About this book
Motherly Talks with Young Housekeepers, by Mrs. H. W. Beecher, embraces eighty-seven brief articles on topics of home interest, and about five hundred choice receipts for cooking, etc. The preface calls the book, composed of brief and pithy articles, on almost every conceivable point of household duty, a friendly monitor for young wives and a mine of good sense and information for growing maidens.
An article headed XIII. PURE AIR AND THOROUGH VENTILATION says that at all seasons of the year it is important that the house should be kept dry and well ventilated, but that extra precautions are necessary in warm weather. The article says one of the best preventives is a quick blaze, in an open fireplace or stove, immediately after rising, no matter how warm the weather may be. A text about butter says to take care that cows are not allowed food that will affect the taste of the milk, such as turnips, cabbage, or onions. The text says Parmesan is made in several parts of Lombardy and that many suppose it is made from goat's milk, but it is simply from cow's milk skimmed.
