should be used again only for the same
purpose. Turkey and chicken fats,
when fresh and out Of young, healthy
fowl, are as nice As butter for cooking
uses.
If the cakes and cookies cling too low
ingly to the pans in which they are
baked, before using the tins again rub
them we'll with salt.
When baking gginger-snaps or cookies,
a slight dustinR of flour in the bottom of
the tin will enable the cakes to leave
the pan as we'll as If butter OF other
grease were used, and is often more
practicable; when the oven heat is such
as to burn articles intrusted to it, the
coating of -four will help to save
them.
Where their use in croqaettes Is not
desired, left-overs from steaks, ham, bits
of bacon and other cold meats may be
toothsomely used by choppine finely,
adding little butter, salt and pepper,or
other seasoning according to taste, a
sprinkling of -four and q tablespoonful
or more of water. Heat and pour over
hot, buttered toast which has been ar
ranged upon platter; in the center Of
each slice and upon the minced meat
drop teaspoonful of currant OF grape
jelly and Immediately serve. If toma-'
toes or other salad is eaten with this
dish the jelly is not required.
A frugal dish which will be to many q
pleasant surprise is that of fresh beans
and potatoes cooked together. Break
the snap or wax beans and boil rapidly
in salted water until within ten minutes
of being tender. Then add to them
potatoes cut small enough to require the
remaining ten minutes for their cooking
When both are done, pour OF the water

wholesome vegetables will, we trust, be
helpful

Are Cor Pullrts 70 Lay.

Pullets of any breed ought to lay one
setting of eggs in the fall. Those
hatched earliest will lay earliest, and
begin again after short rest If we'll fed
and kept warm. The Asiatic breeds are
more apt to be overfed and fat. Give
them only bran and oats, except in the
coldest weather. Feed sparingly and
mix the oats among cut straw, so they
will have to work to get their feed. Late
fail chicks we'll wintered often begin
laying early in spring, and make good
layers until early summer.

At q recent meeting of the Elmira
Farmers Club, President McCann said
he wanted to know how to raise good
calf without milk. In response, John
Bridgman said: Il have raised calves on
hay tea with little milk and a handful
of wheat middlings or ground oats mixed
with it. It will keep them growing, and
make them strong, but not fesny. I
have also fed porridge made of buck
wheat -four. Think they need milk
until week or more old. G. w. Hoff-
man said: Il would feed calves dry
meal. never had any trouble to get
them to eat it. / would feed them milk
for two weeks, and three is better;
either SKINNED or buttermilk is good to
raise calves on as new milk" d. Shap-
pee said: aTo raise calves would feed
them new milk until three or four weeks
old, and if was selling my milk
would go to the creamery and get
skinned or buttermilk to feed them,
with corn-meal mixed with it. I would
prefer buttermilk to SKINNED milk"

PIuoling Live Geese and Ducks.

Almost every year some one starts the
theory that plucking geese and ducks
while alive is necessarily cruel busi-
ness. 1t may be if done at the wrong
time, which no experienced poulterer
would do. If left unplucked in spring,
the feathers on geese and ducks natur-
ally come out, or become so loose that
they are pulled out by the birds them
selves in making nests. Atthis season
they can be pulled without any injury
to the skin, and the birds feel all the
better for their relief from superfuous
clothing. New feathers come and are
ready to pick easily in about six weeks.
When cold weather comes on the feath-
ers do not become loose until winter is
past, and warm weather prepares for
change of clothing.

The Eleventh Census.

The first census Of the United States was
taked.in 1890 1t simply recorded the names OF
heads OF families, enumerated the free white
males OF 16 years and upwards, the same un-
ger 10, and gave the number of females and
humber OF slaves. The total population of the
couhtrY at that time was shown to be less
'nan 4'ooo,ooo. The second and third CEN
suses went somewhat more elaboratelv into
ciasSincation Of ages, but undertook little
more than to ascertain the total nnmbar ~
the population. The sixth census t.Lor =.
1910. distinguished all the whites nv GOV az
by age. and also undertook to make an a ana
meration of the deaf, dumb. blind. insano
and idiotic. The enumerators were also re-,
quired to take census Of all persons receiv-
ing pensions from the United States, and to
make return of mines, agriculture, commerce,
manufactures and schools. Ten years later
in 1850, the scope of the census was greatly
enlarged. and a special census board, COM
posed of the secretary Of state. attorney
general and post master general, constituted
to take charge Of it. The board was
subsequently dissolved and the work

and placed the enumeration under his
charge. From this time dates our present
mode OF taking the census. Before this
period 1t had been taken by United States
marshals. The scope of the census con-
stantly broadened after 1850, until the census
OF 1880 covered multitude of INQUIRIES not
thought Of in the earlier days Of the Repub-
lie. Indeed it would seem that the limit 70
which such an inquiry may profitably go
mad been reached, and even exceeded in
1880. for the census of that year was
hardly completed before the arrival of
tnc time for taking the next decennial emu
meratlon. The census of 1890 which was
actually begun yesterday will cover some
what less ground than the census which pre-
ceded 1t. 1t will, however, make some
inquiries, inquiries relating especially to the
Indebtedness of the people, which were not
made ten years ago. The prediction is
made that the present census will show
population of 60.000,O00-or an increase In
the century which has elapsed since the
taking of the first census of 81. 100000 souls.
