HELPFUL HINT8.
In using pineapple JulccNr fmlt In
gelatin It Is well to remember thnt
there Is a substance In
pineapple which nets
upon gelatin, digesting
It, so n little more should
bo used when pineapple
Is tho basis of the pud
ding or dessert of any
kind.
Sugar, suit and spices
if added to pumpkin the
day before using will
make a much better fla
vored pie than If added when ready to
011. Cookies should be mixed the day
before, and doughnuts if mixed and al
lowed to stlfTcn where It is cold
roll and cut much better and make a
lighter cake when fried. In summer,
place the dough on ice, In winter set
out to chill. Pound cake Is much bet
ter If the flour und butter are rubbed
together, then added to the beaten eggs
which have had the sugar folded Into
them. Add the flour mixture n little nt
a time, not to lose the lightness of the
eggs.
Use mace for various dishes where
nutmeg Is usually used.
A tablespoonful of cream to n quart
of sherbet, Improves nil flavors, mak
ing a smoother frozen dish.
Keep n roll of toilet paper, the
(Cheaper kind, near nt hand where n
wpot on tho floor, or n table or n
soiled dish may bo quickly wiped and
the paper burned saving the use of n
cloth.
Spring clothespins are hnndy to use
In tho kitchen for holding n cloth
while straining fat or other things.
Fnsten them through the cloth to the
side of the vessel.
Keep tho cellar stairs scrubbed so
that skirts will not be soiled In going
down stairs. Another safety device Is
pnintlng the bottom stair white if the
cellar is dark, to save falling.
A little oil or fallow ribbed on tho
cork of the glue bottle will keep it
from drying Into the bottle.
Devil's Cake Without Eggs. Take a
cupful qf brown sugar, four table
spoonfuls of softened fat, two table
spoonfuls of molasses In the plnce of
two eggs, a half square of chocolate
melted In four tablespoonfuls ol boil
ing water, a cupful of sour milk, a
tenspoonful of soda und a teaspoonful
of baking powder sifted with two cup
fuls of flour. Add vanilla to flavor.
Wonder Muffins. Take a cupful and
n quarter of chicken fat, one and a
third cupfuls of sugar, one egg, half a
cupful of milk, one and a half cupfuls
of flour, two and a half teaspoonfulo of
bnklng powder. Mix as usual and bke
In gem pans. Serve nt once.
We ought to acquaint ourselves with
tho beautiful; wo ought to contem
plate It with rapture and attempt ti
raise ourselves up to Us height.
FEEDING THE CHILD.
The wise mother 4ipprecinte(s tho Im
mense value of teaching her child to
masticate Its solid
food well, begin
ning with Its first
mouthful. The hab
it will soon be
formed which will
never ho broken.
Food well masticat
ed is much easier
of digestion, less
food is eaten, as the appetite is soon
er satisfied and in consequence no food
is wasted. A child should never be al
lowed to hurry or to eat when excited ;
forcing n child to eat after excitement
and play will often cuuse serious diges
tive disturbances.
For a child from two to three,
orange Juice, prune Juice, the pulp of
stewed prunes, baked applo and some
times scraped raw apple may be given
hut never Just before or just after a
feeding of milk.
The yolk of egg contains the growth
stimulant which all young animals
BhouUl have in some form. Milk, but
ter, cream, green leaves of various
plants ns well ns clover and alfalfa
contain this wonderful growing prin
ciple. Cereals of various kinds long and
well cooked, If strained of coarse fiber
will make u good food for the young
child.
Sweets nro crnved by all children
nnd they should have them in the most
digestible form which will bo suffi
ciently satisfying, thnt Is In dried fruit
like prunes, figs, raisins und npricots.
Later n child may have a piece of
wholesome candy after a meal, once or
twice n week, hut a child Is better In
every way to get Its sugar from fruit.
Dry toast, stale hrtad, graham
crackers and zwieback are all good
brcuds for little people.
Simple desserts should not be given
until tho child is two years old. Cus
tards, baked fruit with cream, rice
cooked In milk nnd ripe fresh fruit
will make a sulllclent variety. Pastry
should never bo given to n child until
nfter ten years of age.
Tho breakfast may bo a little moal,
but at noon the food should he tho
heartiest with a nupper of simple
bread und milk, milk toast or somo
light, easily digested fond like rice und
milk.
Do all tho Rood you can, by all the
means you can,
In all the ways you can, In all the
places you can,
At nil tho times you can, to all the
people you can,
As long- as ever you can.
Wesley.
SAVORY FOODS.

