Cookery.

CURRANT FRITTERs.- Currant fritters
are made of one cup and half of very
fine bread crumbs, one tablespoonful and
halt OF flour, one cup and a half of sweet
milk, one quarter of a pound of we'll
washed English currants (drain the cur
rants thoroughly, two eggs, two table
spoonfuls of sugar, a small lump of but
ter. Flavor with cinnamon or nutmeg
to suit your taste; drop in spoonfuls in
hot lard and fry until done. Eat with
sugar.
GINGER SNAPs.-Never put ginger
snaps in a jar while they are hot take
them from the tins and lay them on
plates to cool, otherwise they will steam
and become moist and will not be crisp
and brittle; other cookies will not need
so long cooling process, and cake which
you wish to keep week or ten days is
improved by being wrapped in a towel
while 1t Is still in the tin; let it stand in
this way for two or three hours.
A CHEAP TEA CAKE.-An inexpen-
sive tea cake is made of one cup of sour
milk, one cup of sugar, half cup of but
ter, one egg, one cup of raisins (stoned
and chopped), one teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in little hot water, one tea
spoonful of spices, and two cups and a
half of -four This should be eaten while
fresh, but if it is not, after two or three
days, beat the white of an egg to a froth
and add sugar enough to make frosting
for the top of the cake. This will en-
sure its being eaten if there are children
in the family.
DEssERT.-What shall we have for
dessert? is the question which is agita-
ting the country housewife Just now,
before strawberries come. An orange
shortcake will answer the question once
or twice at least. Make crust as for
strawberry shortcake, only roll it out a
little thinner. While it is baking cut
up liberal allowance of oranges and
scatter sugar over them. When the
shortcake is done cut in layers and put
the oranges between. Canned pine-ap-
pies, chopped fine, may be used for the
filing, and even dried apples thoroughly
soaked and cooked. Mash the apples
and to one quart of apple allow one full
cup of raspberries They color and
flavor the apple, and if you have never
eaten it you will be pleased to note how
good this simple dish tastes.

Distillery Feed for Cattle.

1t has been discovered that a large
traffic in cattle fed at distillefies in
Warehouse Point, Conn, has been going
on in Hartford, principally on the part
of two butchers, who have already pur-
chased los animals. Nineteen animals
passed through East Hartford last week,
where one of them gave out and was
left on the spot all day, unable to rise,
and with no water or food An investi-
cation of this case developed the fact
that this herd was only part of a large
number purchased for the market. The
animals are shut in stalls where they
cannot move to any considerable degree.
Under their noses runs a long trough,
into which the distillery slop is pumped
hot from the watts, and they are given in
addition little hay to make a bed.
They do not generally take kindly to
this food, and are apt to refuse it until
driven by hunger. In general, they lose
flesh at first, this loss continuing perhaps
two months. After this they fatten
rapidly. They are usually kept nine
months to a year, and the number on
hand ranges from 100 to $50. The fat
tening process is not healthy, and after a
time the teeth of the animals are decayed
and finally drop out. They lose much
of their vigor, and the flesh becomes
tender. Market-men in Hartford, says
the New York Times, are .reticent,
though it was said by one dealer that
the fact was well understood that this
beef was sold by several retailers. The
wholesale price at the distilleries ranges
from to 81 cents pound. Sales to
second parties are from to 10 cents,
when other beef is Is to IA cents. From
the time it leaves the wholesale dealers
it is lost to sight, and the conclusion that
it is sold in place of higher-priced beef,
is inevitable. Some goes to the country,
but the greater part is probably sold to
Hartford consumers.

secured which cannot go any higher and
it can be SO regulated as to be kept
stationary for at least few hours. In
cubators are very useful for saving eggs
from loss when hen leaves them, or for
keeping the chicks warm in the winter
until they are strong enough for the hen
to care for them, but cannot be depended
upon wholly in place of the hens. They
may also be used to hatch eggs to fill
out the broods so that each hen may
have as many chicks as it can care for,
which with light Brahma, is about 20.

