Many Good Ways to Use Sour Milk and Cream 
Don’t Waste Milk that Turns but Try these Appetising Recipes 
S UMMER is coming again and with 
warm weather we always have plenty 
of good sour milk and cream to use. 
Somehow sour milk in the winter seems 
to have a bitter taste, and gets old before 
it is really thick enough. But in the 
summer it “lobbers” so easily and there 
are many good things one can use it for. 
We save about four quarts of milk every 
night and in the morning there is a nice 
lot of cream to skim off and use, either 
sweet or sour, in many delicious dishes. 
Here are a few recipes which are very 
satisfactory: 
1 heaping teaspoon 
baking powder 
Sour Cream Filled Cookies 
1 heaping cup brown 34 teaspoon soda 
sugar 
1 egg 
1 cup sour cream with 
A little salt and nutmeg or lemon 
flavoring; flour to stir soft, yet stiff enough 
to roll or pat into shape. Each cookie 
should be rolled thin, a tablespoonful of 
filling put on and another cookie pressed 
down on top. These are delicious. The 
filling is made as follows: 
and sour cream in some way every day. 
Who has a better right or a better chance 
to use all the milk he wants if not the 
farmer?— Doris W. Blount. 
A New Use for Shelled Corn 
Sour Cream Salad Dressing 
54 cup sour cream 1 or 2 tablespoons 
2 tablespoons vinegar sugar 
pepper 14 teaspoon mustard 
salt 
1 cup chopped or seed- 1 heaping tablespoon 
less raisins flour 
54 cup sugar pinch of salt. 
1 cup hot water 
Cook until thick, then let cool before 
using. 
O NE may have great comfort with a 
bag of hot corn applied to an aching 
spot. Simply use 2 to 234 quarts of 
shelled corn, heating it either by spread¬ 
ing out on the oven bottom or quicker 
in a dish, stirring to heat evenly. Then 
put in a bag—25 lb. sugar sack is good- 
tying near the top so the corn can be 
moved around in it to fit the need. For 
instance with a lame knee, put part of the 
corn under it and pull the rest up on top. 
Stir all together and use in salads. It 
is especially good with cabbage, lettuce 
and egg salads. 
Sour Cream Fried Cakes 
1 scant cup sour milk 1 heaping tablespoon 
1 cup sugar sour cream 
1 large mashed potato 2 beaten eggs 
1 teaspoon soda (even) 
A little salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to 
taste. (We like a combination of nutmeg 
and vanilla.) 
Bread flour to stir quite stiff so the 
fried cakes will hold their shape. 
Sour Cream Muffins or Popovers 
% cup sour milk 1)4 cups white or whole 
cup sour cream wheat flour 
1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon soda 
a little salt 
Bake in gem tins in a hot oven. 
Sour Cream Baking Powder Biscuits 
2 cups white flour 1 heaping tablespoon 
sa ]t sour cream with a 
2 heaping teaspoons pinch of soda added 
baking powder to it. 
1 tablespoon lard 1 cup sweet milk, 
(small) 
Stir soft with sweet milk (about one 
cupful). Add flour until dough can be 
formed into biscuits with the hands or 
rolled and cut out with a biscuit cutter. 
This recipe makes the tenderest shortcake 
and dumpling crust, and is also, good for 
steamed pudding where fruit is added. 
I have used it for chicken and meat pies 
also. 
Sour Cream Griddle Cakes 
2 cups sour milk 1 cup canned sweet 
2 tablespoons sour corn (drained) 
cream 2 teaspoons soda 
2 cups white flour 1 egg 
a little salt 
Bake on hot greased griddle. 
Sour Cream Johnny Cake 
54 cup sour milk 134 cups meal 
a little salt 34 cup sour cream 
1 or 2 tablespoons 34 cup white flour 
sugar, maple sugar sifted with 
or syrup 1 teaspoon soda 
Sour Cream Graham Loaf 
2 large cups sour milk 
salt 
2 teaspoons soda in A 
cup white flour 
2 tablespoons sugar 
(white or maple) 
2 cups graham flour 
or a little more if the 
milk is rather thin 
1 heaping tablespoon 
or A cup sour cream 
1 egg (can be omitted 
but makes firmer 
loaf) 
2 tablespoons molasses 
(or maple syrup) 
This makes one large loaf. Let rise 
in tin about fifteen minutes, then bake 
slowly for nearly an hour. 
Eggless Chocolate Loaf Cake 
54 cup sour milk 34 cup sour cream 
1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 
1 teaspoon soda sifted 34 cup dry cocoa added 
with l as t 
134 cups flour 
Bake slowly or it will scorch.

Fourth Avenue, New York, N. Y. Cool and Becoming 
door shut. But the latch yielded readily 
beneath my hand, so I went in, and 
closed and barred the door behind me. 
For upon the hearth a fire burned with 
a dim, red glow that filled the place with 
shadows, and the shadows were very deep. 
“Charmian!” said I, “oh, Charmian, 
are you there—have I guessed right? 
I heard a rustle beside me, and, in the 
gloom came a hand to meet and clasp my 
own; wherefore I stooped and kissed those 
slender fingers, drawing her into the fire- 
glow; and her eyes were hidden by their 
lashes, and the glow of the fire seemed 
reflected in her cheeks. 
“The candles were so—bright, Peter,” 
she whispered. 
“Yes.” 
“I was sitting on the bench outside.” 
“And, when you heard me—you put 
the candles out?” _ fj 
“They seemed so—very bright, Peter. ’ 
“And shut the door?” 
“I only—just—closed it, Peter.” She 
was still wrapped in her cloak, wherefore 
I put back the hood from her face. And 
as I did so, her hair fell down, rippling 
over my arm, and covering us both in its 
splendor. . 
“Indeed—you have glorious hair!” 
said I. “It seems wonderful to think that 
you are my wife. I can scarcely believe 
it—even yet!” 
Now, when I would have kissed her, she 
turned her head aside. - 
“Peter.” { 
“Yes, Charmian?” 
“The Lady Sophia Sefton never did 
gallop her horse up the steps of St. Paul’s 
Cathedral.” 
“Didn’t she, Charmian?” 
“And, Peter—” 
“Well, Charmian?” 
“She never was—and never will be— 
buxom, or strapping—will she?‘buxom’ 
is such a hateful word, Peter! And you— 
love her?—wait, Peter—as much as ever 
you loved Charmian Brown? 
“Yes,” said I; “yes—” 
“And—nearly as much as your dream- 
woman?” 
“More—much more, because you are 
the embodiment of all my dreams—you 
always will be, Charmian. Because I 
honor you for your intellect; and worship 
you for your gentleness, and spotless 
purity; and love you with all my strength 
for your warm, sweet womanhood; and 
because you are so strong, and beautiful, 
and proud—” 
“And because, Peter, because I am— 
just—your loving—Humble Person.” 
A ND thus it was I went forth a fool, 
and toiled and suffered and loved, 
and, in the end, got me some little wisdom. 
And thus did I, all unworthy as I /m, 
win the heart of a noble woman whose love 
I pray will endure, even as mine will, 
when we shall have journeyed to the end 
of this Broad Highway, which is Life, 
and into the mystery of the Beyond.

This should be quite stiff so it will not 
fall. Bake slowly and serve when warm. 
Very good. 
There is no danger of being burned nor 
soaked with water as sometimes happens. 
It can be kept ready for use in the bag. 
If thoroughly heated through it will hold 
the heat for some time.— Mrs. Jessie
