"Thanksg giving"


One day of each year is set apart
for giving thanks unto the Lord Tor
blessings received from His hand our
ing the year. 1t comes late In the
fall after all the crops have Deen
gathered in and we can see how very
bountiful the harvest has been. Inc
farmers. it seems to me, can see more
reasons for thankfulness than any
other class of people. They live SO
close to nature and gather with their
own hands the grain from the nelos
and fruit from the trees. 1t comes
directly from the storehouse OF Coo
# is true that those who have money
NAV buy. but the wage earners OF the
city and town live up to their income
so closely that they have but httle
to show for their labors and seeming
but little to be thankful for, When
compared with the average FARMER.
The working man of the city must go
down into his purse and see II ne can
snare a sufficient amount to purchase
q turkey for his Thanksgiving dinner,
while the farmer has only to walk
ont into his flock and select the hnest
bird without thinking OF the cost. II
seems that we must have something
ont of the ordinary to eat on Thanks
giving or the day seems to have lost
some of it's charm for old and young
alike Let us then prepare bount1-
ful repast for this Thanksgiving day
and go to the table with thankful
hearts, first that the Lord has pro,
vided so bountifully for the needs OF
our bodies and also that the blessings
Of health attend, so we may enjoy
those things which are given us.

of Washington where rock is not ac-
cessible, we have sold several elevat-
ing road graders, which have been
used to elevate the road bed and cut
ting in good drainage bitches, and
where dirt has been thrown up in this
manner and rolled with heavy roller
it has been found to make a very
satisfactory road, even without the
use of rock.
"These elevating graders are also
being used quite extensively in Wash
ington and other states of the North
west, in building irrigation bitches,
and it has been successfully demon
strated that they will handle dirt at
cost of not to exceed 3 cents per yard,
while it is generally considered it
costs 10 cents per yard to handle it

Roast Turkey

The turkey should be dressed the
day before Rub fine salt inside ana
over every part of the outside; hang
in a cool place over night. In the
morning make a dressing of bread
crumbs, moistened and seasoned with
salt, pepper and a generous lump OF
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
il 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
full 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
a 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 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 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 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 economic in material
in cake making, as a cake is often
spoiled by some petty economy. Keep
your cakes in the cellar in tin box
if possible, as this keeps them from
drying out While baking do not

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 a 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
to put sugar and spice on them lay
it on the board and roll your dough
over it.
Never try to ice 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

dip the knife frequently in hot water

with a removable bottom is great
boon to housekeepers, as it takes a
great deal of experience to be able
to turn a cake out of the pan without
injuring it. The tin bottom may be
left on the cake if desired and used
