Small Amount Of knowledge Young
Matrons Possessed.

Two young matrons. who are sis
ters, keep house in their old family
homestead in Kansas City, Kan. Re-
Gently their cook left them. While
neither had had much experience in
cooking. yet they decided to take
charge Of the kitchen. They bought
three cook books. For Sunday even
ing lunch 1t was determined to have
sauerkraut and spare ribs. Several
friends were asked In.
The kraut and ribs were put on the
fire to boil. Suddenly 1t occurred to
one Of the cooks" that she did not
know how long the combination should
cook. She asked her sister. She
didn't know. They consulted the cook
books. Each gave this instruction:
Cook until done" They we're in de-
spair. One Of the husbands happen
ed to drop into the kitchen. He saw
that something was wrong. He asked,
and was told
THAT ought to be easy to find out,"
he said. He stepped to the telephone
and called: Information. please"
In a moment a gentle voice come
over the wire: This is information.
What IL II, please?"
Information. can you tell me how
long sauerkraut and sparer1bs should
boil?"
Without Q moments hesitation the
silver voice replied. Certainly Cook

instead of soaking them In the
manner described, but we think
that n much more thorough job
can be done in case Of potatoes
where the seed is immersed in
the liquid and left to soak for
the time stated,
The barrel treatment as given
above has been found to be effec-
tive by many careful tests, while
the spreading of the seed out on
a floor and sprinkling with the
solution has not been proved out
by any such experiments, so far
as we have been able to learn. II
may be effective, but we do not
yet know it to be so. II will be
safer, in our opinion, to stick to
the method known to be good.
1t is not easy to shovel potatoes
over, as oats are shoveled, to
insure the action of the formalin
on every part Of the seed.

with the ex-

cultural College. with the ex-
ception Of date secured from hog
feeding experiments upon a re-
stricted scale, there is practically
no reliable information in this
state as to the cost and best
methods for fattening stock. 1t
would seem, therefore, that the
time is opportune for this station
to secure, at the earliest possible
moment, reliable data regarding
this important industry.
Eastern Oregon is the great
meat producing section of the
state; hence il would be desir
able to conduct experiments in
live stock feeding under con-
ditions prevailing there. ! would
therefore earnestly recommend,
first, that preparation be made
to take up this work at the East
ern Oregon experiment station
in cooperation with this station
at the earliest practical date, and
second, that the three hundred
acres of land not at present util-
lied for experimental work be
devoted to the growing Of forage
crops for the special purpose of
fattening stock"

The use of formalin to destroy
the germs Of potato scab on seed
to be planted is becoming well
known to our experienced grow
ers, but there are many young
farmers and gardeners who do
not yet make use of this very
simple, inexpensive and effective
remedy for scabby potatoes.
The soil on which potatoes are
to be planted should not be aka
line as this condition tends to
cause scabies. Free lining of
soils and free application of fresh
strawy stable manures are apt to
cause scabbiness in the crop.
Well-rotted manures and prepar-
ed trade fertilizers give best
satisfaction in this respect.
Seed to be planted can be
treated against scab by being
soaked for an hour and a half in
a solution of formalin and water.
Add pound of 40 per cent for
malin to 80 gallons of water. Put
a bushel or a bushel and a half of
the seed in a gunny sack and set
in the barrel of liquid for so
minutes. Then lift up and let
drain for a few minutes and put
in another lot. The same water
can be used over again.
We have seen some articles
advocating the sprinkling Of the
seed potatoes with the solution.

Baking

One Of the most important things about
baking cakes il 20 have q moderate oven
at the start; in fact, In using gas, oil or
gasoline stove. IL Is not necessary TO light
the stove until the cake has been put in.
Then there should be very low flame at
first. After the cake has doubled In bulk,
increase the heat and bake until brown
crust is formed and the center will respond
to the touch. Never allow crust 90 form
over cake before the batter has doubled.
In u wood or coal range, have very light
fire in the fire box. After the cake In in the
oven. replenish the fire and by the time IL
las burned up the batter will have
doubled and Is ready for the hot oven 10
finish it. IL Is impossible 10 specify the
length OF time 10 bake cakes, for the larger
and thicker the layer, the longer ii takes
to bake.

