iN THE W_INTER KITCHEN.

Dried fruits and vegetables, smokes

and salted fish, are among the house- i¢eeper's best aids durillg the winter months. when fresh garden and or- chard “truck"' are not to be had and tasty and appetizing dishes are in do mand.

The bean family is u. large and

veried one, and it is of lnestimable value in the well-regulated winter kit- chen. The small navy, or pea, beans are used for Boston baked beans ser- ved. as a Sunday morning breakfast dish .They should be washed and soak- ed over night. then par-boiled until the skin will crack if exposed to the cool alr a second; then tum inioillo bean- pot with three quarters of a cup oi molasses, pepper, salt and a half cup of the water they were boiled ln. A good sized cube of pickled pork, well scored, should be placed in the ceutre, and the dish baked several hours.

Thebog marrow-fat beans are used

principally for bean soup or puree.

Flageolel; beans, soaked out and then

steamed or stowed, and served with a goodbutter and parsley sauce. make as inviting a winter vegetable as lima beans in summer. Dried lima beam are equally as good, if treated in the some way; and so are the black beans of Mexico and the red beans of Texas. i Split peas, yellow or green, are ltr valuable soup factors, while the dried whole green peas, soaked and steamed, are almost as good as the fresh ones, and infinitely better than most canned peas: The possibility of liried prunes, dates, dgq. ,-washes and apricotis-are legiorllfor breakfast fruits, ples, puddings and for other IISEB. ~ - -3 `

_ FiSH»DAiNTll.¥ PREPARED.

Smoked salmon, sturgeon and hall-

but are eaten by many people just as they come, -thinly sliced, served in sandwiches or eaten with bread and butter. They are extremely dainty, however, when steamed delicately broiled. oi' flaked in cream and served in a ramekin with crumbs, butter, a little finely chopped celery and the proper seasoning.

Flnnan haddle makes an excellent

breakfast dish, or, hroiled and baked, is good as n luncheon dish. Sit cod- ilsb comes to market in several forma but the whole big fish is by far the best and moat economical to buy. It makes the best fish balls. and when a portion is soaked over night and deli- cately broiled, it makes a nice break fast dish. The fish comes also cut in square pieces and packed in boxes or in desiccated form, which is perhaps better for those who do not understand the management and preparation of the large Bah. it bas as good a flavor however.

The whole fish will/cost 50 or G0

cents. and it will yield. one breakfast broil and two breakfasts of fish cakes made in -the old-fashioned way by add- ing to the flaked fish six or eight mashed potatoes, with plenty of but- ter. cream and one ess- Tire fish should be soaked over night then scald ed and simmsrsd gently until tender. but not allowed to boil. Then. after flailing it and freeing if from skin and bones, it may be mashed; it is then ready for the potato and seasoning. The cakes may be dusted with flour but flour should not be mixed with them. as it makes them pastry.

For bloaters there seems to bo n

26 YEARS OF BABOOOK TEST

The discovery of the universally

l\ii0Dted butter fat test was made by Dr. Babcock. of the Wisconsin Dairy _Sleii0l1. twenty-five years ago and the anniversary will be celebrated dur- iilg farmers' short course week at ii'° U“iV°l'BiiY of Wisconsin, by the holding of a Dairy Progress' Expo- sition.

No discovery has done more for

the advancement of the dairy lndustry than that of this simple means of determining tho amount of butter fat in milk, but tho use of Dr. Babcock's test is now so genoral that it is hard to realize that only n. quarter of a- Gdlll-UFY Bao great difficulty was en-

aountcrcd in making this determina- on. Tho fair treatment of consumers of.

milk now depends largely on the use of the test andthe improvements in butter-making capacity of dairy herds is illrsely due to the same discovery. Payment for milk for butter-rnakins is regulated entirely by the amount of fat contained therein, unless the buyer is entirely behind the times.

