All poultry that are not pure-bred are not scrubs.
 When growing fowls expressly for m arket. many poultrymen prefer cross breds.
 The houses and pens the fowls are placed in should be scrupulously clean.
 Generally hen with nice. clean cut head and full. bright eye will be a good layer.
 Crossing an African gander on Tou- louse geese is said to give the largest sized offspring.
 It Is well to consider what is the best treatment of fowls while they are passing through the moult-
 Fowls always seem to moult earlier and quicker when they are. warm and in places where they are exposed to the sun.
 Of first importance Is to keep young stock growing vigorously. Too many poultry raisers compel their young

Fish Cream.

A dainty which may. be substituted for the meat course with benefit to the digestion on these dog days is fish cream.
 Pick the cold cooked fish free of skin and bones and pass it through the meat chopper. To two cups of this add one cup of milk which has been poured while boiling hot over one cup of bread crumbs and allowed to stand Is minutes. Season with half a teaspoonful of minced chives or parsley. Add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and two beaten eggs. Pour the mixture into greased mold and steam for 30 minutes. Serve on a hot platter
 Or the family might be tempted with delicate chicken loaf made from leftover portions from a cold cooked fowl. Chop the meat and to pint of it add cup of thick white sauce, seasoning to taste. Line a mold with boiled rice. and while the rice is still hot put in the chicken. Press well, spread rice over the top and bake in a pan of water half an hour. Unmold and serve with cream or tomato sauce or surround with chicken gravy thickened.

TWO GOOD CAKE RECIPES
Striped Cakes and Small Cakes Good Enough to Tempt Most Jaded
 Appetite.

Striped Cake.-White Part.-Ope half cupful butter. one cupful sugar, one-half cupful sweet milk, two cup fuls flour in which is sifted two tea spoonfuls baking powder, whites of three eggs.
 Dark Part.-One cupful brown sugar. one tablespoonful molasses, one-half cupful butter, one-half cup full sour milk in which dissolve one half teaspoonful soda, two cupfuls of flour, one tablespoonful of cinnamon and allspice.

RATION TO EATEN POULTRY
Method Adopted at Maine Station and Gives Much Satisfaction-Coops
 Are Used.

At the Maine station the following ration for fattening is fed to fowls in small pens with great success.
 Hundred parts of cornmeal
 Hundred parts wheat nliddlings.
 Forty parts of meat meal.
 This was fed as porridge. thick enough to drop. but not run. from a spoon. Milk is preferable for moisten. ing the mixture.
 French and English fatteners who make a speciality of the business of fattening thousands of chickens each year confine them in small GOODS. The coops used at the Maine station had a floor space of 16 by 23 inches. in each of which four chickens were placed. This method can be used when the space Is limited. At the Maine station 1t was found that chick ems fattened in a pen put on sFeight as rapidly and at as low cost as those in crates or on which cramming ma chimes were used.
 Where a pen Is used the fowls should have shade. grit and the water must be fresh and plentiful. Feed them three times day end be care full to see that none is left in the troughs between meals.

FINE GOLD BEEF BoUILLoN
Is Only a FiIIip for the Stomach, But Is Delicious Served
 This Way.

Put five pounds of shank beef-not too young-in five quarts of cold wa ter. Let it come to a boil slowly, skim carefully and set the vessel on the stove where it will simmer gent ly for eight hours. Strain through cheesecloth and set away to cool. The next day skim off the fat and turn the soup into a kettle. not allowing the sediment to pass in. Add one onion, one or more stalks of celery accord lns to taste. a soup bouquet, six cloves and salt. Boil gently a half hour. strain twice through a napkin and after it is chilled set 1t on the ice. This should be served in little cups. without bread. for cold bouil- lon Is only a fillip to the stomach. If the bouillon is rich and well clarified this can be done with eggshells-it can be frozen to a jelly. and given the child in this form. Chicken bouil- lon can be prepared in the same way. and this is most delicious served as a jelly.

