Baked Ham.

Lay good sized ham in twice as
much cold water as will cover it.
When it begins to boil. set the kettle
back on the range and let it boil
steadily with low fire. The old way
of cooking hams was 70 soak them be-
fore hand in cold water, allowing one
hour for each pound and the same
time for boiling them. A two year old
ham takes much longer. About two
hours before it is done. pour into the
kettle a pint OF wine, light sour wine
or sherry, or one tumbler of good ap
plecider. When boiled, skin 1t, glaze
the top with beaten egg and bread
crumbs and bake in a slow oven 11z
hours. If it is to be used for slicing
cold, the ham can be taken from the
boiling water and plunged into ice
water, which will harden and whiten
the fat.

WASTE ON FARMS
AND ALSO IN CITIES
Facts Brought Out at Gathering
in Philadelphia Concerning
High Cost of Living.

As in numerous other conventions,
conferences and congresses called for
the purpose OF considering causes and
remedies in relation to the high cost
OF living problem, gathering in Phil
adclphia last week with these ends in
view quickly reached two conclusions
that production is not keeping pace
with consumption and that IL might
easily do so il the idle lands in the
urban and rural districts were only
cultivated. That there is tremendous
waste OF opportunity to raise food
stuffs plentifully every Intelligent per-
son in town and country can see. Idle
lots and blocks and acres lie on every
side. Fertilization and cultivation
would bring millions of acres through
out the country. now contributing
nothing. into active and useful par
ticipation in the struggle for lower
iiv.rg prices. IL has been demonstrat-
ed repeatedly that the waste land in
the average town and city can be
made to yield vegetables in quantities
sufficient 20 hold prices of these com
moditics at a reasonable level.
Since il appears at present to be
next TO impossible to enlist individual
interest in the cultivation of lots and
tracts now going TO waste. save in an
cLhemeral way. why. II may be asked.
cannot tn. matter be taken in hand
by municipal lities and by the States:
one great hiudrance to this form of
industry is lack OF capital among
those who might be expected to en-
gage in it, Assuming the land TO be
available free. or at n nominal rental
there are still tools to he purchase
and there is still living to be gained
by the Gller until his crops shall he
marketed. And here, again. the Phila-
delphia gathering rediscovered the
handicap Of limited distribution. The
market gardener who is forced to sell
in his immediate neiEhborhood ut such
prices as may be offered him cannot
succeed In building up n profitable
industry small or large. He must he
able to take his goods into the gem
oral market and share in its benefits.
Philanthropy has assisted in many
projects looking To the cultivation of
waste land and the resulting employ
ncnt Of persons who otherwise would
be forced into dleness or driven to
CROWD others out of employment as
wage earners; and some of these phi
lanthropies have succeeded. 1t would
seem, however. that sooner or later

venting the harmful neglect and waste
now everywhere apparent in this re
srect II may do this by aiding the
tillcrs Of idle lands directly. or II may

charge ana employing the cultivators
The only point that seems fixed at this
time is, that in failing to take cog
nizance of an opportunity to reach

the public Is neglccting great duty
and at the same time setting a bad
example for the individual. This con

REAL ESTATE AND
BUILDING NEWS
All Things, Including Rental
Payments. at Standstill-Every
body Taking Holiday.

Inc real estate SITUATION Is quiet, re-
markably quiet. There were hut few
sales during the past week, and all of
the agents who are not making n liv-
ing on rental commissions declared that
they were largely out Of business. That
is the way the fellows who deal eN-
clusiycly in city real estate feel. The
half dozen or more firms that make n
speciality of farm lands said they were
doing a few stunts that were worthy of
consideration. During last week four
farms were sold in the Upper James
River territory, and there WAS some
thing doing in the Southsidc country.
Two deals over in Chesterfield County
were limited at, but the agents making
the deals were recent as to particulars
One firm tells of a good sale down on
the Peninsula, in which Il New York
man became the owner by purchase of
farm not far from Williamsburg, but
the papers have not yet gone 10 rec
ord and the agency pushing through
the deal would not give names and
particulars.
a local real esate agent who deals
altogether i'll city property and gives
more attention TO the rental end of his
shop than to other departments un-
bosomed himself to the man of news in
limited way. Said he: This is the
Santa Claus period Everything and
everybody is looking to the claims Of
Santa Claus. The man who owes Il
| lot OF rent money IS letting Santa Claus
have all of his ready cash just,now, and
| to that extent is putting off the rental
! agent and all of the collectors. The
rental agent is getting some comfort
out of this condition for the man who
rents and does not pay up, no nerve to
/ ask for repairs and for the mending OF
pipes and all the like of that while he
is month or SO behind in his rent
| dues. and so all Of us are taking n
kind Of holiday. Let 1t all go at that
until after Christmas, and then you
will see something doing that Will he
worth talking about"
From all of the indications 1t now
looks as If the real estate conditions
will be on the quiet until after the
holidays. And 1t is not bad IL such be
the case. The real estate men need q
! rest.

Autos and Car Block Traffic.

A mix-up between an autotruck loaded
with bricks, trolley car and an auto
mobile touring car blocked traffic on
Wilkens avenue, near Millington ave-
nue., Baltimore, Md, for half an hour
until the trolley car, which was knocked
from the track, was gotten back upon
the rails.
The truck and the trolley car were
moving eastward alongside each other,
when the other automobile, going west,
tried to pass between them. 1t struck
the rear of the truck, changing its
course so that the tuck collided with
the trolley car, striking it near the
front platform and swinging it around
so that it partly crossed the westbound
track.
Besides Conductor j. T. Holthause
and Motorman Samuel Casey, there
were four passengers on the car, but
nobody was injured. j. L. Griffith,
driver of the truck. also escaped in
jury.
