COTTAGE Cheese.

This is an old-fashioned recipe for
cottage cheese. Set a gallon or more
of clabbered milk in the oven after
cooking meal being sure to leave the
door open. Turn the cheese around
frequently and cut the curd into
squares with a knife, stirring gently
now and then until it is as warm as
the finger will bear, and the whey is
in evidence all around the curd. Pour
all of this into a coarse bag and hang
it to drain in a cool place for four
hours, or over night if it is made in the
evening. When wanted, turn out Of
the bag, chop rather coarse with a
knife and season and dress with salt,
pepper and sweet cream. Some cooks
dress the cheese with sugar, cream
and a little nutmeg, and still others
chop it very fine, add salt, work IN a
very little cream or butter and mold
into small balls.

That smiles back at the sleeping sky:
TIE b!ilows. too. that leap and break
And fling their foamy Jewels high:
The silver clouds that one by one
Toss back the lances of the sun.
Tho stars that blaze a. jewels blaze,
And make the world old mystery.
while they on their appointed ways.
Go speeding through eternity
Across uufathomed seas of space
On paths that we but dimly trace
All those arc common-brook and bird,
And rose of red, and meadow green:

So common that they seem unseen,
And yet there is no day or night
But borrows all OF their delight
No common thing Is held apart
From us, or pent with lock and key
But i'm the goodness of His heart
They are all made for YOU and me.
