THE PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY

The Patrons of Pohtatuck grange are requested to bear in mind that at the next meeting, November 7, they are ex- pected to contribute to a "Question box Some interesting readings are expected, and a paper upon the Worlds fair. Some of the recipes that accompanied very excellent samples at a previous meeting are asked for.
 Lemon pie, made from the following recipe, was delicious: Line pie plate with crust and bake. Mix one cup of sugar, two tablespoonful corn starch, and one cup of boiling water, and boil 10 minutes. When cool, add the yolk of one egg, and grate in the lemon and pour on to the crust. Beat the the white of the egg, add three tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar, spread on top, return to the oven to lightly brown.
 Layer cake, dark and light. For the light: One-half cup of butter, one of sugar, one and half of flour, half cup of sweet milk, whites of four eggs, one heaping tablespoonful of baking powder sfted with tie flour. For the dark: The yolks of four eggs, one cup of molasses, one-half cup of butter, one-half of milk, one teaspoonful ginger, one of cinnamon and one-half teaspoonful soda.
 Boiled icing for filling: Boil one cup of granulated sugar with four table spoonfuls of water until it drops from the spoon in threads. Have ready the beaten white of one egg, and pour the syrup into it, beating all the time. Fla vor and spread on the cake while warm.
 Accompanying the following recipe were several samples of what seemed to be different kinds of very nice cake, all made from the same recipe, of which the lady wrote: ''I think I use it oftener than any other, because it is easy, so quick to make and bake, and plain, light and cheap" Break two eggs in a tea cup and fill up with sweet cream; one cup of sugar, one and one-half of flour, one and one-half teaspoonful of baking powder, little salt. For the frosting take boiling water and stir in powdered sbill tiiC OOuSlS1ChSJ Oo SplCdd well. This is nice for layers with cocoa nut, chocolate, lemon, jelly, or any fill ing one chooses to use.
 Potato salad: Boil eight good sized potatoes in slightly salted water. Do not boil too soft. When cold cut in cubes and pour over them this dressing. Boil two eggs half hour or until the yolks are mealy. While the yolks are still warm mash with them one teaspoon ful mustard flour, one teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful pepper, butter size of half an egg. When these are well mixed add, a little at time, half tea cup of cream and half teacup of vine- gar. A little very finely cut onion or onion juice added to the dressing inn proves it for most people.
