The days are here when the aver

self is put upon her mettle as mar
keter. Gone for the most part are the
tender peas, beans and tomatoes that
made the summer bill of fare SO easy
to plan. Sweet corn is no more. and
the shrinkage In possibilities seems
general.
Onions we have always with us,
however, and they are excellent In
other ways besides plain boiled or
fried, as they commonly figure in the
household plan. For instance. they
can be stuffed, the sweet Bermuda
onions being specially good for the
purpose. Here is one popular formula.
Large specimens are selected and
boiled until nearly tender but not
quite so. The inside Is taken out,
leaving just SHE'LL Mince the part
taken out with three cooked sausages,
hard-boiled egg. two tablespoonfuls
OF bread crumbs, seasoning as liked,
an ounce Of butter, four drops Of ta-
basco and little minced parsley. The
Shells are filled with this mixture,
cracker crumbs scattered over the top,
a tiny bit of thin bacon is put on each,
after which they are baked 80 min
utes, or until agreeably soft.
Potatoes, the dependable, will figure
henceforward more than they
have done during the past
months of abundance. They have
the culinary virtue of being in
f1nitely variable. For instance, when
boiled and baked and fried. they have
become a little wearisome and the
homely tubers are no longer young
enough to carry a sauce gracefully
try them baked with eggs. For mod
crate sized dish in this style you will
need four cold-boiled potatoes and six
hard-boiled eggs, all cut in slices about
a fourth of an inch thick.
Put layer of the potatoes IN the
baking dish, which must be well but
tered, seasoning with salt, or salt and
pepper, cover with layer of the eggs.
Repeat this and pour over the result
two cups of thin white sauce. Cover
with cracker crumbs soaked In butter
and bake until brown on top. This Is
substantial autumn dish
For those to whose digestions the
sturdy sausage filling would be ana
thema, this more delicate method may
appeal
Cook and scoop out the vegetables
as before. but stuff with filling made
OF equal parts Of chicken (cooked), +,
soft stale bread crumbs and the re-
moved part Of the onions. This should
be slightly seasoned with salt and
pepper If liked, and is to be moisten-
ed with little cream or melted but

butter and bake as described above.

down to Az feet on the back. A roost-
ing closet, in front of which Is hung
muslin curtain, must be provided In
one end for winter use. This curtain
should be hung upon a rod supported
by cleats SO that 1t may be removed in
summer when the curtain is not
needed.
A fixed or permanent laying house
for farm flock may be constructed about
as follows: The building should be IA
feet wide and as long as Is necessary
to provide IL feet compartments which
will hold 40 to so hens each. The
partitions between these compart-
ments may be made Of netting. This
building should have long and short
slope roof about feet high on the
front and Az feet on the rear. In the
front a window, covered with one-inch
netting, open the year around, will
furnish ample ventilation and light
Perches should be put in at the rear
over dropping board, in front Of
which is hung the muslin curtain to
be dropped in severely cold weather to
conf1ne the heat from the bodies Of
the fowls into small space. Suf1-
cient ventilation will be secured in the
roosting compartment through the
muslin.

material for the floor of house for

be at least six inches deep upon firm

Poultry can be made to pay a much
larger return on most farms with good
winter management. since the fowls
consume much feed that would other
wise be wasted. During the summer
farm poultry keeping is comparatively
easy, and the fowls earn a good liv-
ing and give profitable returns in
growth and eggs. but during the win
ter periods the farm flock is often
poorly cared for and returns are far
less than they should be under slight
ly improved methods. A small flock,
rightly managed, will lay more eggs
than several hundred hens allowed to
roam free, hunting for their living
with the exception of an occasional
feed of whole corn or table scraps.
When laying hens crowd into draughty
stables or under the corn crib for
shelter, the egg crop is bound to be
short.
Colony House system,
The best poultry house for the aver
age farmer is a small movable col
ony house. VIII ch Will accommodate 25
to 80 hens as laying flock. The
advantages OF the movable house are
that it is more sanitary, particularly in
summer, when it can be dragged about
fields and cleaning is made unneces-
sary. Fowls are given an increased
range over new territory each time
the house is moved. Less poultry
feed is needed to keep the fowls In
active condition and the benefits Of
the birds as insect destroyers may
be secured by bringing the movable
house into the orchard. During win
ter the movable house Is less advan-
tageous, but by locating 1t on a warm
south slope and providing ample space.
1t serves this purpose fully as we'll as

ment for summer chick raising, and
with slight notifications may be made
to serve for winter use. This house
is 8x12 feet on the floor, which Is of
matched hard pine laid upon two
AKA inch runners. 1t Is sided on studs
with plain mill lumber and where used
only for summer colonies no lining is
required. Where such house is used
in the winter, it should be we'll lined
so that it Is perfectly air tight on
all sides, except the front, where the
open windows are placed. The house

that there is at least one nest for each
six hens. Make the top and sides sep.
arate from the bottom, so that II
may be removed and easily cleansed.
Such nests should be taken out at
least once a month and thoroughly
cleaned. The sloping top is neces.
sary to prevent the hens roosting
upon the nest.
