A NAVAL RECIPE FOR BREAD.
The wives of the generals and admirals
excel not only in making fancy dishes, but
in getting up the palmer articles for the
table. Mrs. General Banks makes most
delicious tomatoes (boiled). which she
serves on toast. Mrs. General Henderson
has breakfast dish of corn mullins which
her husband never gets tired of praising,
and Mrs. General Bate makes an egg bread
consisting of two cups of corn meal, three
cups of buttermilk, . teaspoonful of lard, q
teaspoonful of salt and one egg. which,
when cooked and eaten hot with fresh but
termiik, will make any Tennessee mans
stomach get up and howl for more. OF
course every one wants homemade bread
for Thanksgiving, and Uill let Mrs Ad-
miral Crosby of the navy tell you how to
make it:
Two quarts OF -four; one teaspoonful each OF
salt and lard; ona tescop ful each Of yeast and

minutes or longer: put in bowl to rise over

top; in morning, or when light, put into loaves
and set in same place: then bake.
1t may be that some of the readers of the
above will not know how to make the
yeast, and l add this recipe from Mrs.
Crosby. II will beat any baking powder in
existence:
Pare six eight potatoes; cover with about
half gallon OF water: boil until tender: then

sugar; throw the water and potatoes thru "a
the colander. and II there is not water enough
