Christmas Delicacies

little individual dishes instead Of one large
pie. or they may be made with a latticed
upper crust In the latter case It Is a
popular idea to pour little brandy over
the pie just before 1t is brought in and
light the same as plum pudding.
The Christmas Plum Pudding-Put into q
big bowl one cupful each, finely chopped
suet. seeded raisins, cleaned curranta and
graduated sugar, three cupfuls soft bread
crumbs and one cup each of shredded citron
and orange peel. Add four eggs one by one,
each being mixed thoroughly with the other
ingredients before to next is added. Follow
with one-hah teaspoonful cinnamon, one tea
spoonful mixed nutmeg. Glove and allspics
and the grated yellow rind of one lemon.
Mix thoroughly, using the hands, then
fill into large buttered mould. leaving
but little room for 1t to swell Tie a
thickly creased and Toured cloth or a piece
of oiled paper over the top and fit on the
cover tight. Put into a steamer or arrange
cords so that It may be suspended from
the inside of the cover of the kettle in
which It is belted. The boiling water should
reach almost to the top of the bowl. Boil
seven hours steadily, taking care that no
water boils into the pudding, and that the
water is boiling when the pudding goes in.
On Christmas day the pudding can be
reheated in the mould in which 1t was
made. When sending to the table. stick
sprig Of holly on the top, put a border OF
blanched split almonds around the edge
and pour over the pudding a quarter cup
full OF brandy or rum. to be set on the fire
just as this dessert is brought into the din
ming room. Ea
This pudding should be made several
weeks before Christmas because It will be
far more delicious than II made just in
time for the dinner.

Miss Muriel Rice, whose verse has won
for her international reputation, is the
daughter OF DR.. Isaac L. Rice. the founder
and editor OF the Forum. He originated
the Rice gambit, which is said to rival
the Ruy Lopez opening as an achievement
in the history of chess. Many years ago
he wrote a successful work on music, and
has contributed a number OF articles to
the North American Review and other
magazines.
DR.. Rice was born In Wachenheim, Ba-
varia and educated at the Central High
school OF Philadelphia. He graduted from
the Columbia Law school, where he was
afterwards a lecturer In that capacity he
also served the School OF Political Science
He left teaching to take up railroad law,
and Is today financier and a captain Of
industry.
His wife is Mrs. Julia Heneman Burnett
Rice, who is actively interested in public
affairs, and who is best known through
her efforts for the suppression of unneces-
sary noises. The country is indebted to
her for innaugurating the movement for
the celebration of a sane and safe Fourth
OF July. They have six children, one Of
whom is a painter whose work has been
praised for power and originality.
The poetry of Muriel Rice-a volume Of
which makes its appearance from the press
of Mitchell Kennerley-has already won
for her a reputation in Europe her verses
having been translated into German by the
noted poet and critic, DR.. Theodore Les

Land Wasted

j. b. Koontz, general freight agent of the
Santa Fe, recently estimated that within
one and one-half miles on each side of the
Santa Fe main line, between Newton and
Dodge City, Kan, there are Is 900 acres of
wheat land covered with straw stacks
land wasted. The estimate is based upon
an actual count of the straw stacks along
the track.
The stacks when the threshing is done
are on an average 1875 by $50 feet, or 1870
square feet per stack After a stack has
been paved over all winter by cattle Il
really occupies more space than IL shown
by the estimate. This ground is regarded
as little less than waste Straw contains
no nutriment to speak of, and about the
only value in straw stack is in the shell
ter it affords to stock.
Mr.. Koontz figures that IL the ground
occupied by straw stacks was sown 10
wheat every year, the yield, on a fifteen
bushel average would be $4,000 bushels.
At 80 cents a bushel the crop from the
straw stack area alone would bring $780,
500. This sum, Mr. Koontz says. is lost an
nually by the farmers in the limited terri
tory in which the estimate Is made. The
loss in the entire state, according to his
reasonings, runs up into the millions.
The reason given by farmers for leaving
the stacks in the field is that they are
troublesome TO burn, The interior of a
stack usually is damp, and when set on
ire it shoulders for week. Many farm
ers don't care TO bother with them. Only
about one farmer in five burns his straw
stacks. Some farmers use straw for fer
tilizer after it rots, but 1t takes a long
time for a stack to rot sufficiently for this
purpose and even then 1t is not the best
Experiments lately have been made IN
the preparation OF straw for fuel, by
pressing it into blocks. These experiments
have shown encouraging results, and II II
likely that they will be successful In thai
case. new market would be created fol
farmers which would enable them to DIS
pose of their straw at a fair price, and
