AN EXCELLENT CAKE.
II Is Called tho Gold Loaf and Has
Few Equals M Dainty
Summer Delicacy.

This is a moist, delicate cake, and is
made with sour milk, which renders it
very tender. At this season of the year,
when milk is beginning to sour easily
it is well to have variety of ways in
which to use i. If it is left long, as
everyone knows, il will become unit
for use. except for SKILL. To make t.s;is
cake mix two cups of sugar and one cup
of butter. Stir in the yolks OF TOUR
eggs. and beat well. Add cupful OF
sour miIk-milk that is turned to solid
curd, with good proportion of-whey.
Milk that is just turned. or very sour
but not firm. should not be used. STIR
the mixture thoroughly. In another
Gale bowl sift four cupfuls of pastry
fi.t''f dread flour will do, however, ana
M ven teaspoonful of soda. 1t is bet
ter for cake to sift the four and soda
together several times. Stir the other
iHeredients gradually into the Hour
aud soda. being careful to avoid having
lumps in the batter When well beaten,
aesl the whites of the four eggs of which
the yolhs have already been used. The
whites should be beaten to very stiff
froth before they are put into the bat
ter. This cake is delicious. even with
oat raisins or citron. 1t makes hand
some, rich cake, however, for birth
day party if thin slices of citron-
enough to suit the taste-and about
cnpful of raisins are added. The raisins
should be washed, stoned and dipped in
flour before stirring them into the bat
ter. FIGURING them lightly prevents
sinking to the bottom of the cake. Turn
the dough into a very large, round loaf
tin. or two smaller ones, well CREASED.
Bake this cake in moderate oven for
about 40 minutes, being careful not to
let il fall by carelessiy opening the
oven door too wide, or jamming it in
any way. 1t is very nice when made
into small cup cakes, leaving out the
raisiEs and citron, of course. Ice the
title cake all over with chocolate icing
or with heavy white icing.-N. 7.

For Stout Women.

It las often been urged, but it seems
well to emphasize by much repetition
that women of generous proportions
should invariably renounce all of these
round WASTED styles, no matter how
beautiful they appear on some other
s!enderer figure, or how universally the
rage for them increases. Adopting
these waists is not matter of age,
for the young, the mature and the
elderly find them comfortable and use
full. 1t is simply matter of figure,
and, for women inclined to stoutness,
there are many close, trim and attrac-
tive models which make them look bet
ter and slenderer than any of the
round" styles. festooned with net,
draped with lace, and finished with
circling ribbon, bells and bows, which
cut of the apparent length of the waist
by two or three inches.--N. Y. Post.

The roof slants towards the south, thus
securing greater protection from the

surprised to see the amount of time
hogs will spend under these protec-

could then escape from their winged

A New York firm has been expert
menting with the shipment Of eggs and
poultry to Havana. but not with encour-
aging success. Two carloads of live
poultry and IT'S cases of eggs were
shipped. the stock coming from Ten
ncssee and going via Port Tampa. Fla.
taking two days to reach Havana. The
breakage Of eggs was remarkable. One
lot brought 10 cents per dozen; another
16 cents. The poultry was carried in
the hold of the vessel - dark, hot and
badly ventilated-and of the first lot
100 died: Of the second, 200. The price
at Havana could not overcome this loss.
Chickens brought 81 dozen. Still the
demand il such that shipped in cool
weather, and with better facilities,
there will be profit in the business.
