Baking Helps
Learn to Regulate the Heat of
Your Oven

By11rs. Janet Mckenzie Hill, Editor Of
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
There is just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface. Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake is
fully rizen; then increase the heat,
SO as to brown it over quickly.
Extreme heat stiffens the dough.
If you stiffen the outside of the
cake before the rising is complete,
you stop the rising process. Then
the leavening gas, forming inside,
will bulge up the center, where
the dough is still soft, and spoil
the shape of the cake. an
NorE-Biscuits or other pastries
made from stiff dough, that are cut into
shapes for the oven, bake in a hot oven
This is because the cut surfaces Of the
dough do not scar over, but rather
leave the pores open, allowing the
leavening gas to escape and the heat to
penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly; therefore they should be made
several degrees hotter than larger
oven, and the less the door is opened
the better. Do not attempt to bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re-
quires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
Have strong underheat for baking
powder preparations, especially pastry.
These are only few of the many
baking helps found in the X c Cook
Book-a copy of which may be secured
by sending the colored certificate taken
from 25-cent can of K c Baking Pow
der to the JAQUEs MFG. Co., Chicago.

WINTER CARE
OF FALL LlTTERS.

cultural College.
In the care of fall litters the first
and most essential consideration is
the care Of the sows. These must
be in healthy, vigorous condition in
order that the pigs will not be rob-
bed Of milk and become stunted. At
this time Of the year the care of the
fall pigs would be the care of pigs
eight to ten weeks old, as most OF
the fall pigs have reached this age.
The care up to this time is import
ant, for it is during this period that
the pig gets its start toward doing
well or becoming'a runt. If the pigs
are well fed up to weaving time and
kept on coming after being taken
from their mothers, there is no rea-
son for fall pigs becoming runty and
losing the owner money.
During the cold weather the ques-
ton Of quarters is as important as
feed, for with either lacking the
other is Of no value The houses
should be free from draughts, yet
well ventilated, we'll lighted, warm
and clean. The pens Of these houses
are most convenient when they are
divided so that not more than three
filters will be sleeping together. This
is for the reason that more than
three sows cannot agree very well,
and even if they do get along the
pigs will he more or less inclined to
pile up on cold nights and losses will
occur as result.
The feed Of the sows and pigs
should be a we'll balanced ration of
corn, shorts and tankage fed in such
proportions that they will meet the
requirements of the different sows.
The pigs should be fed on more
heterogeneous ration than the old sows
are receiving. You get bit strong
err pigs in this way. The question of
feeding soft feed to pigs in winter
is Of interest in feeding fall pigs,
because each side has such strong
supporters. One thing, however, is
certain, if the feed is fed scalded the
gains will be quicker, although the
nutritive cost may be greatly in
creased.
The general method of feeding
pigs is to let them learn to eat at the
troughs Of the old sows. When they
are about four weeks old they will
not lie getting enough with the old
sows and small feeding pen with
screen door small enough to turn the
dams, but let the pigs pass through,
should be provided In this pen the
pigs can be fed all that they will
clean up in from ten to fifteen min
utes. For roughage after the pas
ture is gone, both the old sows
and pigs might be given access to
:ation Of clover or alfalfa hay. On
first thought this feeding of nay
seems little overdrawn, but if it
is tried it will be found to be eaten
quite readily by the hog. AS tonic,
ashes, charcoal, lime and salt can be
mixed and put in d self-feeder some
where in the pen, so that the pigs can
have access to it at any time. Simple
remedies, as dips, turpentine and sui
phur, can be substituted with good
results in place of the stock foods
that are somewhat in general use.
Hogs can be fed and housed cheap
ly through the winter in this way and
brought out in the spring 100 to $50
pounds heavier, They will make the
owner more clear money than if they
all slept in one pen with the dams
and were fed on corn and water.

SPREADING WEED SEEDS
BY MEANS OF MANURE
BY Prof. L. H. Pammel, Iowa State
College.

College.
A Polk county farmer writes as
follows to the Iowa Agricultural Elk.
pertinent Station: "Please advise me
about using manure. l can get all
l want from Des Moines for hauling
it, but l am afraid of weed seeds. Is
there any certain way to get around
this trouble?"
There is wide spread impression
that weed seeds may be scattered
with manure. This is true for weed
seeds with very hard coats, among
which we may mention the velvet
weed, cheeses, and some seeds of the
clover family. Here again however
it is a question of how thoroughly
the manure was composted.
The writer and Miss King conduct
ed an experiment with large num-
Der Of weed seeds which were left
in manure for a little over a month
and in but few cases did we obtain
seeds capable Of termination. Thus
termination of the following weeds
was obtained after five weeks: lady's-
thumb, curled dock, and one quack
grass plant. These seeds were plac-
ed in the manure on May 10th and
removed June 10Th. However, no
termination of any of these weed
seeds was obtained by July LIST.
There are very few seeds, espe.
cially Of the grass type, like quacF
grass with thin coats, that are
capable of prolonged vitality unde,
the conditions we had in the manure
If, however, the manure is not COM
posted and fresh manure is placed
on the field there is danger that
various kinds Of weeds will be scat.
tered. 1t would probably be safe.
therefore. to take the manure in the
winter, throw it on pile and let it &c
into decomposition during the months
of March, April and May and place
it upon the field after the oats croI
is removed.
This is true with the possible ex-
ception Of a few weed seeds with
hard coats, like the cheeses and sweet
clover, and these may possibly retain
their vitality, but we have no expert
ments at hand to indicate how long
their vitality may be preserved.
An interesting series Of expert
ments was carried on by E. l. Os-
valid TO ascertain the vitality Of SEEDS
when placed in manure under d.ffe~-
ent conditions. Three kinds of man
ure were used in equal parts. The
manure was placed in separate piles
and seeds enclosed in gauze bags
were placed in the manure and al
lowed to remain varying periods Of
time, in some cases 60 days, in others
6 months. This lot contained 50 diff
fe,ent kinds of seeds. After the re-
guired length of time, the seeds were
planted in the greenhouse and it was
found that they had become thor
oughly rotted and their vitality de-
stroyed. In order to cover the con-
ditions usually followed by dairymen
and gardeners where the manure re-
mains but short time, another set
of experiments was started in the
fall. The seeds remained in the pile
only one month and were then plant
ed as in the previous experiment. The
results of the experiments entirely
confirmed those Of the previous OK.
pertinent except in the cases of the
seeds of ribgrass, horse nettle, COM
mon plantain, large ragweed, bitter
dock and mallow, which were still
firm.
