THE KITCHEN.

(>ema ot Boiled Oat*. Soak two cups of rolled oats for flvo hours (or over night) In cups of sour milk. Add one teaspoonful (level) of soda, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teacupful of light-brown sugar, one teacupful of sifted flour, and two wellbeaten eggs, in the order given, the soda dissolved in a little water. Bake In hot, well-greased gem pans, in a hot oven, for twenty-five minutes. Orange Cake. Take two even teacupfuls each ot sugarand flour, half cupful.of water, the yolks of five eggs beaten very light, also the whites of four, the juice and grated rind of one orange, and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted with the flour. Bake in four layers. Take the juice and grated rina of one large or two small oranges, three-fourths of a teacupful of sugar, and the white of one egg beaten stiff. Spread this between layers, adding more sugar to that used for the top. A Broad Omelette. One cup of fine bread crumbs moistened with half a cup of milk, three eggs, white and yolk beaten separately, adding the whites last to the crumbs. . Season with salt and pepper. Put in the skillet or omelette pan a good bit of butter, and when it begins to “sizzle"’ pour in the omelette. Shake the pan all the time, and turn in the frothing and browning edges over into the middle constantly. Fold one-half over, put a hot plate upon the pan, turn this over, and your omelette is dished. Indian Meal Mash. To each teacupful corn meal add a teaspoonful of salt, and a half teacupful of cold water; next, add five teacuptuls of boiling water, stirring steadily. Place over the fire in a smooth iron kettje; stir steadily until it begins to bubble, cover tightly, place on back of stove to\bubble steadily for an hour. This is a great improvement upon the tedious process of sifting the meal through the fillers, forming a few Jumps with the greatest care. Besides, there is no danger of adding too much meal for the quantity of water, which, of course, prevents a full expansion of the granules, rcsultinf Id a raw, unpleasant flavor.
