CHEAPER CUTS OF MEAT.
When (ho housewlfo 1b busy with
tho houseclennlng or any henvy extra
work which occu
pies her nttontlon,
then is tho tlmo to
uso tho cheaper
meats in long
slow cooking
which will take
caro ot itself and
not need watching.
On wash day when tho top of tho
stove Is covered with tho boiler an
oven pot roast may bo most accept
able. Use a piece from tho hip, about
live pounds; tho bono may bo re
moved and tho meat cut In slices
Pound into the meat a cupful of flour,
a tablespoonful cS salt and a half tea
Bpoonful of pepper. Sear tho meat In
hot fat, add a pint of tomatoes and
water to barely cover; cook gently for
an hour. Then add a dpzen small
onions and cook two and a half hours
longer and servo surrounded with the
onions. Tho flour will thicken tho
gravy sufficiently. Tho bono that was
removed may bo broken up, covered
with cold water and tho broth kept
for various uses, either a soup or a
sauce, or a flavoring for a stow.
If one does not wish to use all the
moat of the chine or altch bone, a
portion of the meat left on tho bono
may bo cut In bits, a tablespoonful ot
minced onion added, a teaspoonful of
chopped parsley, some bits of fat ba
con or suet, a little lemon julco and
rind and salt and pepper, make into
balls and serve for a supper or a
luncheon dish with, potatoes.
If there Is not meat enough to make
Into balls, season as above and sprin
kle it over layers of cooked macaroni
and white sauce, then bako for a half
hour and serve hot.
A butcher remarked the other day,
"There Is no tough meat, It Is simply
the manner In which It is cooked
which makes meat tough." There is
certainly a good deal of truth in tho
statement, for very tough meat may
be made palatable by tho right treat
ment. Add a tablespoonful of vinegar
to the meat if a stow. Soak it in ollvo
oil and vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of
each, If it 1b a steak. It Is far better
to stew tough steak than to try to
broil it for tough meat should bo soft
ened by slow cooking. Slow cooking
means keeping tho temperature even
below the simmering point.
FOODS FOR THE BABY.
Orange juice Is a most wholesome
drink to give even very young ba
bies. Strain tho juice
and give a teaspoonful
not just after or before
tho milk feeding. Small
babies need cool water
to drink; their milk Is
a food, not a drink, and
a fretful baby is often
crying for a drink.
Oatmeal Water. Blond
one tablespoonful of oat
meal with a tablespoonful of cold wa
ter. Add a dash of salt and stir into
a quart of boiling -water. Boll three
hours, adding water as it boils away.
Strain through a fine siovo. A baby
six months old may bo fed oatmeal
or barley water or it may bo used in
preparing its food if fed from tho bot
tle. Barley water corrects looseness
of tho bowels and tho oatmeal the
tendency toward constipation.
Barley Water. Take two table
spoonfuls of barley, one quart of wa
ter, boll continuously for six hours,
adding enough water to keep a quart.
Strain through a njuslln. Soak tho
barley before putting it to cook.
Oatmeal Gruel. To three cupfuls of
boiling water add a half cupful of
oatmeal, and a half teaspoonful of
salt. Cook five hours in a double
boiler. Dilute with hot milk and
b train.
Arrowroot Gruel. This is a valuable
food In diarrhea. Mix two tablespoon
fuls of arrowroot, ono teaspoonful of
sugar, a pinch of salt with two table
spoonfuls of cold water. Add a cup
ful of boiling water, stirring con
stantly. Cook for 20 minutes, then
add two cupfuls of scalding milk, and
bring once more to tho boiling point.
Strain.
Toaat Water. Tako sufficient toast
when broken in bits to measure two
cupfuls. Add to this ono pint of boil
ing water and let stand an hour.
Strain through a cheese cloth. Servo
hot or cold.
Plain Bread Pudding. Scald a cup
ful of milk. To a beaten egg, add ono
tablespoonful of sugar and a pinch of
salt. Pour on this the scalding milk.
Add ono cupful of bread cut In half-
inch cubes. Bake in a buttered bak
ing dish in a moderate oven until tho
custard is set. Servo with cream.

