MAKES A GOOD, PLAIN CAKE
Delicacy That May Be Baked in a
Great Number of Ways, as
One May Desire.
T remember reading an article many
years ago In which cake was designat
ed as the "rose of cookery;” the term
seemed to suit the dainty process of
combining all the delicate ingredients
that go to the making of a toothsome,
dainty, beautiful, fragrant cake so well
that 1 have always remembered it, re
marks a writer in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch.
Here ts a very good rule for a plain,
though excellent cake. It may be
baked in all sorts of ways, as you will
see:
One generous tablespoonful of but
ter, onv cupful of sugar, one and a
half cujjfuls of flour, half a cupful of
milk, two eggs, a pinch of salt and a
level te&spoonful of baking powuer.
Stir tlio butter, sugar and eggs to
gether, heating them hard. Then add
the flour, in which the baking powder
has been mixed and sifted twice.
Add the milk by degrees, beat thor
oughly a;jd bake in a moderate oven.
I have ijot mentioned the flavoring,
because there is where the variety
comes in. Flavored with vanilla, rose
or lemon extract and baked in a loaf
airti iced, this is a very nice cake for
ordinary purposes. Or it may be baked
as a layei cake, with chocolate, car
an el, lemon, jelly or other filling be
tween the layers.
Often I bake it in four very thin
layers and put it together with very
tart jelly, naking a real old fashioned
icily cake.
By leaving out a tablespoonful ol
flour and adding grated chocolate, a
very nice chocolate cake results, and
this may be baked in layers and put
together with a chocolate filling; a
very good imitation of the more ex
pensive devi.'s food. Grated cocoanut
i-r chopped nut meats will make a
pleasant addition, er raisins, currants
and spices will give you a delicious
brown loaf of simple fruit cuke.
Orange peel grated into the batter
makes a very nice flavor; then 1
would advise icing the top with an
orange icing, but do not put any of
the juice in the cake for it will "kill'’
the effects of the baking powder.
This same recipe may be baked in
gem pans and served hot for luncheon,
or the little cakes may be iced and
set away for Sunday night supper.
A portion of the batter might be
flavored with chocolate for variety
and the chocolate cakes covered with
a chocolate icing.
MILK USEFUL IN MANY WAYS
As a Cleansing Agent It Is Frequent
ly Better Than Anything That
Can Be Employed.
Use milk on patent leather to pol
ish, clean and brighten it. Nothing
else gives it such luster and softness.
Use milk to clean piano keys. It
removes all dust and grime and does
not mar their ivory smoothness.
Use milk to remove ink spots. Wet
the ink spot with the milk and keep
it wet until the spot disappears. Then
wash the spotted fabric in cold before
washing it in warm water. Do not
allow the milk to dry—keep adding
more to keep it damp. The dried
milk sometimes makes a yellow stain
that is troublesome to remove.
Use milk to restore the surface of
oilcloth and linoleum. Dip a flannel in
the milk, and rub the oilcloth or lino
leum thoroughly with it. Then rub
again with a dry flannel.
Use sour milk for removing freck
les. It is the lactic acid in milk that
is effective in removing the freckles.
Use milk in starch to give it a
gloss. Add a few tablespoocfuls to
a panful of starch.
Boiled Frosting.
Half a pint of granulated sugar,
moisten thoroughly with water suf
ficient to dissolve it when heated. Boil
until it threads from the spoon, stir
ring often. While the sugar is boiling
beat white of one egg till firm. When
thoroughly beaten turn into a deep
dish, and when the sugar is boiled
pour the w hite, beating together rapid
ly until of the right consistency to
Bpread on the cake. Add flavoring it
liked. This is enough icing for one
loaf of cake.
To Freshen Stale Vegetables.
When your vegetables become wilt
ed and stale before you have an oppor
tunity to use them, place then, for an
hour or so in a gallon of water to
which a teaspoonful of scda has been
added. They will then be just as crisp
and fresh as when gathered from the
garden.
Venetian Stew.
Take one taklespoonfal each of
chopped onion, parsley, flour and Par
niesan cheese, a little salt, pepper and
ground mace. Spread this between two
slices of freshly fried veal steak, leave
for a few hours, then stew this meat
sandwich in same pan veal was fried
in, adding a little hot water cr stock
and butter. Serve hot.
Fried Bacon.
