u
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,
VOC 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. "a
NoTE-Biscuits or other pastries
made from stiff dough, that are cutinto
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
1eavening 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 10 bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re-
quires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
Have a strong underheat for baking
powder preparations, especially pastry.
These are only few of the many
baking helps found in the K c Cooks
Book-a copy of which may be secured
by sending the colored certificate taken
from 25-cert can of K c Baking Pow
der to the JAoUEs MIG. Co., Chicago.

HIS OPINION ON SUBJECT IN
LETTER TO SENATOR.

Bismarck N. D., Feb. 1T. s.
Palmer assistant chief of the bureau
of biological survey of the federal
government, is very much opposed to
the plan of reinstating the spring
shooting of geese in North Dakota, and
In letter to Sen. j. f. Stevens he
sets forth his opinion on that subject
quite clearly. The proposed amend
ment to the game law. allowing spring
shooting, comes before the senate on
favorable report from the game aud
fish committee. Mr.. Palmer's letter
on the subject follows:
Permit me TO say that, in my opin-
ion, the effort to allow shooting OF
wild fowl In spring in North Dakota
is most short sighted and extremely
detrimental to the best interests of
the state, The wild fowl form an
important asset of the state and may
be developed into a resource which
will bring i'm considerable revenue.
No provision could be devised which
would more certainly or more quickly
drive out the ducks and geese or pre-.
vent their increase than the proposal
60 allow shooting in the spring hen
the birds are mating and preparing
to nest
THE returns from last year show
that resident hunting licenses were
issued to 26.542 persons, or nearly
5 per cent of the entire population
of the state. These figures show
the large number of people interested
In game protection, and the import
ance of conserving the maximum num-
Der of birds. The act of 1909 was
one of the best game laws ever placed
on the statute books Of North Dakota,
and the beneficial results attending it
were Immediately shown in the in
creased number of water fowl which
same conditions prevailed in Montana
a few years ago upon the passage
of a statute protecting the birds in
spring. The federal government has
two national bird reserves
In North Dakota-one at Stump lake
and one at Chase lake to aid in
the increase in water fowl The re.
moval of protection from the birds
in spring will seriously interfere with
the success Of these reservations.
81 hope that under no circumstances
will the proposed amendment to tho
existing law be adopted
