COOKERY IN PERSIA

You Must Have Your Flour Made and
Buy Sugar In cones--cookins
Ranges Constructed Of sun
Dried Bricks.

Housekeeping In Persia Is a more
difficult undertaking than In western
countries. The chief reasons for this
are the lack of conyeniences. and the
fact that many things which in other
countries can be bought ready for use
must be prepared by the Persian
housekeeper
Do you want -four? You must buy
your wheat. clean and sift II, and send
II to the miller, who lives, perhaps a
days journey from you. You must
send with the wheat the most trusty
servant you have, who will watch the
miller day and night to see that he
does not take too much toll You
ought of course 10 send a second serv.
ant to watch the first, but II you began
that there would be no end to the
number you would have to send.
Do you want sugar? Loaf sugar,
granulated sugar. powdered sugar
you cannot buy them. What you can
buy is a cone of sugar. about ten
inches In diameter and eighteen inches
In height, which comes from Russia or
France. II you want Jumps OF sugar
for your coffee and tea this cone of
sugar must be placed on the solid
floor and by means OF strong knife
and hammer. broken into pieces. II
you want fine sugar these pieces must
be then ground with a mortal and
pestle. II you wish powdered sugar
the fine sugar must be sifted several
times. Even in tho kitchen of Euro.
pean, where e table will be found. the
cutting and pounding of the sugar
must be done on the solid earthen
floor.

row of hollow boxes made of sun dried
bricks In which Is built charcoal fire.

RAISING CALF ON SKIN MILK
Much Of Success Depends Upon Care
OF Little AnImal--Proper Shell
ter ls Essential.
CBy F. A. poARMAN)

(By r. A. BOARMAN)
In case OF the stere calf which will
become a feeder, while he should be
growthy. he should be kept reasona-
bly, fat He is the calf which should
have the corn and should have the
fat-making foods.
He should be reared in Just the OPP
posite direction. as compared with the
heifer calf. 1t will not hurt the steer
calf even to have his drink or skim
milk when he is six or seven months
old, IL there is a surplus but skim
milk cannot be utilized to as good
advantage as in the case OF the heifer.
The best skim milk calves are those
which are born In the fall of the year.
Their young life is spent in a more
favorable season. The milk they get
as rule will be in better condition
than the milk which the spring calf
will get
IL you select dairy blood for your
herd. one of the things which should
attract your attention when you make
your final decision is the vitality of
the breed you select.
This shows up particularly strong
In the calf during the first few months
of his life. Dairy breeds, as you know,
are not all equal in vitality. My ex.
perience In raising calves on skim
milk has been confined principally to
the rearing of Holstein calves.
l want to say In this connection In
our own herd a calf never sucked
Its mother and In this way, after ten
or twelve years of breeding. the suck
Ing instinct was largely bred out of
the calves. These calves were easily
taught to drink
Not all OF the success OF rearing
skim milk calves depends upon the
feed or upon the breed. Very much
indeed depends upon the care of the
calf, and feed without proper shell
ter will avail but little.
The calf must be made comfortable
In warm as well as cold weather. II
he is not failure will result. Let your
feeding arrangement be such that
each calf get his share.
Do not. as | have seen on many
farms. pour the milk into tub or
a trough and let the calf fight for
his share. There is no chance for
disagreement on this point This is
not feding.
II will be found advisable, summer
or winter. to arrange that each calf
can get his individual shire of the
food. In yard in the summer time,
or in a pen in the winter
If you have plenty of time It will
be found advisable to tie each calf
at each feeding. Tie around each
calfs neck a ring two inches In d.
ameter with a light rope.
Give each calf place at a post and
staple TO the post two feet above the
ground a rope not more than eight
or ten inches long with a swivel snap
In the end
Have these ropes far enough apart
to prevent the calves from reaching
each other and you will have no trou-
BILE from the calves sucking one an.
others noses or ears. Keep the calves
tied until the milk is licked from their
chops and noses.
II the calves be of about equal size
they may be turned loose to a trough
In which is the grain food.