The Louisville Courier Journal is
making great efforts to keep the
democratic party right on the ques-
tons of tariff and civil service re-
form. When recently attacked by
neutrality-suspicious. journals, it
proved conclusively from the rec
ords, that the democratic party in
its national platform, has never de-
clared for any higher tariff than a
tariff for revenue only TO keep it
in that position by practice as well
us profession, is what the free trade
members of the party are striving
to do; and if they are successful it
will be for the good of the party as
well as for the cause of tariff reform.
In its last issue the Courier Journal
sums up the political situation as
follows:
"The great mass of the voters will
not concern itself much about the
details of any plan to reform the
civil service any more than it will
interest itself in the tiresome debate
of tariff schedules; they simply is
sue their edicts and trust to congress
to execute them. They have de-
termined on two things: the reform
of the civil service and the reform
of the tariff, and they are too much
in earnest to be deceived by mock
reform in either case, The oppor-
tunity is now with the democrats;
they can carry out both of these
great measures, but when it is plain
that they have failed in either they
must give place to a better party
and wiser leadership"

Christmas passed off very quietly.
Remember the ball at the opera
house January l, 1888.
The festival held at Rowe's hall.
was not very largely attended.
The public schools will open on
Tuesday, Jan. 2, 1888.
The tea-meeting at the P. NJ.
church, will be held on Jan. /,
1883. Preparations are being made
for the usual attendance
The tea-meeting at the NJ. E.
church on Tuesday night was a
success, although the usual attend
ance was wanting.
The German Sabbath School had
their Christmas Tree in the Court
House, Sunday night. A large
number gathered to witness the
distribution of presents, and listen
to the elaborate speaking and sing
ing prepared for the occasion. Ev-
erybody in attendance seems to
have been delighted.
Married-On Saturday, night,
Dec. 80, Mr.. Thos. Williams to Miss
Emma Weber.
J. Fl. Cartwright has just moved
into the building formerly occupied
by S. w. Reese's bank. The room
has been newly fitted up, with new

that could have happened to Dodge

HIGHLAND HAPPENINGS.

The Christmas ball which wa:
given by James George at this place
was a grand success, both finan
cially and joyously. About fifty
couples took part in the sport. The
supper could not be better gotten
up, and there was an abundance o.
it. The music was furnished by the
Highland string band, and it was
Just splendid. The crowd was jus,
large enough for those who took part
in the dance to have a jolly good
time and all the dancing they wan
ted. The party broke up when
daylight made its appearance in the
eastern horizon, and all went home
feeling quite happy over their
nights sport.
Frank Neidemyer, the genial clerk
Gas used to be- of the firm of Lewis
Bros, has just quit the above firm
and has made arrangements with
Kennedy & Bro. to clerk in their
store, commencing January /, 1888.
We wish him good success, as Frank
is good boy and bears a good rep
utation.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Dolan lost
their little child Christmas eve, with
Group. 1t was buried Christmas
morning. The child was about one
year old. The parents have the
sympathy of the whole community.
Thos. Kennedy, our popular sher-
if of Iowa county, was here Christ
mas, and left next morning for Mad
ison.
Mrs. Doctor Cosins, is here visit
ing friends, and is the guest of Mrs.
Guyon and Mrs. Dolphin.
Christmas morning dawned rather
stormy, and the snow was falling
thick and fast, but the farmers from
all parts of the country came to
attend the Christmas services which
were held in the several churches in
this village, and we are obliged to
say that we never saw such crowd
of people in this village before; but
hope to see it soon again.
Mrs. Susan Kinare will give the
last grand ball of the season on
New Years night. This will OF
course be a grand gathering, as the
lady understands how to do things
to please the young people. Every
one is invited to attend and help to
make this a grand treat. Come one.
come all. Z. t. 4.

in the shooting match at Miffiin,
yesterday. Huse took first money,
although there were some gco1

Miffiin had its share of Christmas
trees on Saturday evening, and one

Mrs. Elgar is quite ILL., May she
speedily recover is the wish of her
many friends in Rewey.
Chas. Bennett, of Mineral Point,

Rewey. 1t does ones soul good to
shake with boy like him.
Conductor Gleeson of the C. & n.
W. R'y has just received new Ca
boose for his freight and accommo-
dation train. 1t is a great improv-
ment over the old one. In other
words, it fills long felt want.
Last Saturday evening some per-
son or persons let off the brakes on
some cars that were standing on the
side track. 1t being down grade,
had it not been for H. Rundell. who
happened along just then, it might
have resulted in doing a great deal of
damage to property, and probably
some lives would have been lest, as
the evening passenger train was just
coming in. Such persons, if found,
should be severely dealt with.
