More About Samp. 
I read a communication from Albert 
Neilson, page 1013, asking why grits or 
hominy is called in this section samp. 
This question I cannot answer, but I 
agree with him when he says that most 
of the cornmeal sold is only fit for 
cows. But when he says that corn 
should be kept and dried a year before 
being ground or cracked into samp or 
hominy, I beg to differ with him. When 
I was a small boy my father always 
picked out the best ears of yellow corn 
in early Fall, and shelled it before it 
became dry, and it was hard work to 
shell it too. He then took it to the 
mill and had it cracked or coarsely 
ground while it had that new fresh 
flavor, which old corn can never have 
afterward. My mother used to spread 
it on a cotton sheet and stir it often, 
so that it would not become heated un¬ 
til it was used up. If Mr. Neilson will 
try one grist of this at home done in 
this way, he will not be sending to 
Maryland for his fodder any more. 
_ E. A. S. 
A Batch of Griddle Cakes. 
Hominy Fritters.—Reduce to a smooth 
paste a pint of cold boiled hominy and 
a tablespoonful of melted butter. Add 
three well beaten eggs. Then stir in a 
cupful of flour that has been sifted with 
a teaspoon ful of baking powder and thin 
with milk. The batter should drop, not 
run, from the end of a spoon. Drop by 
the spoonful into hot fat. Serve with 
maple syrup. 
Rye Pancakes.—Make a batter of one- 
half pint of milk, one, egg, a saltspoon 
of salt, one teaspoon of baking powder, 
and flour enough to make a rather thick 
batter. Sour milk and soda is better. 
Beat it well, drop it with spoon into hot 
fat, and fry. These were usually eaten 
with sugar, cider or lemon juice. 
Hygienic Pancakes.—Beat three eggs 
very light, add a teaspoonful of salt, four 
sifted shredded wheat biscuits and one 
cupful of whole wheat flour; mix thor¬ 
oughly and add one pint and a half of 
milk, a little at a time. Beat well, bake 
on a hot griddle and serve with maple 
syrup. 
Rice Cakes.—Beat three eggs very 
light, adding (keep beating) a cup of 
cold boiled rice. When thoroughly 
blended add three or four tablespoons of 
cream or rich milk, a pinch of salt, a 
spoonful of melted butter and just 
enough flour to hold it together. Make 
any fritter stiff with flour and it is 
ruined. Drop in spoonfuls in smoking 
hot butter. 
Raised Buckwheat Cakes.—Sift to¬ 
gether four cups of buckwheat and one 
small cup of cornmeal. Dissolve one 
yeast cake in half a cup of water. Then, 
after warming the flour, mix into it the 
yeast and four cups of warm water. Beat 
thoroughly, adding salt, and set it to 
rise in a warm place near the stove on 
cold nights. In the morning beat it up 
and add a teaspoonful of soda dissolved 
in a little milk. Have the griddle hot, 
and fry the cakes a golden brown. It 
can be renewed indefinitely by simply 
pouring cold water over the batter that 
is on hand after breakfast. When cakes 
are needed a second time, pour off the 
cold water (the batter will have sunk 
to the bottom of the crock) and add the 
same proportions of buckwheat and corn¬ 
meal that you did in starting the batter. 
Let it rise again overnight, adding the 
soda next day. When breakfast is over 
cover with cold water again. Buckwheat 
cakes are always better for being raised 
with yeast, as the flour is naturally 
heavy. 
GIRLHOOD 
AND 
Scott’s Emulsion 
are linked together. The 
reason is that at a period 
when a girl’s digestion is 
weak 
Scott's Emulsion 
provides her with powerful 
nourishment in easily di¬ 
gested form. 
It’s the food that builds 
and keeps up a girl’s 
strength.
