Roast Turkey

The turkey should be dressed the
day before. Rub fine salt inside and
over every part of the outside; hang
in a cool place over night. In the
morning make dressing OF bread
crumbs, moistened and seasoned with
salt, pepper and generous lump or
butter. Fill the . turkey with the
dressing. Tie the legs down, place the
wings fiat against the body. Make
paste of butter and flour and spread
smoothly all over the turkey. Place
in a dripping pan with Stats to hold
it out of the water in the bottom OF
the pan. Bake in a moderate oven
until tender, basting a very little at
a time but quite often. A covered
pan is very convenient for roasting
meats of any kind, as it retains the
steam and basting is not necessary.
Brown Gravy
To the drippings from the turkey
add sufficient water to make the de-
sired amount of gravy. Set upon the
stove and add a heaping tablespoon
ful of flour rubbed into lump of but
ter the size of an egg; salt to taste.
Stir and boil five minutes.
Cranberry Sauce
Wash a quart of cranberries, put
into a preserving kettle with water
enough to cover and stew until the
berries break Then strain through
a colander; return to the kettle, add
pound and a half of sugar and stir
until it boils. Turn out and cool.

where soda is used double the amount
of cream of tartar, also where you
wish to substitute baking powder take
just the quantity of soda and cream
of tartar combined Cake should al
ways be beaten-not stirred-in this
way the air is driven out of the bat
ter. In winter it is best to beat with
the hand. In summer it is best to
use a broad, short-handled wooden
spoon.
Always bake tester in a small pan
first to see if your dough is right If
your cake is too solid put in a few
teaspoonfuls of milk. If too soft it
will fall in the middle and be spongy
CT crumbly; add a little flour to your
batter. To one quart of flour use
two and a half teaspoonfuls of soda
and two teaspoonfuls cream of tartar.
In measuring flour a cupful means
a cup level full. When you use mo-
lasSes in a cake it should always be
baked in a moderate oven, never in
a very hot one. Always have every
thing ready before beginning to make
your cake. To try your cake use a
broom splint. Cover the bottoms of
your cake pans with plain white or
manila paper. Always beat your eggs
in an earthen vessel, never in tin.
Add a small pinch of salt, as this
makes them come to a frOth quicker.
Do not try to ecOnomiZe in material
in cake making, as cake is often
spoiled by some petty economy. Keep
your cakes in the cellar in a tin box
if possible, as this keeps them from
drying out. While baking do not
open the oven doors only on crack,
as the cold air passing over it causes
the cake to fall Keep the oven
closed for at least ten minutes after
putting the cake in.
Practice and experience will be
your best guide. So much depends
upon the state of the fire that it is
impossible to lay down infallible
rules. Gingerbread should always be
baked with very moderate fire, as
it is so apt to scorch.
In making cookies take out only
part of the dough on to the board at
a time. 1t is easier to manage it in
this way. Remember, too, they must
be gotten into the pan as soft as pos
sible Only experience can give the
dextrous handling needed for them.
Always fix your fire before you begin
mixing your cookies. When you want
to put sugar and spice on them Law
it on the board and roll your dough
over it.
Never try to ice a cake hot, and let
the layers get nearly cold before put
ting them together A kettle on pur-
pose for doughnuts can be kept and
the lard used if it is kept well COW
cred. Large-sized bowls can be had.
which are the best vessels to mix
cakes in.
Red sugar can be bought at anv
confectioners All lard to fry fritters
and doughnuts in must be Uery, Uery
hot before dropping them in. Ir
using almond essence be careful to use
only four or five drops, as it is verv
poisonous. Other essences are not so
strong For vanilla or lemon use a
teaspoonful, rose water one gill. Pour
on a small quantity of icing, spread
it over the cake with broad knife.
dip the knife frequently in hot water
to KEEP it from sticking. A cake pan
with a removable bottom is a great
boon to housekeepers, as it takes
great deal of experience to be abb
to turn a cake out of the pan without
injuring it, The tin bottom may be

