are
all in, add balance of flour and flavoring and beat.

Bake in a slow oven one and one-half hours.

Hints:--Secret of fine pound cake is in the mixing, much beating being
essential.

One-half the recipe serves fifteen persons amply.

A paler yellow cake can be had by substituting the whites of two eggs
for every yolk discarded.

In the full recipe not more than four yolks should be discarded.

A very little lemon combined with vanilla or almond, improves the flavor
of the cake.

Bake, if possible, in an old-fashioned tin pan with a center tube.

Doughnuts

1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup sour or butter milk
1 small teaspoon soda
Flour enough to make a soft dough
1 teaspoon baking powder

Mix eggs, sugar and butter; add sour milk or buttermilk with soda
dissolved. Then stir in flour with baking powder added.

Do not roll too thin.

Have lard boiling when you drop in the doughnuts. A slice of raw potato
in the lard will prevent the lard taste.

Cream Cake

1 Cup Butter
1 tablespoon Lard
2 cups Sugar
1 cup Sweet Milk
3 Eggs
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Vanilla

"We bear and rear and agonize. Well, if we are fit for that, we are fit
to have a voice in the fate of the man we bear. If we can bring forth
the man for the nation, we can sit with you in your councils and shape
the destiny of the nation and say whether it is for war or peace we give
the sons we bear." ~Joan in "War Brides."~
