cne-sixth the size of Texas and a lit
tie over one-Quarter az large as Cali

The difference between the highest
land in Ohio and the surface of Lake
Erie, in elevation above the sea, is
almost equal to the height of the four
rallest buildings In Cleveland placed
on top Of one another.
In population relative to area Ohio
is about equal to Spain, the average
density being somewhat greater in this
state. Russia, Norway, Sweden and
Turkey have fewer inhabitants in pro-
portion to their extent than Ohio.
No part Of Ohio is farther north
than central Italy. The southern lin

EXCELLENT RICE RECIPES.
1t This Time of Year Rice Il a Wei.
come Addition to the Table
How to Prepare.

The spring months are usually the
most trying ones in the calendar for
the hOusekeeper on farm to provide
change in the daily bill of fare.
Last years vegetables have grown
tasteless and wilted, or are gone en-
tirely; the stock of canned goods In
both fruit and vegetables is nearing
the finish, and it is still too early for
fresh homegrown supplies. 1t will
prove useful in making many whole
some. nutritious dishes. To serve it
as vegetable, it should be boiled
carefully SO that no two grains ad-
here together, and each grain should
be swollen to twice its original size.
It Is better to use the first quality
of rice for this purpose, although the
second grade will do in many other
ways. To obtain these results, wash
the rice thoroughly, and then sprinkle
slowly into a large kettle full Of boil
ing water. The water must not be
chilled, for the rapid boiling should
be continued Immediately. Boil %
minutes, then drain ON a cOlander.
With fork shake it up lightly, ana
place it in the oven to dry. WneH
properly prepared it should be like
mound of snow.
The leftover of plain boiled rice
can be utilized in numerous ways. II
may be made into excellent griddle
cakes. Take one pint of rice, a
tablespoonful of butter, one scant tea
spoonful each of salt and baking pow
der. one egg, one cupful of -four. and
sweet milk to make q batter. Bake on
a griddle. The regular sour milk
recipe can be used if preferred; simply
add the rice and less flour.
Rice Croquettes.-To one teacupful
of butter, beaten egg, seasoning Of
salt and pepper, and mix well togeth-
er. Mold into rolls, or small cakes.
dip into egg, and then into powdered
cracker crumbs and fry in hot butter
or drjppings. A little finely chopped
cold meat is an improvement; II
should be mixed with the rice and
egg before molding.
Rice Muffins.-One pint Of milk, one
pint of rice, two eggs, two table
spoonfuls Of sugar, one tablespoonful
of butter, one teaspoonful each OF
salt and baking powder. Beat the
sguar, salt, yolks of eggs and but
ter together, add the milk and sufi-
cient flour to make thin batter; sift
the rice in lightly, and last the beaten
whites. Bake in rings 30 minutes.
Rice Soup.-Place one-half cupful
of rice in two quarts of water, with
one small onion sliced finely, two
or three sticks of celery, and small
bunch Of summer savory. Boil two
hours, adding more water, if neces-
sary. Strain through colander, re-
turn to the fire and add the beaten
yolks Of two eggs and one pint of rich
milk. Let it come to boil and serve
with toasted crackers.-Rural New
Yorker.
