CoCoANUT PUFFs.-Powered sugar
one cup, two cups dessicated cocoanut,
beaten whites of two eggs, two table
spoonfuls of -four or cornstarch. Drop
on buttered paper on tins. Bake quick
ly.
MoLAssEs CANDY.-This is simply
made with cup of molasses, and one
of sugar, half cup of vinegar, and a
little butter. Some people prefer the
juice of a lemon to vinegar in this re-
cipe. Our little ones are very fond of
butternuts mixed in the half cooked
candy, and prefer this to any store con-
fections that can be bought.
ANGEL FooD.-Whites of 20 eggs,
beaten stiffiy, two tea cupfuls of flour
with two teaspoonfuls of cream Of tar
tar. Sift -four and cream of-tartar five
times, three cups of granulated sugar,
cups not quite full. Sift the sugar IN
to the we'll beaten whites of eggs, NOV
ing it in the sieve with a fork that it
may pass through evenly and gradually
Bake on unbuttered pans one hour or
one hour and a quarter in well-heated, /,
but not scorching, oven. Cut out of
pans when cool. One-half this quanti-
ty may be made, but succeed best
when I prepare the whole.
CHOCOLATE CARAMELs.-A pound of
sugar, half cup of chocolate grated
fine, large teaspoonful of butter, and
tablespoonful of cream. Boil all the
ingredients without the chocolate, add
ing that when the rest is partly cooked.
Boil till brittle, pour into buttered pans
and when nearly cold, cut into squares.

and when nicely Drowned, mix the sage
with them. Put about four ounces of
the onion to the bread crumbs, add the
eggs. we'll beaten, season with pepper

GOSHEN, VT, Nov. 9, 1885.
Hon. JOSEPH BATTELL.
Dear Sir:-The Butler horse of
Pittsford was not sired by Old Black
Hawk, as mentioned in the REGISTER
of Oct. 80, but was sired by Young
Columbus, as | was informed by Mr..
Willard Butler himself in the season of
1866. | bred two mares to his horse
that season. Mr.. Butler informed me
that John Bullock of Leicester hired
the Beach mare Of a Mr.. Beach in
Leicester and bred her to Young Col
umbus and that his horse was the colt
which the mare raised. The Beach
mare was considered to be the best
broader" in this part of the State. She
had the reputation Of travelling ore
hundred miles in one day-from sun
rise to sunset. cannot give the pedi-
gree of the Beach mare, but think
that Mr.. Dana l.. Smith of Leicester or
Mr.. John Cloyes of Salisbury could
give some Information on this point. |
have been informed that Mr.. Butler
sold the horse to some parties in the
north part of the State for $500. This
horse was very dark brown; some
might call it black.
Yours respectfully,
II. Il. CHURCHILL.

Sorse Department.

The steadily-growlng popularity OF the
Morgan horse, and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood, with pedigrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itors of this department to undertake the
collection and veri6cation as far as posi-
BILE, of Morgan pedigrees from the time of
the original Justin Morgan to the present.
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedgrees of all trotting
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We have already
received from original sources large
amount of important information in both
these lines much of which will be given in
these columns. For the completion of our
work, which will be published in book
form, we want pedigree, description and
history of every meritorious stallion de-
scended in direct male line from Justin
Morgan that has ever been used for stock
purposes. Blanks for this information will
be furnished free on application. Questions
of public interest concerning Morgan horses
will be answered in this department. All
communications in this department may be
addressed to w. H. Bliss, Rochester, Vt.

built like himself. SO said Mr.. Patter-
son Murray, who lived close by and re-
membered the stock well. So said Mr.
Sheldon Smith, VINO lives just south of
the old Allen Smith place, and says
that they raised a number of colts from
Pone. The testimony on the other
hand is emphatic that Liberty's stock
were large, aud very long lived. We
are informed that the dam of the Rock
wood colt, or Vermont Hero, was
about the same age as dam of Sherman
Black Hawk; that is, she too might
have been got by either horse. She
was large bay mare, about 100, and
Mr.. Darwin Rider of the Addison
House, Middlebury, says that he used
to see both of these mares after about
1887, and that he should feel very sure
that they we're both by the same horse.
He does not know what horse got
them.
In the pedigree of "Young HANDLE
tonian" as given by Mr.. Linsley, we
have the horse Liberty described with
the pedigree of Pone fastened to him.
There is also gross error in the
grand dam, which is said to be by Imp.
Bellfounder, though Bellfounder
wasn't imported till 1925, and Pone
was born about 1920. We presume
Mr.. Linsley published this as it was
handed to him. Undoubtedly it was
made up to fit into the pedigree of
some stallion or stations. We do not
doubt but Pone was got by Bishops
Hambletonian. 1t is evident Mr..
Smith so gave his pedigree and he
ought to have known. But we do not
believe he got either of these two
mares. We understand these mares to
have been about the same age. Mr..
Rider ot'the Addison House, Middle
bury, very experienced horseman,
was acquainted with both of these
mares about 1887 and expresses the
opinion from their resemblance that
they were sired by the same horse.
They were both of them large, rangy
mares. He did not know what horse
sired them. Mr.. Barney Myrick says
that he knows that the dam of Sherman
Black Hawk was 10 or 20 the year that
Sherman Black Hawk was foaled, 1915
The pedigree of Young Hambletoniar
given in Mr.. Linsley's book is the de
scription of Liberty with the pedigree
of the other horse attached. Pone was
a small, tght-built horse, not over Il
hands and got large number Of small,
tight-built horses. The testimony on
this point is nearly unanimous, anC
from those who lived on the spot anC
bred his colts. The stock of Libert,
were large, and noted as very Ions
lived and great travellers. These two
horses were understood to be bv Liber
ty, and universally so far as we cal
find out, before pedigrees were LOOKED
for. Then Mr.. Smith, with how mucl
positiveness we do not know, suggeste,
the horse whose pedigree was know
as the sire; this some 20 years after tn
serving without consulting any stu
book, by which alone, as it seems TO us
such a question could be Intelligent
decided. The pedigree of Libert
seems to have been wholly obscure
Apparently he was a catch colt, sire,
doubtless by colt of good blood ant
we presume Mr.. Hemenway is right
by colt from the mare Nancy. Fur
Their testimony ought to throw NOR
light on this matter. Can any of on
readers give it?
