| Other recipes | How to Measure |
Level Mejisurements Only Are Used In These Recipes Flour, meal, powdered sugar and soda should be sifted before measuring. A cupful is measured level; do not shake down. A cup, as used in these recipes, holds one-half pint (two gills) of liquid, or one-half pound of granulated sugar or butter. A tin or glass measuring-cup, divided into quarters and thirds, can be purchased at any house-furnishing store for ten cents. To measure a level or teaspoon, make smooth with a knife but do not pat down. A half spoonful isTmeasured by cutting in half lengthwise; a fourth spoonful by cutting a half spoonful crosswise a little nearer the handle of the spoon. A "pinch" is as much as you can hold between the first finger and thumb. A family scale is a great convenience, both for use in cooking and for weighing purchases. equal teaspoons of liquid tablespoons of liquid gills " (2 pints) " of sifted flour " K cup " " cups " granulated sugar 2/^ " " powdered sugar " water or milk " "solid fat tablespoons of coffee " " cup gill or yi cup cup quart quart or pound or 4 ounces ounce ounce ounce ounce From Larkin Housewives' Cook Book, 1915, page 6.

| Eggs and cheese | To Egg and Crumb |
Before frying, dip the mixture in bread-crumbs, then in the egg, again in the crumbs. One of cold water may be used with the egg to good advantage. To prepare the crumbs put stale bread, thoroughly dried out, through the food-chopper, using the fine or coarse cutter according to the kind of crumbs required. THE cheaper cuts of beef are best suited for the making of soup —the vein, neck, flank, cheek and shin. Though quite tough and sinewy they are full of nutriment and flavor. Water cannot dissolve the fiber of the beef, so we therefore always remove the beef from the soup and make it over into meat dishes. The bones from roasts or poultry, or part of the steak from dinner, should all be put into a kettle, covered with cold water and simmered until the goodness is cooked out. Never boil soupmeat of any kind, for boiling hardens the meat without drawing out the goodness. Be quite sure to have a lid that closely fits the soup kettle or much of the goodness and flavor will pass off in the steam. From Larkin Housewives' Cook Book, 1915, page 7.

lean meat in small By doing so a larger amount of surface is exposed to the water and the juices are readily drawn out. Always cover soup-meat with cold water and bring slowly to the boiling-point. If a portion of the meat is browned before adding water, the soup will have a richer flavor. From Larkin Housewives' Cook Book, 1915, page 8.

To Prevent Cream of Tomato Soup Curdling Put soda with the tomato, allowing one-fourth teaspoon soda to two cups of tomatoes, then add to the thickened milk, stirring all the time. If you wish to keep the soup hot for a while, it in the separate sauce-pans and do not add the soda until ready to serve. From Larkin Housewives' Cook Book, 1915, page 8.

| Preserves, pickles and jellies | To Can Fruit |
The important points in canning are to have the fruit in good condition, the syrup clear, rightly proportioned and hot, the jars hot before putting in the fruit and then filled to overflowing. Keep jars in hot water until needed to fill, stand themcin a pan on a folded cloth with a little hot water in the pan. A wide-mouthed funnel is a great aid when doing the work. Have the covers for the jars in another dish of hot water; dip the rubbers as you place them on the jars. To can small fruits it is better to put the fruit into jars, then pour over the hot syrup and lay on the covers but do not screw down. Put some slats of wood into a wash-boiler so that the jars will stand steady, stand the jars upon them and pour enough warm water into the wash-boiler to come about half way up. Let the water boil five minutes, then take out the ja,ra and screw tight. Always open fruit some time using; the flavor will be much improved by so doing.
