Dry Chocolate Ice Cream.

Whip the white of l egg until dry,
and add gradually one-third cup of
powdered sugar. Take a cup of dou-
Bile cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla
or other extract, and beat thoroughly
until the cream is thick throughout.
Fold the white of egg and cream to-
gether, chill, and pour into the mold.
which should previously have been
chilled and lined with chocolate ice
cream. The outer lining needs to be
spread about an inch thick. After
pouring in the filling, cover with the
ice cream, filling the mold as full as
possible; spread a piece of white
wrapping paper over the top, press
the cover down on top securely, and
pack the whole away in salt and ice.

Goat Meat and Kid Meat.

A circular of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture says: While
it is generally agreed among those
who speak from experience that the
kids of all breeds of goats are a deli
cacy, it is true that among the great
mass of the people of this country
there is a prejudice against anything
bearing the name of goat" Within
the environments of all of the larger
cities are found many kids, and it is
evident that only a few of them grow
to maturity. What becomes of them?
Butchers and meat dealers answer
the question by saying that they pass
over their blocks as lamb" No meat
dealer has heard of a complaint of the
quality of such lamb A consider
able number of mature common goats
are purchased by the packing houses
of the larger cities. They are pur-
chased as goats and sold, either in
the carcass Or canned, as mutton; and
many who decry goat meat have un-
consciously eaten it many times no
doubt. This does not mean that the
meat is as palatable as good mutton,
but it may be as good as poor mutton,
and so the consumers criticism con-
Germs the quality and not the kind.
Inc u6Sn Vi any uldIuT0 COAuOA goat
is not palatable to most persons who
have tasted it. This is due to the
strong taste, and, to some extent, to
its toughness. Proper care in dress
ing would probably mitigate if not en-
tirely prevent the strong taste, and
feeding on grain would tend to pro-
duce a more tender carcass. Both
these points, however, will hardly re-
ceive attention from anyone who may
contemplate going into the industry,
for the reason that they will add ma
terially to the cost of production. The
excellent quality of the kid meat has
already been mentioned. 1t is safe
to say that the existing prejudice
against it would disappear if people
were to test it, and in time good
market ought to be built up for all
that can be produced. However, the
question arises, Will it pay to raise
common goats for the sale of kids?
The farmer will have to determine
this matter for himself. If a ready
market were established for the kids
at, say, $3.50 each, and If one doe can
raise three or four kids annually, it
can hardly be doubted that the indus
try could be made profitable. At this
time no such market exists

Rules for Arranaino Flowers.

In arranging flowers for the table
there are a few rules to follow:
Group them loosely with plenty of
delicate green leaves as ground
work and above all things have some
regard for color in arrangement. Do
not place together all sorts and con-
ditions of blossoms. Simple, unpre-
tentious jars are the most suitable as
flower holders. Clear glass jars that
show the stems to perfection are ap-
propriate for wild roses. A flower
centerpiece on a dining table should
be kept so low that it will not inter
fe-e with the view across the table

The household which has cherished
grandmother's old pinking iron may
now bring forth the treasure and put
it to good use. For all the <ruchings
employed SO largely this season a
pinked edge is most effective, and the

Heredity and Variation.