"Big Sisterhood" to Care
For the Unfortunate

Portland has a big Sister,
hood, an unique society, which
invites the interest and co-opera-
tion of mothers and daughters
and other members of families
throughout the state of Oregon.
This society is quite informal in
its organization, its aim being to
give friendly aid and counsel to
girls who are alone in Portland
or who for any reason are in need
of a big Sister,, The work of
the society is not offered as a
charity, but is just the friend
liness of one woman for another,
or a big Sister" for a Little
Sister,"
So many girls gong to the city
from the country or small towns
have fallen into misfortune
through the want of friend. or
in some cases have been utterly
lost to their home people, that
these Portland women have as
sociated themselves toextend the
friendly hand to girls and women
who need any kind of help
whatever.
If girls, or the parents of girls.
who are going to Portland will
write to the big Sisterhood, !"
care of the Peoples Institute,
arrangements will be made to
give them such attention as they
may wish on reaching the city
and their welfare will be looked
after by Big Sisters" who will
take pleasure in knowing them
and helping them. So many sad
things happen every day to girls
who come to Portland from small
towns and the country that the
Importance of this acquaintance
with the Big Sisters" is urged
upon mothers and daughters
throughout the state.

Thrift in East and West.

Many Eastern people quote the
greater volume of savings bank
deposits in the Eastern than in
the Western states as evidence
Of greater thrift in the Eastern
states. It is rather a sign of
greater opportunity for individual
investment of savings and of
more general disposition to avail
oneself of this opportunity in the
West.
Many people in the East who
save small sums are afraid to
trust their own judgment in
making investments, They
would rather trust the judgment
of the banker to put their money
in safe mortgages and bonds.
The banker, conscious that he is
q trustee for other peoples
money. invests it only in securi-
ties which are considered abso-
lutely safe and which, therefore,
a proportionately lower return.
Then, too, the opportunities for
small investments are fewer in
the East. where property values
are high and where enterprises
are conducted on a generally
large scale BY combining their
savings in the hands of bankers
many people who have small
sums to invest can alone put
their money in mortgages and
bonds.
In the West more people have
the ambition and self-reliance to
go into business for themselver,
to invest their own savings and
to secure a larger return than
mortgages and bonds would pay,
The sheepherder saves his wages
until he can buy a small flock of
his own, the cowboy until he can
run his own herd. the worker in
a logging camp until he can run
his own logging outfit, the thrifty
among railroad graders until
they can become station men,
then sub-contractors, and so on
up the scale. The journeyman,
carpenter, plumber, painter and
bricklayer are ready to take con-
tracts on their own account.
The smaller volume of savings
bank deposits in the West is thus
an evidence of greater prosperity,
of more opportunity, of more
willingness to take advantage of
it, than of less thrift. The thrift
is here, but is practiced in diff
ferent ways from those most in
vogue in the East. -Oregonian.

The Riahi Matenink

Bear in mind that the best materials
make the best food.
A soft Winter wheat pastry flour is as
necessary for cakes as for biscuits. In fact,
Il should always be used with baking
powder, as it absorbs moisture more
readily than hard Spring wheat bread
Hour, which contains much slow dissolving
gluten. II bread -four is used for cake, one
must use at least one-third more moisture
than is called for by the recipe, for all
cake recipes are written for pastry -four
A great deal Of the uncertainty OF cake
baking Is eliminated by using double
raise baking powder such as X G. The
batter need not be hurried into the oven,
nor need one be careful about slamming
the oven door, or jarring the stove. X g
is really blend Of two baking powders,
one OF which commences TO raise as soon
as moisture IL added; the other il inactive
until heat is applied, 30 that the raising is
sustained against all danger OF falling until
the cake Is baked
Cane sugar Ia always TO be preferred for
cakes. because beet sugar is hard TO dis
solve and is likely to sink 10 the bottom
or stick around the edges Of the PAN
making an imperfect cake.
IL impossible TO get granulated cane
sugar, then as the next best thing, buy bar
sugar. This is very fine and easily creamod.
