CARE FOR MACHINERY,
Properly Housed Farm lmpIe-
ments Means Big Saving.
Tools Should Be Well Selected, Kept
In Good Repair and Adjustment,
Oiled Thoroughly and Cleaned
Before Housing.

II travelling over the country, the
ordinary observer is unfavorably i'm
pressed with the methods now COM
monty found in use by many farmers
for taking care of their machinery.
AS a general rule, the prosperity of a
farmer may be estimated by the way
he cares for his machinery. Poor
care indicates shiftlessness, waste, lack
of energy and the necessity of buying
more machinery in short time. Good
care, on the other hand, indicates
prosperity, development, bank de-
posts, and long-lived machinery.
i To properly care for the farm i'm
plements means that they must be
well selected, kept in good repair and
adjustment, oiled thoroughly, cleaned
before housing, and have all wearing
parts well creased when not in use,
and painted when necessary, and
must be properly housed. To neglect
any Of the lines of care mentioned,
means serious damage and loss to the
machinery.
There is no question but that to
properly house machinerw is great
saving, as it not only adds a great
deal to the life of the machine but it
also adds to the general appearance
of the farm. 1t is generally found

RECIPES FOR SWEETS
CHIEFLY FROM FOREIGN COUN-
TRIES, AND ALL GOOD.
Ratau Cake Extremely Popular In
Both Germany and France-GoId-
en- Bread of Portugal Declared
to Be Delicious

Ratau or Dadau Cake.-In Germany
and France this cake ranks as high as
the better known French brioche and
the English bath bun The ratau cake
has held its place in culinary history
for three centuries and more. 1t may
be prepared with but one dough or
with two, similar to the brioche. The
finest ratau cake made of the two
coughs differs from the brioche in the
more equal distribution of its pores,
rising like a sponge cake in minute
uniform bubbles. The brioche Is part
ly fakey and rises in layers. The Ger
mans vary the preparations of this IA
vorite cake, principally by the addi-
tlon or currants, raisins, pounded al
monds, candied orange peel and spices.
Savoy Cake.-This is a sponge cake
mixture called by the French Biscuit
de Savoie, Naples biscuits or ladies'
fingers, and in variety of forms is
familiar to most of US. These biscuits
are fine light cakes composed of eggs,
the whites whipped to stiff white
froth. sugar and flour of finest quality
and f1avoring being added. With but
one or two exceptions no fat, except
that contained in the egg yolks, is add
ed to the mixture
The baking of these cakes is all i'm
portant. They must never be really
brown, but remain a pale yellow color.
To secure this result with certainty
the outside Of the biscuit is protected
by thick glace of finely powdered
white sugar. When baked in a mold,
the latter is first we'll buttered, and
then glazed with powdered sugar.
Gateau des Rois.-This is the most
renowned Of the cakes of France. 1t is
essentially butter dough cake, al
though the term means almost any
thing in the pastry line, from a cream
pie to an ornamental tall cake for q
party.
Portuguese Pau d'ouro, or Golden
Breadth refined Portuguese homes
you may be served with a delicious
biscuit of cake bearing the above
name. 1t is similar to our sunshine
cake, no butter or milk being used.
Th1s cake Is not cut, when served, but
the lady or daughter of the house
breaks it with her fingers into neat
cubes about two inches square.
kugelhopfe.-This is the German
counterpart of the French babau and
variation is obtained by the addition
or ralsins or almonds, candied orange
peel. dried cherries or cinnamon. 1t
may be served hot as dessert as baba
au rhum, or with a German sauce
made OF apricot jam, diluted with
lemon juice, or a German custard and
wine sauce.

FIxINGS FOR THE CROQUETTE
EGG and crumb Combination the Best
Method Of Making and Applying
Mixture.

Break an egg in plate, beat slight
ly with fork and add one tablespoon
full of water. Place a fork and table,
spoon In this mixture.
Fill another plate with crumbs.
Roll the croquette in the crumbs,
place upon the fork and dip the egg
over 1t with the spoon, covering ev-
cry part.
Drain and slide from the fork back
into the crumbs and give the final
shaping, covering with the crumbs
before handling it.
Be careful not to get the fork and
spoon into the crumbs.
A wire egg-whip used in place Of
the fork is convenient for large, soft
croquettes.
To Prepare Bread Crumbs.-Dry
pieces of bread thoroughly in open air
or slow oven. Crumble fine-a roll
ing pin may be used, or run through
a food grinder. The crumbs may be
sifted, the finer kept in one jar and
the coarser In another.

TALE OF A PLUME
BY cLAUDlNE SMYTHE.

"All my life," began the stout girl,
as she removed her hat and held 1t
up to undergo critical survey, I've
had wild longing to possess a hat
with plume. I've been possessed
with envy or every girl / saw with a
real plume on her hat I've stood hours
| longing for the wealth of plumes dis

plume to march with, you know.
We'll, mother packed that plume
away in blue tissue paper, SO 1t
wouldn't turn yellow, and waited for
me to grow up.
When l became old enough to
think about pretty hats, mother
brought out the plume, and we looked
| 1t over.
Just then, however, everybody was
wearing little clusters of fat short
tips, and that long straggly ostrich
feather of mine, no matter how you

on the street without attracting un-
| pleasant attention. So We sorrow.

Il remember l shed real tears that
year over the disappointment. But
mother had some cast iron or

strong, that resembled a bunch OF

on my hat, where l had imagined the

"Of course, mother and l agreed

that where a farmer is interested
enough in his tools to properly house
them, he is interested enough in
Them to care for them otherwise.
To house" machinery does not
mean merely to put it in some tum-
ble-down, leaky shed, or combined
machine-shed and hen-roost.
A great deal of machinery can be
placed in small space if properly
arranged At the time of storing it
the machinery should be placed in
the shed according to the time it will
have to be removed. The machinery
that will be used late in the season
should be placed in the back Of the
shed and that which Is to be used
early in the season should be placed
In front. In this way 1t will not be

Do not forget that the implements
and machines on the farm represent
an investment, and that when ex-
crate rapidly, thus making the up
keep and original cost a heavier
charge against the equipment. Dew,
rain and sunshine may cause greater
deterioration in expensive imple-
ments than ordinary use. To leave
the implements at the end of the rows
or in the field without shelter means
great loss. No progressive farmer can
afford 1t.
Binders, mowers, hay presses, trac-
tors, silage cutters and other ma
chimes represent considerable capital,
and it Is economy to shelter and care
for them when not in use. A tool
shed costs little compared to the risk
of protecting the implements. The
shed is really insurance upon the i'm
plements from sun, rain and rust.

stocks, shovels, sweeps, hoes, spades,
