wheat, and with the measure of warm water, beat till all are well mixed. To this, add the salt, mo- lasses and yeast, which should be dissolved in a little water. Now beat all five or six minutes, and set to rise in a warm place, over night. A pitcher, is very convenient to fry buckwheats from, which should be covered with a thick cloth, over night.

In the morning beat your batter well and set it near the fire for a second rising. Buckwheats are not in perfection without soda, which should be added whether the cakes are sour or not, but not till just before they are baked. When breakfast is on the table, dissolve an even teaspoonful of soda in a little warm water, stir it well into the batter, and bake. Serve them as quick as possible from the griddle.

Indian meal makes buckwheats much more ten- der than flour ; they are much better made with milk than water.
