Ox-Tail Soup

The vegetables are to be put in whole and removed with the beef when the soup is done. Let the soup boil five or six hours.

Best Hop Yeast

Mrs. C. G. Du Bois.

Take five potatoes and one handful of hops, and boil in two quarts of water. After mashing the potatoes, add one tablespoonful of flour, one of molasses, half cupful of brown sugar, and half cupful of salt. Scald all with the two quarts of water. When cool add one teacupful of yeast; leave it in a warm place for twenty-four hours, stirring often. It will not rise, but ferment. The oftener it is stirred the better. Then jug it.

Ice Cream

Mrs. L. Cheek.

One quart of good cream, a large coffee cupful of sugar; well-beaten, and flavor to taste.

Pressed Beef

Mrs. H. K. W. Bent.

The best piece for this purpose is what is called at the market a "shank." Boil till the meat is ready to fall from the bones, and remove from the kettle to cool. Boil down the broth to about a pint, and add half a box of Cox's gelatine, soaked till soft. Chop the meat - including the fat and soft gelatine - very fine, and season to taste with salt, pep-per, made mustard, and herbs. Pour over it the broth, pack closely, and set aside, under a heavy weight, till next day. It will turn out solid, and shave in thin slices.
