches 
square.  Put  a  tablespoon  of  lard  in  a  deep  frying-pan  and  cover 
closely.  When  the  steak  browns  put  in  a  half  cup  of  water  and 
set  back  on  the  stove;  when  this  browns  put  in  the  sliced  onions 
and  garlic;  when  a  light  brown,  put  in  a  tablespoon  of  flour,  and 
as  it  browns,  put  in  tomatoes  and  let  brown.  Then  put  in  two  cups 
of  water  and  stir  well.  Set  it  back  on  stove  and  let  it  simmer 
slowly  for  about  half  an  hour.  This  makes  enough  for  six 
persons. 

WHOLESOME  WAY  TO  COOK  HAM— Miss  C.  Denner 

Cut  the  pieces  of  meat  in  full  thick  slices  straight  across  the 
ham,  and  place  them  in  a  frying-pan,  covering  well  with  boiling 
water.  Set  the  pan  directly  over  the  fire  for  a  few  minutes, 
that  it  may  boil  rapidly,  and  then  transfer  it  to  the  bottom  of 
the  oven,  where  it  must  be  left  to  cook  slowly  for  fully  one  hour. 
Replenish  the  pan  with  hot  water  as  often  as  necessary,  as  the 
ham  must  not  actually  "fry"  until  the  hour  has  passed.  When 
this  time  has  elapsed,  howeyer,  return  the  pan  to  the  top  of  the 
stove  that  the  meat  may  brown. 

A  GOOD  WAY  TO  COOK  MUTTON  OR  LAMB- Mrs.  Chas.  Hoffer

gently  for  one-half  hour.  Then  add  one  cup  of  clabber  and  one 
cup  of  sour  cream,  and  about  a  tablespoon  of  salt.  Cook  slowly 
for  two  hours.     Serve  with  mashed  potatoes.

ing: one  quart  bread  crumbs,  two  tablespoons  butter,  season

pot  liquor;  add  a  little  water  if  required.  Cover  closely  and  bake

MILK  SHERBET- Mrs.  C.  B.  Laughlin 

Six  lemons,  five  cups  sugar,  two  quarts  milk,  two  tablespoons 
cornstarch.  Squeeze  juice  of  six  lemons  on  four  cups  sugar  and 
let  come  to  boil,  so  as  to  form  a  sort  of  syrup.  Put  skins  with 
a  pint  of  water  on  stove  and  let  simmer  for  ten  minutes,  then 
strain  into  syrup.  Scald  two  quarts  of  milk  with  two  table- 
spoons cornstarch  and  a  cup  of  sugar.  When  cold  put  in  freez- 
er, and  when  it  begins  to  stiffen,  add  syrup  and  freeze.  This 
makes  about  three  quarts. 

MAPLE  FRAPPE— Mrs.  C.  B.  Laughlin 

Six  well  beaten  eggs  (beaten  separately) ,  one  quart  cream, 
two  cups  maple  syrup,  one  tablespoonful  gelatine.  Beat  eggs 
well  and  add  maple  syrup;  heat  in  double  boiler  stirring  con- 
stantly until  it  thickens.  Set  aside  to  cool.  Dissolve  gelatine 
in  one-half  cup  hot  water;  when  cold  add  to  whipped  cream. 
Stir  all  together  and  freeze. 

CREAM  SODA,  a  Cooling  Summer  Drink— Mrs.  J.  H.  Frese 

Four  pounds  coffee  sugar,  three  pints  water,  three  grated 
nutmegs,  whites  of  ten  eggs  well  beaten,  one  ounce  gum  arabic, 
twenty  drops  lemon,  or  extract  of  any  kind.  Mix  well,  place 
over  a  slow  fire,  stir  about  thirty  minutes,  remove  from  the  fire 
and  strain.  Divide  into  two  parts.  Into  one  half  put  eight 
ounces  carbonate  of  soda,  into  the  other  half  put  six  ounces 
tartaric  acid.  Shake  well.  When  cold  both  mixtures  are  ready 
for  use  by  pouring  four  spoonfuls  both  into  separate  glasses, 
each  one-third  full  of  water.  Stir  each  and  pour  together,  and 
you  have  a  fine  glass  of  soda,  which  you  can  drink  at  your  leis- 
ure, as  the  gum  and  eggs  hold  the  gas.

