_ 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

built with tho house. it seemed so por-
fectiy in keeping: and it was such a

w so.
FURNISHING A BEDROOM.

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

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.

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. An

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

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

`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.

years ago; opened my eyes to its worth
Aceordingc{o~tests made it was estab
lished that sour milk had a feeding
value of two cents per quart for thc
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.

cost ol’ evaporating the high percent-
age ot' water, however, is at lcust 60

ly 25 per cent. of the raw potatoes is
left, mark 2.40 ($0.58) pcr zentner
(110 pounds) of the dried product.
After many years of experiment; Mr.
C. A. Koebimnnn has now succeeded
in finding at method which lessens the

this basin the pulp posses into it suc-

Royal Purple Stock Specific
Not a dope, but a pure unadulterated condition
powder that can bc fed according to directions every
day. Will make the animal di est its food roperly
and secure the greatest good tiercfrom. Tllcrc has
not been a season in a decade when it will be so abso-
lutely necessary to use condition powders as this coming
season on account of 'thc enormous amounts of musty
grain and fodder that have been harvested. Unless
armers are extra careful, they will have many animals
in bad condition due to coughs, heavcs, indigestion,
etc. Royal Purple Stock Specific will cause the
animal to digest every particle of food and will make
impurities pass tlirough without injury. Royal Purple
Stock S ecihc will i'a_tten animals you have never been
able to l)atten before.
Mr. Dan McEwan the veteran horse-trainer. says: "i have
need your Stock Specific 8 years and have never had an animal
out o condition more than n week in all that time. Your stock
mdoner is the but I have ever used, and as for your Cough
sr. I can safely say it will cure any ordinary cough ln A days.
Last your nur lierscs were troubled greatly with mughn :ind I
used 26 tins of your Cough Specific with excellent results."
