years immured in the forests of Onton-

Kellogg, at the age of 81, is spending
few days here with b. F. Hayward,
friend of his childhood. The story
of the old gentleman reads more like
fiction than fact, for until he left the
woods to visit the scenes of his boy
hood, he had never seen a train of
cars, an automobile or other device of
modern civilization.
Mr.. Kellogg was born in the vii
lage of Wells, VT, and at the age OF IL
started west in company with his
father and mother. The journey
to the eastern end of Lake Erie
was made by OK team and stage, and
there passage was engaged on a sail

was nearing Detour passage, when

TRY THESE FOR DESSERT.
Recipes Given In Recent Popular
Book on Cookery.

From "one Hundred Desserts" we
take the following recipes:
Niege.-Peel and core eight large
apples and cook whole in a rich sirup
until soft; remove carefully and ar
range on the dish for serving. Fill
the core cavities with ounce jelly
and cover completely with merin-
que made Of the whites of four eggs
and a half-cupful of powdered sugar,
favored with little lemon juice.
Stick blanched and shredded al-
monds over the meringue; put on the
upper rack in a quick oven and brown
lightly.
Frozen Figs.-Melt four tablespoon
fuls of brown sugar without any
water; pour in quickly a cupful of
boiling water and boil to sirup.
Heat quart of milk; add IA ounces
of sugar, and stir until dissolved, then
pour on the beaten yolks of eight
eggs. Strain the carameled sugar
into this and put into n freezer. Chop
Il pound of figs, soak until soft in a
little brandy, and when the custard is
partly frozen, stir them in and finish
freezing.
A cup of chocolate is much i'm.
proved by dash of cinnB mon, or by
adding third of pint of coffee to
each pint of milk. Very rich chocolate
may be made by pouring quart over
the yolks Of two eggs, beating con
stantly to prevent curdling. Some
prefer a few drops of vanilla either
in the whipped cream or chocolate.

WINTER BARN THOUGHTS.
Have the Comfort Of Live Stock In
Mind and Provide Good Conditions.

Winter is hard time for the stock
of the farm, the best way We can fix
It. When you stop to think that natur-
roaming in the fields. breathing the
pure. fresh air, and then think how
changed are the conditions when they
come to be shut up in tight barns for
such long portion of the year, 1t be-
comes evident that the tendency must
1t stands us in hand to make the con-
ditions Just as nearly like those of
summer as we can. That is, we should
do our best to give the stock good
feed, feed that shall be nourishing.
and at the same time plenty of air
that is free from disease germs.
It must be that a great deal OF the
sickness, such as tuberculosis, comes
from breathing the same air over and
over again in the close stables of our
country.
BY running a board shaft from the
stable, very near to the floor clear up
to the roof, we may take n good deal
Of the impure air out. You know
that air that has been breathed once
becomes heavier than It is at first.
There are loads of impurity in simply
air that has been used in the lungs
of man or beast. This settles toward
the floors. The shaft | have spoken
of will take that air. and there being
more or less of draft through such
a shaft, the foul air will be lifted out,
while pure air will come in from be.
| low.
This pure air ought not to come in
so that the cattle must stand all the
| time in draft. The windows should
be arranged so that they may furnish
air without bringing a draft. Again
these windows ought TO be windows
and not simply board slides. Good
sash windows that are fitted with
hinges to turn up out of the way are
by far the best They let in light
which is the greatest germ destroy
er on the face of the earth.
And then. cattle should be groomed
every day ! know, writes Edgar l.
Vincent, in Farmers Voice, some
folks think this is a waste OF time
You will hear some men argue that
It actually harms cattle to be
scratched with currycomb. II
seems to me that these men do moi
take a very reasonable view OF the
matter, Just look at cattle that are
not thus cared for. The minute they
are out in the yard they begin to rub
and lick and dig themselves against
every fence post or anything else they
can get to. as II their hides were In
perfect misery, as / have no doubt
they are. We ought to save our stoch
from this trouble by giving them q
good currying every day.
With good feed and water, witt
