DRY YEAST

T.ike a large handful of hops, tie up in a cloth and place in a crock or bright stew pan ; pour one and one-half quarts boiling water over them and steep fifteen minutes ; remove from fire, squeeze the water from the hops and lay them aside ; put one quart flour, one tablespoonful of gin- ger and three of sugar into the hot water, which should be hot enough to thoroughily scald the flour; when cool add a couple of cakes of good dry yeast ; then stir the mixture frequently; every time.it rises, stir it down again; let it stand over night; the next morning stir as before; when it is all a light foam, stir thick with corn meal ; make into cakes and dry in the shade.
