TWIN CAKES SAVE
TIME AND WORK

Twin cakes" settle the vexing
question of what to do with the egg
yolks left from the white cake
Also they are a saving of time and
work.
A devils food cake requiring three
egg yolks is made in the home econ
omics department of the University
O. Wisconsin as follows: Sift l
teaspoon cream of tarter and l teas
poon soda with scant cups of flour.
Measure II of cup of unsweetened
chocolate, 1s cup of butter or butter
and lard mixture, cup of sugar,
cup of sweet milk, and / teaspoon OF
fiavoring. Melt the chocolate and
warm the fat until soft. Seperat :
three egg yolks. Add all the ingre-
dents. Beat until smooth, and bake
for 20 minutes in 2 layers.
A white cake which requires three
egg whites may be made in this
way: Sift 2 teaspoons Of baking
powder with cups of sifted flour.
Measure u cup of butter, cup Of
sugar, n cup of milk, and l teas
pooh of favoring. Warm the butter
until soft. Combine the three I'M
beaten egg whites with all the in
gradients and beat until smcoth
Bake for 20 minutes in a quick oven
1t is always necessary to sift
the flour before measuring be
cause sifted flour packs more lightly
in cup than unsifted flour. Pastr,
flour is often used because it makes
the cake tender. All measurements
should be level.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
By H. G. seyfOrth.

November 16 to % is National
Honey Week. 1t is hoped that dur
ing that week everybody will pur-
chase some honey as it is natural
sweet and has no i'll effects on the
digestive system. 1t is one of the
most healthy sweets known. When
you purchase honey, insist that you
get Pierce county honey, as it Is the
finest honey produced in the north
west. We have a large number OF
bee keepers in the county who pro-
duce large quantities Of honey and
there is a good supply for all.
On Monday, November II, a meet
ing of interest to Bee Keepers will
be held. Those keeping bees and
those interested in bee keeping are
invited to attend. Mr.. H. F. Wilson
from the Economics Entomology De
partment will be the chief speaker
on the program.
Red Clover seed is reported to be
about 10 to Is per cent smaller yield
this year even though a larger acre
age was saved for seed than last
year. There being consider able rain
during the fall months smaller
amount Of seed developed and the
yield was cut down considerable. 1t
would be good plan for the farmer
to purchase his clover seed this fall
or early winter as it will insure him
Of getting the best seed obtainable.
Every patron delivering cream to
a creamery should attend the Butter
Scoring Demonstration at Ellsworth,
November 20. Mr.. Toteman, the
chief speaker, will give you some
very valuable information in regard
tc improving the quality of butter
in your local creamery.
Quite a few boys and girls are
starting out in Club Work for the
next year. They have already en-
rolled and are starting to work on
their projects. 1t is hoped that n
number of others will do the same so
that they will be able to have more
complete record of their projects.
The two swine fee hing demonstra-
lions held the past week were not as
well attended as they might have
been. Probably the reason for this
was that the weather is very good
and farmers are taking advantage Of
it by getting their fall work COM
pleted.
The farmer using rape pasture,
and having 33 pigs in the project

WOLFE TELLS OF
ANTI-MOSQUITO
FIGHT IN 1903
Says Pests Do Not Breed
in Weeds, But Only
in Water.

In regard to the anti-mosquitO cam
paign to be inaugurated soon by the
city and public schools. L. e. Wolfe,
former superintendent of city schools,
has issued the following statement.
The San Antonio Health Depart
ment is putting on a campaign for the
study and determination of mosquitoes
in which the schools of the city will
cooperate. Fifteen thousand circu-
lars will be printed by the health de-
partment at once for distribution to
the private and public schools through
the school board office. Mayor Tobin
and DR.. King are very much in earnest
in this campaign, and there is every
reason to believe that the campaign
will be as effective as that Of 1904.
Mayor Tobin has assured me that
every effort is being made BY him per-
sonally to abate all water holes in
the city, and that he will take great
pleasure in printing sufficient num-
Der of circulars to supply all San An
tonic homes. DIR. Rhodes, superin-
tendent of San Antonio public schools,
has given his assurance that the pub
lie schools will cooperate effectively
in this work.
II am writing this because I wish
to say something for which there is
not room in the official circular, and
to try to inspire the people of San
Antonio to begin this campaign at
once, before the mosquitoes have be-
gun to breed. If a bear or lion should
escape from its confinement and be
roaming at large in San Antonio our
citizens would be greatly frightened.
Yet, where wild animals kill one hui
man being mosquitoes kill hundreds of
thousands. AS mosquitoes live only
two or three weeks, it is comparative
ly easy to rid a city of them. This
campaign is being made not because
San Antonio has more mosquitoes than
the average City but because we rea-
lie the great benefit Of freedom from
mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
"One of the most effective things
that can be done in the schools is to
breed mosquitoes in small screened
jars, from eggs or wigglers, thus DEM
onstrating that mosquitoes come from
wigglers and that wigglers can live
only in water. 1t is discouraging that
so many apparently intelligent citizens
talk about mosquitoes breeding in
weeds. They only hide in weeds.
''In most cases where homes are
annoyed by mosquitoes, they are being
bred either on the premises or nearby.
This was demonstrated time and again
during our campaign Of 1904. II
ought to be understood .hat'no one can
be a good citizen who is so careless as
to breed mosquitoes on his premises
and thus annoy himself and his
neighbors, and often expose them TO
malaria or dcngue fever. The city
