chemist would tell you 1t contains so
much proteid, phosphoric acid and
iron. But let us go into the question
deeper and you will see that an egg
contains in concentrated form every
thing that is required to develop a
chicken, and it can be cooked in so
many ways that it is palatable as we'll
as digestible. That is why eggs are
chief among the foods allowed an
invalid. Though chemists have tried
for a hundred years to discover it,
nothing in science or in all our wide
variety of foods can be transformed
into a substitute for eggs. OF course
one could, if necessary, cook without
them, only it would mean going with
out score of dishes we think of as
everyday necessities, such as custards,
cake, buildings, griddle cakes, to say
nothing Of the abundant use Of what
we might call purely egg dishes.

A Berry Patch in Whatcom County
(By J. H. Kirkpatrick.)

10y al. II. H1IhpdCTlCh.J
A number of inquiries have come
to me about starting in the berry
business. Perhaps I can answer them
all at once through The Ranch. The
ground should be plowed in the fall,
so the soil will be in good condition
to work early and in order that the
plants may get a good start before
dry weather. Don't put out too many
at first-a half acre or an acre at the
most. Then put out another bed next
spring.
Never plant in the fall. April is the
best month to set the plants. If you
leave me to select the varieties
would say plant half Marshal and half
Clark's Seeding, planting about two
rows Of one variety and then two of
the other. Don't send any farther for
your plants than you have to. l pre-
fer to use plants grown on the Sound
if possible.
Two crops will be all you can get
from one planting. The ground gets
so foul it is almost impossible to
clean them a third season. You gain
nothing by planting in the fall, but
you are quite sure to lose your work
and plants, too. I put 1000 out last
fall at cost of about $12. l am out
my money and work and not a single
plant left of the 1900.
Give good, thorough cultivation all
summer and keep the runners cut off.
| wish The Ranch could learn
just what effect the recent cold
wave has had on the berry fields. In
my field the tops were all frozen back

How to Make Fondant.

Two cupfuls granulated sugar, one
half cupful of water, and pinch OF
cream of tartar the size of a coffee
grain. Place over the fire and stir
until the sugar is Melted after that
wipe the edges of the pan carefully
and do not stir at all, and If neces-
sary to move do so very carefully.
When the syrup will form into soft
ball when dropped into cold water,
remove from the fire and let cool until
barely lukewarm, then stir until
creamy. A wooden paddle or spoon
is best suited for this work. With
this foundation many different kinds
of bonbons may be made by varying
the f1avoring and coloring. Coffee
fondant and maple fondant may be
made by substituting strong coffee
and maple syrup. respectively, for the
water in the plain fondant.

Salt Rising Bread,

A farmers wife writes on the above
subject as follows: 81 will give my
way of making salt rising bread
Take one-third pint new milk, warm.
Don't boil so it will cook the meal.
Put one teaspoonful baking powder in
the milk; stir in new meal enough to
make batter, not too stiff. Heat two
or three sad irons hot enough so they
will not scorch; put comfort on table;
put towel around tin of much; but
irons around it; cover over with com
fort, so it will keep warm enough to
rise. Set over night. In morning pour
in little warm water; stir down and
let rise again. Then take one pint
warm water, one teaspoonful soda.
When the meal is light put in the
water. I use half-gallon tin. Stir in
flour enough to make stiff batter. Set
in warm water; let rise. Be sure you
always have good fresh meal. I think
that has a great deal to do with the
luck. Meal is awful easy to must,
especially in warm weather. When
your yeast rises to run over top Of
tin take one pint warm water, tea
spoonful soda and salt. pour yeast in
-four work into a stiff dough; work
until nice and smooth; make in
loaves; put in warm place to rise
light. Take out pans and work again.
Let rise. Do not let dough get too
light Bake in moderate oven one
hour. I have often raised my bread
twice and had it baked against 8
o'clock"

The Association.

If you are going to have fruits OF
any kind to sell you will find it great
~ to your advantage to join our fruit
growers association. We expect to
rent a room and have a man in the
city of Bellingham to sell or ship
the fruit. 1t is our purpose as
soon as we get in good running order
to handle other farm products. The
shares of the Whatcom County Fruit
Growers Association are only five dol
lars-one dollar down. We want every
farmer and fruit-grower in the county
to help us, and we can be OF help to
you very soon.

HOUSEHOLD
Chocelate Creams

Are best made of vanilla, orange,
coffee, maple or peppermint fondant.
The chocolate is prepared by melting
together, in a double boiler, sweet
chocolate and lard in the proportions
of one teaspoonful of melted lard to
one section of chocolate. Strawberry,
pineapple and nectar are other fiavors
much in demand in candy making.

MAKING BralineS.

Put one pound of nuts into pan
over the fire with one-fourth cupful
one-fourth Of a cupful of vinegar and
vinegar and water mixed and two cup
fuls brown sugar. Let boil until nuts
begin to bob about; remove the pan
from the fire, and with spoon stir
we'll until the sugar begins to feel
gritty. Put the mixture over slow
fire again in order to dissolve the
sugar, and keep on stirring until the
nuts look reddish. Pour them into a
sieve, cover the sieve with a cloth
and place it in the oven. This dries
the sugar and causes the nuts to look
glossy.

Here's a simple way of opening a
fruit jar. Instead of turning it up
side down in boiling water, stand it
in a dish. Pour boiling water on top
of it; let it remain for few moments
and the top will unscrew very readily
Aside from the ease with which this
can be done, there is another reason
why this is the better way. No mat
ter how careful you are in putting up
fruit, there will always be little
mold formed on Top of the fruit. In
turning the jar upside down you are
very apt to get this mixed with the
clear part Of the fruit, but no mixing
can occur when you use the method
described above.

1t Is evident that there will be no diff
ficulty In determining that the large
fireless cooker of capacity for prepar-
ing food for an entire company and
made in New York city will be adopted
in the United States military service.
says the New York Tribune's Washing
ton correspondent. The experiments
which have been In progress ut Fort
Riley, Kan, Indicate that there Is
great use In military way for this
fuel saving device. 1t Is found that
meat and vegetables may be placed on
the range for thirty minutes and then
transferred to the freless cooker,
where they are kept for six or seven
hours and cooked In their own heat.
At the end OF that time the material Is
found to have temperature Of 40
degrees for the vegetables. 16O degrees
for the meat and lT2 degrees for the
coffee. 1t Is Mt this time ready to serve
and has been found most palatable.
The army officers who are engaged In
the consideration Of this method OF
preparing food for an army in the field
say that the fireless cooker will solve
the problem OF household economics
especially In the matter OF keeping
down the expenses for the purchase Of
fuel. They say further that the method

In France the people who 60 balloonins

When It rose It almost obscured the

at 1t and always said the one thing.
