Sailing Butter.


If fresh made butter be drained 10

over, the surplus moisture will be press
ell ont, leaving the dissolved salt even
" distributed throughout the mass.
Any more salt than can be dissolved in

In cities some buy yeast cakes with
which to raise their bread Fleisch-
mann's yeast cakes are the best.
Good homemade yeast can be made
by this receipt. Take an ounce of
dried hops in muslin bag and six
good-sized potatoes peeled. Put
these to boil in gallon of water
Boil an hour keeping up the quantity
of water. Remove the hop-bag press
the potatoes through a colander and
return to the liquor. Mix two cups
of flour with one of molasses, and
three tablespoonful of salt; stir this
into the liquor; return to the fire and
boil about five minutes. Then let it
cool until it is about as warm as new
milk, and add two cups of yeast, not
soured. Let it stand till very light.
Put in jar that will allow one-third
for rising. This viii keep a month
in cool place. White sugar can be
used instead ofmolasses.-Good Cheer.
