while making a cake of cheap but
ter or storage eggs. Unless very
fresh, eggs do not beat well, and
genuine butter or the best vege-
table shortening makes a differ
ence not only in the texture but in
the quality. With the approach Of
holidays, everyone is eager to
make fancy cakes and cookies at
home. It is surprising how easy 1t
is to make . quantity and at how
little expense. Cookie mixtures
should be chilled or kept in the ice
box over night before being rolled
out in order to be crisp and thin.
Good flavoring extracts are I'M
portant as are also the quality OF
the sugar. Coarse sugar makes
the cake coarse and crumbly. Too
much shortening makes II crumbly
and soggy. It is, therefore, best
to use q reliable measuring cup
and q measuring spoon.
There h . series Of several
spoons fastened to one handle
which measures everything from
" teaspoonful to q tablespoon. A
glass graduated measure will tell
you in both pounds, ounces and
liquid what amounts you are using.
Cake-baking Is one Of the most ex.
act kinds Of cooking. Care and
accuracy will reward you, and fire.

the perfect, light and delicious

TO lessons In cooking would
IN be complete without in
struction in making a good
cake. Every young housewife is
extremely proud when she lays on
the table a cake of her own crea-
tion. The ability to make delicate
and attractive cakes lends variety
to the menu and furnishes sugar
and fat in a wholesome form, espe-
cially in colder weather. Good
cake should be given to the rapidly
growing boy or girl, and few COM
mercial crackers or store cakes
equal the homemade kind In fla
vor and food value.
There are two important secrets
in all cake baking-the mixture or
batter itself, and the baxing after
1t is in the pan. Let US talk about
these mixtures which are Of two
distinct kinds, either sponge" or
butter" As we know, q cake be-
comes light by means Of beating,
by the air enclosed in beaten eggs
and because of an active agent like
baking powder, the gas Of which
expands and thus lightens the mix
ture.
In true sponge mixture, the
cake depends for its lightness on
beating, beaten eggs and baking
powder. II contains no butter or
other shortening. Cakes Of this
class are the familiar sponge, angel
food, sunshine, etc. In this type
of cake, beating and folding must
take the place Of stirring. That Is,
the ingredients are whipped to-
gether with light touch and some
form of egg-beater and not turned
firmly with a heavy spoon as in

MAKE LIVE STOCK BETTER

The man who fuses, fumes and
cusses because his live stock does not
bring the top of the market usually
has himself to blame. The South
has plenty of live stock; but that
live stock is not good enough to
command the top of the market.
Read this piece of an editorial taken
from the Southern Agriculturist:
But even more than Southern
farms need more live stock, do they
need better live stock and better car.
of the stock now on them. Unless
the quality Of your live stock is con-
siderably above the average, and I'M
less you are a better breeder and
caretaker than the average Southern
farmer, you need to improve the
quality of your live stock and to give
your animals better care, even more
than you need to increase the num-
Der of them. In fact, the deficiency
in the number of live stock in this
section may be more directly due
than we sometimes think TO the
sorry quality of so many of them and
the poor feeding and care that SO
many of them get.
