Flanagan, Chicago, H., is s'Stories

the reader. This interest will, vi
course, lead them to more thorough
study OF the history of our country as
back is. it's simple, direct language;
another is its choice of the events of

''The Story of Lincoln, "by Frances
Cravens, is the best we have seen of
the large number of biographies of
great men written for children.
1t has more virtues than being well
written. It is well printed and we'll IL
lustrated-two valuable qualities in
children's books. 1t begins with the
removal of the Lincoln family from
Virginia to Kentucky, and carries on
the story of the strong, eventful,
splendid life to Its tragic demise. The
book closes with Edgerton's beautiful
poem beginning:

We received the ':Story of the
Great Republic from the American
Book Co. this week. 1t is one of che
two history series of our own country
written by Guerber, whose talent for
placing the great literature and his
tory of the world in shape for child
rem Is second to none in the United
States. The first of the series is the
Story of the Thirteen Colonies" 1t
gives the story of the early days of
our history which contains such valu-
able lessons in perseverance, and
faithfuluess.
1.-The Story of the Great Republic"
begins with the, birth of the nation on
the memorable 4th of July, '76. 1t is
carried on through the stormy revolu-
tionary days aud the struggles follow.
ing: the dark days of the rebellion
and the tale OF progress and develop
ment following are all told in a
charming and interesting manner. We
would especially recommend these two
books to parents desiring suitable
Christmas presents for their children
and urge upon them the wisdom of
giving their children such valuable
books as these, instead of the trash
that is often given for Christmas
presents. These books are attractive
ly gotten up and the illustrations are
good.

Mr.. Peabody will deliver MIR. Cragen

BREEDING AND FEEDING FOL
EGGS.

.r .
1t is q well known fact that some
standard hens and some mongrels don't
lay. We know Of light brahma pullet
with a high score that came from one
of the best known fanciers in the coun-
try, and she laid only two eggs in a
whole year; while other birds of same
variety in the same flock were making
egg records that were near to the top
notch. We also know Of mongrel hens
that never laid an egg in their lives.
Is 1t not just barely possible that
whether the fowl is in our out Of the
standard has nothing to do with her
egg ability? We think that it matters
little what the color or shape of the
fowl may be, If the egg laying habit has
been bred in her and in her family for
generations, and if she is fed for eggs
you will get eggs, be she a mongrel or
standard bird. To be thoroughbred
layer is one thing, and to be a thor
oughbred fancy fowl may be quite a
different thing altogether. We firmly
believe that thoroughbreds. are the best
for all purposes. and we believe that
the laying habit can, by selection, be
bred into all our most popular stand
ard varieties. But we do not believe
that just because a fowl is pure bred
and standard she is necessarily a good
layer-not by good long shot.

SKIM MILK AND WHEY.

One Of the most needed reforms in
creameries and cheese factories is in
the care Of skim milk and whey. says
the Elgin Dairy Report. Filthiness,
which is practiced in many places, will
come back in severe punishment to
every patron. 1t exists largely because
the patrons and all concerned are ig.
norant Of sanitary principles and their
effect on the value Of the product. In
many creameries and factories pains
are taken to have an elevated, double
tank for skim milk and whey. One OF
the tanks Is cleaned and scalded out
every day. so that this valuable food
goes into a clean receptacle each morn.
ing. In addition some creameries use
the exhaust steam to pasteurize the
skim milk as it comes from the separ.
ator, 80 that It may have the larges,
:Ssiua possible when fed to hogs and
calves.

Pie M aklng.

From the Gentlewoman: For all kinds
of pastry except a raised crust for
meat pies it is necessary to chill all
the ingredients, Pastry -four is pre-.
ferred from majority of good cooks
it differs from ordinary mixed or bread
-four. containing more starch and less
gluten. Many grocers think they can
call any flour pastry -four. SO it is well
to know how to tell 1t. true pastry -four
being usually little more expensive
than other kinds. 1t Is much whittier
than bread flour: little Of 1t rubbed
between the hands will adhere to tine
skin like corn starch; handful tightly
squeezed will retain its compressed
shape and show the imprint of the fin
gers when the hand is opened: Il
thrown against the wall or a board II
will adhere like snow.
Flour which is very dry will give the
best results in bread, cake or pastry
Where practicable a blk should bt
kept on a high shelf near the kitchen
fire: as used it can be ref1lled from the
barrel. One of the new kitchen inven.
lions is twenty-five pound flour bin
which hangs from the ceiling.
Various kinds Of shortening are used
for pastry, the most common beinl
lard; 1t gives very haky crust, but Ii
not considered as digestible an some
other kinds Of fat Where possible use
at least half butter.
