Serva Egg3.
By LIDA AWES WILLIS.
Sally Lunn No. 1.-Paney breakfast
breads are enjoyed more at this sea
son than at any other time. The
housewife who prefers yeast to baking
.powder will be repaid for the extra
trouble in making her Sally Lunns by
this old-time recipe:

spoonfuls of butter, and let cooi.
When lukewarm add salt, sugar, yeast
and flour. Beat well, cover and set to
raise until very light, which will re
quire about two hours In summer, but
longer In winter. Beat the yolks and
whites of the eggs separately, add
them to the batter and stir lightly
Let rise for IS minutes. Place In pans
and bake in a moderr'.e oven for 40
minutes, serve hot.

cups of sifted flour, half a teaspoonful
of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar
and two teaspoonfuls of baking pow

Into the dry materials. Beat to a
smooth batt?r and bake from twenty
to thirty minutes In a quick oven.

a tablespoonful of butter and a table
spoonful of sugar. Then add the stiff
ly beaten whites of four eggs. Mix
well. Add a saltspoonful of salt, and
three teaspoonfuls of baking powder
to three cups of sifted flour and add
to the butter and sugar mixture, alter
nating with a pint of milk. Have your

well grossed. Fill two-thirds full and
bake about twenty-five minutes in a
ho*, oven.

Savory Sauce.

Sold Hogs by Telephone
A South Carolina farmer had a large number
of hogs which were ready to kill. The weather
was so warm that killing was out of the question.
He went to his telephone, called a dealer in
Columbia over Long Distance and sold his hogs
at a good price. He then called the local freight
office and arranged for shipment.
The telephone is now a necessity on the farm.
You can have one on your farm at small cost.
