Yorkshire Pudding-Ono cup milk,
one cup flour, two eggs, quarter tea-
spoon salt. Mix salt and flour, and add
milk gradually to form a smooth paste;
then add eggs beaten until very light.

beef fat, pour mixture in pan one-half
Inch deep. Bake twenty minutes in
hot oven. busting after well risen,with
some of the fat_from pan in which
meat is roasting. Cut in squares for
serving. Bake if preferred, in greased,
hissing hot iron gem pans.
Baked New Beets.-Wash and
scrub new beets in a pan containing a
little hot water to keep them from
sticking, and bake till tender in u
moderately hot oven, from 40 minutes
to an hour. Cool. remove skins and
serve seasoned with butter, salt and
pepper.

a quarter of lamb. illl it with force-
meat, roll it round, and tie it with a
piece of string, cover lt with a butter-

melted butter; ‘
Lower the Oven Temperature-lf
the oven becomes too hot whilt baging
or roasting. a pan of very cold water
placed in the oven will lower the tem-
perature with better results than op-
ening the 'oven door. The latter meth-
od cools the oven too quickly and
sometimes, especially in baking, ruins
the article that is being prepared.
COLOR IN DECORATION
A practical little book on "Good
Taste in Home Furnishings," devotes
the first chapter to come as the most
important consideration. According to
the authors (Maud A. Bell and Henry
Blackman Sell): -
“The first thing to do when you are
confronted with the decoration and
furnishing of a given room is to take
an inventory of its color possibilities.
lt is the element that can materially
strengthen or weaken the most care-
fully studied arrangement of form and
llup-.”
The psychological effect of colors.
red being exciting. blue elevating, and
yellow cheering, is explained. but the
authors warn against the use of either
red or pure blue as being too positive.
All colors need modifying before
they can be successfully used in home
decorating. In selecting a. color
schem for a room those colors should
be usei which have one of the prim-
nry colors as a base. The following
example is given:
"For example, let us assume that
we wish to decorate a room whose
prevailing colors shall be buff-we find
that in producing buif we have includ-
ed a little yellow and red. some orange
russed and citron. We are to apply
these to a living room, the woodwork
of wlliéh is dark mahogany. We would
llllilly the buff, the prevailing color, to
the walls; the russet to the floor, we
would lighten the buff with a irielie of
0l’lllse. and the russet with a carpet of
citron. and we would bring out the
bright spots with a lamp or a leaded
window in which pure red and yellow
Hoglld bring the whole scheme into re-
e .”
Yellow is an expanding color and
makes areas seem large. hence its
value in a small room. Red is a posi-
tive color and makes a room hold its
true value. Blue is a contrasting color
and makes a place seem smaller.

SWINE FEVER
In answer to the question, "What
are the symptoms of swine fever?"
the following answer is given in the
Weekly Cape Breton Times and Farm-
ers’ Record:
There are two different forms,
namely, the acute and the subacute
or chronic, and often the first one or
two of the herd attacked suffer from
the acute form and quickly die, those
attacked later having the chronic
form, from which a great proportion
would recover if allowed to do so by
the authorities. In acute cases the
pig refuses food, lies huddled up,
sometimes having a discharge from
the eyes, and a high temperature of
106 degrees F. or 108 degrees F. At
first the animal is constipated, which
later on is followed by diarrhoea.
Very often the discoloration of the
ears and underneath surface of the
body does not appear, as the animal
sometimes dies after an illness of two
or four days, but most cases which
occur are of the subacute or chronic
form, and after lying about for a day
or so the temperature rises to 103 to
107 degrees F. accompsnisd with a

is generally very offensive, and may
be either yellow, black. grey, or green
in color. There is often a cough,
which is rather characteristic, as it
seems as if the pig had a bone or
some foreign body in the throat, and
was trying to bring it up. The rash.
which shows about the end of the first
week's illness, is generally found in-
side the thighs. and may turn later on
to ulcers. The sick animal has an

