You perhaps have st urdy boys
and girls who come in rat night
from work or play as hungry as
bears. asking eagerly what you
are preparing for dinner. Have
you ever seen look of keen dis
appointment spread over their glow
ing faces when you told them that
stew was in order? IL you have
had that discomfiting experience,
the next time you serve stew
and stews should be served fire.

light when you place OH the table
hot. savory. stew temptingly dis
closing snowy dumpling islands.
The first step in making them
is 10 measure carefully and silt
together two cupfuls of sifted pas
try flour, three teaspoonfhls of
baking powder, and one-haif tea
spoonful of salt. Then add slow
". mixing thoroughly, enough thin
cream or top milk to make soft
dough. The exact amount Of liquid
can not be given, as fiours vary,
but about three-fourths cupful VIII
probably be needed.
The procedure from this point
may follow one of two lines, either
one of which gives satisfactory re.
suits The dough may be dropped
by spoonfuls from the tip of
spoon into the boiling stew. In
doing this, second spoon proves
helpful, not only in preventing
burns which might occur from the
LIQUID splashing as the dumplings
drop, but also in the placing of
the dumplings, for care should be
taken to drop each<aone on piece
of meat or vegetable, if possible,
in order that Its may not become
immersed in the liquid. Ehe -eoQks
ing should be done by steaming
and not by boiling in the liquid.
Now cover the stew Kettle closely,
and steam twelve minutes.
If you prefer, instead of follow
ing this procedure, after having
thoroughly blended the milk with
the sifted flour mixture, toss the
dough on a. wellfIoured board.
Then either roll or pat it out

to cook, do not uncover the recep-

NAV cause them to fall, becoming
soggy instead of light and delicate
as they should be. At the end OF
twelve minutes test the dumplings
with a straw. If the straw comes
out clean, they are sufficiently
cooked and should be removed and
served at once.
For those who prefer a dump

Years Report
Shows an Increase
InCattle Tested to
Stop tuberculosis

A total of 1885 cattle were tested
In the State for tuberculosis during
the fiscal year from June 80, 1924, to
July l. 1925, and 1922 reactors were
found, or 1.4S per cent, according to
the report for the year given out
Thursday by H. M. Tucker, chief OF
the division Of animal industry, state
department of agriculture.
The report shows that the number
of cattle tested on the farms during
that period was 6S.437 and 1924 reac-
tors were found. or 1.49 per. cent; and
the number tested for interstate ship
ment was 1858 in which SO reactors
were found, or 1.35 pers cent.
During the preceding fiscal year
there were a total of 71,624 cattle
tested in the State, in which 1047 re-
actors were found, or LAT per cent.
The fact that the percentage of re-
actors found this last year is slightly
higher than that of the, preceding
year is due chiefly, Mr.. Tucker re-
ports, to the larger amount of testing
work recently carried on in York
county where there is more bovine
tuberculosis than any other part of
the State. In that county alone dur
ing the fiscal year recently ended
total of 3172 cattle were tested and
236 reactors were found. or a total of
IA per cent. About one-fifth of all
the reactors in the State, were found
In York county.
Some sections of York county are
