Quickly Made Sandwiches.

Fifteen minutes spent In watching
a caterer make up the sandwiches for
an evening entertainment yielded
some profitable information. With n
sharp knife he first cut up all his
bread into thin slices. trimming off
the trusts from a dozen slices at a
time. Then into a bowl of freshly
made mayonnaise he stirred the on
tents of a can OF deviled ham. 1t was
the work of a moment to spread this
rich paste upon two slices of bread. A
slap with the big knife pressed them
into a thin wedge and a sharp cut d.
vided the sandwich square In two tri-
angles. Sandwiches for so people
we're made thus In less than half an
hour.

LENTIL AS A FOOD
HAS BEEN TOO LONG NEGLECTED.
IN AMERICA.
Its Valuable Qualities Better Apprecl
ated in Europe-Requires Care in
It's Proper Preparation for
the Table.

The lentil is a legume of the great
est antiquity and one of the oldest Of
foods, yet 1t is new or entirely un-
known in most American households.
We probably owe it TO the German.
Americans that this little, unfamiliar
relative of the bean and pea is now
one of the dried vegetables which are
our staple resource. In Germany the
lentlf soup is a great %favorite. Tons
of lentils are also imported in Eng
land each year and recipes for cook
ing them are to be found in most
English cook BOOKS. as they are not
in American.
The native country Of the lentll Is
not known, but it has been raised In
Egypt for thousands of years and the
Egyptian, or red. variety is that best
known to commerce. 1t was parched
in Egypt and Syria in the days of the
patriarchs and thus prepared was the
most convenient food for long jour
neys. 1t is the food of the poor in
all countries where it is grown.
Strange beliefs and superstitlons
have often been connected with diff
rs with many other sorts of food, and
both the lentil and the bean have been
used or rejected because of these.
For a long time the English believed
the lentil to be difficult of digestion,
to cause serious bowel disorders and
to injure the eyes, but such ideas
have now been pretty generally dis
carded.
The lentil Is richer in nutritious
matter than almost any other kind OF
character 1t is more nearly an equiv
alent of lean meat than almost any
other kind of food.
The lentll should be picked over,
thoroughly soaked for eve or eight
hours or over night, and cooked slow
ly in boiling water. The picking over
is important, for 1t Is possible for a
few seeds of noxious weeds to vitiate
any such food, just as they do coffee
they get mixed with the bean.
Inc l6nLll ieHuS ltSelI 10 experiment..
The following recipe for lentil ris-
soles suggests of what sort these are:
Take equal parts of strained, we'll
cooked lentils and cold mashed pota-
toes. Mix, add o%ne-third of the amount
of fine bread crumbs, one teaspoon
each OF powdered sage and minced
onion, and a little salt. Dissolve a
teaspoon of nut butter In two table
spoons of hot water and add to mix
ture. Mix all well together, press into
oiled tin, cut into squares with knife
and place In a moderate over for ten
or fifteen minutes. Serve hot"
Lentil soups are made with stock
and with ham and sometimes frank
furts are boiled In them. but cooked
without any of these things, except
perhaps a slice of bacon. mashed and
strained and then softened in flavor
with milk. they make a most delight
full soup.

GET FINE EFFECTS
CATERERS DO MUCH WITH ICES
AND SPUN SUGAR.
Wonderful Schemes of Decoration
Evolved-Hostess May Have Any
Idea Which Particularly Strikes
the Moments Fancy.

Ices n Spun sugar-Caterers In
the world Of fashion are achieving
wonderful effects IN spun sugar, TO
be used with decorative ices At din
ners. l|unoheons or suppers. The Ices
are ordered In special forms and can
be had to match any color scheme or
to carry out any holiday decoration,
For n bridal breakfast there are
large wedding bells of white spun su-
gar filled with Ices I'm the forms of
Cunids and orange blossoms. Again,
the sun sugar is a huge slipper filled
with h~eart.shaped and small wedding
bell ices.
For a spring luncheon In yellow
nothing is lovelier than a great poke
bonnet of yellow spun sugar, set on
masses of green spun sugar with a
broad band.like green ribbon across
the crown. This Is filled with Ices In
the form of white lilies, or roses with
green stems.
This form is passed to each guest,
who serves herself to 1t and some of
the spun sugar.
For n pink luncheon a huge cornu-
copia of pink sugar Is filled with ices
In the shape of big azaled blossoms
trailing from n bed of pale green spun
sugar. Or II may be filled with real
strawberries and vanilla ices nodded
to resemble strawberry blossoms and
foliage.
Quick and Easily Made lclng-Cream

TONERS sugar and three tablespoon
fuls of cocoa. vanilla and five table
spoonfuls of cold coffee. BY using
orange juice instead of cocoa and oof-

stead of vanilla, a nice orange filling
is made. Beat hard and spread or

Pie.

Take n cup of pastry flour, add a
pinch of salt and mix to the right con-
sistency with sweet cream. Chill

Mix four tablespoonfuls OF sugar and
three of -four and stir this into a cup
full and a half of cream; cook over
hot water until thickened, stirring
constantly, then take from the fire
and flavor with vanilla and an eighth

ream filling into the baked pastry
shell: bake in a moderate oven until

Flavor of Fried Vegetables.

Most of the stews. soups, praised
meats and pot roasts are very much
improved II the f1avoring vegetables
which they contain. such as carrots,
turnips. onions, celery or green pep
pers, are fried In a little fat before
being cooked with the meat. This
need not complicate the preparation
of the meat or increase the number of
utensils used. for the meat itself Is
usually scared v in fat, and the
vegetables can be cooked in the same

Start Moderately.

1t is best to begin keeping poultry
in a small way and to keep the best
of stock. AS you learn. the flock may
be enlarged with your experience. AL
ways remember that a large flock re.
quires a large sheltering place and
large feeding grounds. Where many
should be more than one poultry house
and they should be widely separated.
The more houses you have and the
more widely separated they are the
less trouble you will have with dis
ease. hence the more profit in the
business.

For the Housewife.

A simple decoration for hand towels
is to embroider each end with Joined
links, Make the links as large as a
dollar, interlacing them the same as
in chain. Work the outline with white
floss in the briar-stitch. Make one
initial at the center and pad 1t with
chain-stitch, then overcast with plain
white floss.
Fatirons which have become rusty
should be washed In soda water and

Ripen cream properly before churn-

There is a scarcity of good dairy

The cherry tree should be headed

Feed all of the hens all they will

A very important part of dairying

When the young poults begin to get
their long wing flight feathers, they
require extra care and attention.
For two or three years after plant
ing, the ground among ornamental
shrubs should be spaded and the sur
face cultivated to keep down weeds
and grass and to conserve moisture.
Some states prohibit the importa-
ton of dairy and breeding cattle until
they are tuberculin tested, but permit
as yet unrestricted sale of stock with

Rape is especially valuable for
breeding ewes in midsummer, when
the pastures begin to fail, as the sue

milk for the lambs.
Never oyerfeed or feed pepper or
other condiments to the hens you ex-

The Wisconsin experiment station

hogs. Hogs fed on ~phosphates and

The table value of both lettuce nj

There Is something in suiting the