Cut slices of bacon ote-half inch
thick, pour boiling water over it and
let stand five minutes; put the slices
in the frying pan and sprinkle Indian
meal lightly over them. Cook over a
rather hot fire until crisp and brown.
Serve on a warm dish.
Cooking Dried Apples.
When you cook dried apples, try
adding a little grated ornnge peel to
them before the stewing process. This
robs the apple of any flat taste it may
have and gives it an added zest. Grate
only the outside skins, as the white in
side skin is bitter.
To Prevent Spatters of Fat
To prevent lard or butter from spat
tering wrhen eggs or potatoes are
dropped in to fry, sift a little bit of
flour in the fat just before putting it
on the stove.
Peas and Mushrooms.
Stew fresh green peas and mush
rooms together until tender, drain and
partly fill little patty shells with them,
cover with a rich cream dressing and
Berve at once.
| RAISING DRAFT HORSES IS PROFITABLE ]
Richelieu, Prize-Winning Belgian Stallion at New York State Pair.
“There is nothing more profitable
to the average farmer than the raising
of a few good draft horses," says Dr.
C. W. McCampbell. secretary of the
3tate live stock registry board, “pro
vided he has plenty of pasture and ac
cess to a good stallion.”
If a good stallion is not standing
for service in a community, the man
who has at least five or six good farm
mares can afford to own his own stal
lion and use him as a work horse. A
coming two-year-old stallion can be
bought for approximately $400 and,
taken in hand at this age, he makes an
excellent work horse.
The raising of draft horses is differ
| ent from that of any other live stock
, on the farm. Important factors are
good food and attention. Good breed
ing gives the possibilities, but good
feeding is necessary to bring this out
to its fullest extent.
It is better for the man of limited
means, believes Doctor McCampbell,
to raise horses only as a by-product,
because the exclusive raising of draft
horses for market requires consider
able capital. The returns at first are
slow, for draft horses must be six
years old before they are ready for
market. The man who has other cash
crops to meet his expenses can afford
to wait for the returns from his young
draft horses.
A few good brood mares on the or
dinary farm if bred to a good stallion
should produce several good colts
every year, besides doing the ordinary
farm work. To secure the best results
the brood mare that does the farm
work must be given the best of care
and attention.
The use of silage as a horse feed
still is a debated question. Some
horsemen have used it successfully
and others have had disastrous results.
All silage fed to horses should be
sweet and fresh. Moldy or spoiled
silage also is an unsafe feed for
horses because of the danger of caus
ing colic. The silage should be made
of fairly mature crops, and it should
be stored in the silo properly.
If you don’t speak to the horse ev
ery time you pass behind his heels,
you may wake up some morning with
a skinned head or a broken bone
When a horse hears a racket behind
him, sometimes he doesn’t wait to see
what it is, but whacks away at it with
both feet.
Be careful with the colt you are
breaking this spring. Don't try to
do it all in one day; if you do you
may not only break him to work, but
you may break his heart as well. Get
him used to pulling gradually. It isn't
reasonable to expect a colt to go out
in the field hitched to a disk or plow
and do as much as the old seasoned
horse.
EASIER TO PREVENT
THAN TO CURE ROUP
Most Satisfactory Method Em
ployed by Expert Poultrymen
of Treating Disease.
TBy J. G. HALPIN, Wisconsin Experi
ment Station.)
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure.
It’s the old. old rule and it works as
well with poultry as with anything
else.
Prevention, expert poultrymen tell
us, is the most satisfactory method of
treating roup
This annoying and wasteful disease
can be prevented by keeping the poul
try house dry, well ventilated and
clean; by forcing the fowls to exercise
on cold wet days in a deep litter of
dry straw; by breeding from strong
vigorous birds: by feeding clean and
wholesome feeds and by taking every
precaution to keep the disease from
the farm and flock.
If any of the birds do develop roup
or extremely bad colds, they should
be removed from the flock and the
houses disinfected with a coal-tar dis
infectant or a B per cent solution of
carbolic acid. Unless the birds are
valuable it is advisable to kill and
bury all sick fowls. With all birds
that are worth the time necessary to
give them individual treatment, the
following method will prove success
ful.