A GOOD 80W
No sow is valuable to a farmer or
bl`00dBl’. no matter how highly bred
she may be, or how long her pedigree,
or how high a cost, that is not a good
mllker and able to feed her pigs in
such a way that they grow with ordi-
nary and reasonable ropidity. Com-
plaints of vonns pigs doing badly
while with the sow are very common.
Occasionally the person making the
complaint recognizes that the sow is
a poor milker or a bad mother, as the
general run of pig breeders express lt;
but in the lllniority of cases it is not
even dreamed of that the pigs are do-
ing badly because they do not get
sufllcient milk of proper quality to
Bllllsfy their growing requirements.
A~ large number of pigs die young
from no other cause than that they
are starved, that is to say, they are un-
able to get sufficient sustenance from
their mother. Young pigs are difficult
to rear by hand: they do not take
kindly to cow’s milk, or rather it does
not suit them, because it is deficient
ln fixed constituents, particularly in
fat, and they do not pay for tho new
milk received.
There is no greater nuisance on a
farm than 'a litter of motherless pigs,
or a lot that are practically orphans,
because their mother has not enough
milk for them. Pedigree pigs are the
worst offenders in the matter of defic-
ient milk production; especially is
this the case if the sierd has been ln-
bred. - But bad milkers and poor
mothers have been found among all
breeds and classes and require to hd
looked after in selecting breeders and
to be ruthlessly weeded out if the
discovery of their imperfections is de-
layed until a litter of pigs has been
spoiled or starved.
In a genei-al way when engaged in
breeding ordinary stock no second
chance should be given a sow that has
proved herself unable to bring up her
pigs in a thoroughly satisfactory man-
ner. There may be some hesitation
in sacrificing a pedigree animal that
has cost a lot of money, but if she does
not look like a good suckler, or if she
fails at a second trial. she should be
fattened for the butcher. She may
have excellent points in other ways
but hxy cannot compensate for the
loss ich results from the dying off
of balf or perhaps three fourths of
each farrow. it is also advisable, in
cases where the progeny is to be kellf-
to strengthen the herd, to select boars
from dams which show thorough mat-
ernal capacity.

A USEFUL MARE.
An old white mare tramped steadly
back and forth through tho vegetable
rows, handling ‘her half of the work.
A good gelding walked beside her.
They made a satisfactory pair. The
driver explained that the white mare
had been rescued a year ago by the
country agricultural advisor. The ow-
ner had decided to sell her for what
ever she would bring, as she had
heaves too badly to work. Now she is
scarcely any more sailable for she
still shows signs of heaves, but she
works about as well as ever.
Tho transformation was accomplish-
ed easily. Up to a year before the
mare had been allowed to indulge her
appetite for hay in Winter as well as
Summer, As the heaves grew work-
ed less and less in Winter and' took on
considerable fat. Then her wind grew
still shorter. The owner was afraid
she would die if worked. The county
adviser asserted that she would still
be useful for years if fed differently.
He had the hay cut down to a mere
handful at a time, less than half what
she had been eating. Both the oats
and hay were molsiened if dusty.
When spring work started she was
given a daily allowance of the standard
of the Fowler’s solution of arsenicun-
til after six weeks he seemed much
Improved. Then the medicine was om-
mitcd unless her condition seemed to
demand it for perhaps a month of i
~ Hay was still ftd lightly :~ I-I
oats were given in rather scan( fi..
ount so that she worked down lull-l'»~
worm weather to a moderate der: ~ -o of
flesh. As the season wore on she lm-
proved steadily. By harvest time she
‘had so nearly returhed to her old-time
form that she walked right along on
the hottest days with less distress
than younger and much more valuable
horses beside her.
That was a, year ago the same me-
thods have beon continued and 'her
usefulness has been preserved. She
could only be sold cheaply, for tech-
nically she still has heaves, but she
works as well as ever. Asked what
he would do with her, the owner re-
plied that he would keep 'her as long
as she could work and then end her
life mercifully.
The method the county advisor put
in practice is not new. Veterinarians
use it constantly when consultedabout
such cases. They admit that heaves
i commonly incurable but they can
relate instances like this in which
their advice has extended the useful-
ness of an otherwise useless horse.
Such a change cannot be wrought in
a day or a month. It requires faith
that results will follow after a steady
rational programme of treatment.
Certainly it is wortll while to under-
take it when the expense is not ovcr
$1 a. montil in Summer for medicine,
and there is a. saving of half the hay
bill all the time. The net result is a
saving in the working force. Too
much hay is the common cause of
heaves. Letting horses suffer that
way is one way of “kkilllng them with
kindness.”-Breeders’ Gazette.

Grand Opera had his measure tak-

adian stallion went a grand race
and fought the son of Peter the Great
every inch of the way. Grand Opera
has won about a dozen races this

out of the money. This is not a bad
campaign for one which many

The starting at the C. D. C.. matinee
races this season was of a very high
order. No horses were given a pre-
ference and the scoring was reduced
to a minimum. Starters Brown and

The Canadian trotter, Vanko. 2.11%
owned and driven by Uri Pierce, of
Longwood, Ont., is beyond question
one of the best trotters that has ap-
peared on the half mile tracks this
season. In all, he has started in thir-
teen races over the two lap tracks,
has been seven times first, five times
second and once out of the money. He
trotted to his record ln a race over
a half mile track and has been in

speed, The Pierette is a race mare of
class having won five or six races
in which she has taken part this sea-
son. ln doing that, she took a mile
track mark of 2.14%, but that was no
criterion of her speed, as, after win-
ning in 2.19%, in one of her half mile
track engagements, she was brought
