To Preserve Leather

L have several cushions covered with
Spanish goat leather. find that some of
the corners are beginning to crack. They
are expensive cushions that we purchased
with our furniture and | feel they will
be ruined unless you can help me by sug-
gesting remedy for the same-something
that will keep the leather soft and pliable.
In answer to Marie may l give my
easy method OF picking onions? First,
to make peeling easy, put only few
handfuls in a basin at a time; pour on
cup of vinegar. If this is not enough
pour off water and cover. The steam will
loosen the skins and make peeling easy. L
sort mine as to size while peeling, then
when ready to cook take the largest ones
first, put in a kettle, cover with a cup
of sugar, one cup of water (hoD and one
cup of cinegar. If this is not enough
to cover put on another cup of each.
let mine come to a quick boil and con-
tinue boiling rapidly until they just be-
gin to assume a CLASSY appearance. Re-
move from the fire and seal hot quickly.
The medium or very tiny onions I do not
boil, but bring my sugar, water and Vine
gar to a boil, and when boiling hard
throw them in, let them boil up once and
seal. In sealing l add different spices
to have a variety. Some may be plain, to
others L add a few small red peppers, or
sprinkle mustard in with them. One may
change taste or flavor as one fancies. 1
seal my pickles in glasses, bottles, or
lars, whichever I have on hand. If l
have no covers for same small rounds of
heavy wrapping paper spread with a lit
tie slightly beaten white of an egg an
svers just as well. The onions remain
hard and white, and keep from one year
until another. MRS. w. G. p"
TO preserve leather from cracking and
to keep 1t soft and pliable use meats foot
oil. Put a very little of this in the palm
of the hand and$rub it gently into the
leather, continuing the friction until
every bit of the oil is absorbed. Then
wipe with a soft bit of flannel. Repeat
this process every month and the cush-
ions will not be likely to crack. I have
given at length your excellent recipe for
picking onions, as your directions are so
clear and simple that the housekeeper,

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
184-1901

1874--1901

The carpetbagger element of politician
had this much to do with the government
of Alabama-it wrote the constitution of
1868 and absorbed the federal patronage.
The scalawag was the native who was
quick to see the inadaptability of the
alien and to seize the opportunity for
himself.
No sooner had Governor Smith, scala
wag, been put into office by act of
Congress than he became the open and
avowed enemy of every carpetbagger of
advanced position then in the state. The
exciting cause of the rivalry was q mu-
tual aspiration to control of the negro
votes.
The scalawags from the beginning
proved an overmatch for the carpetbag-
gers, while the election of 1874 put to
silence both factors of discord and
opened the way to the 16 years struggle
for undisputed and final elimination OF
the negro vote.
The education of 1874 left in office,
however, carpetbagger George E. Spen-
Ger, United States senator, the ablest
and most unscrupuous politician known
in Alabama at this period.
In order to reach just conception OF
the wonderful Importance of the success
of the democratic and conservative party,
in the election of 1874, it appears to be
pertinent to the native to recall suffi-
ciently the career Of Spencer in Ala
bama and to describe conditions trace
able to his influence that beset the gen.

Cornmeal Stuffing

Il noticed the request of Nj. A V. "
for a recipe for cornmeaI stuffing for
turkey or chicken. I am a Virginian.
and down on our farm (and in my own
kitchen frequently our turkey is pre-
pared in the way this correspondent
speaks of. The turkey or chicken is
always parboiled also the gizzard. liver
and heart are cooked, then chopped
finely and put In the gravy and stuff

and crumble. cutting up an onion, add
sage to suit taste, piece of butter

done. X. J. NJ"
For this recipe also / am sincerely
grateful to the many correspondents
who have sent it in. But, before recon-
mending it unqualifiedly, I want to
voice one little protest. This is against
'parboiling' the turkey or other fowl
that is to be roasted later on. I know
that many housekeepers use this
method of making a bird tender. But,
to the epicure, this treatment mars the
delicious flavor of the dish. If stock
is needed for the dressing 1t may be
made of the feet and wing tips of the
chicken or turkey. But do not injure
the delicacy of your dish by the pre-
liminary steaming or parboiling of
fowl. Wipe the bird with damp cloth,
put water or stock about it in the
roasting pan, and if you use a covered
roaster cover 1t closely But-and here
is the secret of your success--baste it
often and with an abundance of butter.
This takes time and trouble, but the
result Is worth both When the juicy,
golden brown bird is served you will
find it has delicate flavor that par
boiling would. have destroyed. But, lest
you think me prejudiced, try both plans
suggested, and see If you do not de-
eide that mine produces the more tooth
some dish.
