SUGAR TO PRESERVE MEAT.

Last June l wanted to keep a hog
which weighed 200 pounds and having
heard that sugar was good preserva-
tive, and experimental some on
small scale before concluded l would
risk a formula of my own. Two
thirds salt and one third granulated
sugar is the proportion L used and
after trimming the meat to suit 1t
was cut up in small pieces OF two or
three pounds each and packed as
closely as possible in ten gallon jar.
AS | packed it / rubbed every piece
we'll with the sugar-salt mixture and
filled up all crevices with the same.
I used no water at all and put 1t
down as dry as possible. By its
strong affinity for water, the sugar
and salt. Chi lied the meat as it drew
the water out, the brine soon covering
all of the meat. We used of it three
or four months. taking out piece at

VARIOUS WAYS OF USING
MARSHMALLOWS.

are things to be enjoyed, when roast
Ell Over the Goals of the summer camp
fire or over the coy home fire in mid
wilter, but they are something more
valuable than mere candies to the
housewife who knows how to make
them serve in various emergencies.
When serving cocoa and there is no
ere IN, or no time to whip it, drop
about four marshmallows into each
cup and pour the boiling cocoa over
them. They will come to the top as
light and dainty as bit of whipped
cream, though not quite as puffy or
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-15

fluffy. The flavor is delightful. If
something is wanted to serve with a
cup of cocoa to caller put marsh
mallow or two on thin wafer, or
unsweetened cracker. with tiny bit
Of butter on each "mallow. Place
in a hot oven until the marshmallow
spreads and slightly browns.
Half a pound of marshmallows
mixed lightly with cupful of cream
whipped stiff makes delicious dish
to serve with cake. Flavor the cream
with vanilla or whatever is liked.
Pile lightly in glasses and serve with
a strawberry, cherry or other preserv-
ed fruit on top. An extra touch is
given by lining the glass with shred
ded pineapple, sliced banana, peaches
or other fruit before filling with the
cream. A similar dish is made by
making a jelly with any of the gelatine
preparations and mixing broken
marshmallows through it when cool
enough that it will not melt them.
A fine filling for cake is made as
follows: Put one fourth cupful of
milk and three ourths cupful of
sugar together and bring to boiling
heat and let boil six minutes. While
this is cooking put one-fourth OF
pound of marshmallows IN a basin
and melt; add two tablespoonful OF
boiling water and cook until smooth.
Add the syrup slowly, beating con-
stantly. Flavor with vanilla and beat
until cool enough to spread. The
above makes good icing as we'll as
filling, but for those who prefer to
make the plain boiled icing it is worth
while to know that few marsh
mallows pulled to pieces and beaten
into the icing while hot las soon as
the syrup is poured over the egg
will make it of fine texture and keep
it from cracking when cut. Ten or a
dozen marshmallows in the icing for
an average size cake.

NOW LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP.
By Katharine Dangerfield.

By Katharine Dangerfield.
Day was done. and was sitting
Dreaming in the fading light
When | heard a soft voice tell me:
Mamma, me is tired tonight;
Me is tired of all day playin'-
Put my soldiers all away;
Tell the pussy at mes sleepy
But tomorrow me will play"
On my lap he climbed and nestled,
Laid his head upon my breast,
Said he loved his small gray pussy
But he loved his mamma best.
Then I sang bylo- baby,
Gave him to the Angels keep
And he went to dreamland saying,
"Now I lay me down to Sleep
"Now I lay me down to sleep.
Said the baby on my knee;
"Pray the Lord my soul to keep, 3"
He repeated after me;
"Should | die before l wake,''
Little eyes we're closing fast,
"Pray the Lord my soul to take,
Said the little boy at last.
Just week and 1 was kneeling,
Stricken, in the fading light
When l heard a faint voice whisper:
mamma, me is tired tonight;
Me is tired of all day sleepin'
An me wants little play;
Bring my soldiers an the pussy
Don't you let her run away.
On the bed I lined the soldiers,
Pussy marching at the head,
But-"Tate 'em down until tomorrow,
Mes too tired tonight he said.
Then l clasped my one loved darling,
Watched the shadows slowly deep.
And I felt the hot tears blind me
AS he laid him down to sleep.
"Now I lay me down to sleep,
Said the baby on my breast;
"Pray the Lord my soul to keep
AS he slowly sank to rest;
"Should 1 die before I wake,
Little eyes we're closing fast,
"Pray the Lord my soul to take,
Faltered little lips at last.
On the hearth for many years,
Staunch and steadfast for my sake,
Soldiers still await the morning
When their captain shall awake.
Pussy, old and blind and lame,
Sits beside me while | weep
For the little boy who said
"Now l lay me down to Sleep"

SNYDER SCHOOL
ART DISPLAY.
spIenaId Showing Of School Work
at Opera House THIS Week.

The people OF Snyder are great
ly Interested this week in the great
art display at the Opera House.
The Art Exhibit Is of much in
terest to the people. Some of the
most famous paintings OF the old
world are represented and you have
complete catalog to aid you In
studying these pictures.
The great feature of Interest,
however, is in the display OF class
work OF the pupils of Snyder's ex-
celIent schools. There are exhibits
of drawing, composition and class
examination IN all departments OF
the school from the kindergarten
and primary through all the grades
embracing the senior work in the
high school
The papers are all good, showing
that no school anywhere has a
brighter student body and that we
have earnest, faithful, qualified
teachers who are devoted to their
work. Miss Greenwood has there an
excellent collection from her school
of art, some Of her own paintings
and some done Dy her pupils and
it is all good. Mr.. IIigginbotham
is q ewing thu some fine work
from his studio.
After the people had spent con-
siderable time examining the
art and educational department the
pupils of Colonial Hill school gave
nice entertainment. There were
several recitations, and a represen-
tation OF the inception and final
perfecting of our national colors
The stars and Stripes. A class of
boys and girls In colonial costume
met and planned the design cf the

A Railroad Accident.

A man and his little son at Del
Rio were standing on a railroad
brioge watch ng the wa.e; run over
dam A train rounded a curve.
The noise OF the water kept the
train from bein gheard The engin-
eer couldn't stop his train. The man
and the boy were killed Now the
question Was the railroad company
TO blame and should it pay dam
ages? The man knew he was a tres
passer. The engineer had orders to
run his train All that time and on
that track and could not know that
there would be any person on that
bridge aud fair conclusion
would be that the Company should
not be held responsible
