Sweet Potato Corn Bread

Mrs. H. A. Martin

Boil four small or three large sweet potatoes, put through vegetable press. While they are hot mix with them a tablespoon of butter, seven-eights cup of milk, one teaspoon salt, one and on-half cups corn meal, one egg beaten thoroughly. Beat the batter smooth, add one heaping teaspoon of baking powder and bake in a shallow tin. Serve the bread hot, breaking, not cutting.

Mother's Brown Bread

Mrs. A. M. Wilcox

One cup sour milk, one cup sweet milk, two cups corn meal, one cup flour, one cup molasses, one rounded teaspoon soda, one-fourth teaspoon salt. Steam in covered mould three hours. This is sufficient for four baking powder cans. The batter is very thin and needs considerable room for rising.
