Boston Brown Bread.

There is a new wrinkle in making
Boston brown bread, and that is cake
crumbs in place of wheat -four. The
regular rule calls for one small cup
corn meal. the same amount of gra-
ham -four, ditto cake crumbs or wheat
flour, the former much the better.
Mix these dry ingredients together.
Put into bowl one cup sour milk,
two-thirds of a cup of molasses, a
pinch of salt, and teaspoonfui OF
soda. Stir until the soda stops "purr-
ing" then stir into the dry ingredi-
ents. A cup of cut raisins may be
added or not as desired. Many think
them an improvement. Pour into but
tered molds, and steam three hours,
starting with cold water. II larger
quantity of bread is required, teacup
of entire wheat -four is added.
