HOUSEHOLD HINTS

vorite recipes. usually. for q good
manyfavorite ways are handed down
from mother to daughter. but for the
new house keeper. q few general
pointers may be Of benefit.
First of all. there must be scrupu-
Ilous cleanliness in every part Of the
work. The Jars for canning or the
glasses for jelly, must be absolutely
clean and be scalded before the new
fruit is put into them. II canning
fruits, try the jars before filing with
the fruit; II they leak a drop Of wa
ter. they will spoil the fruit. There
is a self sealing jar now on the
market that makes canning very
easy. but most Of us have to use the
old jars that we have as long as they
last and the above precaution of try
ing them beforehand saves boiling
over many a can Of fruit.
In canning tomatoes. avoid long
boiling a this makes the seeds Bit
ter and spoils the 1ne fresh favor Of
the tomato.

We intended to write something
about custards. " they are 80 de-
tlicious when properly made and 30
.disagresable when not we'll made. but
instead Of writing this ourselves, We
found from Aunt Maria In the st.
Paul Pioneer Press Just what we
were going to say and 20 We give it
below for the benefit Of our readers:
The making Of custards.
A custard is one Of the things
which admit Of no guess work. It is
one Of the easiest things to make,
and equally easy to spoil. and the
perfect custard with the average cook
is a. rare as the proverbial hens
teeth.
Its proper baking is OF sven more
importance than it, mixing. It must
be made Of fresh materials and the
oven heat must be moderate.
The cups or dish containing the
custard must be Get In Q shallow pan
half nlled with hot water to insure
perfect results In baking. An oven
that 10 too hot win make the custard
watery; and .. dry heat under the
cust4rd will curdls t..

CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE
Sharp Criticism ot Valley Towns For
 Failure to Plant Trees.

When the editor of the Review re- turned recently from a trip into the Imperial Valley, he made the comment that the people of that valley are neg 1ecting their greatest opportunity in not planting more street shade trees. It would seem that this would be the first thing they would think of in a section of the country where 1t is re- ported to get at least moderately warm in summer, but apparently the people of the valley are so busy mak- ing money that they have not taken time to pay much attention to their own comfort. The editor of the Riv- erside Press is just back from Imperial Valley and he too was struck by the lack of shade trees. Read what be says:
 "One thing the Imperial Valley needs urgently and that is more trees. Even in Imperial, the oldest town in the valley, the streets are practically shadeless; and at Fl Centro hardly single street tree has yet been planted. That is wicked in a country where the sun beats down as pitilessly as it does there and where big trees can be grown in three years. Mir. Charles has inaugurated tree planting move ment at Imperial and the people are taking up the matter with a good deal of enthusiasm. They are five years behind time, however.
 Out on the ranches it is the excep- tion, even on the older places, to find the houses well shaded with trees or frightened with flowers. That is crim- inal again, and an especially heinous crime against the pioneer-women who have to endure all the hardships and isolation of frontier life and who ought to be spared the added discomfort and loneliness that come from living in barren, forbidding, really desolate sur roundings. The home life of the val ley would be happier if more thought were given to shade and flowers, and artistic and comfortable homes as we'll as to making money
 Tt seems good, however, to see so many trees and rose bushes for sale in the nurseries of the various towns; and I hope this means the dawning of better days for the valley. .''-Redlands Review

VALLEY STOCK.
Impressions of Visiting Writer For
 Stockmen's Paper.

MT. Joseph E. Wing, writing for the Breeders Gazette about what he saw in the Imperial Valley. says: "Imper- ial Valley is destined to be of greater importance. to have greater wealth, to produce more than all the rest of California south of Tehachapi pass.
 Yesterday took my first walk afield in the Imperial Valley. One sees at once evidence that he is in a warm climate; the houses are many of them of canvas sides; sometimes there is roof above the house to shut of the sun, with wide air space between 1t and the roof or ceiling be- low. On the verandas. which often surround the little houses, one sees beds. Even in winter men and women sleep out of doors, not all of them, but a good many of them. I stopped at a neat little cottage in the midst of a new clearing where the man had planted eucalyptus and pepper trees in a fine avenue and had alfalfa and grapes and oranges set. The door yard was fine mat of white clover The cows grazing his alfalfa were fat, too fat indeed, it seemed to me. A curious growth came up alnog his ditches and on the roadside; 1t looked like Johnson grass, but was too coarse and in punches too much. l asked the farmer what his strange plant was, and was told that it was Kaffir corn, which does not die in winter in this curious land. It seems nearly as per sistent as Johnson grass; and sor- ghum. they tell me. lives for years. They do not cut the Kaffir corn at all. It seems they but turn the anil nnals fin to eat it.
 Tn the c. M pasture l saw about 75 splendid Percheron mares and their colts. think that have seen good Percherons in my time, but I admit that I have never seen a lot that SC awakened my enthusiasm as this They were grazing alfalfa alone, and the condition of the mares was good they were indeed almost too fat, and the colts were wonderfully fine. large strong. healthy and happy.
 "Mr. Bowker insists that there fl absolutely no disease among either cattle. horses. sheep or swine in thii region. And how easily 1t is irrigated 1t seems as level as floor, but 1T reality there Is fall enough to make