REST WEARY FEET
USE OF STOOLS A RELIEF seoR
 THE HOUSEWIFE. zS
Can Be Used to Advantage Without Delaying Work Minute-High and Low Stools a Great
 Convenience.

Housewives can give their tired feet rest without delaying their work one minute simply by judicious use of the high and low stool.
 First the high stool It should be cushioned and used often.
 Just look at the hours that a wom- an stands at the stove stirring a saucepan or doing such little odd things around the cook stove Is there any reason known to culinary science why such work should not be done with a long spoon from the comfort able height of the tall stool? The little girls in the cooking school are not required to stand at their work any more than are the scholars in the day school. They sit down to 1t, and the toll is lessened to a most appreci- able extent by that restful position, and there is no damage done to the contents of the saucepan by reason of the stirring being carried on from a high stool instead of in the usual way of the housewife.
 Dishwashing can be done as well from high stool as while standing on ones tired feet.
 Then that low stooll Its usefulness is so apparent that 1t is difficult to imagine any woman being without one and yet how few homes have such a thing for the purpose sug- gestedI
 Being light and easy to carry, it can be taken from room to room by the housewife and used for a rest when the tiresome work of straight ening the lower drawers in the bureau has to be done or the books on the lower shelf of the book rack dusted, or the laundry sorted out, all of which operations require one to sit on the floor or else break ones back bend ing over. Avoid this sort of calis- thenics when 1t is not necessary. Use a low stool and rest.
 Another use for this little stool Is when packing a suit case or trunk, work that will be frequently on the days list during these months. Don't kneel on the floor for that kind of work. The hinges of the knees will get rusty. soon enough without such unnecessary provocation. How rest full 1t Is to sit on one of these little bamboo seats when doing such work.
 Then when it is necessary to reach up to clean the chandelier or hang picture, the little bamboo friend comes in handy again, for 1t is just the right height to elevate one to the gas globe or the picture cord Finally. don't overlook the fact that the little bam-, boo stool is most useful and coni- fortable footstool when you are en- toying the luxury of rest time on the porch.

sAv0RY DISH FOR BREAKFAST
craieie Toast Can Be Made Quickly and Will Commend Itself to
 the Housewife.

Craigie toast will commend itself to those who wish for a quickly made savory for breakfast. Allow one egg and one tomato for each person. The following would be sufficient for four: Beat up four eggs and add to them the same number of tomatoes, free from skin and seed and finely chopped; also a small teaspoonful of chopped green chill, gherkin or capers. half cupful of milk and little salt. Melt one and half tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, mix all the other ingredients together. pour into the pan and stir over the fire till thor oughly hot. It may then be served at once on the toast, or may be allowed to cook gently by the side of the fire for five or ten minutes as preferred. Serve very hot. The above mixture might also be baked in the oven for twenty minutes and then garnished with small pieces of toast

Almond soup.

A very good and delicate soup for a summer dinner is cream of almonds, for which this is the method:
 Simmer a cup of almonds which have been blanched and chopped fine in quart of rich milk or thin cream
 Thicken with butter and flour blend ed in the usual way and strain while pouring it into cups or plates. A lit tie whipped cream may be added to each portion if desired, though this is not essential to it's excellence.
 Some day as a change from sweet potatoes baked or broiled. now that this toothsome vegetable is once more with us, try sweet potatoes grilled
 Boil some rather large ones 35 min. utes in slightly salted water. Oil the inside of broiler with olive oil, ar range the potato slices on it and broil for five minutes on each side Roll in teaspoonful of melted butter, re. moving from the fire. and serve.
 This is a more digestible method ol preparing them than sauteing in the frying pan, as many do.

Chocolate Puddina.

Put pint of milk to scald in dou- ble boiler. Crate two heaping table spoonfuls of chocolate and put on top of milk, but do not stir through until the chocolate is. thoroughly melted. When milk is scalding hot, stir cho- colate through it until all is mixed and chocolate is dissolved. Beat the yolk of one egg with two tablespoon fuls of sugar. add enough hot milk to egg to dissolve and warm it before putting it in hot chocolate mixture or it will cook in strings. Next moisten a tablespoonful of cornstarch in a little milk and thicken chocolate to a creamy consistency. Remove from the stove. When beginning to cool flavor with vanilla. Serve pudding ice cold
 It may be eaten with rich milk, but for extra occasions whipped cream makes it a most delicious dessert.

