No Actual Occupation Of TripoIi
as Yet

Powers to Help it Out Of Its
Troubles
TURKS IN NO HURRY

London, Oct 1--Out OF a maze OF
conflicting reports and rumors 1t 10
impossible at the present stage to
sift the grains Of truth concerning the
opening days of the Turco-Italian war.
1t appears even doubtful whether
there has been any actual occupation
of Tripoli, and 1t is practically certain
that there has been no bombardment
by the Italian warships
! II seems certain that the reported
destruction of the Turkish feet Is I'M
true. In fact, the only result of the
first three days hostilities, which can
be youched for, Is the destruction OF
the Turkish destroyers by the Duke
of the Abruzzi's ships off Prevesa.
The Tripoli cable is closely sealed, so
that it is impossible for outsiders to
learn what Is going on there.
The Ottoman government clearly ID
not in hurry, and the most signifi-
cant news of the day is the decision
Of the Turkish council again to appeal
to the powers, and in the mean time
suspend offensive measures. Late to-
night this new appeal had not reached
the British government, and there is
nothing to indicate that the attitude
Of the powers has changed. Accord
ing to the Daily Telegraph's Rome cor
respondent, however, Germany and
Austria have already made unofficial
representations to Italy of their dis
pleasure at her procedure, and If these
representations are ignored they Will
be followed in another shape by Thu
initiation to Italy"

a novelty. 1t is shaped like large can

boxes would answer quite as well as

To carve and carve we'll is one or the
fine arts Of social accomplishments. NO
mans or woman's education is complete
without a thorough knowledge of It's
intricacies. For the man OF family,
where the real home table is still main
tanned and the joint or fowl is carved at
table, it is an economic necessity that he
understand every branch of the art.
Where the carving is done in the kitchen,
as in many modern households. the waste
and shrinkage is infinitely greater than
by the old fashioned table service, and
with the advanced price of living this
IL most disastrous to a not too plethoric
pocketbook.
The first requisite of the carver is a
knowledge OF the anatomy of the fowl or
Joint that he is about to dissect The
second is sharp and appropriate knives
for the purpose and a platter in every way
adequate in size for the contents. He
may then proceed with fairly high hopes
of success.

CARVING ONE OF ARTS OF
SOCIAL ACCOMPL ISFIMENTS
First Things to Learn Concerning Carving.
Simple Rides to Be Followed
by Beginners.

|of serving. The forequarter is a little
more difficult to manage, for it is rather
an art to separate the shoulder from
the breast neatly, SO that the ribs may
be readily reached.
In pork carving perhaps the greatest
trial Of the carvers skill is in carving
the sucking pig, which is not as apt to
be met with as the hams. both cured
and fresh, are. A few very simple di-
rections may be sufficient.
First loosen the shoulder by running
the knife in a circular way about the
joint; then cut the leg in the same man.
ner. This leaves the ribs free and then
the task is easy, as all the meat is deli
cate and delicious.
Veal Joints.
Next are the popular veal joints, which.
perhaps. are the least complicated of all.
The shoulder is usually boned, then stuff
ed. SO to slice it is no trick at all. The
lOin. If the butcher knows his business,
has been divided so that the joints of the
bones are easily found, and with each
portion serve a bit of the kidney and
kidney fat that lies underneath this cut.
The carving of the breast of veal is not
dissimilar from that of the forequarter
of lamb. the first thing being to remove
the shoulder to reveal the ribs. The calf S
head is rarely served on American tables
whole, but is usually in soup or mode
dishes.
In beef roasts and joints the complica-
tions are not serious for the inexperienced
carver. He must develop his quick intui-
ton and learn to dodge skewers. If they
are the old wooden variety they are hard
to pull out, but the silver or steel ones
are easily removed with the fork or the
thumb and first finger of the right hand.
A rolled roast is the rib roast with the
ribs removed and the meat rolled, tied and
Skewered in place The fat is scored so
as to let the meat roll properly, and it is
simply carved by slicing across the top
from right to left, holding it firmly with
the carving fork well placed low on the
left side.
The standing rib roast is carved by
passing the knife slowly across the
heavy end to free the meat from the ribs
from right to left, then it is ready to
slice thiniy. If the roast is sirloin, it Is
a good idea for the carver to turn the
roast over and remove the under cut SO
as to serve slice with each slice of the
upper cut JEANETTE NORTON.

Lamb Carving.

After poultry, perhaps lamb carving in
its various phases is the next considera-
ton in the list of carvers' difficulties
The leg is perhaps more often met with
rs a popular family joint than the saddle,
loin or shoulder; the forequarter is a
bit more complicated and requires little
more thought and manipulation on the
part OF the carver. The leg, carefully
roasted. should be placed upon the dish
with the leg bone at the carver's left
hand. Place the carving fork little
to the left OF the center. over the bone,
to hold the meat firmly: then carve down
the center. first to the right. then to the
left, loosening the meat from the bone
by . sidewise motion of the knife Some
times the joint is served with the under
side uppermost. 30 that the fine-grained

Simple Rules.

