BAKED BEANS.
One quart beans, soaked over night; in the morning put them in a kettle with cold water and boil ten minutes; change the water, and put with them a small piece of salt pork. Let them boil until nearly tender, then take them out of the kettle with a skimmer; put in a baking dish, with pork in the centre; cut the rind in small squares; sprinkle over the top one tablespoon of white sugar; bake three hours. If they bake dry, add the bean broth.

BREAD.
POTATO YEAST.
Three potatoes; boil and mash them in the morning; add one-quarter cup sugar, one-half cup flour, a little salt; after stirring well, pour over one-half pint boiling water; stir and add one-half pint cold water; stir that, and add one-half cup yeast, and put it in a warm place. When it is risen well and rounds up to the top of the dish, stir it down. Do so several times during the day, and at night strain and put it in a jug. Keep in a cool place. It will be good a week.