sugar  and  one-half  cup  water.  Let  boil  about  two  minutes,

utes. Let  this  become  ice  cold  before  serving  over  any  kind 
of  ice  cream.  Nuts  or  berries  can  be  substituted  for  the  pine- 
apple. Four  or  five  drops  of  citric  acid  added  to  the  pineapple 
makes  it  more  tart.

gradually.  Lastly,  cut  and  fold  the  whites  of  the  eggs  beaten 
stiff.  Serve  with  syrup  made  as  follows:  One  cup  sugar,  one- 
quarter  cup  water,  when  thick  add  one  tablespoon  lemon  juice

CORN  MEAL  WAFFLES- Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

One  quart  buttermilk,  three  egg  yolks  (well  beaten),  one  tea- 
spoon soda  dissolved  in  a  little  warm  water,  little  salt  and  corn 
meal  to  make  batter  a  little  thicker  than  for  pan  cakes. 

PIMENTO  SANDWICHES— Miss  S.  E.  Polhemus 

Drain  pimentoes,  chop  or  grind  them,  then  add  chopped  hard 
boiled  eggs  and  olives.  Mix  with  mayonnaise  dressing  and 
spread. 

PRESSED  CHICKEN— Mrs.  W.  P.  Slusser 

Select  two  chickens  about  a  year  old,  clean,  cut  up  well,  and 
stew  in  just  enough  water  to  cover.  When  nearly  cooked, 
season  with  salt  and  pepper.  Stew  down  until  the  water  is 
nearly  all  boiled  out  and  the  meat  drops  easily  from  the  bones. 
Remove  the  bones  and  gristle,  chop  the  meat  rather  coarsely, 
then  put  back  into  the  stew  kettle  with  broth  (first  skimming 
off  all  fat),  and  let  it  heat  again.  Turn  it  into  an  oblong  bread- 
pan,  drop  in  along  center  four  hard  boiled  eggs.  Place  a  weight 
on  the  top.  This  will  turn  out  like  jelly  and  may  be  sliced. 
Success  depends  upon  not  having  too  much  water,  and  see  that 
the  chickens  are  not  too  young. 

COLD  COOKED  MEAT  FRIED  IN  BATTER-  Janet  Mackenzie  Hill 

Tender,  cold  cooked  meat  of  any  kind  may  be  trimmed  into 
pieces  of  uniform  shape  and  size,  dipped  in  villeroi  sauce  (to  a

removing  from  the  fire,  the  yolks  of  two  eggs  beaten  with  one- 
fourth  cup  of  cream  or  milk;  cook  over  hot  water,  stirring  con- 
stantly until  the  sauce  is  quite  stiff),  and  when  cold,  egg  and 
bread  crumbed  and  fried  in  deep  fat.  Fritter  batter  may  take 
the  place  of  the  sauce  and  egg  and  bread  crumbing.  Cold  roast 
turkey  and  chicken  are  excellent  prepared  after  this  recipe.

then  stir  in  the  flour,  and  when  blended  with  the  butter  add 
cold  water  to  cover;  add  also  the  seasonings,  the  onion  whole, 
and  the  garlic  chopped  fine.  Let  simmer  until  nearly  tender,

hour  or  longer.  Fry  one  large  onion  and  two  Chili  peppers  until 
well  done,  add  one  quart  of  tomatoes,  salt,  a  few  sparing  dashes 
of  cinnamon  and  nutmeg,  one  tablespoon  sugar,  one-quarter 
cup  vinegar.  Let  boil  and  add  to  tripe  after  water  has  been 
poured  off.     Boil  a  few  minutes. 

