Carving is an art but few women
have been willing to accept it as such.
Generally speaking, there are two
ways in which it is done: The meat
| separated and sliced, regardless of
grain. or location, as quickly can't
! say easily-as possible; the other hav-
ing il sliced and served from the
kitchen. But the 80 per cent who have
no help in the kitchen are the ones
we desire to aid.
One of the very good reasons why
men do not enjoy carving is for the
want of a sharp carving knife. A good
set of carving tools is almost indispen.
sable and it should be used for no
other purpose except carving and not
kept rafting around in a drawer. The
knife should be of the best steel with
a rather long, thin blade and a strong
fork, with a pair of carving shears.
The extra sharpening should be taken
care of before being seated at the
table. The man should sit or stand
for this carving, depending upon the
size of the fowl or roast and his con-
venience. The platter containing the
roast should be placed in front of him,
giving him plenty OF room for free
use of his carving. This platter
should always be large enough so he
will not be in constant fear of depos-
iting most of the meat or gravy on
the tablecloth Hold the knife and
fork easily and comfortably, grasping
the handles with the backs of the
hands up.
To Carve a Fowl.
Begin by sticking the fork into the
wing and drawing it toward the leg,
with the point of the carving knife
underneath; take off the wing at the
Joint Next slip knife between the
leg and body on the same side, down
TO the joint; with the fork turn the
leg back and the joint with the knife,
may be easily separated; then divide
the leg and second joint. These
should be laid at once at one end on
the platter as cut or on a hot plate
in front of the host Slice the breast
or white meat from the same side.
If this is sufficient for the first serv-
ing do not carve any more; If not.
proceed as directed with the other
side.

in smaller pieces when the
turkey is very large.

SirIoln of Beef
sirloin should be cut into thin
slices with a sharp firm cut across
the grain; the cut should be clean
and even and the point of the knife
is used to loosen slices from the
bones. Always cut straight down to
the bone, as the meat is sweeter there
and less good meat is left to utilize in
leftover dishes.
To Carve Ham,.
Ham should be cut through to the
bone first from the center and thick

and always commence cutting from

with thin, circular slices clear to the

HOUSTON URGES NEW PLAN
Reorganization of Agricultural Depart
ment Work Proposed.

Reorganization of Agricultural Depart
ment Work Proposed.
Washington. u. c.. Dec. s.-Reor-
ganization of the department of asri-
culture is foreshadowed in Secretary
Houston's first annual report, present
ed yesterday TO President Wilson.
a plan TO be submitted to congress
in the fiscal estimates for 1916 pro-
poses 20 carry out the work of the de-
partment in five or six main groups,
such as research, state relations, rural
organization, forest service, weather,
and regulation. Such plan Secretary
Houston believes will promote coor-
dination.
Plans for redisrrIcting the country
for the enforcement of the pure food
law are announced and the secretary
announces his intention to ask for au-
thority to prepare amendments to the
pure food law to improve the food
supply, protect the public health, and
promote uniformity in food legislation.
Free distribution of seeds by con-
gressmen should be discontinued, the
secretary recommends. He would con-
duct in its stead constructive work in
obtaining and distributing new seeds
and plants.
Conditions vary widely in the United
States. the report says. because farm
ers do not equally need better credit
arrangements and all sections are not
similarly circumstanced. 1t contends
thc when all necessary allowance has
heen mada for Fundamental factors il
is probably clear that the rural COM
munities are not as efficiently served
as they should be by existing financial
arrangements.
AS to federal aid for good roads, the
secretary says the federal government
should deal with the state as the low
est unit through an expert highway
commissioner as its agency. The plan
should provide for maintenance as well
as construction.
Special emphasis is laid on the fact
that the figures for crops quo ed are
estimates From the estimates at
hand it appears that the production of
crops in 1913 was materially below the
average. the yield per acre of all crops
combined being smaller than in any
year in the last decade with the ex-
ception of 1911.
The corn crop, according to the esti-
mates, fell below $500 ,O00, 600 bushes
which is smaller than any crop since
1908. Wheat production, with an es-
timated total of 753. 200, 900 bushels, is
the largest ever recorded in this coun-
try. This crop was matured before the
drought became effective.
