NEW WAYS OF SERVING
CHICKEN

An Improvement on old-fashioned
chicken pie, which was always rath-
er insipid dish, is chicken pudding.
Cut up two chickens, if good sized
pudding is wanted, and fry them in a
very hot saucepan with chopped salt
pork and few slices Of onion. The
frying is merely to seal the outside,
and five minutes is ample time to al
low for this. Fill me saucepan half
full of boiling water, season with salt
and pepper, and stew the chicken I'M
til it is quite tender. Remove from
the liquor and place in baking dish.
Make batter with flour. milk, table
spoonful of butter and three eggs,
whites and yolls beaten separately.
Pour this over the oa1cken and bake.
Boil down the liquor in which the
chicken is stewed, thicken with a
roux of -four and butter and serve in
a sauceboat with the pudding.
Chicken cooked after the following
receipt closely resembles prairie
chicken. Large fowls are slowly
steamed until tender. In deep skill
let place a heaping tablespoonful OF
butter, several slices of bacon, half
a dozen peppercorns and half dozen
whole cloves. Roll the pieces OF
chicken in sailed -four and fry until
brown. At the last moment add a
cupful of cream, allow it to heat, and
serve at once.-Indianapolis News.

HOW TO DRESS CALVES.

In order to secure good prices for
calves, as well as any other product
of the farm, there is a great deal In
knowing just how to put them on the
market. The Chicago Trade Bulletin
gives some very good advice in re-
gard to dressing calves for market,
in which 1t says that calves from
three to six weeks old, and weighing
about 100 pounds, or say from 80 to
100 pounds, are the most desirable
weights for shipment The head
should be cut out, so as to leave the
hide Of the head on the skin. The
legs should be cut of at the knee joint.
The entrails should all be removed,
excepting the kidneys; the liver,
lights and heart should be taken out.
Cut the carcass oper from the neck
through the entire length-from head
Of tae bumgut. If this is done rney are
not so apt to sour and spoil during
hot weather. Many fine carcass has
spoiled In hot weather because of
Its not being cut open. Don't wash
the carcass out with water, but wipe
out with a dry cloth. Don't ship I'M
til the animal heat is entirely out Of
the body, and never tie the carcass
up In bag, as this keeps the air from
circulating and makes the meat more
liable to become tainted. Mark for
shipment by fastening shipping tag
to the hind leg. Calves under fifty
pounds should not be shipped. and are
liable to be condemned by the health
officers as being unfit for food. Mer-
chants, too. are liable to be fined If
found selling these slunks. for viola
don of the law. Heavy calves, such
as have been fed on buttermilk, never
sell very well in the Chicago market.

HENS OR BRooDERs.

To raise chicks in brooders one
must be in constant attendance on
the work. II is true that the hen
needs no watching when she raises
only few; but when one wishes hun
dreds, it means work. Sitting hens
sometimes may be fooled into taking
chicks If they are first slipped under
them at night. A capon will natur-
ally take the chicks if he is confined
In room with a lot, and capon over
six months old will answer. All ca
pons are not alike, however, and
some OF them may not be as willing
as others. But there is point in
the way. A hen cannot raise chicks
in winter unless she is given as much
attention as a brooder. because she
cannot keep the chicks warm enoSsh

THE SLENDER WAIST AGAIN.

Every possible means are resorted
to nowadays to make the waist line
looA slender, and this without any
uAdus lacing or pinching either. That
the rev gown accentuates this slen
der aud rounded waist need not cause
any alarm among those who make a
fetish of health fads. Its achieve
ment is a matter of appearance rath-
err than of reality and the belt tape
will be found TO measure quite as
many inches as in the early days OF
the blouses and straight front cor
sets. The broad and built out should
er is primarily responsible for this,
and very dainty indeed is the effect
it produces. OF course. it is an effect
that must be managed with discrimi-
nation or the results will not be those
Sought for. With the broader women

new sleeves are designed with this
object in view.-Newark Advertiser.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
Aside from some hesitation at the
South, owing to the recent fall in the
price of cotton, business conditions are
favorable and optimistic sentiments are
evidenced by extensive preparations for
active trade. AS annual reports appear,
it is found that the closing months OF
1904 made much better exhibit than
the first half, which starts the New
Year with smaller stocks of goods in the
hands of dealers, assuring liberal con-
tracts in the near future for replenishing
supplies. A few minor labor controver.
sizes have arisen, but the Fall River mills
are more active and in most branches Of
manufacture there is steady decrease
in the proportion of idle machinery, one

they were, regardless of quality. as
indispensable as chairs and tables,
and there Is survival OF this feeling
in people of former generation who
cannot reconcile themselves to pic

is that a picture must be distinctly
worth while to justify it's presence
Objects aiming Solely at beauty that
do not beautify are not admissible.
There is also, / am glad to say,
growing realization that ornament in
a mouse belongs to the architects do

mental features of house must be
supplied in the building-in mantel-
pieces, windows, cornices, light Tx
lures, woodwork, etc. The result Is
that our homes are much more rest
full to the eye than in the days when
ornaments and bric-a-brac were con-
sidered essential. Not to speak OF the
labor of busting, the eye is wearied
and the effect of the room as whole
is destroyed by multiplicity of small
objects. A safe rule for home-

add nothing for ornament alone

PINE SAWDUST AS MANURE.
C. v. Champlin. The Dalles, Ore.
asks if some one of the writer's of the
Tribune Farmer will please tell him if
fine sawdust from the sawmill Is in.
furious to the ground or crops that
are raised on the ground when used
as bedding for horses ana cows? The
sawdust has lain out in the weather
for the last two mon tbs. The reply
years that we have used sawdust lib
orally for bedding we have used many
tons of pine sawdust, and never with
anything but the best results. Hard
wood sawdust is preferred, however,
for two reasons-frst, wnen decom.
posed it will furnish more fertilizing
material in the soil. and, second, it
being usually finer, absorbs liquid to
better advantage and will become In
corporated with the soil sooner. Still,
we never hesitate to use sawdusr
from any wood. The pine sawdust
which Mr.. Champlin speaks of is in
admirable condition for use. During
| the two months it has lain in a pile
it has undoubtedly heated and dried
out. and by this process the decay OF
the fibre of the wood has been begun.
| it will thus act more readily as an
absorbent and will the sooner decay
in the SOIL,
If Mr.. Champlin will use the saw
dust first under his horses, then put
the mixed horse manure and sawdust
in the trench behind his cows, in ad-
dition to what he may use to keep his
cows clean, he will save practically
all of the liquid and will have no loss
from fire fanging. If it Is not con-
venient for him to mix the manure
from the horse and COW stables he
can prevent injurious fire fanging OF
the horse manure by keeping the
heaps leveled and tramped, or mois-
tened with water. The exclusion OF
the air is what prevents the heating
in either method. We very much pre-
| fer tramping to wetting, however, as
it accomplishes the same result, and
does not add to the weight of the
manure.-G. Walker McKeen, Frye