The law of heredity is the most I'M
portant one in the breeding of live
stock, for by it the characteristics
that we wish to put into the animals
can be to certain extent fixed. But
there is another law that is secondary
only to heredity and that is the law
of variation. Were it not for this
law improvement would be impossible,
as the offspring would be always the
exact reproduction of the parent. The
tendency to vary is confined within
certain limits, and it is found in both
wild and domesticated animals. The
more highly developed of our domes-
ucated animals show it more than the
WlId ones, for the reason that their
types are of more recent creation. In
the case of the wild animals thousands
OF generations have helped to fix GER
tain characteristics. Even the wild
animals are not precisely alike in all
respects, else they would not be able
to recognize each other, which it is
evident they do. In our own fiocks
and herds, it is easy enough to recog-
n1ze the different animals. ALI this
goes to show that the law of variation
Is forever at work helping to create
new animals and new plants. Nature
is thus evolutionary. This tendency to
vary is inherited just as is any other
quality. This has been one of the two
great instruments in the hands of the
animal and plant improver. The
breeders have a double task-that of
making the law of heredity more effec-
tive SO far as the good points of ami
mails and plants are concerned and OF
making the law imperative so far as
the undesirable qualities are con-
cerned. The variation desired is to
have the animal transmit his desir-
able points and not his undesirable
ones. Progressive variation is what
we are after in the improvements of
poultry as in the case of the handling
OF other living things. In this we are
seconded by nature. When a breeder
of poultry wants to improve his flock
he selects those birds that show a
tendency to vary, because he is not
satisfied with the type he has. What
are the chief factors in directing this
variation upward rather than down.
ward? In the main, good feed and
favorable surroundings. This should
not be forgotten in attempting to i'm
prove any lot of. fowls. If they are
being developed for egg production,
they should have an abundance of egg
forming material, and prevented from
getting fat. The law of variation
should then produce in the flock so
kept now and then a phenomenal egg
producer. This would be q variation
from the usual, and this quality would
have to be used as the basis for the
operation of the law of heredity.

Feeding Corn to Poultry.

Corn has been the main feed
have used ever since I have been in
the poultry business for twenty years
and past, though l don't feed corn
only, but at least once day. 1 think
great many make a mistake feeding
hot feed in the mornings and corn at
night 1 have tested this and find
have better success to feed corn in
the morning and hot feed at night
This gives the fowls a chance for
plenty of exercise and gives good
digestion where it would not if fed at
night, as they would have no exer-
else, and that causes indigestion.
Some think feeding corn is the fault
of egg producing on account of hens
getting too fat from eating corn.
think breeders should watch carefully
the hens that lay and find out the num-
Der of eggs they each lay before be-
ginning to set, as some hens only lay
eight or ten eggs before wanting to
sit. These eggs shouldn't be set. for
the pullets would most likely follow
laying the same number and then be
ready to sit. But set the hens eggs
that lays the largest number Of eggs
before wanting to sit. This will in
crease their laying strata, and you
crease in the number of eggs.
don't think best to feed corn too
much, but 1 do think and know it to
be great benefit to laying hens, as
they naturally lose flesh while laying
I also think it a great benefit to
parch corn two and three times a
week, and feed while hot through cold
weather.
Some believe corn causes disease
more, than other kinds Of grain.
think they are surely mistaken in
this, as corn is not blighted in the
fields as oats and other small grains
are. Fly puts disease in oats and
other grain that causes fowls to grow
thin and poor in flesh, nothing to
stimulate and build flesh on, and
causes disease. For hot feed 1 gen
orally use chop feed wet with hot
water just enough to wet it through,
not to be sloppy. c. II. Andrews,

Curling Ostrich Tips

To curl ostrich tips dip the feathers
in water in which a little borax has
been dissolved. Then curl in the
usual amateur fashion; that is, by
stretching three or four strands of the
plumage at a time over the blade of
a dull knife until dry. This gives a
fine and lasting curl.

Rye for Dairy Cows.

When rye is to be used for feeding
cows in the spring it should be sown in
the latter part of August or in the
early part of September. So sown it
will get well started and cover the
ground well before winter comes on.
If it grows too well, it is easy enough
to reduce it's thrift by turning in the
, calves, sheep or cows for few weeks
in the fall. This pasturing should not
be continued long enough to reduce
the covering to point where the
roots will be injured later by the
seventies of winter In the sowing
of the seed about three bushels should
be used per acre, as this gives finer
stemmed rye than the ordinary amount
of seed and this fineness makes it
more agreeable to the COWS. The use
of the rye crop is found in the early
spring before the pasture grasses have
had time to develop. When the grass
comes on the cows will abandon the
rye for the grass, the taste of which
they prefer to that of the rye.
