der and a piece of butter the size Of
butternut or three tablespoonfuls Of
melted butter. Stir together in the
usual way and turn the mass out on to
a mixing board. Then roll out. add
ing -four to prevent the mass from

ter. Add cupful of buttermilk and
stir the mixture into two cupfuls Of
flour sifted with a teaspoonful of
soda, half teaspoonful of cloves and
half grated nutmeg. When taking

full of molasses, third of a cupful
Of melted butter, cupful of butter
milk, an egg, teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in hot water, teaspoonful
of ginger, two and half cupfuls Of
flour and little salt. Mix we'll and
bake.
If there is sour milk on hand 1t
will make delicious loaf cake. Cream
a scant half cupful of butter with one
and half cupfuls of powdered sugar
Add two beaten eggs and half a cup
full of sour milk. Stir in a half cup
full Of grated chocolate that has been
dissolved in half a cupful of boiling
water and allowed to cool. Flavor

BUILDING ON INSIDE LOT

When building on an inside lot .

house has unobstructed views from

to secure the maximum of sun and

LAWN REQUIRES MUCH CARE
Must Not Be Neglected n One Would
Have Really Suitable Adjunct
to Home.

In order to keep our lawns beauti-
full, they must have constant care
Too often the lawn il cared for only
during the growing season, when in
reality 1t should be cared for during
the whole year.
Whenever the lawn needs fertiliz-
ing, put on very fine, well-rotted ma
nure soon after the ground becomes
frozen in the fall. Let 1t lay on the
lawn all winter. and rake it OF in the
spring az soon as active growth takes
place. Be lure and use well-rotted ma
nure, because fresh manure ts apt to
heat and kill the grass roots.
During an open winter. the grass
is subject to a drying-out process
which tends to kill the roots. This
can be helped by sprinkling the lawn
often.
Weeds. dandelions, ETC., infest the
lawn whenever the grass has become
thin. These thin places can be rem
edied a great deal by sowing grass
seed very early in the spring and rak-
ing 1t in we'll. Young grass will start
growing very early, and in this way,
1t will get ahead of the weeds.-N. f.