If hooks for the bathroom, kitchen and pantry are dipped in enamel paint there will be no trouble from iron rust
 Having several pairs of shoes and never wearing the same pair more than one or two days at a time will rest the leather and make 1t last bet ter.
 Chamois leather should be washed, when necessary, in soapsuds, and rinsed in soapsuds-not in clean wa ter. Treated thus it will keep it's original softness.
 Any dish that has held dough, milk, cream or eggs should be rinsed in cold water before being placed in hot wa ter. as hot water tends to cook such things and make them more difficult to remove.
 Small glasses filled with jelly will prove to be very acceptable gifts when Christmas time comes. When making your own supply of jelly fill few little glasses of different f1avors, put into a prettily trimmed basket or box will make a nice present for an invalid friend.
 Save old kid gloves for ironing day. Sew pad made from the left glove on to the palm of the right one, and you will find your hand is saved from becoming blistered, while the fingers and the back of the hand will be pro- tected from the scorching heat, which is so damaging to the skin.

HEUSEFUL TOMATO
REALLY A "NEW" VEGETABLE AND
 DISTINCTLY AMERICAN.
Has Special and Great GIories of It's Own and Is Now Indispensable Ad- junct of Refined Cook
 ing-Good in Salad.

The tomato is really a new" vege- table, and it is distinctly American, entirely unknown to the famous an- cient cooks. Its acceptance in good culinary home circles was long delayed because of its undesirable family con- nections. and it was almost cooked to death as a condition of its final initia- tion. It is not century since the to- mato was taken over and gradually promoted to the selectest of edible circles.
 The tomato has special and great giories of its own. Its scarlet color, first, makes it a delight and an ac- ceptable table complement to neutral or colorless foods. Of late the wonders of that coloring, clear, unblemished, deep enough to be emotional, has been shown us in splendidly handsome hot house varieties. The wondrous heavy, waxy reds, so widely popular in ex- pensive artificial berry sprays, used for decorations, are entirely outdone, even in mechanical perfectness. by these symmetrical hothouse tomatoes -as evenly and harmoniously perfect in every detail as though they had been cast in a mold and decorated by the hand of consummate artist.
 The tomato is now an indispensable adjunct of refined cooking. It affords the best seasoning and the most deli cate of fiavoring for many dish. And the dainty dishes of its own are among the things few housekeepers would care to get on without Rightly ma nipulated, it is delicious grilled, fried, baked, scalloped or stuffed. It Is the mainstay of many a salad
 In combination it's possibilities are almost infinitely diverse. It's number of associations so great that there might be different one for every day in the year. There are cooks and epi- cures who consider 1t is without a rival for soups. It Is used in all sorts of forcemeats. with macaroni and spaghetti, with eggs, with rice, with peppers. with filets, with flesh and fowl, chicken or salt cod, and, stewed with okra, it Is to some tastes as nee. tar to the gods. It Is even used with breakfast bacon in sort of twin i'm portance at the first meal of the day.
 The commercially canned tomatoes have perhaps proved themselves more useful than any other vegetables in tins, but the home productsis inestima- bly, more desirable.
 It is not safe, especially in irregular seasons, for the city housewife to wait until specified time to do any of her canning. She Is always inclined, of course, to wait for the cheap abund- ance of the homegrown article. which, unfortunately, does not always come as 1t has not this year in the case of several of the fruits. She must keep her eye on the market if she is really thrifty, and perhaps learn to scan daily the commercial sections of the news papers.
 On a day a market condition, per haps induced by certain crop condi- tions somewhere within the wide cli- matic range from which our large city markets draw, may be such as to force down prices to their lowest in either fruit or seasonable vegetables. The frugal home canner does not miss the opportunities of that day.
