One of the most difficult problems
which the poultry keeper has to meet
is that of keeping his poultry houses
and stock reasonably free from lice,
mites and other external parasites.
In keeping a poultry plant free from
lice there are two points of attack: One,
the birds themselves; the other, the
houses, nest boxes, roosting boards, etc.
In using any kind of lice powder on
the birds themselves, it should always
be remembered that single applics-
ton OF powder is not sufficient When
there are lice present on bird there are
always unmatched eggs of lice ("nits)
present, too. The proper procedure is
to follow up a first application of pow
der with a second at an interval of four
days to a week. If the birds are badly
infested at the beginning it may be nee
essary to make still third application.
To clean the cracks and crevices of tn ;
woodwork of houses and nests of lice
and vermin liquid spray or paint is
probably the most desirable form of ap-
plication.
4 splendid lice powder may be made
at cost Of only a few cents a pound
in the following way: Take three parts
of gasoline and one part of crude car
bolic acid; mix these together and add
gradually with stirring, enough plaster
or Paris 10 take up all the moisture. The
liquid and the dry plaster sh ould be
thoroughly mixed and stirred so that the
liquid will be be uniformly distributed
through the mass Of plaster. When
enough plaster has been added the re-
sulting mixture should be dry, pinIdsh
brown powder having a fairly strong
carbolic odor and 9 rather less pronounc-
ed gasoline odor.
Do not use more plaster in mixing
than is necessary to blot up the liquid.
This powder is to be worked into the
feathers of the birds affected with YER
min. The bulk of the application should
be in the fluff around the vent and on
the ventral side of the body and in the
fluff under tie wings. Its efficiency
which is greater than that of any other
ICE powder known TO the writer can be
very easily demonstrated by anyone 10
his own satisfaction. Take a bird that
is covered with lice and apply the pow

Baking Beans

Boston has given at least one indis-
clensible dish to the culinary depart
ment of every home where good food
IS relished. Travellers have said that
there are beans and beans, but il
remains for the Hub city to make of
the homely little vegetable a food
Ii, for the gods.
To make baked beans, soak one and
one-half pints small white beans over
night in soft water In the morning
ain and parboil, but not enough to
crush the beans. Place in the bottom
OF bean pot several slices of bacon
Csalt or fresh pork, then put in about
half the beans, over which sprinkle
salt, heaping spoonful of brown sug-
ar or New Orleans molasses, then
more slices of the bacon. Over this
place the rest of the beans, with the
salt, sugar or molasses, and bacon on
top. Cover with soft water, and bake
at least eight hours, though they are
better if baked a day. Add soft water
as needed.
Baked beans seem incomplete if
served without brown bread. To make
this old-fashioned delicacy, take one
and one-half pints of sour milk, to,
which should be added one cup of bak-
ing molasses, and a scant teaspoonful
Of soda. Foam separately, then add
four cups graham flour, one teaspoon
fol baking powder and one teaspoonful
salt. Put in one-pound baking powder
cans, steam two and one-half hours
ard bake a half hour

New Spring Dishes
Tomato, Van Reuter-.

Cut the required amount of fresh as
paragus tips, about half an inch in
length, season with salt, pepper and
dash of celery salt, and place on the
salamander to heat in a deep dish.
Prepare the number of tomatoes re-
quired, first cutting off a slice from
the stem end and scooping out most
of the pulp, then stuff the shells of
the tomatoes with asparagus tips, and
place again on the salamander to cook
the tomatoes. If to be eaten hot,
serve with sauce Hollandaise; if cold,
place in the ice box and when ready
serve with mayonnaise thinned with
a little tarragon vinegar.
Homard Neptune.
Have lobster cut up into small
squares, and the same quantity of
scallops, oyster crabs, mussels, oys-
tiers and frogs legs. Have the whole
parboiled with sauce Newburg and
add a little Beurre d'Homard, very
strong, to this Then take the shell
of the lobster and fill it with the in
gradients put on top of this few
oyster crabs and serve very hot.
Eggs a la Russo.

dish and most appetizing 1t was COM
posed of whole hard-boiled eggs from

| faces decorated with little pieces of
troubles, a border of finely minced
vegetables flecked with little mounds

shaped pieces of smoked salmon. The
color scheme of this dish is most
novel and attractive.