Thoroughly clean the nostril and
eye of all the cheesy material that
has collected. Inject into the nostril
with a syringe a saturated solution of
permanganate of potash and dust bo
ric acid into the eye and nostril. This
treatment must be followed several
times a day until decided improve
ment is noticed when the permanga
nate of potash can be omitted. The
boric acid should be continued until
the nostrils are dry and all enlarge
ment of the eye has disappeared. It
Is not advisable for most people to
attempt to remove the mass that col
lects beneath the eye by an operation
and if taken in time the other treat
ment will prove effective.
The first symptom of roup Is a wa
tery discharge from the eye and a
thin, yellow discharge from the nos
tril. The eye then becomes enlarged
due to this material filling up the
space around the eye.
When the'first symptoms of a cold
ippear, begin using permanganate of
potash in the drinking water. Make
up a stock solution of the crystals and
then pour enough of this in the drink
ing water every day to give it a vio
let or wine color.
Feed for Geese.
Clover and alfalfa are good for the
geese when pasture is scarce and
duckB will sometimes eat it when
mixed with ground grain or cooked
vegetables, but most like bran the
best. It should be steamed or scalded.
Women and Poultry.
There is no farm home in the land
in which the women cannot make a
success of poultry, and there are few
city homes where a back yard Is
available, that could not well profit
by a few good chickens.
Cuts Household Expense.
The product of the poultry yard
makes a big item in the household ex
pense account, and when the products
are “home-grown” the cash that is
thus saved may be used to better ad
-onfuee in other wayr ,
ATTENTION NEEDED
BY A SHEEP FLOCK
Keep Fleeces Clean and Free
From Burs—Furnish Plenty
of Good, Fresh Water.
It it is worth while keeping a few
sheep, it is worth while keeping good
ones.
Remove any members that may be
ailing to a place where they can be
well cared for.
Don't let the ram run down during
the breeding season, and give him
good care afterwards.
Sheep require about the same pas
turage acreage, weight for weight, as
do cattle; sheep thrive on a shorter
bite.
Keep the sheep's fleece clean and
free from burs, if you wish to get the
top price of the market for your wool.
The age at which a ram ceases to
be useful depends largely upon his
inherent vigor, and the amount of
service he has to do.
Grain never gives such large re
turns as when it is fed to young
lambs.
While it is advisable to see the
sheep often while they are on pasture,
still it is not necessary to stay with
them all the time; and good results
may be obtained with plenty of good
water, salt and feed, and a weekly
visit, if the dogs do not trouble them.
If, however, sheep-killing dogs are
around, be on your guard with a good
shotgun.
A pen or creep should be so covered
as to protect the grain from rains,
and should have a trough in it, in
which the grain should be kept all
the time.
The lambs will grow and thrive
wonderfully, and when weaning-time
comes, they may be taken away from
the ewes without any setback at all.
LET SUNLIGHT INTO
THE ORCHARD TREES
Nature Will Take Care of Shade
After Intelligent Pruning
Has Been Done.
Gut out tho uceloss brush !n your
old trees and give the cun a chance
to reach every part of them.
Of course the fruit must have more
or less shade, but nafure will take
care of that after intelligent pruning
has been done.
When the fruit buds come very
thick, most people take it as a sign
of a big yield, but when fruit grows
too thickly it must necessarily be
very small.
Experts have no conscience when
it comes to thinning fruit. The way
they pick off the buds—often destroy
ing four where they leave one—is
enough to give an amateur the shivers.
The Farm Name.
The first farm name registration
law enacted by any state was intro
duced in the Missouri legislature of
1&07 by the present assistant secre
tary of the Missouri state board of
agriculture. More than a dozen states
now have such a law. In Missouri reg
istration is made with the county
clerk.

AILMENTS OVERCOME;
GAINING IN WEIGHT
This is the story of John Gadeken
of Wiener, Neb., and how he won back
health and happiness. Mr. Gadeken
suffered for years from ill health. His
trouble began with his stomach. His
food was not properly digested, and
he grew worse under the worry of
what he feared was hopelessly bad
health.
One day he heard about Mayr’s
Wonderful Remedy. He took one dose
and was astonished by the results. He
wrote:
“My ailments seem to be entirely
overcome, as the many symptoms
which were constantly worrying me
have, like a wonder, all passed away,
and my health is improving fast. I
am also gaining in weight fast—
gained five pounds already.
“It has been two weeks since I got
through your treatment, and I can
say that it has put my stomach and
bowels in perfect shape.’’
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try it
on an absolute guarantee—if not satis
