MASSACHUSETTS SEEKS
SUNDAY BASEBALL NOW
Golf and Tennis May Also Be Legal
lied by Legislature in
Few Weeks.

BOSTON, Dec. 27.-With the Nassa-
chusetts Legislature about to convene
next week, earnest efforts are being
made to have Sunday baseball, golf and
tennis legalized between the hours of
> and o'clock. So much interest is
being shown in this effort that it is
thought Sunday sports will be al
lowed in time for the major league
clubs to play baseball here in 1920.
Sunday baseball has proved n big
success in New York and Washing
ton. No disorders have accompanied
the legalizing of the game, but only
good has resulted. Among the strong
est supporters of the proposed law
are the veterans of the 4. T.. f.

Cochran, British Promoter,
Says French Champion Is
Extremely Popular.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Georges Car
pentier will be made a betting favorite
over Jack Dempsey If they meet in
Europe. according to an opinion ex-
pressed today by Charles b. Cochran,
the London promoter.
Europe is wild over Carpenter"
said Cochran. "The boxing fans over
there cannot be led to believe that
there is man in the world who can
beat him. The reason i will not be
surprised to see Georges made a prime
favorite over Dempsey in the betting,
provided they meet in Europe"
Cochran also threw more light on
the contract with Carpenter. He, as ;
serts that it binds the Frenchman
to an agreement to meet no one with

such as decay or decaying fruits ano
vegetables as wei as odors coming
from the kitchen where meats ano
vegetables are being cooked A coll
spring offers one of the best and
cheapest places for the storing OF
milg or cream. An iceless refriger-
ator which can be made on any farm
is also a good place for storing the
dairy products. The method OF low
cring a vessel containing milk into a
well it satisfactory, but inconvenlent.
The ice box is a good way to keep
milk or cream, but the use of ice
on the farm is rather expensive. The
custom of placing cans in tubs OF
tanks of cold water is one of the SIM
plest and most effective means for
controlling the temperature.
Dry cellars are satisfactory for
storing cream under certain condi-
tons. The fact that the tempera-
ture of the cellar floor, as a rule, is
lower than the temperature of the at
mosphere is no guarantee that the
cellar is sufficiently cold for the stor-
ing of cream or butter. The tenn
perature of the cellar may vary from
50 to as high as rs degrees, depend
ing on the season, time of day ant

low temperature A damp, dark
musty cellar is very bad storag;

Cream should not be stored in a
refrigerator that is used for variety
of food stuffs. Cream absorbs odors
very readily and butter made from
such cream viii have fruit or vegeta-

stuffs. While all refrigerators should

| It is of especial importance if used
for cream.
Storing cream in the kitchen or
living room is undesirable both from
The standpoint of temperature and
also from the danger of contaminat-
| ing the cream with foreign odors and
! favors. Instances have been found
where the cream was kept in the sit
| ting room with the temperature as
high as SO degrees F. The cream,
as result of being exposed to this
high temperature for several days
became exceedingly sour. The acid in
the cream may precipitate the casein
and large Jumps of curd will be found
throughout the cream, especially al
the bottom of the can. Under these
conditions the cream will develop q
very strong, cheesy flavor which
can be tasted in the butter made from
it.

COOL AND CLEAN CREAM

Care used in keeping cream free
from contamination and at the
proper temperatures until time for

is the advice given by R. H. Mason,
assistant professor of dairy husband
ry, college of agriculture, University
of Arkansas.
Milk should be strained and put
in cool place as soon as possible
after it is drawn from the COW. The
cans should be well covered to keep

places where milk and cream may be

HOME AGENT SUGGESTS
SUGARLESS RECIPES

Ii is quite a simple matter to pre-
pare many of the sweets to which we
are accustomed without sugar, ac'
cording to Miss Irene Smith, county
demonstration agent for Pope county,
who collected great deal of valua-
BILE information and tried number
of recipes for cooking without sugar
which have proven satisfactory.
Honey, cane syrup, moiasses,
maple syrup, corghum and corn syrap
comprise list of sweetening ageAes,
at least one of which any housewife
can easily obtain" says Miss Smith
.In general, one cup of sugar may
be replaced by one cup of hone, cane
syrup, molasses, maple syrup or sor-
phum. Corn syrup is not as sweet
as sugar, therefore it is necessary to
use one-half of cor nsyrup with one
half of any one of the above sweet
ening agents. When syrups are
used for sweetening, the batter is no.
ticebaly thin Cakes made from such
batter require slow baking in order
that the extra moisture may evapo-
rate. If honey or sorghum is baked
at high temperature it becomes
anu llidhCS q ueA w
cake of unpleasant flavor.
''In cooking fruits it vii be no.
ticed that lon, slow cooking developes
sweetness as well as flavor. There
fore it will not be necessary to add
much water to fresh fruits, especially
apples, in order that this sweetness
may be concentrated. When dried
fruits are used care should be taken
to preserve as much of the stored-up
sugar as possible. This is best done
by washing the fruit rapidly then
covering with the required amount of
cold water one and a half parts of |
water to one part of fruit, allow to
soak several hours or over night. |
The fruit should then be cooked in
the same water in which it was
soaked. When thus prepared, most
dried fruits will require very little |
added sweetening. Moreover, excel |
lent combinations of several fruits
may be made, as apples and raisin,s

INCREASE OF CATTLE IN EAST

The part of the United States that
lies east of the Mississippi river had
a diminished fraction of the farm
and range cattle of the United States
until soon after 1900, on account of
the growing number of farms and
the increasing utilization of ranges
west of that river. The country east
of the river had "A per cent of the
farm cattle in 1900, 30 per cent in
1890, and 26 per cent in 1900. By
1910 the tendency toward relative
loss of cattle east of the river Tas
reversed, and by 1919 the increasing
fraction had reached 81 per cent OF
the total farm cattle of the whole
country.
