TIGHTENING WORK
IN THE KITCHEN
BY MISS ALICE LOOMS.
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Building of a new house or remod,
cling an old one is a great opportunity
Tor the housekeeper, but one that is
rare. The task Of improving condi-
lions with but little expense, of max.
Ing work lighter with few means is a
far greater task, but also a more com
mon one. The two ever-present prob.
lens are those Of cooking and of clean,
ing. The housekeeper is often so
pressed by work that she does not
stop to think of possible means of
tightening these labors.
Every kitchen should have some
means for cooking food quickly as
well as for carrying out the long slow
processes. Where gas is used. a fire
less cooker is needed to supplement
it. There is no fuel so economical for
long periods as coal, and yet the eff
cheney of the coal range for a small
amount of cooking is decidedly low.
If only a small part of the top of the
range is used, over ninety per cent of
the heat of the coal is lost. For this
reason it is more economical to use
as much of the range at once as DOS
sible. Many foods are most satisfac-
torily prepared by slow cooking.
The advantages Of the casserole or
its substitute, an ordinary heavy milk
crock, are being much appreciated to-
day. There is scarcely a limit to the
number of foods that may be prepared
IN the oven with little attention from
the housekeeper if she used these
heavy utensils. Apples may be cored
and placed in a milk crock, sugar and
spices sprinkled over them, and an
inch or two of water poured in beside
them to prevent burning.
Even the toughest cut of meat will
be tender if cooked for several hours
in the oven. The flavor will be i'm
proved if the meat is first well scared
on top Of the stove and then placed in
the casserole with small amount of
water. Vegetables, either fresh or
those from previous meals, NAV be
placed around the meat, the time for
cooking vegetables depending upon
the kind and whether they have been
cooked before, but 1t always takes
longer to cook vegetables in this way
than when boiling in water upon the
stove.
If the work is planned so as to have
most Of the cooking done in the morn
ing, the range fire should be allowed
to go out and the kitchen given a
chance to cool off in the afternoon

INDIGNANT AT THE INJUSTICE
Much-LoVed Teacher Not Get
ting Her Rights.

The following incident told of a
public school teacher of CHEEKY man
ner and marked ability, noted for her
success in leading backward or I'M
willing pupils along the rocky road to
knowledge.
In laboring with an especially try
ing class she was wont to encourage
the members by such confident re-
marks as "Of course we can do it,"
"Of course we can learn this lesson as
well as other people, if we try!" AS
examination time drew near and the
little ones became more nervous, she
changed her tune to "Of course we're
going to pass!" The children did pass,
duly, but, natural pleasure in the I'M
expected success having evaporated,
were sulky and disagreeable almost
beyond belief It took their new
teacher long time to get at the root
of the misunderstanding, over which
they whispered in corners and be-
cause of which they treated her like
a bitter enemy. At last, however, she
drew from the most pliable youngster
this indignant, fearful admission:
1--WE amt a-goin' ter study no more
in this darned ole school Here, we
come up from Miss Blanks room, an
she stays down there all alone, when
she knows so much more than We do,
It's a plumb shame that they didnt
let her pass. tool"

Actors With Business Sense

ued Mr.. Palmer, that Lolita owes
her great fortune to the business
shrewdness of her mother. Well, her
mother is a very shreWd woman, but
she has 2 very capable scholar in her
little daughter, Charlotte Crabtree.
Lolita understands the art of economy
and of saving better than any profes-
sional woman l ever saw. She knows
the value of a dollar and she knows
the value Of a cent, and makes every
penny count. Moreover, it was into
sner own little head that there came
the realization that for a woman land
and buildings upon it are the best in
yestment, provided the investor
knows when and how to buy. She
has invested great amounts of money
in real estate in Boston and in New
York, and the clever little woman who
used to have every one crying when
she played Little Nell and uproarious-

was accustomed to rise a. o'clock
in the morning. Each had upon a lit
tie table by his bedside a grammar of
some foreign language Half an hour
of the early morning speni in study
of that grammar made Rufus Choate
one Of the greatest masters of Greek
and Latin the modern world has ever
known. Half an hours study before
breakfast made General Gushing
master of the Continental languages,
so far as reading them was concerned,
and as he has a wonderfully quick ear
he was able, afto- a few months
travel in Europe, speak like a ma
tive the language he had learned to
read in the quiet of his bedroom.
"Lik~ both these men, l studied
languages on arising in the morning.
before was compelled to take up my
bread-and-butter duties. Like General
Gushing, I visited Europe early in my
study of languages, to learn how to
speak the languages of that continent
properly. And l will say to you that
if you have an inclination to know the
modern languages of the classics then
steal half an hour-yes, even fifteen
minutes-a day from your pleasures
or your sleep, and you may, if you
have an Unborn capacity for Ian
guages, master as many languages as
l have done"

