An excellent quality of buttermilk may be made as follows: Allow sweet milk to stand (well covered) in a warm room until it thickens or coagulates; whip with an ordinary rotary egg beater without removing the cream.
HOME-MADE BUTTER
Sweet butter may be made in a few minutes from ordinary cream by placing it in a deep bowl and whipping with a rotary egg beater.
SUGGESTIONS CONCERNING THE SELECTION
AND THE PREPARATION OF CERTAIN
ARTICLES MENTIONED IN
THE MENUS
THE BANANA
The banana is a vegetable. It is one of our most valuable foods, as well as the most prolific. It will produce more food per acre, with less care and labor, than any other plant that grows.
While the banana grows only in the tropical countries, it is equally as good and useful to people of the northern zones.
Bananas that are transported to the North are cut green, and often immature; that is, before they have attained their full growth. This latter variety should never be used. In their green and unripened state, they are wholly unfit for food, and for these reasons there has arisen a broadcast prejudice against this most excellent article of diet.
