RECIPES FOR CAKE
OATMEAL COOKIES MADE TEN
DER BY USE OF KNIFE.
Ingredients Used In Making Three
Layer Hot-Water Cake, Orange
Preparations-Also Good Dt-
rections for Kisses.

Oatmeal Cookies Help.-Almost ev'
cry one is fond of oatmeal cookies,
but there Is one thing disliked by
many, that is the uncooked taste that
the oatmeal has if not ground. ] have
learned by experience that by using
the coarsest knife on your food chop
per and grinding the oatmeal through
it improves the cookies very much.
This does not pulvcriZe the oatmeal,
but makes the grains finer and dis
tributes the flavor more evenly, and
they never have that uncOoked taste.
Below is my favorite recipe: One cup
shortening, half lard and half butter;
one large cupful c sugar creamed with
butter, two eggs well beaten, nine
tablespoonfuls SOU milk, n scant
t%easpoonful soda dissolved in milk,
one teaspoonful cinnamon, half tea
spoonful nutmeg, pinch of salt; one.
half cupful chopped nut meats; one
cupful chopped r~aisins, n small tea.
spoonful baking powder sifted with
two cups -four. Add one cup ground
oatmeal last. l bake these in muffin
tins, but can be baked as drop cookies
If preferred.
Hot Water cake.-Four eggs, sep.
arate them, beat yolks light, gradually
stirring In two cupfuls of graduated
sugar. Beat we'll together, add one
cupful of boiling water, two cupfuls Of
flour, one teaspoonful Of baking pow
der. Beat whites to a fToth ana flavor.
This makes a good, large, three-layer
cake. Bake slowly.
Orange Cake.-One cup sugar, three
tablespoonfuls butter, two eggs, half
cup orange juice, grated rind of one
orange, one and one-half cups -four,
one and one-half t~easpoonfuls baking
powder. Cream butter, add sugar,
beat; add eggs %unbeatetn; beat thor
oughly; add orange juice, then the
-four sifted with the baking powder.
Bake in gem pans and roll in powder.
ed sugar while warm.
Kisses.-The secret of good kisses
lies in the beating. Beat the whites
of two eggs to a stiff froth, then add
two cupfuls of graduated sugar and
one teaspoonful of vinegar. Beat well
for twenty minutes. Turn your bak-
ing pan Upside down and cover with
oiled paper. Drop the mixture in tea
spoonfuls on the pan. In baking they
swell quite a bit. Do not turn the light
on the oven until they are in. Then
bake slowly 25 minutes. This guam.
tity makes two dozen.

CARE OF THE HORSE.

When a horse comes into the barn
painting hard from exhaustion let him
stand for a while without watering or
feeding, but after ordinary exhaustion
horses may be fed and watered with
out danger.
Colts and mares that have been or
pasture all summer should be fed .
little grain every day for two or three
weeks before turning them onto dry
feed for the winter.
Horses that are not working will do
better running In IN open pasture than
In a stable.
II a mare Is bred at two years of
age she should not be worked; at that
age she cannot well both raise a colt
and perform much labor. 1t is better
to let her run in the pasture, where
needed exercise can be obtained.
II your colts and horses are troubled
with worms, lay 1t to late cut hay and
you will be right four times out of FIVE.
A brood mare that does a moderate
amount Of work, so good horsemen
consider, will on the average raise
better colts than the one that e
works.

SKIMMlLK GOOD FOR POULTRY
Of Agriculture Demonstrated
Benefit Derived.

The question whether skimmilk is
beneficial to poultry or not has been
often debated, says a recent report of
the Kansas state board of agriculture.
Recently a test was made which
brings out some facts on this subject
worth knowing, as skimmilk is a
common article on the farm. In the
test 40 chicks were divided into two
equal lots, both as to number and
weight. Both lots were treated alike,
with the exception that one lot had
skimmilk and the other did not. At
the end Of AZ days the lot without
milk had gained 124 ounces and the
lot with milk had gained $50 ounces.
In a previous experiment one lot with
out milk gained 1925 ounces in the
same time the lot with milk gained
1888 ounces.

FRENCH OFFICERS REVENGE
How He Got Even With a Venetiao
Nobleman for a Cool and MortJ.
flying Reception.

A French officer who had spirit and
good birth, but little wealth. had
served the Venetian republic for some
years with great valor and fidelity.
but had not been acknowledged with
promotion as he had merited. One
day he waited on a nobleman whom
he had often asked for advancement
in vain, but in whose friendship he
had some reliance. The reception he
met with was cool and Notifying; the
nobleman turned his back upon the
old soldier and left him to find his
way to the street through a suite Of
beautifully furnished rooms He
passed them, lost in thought, until he
saw a valuable collection of cut glass
on a damask-covered |sideboard ready
for a banquet. Turning to his com.
panion, a faithful English mastif, he
said, absent-mindedly:
Here, my poor old friend, you see
how these naughty tyrants indulge
themselves, and yet how are we
treated!"
The dog looked at his masters face,
and gave tokens that he understood
him. The veteran walked on, but the
mastif slackened his pace, and, laying
hold Of the damask cloth with his
teeth, with one hearty pull brought
all the glass on the ~sideboard in shiV'
ers to the floor.

