Your suggestions may serve TO supple

a few weeks ago on bread making in re-
ply to the request Of several correspondents
who asked for exact directions for making
bread. / am obliged to you for them and
1 hope they may be Of assistance to other
housekeepers. Here is the recipe you wish.
SALISBURY STEAK.-Remove fat, skin,
and gristle from the middle cut Of the best
round steak and put it through meat chop
per three times. Make a round or an oblong
of it about an inch and half thick, put
into wire broiIer, taking pains that the
steak keeps its shape, and broil from four
to six minutes. The correct method is
to cook 1t over charcoal, but gas or Goals
may be used. Turn it constantly half
dozen times minute. It should be merely
hot throughput enough to take OF the
absolute rawness. Lay on a hot plate,
sprinkle with salt, cut It in thin strips when
serving. and let each person put butter on

should be followed with great caution, as
even little of this may be too much and
spoil the cake. If you use lemon juice you
can ccunteract the softening effect by put
ting a trifie more sugar to the proportion of
liquid or reducing the amount Of water.
This cake may be beautifully garnished
with cherries and stripes Of angelica.

permitted sugar, such as f1avoring for
cakes. buildings, sauces, drinks, etc. but,
of course, would be of no service for savory
dishes or gravies. Still, since the use Of

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-04-18

New York, April 1.-The Hon. James Bryce, ambassador to the United States from Great Britain, who retires this month, is planning to leave here April 25 for long trip to Japan for rest and sightseeing. Ambassador Bryce is just now in the public eye for the last time in his diplomatic career in connection with the Panama canal tolls question. The report sent to London by Ambassador Bryce on the results of recent conversation with Presi- dent Wilson foreshadows, 1t is under stood, a favorable termination of the controversy over Panama canal tolls. One of the English papers understands that President. Wilson will soon make an important statement on the ques- ton. While President Wilson has never expressed himself publicly on the question of Panama canal tolls, he has informally indicated to his
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-04-18

friends that he believes in an inter- pretation of the treaty which would make 1t improper for the United States to exempt it's vessels in the coastwise traffic from paying tolls. He is also understood to take the position tha t the exemption as now proposed is in effect a subsidy, and he has always been opposed to subsidies. The report that the President had intimated to Ambassador Bryce that the settlement of the question would be favorable to Great Britain is credited generally in official circles, because it Is thought that MT. Wilson's personal friendship for the retiring ambassador would ac- count for their conversation on this point just before MT. Bryce's depart ure, though MT. wilson has been urged not to give formal expression to his views until the tariff is disposed of in the present session of Congress.

Governor Haines' Letter on
Importation of Potatoes.

numbering, and the raising Of hay and
oats.
sincerely hope the government will
not permit the importation of foreign
potatoes. The risk is too great. Be
sides, l believe that the American po-
tato raisers are entitled to the benefit
of the American market. This may
not be the policy with some people
but 1 know that it is the wish OF the
majority of people in Maine. We have
to pay for the most of things we eat
from other states in the Union, ana
we do feel that we ought to have the
American market left for our one prin-
ciple agricultural crop, to wit, pota-
toes. Potatoes can't be raised by our
people for less than 80 cents bushei
with any sort of a living wage for the
men who raise them and fair rate
for the money invested in the farm
and l think we can raise potatoes as
eheaply as any other country in the
world, with the exception OF the price
we pay for labor. Our average Yield
per acre is much larger than that OF
most countries Our farmers live well
and the wage scale would probably
be considered high, but they should
not be made to lower their standard
of living and l sincerely hope that
they will not be compelled to do 50,
by the importation of foreign potatoes.
And further, and of much more i'm
portance, is the risk of the absolute
ruin of this industry if we should get
some of the foreign disease into our
soil.
You are at liberty to read this letter
to anyone.
With kind regards, remain,
Yours truly.
