_ ANGEL CAKE

Angel cake ls the prize dish of a col-

lege professor. Here is the way to make it:

Break enough egg whites to fill a

cup-eight or nine will probably be required. Add a pinch of salt and beat them, addilig half a tesspoonful of cream tartar when they ure half beaten. and then beating them until they will stand stiff by themselves. Sift n cup of flour, measure n cup ngain, and then sift three times. Add ti cup and a quarter of granulated sug- ar to the whites and then add the flour but do not stir. Fold the mixture ov- er and over with half a teaspoonful of almond extract, and bake with a hole in the center.

On the baking of this cake its cook

bestows as much care as he would be- stow on the preparation of a lecture. He lights the gas oven just three min- utes before putting in the cake, and then-keeps the oven just warm until the cake has risen to the top of the pan. This is easily done by mampu. lstlng the gas cocks. Then he gradu- ally increases the heat until the cake is brown and firm. The process of baking in this way takes forty min- utes and he calls the cake done when ir, springs back when he presses the top with a silver spoon without leav- ing the mark of the spoon.

A CONVENIENT CLOBET.

How one woman solved the closet

problem in a New York apartment. thereby doing away with an extra piece of furniture is worthy ot- note. There was a space 18 inches deep by a yard and li. half wide. between the manfiel-piece and wall, occupied gen- erally by a piece of furniture. The dearth of closet room set her thinking and this poorly used space gave her an idea. A carpenter was calicd in and she had him build, from the ecli- ing down to it yard and a linif from tho floor live deep shelves with drop f`ront. Those sro stained to match the wood- work. and below them she had a cleat placed against the wall for hooks, and ii rod ruli through side partitions which formed the closet under the shelves. 'l he door of the closet was a wide one, nnl._ in lt a good looking glass yas set, to oo duty as a chcvai glass. 'I"ue clo- se: thus created was cuito commodi- ous and the shelves proved an excel- lent linen closet, the lowest one being used for lists. muffs ami so on. in looks. lilo closet might liavo been built with tho house. it seemed so por- fectiy in keeping: and it was such a ioy to its owner that sho advised other women witnx small. useless ai-

coves in their homes to go and do like- w so.

FURNISHING A BEDROOM.

Make Provision for Keeping the Room Clean.

"ln furnishing a bedroom, whore

there is limited space, it is well to have as many things as possible which will hang up," says Christine Ter- huno Herrick in Woman'.s Home Companion. “The shot bag, which hangs on the inside of the closet door, should have pockets deep enough to accommodate shoe-holding trees. Pro- vide a bag of some suitable wash material for soiled handkerchiefs and collars and hang this where it will be accessible.

Cleanliness in a bedroom cannot be

loo strict. If the walls are painted. they should be wiped off every few weeks with s cloth wrung out in suds to which a little kerosene has been added. When there is a washstand, the furnishings of this should have daily care. The inside of the bowl, pitcher and slop jar should be wash- ed with -hot water and soap, and the last named article should be scalded out daily. The soap. dish should be washed thoroughly every day.

the bed and its belongings; it should be entirely stripped and well ,slred. the covers turned down 'over the foot on the chair placed there to keep them from contact with the floor, the mat- tresses ‘tilted up. that air must get to both sides.

POULTRY NOTES

5K+Ji@l!

The poultry house is better too

large than too small, and an accumu- lation of’ body heat should not be depended on for keeping the hens healthy. _

The floors, whether of concrete, or

wood. will be more comfortable to the chickens if covered with fine sand or loam.

A hopper, divided into three sec-

tions for grit, charcoal, and oyster shell should be hung in every hen house so that the birds can help themselves.

Milk, beef scrap and cut bone;

green food, such as cabbage or sprout ed oats, should be fed regularly dur- ing the Winter to all poultry.

A draught is more to be dreaded

than extreme cold in the poultry house. ‘

GAPES IN POULTRY

There are numerous internal para-

sites of poultry, but only two serious diseases are caused by such agents. The chief internal parasites are worms, alid the most important dis- ease caused by worms is gapes.

Gapes is due to a round tape worm

which takes np its abode in the wind- pipe and sometimes in the bronchial tubes. It is also known as the red worm and the forked worm. The dis- ease ls produced through the worms taking up their abode in the air-pas sages, and irritating the lining mem- brane, causing inflammation.