The idea of this article is to present
the student with a few simple rules in
what might be called elementary carv-
ing, simple enough for. bhe beginner to
apply practically.
The art in carving turkey is to get
as many fine slices from the breast as
possible and to sever each joint at the
proper point deity and in the least time
possible, so that the guests do not grow
impatient and the other viands grow cold.
If the turkey has been properly trussed
and stuffed and roasted on it's breast in
stead Of it's back. SO that all the juices
run into the white meat, it should pre-
sent q plump and compact appearance
when placed before the carver with It's
legs at his right hand. The carver places
the fork firmly and securely across the
top of the breast bone, so as to have
complete control of the bird, and 1t
should not be removed during the opera
ton. He then sewers the leg at the hrst
Joint: then deity cuts out the second
joint; then removes the wing at the
shoulder joint and that leaves the entire
side ready for slicing.
After as many slices as possible have
been removed from the breast. narrow
slices from EACH side Of the space left
after the removal Of the second joint will
give enough dark meat to serve little
to each, with a spoonful of stuff1ng, which
may be released by sitting the apron.
which may have been sewed carefully to
into the pan while roasting.
II the sinews have been properly re-
moved from the legs by the butcher or
the home cook. the legs are proper to
serve. The wing should be severed at the
joint before serving. as it is hard joint
to manage on the plate. The meat may
be cut from the second joint before serv-
ing or served as a joint. as the carver
thinks best OF course. removing the neck
and turning in the skin with spoonful
Of stuffing in French fashion makes the
best looking bird when served and gives
greater slicing facility.
II both sides of the turkey are to be
used at the meal the carver need not re-
move the fork. but simply turn the bird
| toward him and grasp the fork with the
back of the hand uppermost. The larger
roasted chickens and ducks are carved in
practically the same manner. though the
| English method of carving the duck is to
| take as many slices from the breast as
possible, carving upward from the wing
| Joint before removing the wing. A tough
| fowl and an old goose are sad triers to a
caryer's patience and skill as well as t6
| his temper. but, if the usual rules are fol-
lowed, these obstacles may be overcome
with practice and perseverance.

THE TEA TABLE,.
Sandwiches and Cakes to Serve With
Afternoon Tea.

Among the new sandwiches which
English hostesses are serving with an
afternoon tea," says the young woman
who knows, there are. some recipes new
to the majority of Americans"
A slight scrape of honey on buttered
bread is one novelty, another being gold
en- strip used in the same sparing FASH
ion. Another sweet sandwich, which is
said to have scored great success. is
bread literally buttered with an inter-
mediary wafer-thin slice of gingerbread.
This says a thrifty Englishwoman,
Thin currant bread and butter is exceed
ingly popular, while among the savory
filings are all sorts of potted and pound
ed pastes. A new one is shrimp or
salmon paste with a wafer-thin slice of
cucumber or pickle.
A pretty fringed or lace-edged dolly is
laid on every plate of sandwiches. while
plain bread and butter is served without
a dolly.
Even in summer hot cakes or toast
finds abundant appreciation, and, of
course, a; this season they are espe-
cially popular. If toast is served 1T is
literally buttered, and brown bread toast
is considered more of treat than the
white. Toasted scenes are delightful, and
rock cakes or biscuit are always popular.

The CAREY PROJECT

Elsewhere in this issue is pub
lished communication from the
Carey Land Act Board concerning
the progress of the Carey project
north and west of town. To those
who are familiar with the history
of the Carey project in general
throughout Montana, the inform
alton conveyed by the communica-
ton is not startling. The written
record of the numerous Carey pro
jects is nothing less than failure
from beginning to end as far as
any actual benefit either to the
settler or the state. OF the half
million acres segregated under
these various projects less than
ten Thousand acres have been re-
claimed. While thousands of peo-
pie are clamoring for land upon
which to build homes, vast stretch
es of territory are being withheld
from settlement, mainly for the
reason that few visionary promo
ters and land sharks possess enough
pull with general government to
prevent a speedy report. 1t will
be remembered that the land un-
der the Musselshell project was Sc
gregated two and One-half years
ago. Yet we are informed that
there has been no report on this
project. 1t might here be added
that if this project is ever approx
ed the Carey Board will allow the
promoters to persue the same dila-
tory tactics used by the promoters
of other projects in the state. 1t
is the consensus of opinion that
the water supply on the Mussel
shell is not sufficient, as the waters
of the stream have never been ad
judicated and water rights many
times the amount that actually
flows in the Musselshell have beer
filed. Furthermore much of the
land segregated under the Mussel
shell project is inaccessible to wat
er, the cost of constructing can
ais and reservoirs making the entir,
project impracticable. This mat
ter should be taken up with Mont

BOOST FOR MERINO COUNTY

Why should the residents of
eastern Meagher county be longer
compelled to do business at
county seat that is on branch
road and virtually inaccessible?
The assessors returns will soon be
made up. We will then possess
the financial qualification to create
a new county. Let us do it. We
have outgrown our toddling cloth
es. Montana now has twenty-nine
counties. Let us add the thirtieth
star to the already brilliant galaxy.
The creation of Merino county
will mean direct saving of thous-
ands of dollars to the residents OF
eastern Meagher county annually.
Geographically speaking no county
in the state is more favorably To-
Gated than Merino will be. Bound
ed on three sides by natural bar
riers it will cover the most favor
able part of the great Musselshell
basin, and as an agricultural and
stock growing region will be Sec
ond to none in Montana. Touched
as if by magic by the hand of the
farmer it is destined to become
one of the granaries of the north
west. We can meet all the quail
fications of the law for a new coun.
ty. We possess every requisite
that goes toward the building OF
one of the foremost counties in the
state. Our people are progressive
and Industrious and imbued with
a spirit that will rapidly put Meri'
