Probably no cook in the United
States has experimental more thor
oughly with paper bag and covered
pan cooking than has Martha McCul-
loch- Williams, says Good Housekeep-
ing, In which she writes as follows:
Ovens with their heated lids, paper
bags, with their hermetic sealing. cook
things In their own vapors, and with
equal heat. Try 1t, ye doubling sisters,
upon your next pan OF biscuits. Lay
them in shallow pan. turn over them
another pan accurately fitted edge to
edge with the first, set in hot oven,
let stand five minutes. then slack heat,
and cook for 10 minutes more. Then
take of cover, put on full heat. and
cook for minute or two-barely long
enough to crisp. II you like crispness--
II you do not, send biscuits straight to
table.
But with things like potatoes, baked
apples and SO on, this after-crisping is
not negligible. 1t makes white pota-
toes mealy, saves sweets from wateri-
ness. and gives to apples richer fiav-
or. Let all three cook five to ten min
utes uncovered while increasing the
heat. Cooking them covered saves
waste--only the thin dark outer skin
peels away-also there is less risk Of
burning to the pan. Nick the skins Of
white potatoes at both ends. Instead
of crisping they can be peeled, and
tossed In butter or a cream sauce.
They are virtually steamed, hence
cooked without loss any way-either
In quantity and quality.
Apples baked In the following way
have the skins soft enough to eat along
with the pulp. Thus flavor and food
value are augmented. Core them, stick

WILLOW
Cuttings To Be Distributed
by The Government
From 50 To 100 Cuttings
Are Given Each Person

The Department OF Agriculture is
getting ready to fill requests for the
basket willow cuttings grown last
year on its experimental farm at Ar
lington, Va. Distribution Of these cut.
tings takes place early in March each
spring, to farmers and others who
wish to make trials Of basket willow
on lands too wet for other crops. From
SO 10 100 cuttings are given each per.
SON.
The distribution is not a mere Civ.
ing away Of Government material to
persons who desire to get something
free. because II Is required that each
recipient of cuttings shall make a re.
port of the treatment given and the
result obtained. Several select varl.
ties are included in each set that is
distributed. and the aim is to secure
information as to the best variety for
each locality, since no one kind can
be relied upon to yield maximum re-
suits over wide range Of territory.
In the basket willow investigations
carried on at the Arlington Farm, Ar.
lington, Va, and at Ames. Iowa. by
the Forest Service, particular atten-
tion has been given to the develop.
ment of American species for basket
making purposes. The European
species now commonly used have new.
er proved themselves entirly adapted
to American conditions and are az a
rule less thrifty than the native spec
les. At present there is at Arlington
willow garden containing nearly
500 lots gathered from all parts Of the
country and representing practically
every species and variety found in the
United States and Canada.
A system of selection which has
been carried on for several years Is
already indicating which strains show
the best basket willow characteristics
for American conditions.

Washington, Feb. 14--Three million
dollars is to be the saving to the
people Of the country as the result OF
the fact that Congressman Ben John
son of Kentucky Is Chairman Of the
House Committee on the District or
Columbia. He discovered that the
people In the states are paying one
half of the taxes for those who re,
side in the District Of Columbia and,
until he began to make fight In Con-
gress they did not know It. Even
some of the members of Congress did
not know It.
The practice of the government
standing one-half of the taxes for resi-.
dents of the District Of Columbia is an
old one. 1t has been going on for
years. Custom Is a hard thing to
break down. But there Is really no
more reason why the people of the
states should bear half Of the expense
Of maintaining the District of Colum.
bia than there Is why they should pay
half Of the taxes of the residents Of
the capitals Of states. The old policy
Of the government to stand one-half
of the taxes makes Washington fine
place for tax dodging millionaires to
build their palaces. It might only be
expected that when Mr.. johnson began
his fight pressure would be brought to
bear on him to force MIN to abandon
It. 1t was. The great newspapers OF
Washington fayed him and ridiculed
him; the Senate set itself UP against
him, he was opposed on the floor of
the House, and he had to fight, and
fight hard, for every inch of headway
he made.
But Mr.. Johnson took the attitude
that he was sent to Congress to serve
the best interests of all the people and
not for the purpose Of perpetuating
soft snaps for the wealthy of the Dis.
trict of Columbia. Mr.. johnson, az
ter hard fight, succeeded in striking
more than three millions Of dollars
out of the last appropriation bill for
the District of Columbia.
The people back in the States are
taxed to carry on their local city,
county and state governments; anc,
in addition, are taxed to pay one-half
of all the municipal expenses of the
City of Washington declared Mr.
Johnson. Congress quarrels and
fights within itself over the question
as to whether one or two battleships
shall be built, and without batting an
eye or asking a question votes the
price of a dreadnaught to Washing
ton each Congress. Widows of the old
soldiers are compelled to fight and
scramble for an eight dollar or a
twelve month pension. but the
widow of Washington policeman is
paid pension Of fifty dollars a month
and no questions asked, while the
eight dollar pensioned widow back In
the states Is taxed to help pay it. The

