about three feet high, and each one
long enough to accommodate at least
a dozen fowls without crowding.
Placed side by side, rather than one
above the other, they assure perfect
cleanliness. They can be easily re-
moved from the house for cleaning
and treatment with lime, emulsion or
lye. With smooth board floor this
allows chance for cleaning the hem
house perfectly; and l have found it
a good plan to give the house such a
cleaning twice a week.
The next boxes are also removable,
so as to allow thorough cleaning
and change of straw, the old being
burned.

Killed by Kindness.

More brooder chicks are killed by
kindness than die of any other COM
plant. A chick that is little hun
cry will take exercise sufficient to
keep in good health. Make your ra-
tion for chicks about one-third
cracked cane seed. and you will not
have much bowel trouble, and sprinkle
the floor of the brooder with good
clean sand every day or two.

SOFT GINGER COOKIES
OLD RECIPE WORTH RETAINING
IN THE MEMORY.
Cleveland Claims It as Its Own, but
Rightly It Should Belong to
All the World, So
Here II Is.

Years ago Cleveland had WON
ans exchange" where the good cooks
of the city brought doughnuts and
bread and baked beans and other
good things that they excelled in
making. The ginger cookies they
sold have left fragrant. lasting men,
ory behind them; no one ever speaks
of the Repository" as 1t was called,
without saying do you remember the
ginger cookies we used to buy there?"
A Euclid avenue store still sells GIN
ger cakes made over the old recipe:
little cakes that are moist and soft
and dark with spice and syrup and
rich with butter, but sells them at a
price that is prohibitive to even Eu-
ciid avenue residents.
A stroke of good luck has sent the
original recipe to me, and now we can
all have feast of Cleveland's ginger
cakes:
Two cups of dark New Orleans mo-
lasses. one cup of white sugar, one
half cup of melted butter or butter
and dripping melted together. (The
dripping is superior to butter in gin,
ger cakes, most persons think.) One
cup of sour milk or buttermilk. two
eggs. two level teaspoons of soda, one
level teaspoonful of salt, one rounded
teaspoon of ginger and one of CHINA
mon.
Beat the shortening with the sugar,
add the spices and the molasses,
then the beaten eggs. Put the soda in
the sour milk and add it with enough
sifted flour to make cake batter.
Bake in gem pans or in muffin tins
In moderate oven about fifteen min
utes. AS these are very rich they
must be baked as carefully as a layer
or pound cake.
Beside the ginger cakes there used
to be ginger snaps that really snap
ped and melted in ones mouth in
stead Of tasting like bill-sticker's
PASTE" says my informant, and she
kindly includes directions for making
them
Boil a pint OF good New Orleans
molasses, one cup Of light brown
sugar, two-thirds of a cup of lard or
drippings and one tablespoon of dark
ground ginger into deep granite
saucepan and boil until the mixture
thcikens considerably. Remove from
the stove and cool slightly, then add
heaping teaspoon of soda dissolved
In half cup Of tepid water. Cover
until cool. then mix in enough sifted
-four to make a soft dough. Roll
very thin, cut and bake in a mod
crate oven"
Bakers Of ginger cakes and cookies
will find that there is a great differ
ence in molasses; 1t used to be that
one could send for black" molasses,
or New Orleans syrup and use what
the grocer sent with best results; now
1t is difficult to buy good cooking
syrup. 1t is either thin and light and
without flavor or 1t is really black,
strong and heavy. The proper syrup
for use in ginger bread and with 9th.
er concoctions containing soda is
dark brown in color but bright and
clear and thick. 1t is difficult to buy
molasses in bulk in Cleveland, as 1t
is packed in cans under dealers la.
bells. and 1t is impossible to always
find the same uniform quality under

Telling Sex of Eaas.

There is no possible way Of deter
mining sex Of eggs. Mapes very
truthfully says that the best way to
tell whether an egg contains a rooster
or pullet Is to hatch the egg under
a hen, and watch the chick for about
year-if 1t crows 1t is rooster; If
1t lays eggs, 1t is a pullet.

GETTING Most Money.

It Is not the great number of fowls
we raise that brings most money, but
the ones we can comfortably care for.
1t takes food and labor to care for
poultry. Twenty hens properly cared
for will give better returns than 100
only half fed and poorly housed.

WONDERFUL JOURNEY OF \
BOTTLE,

Many a person has written mes
sage and placed it in bottle which
he threw into some body of water,
curious as to where it would be car
ried. Instances are on record where
these bottles have travelled long dis
tances, and one of them has recently
come to the notice of those interested
in such things.
While visiting in California recently
Charles Collins. of 504 Phillips street,
Toledo. Ohio, picked up a bottle from
Coronado Bay, near San Diego, Cal,
and upon examination it proved to
contain a message from Miss Nora
Lea, of 1O4 Gray street. Louisville,
Ky, written nearly five years previ-
Gus.
Miss Lea dropped the tightly corked
bottle into the Ohio river at Louis
vile. and the only way 1t could reach
the coast of California would be for
1t to float down the Ohio to the Mis-
sissippi, and from that river into the
Gulf of Mexico, and then out into the
Atlantic ocean and across that body
into the Indian ocean, and then into
and across the wide Pacific until il
was washed up on the coast of Cali
fornia.
The bottle was making a great ef-
fort to go around the world. 1t was
headed toward the starting point. Mr.
Collins sent the contents of the bottle
to Miss Lea, who prizes the paper
very highly.

fact that the country districts have
learned that they could easily afford
longer terms.
Equipment and Facilities.
In the matter of equipment and
improvements, our schools have been
making great progress" declares the
superintendent. Comfortable desks.
proper heating and ventilating ar
rangements, excellent blackboards.
and many minor necessities are now
the rule and not the exception in the
rural schools of Umatilla couty. Dur
ing the past year we have greatly i'm
proved the conditions in our country
schools, due directly to the work Of
the two rural supervisors.
There has been a considerable in
crease in the school revenues due to
the greater willingness of the people
to tax themselvs for school purposs,
declares the superintendent. The fund
raised by special district taxes has
grown 552 per cent or from $20,352,-
q to $127,643.91 during the past
eight years, the report states.
School directors and clerks are
much more business like than for

Welles gives credit largely to the su
pervisors whose advice and counsel
have prevented friction and misunder-
standing.
