ABOUT BREAD-MAKMO. 



How many or the young lady Bubal readera 

 are there who can make a loaf of bread so that it 

 will come to the table wholesome and palatable? 

 '■ Pooh," some of yon will say, " I am not going 

 Into the kitchen and muss around merely to learn 

 to make bread— simple stuff as that is! Anybody 

 can make bwadl" Not bo fast, young Mlssea, No 

 doubt you pride yourselves on making "Bplendid 

 loaf cake," and rich pastries, for festive occasions, 

 where you will receive much praise for your ef- 

 forts; but can you make good bread— from the 

 beginning to the end of the process? It Is a com- 

 paratively easy matter to weigh certain specified 

 quantities of (lour, sugar, butter, Ao., and putthem 

 together, and bake them. You work by rule, but 

 bread is made more by rote— of smaller or larger 

 quantities— and requires skill, and attention, and 

 practice to enable you to produce the fine-grained, 

 beautiful loaf. 



Some of you have probably made yeast, and 

 mixed bread, while "Ma," or the housekeeper, or 

 some one, waa in the kitchen to refer to, aa to how 

 much water and flonr, or how hard to mix, or bow 

 long to rise, Ac, and consider yourselves expert, 

 and finished in the art But suppose "Ma" was 

 sick, and the servants gone— could you make such 

 good bread that "Pa" 

 ference, or would praiBi 

 Besides, would " PaV 

 Perhaps the kitchen girl is t 

 and the " daily bread" is poor— not litto eat Did 

 it ever occur to yon to step Into the kitchen and 

 soil your fair hands by producing nice bread for 

 your parents, and brothers, and slaters, to eat — 

 and would their pleasure more than repay you? 



Borne young ladies will exert themselves for com- 

 pany' sake, but •' cannot afford to bother so much 

 for only father and mother," wbilo all the time 

 they are mourning or moping because father Is 

 not able to buy them a piano, or all the llumniery 

 and gewgaws they would like to put on and parade 

 to the envy of those less favored. And yet they 

 do not know bow to make good bread, or boll a 

 kettle of potatoes properly! Why not become 

 skilled in those more important accomplishments 

 within your reach?— then, if, in process of time, 

 you should have an opportunity, you can learn the 

 ornamental without neglecting the useful. Learn 

 to make and bake bread, for it la Important to 

 know that dough is not bread, and there is more 

 spoiled In baking than there ts made good, and it 

 is the most important point of bread-making, to 

 bake properly. Learn to boil potatoes, to make a 

 good cup of tea, if any, and to out and make a 

 shirt, and dress, before you ory for a piano, or a 

 carriage And not only learn to do all these things, 

 but do them gracefully, sweetly, pleasantly, cheer- 

 fully; for it is a mistaken idea that grace and ease 

 does not very much add to even domestic employ- 

 ments. If after all this yon do not get a sensible,

PRESERVING BTJ1TEB.-PIES AMD TABT8. 



Messrs. Ens :— A correspondent asks for a reci- 

 pe for preserving butter. I do it in the following 

 way:— Tske 8 ounces of fine salt; 4 ounces ofBalt- 

 petre; 4 ounces loaf sugar— mix well together- 

 after the butter has been salted (not as much as 

 usual,) and well worked, so that no bnttermllk can 

 be pressed out, I add one small tablespoouful of 

 the mixture to every pound of bulter. Pack close- 

 ly In stone jars— cover ee as to exclude the air. 

 Keep in a cool place and it will be good a long 

 time. 



I copy a recipe said to be much need In Scot- 

 land:— "Take two quarts best common salt; one 

 ounce saltpetre; one ounce loaf sugar— take one 

 ounce of this composition for every pound oT but- 

 ter, and close up for use. Butter cured In this 

 way appears of a rich marrowy consistency, and 

 never acquires a brittle hardness. It should stand 

 several weeks before it Is used, or it will taato of 

 tbe nitre. This will wholly disappear afterwards. 



Rebp Steak Pie.— Take some ramp steaks, beat 

 them with a rolling pin, then season with pepper, 

 salt, and butter — make a crust, lay in your steaks; 

 our in water enough to half till the dish. Put on 



Mutton Pis.— Take off the skin and outside part 

 f a loin of mutton, and cut it into steaks— season 

 i for beef pie. Cover well with water, and only 



Pastb for Costard. — To half a pound of Hour, 

 ike two ounces of butter; tbe yolks of two eggs; 

 tree spoonfuls of sweet cream. Add a little sweet 

 illk If necessary — mis well together, and have II 



ith a plut of boiling cream and tbreo ounces of 



Grrbk Atplb Pie.— Make a nice paste with lard 

 rubbed Into Hour— mix with water— If you wieh to 

 have It (lakey. roll it thin, spread on lard or butter, 

 iprinkle Sour over it Then roll it up and re- 

 tbe process several times. Line your tins 

 the paste, and fill with good greening opplea, 

 pared and sliced thin. Pour in a little water, dust 

 I s small handful of Hour, and put In a good supply 

 of sugar, at least half a teacupful to each pie, A few 

 small slices or butter and some spice or cinnamon 

 sboald be added before putting on the cover. Bake 



Tbast Dumplings.— Two cups of milk; half a 

 cup of good yeast; a little salt, and flour enough 

 to make a batter as thick as pancakes— when sur- 

 ficently light, mix It stiff aa for bread. Let it 

 stand till again raised, and knead it well, adding 

 more flour— make into balls as large aa a walnut 

 After Btanding a few minutes they will be ready 

 for use. They will be found very ufce for chicken 

 pot-pie, or may be boiled in clear water and served 

 with melted batter. «. x. w.
