HINTS ON COOKING OF RICE
It Should Be Thoroughly Cleaned and

In order that rice when cooked
should be snowy white, with every
grain separate. it must first be thor
oughly washed after picking 1t clean
from every foreign substance, wash
ing through three or four cold, clear
waters, rubbing the grains well be-
tween the hands to remove all the
dust and discoloration.
When well cleaned, it must be put
over the fire in quart of boiling
water to each cup of rice, adding a
teaspoon Of salt to the water; the
water must be boiling when the rice
is put into it. as the boiling of the
water will toss the grains of rice.

clinging together.
Shake the vessel occasionally, until
the grains begin to soften. but after
this do not touch the rice but con-
tinue the boiling until it swells and
appears to thicken; then take of the
cover, pour off any water there is, and
set the vessel in the oven in order
that the dry heat may swell the
grains, leaving it for about ten min
utes, but by no means until the grains
brown.
Then take out OF the oven. let stand
a few minutes and turn out into a
dish. Every grain should stand apart,
beautifully white, soft and perfectly
dry.

BIRDS FIGHT THEIR IMAGES.
But So Do Fish, for That Matter, According 70
Darwin.

correspondent for the Scotsman recently re-
ported what he described as the curious freak" Of
a blackbird flying against parlor window many
times at the same spot continuously. Such an in
cident is not uncommon. Birds have been known
to fight for hours at time, day after day. with
their own image reflected in pane of glass, peck
ing and futtertng against the pane and quite ex
hausting themselves in their fury to demoish the
supposed rival. 1t is another instance of how the
arts of our civilization corrupt and confuse the
birds.
It is the same with fishes. Darwin tells
story of pike in an aquarium separated by plate
glass from fish which were its proper food. In
trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash
with such violence against the glass to be COM
pletely stunned. 1t did this for more than three
months before 1t learned caution. Then when
the glass was removed the pike would not attack
those particular fish, but would devour others
freshly introduced.

TRY THIS MlNcE PIE
RECIPE FOR THE FAvoRITE
AMERICAN PASTRY.
Grated Cheese Rolled Into the Top
Crust Is Deiiclous-HoW to Make
Cream TartIets and Whole
Wheat Gems.

Mince Pie.-For one pie use half q
cupful of raw meat chopped very fine.
one cupful of sour apples chopped me-
dunn fine. quarter cupful OF seeded
raisins, one tablespoonful of dried cur
rants, one rounding tablespoonful Of
butter, half level teaspoonful each OF
salt and cinnamon, and quarter tea
spoonful of mace and cloves mixed:
one-quarter cupful of fruit juices
left from canned fruit, or, II this Is not
handy, use two tablespoonfuls Of
vinegar and two of water, with enough
sugar to sweeten. II desired, half a
cupful of currant jelly can DO used
with the vinegar and water. Spread in
pastry-lined tin, place crust on top.
or make strips Of the pastry instead.
and bake in moderately hot oven un-
til delicate brown. A delicious way
to combine cheese and pie is to add
to the pastry when rolling out table,
spoonful of grated rich American
cheese. This should only be used in
the pastry for the top crust or strips.
and not for the under one.
Cream .Tartlets.-Line eight or nine
small gem pans with pastry. Beat two
ounces of butter and two ounces of SUI
gar together till creamy; then add
two well-beaten eggs and two ounces
Of cake crumbs. Put heaping tea
spoonful of this into each pan, bake
Is minutes, and allow to cool. Whip
up one cupful Of cream, add sugar and
vanilla extract to taste, put thin
layer of red currant Jelly on each tart
let, then pile the whipped cream on
the top.
Whole Wheat Gems.-One quart
whole wheat flour, one quart water.
one tablespoonful melted shortening.
two tablespoonfuls sugar, two table
spoonfuls baking powder, pinch Of salt.
Beat thoroughly and put into hot,
creased gem pans. Bake 20 minutes
in hot oven.

keep. Volumes have been written regarding the
remarkable intelligence and judgment displayed
by the shepherd dogs of this and other countries
in mindng fiocks of sheep and thousands of dogs
are today doing mems work in this field. Similar
ly efficient service is performed very frequently
by dogs In assisting to drive cattle to market or
to the railroad yards and even In the more deli
cate work of rounding up poultry. Finally there
are hundred minor services as, for example, that
performed by the numerous farm dogs that have
been taught by their masters to meet the rural
free delivery carrier each day and to bring the
farm house the mail and the daily paper. This
is big timesaver for the farmer when as Is so
often the case the r. +. d. box is located con-
siderable distance from the dwelling.
Some persons have even predicted that the
time will come in America when of
farmers will employ dogs they do in Holland
and other foreign countries to draw the carts Of
milk to the creameries and do other work that we
now entrust to horses, but this prediction is not
generally accepted because of the great distances
involved in this country. However there is no
reason why the usefulness of intelligent CANNES
should not be still further developed and certain

communities the farmers are going to find dogs in

proven that there is no deterrent like dog that
looks as though he meant business for warning on
the Coy riders who wont to appropriate auto
mobiles that they find standing unguarded in the
reefs or In a market space or at a picnic.
All the above has reference, of course to the
value helpers on the farm, but this by no means
exhausts the possibilities of the subject. On an
increasing number of farms 1t has been found
that dogs can be made source of actual revenue.
This is accomplished by breeding booded dogs
for the market. 1t is of necessity side line"
to be sure, but 1t can be made most profitable

has the facilities for breeding dogs under the best
conditions without fraction of the investment
that would be required of a man who established
kennel on a tract of land used for no other pur-
pose. Moreover the farmers wife and children
can do most Of the work Of caring for the dogs.
just as they do in so many instances in the
Of the poultry There is not much danger that
1t will prove irksome either for there is nothing
more amusing than the average puppy, and he
does not a rule require that extreme solicitous

classes Of pet stock.
The species of dogs which may most advan-

Sour Cream.

; Sour milk and cream may be utilized
In making cottage cheese. griddle
cakes, etc. One-half cupful Of thick
sour cream added to a veal or beef
loaf when mixing makes 1t very moist
and unusually good.
Sour cream may also take the place
Of sweet milk in boiled dressings for
salads and sandwich filings. It is a
splendid substitute for sweet milk
when making chocolate or maple fudge
for candy or cake filling.
