why Milk Turns Sour.

Perhaps you have often wondered why
1t 10 that II you let milk stand for short

turn sour and become unfit to use In

then sealed up in some sort of alright

time In any weather.
Many persons believe that q thunder.
storm will turn milk sour, and If you ask
them what the thunder, which IL nothing
but noise, can do to tho milk you will
find that they have no idea, but they just
know 1t Is so. So therel
The reason that milk turns sour 10
that 1t contains q small microbe that
makes an acid from the sugar In tho

microbes are killed and the acid Is never

The acid which 10 made BY these

ALLIGATOR Hunting.

Alligator hunting in Colombia Is IN
industry which furnishes the natives
with considerable sport. 1t Is carried
on along the Magdalena river from
December to April and In July and
August. During these sainless months
the streams subside, draining the great
alluvial plains which border the main
stream. The alligators. which rushed
out on to the inundated flats during
the previous swelling Of the river,
crowd back through the connecting
branches and channels, where the In
dian hunters slaughter them In large
numbers, spearing them and hauling
them out on the banks, where they
are stunned and then beheaded with
long handled axes. Rifles are not
used, owing to the prohibition OF the
use of firearms, except shOtguns. Hun
dreds of alligators are also left stuck
in the deep slime left by the receding
waters, over which their short legs
will not drag their heavy bodies

Many Cakes from One Recipe.

Many Cakes from One Recipe.
In these days when the cost Of food
stuffs is soaring to sickening heights,
with little chance of an agreeable descent
to earth, the economical housemother 10
seeking recipes of dishes that Will keep
her family we'll nourished, and therefore
happy at the least possible expense.
1t 10 not enough that they have we'll
cooked meats and wholesome vegetables,
but dainty dessert IL required to help
provide properly balanced diet. Every
housekeeper knows that look OF antici-
patton that greets new dessert, and the
NOh's" and "Ah's' when 1t 10 sampled
and found good.
Many families have had to dispense
with cake except for special occasions,
owing to the price Of eggs and butter.
The old-fashioned cakes required too
generous quantities of both, and there
has been weeping and wailing since
Mother found It necessary to cut out the
usual delicacy.
The following recipe will be greeted
With joy by all members Of the house
hold. It is certainly cheap, Is quickly
made and can be varied indefinitely.
Put in a mixing bowl one cupful OF
-four, one cupful sugar, q pinch OF salt
and teaspoonful of baking powder, and
mix we'll together, dry. Melt In meas
uring cup piece of butter the size OF an
English walnut; break into this an egg
without beating) and FIJI the cup with
milk. Pour into the mixing bowl and
beat all together rapidly for q min
ute. Flavor to taste, and bake In hot
oven.
It's excellent either as loaf or layer
cake. II baked in a loaf, line the pan
with buttered paper. A little shredded
cocoanut sprinkled on top of the loaf
when it is ready for the oven is an i'm
provement, and chopped nuts are equal
~ good.
A tablespoonful of cocoa added to the
recipe makes Devil Cake. By putting
half of the ordinary recipe in the pan
first, adding the cocoa to the remaining
half, and then pouring on top, q marble
cake ia the result.
A teaspoonful of pastry spice may be
added, and the cake baked in a long
pan-the result, Spanish Bun.
By baking in gem pans, one can have
delicious cup cakes for lunch or tea.
These can be varied by the addition OF
shredded cocoanut, chopped walDuts,
spice, curraDts, chopped figs or dates.
The changes achieved in the character Of
the cake by the use of different icings,
flavorings and combinations are infinite.
These little cakes ale excellent as des-
sert. Those containing fruit or spice
can be steamed and served either with a
hard or fruit sauce. The cOcoanut or
plain cakes may BIZ baked and served
cold with cream, custard, or scooped out
and filed with different kinds of jam or
marmalade. This cake may do duty for
a steamed cup pudding with spoonful
of jam in the bottom of the cup. Gran
berry sauce is delicious used in this way.
Another way to utilize this useful rec
ipe Is to bake In fiat tin, cut In two
and fill with rich custard. Fresh ber-
ries may be substituted for the custard,