If these pests are present in large

numbers. they will block up the wind- pipe and stop tho passage of air to the lungs. As a rule il number oi' worins inay be found together ill the windpipc of the fowl, as many as twcniy crowding ilito cnc particular* part of the tube.

The symptoms of gapos uro it cul'-

ious listlcss gaping nl' thc moulli, u wheezing cough, and it stretching for- ward of the neck, and tllo i‘r0qucnt up- pearance of frothy saliva in the mouth and sometimes in the nostrils. Any birds showing signs of thc disease should be isolated at once, and chicks should not be kept with stock birds.

ll' possible. a fresh, breeding ground

should be used every year, as the worst outbreaks are always on over- stocked land. All water vessels should bc kept scrupulously clean, slid only pure water should be given to the birds. Drinking troughs are best clcun- ed by being put into boiling water and woll scalded.

Worms may be partly rcmovcd from

the windpipc by means of a feather dipped in eucalyptus oil or oil of cloves, pushed down the windpipc and turned round and round.

A fumlgating box will be useful.

Either Cainlln powder or finely ground chalk slid cnmphor blown into tlio box will loosen the worms. which the birds will oxpoctorata during their fits ol. coughing.

EXERCISE FOR EGG+LAYER8.

If hens are kept for egg laying.

they must be fed egg-making food. when the fowls are eating well. but laying no eggs at a time when eggs are generally plentiful. there must be something wrong with their man- agement, or the kind of food they are getting. Hens that have failed to produce eggs with one owner sometimes start to lay when glvc-i over to another. who (ees not feed so heavily as the first, but under- stands the balancing of rations. Close confinement and too much corn has the effect of spoiling the hens for egg production. Exercise and fresh air are 'as necessary to good performance as are food and water. To obtain best results from feeding, the grain should be scatter- ed in deep litter. so as to force the (owls to take exercise in obtaining this part of their feed. but they should not have to depend entirely on this grain for sustenance, and a mash consisting of bran, cut clover middlings and corn meal (2 parts of the first and one of the others) should he added as soon as the Iowls begin to clean up their grain in a hurry. A little beef scrap should be served every day, and grit. 0ySl61’ shell and ground charcoal should be kept within reach of the fowl at all

times. A hen that has been fed for s long time on fat Productos f°°¢ll must have her food supply cnt down until she makes special effort to find her own living by scratching.

the chickens have plenty of fresh water and plenty to eat.

2-Don’t kill a chicken when the

crop is full of feed. Give the chicken only water for 2-i hours before it is killed. Food in tho crop or ln the in- testines of a dressed chicken causes loss of\ flavor and hestens decay, which more than offsets any gain from extra weight.

3--Good bleeding is absolutely es-

sential to a good appearance on the market and retards decay. Circular 61. Bureau of Cllemistry, U. S. De- partment of Agriculture, explains the best methods of bleeding and loosen- ing the feather muscles for dry pick- ing.

4-Hang the chickens by both feet

'while picking. Hanging by one leg spoils the shape of the bird. Picking on the lap gets the skin dirty and iiestens decay.

%Dry pick is possible. Scalding is

particularly undesirable because it hestens decay. g 6-Chill every dressed bird ulitll the body temperature is below 35 de- grees F. Never pack or ship an im- perfectly chilled bird. More decay is due to imperfect chilling than to any other single factor to dressing. Dry chill, if possible. Chickens cooled in ,water lose flavor, decay sooner. will ‘not cold-store as satisfactory as dry- `chillsd, and are in every way more undesirable on the market. Refrig- 'erator cars will carry well chilled goods in good condition, but they cannot chill warm goods to a suirl- ciently low temperature.

7-Pack in boxes or small kegs

whenever possible. A large barrel makes an undesirable package, be- cause where poultry is packed in large masses the weight of the upper layers crushes the birds at the bot- tom.

8-Line all packages with parch-

ment paper and cover the top of the poultry before tlic lid is put on.

9-Wrap every head in suitable pa-

per so that blood from one bird will not mar the appearance of another.

Never handle chickens roughly

either before or after killing. Rough handling causes bruises, broken bones scarred skins, slid soft places in the flesh. Undue haste on the part of the klllcrs audd pickers results in lowered keeping quality and poor appearance of the product.

Tliesc directions will apply with

equal force to turkeys intended for the liollday market.