While She Was in Boston, Thinking
OF Her Husband, He Saw Her
at the Door of His Study
in AndoVer.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was
probably as free from any faint of
superstition as any woman who has
gained even great or trifing reputa-
ton as a writer was able to confess
herself to be. She was fond Of some
of the magic toys, especially one
which was very popular some forty
years ago called planchette, This,
the superstitious asserted, was oper-
ated through supernatural control of
the fingers or palm of any one who
demonstrated its magic powers. Mrs.
Stowe was confident, however, that
the motion of planchette was wholly
due 10 certain unconscious physical or
muscular movements of the player
whose hand was upon the little toy.
But there was one experience which
Mrs. Stowe had which she was never
able to explain. 1t occurred at time
when she was living at Andover,
Mass, her husband, Rev. DR.. Calvin
Stowe, being then professor in the

Pruning Trees.

The Washington station says that
there can be no fixed rule for prun-
ing. Every tree is a rule unto itself
and no two trees can always be
pruned exactly the same. Trees that
have dense, upright habit or growth,
like the Wagner, Rome Beauty, etc,
should be cut to strong, outer buds, in
order to spread the naturally narrow
compact top. The low-headed tree has
many advantages over the high-headed
tree. AS a rule, no apple tree should
be permitted to start it's head far
Their than Is inches from the ground.
A tree with more than Is inches of
stem places its fruiting plane almost
entirely out Of reach of the average
man for thinning, ETC. In the produc-
ton of fancy and fTst-class fruit, or
chardists must keep the fruit planes
of their trees within easy reach of
the ground for thinning, spraying and
harvesting.

ing more than she is producing and
gives him a chance to avoid loss due
to poor COWS and the perpetuation OF
this loss in the herd.
Farm separators are very common
in Wisconsin, but the ordinary man
finds it difficult to have the milk at
the right temperature in order not to
lose butter fat. He also finds it diff
fcult to run the machine at the prop
er speed. In this way much butter fat
is lost in the skim milk This should
not be over, .05 Of one per cent, but
in actual cases it is often as much as
IL per cent. This means a loss to
the farmer of from one to two dollars
per COW every year. This is more
than enough to pay for the installing
and running of a Babcock tester, by
the use of which all losses of butter
fat can be discovered. If you know
that your separator is not Swimming
clean, you can remedy the trouble.

The Woman Did It

l have concluded say it at the
risk of being called unchivalrous-that
If you trace the quarrels to their be-
ginning you will find that in most in
stances 1t was the woman who opened
the way for the final disagreement.
1nfelicity usually starts in the fact
that either the man or wife fails to
make allowances for the others short
comtngs. And, though l will not make
myself so ridiculous as to say that all
women are lacking in this respect. vet
it is my opinion, born of close obserya-
ton, that. of the domestic snarls that
reach court, the majority might have
been avoided had the young wives
more freely exercised those wonderful
peace conservators = understandings,
consideration, trust, liberal reasoning.
To say that the woman is all to
blame would be unfair; to contend
that she is usually responsible for the
final tragedy would be untrue. None
denies that in most court cases it is
the man who does the deserving, who
resorts to violent mistreatmert who

there, and make the sheep look what
is commonly known among sheep men
as ewe-necked.
Beginning, then, on the top of the
shoulder, the wool should be cut so
that the back will show a straight
line ending with neat quarter-circle
to the dock. The leg-of-mutton should
be neatly rounded out and back, from
the tail head to the round part of the
leg. The loose wool around the hook
is then clipped a little so that the leg
shows round and full. Then start on
the left shoulder and get straight
side line, always clipping with the
shears points upward, as this makes
a smoother surface. If you can use the
shears left-handed, trim the right side
similarly; if not, you will have to trim
from the thigh forward to the shout
der.
When the sides look smooth and
straight, begin on the under side of
the jaw and trim back in a neat
curve downward, and then round out
the breast and forward parts of the
SQOulO0IS Will d Aull u6SD curve. Inc
corners between the breast and sides
may then be rounded smoothly. The
forearm should be left full and the
neck rounded smoothly in with the
shoulders. Finish by smoothing the
top of the neck forward to the head.
You then have sheep that will at
tract the eyes of fair visitors and buy
ers; and if the sheep has proper form
of body, the sale is made, or the prize
is won.
Some people object to the trimming
of sheep as being somewhat of a de-
ception. This is the wrong idea. A
neatly trimmed sheep deceives no
one; the judges do not depend on the
appearance to aid in judging the form,
but the neatness of the sheen is one
of the factors considered in awarding
the prizes. Furthermore. no horse
breeder would think of taking his prize
animal to the fair with coat rough and
dirty, or with tail and name tangled
and untrimmed. instead, show horses