DRINKING WATER FOR FOWLS
Sufficient Supply, Frequently Renewed,
Is as Necessary as Proper
Amount of Food.
(Trcparcd by tho United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If your flock of poultry has not been
doing as well as you think It ought to,
perhaps It Is because you have not
been providing tho chickens with a
supply of fresh, puro drinking water.
Of course, lack of thrift and low egg'
yields may bo duo to n umber of other
certain causes, such ns poor stock, poor
feed (both quality and quantity), bud
housing conditions, diseases, presence
of lice and niltes, and luck of care.
But for some reason many poultry
raisers who give attention to theso
Items sometimes neglect tho wnter
supply. A supply of puro drinking wa
ter frequently renewed Is as necessary
for poultry as sufllclcnt amounts of
food.
There nre two different types of)
drinking Vessels for poultry In com
mon use: Open vessels palls, puns,
crocks nnd the like ; and drinking foun
tains so constructed Hint dust und dirt
cannot get Into the water except by
way of a very small exposed surface.
Theso quite opposite types of drink
ing vessels are ubout equullypopulur
with poultry keepers. Open vessels
catch more dirt nnd dust, but nro more
enslly cleaned. Closed fountains mny
be used much longer without cleaning,
but If allowed to becomo foul are hard
er to clean thoroughly.
Placing open drinking vessels on a
shelf u foot or more above tho floor
prevents thu hens from scratching
course litter Into them, but docs not
keep out the dust which floats fii tho
air und settles In the water.
Thoroughly rinsing open vessels onco
a day and scalding drinking fountains
onco or twice a week will usually keep
them as clean us necessary.
VARIATION IN BARRED ROCKS
Pains Must Be Taken to Keep Fowls
Typical of the Variety They
Represent.
To see tho mnny flocks of chickens
over tho country, varying In size,
shape and color, yet all dubbed pure
bred Plymouth Rocks, or Reds, or Wy
nndottes, us the case mny be, leads
one to wonder If breeders, aside from
those who breed for the showroom,
know what tho type of their breed Is.
The varlntlon In r. Barred Rock, or
Barred Plymouth Rock Cockerel.
Bed, or "Dotte," from the typo of bird
uccepted by the standard, is great.
Unless some pains tiro taken to keep
tho birds of u breed typical of tho va
riety they represent, a comparatively
short tlmo .makes all the breeds look
alike.
RIGHT QUALITIES OF MALES
They Should Be Gallant, but Not Too
Generous, and Thus Deprive Him
self Study Nature of Bird.
Tho mule should be gallant, over
ready to share his meuls with tho
hens; but he must not be too gener
ous nnd thus deprive himself, or he
will bo underfed, become nervous, und
not prove to bo n good breeder. Tho
glutton malo Is equally bad. Ho be
comes overfat while the hens do not
get their share, and the consequence
Is poor fertility. Tho nuturo of every
malo bird should be studied.

SAVE THE HENS.
(Prepared by tho United States De
partment of Agriculture.)
Every pullet nnd young hen
sold for food this winter means
u reduction of from five to
twelve dozen eggs In the poten
tial egg supply of next spring
nnd summer.
Hundreds of thousnnds of
fanners who have not raised
poultry will do so next spring
and summer responding to tho
demand for more chickens und
eggs so that beef and pork will
bo released to help win tho wnr.
They will need young hens.
Tho United States department
of agriculture urges the saving
of fowls of producing qualities,
so that they mny be used for
stock In tho early spring.

ACREAGE
Will Prove a Big Factor In Win
ning the War.
Reports to hnnd Indlcnto that West
ern Canada has o vastly Increased
acreage rendy for crop this year over
last year. The splendid oppn fall of
1017, gavo a better opportunity for fall
plowing thnn for somo yenrs. Work
In the fields was almost continuous
until tho end of November. In fact, In
the neighborhood of Plnchcr Creek,
Alberta, there was sufllclcnt mild
weather In January of this yenr to
permit farmers to plow, and mnny
took advantage of It. A great mnny
Amcrlcnns owning land In Cnnndn
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to Incrcnsc the acreage. They
came Into possession of the lnnd nt
prices vnrylng from $115.00 to $30.00
nn acre, and with the proven yields
of wheat running from twenty and ns
high ns fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price of $2.21 a bushel, they could
Join production nnd patriotism to
gether with a big margin of profit.
Tho Post-Intclllgencer of Seattle,
Wash., gives a very conservative state
ment of the agricultural development
and opportunities In Western Cnnndn.
In Its Issuo of December 14, 1017, it
nays :
"Since tho beginning of the yenr
Amerlcnn emigration Into Cnnndn hns
been greatly stimulated nccordlng to
the reports of the Dominion authori
ties, and hns been almost entirely mndo
up of farmers attracted by the fertllo
and compnrntlvely cheap whent lands.
"Whatever mny bo said of wheat
culture as a profitable nvocntlon In
ordlnnry yenrs, since tho beginning of
tho war It hns offered advantages
quite beyond tho usunl opportunities.
Wnr hns boomed the prlco of whent
until the farmer now receives nround
$2 for his product nt his grnnnry.
Average crops, nccordlng to tho ndnp
tntlon of soil nnd cllmnte nre from
12 to 25 bushels to tho acre. Even
tho minimum crop, at $2 per bushel,
brings In theso wnr times a reasonable
profit. Beforo tho wnr whent culture
wnB fast being abandoned by farmers
who worked Intelligently for results
on tho right side of the ledger. It hns
been the populnr crop for new coun
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business It wns generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing thnt brought the profits. Iown and
the Dnkotas In turn, ns their prairies
became settled, mortgnged tho lnnd on
wheat culture and nftenvards pnld oft
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War Is thus bringing a temporary
encouragement to whent farming.
Mnny of tho ranchers of Manitoba, Sns-
Kutcnewan ana Alhertn laid away
$20,000 to $30,000 In the bnnks Inst fall.
It mny be pointed out, however, thnt
the growing of whent Is not the only
Inducement which Is lending settle
ment to Cnnndlnn lnnds. Low taxation,
favorable agricultural climate, and
profitable prices not only for grain but
for hogs, cattle and nil forms of fnrm
produce all contribute their shnro
townrd tho rapid settlement of the fer
tile lnnds of Western Canada." Ad
vcrtlsement
Pretty as All That.
"Is she pretty? How long was tho
Jury out?"
"Didn't go out at all."