About Cakes
Always select the best material for
cakes Your pans for baking it must
be free from all odors and should
never be used for any other purpose
whatever, and are best kept away
from the other cooking utensils to in
sure this Ii there is too much salt
in the butter it should be freshened
by working it we'll in cold water. In
warm weather place the eggs in cold
water for an hour before using, as
warm egg does not froth well. Beat
the eggs with fork or wire spoon.
Always use lard to grease your cake
pans, as the salt in the butter causes
is to stick to the pans. If possible
procure pan made with a double
bottom, one bottom attached to the
stem; then by loosening the sides the
rest of the cake may be readily taken

MILLION DOLLAR HAMAKUA
DITCH WILL Be Bull I
Three Plantations VIII Use Thirty Million Gallons
OF Water---Mr. Politz on the Sugar Stu
alton and War on the Trust.

Negotiations have been practically
completed for the construction of a
million dollsr ditch by the Kohala
Ditch co. to supply water to three Ha-
makua plantations Kukaiau. Honokaa
and Paauhau. The final papers await
the completion of negotiations by the
Paauhau Plantation Co. which must
first secure extension of leases or pur-
chase certain lands to be watered from
the ditch. Edward Pollitz who is here
in the interest of the company hopes
to close the deal in time TO return to
San Francisco on the Alameda We'd
nesday morning.
Mr.. POLITE has been in the islands
for nearly month as the representa-
tive. of San Francisco stockholders in
number of plantations and has COM
pleted his work with the exception of
the extension OF the Paauhau leases.
He is much pleased with the sugar
situation in the islands and ventures
the prediction that the 1s04-5 crop of
sugar will be marketed at four cents.
He is also much interested in the re-
port of the combination of sugar agen-
cies to get relief from the oppression
OF. the sugar trust, and predicts a.
bright future for the islands. While
here Mr.. PoIIitz discussed with Man
ager n. P. Baldwin of the Hawaiian

estates against dry seasons. The di-

THE DEMOCRAT CASE
The Latest Phase of It Heard in Dis
 trict Court Yesterday.

The session of the district court yes terday morning was principally con stunned in the trial of the case of the Arizona Democrat Publishing com pany against Sam Webb Jr and others. The attorneys for the chief defendant were the real defendants in this some what complicated case. Webb had or igir2lly brought suit against CC.onel J.. F. Wilson for salary and money ad- vaRced while acting as the business manager of the Democrat. He was giv- CT judgment which with the costs amounted to S75705. The costs were S205.S5. In the meantime w. C. Dawes brought suit in Justice Burnett's court against Webb for S1S6.25 on account and he garnisheed w. T. Smith and Flu gene Brady O'Ncin, the sureties of Colonel Wilson. The first judgment had been paid to the sheriff, but before the payment by him into the court, garn- ishment proceedings were begun and the money was tied up in the hands of the sheriff. The garnishees said that they were willing to pay Dawes or to pay anybody so they could get the mat ter off their minds, but they did not want to further relieve their minds to the extent of paying any part of the judgment twice.
 The sheriff later satisfied the claim of Dawes, which with the costs amounted to S219.S5, leaving the sum of $331.35 to be turned in of the original judgment. The attorneys for Webb had established a lien on the judgment and they object ed to the return made by the sheriff, showing that he had only S33l.3 B left. Messrs. Smith and O'Neill were expect ed to pay the balance of the original judgment.
 A motion was interpOsed sn the part of the sureties to prevent any further annoyance Of them. This motion was dismissed and the merits of the matter were gone into. The case is now under advisement.
 The case of the Phoenix Water company against the common council of the city of Phoenix to restrain the de- fendants from issuing bonds for the construction of a city plant under the late election, came up. The application for the temporary writ was withdrawn and the hearing of the demurrer and motion was set for June I. In the di- vorce suit of Lena Baird against Ell ward Baird, the defendant had neglect ed to pay into court S30 which he had been ordered to pay on Monday. He asked for further time. saying he could make the payment sometime yesterday The extXension of time was granted.
 The case of J. M. Bailey against J, M. Langstcn yves dismissed on the mot on of the defendant, the plaintiff consent ing. The divorce suit of T. J. Brown against Rosa Brown was dismissed fer want of prosecution and the trial pro- cppded On the crOSS COmDlaint of the defendant. She was granted a decree.
