WHICH ARE BETTER LAYERs1
Poultrymen Are Debating Whether
Hen or PuiIet 10 Capable Of Great
est Egg Production.

No matter how successful keepers
become with poultry, they are trying
at all times to find how they may In
crease their profits. To increase their
profits means to increase egg produc-
ton. Poultrymen are now debating
whether hen or pullet is capable of
the greatest egg production There is
good argument on both sides. Some
claim that while hens lay less than
pullets, they lay larger and heavier
eggs and because of the fact the eggs
command better price than those
laid by pullets. This is true, but in
many sections of the United States.
eggs are sold without grading and
consequently the small egg Is able
to command as good price as the
larger ones. Others are in favor of
pullets because they lay eggs which
are claimed to possess better flavor

TO VARY THE MENU
SOME NEW WAYS OF SERVING
WELL-KNoWN DISHES.
Apple Soup Is Nothing Of Novelty,
But Always Appreciated-How TO
Prepare and Serve Up Saw
ory Marrow Bones.

To vary the everyday menu, say
Housekeeper, it is good idea to keel
up with new ways of serving well
known dishes. Those who know how
can make much out of little, so
though the larder may seem almos'
empty, the table may look as wei
filled as on a market day.
Apple Soup-Peel and quarter
quart of cooking apples, carefully
removing the cores; put into a kettle
with three pints of white stock, pep
per, salt, and three cloves; boil until
tender, strain and reheat, adding 9
cup of sweet cream and dash OF nut
meg and tablespoon of sugar. Serve
with toast squares.
Cucumber Soup.-Pare, quarter, and
remove the seeds from two cucum
bers. cut in thick slices. and cover
with boiling water to draw out the
poison. Let them stand ten minutes
then have ready two quarts OF white
stock. add the cucumbers, and boi
slowly until very tender, adding
bunch Of sweet herbs. Strain ant
season and add gill Of cream, IN
which two eggs have been well beat
II. Serve at once with toast sippets
Savory Marrow Bones.-Have mar
row bones cut the desired length and
boil them IN linen cloth In fair wa
er long enough to release the mar
row. Stuff them with a mixture Of
5weetbreads, mushrooms, the marrow
and sayory seasoning, and bake in q
moderate oven. When done, they may
be fitted with paper collar and a
black ribbon tie. tied in square
bow and a paper FOOLS cap. and
served on lace paper doilies
Deviled Salad Balls.-Take the
yolks OF four hard boiled eggs and
devil them, with salt, pepper, olive
oil, dash of Worcestershire sauce, to
form the paste, then. form into little
balls; roll in powdered nuts and drop
into the salad among the leaves
Cover with mayonnaise
Extra mayonnalse may be in the
center of the salad in half-lemon
skin, having slice cut from the
bottom, so that 1t will stand upright
Layer Cake, Soft Frosting.-In lay.
ing up cake with soft frosting, each
layer may be sprinkled with powdered
pistachio nuts. To make 1t especially
pretty for festival occasion, the top
may be decorated with candied mint
and rose leaves.
In making the dressing for any
salad, remember that only the very
best olive oil that can be purchased
Is allowable, for the delicacy and
flavor OF a salad may be ruined II a
cheap, heavy oil is used. And such
oil may also make salad most In
digestible, whereas the pure oil is
most healthful and nourishing.

jelly MakInu,

The owner of large canning fec
tory claims that the superior flavor
of his jelly Is due to the method fol-
lowed In it's preparation. In summer
he cans the Juice from well-boiled
fruit, and seals, while hot. in gallon
Jars, whose tops, after being tightly
screwed on, are fastened securely by
pouring melted shellac around the
edges. When cooler weather sets in,
the cans are opened and the juice
boiled into jelly. The longer the Juice
lis kept the richer will be the jelly.
Another easy way to make Jelly is
to boil the fruit in muslin jelly-bag,
boiling until contents of the bag are
soft. Lift out and suspend on hook
all night to drain.

MANY SIGNS OF RAIN.

A writer In the Hamburger Mach.
richten, who is evidently one of those
rare and favored mortals who find
tongues In trees, books In the run
ming brooks thus charmingiy sum
marizes the various signs Of impend-
ing rain:
The idyllic calm Of the hen run gives
place to a scene of great excitement,
the fowls running about and waltzing
in the dust.
The ducks are just as lively. diving
frequently. Peacocks give vent to
their hard metallic cry expressive of q
soul In anguish. Pigeons lose their
consciousness of the time of the day
and seem to be in doubt whether they
ought not at once to seek the shelter
Of the dovecote.
Swallows give up their aerial cir
cling and press down toward the earth
in pursuit of the insects which have
also dropped into lower strata.
Other animals seem to know that
the time Of cheerful sunny warmth is
departing. In corner Of the yard the
cat scratches herself behind the ear
and rubs her fur with paw as II she
wanted to remove some invisible spot.
In barn and corn lofts rats and mice
emerge from their dark corners.
Flies are all agag; their quiet re
fiectiveness gives place to restless
and greedy buzzing round everything
and everyone. Bees either stop at
home on the hive or come swarming
back In hurry. They cease to be
pacified and go out of their way to
sting an unsuspecting wayfarer II they
see a storm coming.
Spiders stop In the middle of their
feverish weaving of their webs and
hang DULY and tiredly by their
threads. So, too, with the humble
denizens of the soil; worms wiggle up
and stretch themselves, while toads
come out of their holes in troops. In
the pond the chorus of frog voices
sounds louder than ever as they In
woke the clouds to pour down the
long-desired rain.
Even under the water the coming
change makes itself felt. Fish rise.
Twenty-four hours before the change
in the weather the roach comes out OF
its muddy bed and swims about con-
tinually, making what looks like terri
fed gasps for breath, which gives 1t
it's name of weather fish," The frogs,
those true barometers, leave the water
and show themselves.
Even the plants reflect the coming,
bowed back; fennel, too, stands up
stiff and straight If colder weather is
looming on the horizon. The wood
sorrel lifts Its leaves before storm,
while those of the narcissus close up.
The lettuce again opens its leaves be-
fore rain. So many and so varied are
natures signs.

Housing School Teachers.

The cities of Ulm and Frankfort, in
Germany, are trying novel plan for
housing their teachers. They are sell

land at low price and accepting q
mortgage on it at low interest. In
Frankfort this mortgage may amount
to 80 per cent of the value, SO that

and mortgage payments together, it is
