Pound Cake,

"They don't make pound cake pound
for pound in these days" said one
the pound cake makers for the Woma n 5
Exchange, but the formula is about as
easy to remember, if one says to herself:
Six ounces OF butter, seven ounces of
-four (after it is sifted), eight ounces of
sugar and half the latter number in eggs
that is, four" To this add pinch of
ground mace, or two plnches if you like,
or a quarter of a nutmeg and the grated
rind of half lemon and the juice. No
baking powder or soda. Depend on the
beaten whites of the eggs for the light
ness. | know it is the custom in making
this cake to beat the -four and butter
together first, but never had bad luck,
and | beat my butter and sugar together
first, then | add the beaten yolks of the
eggs; then the -four with the mace ard
the grated lemon rind, and when my
papered pans are creased and oven ready
the beaten whites of eggs are added to
the cake and stirred in hurredly When
the eggs are beaten to stiff froth add
the lemon juice to them and use the egg
beater vigorously.
'9 on do not want too hot an oven 10
start with. | some times open my oven
door for several minutes before putting
in the cake. Cook books will tell you
the exact number of minutes required to
bake your lcaf-5ut don't be misled
your minutes will vary with your sly lie
of oven and your kind of fire. Don't
always pin your faith to a brown splinter
either. When your cake stops singing
it is done every time"

DOMESTIC IDEAS
Folly of HOusekeepers who Try
To Do Too Much.

More than half of housekeeping
woman's time is spent in worrying, and
a good share of the other half in prepar
ing food, as though the stomach were
the immortal part of us. Take one
quarter of the time woman devotes to
making pies preparing puddings, putting
up preserves, icing cakes and frying
doughnuts, and let her devote 1t to rest
and recreation, and she would not look
like shred of parchment paper st 40.
1t is the non essentials that kill us. We
must learn to simplify before we can
escape the doom of premature age.
Nature never intended us to live as we
do. If she meant us to eat pastry, she
would have grown 1t on one Of her trees.
She has provided simple food in the
shape of cereals, fruits and vegetables,
and if we conformed ourselves more
closely to her established order of diet
we should be happier and harder race.
solve the domestic problem is simplifica-
ton, and the sooner we begin to simplify
both in the manner of our living and
! what we expect of those who serve us,
the better it will be for mistress and
maid. We talk much of the good and
| faithful servants OF two or three genera
| tions ago. Did our great grandmothers
require their meals served in severa
courses and an extra plate for everything
| from bread and butter through to sauce
| and cheese? A dinner of so years age
| was served all in one course, and the
mistress helped both in the serving anG
the removal. Now she sits with her toe
on an electric bell under the table anC
requires as complete paraphernalia Of
service as appertains to the house of d
grand duke.

Road Making by COnyicts.

One interesting feature OF State prison
life the last year will be reported by Mr..
Flower in his messa ge and that is the
experiment in State road building by the
convicts at Clinton Prison. Dannemora.
Warden Thayer put 100convicts at work
constructing road from the railroad
station at Dannemora to the great State
prison. He kept an accurate account
of the days labor done by each man aud
of the cost of the road making tools, apd
therefore has been able to furnish Gov
ernor Flower with the figures as to the
actual cost of constructing mile and an
eighth of ordinary country road. These
figures will be given in the message.
Governor Flowers idea in constructing
the experimental road was to encourage
the building of better roads by the var
ious counties in the State. At his suggest
ion also the State Legislature last winter
passed new highway law for the con
struction of country roads, especially
designed to encourage the various
counties, through their boards of sup
ervisors, to begin the construction OF
better roads. The financial panic of last
summer prevented counties of the State
generally from taking advantage of this
highway law. Governor Flower, there
fore will not be able to make much of q
report on this subject. There are sigusp
however that some counties are awaken
ing to the advantages this new law give.

How to Keep Cut Flowers.

The best arrangement for displaying
| cut flowers, as we'll as the most natura
and economical, is that of using any low.
shallow vessel, either of glass or china
of about the size and depth of a soup
plate. II this is filled with clean fresh
green moss from the woods, according tC
the New York AdCertiser, made up in a
slightly rounded form in the center,
flowers and ornamental sprays of leaves
can be inserted in a free, natural appear
ing manner, instead of having that
excessively formal appearance they
usually have then packed in small vases
or when made into bouquets They also
keep fresh for longer period, owing to
the much larger surface exposed immedi
ately under them, the moist moss
furnishing a source of vapor which tends
to preserve the blossoms. The moss
should be we'll sprinkled with water at
each renewal of the flowers
Very pleasing effects may be produced
by procuring small rooted plants, such
as violets, which may be picked up in
the woods and fields, and inserting them
in the damp moss, where they will con
tlnue to grow and flower for some consid
cradle time. An arrangement of this
kind is easily kept ever fresh by substitu
ting twig or fern or flower as others
fade and are removed.
Trailing plants of suitable growth may
be usefully employed in this sort of
decoration. The linaria cymbalarla
often called kenilworth ivy; the trades
cantia discolor, one OF the many Wan
dering Jews" of our domestic plant
nomenclature, and the lysimachia num-
mularia or moneywort, are some of The
plants we'll fitted for use in this way.