The Babcock test is also basis of

tllo cheese-makers test, though it is not satisfactory in this regard unless augmented by a test for the amount of casein in the milk. _

POINTS ON MILKING THE HEIFER

Wc must have foresight in prepar-

ing the dairy helfer for her first milk- ing pcrlod_ if we handle the udder and teats so as to develop the uddcr, doing this at least twice a week for six or eight wceks before calvlng, the lleifor .viii then be quiet and gentle and will not be afraid when her udder is touch- ed after she has calved. Also her ud- 'ler will be developed so thai, it will almost resemble a r~ow‘s udder.

it is natural for the cow in siaud

whilo being milkcd, consequently the heifer knows nothing about kicking until hurt or frightened into it. It is a good plan to halter-break a lleifer when sho is young, always being care- ful not to hurt or frighten her. if by accident anything should be done to cause the heifer to kick it is not the part of wisdom to punish her for kick- ing.

Kindness and gentle handling is the

only remedy. If one lets his reasoning for the cause be based upon the prin- ciple that she never kicked until she was injured, the remedy will at once suggest itself. No cow was ever brok- en of kicking by striking with the stool or anything else. That practice only puts the cow on her guard and as one comes near her with the stool she uses nature's defence and kicks.

A sweet temper is to the dairy cow

what sunshine is to trees and flowers lf her tests are sore she is quite liable to kick or walk off. and we must' have patience lultil they are healed. I have never seen a kicker in a herd where kindness was a characteristic of the family who handled the dairy, on the other hand. I have seen plenty of them where loud words and general had temper prevailes.

It is well to give the cow some kind

of food juust before beginning to milk, as the process of mastlcation will take her attention from the operation of milking and she will not hold up the milk.

The ' udder and flanks need brusll-

ing or wiping with a damp cloth. using warm water in Winter and cold ill Sumnlcr to removc tile lose hair or flflnc particles of dust or flltll. az-l those arc uslullly laden with undcslrablc germs which would otherwise fall into tho pail_

A lleifer does not like unncccssary

noise or delay, and shows her dislike by diminished quantities of milk. Mlk- lng hor regularly at as near the same hour night and morning as possible is important.

The first streams of milk contain

many objectionable bacteria. and on to the ground is where they should go. lt is poor policy to wet the hands with milk. My .practice is io rub a lit- tlo vaselinc on the hands. This keeps the tents in nice condition and makes milking easy.

Of course the mllker ougllt to be

clcan, kind nlld sympathetic. Ho should lint sit olf at a. distance. but his left arm should bn in close contact with thc leg of lilo llcii`cl'. so that she unu- not kick. lf she makcs the attempt ho will only get a push instead of a blow. It is necessary to do the milking quiet- ly and in the shortest possible time, and it is important that the heifer ho mllked clean and dry every time, oth- erwisc sllc will be iniured as a milk- er. besides thc richest and most. valu- able part of the milk will bo lost.- Farm Life.

FEEDING HORSES.

During the Winter season, when

man farm horses are idle, there is

some danger that they will be overlaid) with hay. The apparent endless eu ply of hay in the big barn can be the only reason for this wasteful and mis- taken manner of feeding adopted by many farmers. A balance ration of hay and grain is not only better for the horse, but is lass expensive in thc long run. Roots, and possibly ensilago or corn fodder, can bo fed to advantage in small quantities, but' if a cutting down of the horse’s feed is necessary this cut should be made all round on hay, grain and other feeds alike. The average-horseman's faith is pinned on timothy hay as horses feed, but clean bright clover is just as good for the slow working horse, and perhaps het- ter, if the horse ls idle. The real cause for objection to clover hay as horse feed is the fact that so much clover is dusty, and when much dust is present the hay' ls, of course, dangerous to some extent.

Bran dhould form a part of every

stabled horse’s diet, but whether as a part of the daily ration or asa mash given at intervals is a matter for the judgment of the feeder. Perhaps a little bran with thc oats daily and ti good mash once a week is as good a
