Tea Cake.-One cup of sugar, piece of butter
the size OF an egg, two cups of milk, two eggs,
one quart of -four two teaspoonfuls Of baking
powder and one teaspoonful of salt Bake in a
good oven, and eat hot. This cake must be
broken, not cut.
Orange Custard. Orange custard to serve in
cups is a dainty and delicious dish; the juice of
ten large oranges, the yolks of ten eggs, a heap
ing teacupful of powdered sugar, and one pint
of cream; put the sugar and orange juice to-
gether in a porcelain-lined saucepan, and set it
on the stove; stir it constantly until it
bubbles, then skim it, and set it where
it will cool; beat the yolks Of the
sugar, then stir in the cream; let this cook very
slowly until it is of the desired thickness, then
pour it into cups. The whites of the eggs should
be beaten very diligently, and teacupful Of
powdered sugar be beaten with them; put a large
spoonful of this on the top of each cup.
Sour Milk Cookies. Sour milk is so little
used since the advent Of baking powder that few
modern cooks know how to dispose Of a cup Of
sour cream or milk; here is an old time and
most excellent receipt for sour cream or milk
cookies: two cups of sugar, one cup of butter,
one of sour cream or milk, three eggs. one tea
spoonful of soda; mix soft roll thin. When the
cookies are cut out sift granulated sugar over
them, and roll it in by pressing the rolling pin
gently over the cakes, taking care not to fatten
them too much.
Oyster Omelet: Beat four eggs very light cut
out the hard parts of one dozen oysters, wipe
them dry and cut them into small pieces; stir
them into the eggs. Have the frying pan hot
with enough butter to cover it well; then pour
the omelet in, sprinkle pepper and salt over it.
When the under side is nicely Drowned, the
omelet will be entirely done. Before removing
it from the pan fold one half over the other.
This makes an excellent entree, to be served
with turkey.

Changes in Agriculture.
Boston Journal.


The time is past when school boy can com
NIT to memory list of the agricultural products
of the different states of this country with the
ease which former cast-iron formula made DOS.
sible Each great exposition has shown that our
well-informed agriculturists are alert in sez-
ing new openings, and the last agricultural ex-
hibition has succeeded admirably in emphasiz
ing the tendency of the country to diversity
of agricultural industries. In New Orleans
the visitor is surprised by the similarity
of the exhibits from different States, and
after careful survey is apt to remark
that absolute uniformity has been prevented
only by the different methods Of exhibiting the
same products. Important changes are going on
each year, especially in the great agricultural
regions of the West To illustrate these con-
slant changes California is o profitable example
of industry and vigilance. In that State the
native breeds of beef cattle have almost wholly
disappeared the merino sheep is fast losing
prominence, and fruit growers are looking
for new outlets for their products and for new
methods of caring for fruit Most impor-
tant change Of all Is the converting of greater

Farm Notes.

A little air-slacked lime sprinkled over the
potatoes in the cellar will tend to prevent rot
and purify the air of the cellar.
If the farmers living along the lines of the
country roads would unite and use their farm
rollers over the roads whenever thaws occur,
such practice would make the roads much more
passable
In order to keep the striped beetle from the
vines the experiment was tried of placing corn
cobs dipped in coal tar near the hills While
the practice did not entirely prevent the raw
ages of the beetle, their numbers were largely
diminished.
He who would succeed in feeding cattle for
market should house his beeyes in warm, dry,
clean stalls; never leave them in the Storm
shivering, nor keep them knee deep in mud
All the food used in keeping an animal warm is
so much taken from the fattening supply.

Baby's Winter Outfit
January RahYhnod

January haywood.
A pretty robe for the baby's carriage or sleigh
is knit in stripes. a stripe of blue alternating
with one of pink and blue combined. The blue
stripe is plain, the other being made up of al
ternate rows of the two colors. The stripes, hav-
ing been sewn together, should be pressed with
an iron, cloth slightly dampened to be laid
over the seam before the iron is applied.
Another robe suitable for very young baby is
of pure white. 1t is crocheted, and two rows of
open work are left for ribbons to be run in
lengthwise. About the middle of the left hand row
tie the ribbon in handsome bow. Jersey fan
nels make very pretty robes The edge should be
finished with scallop. Squares of fur are both
pretty and warm.
When the baby has outgrown his Angora
wool hood it need not be laid aside, for after
washing it in hot suds and shaking it until it
begins to dry, and then hanging it where it will
dry quickly, it may be trimmed all around with
swans down. Sew the down on with "over-
and-overD stitch, then face the hood with silk or
fine white cashmere. A plating of white lace is
pretty addition.
A pretty hood for very little baby is made of
white silk; it is crocheted and is put over foun-
dation of white wool. also crocheted This hood
is trimmed around the edge with narrow band
of swans-down the strings are of white satin,
an inch and half wide, and where they are
sewed on tiny bows of ribbon are fastened.
Worsted hoods, whether knit or crocheted,
should have thin lining of muslin or Of silk;
otherwise the wind and cold air are almost Ger
tain to penetrate, and earache results
Lovely and soft little shoes are made Of quilted
satin. Patterns can be purchased, or by measur-
ing shoe of the right size one can make the
pattern. A lining of one thickness of cotton,
with thin muslin over it, will give warmth A
pair of pink satin shoes made in this way were
fastened with small steel buttons.
How to keep the child of two or three years in
white and still keep him warm, is question
that agitates various households. The only
really sensible way seems to be to regard the white
dress as just so much extra clothing, not in
tended for comfort warmth but for good
looks The body needs warm, long-sleeved
flannel underdress, which, of course, may be of
white, and, if of good quality and carefully
washed, it will remain white for season.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan, %.
With the slight yet discernible improvement

On the time of credit margins, as small wholesale
men cannot afford to 90 on to the money market
and borrow funds to enable them to carry poor
dilatory creditors. In commenting on this
matter the Indianapolis Grocer says in its notes
on mercantile life "The evil Of the times is
two-fold. A paucity of credit speculation.
Mercantile property is turned at a considerable
expense, and cheap credit adds much to its bur
den. There is not firm in any line of trade
whether the store house is at The Corners, where
blacksmith shop and a meeting house constitutes
the trading post or whether it is on Broadway

burdensome credits. The increasing failures
point to this dread evil ominously, and yet
what is done to wipe it out! Money

make converts OF three-fourthS Of time mer
shants. No dealer would ever return to the
shades of debt if once his back was turned upon

Sugars continue firm at the recent advance. The
distribution of roasted coffees is good. Canned
goods are moving out little more freely. The Gro
Ger says: Those who bought ahead last fall
have found no profit in carrying. Except peas,
berries and pine apples, there isn't fruit or
vegetable on the list which has paid o profit on
the investment Retailers are almost giving
away canned stuff. Think of tomatoes retail
ing at Scents, and corn at 90 cents per dozen,
which cost the jobber So cents in October by the
