Continue the process with a layer of each (except butter, salt and pepper) until it is one and one-half inches thick; then add enough sweet milk to wetBaked Cheese. Put in the oven and bake until sufficiently dry to cut in blocks two and one-half inches square. Serve hot on toast. Nannie Jones. SLIP. Slip is bonny-clabber, without its acidity, and so delicate is its flavor that many like it as well as ice-cream. Prepare it thus: Make one quart of milk moderately warm, stir into it one dessert-spoonful of the prepara- tion called rennet; set it away t6 cool; it will be then as stiff as jelly; make it only a few hours before using or it will be tough and watery; when possible set dish on ice after it has jellied. Serve with powdered sugar, nutmeg and cream. Prudence M. S. MACARONI AND CHEESE. Take one-half of a package of macaroni, break Into pieces two inches in length.

The milk must be fresh and rich. Put each quart in a separate dish; after it has thickened remove the cream and prepare it as for cottage cheese, drain it well to separate it from all the whey. When this is done take a granite colander, sprinkle the bottom with salt and caraway seed, on this put a layer of curds (one quart), next one of cream, again salt and caraway seed and one of curds until all is used up. The last layer must be of curds; let it stand two or three days, then turn out and serve. Fraulein. MOTHER'S CREAM CHEESE. Scald the quantity of milk desired, let cool a trifle, then add the ren- net (see directions on the packages of "Prepared Rennet"). When the curd is formed take out without breaking and lay on a cheese-cloth supported on all sides so that it will drain; and then put it under a light press for one hour; now break the curd gently with the fingers into small pieces, put in a cloth and press for an hour; take out, rub with fine salt, let lie on a board for an hour, and wash in cold water; then let drain, and in a day or two the skin will look dry; put some sweet grass under and over and it will soon ripen. E. M. C. CHICAGO CHEESE STRAWS. Roll some puff paste very thin, sprinkle over with grated cheese, fold, roll out, and sprinkle again; then repeat the process and place on the ice to harden.

Bake and serve piled in triangles or squares. M. L, C. SAGE CHEESE.
