USES FOR SOUR MILK.

TINE housewife often finds herself
with unexpected bottles of sour
milk or cream on her hands.
She should not be tempted TO throw it
away. for It is wholesome and easily
digested and there are numerous ways
OF disposing of it If the family de-
clines to eat plain clabber.
on n hot day fruit salad with sour
cream dressing is appetizing. With
crisp fresh lettuce as a basis any fruit
or combination OF fruits will make a
good salad. one combination includes
cold boiled rice. sour currants and a
ball OF Dutch or cottage cheese. An
other combination Is peaches and
bananas favored with a Glove of garlic
and some finely chopped parsley.
A recipe for sour cream dressing is
10 beat slowly with n fork into every
half cup of thick sour cream--the
thicker tho better-the juice of half a
lemon. adding salt. sugar and cayenne
to taste.
Dutch cheese can DO made from sour
milk. When solid and thick the milk
should bc put in an agate basin or pan
over a slow. gentle heat and allowed
to become sCaldlng hot but never To
boil; boiling turns the curd to tough
leathery consstonce and renders 1t in
digcstible, a clean finger Is the hest
Thermometer; as the curd forms in the
centre OF the pan and tho water re-
cedes TO the edges separate the curd
carefully with the finger so that the
heat will be evenly distributed through
1t, but do not break 1t up too much.
When the water or whey becomes
scalding hot remove the pan from the
fire, pour the contents into n cheese
cloth bag and hang it up to drain
When 1t has stopped dripping turn the
cheese into a bowl, add salt. a gen
| erous dash OF cayenne pepper, and
enough sour cream to thin It so that II
may be made into balls. Keep il In n
dry place where 1t will not mould and
1t will improve with age. When It be.
comes dry moisten 1t again with soui
cream or the sour cream dressing
Skim all the cream off the milk be-
fore putting 1t in tho pan, as the cream
melts In the hot whey and Is lost.
| Cayenne pepper adds largely to the
tastiness as we'll as the diEestibility Of
all dishes made from cream or mill
and is good stomach tonic in hot
weather.

Even for a short stay woman should