GULOSCH— Mrs.  Parker  Maddux 

Put  some  drippings  or  lard  in  a  pot  or  other  rather  deep 
utensil,  and  fry  with  an  onion  cut  up  fine.  Cut  up  lean  beef  in 
pieces  the  size  of  an  egg,  rub  in  flour,  flavor  with  white  pepper

to  them  enough  or  all  of  the  dressing  to  make  a  moist  filling  for 
the  whites  of  the  eggs.  Then  fill  them  and  round  up  the  whites 
with  the  prepared  yolks. 


FOR  THE  SHVAILgDpS  TRAY 

"Simple  diet  is  best,  for  many  dishes  bring  many  diseases, 
and  rich  sauces  are  worse  than  even  heaping  several  meats 
upon  each  other."— Pliny. 

NOURISHING  DRINK- Miss  Ella  Wood 
One  teaspoon  dry  coffee  in  one   cup   milk  brought  to  a  boil. 
Have  ready  a  well  beaten  egg,  add  strained  milk  to  the  egg-, 
sweeten  if  desired.   . 

CHEESE  STRAWS -Miss  Annie  Laughlin 
Take  a  pint  of  flour  and  one-half  pint  grated  cheese.     Mix 
them  and  make  a  paste  with  lard  as  you  do  for  pies.     Roll  out 
in  a  thick  sheet,  cut  in  strips  half  an  inch  broad  and  five  or  six 
inches  long,  bake  a  light  brown. 

BEEF  BROTH     Mrs.  Baldwin

coffee  cups  cold  water,  also  salt  and  pepper  and  let  simmer 
about  one-half  hour  or  until  there  is  a  pint  of  broth.  Strain 
through  fine  sieve  and  serve  hot. 

EXTRACT  OF  BEEF  BLOOD— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Catch  in  bowl  warm  beef  blood  and  let  it  stand  until  it  clots, 
which  will  not  be  long.  Now  take  out  and  lay  on  a  clean  and 
smooth  board  and  cut  in  narrow  strips,  tilt  board  and  stand  in 
hot  sun.  In  a  short  time  all  watery  substance  will  have  run 
away  and  that  left  is  dry  and  will  crumble.  It  must  crumble 
or  it  is  not  ready,  rub  in  palm  of  hand  until  a  fine  powder,  sift 
through  fine  wire  sieve,  bottle  and  it  will  keep  for  years.  This 
can  be  taken  in  plain  soup  or  dry  as  most  acceptable  to  patient; 
the  strength  gained  is  wonderful.  When  cutting  to  dry,  cut  in 
as  narrow  strips  as  possible.  To  be  given  to  any  person  with 
little  strength  or  vitality. 

GRAPE  JUICE -Mrs.  Wm.  Woolsey 

Take  Zinfandel  grapes  and  run  through  a  cider  mill.  Put  juice 
in  earthen  jars  where  it  stands  over  night.  Next  morning  pour 
into  preserving  kettle  only  what  looks  clear,  rejecting  sediment, 
which  is  the  sugar  that  ferments.  Put  kettle  on  fire  and  bring 
juice  to  a  good  boiling  point  only.  Skim  if  needful.  Bottle 
while  hot,  straining  through  a  thin  cloth.  Seal  bottles  and  keep 
in  a  dark  place.

BLACKBERRY  CORDIAL— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Pick  over  and  wash  the  berries  and  drain;  place  in  double 
boiler  and  let  them  steam,  the  water  boiling  well  about  them 
for  good  thirty  minutes.  Turn  them  into  a  jelly  bag  and  hang 
up  to  drain;  do  not  squeeze  the  bag.  To  one  pint  of  juice  put 
one-half  pound  sugar  and  boil  five  minutes.  When  cold  add  half 
as  much  brandy  as  juice.     Bottle  and  cork  tight. 

