ELECTRIC WELDING is BEST
Modern Methods of Manufacture In
Many Lines Benefited by Dlscov-
cry and Practice.

Welding by electricity has long
been successfully established as the
only process to perfectly amalgamate
two metals into one. You have hardly
tool or piece of machinery on your
farm but that is electrically welded
where there is a juncture of metals.
The present state of perfection of gar
den and barnyard tools, mowers, reap
ers, binders, threshers, cultivators
kitchen utensils, dairy machinery,
edge tools, chains, automobile engines
and steering gears, bottom of oil cans
frames of bicycles, etc, is made pos
sible through electric welding. The
same process produces Pittsburgh
perfect" electrically welded wire fenc
ing, which is a solid, one-piece fabric
enjoying many distinctive advantages,
among them being the ease with
which it is strung, the great tension to
which 1t can be stretched because Of
the absolute elimination of long"
and short" wires, the smooth surface
making wire cuts impossible, and the
neat appearance of the fence. Modern
methods of manufacture in many lines
have been greatly benefited by the dis
covery and practice of welding bv
electricity.

MUTTON IN TIE DIET.

Mutton has always been a popular
food among the Jews and in sections
where sheep are raised; yet we find
even in sheep states that people do
not know and appreciate the value OF
the meat. Mutton and lamb are whole
some and the fact that sheep are
rarely diseased is a great point In
their favor.
Mutton is a food for the invalid. as
II is commonly believed to digest
easily and without causing any inter
nal disturbance Melton like beef, is
almost always completely assimilated
in a healthy stomach.
The advantage that mutton has over
beef is that II may be used more
economically, as a quarter or half of a
carcass may be bought and kept in an
ordinary refrigerator and the price
per pound is considerably less. Beef
cannot be bought in such sections, as
the portion would be too large to
keep, A leg of mutton can be utilized
by an ordinary family with compare
lively small waste.
Mutton is said TO absorb odors read.
lily and so must be carefully hung.
Another important feature is the man
ner Of dressing. If the butcher ham
dies the wool and then touches the
meat It is sure to have a strong,
woolly flavor The feeding, sex and
age Of course are factors which help
to determine the flavor, which is said
to have it's origin in the fat
When the mutton is brought into
the house, whether fresh from the
hands of the butcher or from the mar.
ket, wipe 1t with damp cloth and all
portions which have any unpleasant
odor about them should be cut off.
In roasting mutton a rack is desir-
able, as there is then no danger of
any portion of the meat being
scorched and spelling the flavor OF
the whole.
One fact worthy of note in making
broth, especially for the sick, is that
the fat of mutton is easily extracted
in the process of cooking, so that
after the broth coois, the fat may be
easily removed.
In preparing mutton broth, as all
others, the object is to get as much
Of the nutriment and extractives into
the soup as possible. This is accom-
plished by dividing the meat into
small Diecps and cooking nj a very
low temperature.

ELECTRIC FANS IN STABLES
Marked Improvement In Condition Of
Horses Is Noticed Since introdue-
ton Of Devices.

A great change in the condition Of
the horses owned by western com
pany was noticed upon the introduc-
ton of electric fans in the stables
During the heated terms the animals
are found to be in a very much i'm.
proved condition as compared with
that. before the introduction Of the
fans, and the explanation is that the
animals are enabled to secure their
proper rest, and are thus in better
shape to undertake a days work. A
light line Of shafting was introduced
into the stables and the large bladed
fans were used with streamers secured
to the paddles to keep the flies from
the animals. The experiment was
made at first in one portion of the
stable, and it was attended with such
a marked improvement in the condi-
ton of the horses that it has been in
troduced generally throughout the es-
tablishment, which is a very large
one.

APPROPRIATE SAUCES.

A pudding is made OF married by the
sauce which is served with II. II
may not seem 80 important on FIRST
thought, but the blending OF havors
Is as fine a point to consider as the
blending OF colors In a painting or In
garments to wear. The world Is too
full OF people like the woman who
had a great deal Of taste, but It was
all bad.
The French chef shows his artistic
sense IN the manner which he blends
tiavors. II is an art, a science which
all cooks should cultivate, the art Of
seasoning.
Few people know what to add to a
dish to give It its distinctive piquancy,
which II is so evidently lacking. Many
times It may be a dash of salt OF a
pinch OF mace, a drop of vanilla, or
any number of things which the keen
sense OF the trained cook at once
detects.
This wonderful art Of seasoning
makes the difference in different peo-
pies dishes, some are so satisfying
so well favored and well seasoned
that never a morsel is wasted; others
are so fiat, stale and Improbable al
though good material has been used
that much is wasted.
Whipped cream is a most delicious
sauce, which is very much abused and
is served in some homes on every va
riety of pudding. II one considered a
moment the fitness of things it would
be most apparent that a rich pudding
| should have a sauce not so rich in fat
For example sponge souffle, being
made of eggs and rather tasteless in
itself, needs a rich sauce of butter
creamed with powdered sugar, fla
vored and made foamy with whipped
cream. A rich suet pudding is best
served with an egg sauce, thinneC
with milk and favored as desired.
The salad dressing is another i'm
portant point to consider, even the
simple French dressing, which ont
would think might be made by al
amateur, is often ruined by too mucl
vinegar. One part of vinegar to two
of oil and often thFee of oil if Wor
cestershire is used; a bit of ice helpi
to blend the dressing, and salt anC
cayenne must be added to taste.
In meat sauces a dash of oniol
juice, a touch of assafoetida, a sus
picion of garlic, will transform al
ordinary dish into what the Frencl
call a creation.

Electric Welding.

The scope of operation Of electric
welding has widened greatly during
the last few years and the process is
an important factor in the progress of
the metal industry. The process has
been found especially economical in
duplicate work owing to the rapidity
with which it can be produced. MI
merous forms of automatic machines
have been perfected for this purpose.
Electric welding machines for handling
a wide variety of sizes and shapes are
standard equipped in many manufac-
turing plants. Numerous forms of
portable electric welding machines are
in service for welding copper, brass
and aluminium wire to obtain continu-
Gus lengths.

When Hannibal was besieging Rome
there were those among the inhabi-
tants who bought and paid good prices
for the land on which his army was
encamped. That was the spirit that
made the ancient Romans rulers of the
world. Americans on many occasions
have displayed the same splendid cour-
age and confidence in the face Of
danger. They showed it in Chicago in
1871 by planning to rebuild before the
ashes were cold after the great fire.
They showed it at San Francisco, after
earthquake and conflagration had done
their worst, and they are showing it
