The regular boiled frostng, called
also White Mountain Cream, is as
follows:

Ia c. boiling water Flavoring
Stir sugar and water together, then
boil without stirring, to the soft ball
stage, or 238 degrees Fahrenheit
Pour onto stiffly beaten egg white
and beat until OF right consistency

The two difficult points are to
reach exactly the soft ball" stage.
and the right consistency to spread

Cake FrOstings

1t would be interesting to trace
back and find the first cook whose
ingenuity transformed a sprinkling
of sugar on top of a cake into real
frosting. That step was real crea-
tive achievement. From it have come
in our modern times the delicious
products of the bakers art, which
tempt the eye and the palate alike.
While we all realize that we enjoy
frostings, we overlook the fact that
an icing adds a great deal of real
food value to a cake. 1t is concen-
trated food, being so largely sugar.
OF the various kinds of icings
which have so many fancy names one
can distinguish two general types,
the raw and the cooked. Practically
all the raw icings are made of pow
dered or confectioners' sugar (the
latter being slightly more choice,
moistened with liquid. The liquid
may be plain water, or fruit JUICE,
or cream, or unbeaten egg white.
Sometimes butter is used, with coffee
as the liquid, to make a Mocha FROST
ing. Sometimes in place of moisten-
ing with a liquid the sugar is added
to beaten egg white. The great ad-
vantage OF raw frosting is the sure
ness OF the result. To all but the ex-
pert a boiled frosting is gamble;
the raw cannot be failure. How
ever, the raw frosting is somewhat
more expensive and, l believe, never
quite equals the perfect boiled frost
ing when that rarity is met.

SUGAR MEN READY i.
TO HELP NATION IN
ANY WAY IN WAR

Under the leadership of Judge II. h.
Rolapp, president of the United States
Sugar Manufacturers Association, the
sugar producers of the country are
taking steps 10 offer their services to
the government for cooperation with
the council for national defense or
such other department or federal
agency rs may be designated, in what
ever manner may be determined upon
as feasible "a. D..
: At the meeting of the association
held in Chicago Judge Rolapp called
the attention OF the members Of the
association TO the possibility that an
emergency might shortly confront the
United States that would make it de,
sirable for the association to have a
committee which should be authorized
TO represent II in relation to national
affairs. The suggestion was favorably
considered. - -. .
On April 3, when IL became certain
thatsthe United States would enter the
world war, Judge Rolapp took action
by appointing committee on national
affairs to represent the, association and
addressed letter TO President Wilson
informing him of the appointment OF
the committee and rendering its ae'
tivities and those Of the association as
whole either for consultation, in
formation or seryiee. g..... "a
Other organizations of sugar pro.
ducers, it is reported, have similar ac
tiOn under consideration. 1t is regard
ed as possible that joint committee
may be created representing the indus
try of sugar production or the sugar
trade as a whole for the purpose Of
taking united action to bring about co
operation between the sugar industry
and the representatives Of the national
government along similar lines already
adopted by this special committee.

questions, for here again the practical
results were not in accord with ac-
copied textbook THEORIES. Wagner
states that about sixty per cent of the
nitrate nitrogen applied was utilized
by crops, but only twenty five per cent
of the manure nitrogen was utilized in
the first rotation. t.t| K
If sodium nitrate is used exclusively
the amount applied must be progress
sively increased from year to year.
Furthermore, the exclusive use of com
mercial fertilizers, as rule, aeeelerates
the loss of nitrogen from the soil, while
the use of manure with fertilizers not
only prevents loss but brings about a
marked increase of the nitrogen con-
tent of the soil.
Fertility, Or Profits? -.-.r....
Stable manure, alone, has too little
nitrogen to make it possible to secure
the best use of the potash and phos-
phOric acid, which the manure con.
tains. Therefore, Wagner states, the
true value of the plant food of manure
is not secured by, its exclusive use. In
no case did MANURE alone give as high
yields rs manure with fertilizers, the
average relation of yields in all ex-
perments being as ten to thirteen.
" Maximum yields were often obtained
with commercial fertilizers alone, and
in some cases were higher than where
fertilizers aud manure were combined.
This very comprehensive cooperative
series OF experiments strongly indicates
that from a viewpoint of profits de-
rived from increased worth of the
crops grown, commercial fertilizers
alone are better than amy other mix,
ture Of combination.

sTRAWY MANURE RICHEST

At the Wisconsin experiment station
il has been proved In recent expert
meptsy that the addition Of straw to

cent discoveries by Professor Russell at
Ruthrmsthad, England, abstracted in
these eolumns -. .a...,.F ...... ".
The straw is itself probably of very
little value as 4 fertilizer, but it is
believed that IT supplies the energy