THE DAIRY i

ROPY OR SLIMY MILK

Viscosity is relatively common in

milk, and may bc caused either by bacteria or by a disease of the cows uddors. Ropy milk is vcry much up- proclatcd in some parts of Europc,and good milk is sometimes made ropy by being put into a vessel that has previously been lightly rubbed with- butterwort. rl plant which always has the bacillus liollaudlcus adhering to its leaves.

ltopy inllk is sometimes used to

make Emden cheese.

ln England viscosity is looked upon

as a defect, and cvcry effort is made to prevent it. Ii’ the roplncss appears immediately after milking. it is ob vlously due to a disease of the udders. und in that case the milk ought not to be used for food. If, on tho contrary. thc ropiness does not appear until from 12 to 24 hours after milking, it_ is probably due to the bacillus lactls vlscosus, which is often present in the water used for washing the cans. The remedy is to use pure water and to sterilize the cans with boiling water or steam.-Farmol' and Stock- breeder.

CALVES ON SKIM MILK

Two lots oi’ four calves each.one fed

whole milk and the other skim-milk and boiled flax seed, were used in an experiment recently conducted at the North Dakota Experimental Station. The experiment was undertaken to determine how well dairy calves could bevgrown on skim-milk. The first three weeks both lots were fed whole milk. From then on, Lot No. 1 was fed eight pounds of whole milk and eight pounds of skim-milk daily, while Lot 2 was given 16 pounds of skim-milk and one pound of boiled flax seed. which .re- placed the fatt taken out in the cre_am. During the -first three months Lot No. 1 made somewhat larger gains and looked a little more thrifty, but during the next three months. Lot No. 2 caught up. At six months sev-

eral experienced dell cattle breeders pronounced the cal s in Lot No._2 equal tothose in Lot No. 1 in in- dividual merit and dairy development. \ When the calves were five .weeks old , they were also fed clover hay and s ‘ ,grain ration made up oi equal parts of whole eats and bran. To this was added one-tenth by weight of ,llnseed meal. lt cost $10 less per ‘head to feed the skim-milk calves than those fed. ,hall whole milk. to the age of - six qnoiiths. ‘ 4

laying hens. My own experiments in-l

dleate that this is not an exaggerated statement. ,

Skim Milk a Good Appetizer

Skim-milk contains at little less than

ten per cent. of solid matter. This is very rich in muscle-forming material and protein for the production ot eggs. The remainder is water. lt will be seen, then, that its use is valuable, both for growing chicks and laying hens. It is also thc best thing-known to use in mixing up thc wet mash for fattening the birds for market, large- ly taking the place oi’ beef scrap and bone meal. Fowls or chicks fed large- ly on milk are noticeably healthy and always seem to have u ravenous ap- petite. Largo food consumption is of prime importance. either in growing chicks or laying liens. in fact, the good appetite is necessary to promote growth ot eggs,

I do not believe in feeding wet mush

cs except on rare occasions uiitll the fattening stage is renclicd. lt is then necessary to feed the grain moist to induce the birds to cat enough to put tlicrn into condition for the market. l have, however, found that an occasion- al mash mixed with sour milk is an excellent appetizer. it should be wet iust enough to be crumbly, never soft and mushy for chicks or laying liens. W‘hen the birds are iii the fiittening crates, it is safe to feed u softer mash.

Clean Milk Dishes Daily Best results are obtained froni using

the milk after it is sour. l<‘rcsli from thc separator if, docs not give us good results, neither is it eaten as freely. I feed milk to both chicks and fowls from a drinking fountain. ln this way it is kept clean, and free from iiltli. lt is best not to feed too much at a time. Milk spoils easily, that is. it reaches a stage unfit, for the birds if left outside in the sun for is few hours or even in the house when the weather is warm. For this reason it is a good plan to feed in the morning what the flock will clean up in a couple of hours. Then the fountain should be scalded out before any more milk is fed. Where milk is plentiful and is fed regularly, it is advisable to have at least two fountains for each flock, us- ing one wlille the other is being uircd and sweetened for thc next feed. Re- member, milk sours the foulitaln much quicker than water. When the milk is just at the point of turning sour it is unsafe to iced to little chicks us it is liable to cause digestive troubles. li is all right to food ztl`i'cl' it, curdlcs. Sweet milk for the little birds is also good, but it should be fresh from the separator.-C. il. Clieslcy.
