Breakfast Dishes.

Most housekeepers will agree that
breakfast IL the most dificult meal to
provide variety. Here are few un'
usual dishes which may suggest 9th.
ers and thus furnish q change.
Bacon serambis.-Fry several slices
Of bacon until about half done: drain
on part Of the fat, and add six eggs
well beaten: stir constantly until well
cooked. A little grated onion may be
added for flavor. Season while cook
ing.
Southern 0uck~hsat Cakss-Four
cupfuls OF buckwheat flour sifted. one
half a compressed yeast cake dis.
solved In little lukewarm water. one
full OF molasses. Mix with enough
warm water to make a thin batter and
set to rise over night.
For a breakfast fruit. grape fruit is
one that is both appetizing and me-
dicinal: fresh apple or one baked
and served with cream is another good
dish. Stewed prunes. or few dates
steamed with the oatmeal are another
favorite combination.
Goldfish BaIis.-Take a cup OF shred.
ed Goldfish, after soaking. two cups OF
mashed potatoes. one beaten egg. one
and a half teaspoonfuls Of butter. pep
per to taste. Mold into cakes three
fourths OF an inch thick and saute in
bacon fat. Serve poached egg on
each and garnish with fried bacon.
The omelet Is a breakfast dish that
should have a chapter to itself. az
they are legion. However. all omelets
are only variations Of the plain ONE
let.
Beat three eggs. whites and yolks
separately: add three tablespoonfuls
Of water to the beaten yolks. season
with salt and pepper. cut and fold in
the white and turn into q smoking hot
omelet pan that has been well but
tered. Lower the heat at once. and
when the bottom Is Drowned. set In
the oven to finish the top. Cut the

POULTRY NOTES.

In feeding either sweet or sour milk
be sure the troughs are clean.
Nests should be kept comparative
Iy dark and as clean as possible.
Turkeys should not be allowed to
roost in the poultry house with chick
ems.
Bright red combs and wattles usu-
ally Indicate a thrifty and healthy
flock.
Make the laying hens feel comfort
able and contented. and they will do
better.
Plenty of sunlight is essential In
poultry quarters. Darkness is con-
ducive to disease.
DO you keep an egg record? Begin
now II you have never done 1t before.
Set down the number you get every
day.
All chickens that contract stubborn
or contagious disease should be killed
II they do not yield to treatment with
reasonable ease.
sloppy mashes are not good for
feeding chickens continually, and II
used excessively will lead to weak
ened constitutions and disease among
the flock
Train your fowls to run towards
YOU instead of running from you with
fright every time you come around. 1t
is more pleasurable. and also pays In
dollars and cents.
Beginners should not start by try
ing to raise several different kinds of
poultry. Better confine the efforts to
one variety. and then have those
strictly first-class.
Nearly all the successful poultry
raisers make q speciality Of only one
or two varieties. They fnd that
course is moro profitable than to ex-
periment with q half dozen or more
breeds.
Many who embark in poultry rails
ing think It 10 only = pleasant pas
time. Those who are experienced.
however. know that. like any other
profitable industry. It requires skiu
and experience. With these Qualinca-
tions there b money in II most sure.