MUTTON  TOAST— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Cut  in  pieces  one  pound  of  mutton,  the  bony  part  is  the  best, 
and  put  on  the  stove  early,  in  one  quart  of  cold  water.  Cook 
slowly.  When  the  meat  is  tender  strain  the  broth  through  a 
sieve  and  set  away  to  cool.  After  removing  the  grease  that  has 
risen  to  the  top,  let  the  broth  come  to  boiling,  and  add  flour 
thickening,  with  a  little  cream  or  butter.  Meanwhile  toast 
slices  of  white  or  brown  bread,  and  dip  in  hot  water  to  soften. 
Pour  the  stew  over  the  bread,  adding  the  pieces  of  mutton. 

OAT  MEAL  BLANC  MANGE— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Stir  two  heaping  tablespoonfuls  fine  oat  meal  into  a  little  cold 
water  and  then  stir  in  a  quart  of  boiling  milk;  boil  a  few  min- 
utes, salt,  turn  into  a  mold.  When  cold  eat  with  jelly  and  cream. 

PURE  BEEF  JUICE— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Take  good  juicy  round  steak,  remove  all  fat.  Place  in  hat 
skillet,  sear  both  sides  of  meat,  gash  pieces  with  knife,  place 
on  earthen  plate,  cover  with  another  plate  and  set  in  hot  oven. 
Let  remain  until  all  juice  leaves  meat.  One  tablespoon  of  this 
juice  is  equivalent  to  one  cup  of  broth. 

REFRESHING  DRINK— Miss  Annie  Laughlin 

Cover  raspberries  with  vinegar  and  soak  over  night.  Drain 
off  or  squeeze  out  the  juice,  to  every  pint  of  which  add  one 
pound  of  sugar.  Let  it  simmer  about  fifteen  minutes;  when 
cool  bottle,  and  when  used  as  a  drink  put  in  as  much  of  it  to  a 
glass  of  water  as  is  palatable  to  the  invalid. 

Washing   Made    a    Pleasure  — HORTON    Washing  Machine   at    MAILER'S 


COOBUBJG  DIRKED  FRUITS 


To  make  a  most  delicious  conserve  of  either  apples,  apricots, 
pears,  peaches,  figs  or  prunes,  proceed  as  follows:  Pick  over  the 
fruit  and  wash  it  thoroughly  but  quickly.  Put  it  in  a  dish, 
earthen  is  preferable,  at  about  noontime,  and  covering  it  gen- 
erously with  water,  allow  it  to  soak  during  that  afternoon  and 
night.  In  the  morning  take  the  fruit  carefully  out  into  a  cook- 
ing utensil — a  graniteware  kettle  or  saucepan  or  an  earthen 
crock — and  pour  over  it,  being  careful  not  to  disturb  the  sedi- 
ment at  the  bottom,  the  water  in  which  it  was  soaked;  then 
cover  the  dish  tightly  and  set  it  either  on  the  back  of  the  range 
or  in  a  moderate  oven,  where  it  will  quietly  simmer,  and  let  it 
remain  there  for  eight  or  ten  hours. 

If  you  have  an  unreasoning  sweet  tooth,  and  must  spoil  things 
with  sugar,  add  that  article  not  more  than  twenty  minutes  be- 
fore removing  the  cooked  fruit  from  the  range,  and  add  it  spar- 
ingly, since,  by  this  method  of  cooking,  all  the  natural  flavor 
and  saccharine  quality  of  the  fruits  are  preserved,  and  nearly 
everyone  who  is  privileged  to  taste  them  thus  prepared  readily 
concedes  that  they  are  quite  "sufficient  unto  themselves." 

Prunes  and  dried  grapes  become  simply  "idealized"  under 
this  treatment-  plump,  smooth,  juicy  and  generally  delicious, 
and  the  sliced  or  quartered  fruits  rival  the  daintiest  and  richest 
of  preserves  in  their  amber-hued  translucency,  as  well  as  in 
flavor. 

Verily,  if  the  cooks  and  housewives  would  add  to  their  little 
bills  of  fares  the  dried  fruits  of  California,  cooked  after  the 
fashion  herein  prescribed,  the  cry  for  "more"  would  be  so  loud 
and  so  unanimous  that  all  the  State's  broad  orchards  would  be 
quite  inadequate  to  supply  the  demand  of  even  the  home  market.
