Remarks.
Having to stay over night at Howard Station, Ill, I found so nice a ginger snap on the breakfast table, I inquired how they were made, and found that they were made by a baker within a short distance of the hotel, who, upon my introducing myself, very kindly gave me the recipe, as above. But in my hurry, lest being left by the cars, I missed taking his name, so I cannot give him the proper credit, which^ ought to do, as bakers will very seldom part with their plans, or recipes, for doing their work. He charged particularly that spring wheat flour, such as was generally used in his neighborhood, would not do. Whether it is chargeable to their mills, or whether it is applicable to all spring wheat flour, I am not aware; a test in the north-western states will have to settle this point, as I have never had any of the flour to test it with.
