To Boil Eggs Properly.

There are three good ways to boil
an egg that has been cracked. A very
simple one is to add quite little salt
to the water in which the egg is to be
boiled. This will prevent the white
coming out. If the crack is very large,
wrap the egg in a piece of soft paper.
The wet paper adhering to the egg, pre-
vents the egg coming out of the shell.
If there is only tiny crack at one
end, make a tiny opening in the other
end with a needle and the desired re-
suit is secured. The latter method may
be used to boil eggs preserved in
water glass, the puncture being made
at both ends.

NUTRITIOUS AND CHEAP
FISH DISHES THAT ARE REALLY
WORTH WHILE SERVING.
Baked Mackerel Properly Prepared
Should BE Popular With ALL
Haddock Stuffed or Served
With Tomatoes Is Good.

Baked MackereI.-Wipe out two
mackerel with a damp cloth, and cut
off the heads and tails. Split nearly
through, so that they lie flat. Take
out the backbones. Place them inside
upward in covered fireproof dish.
Pepper and salt well, cover place in a
slow oven, and allow to steam in their
own juice for half to one hour, accord
ing to the oven. Serve in the same
dish.
Mustard Sauce for MackeraI.-Put
in basin pepper, salt, little fine
sugar and plenty Of mustard powder.
Pour on about equal quantities Of vim
till thoroughly mixed and smooth. The
result should be a sauce of the con-
sistency of thin cream. A little taste
of garlic improves the sauce. The gar
lie should be rubbed on the basin in
which the sauce is mixed.
Baked Stuffed Haddock. - Wash,
scale, and wipe large fresh paddock,
and remove the eyes. Prepare a stuff
ing with two ounces chopped suet, one
ounce of bread crumbs, one teaspoon
full herbs and parsley, and season with
salt and pepper Mix the stuffing with
half an egg. Stuff the body of the fish
with this, and sew up the opening.
Pass trussing needle, threaded with
string, through the tail of the fish, cen
ter Of body, and the eyes, draw the
fish up into the shape Of letter S,
brush 1t over with beaten egg, and
sprinkle some breadcrumbs over 1t
and few pieces of dripping. Bake in
a brisk oven for about half an hour
or longer, basting frequently. Dish |
up and serve with brown sauce or
gravy.
Haddock With TorSatoes.-Wipe the
paddock and put it in a pie dish with |
little milk and water, and cook 1t in |
the oven till tender. Skin three toma-
toes, and cut them into slices; peel
and chop finely half an onion. Cook
four ounces of rice in sailed water till
tender, and drain Skin and bone the
paddock, and flake it. Melt an ounce
of butter or dripping in a saucepan,
add all the above ingredients, season
with salt and pepper, and beat up
thoroughly. Serve on hot dish, and
sprinkle over some chopped parsley.

Helpful Hints.

When separating yolks from whites
OF eggs, sometimes a speck Of yolk
slips into the white. To remove this
dip clean cloth into warm water and
wiring it dry. Touch the yolk with a
point of the cloth, and it will cling to
1t at once.
A pretty and inexpensive couch
cover can be made by taking a white
bedspread that is worn thin and MAX
ing it the right size for the couch
Then dye it pretty green or a dark
red.
In home dressmaking a very impor-
tant point to remember, especially in
making coats and skirts, is the fire.
quent use Of the iron. Unless the
seams are carefully pressed with
hot iron over damp cloth the gar
meNt, however well cut, will have an
amateur look.

Stuffed Leo of Pork

The following would be better by re-
moving the bone from the leg of pork
to make room for the stuffing:
Make a deep incision in the meat
and fill with dressing made as for
chicken and seasoned highly with
onion. Skewer the places together and
rub the outside of the meat with salt.
pepper and a little powdered sage.
Bake very slowly and haste often.
Strain the contents of the pan, put in
little cold water to make the fat
rise, then skim and thicken, using a
rounding tablespoonful Of -four to one
cupful Of the liquid. Let the gravy
cook eight minutes.

Twelue Thousand Square Miles
VIII be Freed By Tick Wo'k
On December 1st in Big Fight

g.essed, it became possible to ship in
to the open market cattle which had
been federally inspected and found to
be free from ticks. The higher prices
which these cattle brought demon
strated conclusively the value of the
campaign In Limestone county,
which was freed in September, about
LOO head of cattle that were shipped
out in this way brought an average of
$40 a head more than the prices pre-
yelling below the quarantine line. The
cost to this county of freeing it's 49,
600 cattle from ticks is estimated at
approximately So cents head.
In counties with a greater number
of cattle, the cost of tick-eradication
per head has been considerably small
err than this. Thus, the $4,000 cattle
in Marengo county were cleaned for
less than 30 cents head, the cost Of
each dipping being less than 3 cents.
In this county 1913 watts were built be-
tween March Is and May /, and IA
more at odd times thereafter. These,

Gent to clean up the 97S square miles
in the county in one season of sys-
tcmatic work.
Experience has shown that such
work is possible only when the people
themselves realize its Importance. In
the counties in which the campaign
has been pushed to a successful is
sue this year, work was begun after
the question had been submitted by
these counties to the people at the
rolls, and eradication carried by ma
jorities of from to to to /. There
after, the whole influence of the more
progressive elements in the commun-
ity was brought to bear upon the few
recalcitrants who refused to dip their
cattle. In the majority of cases this
was sufficient to bring them into line
without resort to legal proceedings,
but where these were found necessary
the local judges took pains to impress
upon the defendants the fact that their
individual preferences would not be
permitted to thwart the will OF the en-
tire county.
