CAKE-BAKING.
Homo Methods Versus Those Taught
in the Cooking-schoo1s.

In the course Of her lesson on "Cook-
cry for Girls in the Woman's Home
Companion, Sallie JOY White contrasts
the experience of the novice in cake-bak-
ing in the home and school kitchens:
1T usually happens that the very first
thing young cook undertakes to do is
to make cake. l can't tell you why this
is so universally the case, but the fact
remains undisputed and undisputable. /
dare say, however one reason is that
every detail follows so quickly one upon
another that the result is quickly at
tanned. 1t happens, too, very many
times that after the cake mixture is
compounded il is left in more expert
enced hands for baking. And the mix
ing is only one half the work: the least
important half, too, for any cake, how
ever elaborate. may be spoiled by care
less baking. while the simplest one may
be made fine and nice by attention while
it is in the oven.
But in the school-kitchens the cake
making, or, indeed, the mixing of any
batters, is not taught until the pupils
have mastered the stove, learned to
make and keep a fire, and to cook simple
food without mixing. In this way the
teaching is made systematic, and is thor
oughly understood

Of Interest to Farmers and Poultry
RaiSers.

The Plankinton Packing Co. of Mil
waukee are now killing and shipping
large quantities of dressed poultry daily.
On May 10Th, the above named company
established and started the handling and
killing of live poultry for shipment to
Eastern markets, dressed. A similar in
dustry has never before been carried on
in Milwaukee, and it is of great impOr-
lance to the farmers and raisers of pOul-
try in this section of the country, gen.
orally, as it provides an extensive
market which has not before existed.
Since establishing this department the
Plankinton Packing Co. has found it
plies in this line from our Western
states, such as Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska. 1t will be to the interest of the
farmers of this section to pay more at
tention to the raising of poultry, knowing
that it can always be marketed, and at
liberal prices. Plymouth Rocks are pre-
ferred for dressing.
The scarcity of marketable live poul-
try, in territory adjacent to Milwaukee,
seems to arise from the fact that this
city has, in the past, been more of q
local market than anything else. but,
with the big outlet opened up by the
above company, and the fact that they
are in position to handle all classes of
poultry, should be an inducement for
farmers and poultry raisers to 90 ex-
tensively into poultry-rearing The
Plankinton people make prompt returns
for all poultry consigned them, and the
only expense to the shipper is the cost
of carriaGe.

WORK OF COLONIAL DANES.
They Will Provide De1icacies for the
Sick and Wounded of the Navy.

Sick and Wounded of the Navy.
The Colonial Danes of America, Mrs.
]. Lyon Gardiner, president, have or
ganized committee to raise an emer-
gency fund to be used by the surgeon
general of the navy for the purpose of
supplying fresh fruit, vegetables and
other delicacies to the sick and wound
ed. The purpose for which subscrip-
tons are now being received is suggested
by Surgeon-General Van Reypen as be-
ing the best to which any fund raised
for the benefit of the sick and wounded
can be applied.
! is the intention of the Government
not TO keep any of the wounded or sick
men in the tropical climate, but to move
them as fast as possible from any place
where an engagement takes place, in the
first instance to Tampa or Key West
and then to some Northern port For
this purpose they have either one or two
ambulance vessels already fitted up, and
the encouragement says that fund
placed in his hands to supply the articles
mentioned would be of the greatest as
sistance to him. Should there be a
speedy termination of the war, it is pro-
posed to use the money for the relief of
the distress caused by it. and for the
American soldiers who may be left in

Hot-Weather Cautions for Bathers

Never enter the water when overheated
rest a little first, and cool off, but not
enough to feel cold. Bathers should enter
the water when the body is at a glow, not
when it is in active or violent perspiration
Never enter the water with a headache;
never do so with a full stomach Moth
ing can be more dangerous to the system
than to contravene these rules, and many
have lost their lives by negiecting them.
No one should enter the water Immediate
ly after dinner; none who wish to avoid
the swimmers bugbear, cramps, should
enter it when suffering from acidity Of the
stomach. The best time for bathing is
either before breakfast or between II and
II in the forenoon. All who suffer from
delicate constitutions should avoid bathing
in the early morning.-Frank H. Nizetelly
in the Woman's Home Companion.

THE RUSSIAN SOLDIER IN ASIA
He is Serious Problem for the Eng
lish to Solve.


/ have had an opportunity of seeing a
great deal of the Russian army of Central
Asia. and the more | have seen of it the
less pleased have | been at the prospect
of our Indian army having to encounter
it. | have never feared the issue. because
! am sure that at the last we shall pull
ourselves together, and with mighty eff
fort repel the Russians. But the cost,
the labor and the strain will probably be
terrible. and the nearer they approach to
us the more difficult will become the task.
l once held the Russians in supreme con-
tempt, and like many EngliShmen, be-
lieved that we could make short work of
them or of any other foe. But the cOnyic-
ton has since slowly and steadily been
impressed on my mind that the Russian
army is for fighting purposes. IN every
respect the equal to ours, and III some re-
SpectS would have an immense advantage
over us in the field. The men are all of
one race, are stronger, more hardy and
healthier than ours; there are no native
followers; they require less transport and
supplies and fewer luXurleS; have an in
eXhaustible reserve, are nearer home, etc.
| have visited TranscaSpia on eight sep
arate occasions, have seen the Russian
| soldier on and off parade, and have trav-
| eled with him for weeks together in trains

| studying him. And | have arrived at the
conclusion that he is the most docie,
good tempered till you scratch HIM, pig
headed creature on earth, as hard as nails
and generally of superb physique. He is
stupid and ignorant perhaps, but he has
| apprehension enough to shoot straight,
and to understand when he is told to ad-
vance or not to quit a post alive, and he
never disputes an order or complains.
And that, l take it, is sufficient for q

with his lot and no lawyer.-NationaI Re

A cupful has generally meant a differ

High on the Winslow's conning-tow'r

Beheld with fierce unchanglng eye
The shrieking shells around him fly;
Unmoved by danger, grandly calm
He braved the foes destructive harm;
Nor showed white feathers, tho his breast
Some three or four, perchance, confessed
Nor even stopped to turn the tail
That kept him balanced on the rail:
There, while his plume triumphant shone,
He dared the Spanish hosts Come on.'
