iron or tin gem pans, the cups an inch and a half deep.--_Mrs.

BACHELORS' CORN PONE.

From MRS. MARY B. P. BLACK, of West Virginia, Alternate Lady Manager.

One pint sifted corn meal; one pint buttermilk (or other sour milk or
cream); two eggs, beaten separately; tablespoonful of butter and lard

soda; add yolks of eggs, well beaten; then soda, having dissolved the
same in the retained buttermilk, mixing well, while it effervesces;
then lard and butter, either melted or cut into shreds; lastly, white
of eggs, beaten to stiff froth. Bake in shallow pan, 20 or 25 minutes.
