HINTS FOR THE COOK
SOME BETTER WAYS OF DOING
KITCHEN WORK.
How To Do Away With Lumps in
Making Cocoa-To Keep Rice and
Macaroni From Becoming
Mushy.

Instead of mixing cocoa with boiling
water to dissolve it before putting it
into the cocoa pot, try mixing the dry
cocoa with an equal amount of granu-
lated sugar and then pouring it into
the boiling water in the pot, stirring
all the while. This does away with
the Jumps that usually have to be
fused over, and also mussy cup.
The kettle should be given frequent
baths, else lime and other salts will
settle on the bottom, which may then
be dissolved off into the boiling water,
making it hard"
To heat water very quickly set
broad, fiat saucepan over the fire and
cover to keep in steam.
A small uncovered board, about
the size of rolling board for pas
try, is invaluable for setting hot
dishes, pots, etc, upon. This preserves
the kitchen table top, and leaves room
on the stove for other things.
To prevent roast from becoming
fat soaked, set it upon a rack in the
roasting pan. But keep the surface
of the roasting pan covered with fat
to prevent it from burning. Fat is
better used here than water, as water
utterly changes the character of the
meat.
Cold meats may be attractively
served by removing first all gristle,
bones and skin and excess fat and
then cutting into thin strips or slivers.
Warm indirectly by pouring over the
meat any desired hot sauce.
To keep every grain of rice separate
and distinct, cook it in a pot of rapid
ly boiling water with the lid off.
Cooked in double boiler with the lid
on makes the rice mushy. Macaroni
should be cooked same as rice.

tables like peas, beans and lentils.

storage of hay in the haymow This
haymow is unobstructed, as no col
umns are necessary to support the
roof, which is of the gambrel type.
The truss framing provides stiff
and strong support for the roof against
the snow, wind, etc.
Room is furnished to comfortably
house eight horses and sixteen COWS.
The part of the barn devoted to the
cows has a gutter in back of the
stalls, and also the floor of the stalls
is made on slant so that they can
be easily washed out In the horse
part of the stable the floors are made
level and no gutter is needed in back
of the stalls. Convenient harness clos
cts are placed in the front part of the
barn alongside the horse stalls.
Lighting is one of the most impor-
tant things in barn. Chickens like
to lay eggs where it is dark, but dairy
cows do not accomplish much unless
they are given plenty of light. The
lighting in this barn is well taken
care of. There are seven windows
spaced along each side of the barn
and in each end there are two more,
making eighteen windows in all. In ad-
dition to contributing to the comfort
of the cows a well-lighted barn is
much pleasanter to work in.
The entrance to the barn for the
animals is through a wide double

Everybody wondered when middle
aged Doctor Hicks, widower with a
small son, became engaged to the rich
Miss Louise Soutar of the Manor. But
the story of the breaking off of their
engagement was less of wonder and
more of scandal. Some blamed the
Soutars and some the doctor, but all
were agreed that he was fool to
let people know SO much about his
business.
The diphtheria epidemic in the vii
lage was not serious, but there were
more than a score of cases. Mrs.
Soutar's son Leonard, Louise's broth
er, was one of the first, and the doc
tors son Frank one of the last. And
there wasn't any antitoxin. The state
board, which supplied it, had been
held up by some sort of crank injunc-
ton. However, antitoxin was not
considered necessary at first. The
cases were doing very well without it.
All except that of Leonard Soutar
and Frank Hicks. The doctor want
ed antitoxin badly, and he had just
enough for one injection in his tube.
People got to know that, and that was
the doctors cardinal error.
Mrs. Soutar and her daughter were
panic-stricken over the possibility of
Leonards death. When the doctor an
nounced that he intended to use the
remedy only as last resource, for
whichever of the two boys needed it
most, the situation became critical.
At Leonard's bedside Mrs. Soutar
went down on her knees.
He's dying, doctor. My boys

son is worse" he answered.

you. He is all have-my only son"

Ctoxin to the one who is most in need
of it,
He went away. AT home, his own
boy was in the critical stage of the
disease. Gossip had it that he was
dying Hardly had he entered his
door before the telephones got busy.
Mrs. Soutar heard that Frank Hicks
was to receive the drug.
She left the nurse at her sons bed
side and hurried with her daughter to
the doctors house. The two women
entered without ceremony and found
Robert Hicks at his sons bedside.
The boy was delirious. Upon table
beside him stood little phial contain
ing some clear, water-like fluid The
doctor had a hypodermic syringe in
his hand. Mrs. Soutar grasped him
by the wrist.

He dipped the hypodermic into his
phial, and the mother, darting for
ward, knocked both phial and hypo-
dermic from the table, sending them
rolling into corner. The phial
cracked and emptied it's contents upon
the floor.

Mint Leaves in Plum Jelly.

This year when you are making
plum jelly, try this plan:
Get some fresh mint, and while the
jelly is cooking, add some of the mint
leaves to it. Pour the jelly into the
glasses so that few leaves are in
each. The mint gives a flavor and
point to the jelly that makes it espe-
cially delicious with roast lamb or

PROVIDE SHADE FOR POULTRY
Ducks and Geese Quickly succumb II
Unable to Secure Protection From
the Suns Rays.

Failure to provide shade for poultry
during the summer months not only
results in a large number of deaths,
but the flocks are less productive. The
Importance of summer shade cannot
be overestimated Poultry of all kinds
require shade. Ducks and geese very
quickly succumb If they ara unable to
get protection from the suns rays.
1t is easy to provide plenty of shade.
The Missouri College of Agriculture
recommends the following ways of fur.
nishing shade for poultry: Portable
houses can be set up on blocks 80 that
the birds may run underneath; or.
chards. sunfiower patches, cornhelds
ETC., can be so arranged that the young
stock or mature hens may run in them
Cornfields make excellent summer
range for young stock. They furnish
plenty of shade and other conditions
for rapid economical growth are ideal.
A little planning on the part of the
farmer will make poultry keeping
more profitable. By providing shade
the losses are reduced, the flock Is
more productive, and the young stock
will make more economical growth.

While, of course, we would like to
have strictly fresh eggs all the time,
there are times when this is impossi-
BILE. Then we must take the next best
thing, which is the preserved egg.
Limewater makes one Of the best
egg preservatives. The limewater
treatment, according to M. e. Dickson
Of the College of Agriculture, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, consists in dissolv-
ing one pound of lime in five gallons
OF water which has been previously
boiled and allowed to cool. The mix
ture is thorougly stirred and allowed
to settle. Then the clear liquid is
poured into an earthen jar or wooden
tub. which is filled within two inches
Of the brim with fresh eggs. The con-
tainer is covered with coarse muslin
over which is spread paste of lime
to prevent evaporation as much as pos
sible. All of the eggs should be en-
tirely covered with the liquid.
