USEFUL FROSTINGS. Frostlngs on cake are not simply decorative although that Is an Impor tant featuro of it good frosting, but they also preserve the cake, keeping It moist nnd fresh Innircr than the uncovered cake, Flavor is also add ed to a cake by proper use of dif ferent flavors In the frostlngs. By adding richness und flavor to a cake, frosting has a long list of things In Its favor. The uncooked frostlngs arc especial ly economical In the time snved In the preparation. The flavoring is entirely preserved In tho frosting as the heat In baking destroys much of the volatile flnvors.- While the caku Is cooling tile frost Ing should be made, and If It Is to be served at once, the kind of frosting best to use is .the uncooked one, using the white of an egg, beaten ; adding an equal volume of water or fruit Juice and powdered sugar to the consistency to spread. If It must stand, cover with n damp cloth. If fruit Juice is not used, any ilnvor desired may be add ed with the water. a Plain Boiled Frosting. Beat the white of an egg until light and while beating, have cooking a cupful of sugar and a quarter of a cupful of water, when the sirup is honeyllke In consist' ency pour three tnniespoonfuls over the beaten egg, continue beating, and continue cooking the sirup until It hairs, then pour the remainder over the egg slowly and bent until stiff enough to put on thu cake. A frosting made In this way will keep longer. will have a shiny turface and a croamy consistency underneath. When frosting Is overcooked nnd be comes too hard nfter beating, add n little lemon juice, uoiung water or cream; very small amounts will maku tho frosting smooth. If It. Is too thin add n little powdered sugar to thicken It. Tho frosting will not bo as good, but better than 'o try to use It too thin. Atmospheric conditions often piny havo" with boiling sugur. A damp rainy rty the frosting Is apt to be ttlck eve" when boiling as usuul. SEASONABLE O.SHES.

GOOD ROAD WORK IN WINTER Maintenance of Dirt Roads Is Prob lem Confronting Farmer Mak ing Split-Log Drag. One of the problems confronting tho farmer Is tho question of maintenance of dirt roads. Not only should dirt roads be maintained during tho spring and summer months, but tho winter months ns well ; especially Is this truu where there is not an overabundance of snow, which conditions exist with many of our renders. Tho King road drag may be used with much benefit during tho winter months, just nfter thaws or rains. Good work can bo dona at this time of tho year because tho soil Is crum bly or mealy and pushes easily toward tho center of tho road. If tho road lias been properly cured for during tho summer and fall, it will be only n slight task to drag It dur ing the winter when conditions nro right At that season of tho year thero Is llttlo for the work team to do nnd in early spring tho roads will bo in shnpo to turn water nnd permit of early drying. In fact, the winter- dragged rouds will be dry und hard in the spring when neglected roads will be soft, rutty and springy. Thero Is no best time to drag roads. Go after tho work nnd then drag whenever you can during the winter; then your roads will bo in good shape next spring. Make a split-log rond drag and keep It going on the highway. D. Ward King, the inventor of tho drag, gives tho following directions for making a split-log fdrng: Take tho two halves of n split log, ten or twelve Inches thick and seven to nine feet long. Set tho halves flat sides to tho front, fasten 110 Inches apart with strong stakes, tho ends of which nro wedged In two-Inch auger holes, bored through tho slabs. Put u solid plank platform on the stakes for the driver to stand on. Tho hitch is mnde of strong wlro or chain, tho long end fastened to stake over tho top of the front slab, tho short end should bo put through a holo mndo la center of the slab nnd near tho end to prevent tho bnck slab tilting forward. Faco four or flvo feet of tho ditch end of the front slnb with iron. An old wagon tire, worn share ot road grader, or any pleco of flat steel will answer fot this purpose. As u general rule, always haul the drag at an angle of 45 degrees, mov ing the dirt to tho center of tho road CHURCH TO HELP GOOD ROADS Isolation and Solitary Confinement of Women Do Much Toward Fill ing Insane Asylums. , In a lecturo on "Tho Ckurck und Good Itonds" the Rov. James Thomaf told the ministers' conference Ik ben ver, Colo., that, "Tho isolation und sol itnry confinement of tho farm wlfo nnd tho farm servant girl do much toward making these women form a consld ernblo percentage of tho Inmates of In sane asylums." Tho speaker continued, "Tho gooc roads problem Is one to which the church must very soon give materia attention." Tho church is n force lr any undertaking nnd 'good roads en' thusinsts will welcome Its efforts In be half ot rural welfare. Houston Post. IMPORTANT DUTY OF PEOPLE Prompt Repair and Careful Malnten anco of Good Roads Is Essential Farmer Is Interested. Tho making of good roads Is ono ol tho most important duties of the American people, and their prompl repair nnd enreful maintenance is es sential. Thero Js probably no subject In which tho progressive fnrmcr Is more deeply interested than that of having roads connecting him with his mar kets, over, which ho may bo nblo to haul tho greatest possible load.

