I i Oyster Soup. ..." 1 1 As this is just the time when oystern aro at their test the following recipe for making oyster soup will be of interest to housekeepers: , ) Two quarts of oysters, three pints of new milt, three ounces of butter, ene acd one-half ounces of flour, salt and pepper to taste, arid mace, if liked. Put the milk over boiling water; drain !the oysters and put the liquor in a saucepan ou the stove; wash the oyptt ra and re move every .article of shell that may ad here to them. When tht milk is hot add the butter and; flour, rubbed smoothly together and tHinned .with a little of the milk, let it cook, stirring slowly, until slightly thickened; the liquor, which must be well boiled, .skimmed and' hot, may then be added, and after that the drained oysters. As soon as they are well puffed and the edges somewhat" curl ed serve the soup. Haifa pint of rich cam is a great improvement and may be used instead; c f the butter. Serve with tbem a plate of small crackers, crisped in the oven. i Saye your money by buying your Build ng Supp lies from Altaffer & Price, i f Skatine Tournament.
