One pt. of buttermilk, 1 l/2 teaspoonfuls of soda, 1/2 cupful of
shortening, 1 teaspoonful of white sugar, a little salt, flour to
make a medium dough. Bake at once.

In the morning take 3 tablespoonfuls of flour, 2 of sugar,
and 2 of salt, and beat till smooth. Pour over this 1 pt. of
boiling water; when this is cool or lukewarm add 2 dry yeast
cakes and let rise until noon. At noon boil 12 large potatoes;
mash fine, add 1 qt. of boiling water and 1 qt. of cold water.
When lukewarm stir into it the mixture made in the morning,
and let it rise until the next morning. This is all the moisture
required for the bread and 1 pt. of it makes a good sized loaf.
Take as many pints of this yeast as you wish loaves, mix
thoroughly into the flour until thick enough to knead well; let
rise and bake.
