Brown Bread

• 1 cup corn meal
  1 cup graham flour
  1 cup rye flour
  1½ teaspoons salt
  ½ cup molasses
  2 cups sour milk
  1½ teaspoons soda

Sift the soda through a very fine sieve, add to dry ingredients and sift again. Add molasses and sour milk, beat well. Pour into buttered molds and steam three hours. If a hard crust is desired, remove bread from molds and bake fifteen minutes.
