II Is easy to make koumiss at home, and. as 1t

boiling water fill them with II, and then allow
them 10 stand in 1t for about half an hour. Keep
the corks under boiling water the same length OF
time. - r,c,pr
Allow two tablespoonfuls Of syrup and about
sixth of a cake Of yeast for every quart of milk
bottled Prepare the syrup by boiling half q cup
OF sugar with half cup OF water FOR two MIN
utes Fill quart bottles about quarter full. and
add the yeast, dissolved in lukewarm water. and
the syrup. Cork the bottles and shake them thor
oughly and then fill with milk. Cork them tightly
again and tie down the corks securely. 1t is
little convenient to use beer bottles win
patent fasteners. because they hold only enough
for one glass Of the koumss. and they are not
as likely to break open corks tied down with
even the stoutest twine They are also easier TO
open as the koumiss, If good is very effervescent
Set the bottles for at least four days In eod
this time the koumiss should be ready for use.
