i TOUR the whole mixture
into an earthen bowl,
A pans just as good, if it
hasn't a hole.
It's the cook and the flour,

First sift the flour-use the
y. finest in the land.
/ Three quarts is the measure,
"GOLD MEDAL" the brand.
DOME people like a little
shortening power,
If this is your choice, Just
add to the flour
Two tablespoonfuls of lard,
and tumble it about,
j Till the flour and lard are
mixed without doubt.
NEXT stir the flour into
the mixture that's stood
Waiting to play its part, to
make the bread good.
Mix it up thoroughly, but not
too thick;
Some f1ours make bread
that's more like a brick.
| Now grease <; we'll a bowl
and put the dough in,
Don't fill the bowl full, that
would be a sin;
For the dough is all right
and it's going to rise,
Till you will declare that it's
twice the old size.
