All day long he and the dog had
roamed the fields and forest, and many
a covey OF birds they scared up and
many a poor rabbit they frightened al
most to death, but nary one of either
did they kill or catch, and as the sun
went down over the hill, torn by the
briers so that both he and the dog are
limping and tired of life, they turn
their faces homeward with only one
loaded shell left in the gun and no
game in the bag. Wash at this point

They had gone but short distance
ON their way back to the cabin when
they came suddenly upon what seemed
to be "godsend, a trap in which was
caught live rabbit.

barked with delight, and Wash actually
beamed as he addressed himself to the
rabbit to the effect that "I'ze a-gwine
ter kill you anyhow, Mr.. Cottontail ="
Not satisfied with the ordinary meth
cd of breaking his neck by stroke of
the hand, he determined to bag his
game in a more sportsmanlike manner.
He took the rabbit from the trap, and

tached a string to one of his legs and
tied him to tree, backed off a few

BAKING POWDER SECRETS.
Some of the Things Which Every Good
HousekeNper should Know.

Housekesper Should Know.
"Our grandmothers did without bak-
ing powder and were not sensible Of
any difficulty in preparing quick
dough, writes Ella Morris Kretschmar
in The Woman's Home Companion.
But one wonders if results We're not
oftentimes crude because of the nice
care necessary in using soda. In fact,
there are certain legends respecting
greenish yellow or spotted biscuit at
which the present generation of house
keepers smile, thanks to baking pow
der. Soda, an alkali very injurious to
the stomach, should never be used with
out an acid to render it a neutral salt,
as cream of tartar, muriatic acid OF
sour milk, and the proportion must be
exact or the mixture will be either acid
or alkaline
Pure baking powders are simply a
mixture of bicarbonate of soda and
cream of tartar in their proper proper
lions, with perhaps twice their COM
bined weight of rice -four, cornstarcb
or plain -four to insure their keeping
If really pure, they cannot be called in
furious, the danger lying in the use Of
powders having impure ingredients, Of
which quantities are doubtless sold
daily. So sensible have housekeepers
become of these authorizations that many
are going back to the use of soda and
cream of tartar, the use of which, as in.
Dictated, requires both intelligence and
care If one is dependent upon the
average cook standard baking powder
is the safest reliance
In the making of quick coughs (by
use either of baking powder or soda and
cream of tartar) there are two points
not given in any cookbook, so far as the
writer knows, which add greatly to per.
lection in results. To make such dough
proceed as follows:
Into one quart of 0our (measured
before sifting) put level teaspoonful
of salt and 2 heaping teaspoonfuls Of
baking powder, or level teaspoon.
full of soda and 2 rounding ones Of
cream of tartar, mix thoroughly with
the hands and then sift twice. Next
add heaping tablespoonful of butter
or butter and lard mixed, rub up
lightly with the hands and again put
through the sieve, pressing the last
heavier part through with the fingers or
hand. Now toss the mixture lightly
about as when first putting in the balI.
ing powder, and it will be found that
the shortening is distributed with per.
feet evenness through the -four. Have
ready a scant pint of sweet milk in a
mixing bowl and into this put half Of
the flour. Beat hard for few minutes,
when the mixture will be as smooth as
satin. Add rapidly the rest of the -four
roll out quickly, cut (if for biscuit) and
bake at once in rather hot oven.
Some flours require more wetting
than others, but the rule for guidance
is "a dough as soft as can be handled.
A little -four more or less will not
spoil the general result if other direc.
lions are carefully followed. "