Pineapple LactO

Beat the yolks and the whites of
two eggs separately, and add to three
cupfuls of sugar mixed with two
quarts of sour skim milk and one and
one-fourth cupfuls of pineapple. When
frozen add the juice of two
lemons.
In place of the pineapple in the rec
ipe, one may us one-half, cupful Of
cherry juice, or the juice of four or
five oranges, or one cupful of straw
berry juice, or one half cupful of red
raspberry juice thus making cherry,
orange, strawberry, or raspberry lacto
Concentrated fruit syrups may be used
instead of the fruit juices.
For making the lactos, ordinary
sour milk will do, or milk may be
soured by some of the Tactic acid
preparations now on the market. A lit
tie sour milk may be used as start
er" for a larger amount and thus a
supply may be kept constantly on
hand. If you have some sour milk
that has formed into a solid, smooth
curd free from bubbles, it is safe to
sour other milk from this. The fresh
supply of sweet milk should be heated
to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and kept
there for from twenty to thirty min
utes. Add a little of the sour milk
and let it stand for a few days.
1t was during the session of the
Graduate School of Home Economics
at Ames that first tasted lactos. Pro,
fessor Mortensen was then selling the
products in small quantities for fam
lily use, and also supplying local drug
gists with them to be sold at the soda
fountains. At that time, the bacte
biologists at the college were just be
ginning to study the new ices, for the
purpose of determining how many OF
the Tactic acid bacteria survived the
rather large dose of lemon juice and
the freezing. A report will be made
on this in the forthcoming bulletin
In the meantime there can be nc
doubt that lactos are refreshing and
,palatable new desserts.

Buttermilk Cheese

Heat the buttermilk slowly to 1870
or 140 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring all
the time. This is conveniently done
in a double boiler. After the heating,
the curd settles to the bottom of the
dish and most of the whey may be
easily poured off. The remaining
whey may be removed by draining
through several layers of cheese
cloth. Season with salt alone or with
salt and pepper, or with salt and
caraway seed. This cheese is Of such
consistency that it san easily be
formed into cakes and cut into slices.
Buttermilk cheese has a fine, mild,
buttermilk flavor. 1t is finer grain
ed than cottage cheese and needs no
addition of cream or butter to make
it palatable. 1t is used like cottage
cheese or may be spread on bread
like butter. If desired it may be
warmed slightly and mixed with one
fourth its weight of butter, making a
product called "sandwich-cheese."
Buttermilk Cream.
Buttermilk cream is made very much
as the cheese is, except that it should
be heated only to 100 degrees Fahren-
heit. Stir it constantly while it is be-
ing brought to this temperature, and
strain through a cheese-cloth, allow
ing the whey to drip out until the curd
is about the consistency of thick
cream. The curd may be spread up
on bread or eaten with cream and
sugar. 1t makes a delicious salad
dressing, which is a good substitute
for German cream dressing.

INV Husbands Den
Lady TeazIe in the Chronicle.

This is my husbands den,' the
lady of the house announced, as she
ushered Lady Teazle into the apart
ment for a chat.
The home was a beautifully appoint
ed one, with drawing-room, living
room and library of inviting aspect,
and doubtless the lady's own boudoir
was a delightful lounging place, but
she had chosen this particular room
for the tete-a-tete.
1t was we'll that she had mentioned
the fact that it was her husbands
den. No one would ever have guess
ed it.
There was no row of curious pipes
no disorderly writing table; not a sign
of a lounging coat nor the scattered
leaves Of single sporting paper-not
one item of mute evidence of mascu-
line ownership except an ash tray fill
er with cigarette ends (Which had no
particular mannish significance now
adays) and rather comfortably pro
portioned leather chair.
The couch was a Notwithstanding
affair, arranged according to feminine
ideas of comfort, upon which were as
sembled a Robert Chambers novel, an
embroidery frame and a box of choc-
olates.
A wrecked train of "choo-choo"
cars reposed against the leg of the
table and a smart French doll sat
erect in a corner before miniature
tea table in wild disorder.
This is such nice sunny ROOM"
explained the little lady, that the
children and l spend most of the time
here"
Well and good, but-why my HUS-
BANDS DEM"
Lady Teazle has in mind another
handsome house where the man of
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-05-27

the family has his "own" dressing
room and his own" clothes wardrobe.
A casual glance within any time
would reveal box of complexion pow
der, bodkin threaded with pink bebe
ribbon and cutglass salve boxes re-
posing on the chiffonier along with
the military brushes and safety razors.
And the clothes closet that had
been fitted with some new-fangled pa
tent trouser stretchers which milady
had discovered were the very incest
things for keeping her skirts in shape,
would be found to have been taken
possession of up to the farthest and
darkest corner, where perhaps a
pathetic and lonely overcoat might De
found hanging on solitary peg.
Do American men like this sort of
invasion of their privacy?
Does the fact of his wife's lingerie
and ball gowns hanging among his
belongings appeal to his sentimental
nature and his sense of romance, or
does he just submit to having it put
over on him in this fashion for the
sake Of peace and family tranquil
lily?
Wouldn't he really like his den to
himself in all the masculine glory of
dust and disorder?
And even though he loves his wife,
are there not times when he would
prefer to spend his evening alone
there without her company?
An Bnglishman sets his large, de-
termined foot down squarely on intru-
ders on the privacy of his soul, and
really HAS the exclusive use of his
own quarters in his own home.
An American husband solves the
problem by going to the club when
he wants to get away from his wife.
Poor man! He has to go SOME
WHERE to escape feminine invasion.
