By the Sign of the Moon.

"Will you kindly print recipe for can
died citron. such as you buy in the stores?
1 also would like to know about planting
vegetables and flowers under the moons
influence to obtain best results. l have been
told vegetables that grow under the ground
should be planted in certain sign Of the
moon, those growing above the ground In
another sign, and vines and flowers in still
others. AS have poor luck with all want
to find out just the right signs. Some of
our German housewives may know.
Mrs. G. T. A."
The candied citron YOU buy in the shops
is a tropical fruit that does not grow in a
northern latitude. 1t is different from the
citron melon that we raise, and which can
be preserved and candied. II a recipe for
this will serve your purpose, let me know
and I will gladly give 1t.
As to the theory that certain vegetables
should be planted at one time Of the moon
and others at another. this is pretty gen.
orally conceded to be a superstition. and
that the moons phases have nothing to do
with the growth of the crops. 1 believe
that there are still farmers who hold to
the faith, but I do not think the modern
scientific farmer takes any stock in the
notion, but plants as best suits his con-
venience the condition of the ground and
the state of the weather. II I am mistaken
in this / shall be glad to be corrected by
better informed agriculturists than myself.

Luxury of Home Making.

One of the prettiest illustrations Of how
housekeeping and the work sometimes
called drudgery may be made a delight is
set forth in charming book read a gen.
Grafton ago by young and old alike. 1t
told how a family redeemed the labor OF
their home and converted it into a Joy by
the fashion In which they managed 1t; OF
the pleasure they felt in using their best
things every day and knowing it was all
right, since they themselves were to handle
them. or as one Of them put it, that she
could stir her blanc mango with a silver
spoon without being afraid the maid would
take 1t the next day to lift the ashes"
That comfort and enjoyment are within
the reach of every one of us who is able to
do her own homework. Why don't more OF
US get the full good of what might be called
the luxury Of homemaking and look upon
the things We DO as a delight instead of
drudgery?
OF course there is a risk here as there is
everywhere. l know a housekeeper who
rejoices in keeping no maid because of the
lack of accountability 1t implies. II she
chooses to have breakfast late she is not
bothered by the thought that the cook is
in a hurry to get the meal out Of the way
and the dishes washed, and if she is not
at home in time TO dinner she has no COM
FUNCTIONS Of conscience because she is
OBTAINING the maid over hours. No one is
put out by the delay but the members of
the family.
1t must be owned that her plan has its
advantages. but TO my mind these are on
set by the drawbacks. Her house is never
really in order; always there is something
left undone, some odds and ends out OF
place. Her temperament enables her to
bear these trifies with composure, but 1

No Liquid or Baking Powder.

MRS. L."
The following recipe for German coffee
cake should produce good results IL the
dough is well worked, allowed to rise the
correct length Of time, and baked in the
right sort of oven-that is an oven heated
to the proper degree. hope you may have
success with it:
Cream cup of sugar with half cup Of
butter, add TO these two cups Of scalded
milk, half yeast cake dissolved in a cup
of warm water a half teaspoon Of salt, and
two well beaten eggs. Thicken with
enough -four to make batter that can be
stirred with spoon. Beat we'll set to rise
for about three hours. and when half its
first bulk put in enough flour to make a
dough you can roll out. Make it about an

letting the loaves rise until light. Before
putting the pans In the oven sprinkle the
top of the cake with bits of butter the size
of hickory nut and with generous al
lowance Of sugar to which you have added
a little cinnamon Bake for about thirty
minutes in rather slow oven, keeping the
top of the cake covered with brown paper
until almost done.
