BAKED WHEAT.-Cracked wheat is
a very nice dish if baked with plenty of
water added from time to time as it is
needed, to allow the wheat to expand.
1t should bake slowly for from five to
six hours, and it will then be found to
be remarkably sweet and wholesome.
1t is delicious if baked With milk in
stead of water, but will then need more
attention when in the oven to prevent
scorching.
BAKED EGGs.-Break six or seven
eggs into a buttered dish, taking care
that each is whole and does not encroach
upon the others so much as to mix or
disturb the yelks. Sprinkle with pepper
and salt, and put a bit of butter upon
each. Put into an oven and bake until
the whites are well set. Serve very hot,
with rounds of buttered toast or sand
witches.

milk, six ounce of -four, four eggs, half
a saltspoon of salt ; scald the milk and

drop one teaspoonful of batter at a time