Columbus, o., Feb. 14.--If the vote
by which the Kennedy bill was de.
feated In the house indicates the attl.
tude of majority of its members to-
ward the issue, It is not likely any
oction to change the law providing
tor the punishment Of persons con.
victed OF murder in the first degree

Of the assembly.
Representative Kennedy's measure
would make the penalty for murder in
the first degree imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life. unless the Jury
trying the accused recommend with
out mercy" in which case the pun
ishment shall be death. The law now
reads that punishment shall be death,
unless the jury recommends mercy.
A valiant fight for the passage OF
the measure was waged by Represen.
tative Kennedy, who said one Of the
chief objects was to place the burden
OF fixing the death penalty directly
upon the jury, and to make Jurors
consider cases more seriously.
Mr.. Kennedy denied the measure
would abolish capital punishment, but
admitted It would minimize 1t to
great extent.

ADVICE
Given By Experts On Pruning
Of Trees

Columbus, Feb. l4-"DOn't be afraid
to cut out those nice. big limbs when
pruning your trees" is the advice OF
the horticultural experts of the Col.
lege of Agriculture to farmers who
are preparing for the pruning of their
orchards. I'm fact, it is preferable to
center prune. as by this method the
fruit can be kept within easy reach
OF the ground, the trees will develop
in such manner that the sunlight
can get to all parts OF the growth, and
the best fruit will be obtained"
Too many Ohio farmers have their
orchards growing so that some of the
fruit is forty OF fifty feet from the
ground. thus necessitating an extra
long ladder before the fruit can be
plucked In such cases, a great deal
OF tho valuable crops go to waste. as
the farmer does not risk climbing up
the tender central limbs to get few
bushels that he sees growing at the
highest parts of the tree. This loss
may not be much In single tree, but
in an orchard. it may amount to sew
eral hundred dollars In a season.
In making the cut. the experts ad-
wise the use of saw which will go
sufficiently close to the limb as to not
cause Stump" The cut should be
parallel to the limb from which the
pruned limb is taken. thus allOwins
the rain and snow to slide of easily.
II water is allowed TO congregate in
the tree wounds. rot ensues and pos
sibly the entire tree may be lost in
a few seasons. Large wounds should
be painted with either white lead or
asphaltum to protect from the ravages
of the weather and diseases. common
to orchards.

food in COVERED PANS
PRESERVES The FLAVOR

filling quality of a quart Of apples cost

juice into jelly as nutritious as deli
cious; lacking sugar 1t cooks to the
pan and Is lost.
To pan-broil a steak, chops, or a
chicken. lay them upon low rack in
the bottom of pan, put little water
underneath--cold il the oven is very
hot, oiling II in haste, cover tightly
and place in a hot oven. Cook the
meat until there is q sound of sizzling,
uncover, add little more water--in
the interest Of brown gravy--and cook
uncovered until as brown as desired.
Cook roasts or fowls likewise ON a
rack and cover, setting the pan ON the
floor of the oven. Should the rack and
cover, setting the pan on the floor Of
the oven. Should the rack inside make
covering impossible, put 1t on the ov-
en- floor, and set the pan upon 1t. Meat
is more tender and there is less loss in
weight and substance when cooked by
this method. Here as in case of the
apples, the pan does not get the lions
share of what cooks out. Put little
water underneath at the beginning, and
add little more at the end.
Covering cake in the pans saves the
cracking on top 50 marring. 1t makes
rising evener, also more certain. Place
the pan upon rack, or in bigger
pan with water around 1t. This is es-
sential in case of plum cake. or any
very rich cake. To advise covering
pastry seems flying In the face of
common sense-yet 1t Is well worth
while. The pastry is better colored,
lighter, crisper and free of blisters.
Stuffed things, as tomatoes, peppers,
potatoes, should always be baked un-
der cover. Green corn coks beau
tifully in the oven, Onions baked in
ambush do not make the house smell
aloud; also they are -aavorous.
