HEAT IN THE OVEN.

Always keep the stove clear from

A hotter oven is required for
bread, rolls and sponge cake, when
mixed with water, than when milk
is used.
When cake rises in a point and
cracks open, the oven is too hot.

SOME SIMPLE CAKE RECIPES
AND ECONOMICAL DESERTS.
Orange Layer Cake.

Cream three tablespoons of but
ter with two cups of sugar, add the
beaten yolk of four eggs, the juice
and half the grated rind of an
orange, and three scant cups of -four
Or enough for batter thick enough
to just drop from the spoon, sifted
with two teaspoons of baking pow
der. Last of all fold in the beaten
whites Of three eggs. Bake in layer
tins. For the filing, beat the whites
of two eggs very stiff with one cup
full Of powdered sugar; add the juice
and half the grated peel of an
orange. Whip to a soft cream, and
spread between layers when cold.
Boiled frosting may be used if pre-
ferred.
Gingerbread With Fruit.
One teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon
of ginger, one large tablespoon of
lard. Put these into a saucepan,
with half a pint of water and half a
pint of New Orleans molasses, place
it on the stove until it is quite warm.
Then add sifted -four, enough to
make nice batter, about as thick as
for pop-overs, pour into buttered
tins and bake Is minutes. BY adj
ding half cupful of seeded raisins
and one cup of currents, dredged
well in -four, and one scant teaspoon
each of cinnamon and cloves, you
will have very good and cheap
fruit cake.
TwO-Egg Cake.
Separate 2 eggs and beat 1-2 cup
of sugar into the yolks and IL cup
into the whites. Put the yolks and
whites together after sugar has been
stirred in. Add salt and heaping
teaspoon of baking powder and fla
vor. Then boil IL cup of milk and
2 teaspoons of butter together and
pour this into the mixture. This
will make very thin batter, but it
will be all right. Bake in a slow
oven.

THE BEST STOCK POWDER ON
EARTH.

For horses, to keep them hearty,
their hair smooth, and as a proven
tative of any praventable disease,
there is nothing that l have ever
seen that will equal just plain salt
and ashes, wood ashes, not coal
ashes. tut two or three parts ashes
to one of salt, add water to wet it
up like dough, and pu1 it in the end
Of the mcnCeT farthest from the
door, and let it stay there. 1t will
not be long until you will have to
renew it, as you will find the horse
has clicked" it all away After it
dries, it is very hard, nearly as hard
as q brick, but the horse likes it,
and when standing in the stable, he
enjoys eating it, and it will prevent
most anything of an internal disease.
It is fully as good for COWS and
sheep. II salt and ashes are kept
where the COWS can have free access
to it, in this hardened form, there
will very rarely, if ever be any form
of Indigestion. And [ find the horse
and the COWS very much like the hui
man species, if you keep the diges-
ton good, there is very little else
going to get wrong. And, as to what
salt and ashes will do for the hog,
if he has it in abundance, not in his
feed, but where he can get it when
ever he wants to, his feed will do
him as much again good, he will
thrive SO much better, and if you
are fattening him, feeding him all
he will eat, he will lay on fat ever SO
much faster. If there is charcoal
plenty in the ashes, SO much the bet
ter, for the hog loves charcoal. 1t
is surprising to the notice how much
charcoal a hog will eat.
There is no better "stock POWDER"
condition POWDER" "stock medi-
cine" and one that every one can
have at home.
Then for poultry, there is nothing
that can surpass charcoal we'll beat
en- and mixed in their feed. See
how quickly lot of droopy, sleepy
chicks or turks will respond to it.
See how quickly they will wake up
and brighten up, and look lively.
And as for broody hens, they
should hava charcoal every day.
Their eating only once day, they
sometimes will gorge themselves too
much, and l have known it to sour
and swell in their crops and cause
sickness, even death, said to be

a simple Indigestion, and it all could
have Deen prevented by giving
"biddy" a chance at pan of pulver-
lied charcoal, or better still, have

the hens will pick in the place where

BORROWED RECIPES.
Fudge.

Fudge.
2 Scant cups granulated sugar, 1
full cup of milk, IL square from
cake Of bitter chocolate, butter the
size Of a walnut. This contains more
milk and less sugar than the ordi-
nary recipe and will make creamier
candy. Put on the milk and sugar
over a slow fire or in cool part Of
the stove and shave in the chocolate
A suspicion of salt takes away the
too sweet taste. Heat may be gradu-
ally increased as the candy begins
to boil. Stir occasionally. Just be-
fore it is done put in the butter.
Drop a little candy into a glass of
cold water and if it forms a soft ball
take it off the stove, set the kettle
in a dishpan of cold water, and stir
until candy begins to grow solid.
Then put it on a buttered plate,
smoothing it down with a spoon, or
if necessary with the fiat of the
hand, and just before it is hard cut
into squares with a buttered knife.
Chopped nuts may be added in stir
ring and drop of vanilla if desired.
When the fudge is nearly done the
bubbles grow larger, and it is not
necessary to try it until this hap
pens. If there is an aluminium Or
marble table in the kitchen, pour
the fudge out upon the table and
stir it there. This quick cooling
makes it as smooth as opera creams,
but necessftates the help of another
person with knife or cake turned to
keep it from running off on the
floor.
Divinity.
Fudge has a new rival in the af-
fections of the schoolgirl. It is one
of the new white-of-egg candies
called divinity. 2 cups of sugar, IL
cup water, 12 cup corn syrup, 1-2
teaspoonful of salt, white of an egg,
l cup chopped nuts Cook all the
ingredients except the egg together
until they form a soft ball in cold
water. Then take off and pour slow
ly over the whate of egg, which
should be beaten up stiff on a plat
ter. Beat all together until it be-
gins to harden, and spread it out on
a sheet of clean waxed paper. Cut
into squares and let cool.
Walnut Kisses.
Another white-of-egg candy is the
following: IL cup water. 1-2 cup
corn syrup, cups of granulated su-
gar, whites of two eggs, l cup
chopped walnuts. Put the water on
cold and let it come to a boil. Then
add the syrup, and when this has
come to boil add the sugar. Then
mix in the well-beaten whites of the
eggs and the walnuts. When the
candy forms hard bah in cold
water take it from the stove and
drop with spoon upon waxed pa
per.
Butter Scotch.
l pound brown sugar, 4 table
spoos molasses, butter the size of an
egg, l teaspoon of vinegar. Mix the
butter and sugar and put on the
stove to melt. When melted add the
molasses, and when this boils the
vinegar When it forms hard ball
in cold water pour in buttered tins
and put in cool place. Just before
it is hard cut into squares.
Popcorn Balls, or CrackerJack.
Boil one pint New Orleans molas-
ses and three-quarters cup of sugar
until it forms hard ball in cold
water. Pour over pan of freshly
popped corn and mix thoroughly. If