TIMELY TIPS.
When cooking tomatoes to servo as
a vegetable add a quarter of a bay leaf
and a slice of outou
wtlh two cloves.
W h o 1 o peppercorna
aro hotter for seasoning
soups and sauces; they
may then be strained
out or removed.
Chopped preserved
ginger added to a little
sugar sirup and a table
spoonful poured over a
dish of ice cream mukes an elegant
dessert.
When milk or soup bolls over
sprinkle the Bpot with salt at onco,
it will prevent tho odor tilling the
house.
When traveling with bottles of toi
let preparations, put a strip of adhe
sive plaster over the cork to insure
safe carrying.
Old, loose kid gloves worn when
ironing or sweeping will save the
hands wonderfully.
Bananas which uro not quite ripe
may bo made most palatable by buk
Ing them in their skins.
Lard is much bettor to greaso all
gom and cako pans than butter. The
casein In tho butter scorches easily.
A cloth dipped Into hot water and
then Into bran used to clean white
paint works like a charm.
Add a small quantity of carbolic
acid to paste, mucilage or Ink; this
prevents mold forming.
Vinegar added In small quantities to
a beof stew will soften tho fiber aud
make the meat tender.
A fow drops of vinegar on the hands
will keep them soft and free froir
chapping.
Rico with soapsuds will clean hot
ties and small vases. Shake the rice
and suds often and the stains will dls
appear.
Sauce for Flth. Cook a smnll onion
In two tablespoonfuls of butter until
golden brown, add a grating of not
meg, a pinch of ground ginger and
cloves, salt and pepper and six toma
ties peeled and cut fine. Cook all to
gether until smooth.
A deed undone seems a little tiling,
But tho burden I might have shared
Has left a heurt with a bitter sting,
Of the thought that "nobody cared."

ALL SEEK FOR HAPPINESS
The One Thing for Which Mankind
May Be Said to Have a Univer
sal Desire.
Wo cannot pick ami choose- tlio
happenings of life any moro than wo
can Belect the circumstances of our
birth and death; wo aro but creatures
ot a wonderful destiny directed by
tho Almighty. It Is said that many
tragedies of llfo might bo averted if
wo "took our medicine like inon" and
did not put our personal happiness
above everything else. It is as nat
ural and to bo expected to long for
happiness and cling to It as for tho
flowers to turn to tho sun. Happiness
is tho great lamp of llfo which lights
our way through all sorts of shad
ows shadows that blur the vision
and mako long nights of our days,
shadows that terrify by their gro
tesque shapes and threatening as
pects, and shadows that bury In their
depths much that wo hold most dear.
Wo are Jealous of our happiness and
guard It as tho most precious thing
In life and when wo watch It go down
the long aisles of memory further
and further away from our yearning
oyes wo begin to plead for It, and
strlvo for it,- anil fight for it. Wo
batter tho walks of tho past In our
vain efforts to call it back boforo It
Is too late, and spend long dayB and
waste precious strength In tho futllo
endeavor to clutch It back to our
hearts. And all tho whilo, perhaps
right at our hands within easy reach,
happiness in a new guiso stands ready.

EXCELLENT FARMING
Letters from Settlers Indicating
Growing Prosperity.
Tho present year will add another
proof that farming in Western Canada,
when carried on with tho samo energy
and system dovoted to other lines of
Dusiness, will bring about results fully
as satisfactory.
Mixed farming as a tocsin has been
sounded for a number of years, and
today it is being adopted protty gen
erally throughout tho Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Thoro aro thoso who havo mado no
greater success of It than they did
when they pursuod grain growing
alono, but where ono has failed to ac
complish what ho had hoped to do,
dozens havo scored success.
From Sedgowlck, Alborta, wo hear of
E. L. Deputy, for past twelvo years
manager for Fryo & Sons, packers,
Seattle, who during 1911 woro tho
largest buyers ot hogs on Alborta
markets. He is taking up active work
on his 3,200-acro farm near Sedge
wick. Although ho was ono ot tho
highest paid salaried officials on tho
Pacific Coast, his frequent visits and
personal knowledgo ot farming condi
tions In Western Canada convinced
him there aro greater opportunities in
farming Alborta land than In commer
cial life, with greater assuranco of
ultimate independence and prospects
of homo-making under tho moat de
sirable conditions.
Thomas McKay, a, farmer near Har
dlsty, Alborta, has this to aay about
the country:
"I came to Hardlsty from Osago
City, Kansas, nlno years ago and took
up a homcBtead here. This is a good
district for the farmer who wishes to
raise grain exclusively, and as a mixed
farming country It cannot bo beaten
anywhero In tho world to my knowl
edge. "I had ten cattle, wiiichranged out
side all last winter, and this spring
they woro fat enough for tho market,
this without bplng fed but ono night
during tho entire winter; thoy were
line fat cattle and looked beautiful. I
raised somo winter wheat hero which
weighed slxty-sovcn and a half pounds
to tho bushel, government weight, and
which I shipped to Calgary. Tho mil
ler who bought It said that It was tho
best wheat that has over gono into
Calgary. Wheat In this district yields
as high as forty bushels to tho aero,
oats averago sixty bushels. Alfalfa
does well hero,
"All In all 1 think tho farmers are
very well satlallod with tho country,
and tlio farmer who farms his land
intelligently Is suro to mako a suc
cess. Tho climate hero 1b tho bust I
havo ever lived In, tho summers are
delightful and tho wlnterB aro mild,
Thoro has nevor been a blizzard dur
ing the nlno years I havo lived horo
nor any cyclones or wind storms."
