Wash and peel 6 medium sized potatoes, cut into quarters and boil until soft. While the potatoes are cooking, steep a handful of hops in 1 pt water. When the potatoes are well done, mash them fine, sift over them 1 pt flour, add 1/2 pt sugar and scant 1/4 pt salt. Mix well and then pour over this the hot water in which the potatoes were cooked and the strained water in which the hops were steeped, and beat all well together until smooth. Then add enough water to make 1 gal in all. When lukewarm add 2 cakes compressed yeast, thoroughly dissolved in a little lukewarm water. Stir well and set away in a warm place until it ferments and is light, then pour in a jug, cork tightly, and keep in cool place. Use about 1/2 pt of this yeast for a baking of bread.-[Mrs. H. C.