Other Small Fruits.

Raspberries and blackb berries will soor
fill up the spaces between the plants,
and plenty of room, therefore, should be
allowed them. Onco established they
will remain for years, and if the plants
are SO arranged in the rows as to permit
of the checkrow system of cultivation a
great saving of labor will be effected
The best market blackberry-the Wilson
has bsen nearly era1ieated by the
attacks OF tho borer, bu5 some other
varieties seem to escape, though the
black berry crop is not as large as in
former, but there has been an increase
in the area devoted to strawberries aud
raspberries. The best variety depends
on the climate and soil, and can only be
known by testing several varieties, as
experiments show that the best varieties
in some sections are almost worthless in

ON THE FARM.
Small Fruit Farming.

To make spec atty of small fruits Is
to use less land, give the best of Guilt
walton, and apply manure and fertilizers
literally. Instances have been known
where as much as 500 per acre have
been secured from one acre OF strawber
ries, but such results are an exception.
In this section the experienced do not
wait until the season opens, but begin
work as soon as the condition of the
ground permits. If manure is to be
used, nothing that is coarse lis placed
on the ground, only the finest and most
perfectly rotted material.
II fertilizers are resorted to they
are used before the young plants
begin to shoot out, aud if poss-
ible, the rows are cultivated, the
object baing to have the plant food with
in reach of the young plants at time
when they need it most.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1894-01-27
New Plots.

In order to give the young plants
start the land is made rich. and they are
transplanted as early as possible, 30 as
to give them the advantages of the
spring rains. A dry spell not only inter
feres with their growth, but cuts the
crop from the old bed shoot. The great
est enemy of the strawberry is the weeds
1t is easy enough to keep them down
between the rows, and if the bed is mat
ted in wide row hand pulling must be
resorted to, but if the young plants are
we'll worked the first year, aud the space
between each plant kept clean, the weeds
can be kept down SO as to protect the
matted rows the second year. The young
plants may be put out in rows wide
enough to permit of horse culture, and
should be a foot apart in the rows
Later in the season they will throw out
runners, which will cover every square
inch of space in the rows. The plants
that are set out this spring will bear a
full crop next spring.

Notes of the Farm,

Do not catch sheep by the wool.
they are too wild to take by the necl
have shepherd crook to hook on the
hind leg aud draw the animal out of the
flock without disturbance
Make the barn as tight as boards and
shingles and clapboards will MAKE it
and see that it IS made tight underneath
80 that the cold will not drive in there.
Heifers should be cared for anc
handled, 30 when they come III the dairy
they will not have to be "broke,' which
means spelling thousands of the best Of
the heifers.
Milk is sterilized to destroy bacteria
The process consists in heating the milk
to 1EO degrees for ten minutes and then
cooling rapidly to SO degrees and then
repeating the operation.
Pay some attention to what your
neighbor is doing not being jealous OF
his success. but endeavoriug to profit by
it. 1t is quite likely he knows how to
do some things better than you; and
maybe you can give him pointer Or TWO
in exchange.
Every sheep owner should know how
to grade wool, says writer. A good
buyer often purchases at a low price
simply because the owner does not know
how it will grade.
The appearance of the animals on a
farm tells good deal about the owner
and his tastes. Thin cows, with promi-
nent ribs in winter or spring are not
much of recommendation.
In some of the great cattle producing
sections, where once nothing was thought
of but stock, land owners are now com
bining farming with their stock growing
This combination is true agriculture.
Either branch by itself lacks something
Of completeness.
DO not think that the winter is "a
season for leisure only upon the farm.
When it is SO regarded leisure becomes
only another name for loafing. Study,
read, plan, think an1 fit yourself to be a
better farmer next year than you have
ever been. There is room Tor improve
ment.
Grass culture lies right at the foun-
dation of successful stock farming
Some men do not seem to understand
that there is just as much need of care
and thorough methods in growing grass
as in growing grain or other crops Ii
they will pay more attention to this
matter they will succeed better with
stock.
Conway from home little during the
winter if you can, and learn what farm
ers are doing elsewhere. When you arc
in new places visit the markets and see
what products are in demand and what
prices are being obtained. Every sort
of information that at all relates to your
business is of value and you should
neglect no opportunity to procuree the
same.
In careful corn growing experiments
two facts seem to have been made clear.
One is that the largest total product
will come from planting the largest
variety of cen that will mature. The
other is that the thickest planting which
