A SUIT pudding which is not too
rich helps to make variety at the din
ner table. Here is an excellent receipts:
One cup OF chopped suet, one cup OF
raislns, stoned and chopped, one cup
of sweet milk, four cups of flour, one
cup of molasses, one teaspjonful OF
SAT-, and one of soda; steam for three
hours. This makes a large pudding,
enough for dozen people, and hall
the quantity may OF course be used.
If you have an old-fashioned cake TIN
with a spout in the centre it is the very
best kind Of dish to steam this pudding
in. Serve hot with sour or wine sauce.
This pudding 10 good the second day
after it is made, and seems even lighter
after the second steaming than after
the first.

separate the particles of meal and render
the mass, as it goes into the stomach,

stomach of the horse, the gastric iu

movements OF the stomach can not break
up this adhesive moss so as to allow the
gastric juice to circulate through it, and
therefore it can not be digested. And
it is for this reason that whole corn, OF
that very coaTsely ground, may be fed
to horse with less danger OF collie OF

small feet against something firm and