IHE BASIS OF CANADA'S RICHES A Theme Discussed by the Wall Street Journal. In speaking of Cnnndn a short tlmo ago tho Wnll Strcot Journal mndo tho statement that ''Tho basis of Canada's riches Is tho fertility of tho soil, nnd no freak of warfare cun lujuro that whilo her grain will lucrenso In de mand ns the population of tho world grows. As an Investment Held Canada 1b worthy of consideration." These i words nro well worthy of attention, es-' pcclnlly coming from such n source as this eminent Unanclnl Journal. Wltii land urea exceeding that of tho United States and with tlllablo areas coming under cultivation, tho wealth of Canada's future can scarcely bo esti mated, wlillo tho wealth today Is Buch as to bring her moBt prominently be fore the world. During tho past year thousands of farmers In Western Cannda sold their crops for more than tho total cost of their land. Lauds nt from $15 to $30 an aero produced crops worth $40 to $70 an acre. Stock raising and dairy ing wero equally profitable. Tho year 1010 saw most wonderful crops nnd magnificent yields over Uio entlro country, and many farmers wiped out Indebtedness that bad hung over them long boforo thoy came to Uio country, and tho year 1010 put them in a condition of nbsoluto Inde pendence. A report to hand verified by a high official might seem marvel ous, wero tho particulars not well known, nud whero t.ro not othor cases that would seem almost ns phenom enal. This Is n southern Alberta story : A farmer wished to rent an adjoining farm on which n loan company held a mortgage. Tho applicant said bo want ed tho tlrst ten bushels of wheat, after which ho would divide, giving tho loan company onc-thlrd. After threshing ho pnld Into tho bunk ut Calgary $10 per aero for every aero cultivated, to tho credit of tho loan company, as their sbaro or their third of the crop. Sixteen dollurs per ucro rent Ills two-thirds was $32 nnd In addition tho Urst ten bushels of wheat. Land on this samo security 'con bo purchased for from $10 to $30 per acre. Won derful yields nro reported from all parts of this district. Recently 4,040 acres of n ranch wero Bold to un Illi nois farmer; 800 acres of wheat In 1010 produced n yield that averaged 42Mi bushels of wheat per aero. George Richard, formerly of Provldenco, R. I, on n southern Alberta farm got 2,052 bushels of wheat from a 50-acro field, or over 40 bushels per aero, and from a 00-ncro field of oats got n return of 70 bushels per acre and still had soroo sheaves left over for feeding. A report just Issued by tho Alberta government gives the yield of wheat In tho showing ot 1010 as 28 bushels per aero ; 45 bushels of oats and 80 bushels of bnrloy. Travelers through Alberta's wheat belt have had rovcalcd to them scenes of agricultural productiveness unnp nroached in any other part of tho world. Alberta farms, selected with even moduruto discretion, hnvo raised men to Independence nnd affluence with rec ords of wonderful development unsur passed amongst tho phenomenal Indus trial success of which Canada well may bonst Many almost Incrcdlblo yields have been reported by reliable authorities, wheat exceeding 70 bushels per acre and onts 140 bushels. Numerous records show that tho cost of farms has been more than repaid by this year's crop. In ono Instance, lnnd purchased for $3,200 produced wheat which was sold for a llttlo over $10,000. During tho year 1017 thero will bo an Immenso amount of labor required to tako euro of tho crop in Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. One of the problems which Western Canada has to faco every year Is tho securing of an adequato supply of labor fo hnndlo tho harvesting and threshing of Its big crops. This prob lem, indeed, is always present In any country thnt has a big agricultural pro ductlon; In tho case of Western Cun udn It Is enhanced by tho comparative Bparslty of population and tho long dls- tanco from industrial districts, which can bo expected to offer a surplus of lubor. In Western Canada Uio present dllll cultlcs uro Increased by tho war. A very largo number of Western Canada's small population havo enlisted for serv ice with tiio Canadian forces In Europe, and ut tho present tlmo thero is gen erully speuklng no surplus of labor for the ordluury channels of Industry, to say nothing of tho abnormal demands of harvest time. Tho situation, how over, bus to soma extent been met by tho action of thu Canadian, mllltla do partment, who huve releused all such men who nro still In training In tho western military camps and who desire to engage In harvest work for a period of generally ono month. The actual number of men engaged In 1UH1 In hnrvest work wus between forty und fifty thousand.
