Vegetable
Dinners
By Loretto g. Lynch,

nlANNING to have turkey this
year? Then you will want
to know how to pick out q
good one. Young turkeys are best.
AS a rule, hen turkeys are best A
good turkey has white flesh. black
legs, a plump breast, and the breast
bone is yielding. Young cock tur-
keys have small spurs. In this way
you may distinguish them from
hens.
Before any kind OF poultry Is
cooked, the hairs must be. singed
by holding the bird over the fame.
The pin feathers may be removed
with a vegetable knife and your
thumb. Chop of head and feet
Sometimes the tendons OF the legs
are removed with the feet.
To remove the entrails, make Z
cut just large enough to .ad-
init your hand between one leg
and the body. Work your hand
around carefully between the en-
trails and the body till the entrails
can be drawn out all together. Put
two fingers down between the neck
and the skin and find the windpipe
and the little bag known as the
crop. Draw these out.
Be sure to remove the kidneys,
which lie in a hollow near the end
OF the backbone. The lungs, =
bright red. spongy substance,
should be removed from the chest
walls.
Turn down the skin Of the neck
and chop OF the neck close to the
body. Save the neck. Leave a
couple OF inches of skin to fold
over. Cut OF the oil bag near the
rump. Run clean water through
the body and wipe with & damp
cloth.
Save heart. liver, and gizzard.
Cut into the giZzard until the In
ner sac comes into view. Pull on
the outer coat and remove the sc
and thrown it away. Wash the
giblets. Put them into a saucepan
with the neck and any pieces OF
skin. Cover with cold. slightly
salted water. Cook slowly until the
meat falls from the neck. The
broth may be used in making
gravy.
Here are a couple OF recipes for
good stuffings:
Chestnut StunInE.
One pint OF blanched cheStnuts,
< cup of butter, 1 teaspoonful salt,
1 pint finely chopped veal or sau-
sage meat or cracker crumbs, L
small onion grated, 1 teaspoonfui
lemon juice, tablespoonful chop
per parsley, teaspoonful celery
salt. pepper. Cream or stock to
Inoisten.
Potato Stuning,
Two cups of mashed potatoes. L
cup soft bread crumbs. 1 teaspoon
fuI poultry seasoning. teaspoonful
salt. finely chopped giblets, melted
butter TO moisten, 1 egg.
Draw the neck skin down and lay
over the back. Cross wings on
back, so as to hold this skin in
place. With a piece OF cord tie the
ends of the legs to the tail. =
Rub the bird over with melted fat
and salt. Place In oven on a roast
ing saddle breast down in the roast
ing pan. Roast in q hot oven until
brown. turning the bird after the
browning has begun. Baste every
ten minutes with the melted fat
that collects In the bottom OF the
pan. If there is not enough OF this,
= little boiling water may be added
To roughly estimate the time a
bird should be roasted. multiply the
number of pounds by half an hour.
After the bird is well started reduce
the heat in the oven
II you do not have turkey, a nice,
fat chicken Or a small duck or a
young goose may be prepared in q
similar manner.

Don't Do L.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Nearly every evening, while
talcng a walk, meet a certain
sailor boy, whom do not know,
except by sight He is very good
looking and manly. Often, see
him three times on the ave-
nue. In one evening. Not being
of die flirting kind, he never said
SHello" yet, but just simply
stSres at me with his big black
eyes Would 1t be considered i'm
proper for US to greet one another
without an introduction, which IS
practically impossible, as he
doesn't know my friends, nor do
I know his. IRENE.
1 do not believe in making cas-
sal acquaintance. II you cannot
be introduced in the regular way
don't greet this sailor boy. Try
10 see II you cannot meet him
through mutual friends.

Lessingham sat upon q faIlen

the scene OF his romantic descent,
and looked rather ruefuily over the
moorlands, seaward. Above him,
the sky was covered with little
masses Of quickly scudding clouds
4 fugitive and watery sunshine
shone feebiy upon a wind-tossed
sea and a rain-sodden landscape He
found a certain grim satisfaction In
comparing the disorderliness Of the
day with the tumult in his own life.
He felt that he had embarked upon
an enterprise greater than his ca
pacity, for which he was in many
ways entirely unsuitable. And be-

HINTS FOR THE
HOUSEHOLD

In choosing calico note well the
appearance of the selvedge and re-
member that the straighter and
more even the selvedge the better
the quality of the calico. White
calico owes its purity to bleaching
powders. which have a destructive
effect on the fibers OF the calico.
For good wearing qualities it Is
cheaper in every way to purchase
gray or unbleached calico, which,
though not beautiful to look upon
at first, improves each time IL is
washed, and particularly IL it is
spread on grass 10 dry in bright
sunlight. With bleached and un-
bleached calico, it is well to rub a
small piece over a damp surface SO
as TO see how far its thickness is
due to dressing. which is washed
out OF the calico when wetted.
The Washington times., 1918-11-16

To clean brass so that It retains
Its brightness for several days, use
paste made of powdered rotten
stone moistened with turpentine.
Tinware can be kept equally bright
II the polishing paste lie made Of
powdered whiting mixed with olive
oil. Soft rags should be employed

metal.

Cream Produced
Dear Mr.. Ogden:

While on the
Mesa lastweek / compiled the
cream shipments from different
stations for the past II months.
This data | feel sure will be Of
interet to readers Of the Spanish
American. cfA
In calculating the revenue the
farmers derived from the cream,
| have estimated the weight Of
the cream at s pounds per gallon
of can capacity, the average but
terfat test at 81 per cent and the
average price at SAC, SO the
total, while not absolutely accur-
ate approximately so. The data
is presented in the table delow.
No. Shippers from Roy 76, Amt.
shipped, 25, ,5S6, pounds, $lS,Sl6
Mills A shippers 30, 1874 lbs Sc, 43O
Solano 80 3S6OO $7,712.28
Mosquero II 1904 $2S76.43
Total IN shippers l5l.84O lbs.
$50, 1851.
About AZ 7n0 mounds of cream
was shipped from Roy lin 1914
and the shippers did uot exceed
fifty in number. The increase in
shipments, therefore, at Roy has
about S. per cent in 4 years, or
l4a per cent per year.
For the year ending August
81. l9l9,\ Solano shipped 26l9
gallons. The increase for that
station for the past five years
has been about 81 per cent, or a.
bout II per cent per year.
Inthis comparison it should be
borne in mind that 1918 is year
of extreme drought and consequ-
ent shortage of feed, whereas
1913 and 1914 were the wettest
years on record. The cream yield
is affected by fluctuations in pre-
c,pitation just as crop yields are
affected, although to less ex-
tent. Considering the limited a.
mount Of capital with which the
Mesa farmers arrived on their
homesteads, and all the adverse
conditions of pioneering on an~
u ldeveloped district, these cream
shipments make a very credit
fable showing and | venture to
predict that time will prove
there is no better cash crop for
the Mesa than cream.
Yors very truly
