II must be kept warm. A little practice will
show the makers OF bread how to bring it to
perfection.
Scald a heaping tablespoon Of corn

the milk at boiling point and use only
enough 10 scald the meal. Set the cup in
warm water and keep it warm until bed
time. In the morning If the meal is not

meal is light or full Of bubbles. Then mix a
pint Of warm water. a small pinch Of soda,
and the same Of sugar. and stir in -four

pour, add the rising Of meal. This sponge
should be light in one hour. Put in salt ac-
oording TO taste and mix stiff enough for
ioaves but not as stiff as for yeast bread.
Use deep bread pans and when light bake in
brisk oven. MRS. J. D. B.
This recipe differs from those I myself
have used. The one recommend begins by
dissolvlng a half teaspoon of salt in two
cups OF scaldIng water. whipping in gradu-
ally enough -four to make a soft dough, and
after beating this for ten minutes 1t is COW

and this is then worked into the risen dough
or sponge. When all are thoroughly mixed
they are covered. left in a warm place until
Hight, and then enough -four is worked in to
make q mixture the consistency Of ordinary
bread dough, the loaves are made out, and
when risen are baked.
I have another recipe IN which cornmeal

salt is put with the beginning mixture
hence " salt rising"
With the choice between these two rec

our readers will fnd themselves sufficiently
supplied. I dislike to have to seem unac-
commodRting when I have to refuse TO re-

Same recipe as often as correspondents
request It. To take few examples: Ber-

pickles, bran bread and biscuit, and risen

demanded and given as often as chop suey
