n sweet That May BE HAD In WINTER A
Well as Summer.
Although the small fruits from
which the housekeeper usually makes
shortcakes are gone for this season,
says the New York Tribune, one
woman, whose family is hard to sat-
isfy in the matter of deserts, has ORR
ginated plan by which she manages
to have fruit shortcakes all the year
round.
In the summer fresh fruits are used,
but for winter the preserved fruits are
found to be equally popular. The lat
ter are not the ordinary canned fruits,
jams or other mixtures, but the kinds
which by a careful process are pre-
served whole, and bottled in rich
syrup. These may be obtained at any
first-class grocery store, and cost from
% to so cents a bottle, depending on
the size and brand. OF the domestic
brands, bottle costing % cents will
family of five.
The majority of those who have tried
the biscuit crust for the cake part
prefer it to the regular layer cake so
much used. The winter fruit short
cake is made as follows:
Ingredients, three cups of self-raising
flour, one and half cupfuls of milk,
one-third of a cupful of powdered
sugar, one-third of a teaspoonful of
salt, one heaping tablespoonful of
lard, one bottle of preserved fruit and
one pint of cream, sweetened and
favored.
Sift the flour, add the salt, then rub
in the lard until it is thoroughly
blended with the flour and there are no
Jumps. Add the sugar and milk, and
stir until 1t is thoroughly smooth.
Pour into a round jelly-cake tin, and
bake in rather brisk oven for twenty
minutes. Immediately upon removing
the shortcake from the oven split it
straight across into two layers, and
butter each thoroughly, being careful
that the butter is not too salt When
the butter has been absorbed by the
shortcake, divide the contents of the
bottle Of fruit into two parts. Spread
the fruit from one part over the lower
layers of cake. and pour the syrup
over it. Then place the top layer over
it, and proceed in the same manner.
Sweeten the cream to taste, and flavor
with vanilla. then whip until it is
stiff enough to hold any shape in
which 1t is placed, and spread It over
he top and sides of the shortcake.
rhe cake should be served within an
lour or so of making, and some per-
sons like 1t hot. The fruits best adapt
ed for this purpose are Strawberries.
raspberries and peaches. The whipped
cream is not absolutely necessary, but
it adds to the appearance and flavor
of the dessert.

How to Sleep Comfortably.

NJ. A. Faret, French scientist. has
undertaken to teach us how to sleep.
He has experimental scientifically in
the art Of sleeping comfortably.
As result he advises the abolition
of the pillow and the bolster The only
natural position for one to assume
while sleeping is the horizontal. First
one must get used to sleeping without
bolster. The next step, he says, is to
remove the pillow. for not until then
will the circulation of the blood be as
6Aee as it should be.
Nn further explanation he says that
the pillow and the bolster keep the
head and neck at an abnormal angle,
and that consequently the sleeper's en-
tire body remains during the night in
IN uncomfortable position, and one
which impedes the free course of the
blood through the vessels and organs.
The only remedy, he maintains, is to
adopt horizontal position, since by it
alone is absolute rest guaranteed, and
this rest is due to the fact that in such
n position the ligaments of the neck
are not strained or distorted, the lungs
easily perform their proper work and
the heart beats regularly.

Grace Darling's Tomb.

as stormy history as the heroine over
whom it was erected. 1t is sixty years
since Grace Darlin died, and q hand
some monument was placed to her
memory in the churchyard Of Bambor-
ough, ON the wild Northumbrian coast.
The grave and monument are plainly
to be seen from passing ships. After a
few years the effigy, which represented
the heroine lying down with an oar on
her arm, looking towards the island
where she achieved fame, began to de-
cay, and was removed to the interior
of the church. Not long after this was
done, the roof Of the transept fell in
sspcn it, and great storm laid the
tomb outside in ruins. For two years
1t remained mass of wreckage, but is
how restored, and new effigy placed.

Planting For Autumn Color Effects.

flanLinE TOT autumn COlOT bhtCtss
Besides the trees so familiar to all,
such as oaks, naples, sumac, etc.,
might be mentioned a few others
which, though less common, are none
the less deserving. The tupelo (Nyssa
multifora) a comparative rare native
species, takes on deep crimson early
in the autumn, and while the foliage
adheres it is one of the best. The sas.
safras (Sassafras officinale), seldom
seen except in its native haunts, is
well worthy of being more generally
planted for it's brilliant coloring.
The hardy shrubs present some very
fine and well marked effects. Vibur-
mum tomentosum, often incorrectly
called plicatum, may well be cited as
an example. In the spring its pure
white flowers borne in graceful pani-
cles, make it one of the best. The
fruit, at first red, but later changing
to a blackish color, renders the effect
quite striking; while as autumn ap-
proaches and the fruit falls, the fol.
iage takes on a purplish tinge and adj
heres tenaciously. 1t is valuable both
for single specimens and for grouping.

rections For Spraying Orchards.


AS result of much experimentation
In Maryland orchards Professor A. L.
Quaintance, State entomologist, in.
forms us that the lime, sulphur and
salt mixture referred to as the Califor.
mia wash, has been very successfully
used during the past year. Through
the efforts of American Agriculturist
many leading fruit growers in various
parts of the country used this wash
early last spring, and the results have
been very satisfactory in all cases.
In some places it has been shown that
the final value Of this wash is not ap.
parent early in the spring, but shows
itself later in the summer. In addl.
ton to its effect on the scale the ma
terial remains on the trees in sufficient
percentage of the young insects devel'
oping from individuals which were
not destroyed by the treatment. This
most effective time for applying the
material is in spring, just before the
buds begin to swell. In some large
orchards where the work cannot be
conveniently crowded into few days
some spraying can be done this fall
and winter. While it is not always de-
sirable to do the work in winter, there
is no reason why 1t cannot be done to
advantage at any time after the trees
are dormant and the weather favor
able for its application.

Training Cucumbers in Greenhouses.

Training Cucumbers in Greenhouses.
A novel way of training cucumbers
is being adopted by well-known fruit
company of Eastern Massachusetts.
Instead of setting up V-shaped frames
to run lengthwise of the house be-
tween each two rows Of vines, the lat
ter are planted in rows ten to twelve
feet apart, running crosswise of the
house. Light wire netting of six by
eight inch mesh is set up horizontally
over each row, and at height of from
three to five feet, depending on the
height of the house and bed, are run
wires six inches apart lengthwise of
the house. Vines are trained up the
wire netting, and then all one way on
hese horizontal wires.
This method allows Of better circu-
lation of air through the house, and
of greater ease and facility in water
Ing as well as in picking the 'cukes."
In the long houses now in use it is a
considerable item to carry the cucum-
bers out from the ends. By this sys-
TEN as soon as basket is filed it can
be passed out of a side window and
picked up with wagon. Not as many
vines can be set in a house where this
method is pursued, but the indications
are that they will be more fruitful,
will produce n larger percentage of
first quality OF "cukes," and that the
average yield per house will be full as
great, if not greater, than by the old
plan of training.
