To the Editor u Tie 75s1uae
TouLos, Stark Co., H., May 9.-Not long
since the subject OF natrfmouy had quite d
| "run" III your paper; and the subject Of house
keeping seems In prospect Of quite as extensive
| an airing. We'll, let the ball keep rolling; s1In
| multitude Of counsclors there is WISDOM and
it will be quite wonder il many useful items Of
knowledge, drawn from experience, do not up
! pear before the subject is exhausted. have
been most interested in the articles pertaining
to bread preparations, self-raising flour and cold
ground-wholc~whcat flour, as "W. s. 81 calls 1t,
| whose article gave al the information one
needed, with the exception OF stating where it
may be obtained. Will sW. s. 81 rise to explain?
And then the appeal Of the lady who did not
know what to do with her dry bread, that would
accumulate, touched responsive vein, and
am moved to tell her what do with mine
now, not always, for it was lcak-ho1c that 1
have tried IN many ways to stop. As fast as any
pieces accumulate, put them onto tin and
into the oven, and slowly but thoroughly dry
them (not brown; put them in clean bag and
hang up ready Tor any use, such Us dressing for
fowls or roasts, puadings, bread, pancakes, etc.,
and I find it great convenience to have this
reserved force to fall back on And SO it is
that dry bread is no more burden, nor need be
to any Aousckeepcr. And right here will give
a recipe for bread pudding that deserves
4 bread pudding in the usual way, with eggs,
sugar, and milk, adding small piece OF butter
{sare out the whites Of two or three eggs); bake
TIL done; then spread Il thin layer oiauy kind Of
jelly over the top; then cover with the whites
OF the eggs, previously beaten to L stiff froth,
aud suSafed and favored to taste; then return
to the oven until 4 delicate brown. It needs no
sauce, and is the best thing IN this line know
permeates the whole, giving it . delicious flavor,
would like the experience OF any Of your
readers on the following: ~ The best way Of
cleaning oilcloths, since soap Is said to be in
furious; @ A way to cook goldfish ID; and not
have it harder than before (3) The best brand
OF sugar for cake,--ori if the kind Of sugar makes
any difference withits success. One lady especial
ly eujoins powdered or granulatcd sugar in her
recipe. Now, always think it well to give o
reason for the hope that is in you, and ain quite
using grauuiated sugar, which never dissolvcs
before baking, aud seldom fully after. ~ 4
good recipe Tor ginger-snaps- Perhaps some
may be interested to know that little sweet
milk, put into tile dsh-water is better than
oap,-thosc that do not believe it can try it,
as hayc.
And now one word to the woman who snakes
her children eat soup.' I am heartily glad I
tastes, likes, or disiikes tha1 we are bound to
respccts Because one has the power and a1i-
thority to compel obedience, is it just to do SO
even III the matter Of eating soups AL persons
are not equally fond Of soup, nor never could
be by any amount of compelling. And If, as
writers on the subject say, thdt the palate |
should be pleased in order TINT our food should
do the Ereatest amount Of good, how about /
they see norc appetizing dishes dened thcms
And then she says il they want meat, sue gives |
them some OF the "suup meat" Now, tue only |
use make OF my ''soup meat" is to give it to
sornc good hungry, doE,-and ! advise Mrs.
