PERFECTION IN CAKE.MAKING.

Housekeepers frequently wonder why
II is that they cannot make biscuit and
cake that are light asd palatable and
that taste as delicious as the biscuit and
cake made by their mothers and grand~
mothers, the delightful memory of which
even to this day creates a sensation of
pleasure 10 the palate. The trouble
arises from the highly adulterated state
of the materials they have 20 work with.
particularly the cream-of-tariar and
Cream of>tartar and soda that are new
~procurable for domestic purposes CON
tain large quantities of lime, earth, alum
and otAer adulteraGts, frequently from

Somebody was mean enough to steal
a ~pitchfork aud some corn from Capt.
Mott, at the Byers place on the Cimar-
ron. the first Of the week, Mott uses
the barn there for n feeding station on
the mail route between Beaver and
Meade, and although he might lock the
doors so 10 one could get in. he has left
1t open SO that anyone could put a team
inside and feed them. 1t requires a

"a grave fault with a goodly number

in the October Ladies' HoRe journal.
Young men do not seem clearly TO real
ize that where they are they were ins
tended TO be, and for some mighty good
purpose, too. The place where a young

Creator meant that he should be. There's
fore he is capable of filling il. God
makes no mistakes. But it is meant that
we should grow of our own efforts; get
strong through the c%onquering of difi>
cultics. When II Dung man starts out
to live a useful life, and starts u with
a right determination, au adherence TO
honorable principles, and a faith in God.

The picnic at Rizley's grove last week
was not ms well attended as it might
have been. but as The weather was per-
feet and the grove 4 delightful place TO
visit, everybody there had a good time
We did not get to hear any speeches, but
saw the races, aud some of them
were very good, In the sweepstakes
race Charley Reddick's bay horse won
from Redemer's marc by a nose, they
being the only two that were really IN
tie race. A race was matched between
Davis's sarrel horse and n horse belong
ing To some travelling horsemen. in
which the latter won by half a length,
after an exciting contest. Saturday the
same horses ran again, and the Davis
horse wos. There were a number of
other good races-in fact the races wee
the principal par, Of tn. picnic, When
there were no races the people talked,
ate watermelon. wen fishing. danced,
aud amused themselves in many other
ways. Taken altogether the picnic af-
ferded an ideal opportunity for an out

THE NEW METHOD OF GRAPHING.
is cut upward sufficiently long to cross
over the crown of the branch to be
grated, half an inch of it being bent
to be slipped under the bark on the
opposite side of the branch. This
method of grating can be applied
TO trees having branches about an inch
In diameter rather less than more.
In preparing the stock branch the one
to be operated ON ought to be severed
rather close to the main branch, only
leaving about two inches. The cuts
must, OF course, be made to correspond
as nearly as possible with those on the
scion; or this method can be applied to
young trees as stocks where they are
too large for splice grating. This
method of grating gives stability to
the work and the CRAFTS are not so
liable to be blown out as in some others.
The system is much appreciated in
Shropshire by amateurs who have time
on hand for the work, and has proved
very successful Probably many per-
sons do not practice it on account Of it's
requiring more time to prepare the
scions, and also the stocks, than older
styles, but in my opinion it only re.