USE KITCHEN SLATE
HOMELY MEMORANDUM OILS
HOUSEHOLD MACHINERY.
Useful In Medlum-Slzed Famlly-Pro-
gram for the Week Can Be
Mapped Out and May Save
You Many Worries.

The kitchen slate is a time saver.
The family Of two persons, in which
one is downtown all day, may be run
with the greatest economy of time,
food and worry. The family of two is
not a family at all in the true sense
of the word which groups the old and
the young and children In a household
where management is a real problem.
To manage the foods, the shelter, the
work and the play OF a household, say,
Of husband, wife and three children,
requires considerable executive abil.
ity. The woman who can do II is a
general in the field. If she can EN-.
ploy a helper who supplements her
labor, so much the better; but the
average family has difficulty in find
ing a helper, and the laundry, the
baking and general cleaning is done
by different persons end all but the
latter out of the house.
The family kitchen slate serves its
purpose to keep the machinery run
ming regularly. A strong housewife
may write it down in her memory, but
how about those days when she is not
at home, and when she is tired and
her brain refuses to act? The pro-
gram Of the weeks work should be
mapped out on the slate, and odd
notes Of needs and marketing jotted
on the other side. Just by glancing at
the slate it will be known when to ex.
pect the laundryman, when an after
noon is free, when the fish man comes,
etc.
The family of two has its puzzle in
dispensing variety at the table and
having nothing go to waste. The
kitchen slate, gaining a bill of fare,
will keep its possibilities before the
eyes of the woman who likes a roast
now and then, and feels life barren
without a fowl. The cooking Of left.
overs" is an extravaganza of time and
energy. There should not be any left
overs" to any extent. Yet a roast will
last more than a single meal and a
can of corn or tomatoes is double por-
ton for two hearty appetites. An ex.
ecutive mind will decide what shall
follow the first meal, and figuring 1t
all out on the slate will dismiss the
details from her consideration.

SILAGE ACID-FLAvoRED MILK

By WIN. UNDERWOOD, uinois)
Frequently some n objects 10
silage as a food for COWS upon the
grounds that It gives the milk an aSd
flavor. This may be true in some
cases, but It is not the fault Of the
silage. It is due to carelessness in the
barn.
The most exhaustive experiments
have proven that when silage Is han
died right It does not produce this un'
desirable result.
The great problem of tainted milk is
in keeping It free from undesirable
odors and bacteria after It has left

Do not leave a trail Of It from the
door Of the feed room clear through
the stable and do not leave a lot Of Il
Just out of reach Of the COWS.
Where It is within their reach II

KILLED The HORSE
EXCITING sTEER-RopINo CON.
TEST AT 4 FLORIDA PICNIC.
Capt. Thomas Lindsay, the State's
Cowboy King, Became a Hero,
but Lost His Famous
Horse.

Trenton, FLA picnic was given
at Fort Fannin on the Suwanee river
the other day and a steer-roping con-
test was advertised as part Of the
days entertainment. Capt. Thomas j.
Lindsay, who is known as the cowboy
king, and is the champion of West
Florida, was to contest with Bill
Sykes, thu champion of Levy county.
Captain Lindsay arrived promptly
at ten a. m, mounted on his famous
pony, Greasy Streak, but Sykes had
not yet arrived. Many cheers we're
given for Captain Lindsay, and Kisses
given for Sykes, but Lindsay pointed
out that something might have hap
pened to prevent Sykes attendance,
and proposed to wait 80 minutes for
his arrival. After waiting 20 minutes,
a messenger arrived and reported
Sykes was too sick to attend. This
was a great disappointment to the
crowd, but Captain Lindsay deter
mined TO give an exhibition Of his
own.
He went to the corral where a large
herd of fierce bulls had been penned,
and turning them out, headed them
for the river. Captain Lindsay thought
that when they reached the bluff that
they would turn and circle the en-
closed side Of the picnic grounds, but
the day being warm, and the bulls
fretted by their confinement in the
corral, they plunged over the bluff In
TO the river. Captain Lindsay was
just IN the rear of a large bull when
the leaders went over, and threw his
lariat with unerring aim around the
big animals horns.
All would have been well, but when
the captain stopped his pony, he was
going so fast that the animal skidded
on his launches to within three feet
of the edge of the bluff and when the
bull struck the water the treacherous
bank gave way, throwing both horse
and rider into the river. Captain Lind
say is an expert swimmer, and would
not have been in any danger II his
spurs had not become entangled, and
he was carried under with his strug-
Cling pony. Two men were In a boat
fishing near by, and went to his as
sistance. Lindsay succeeded in cut
ting loose Just in time to escape
drowning. His friends were uneasy
about his condition for quite awhile,
but he came around all right in an
hour or so, and is in as good shape as
ever. The people, however, regret
the loss of the captains fine and
famous pony.

Guinea Fowls.

The guinea fowl has come into pop
ular favor as a table fowl, taking the
place largely of game birds. The
guinea, like the turkey, is a rather
wild bird, and its flesh has a distinct
wild flavor, especially the dark-meated
varieties. The fowls, both young and
old. are in great demand by hotels, res.
taurants and hospitals of the better
class in all large cities. Those grow
ing guineas for market are able, Ia
many cases, to make more money
from them than from any other class
of meat poultry.
