When you are having an afternoon
party and want to serve baking powder
biscuits, cut the biscuit dough into
very small rounds. Moisten the top of
one biscuit with little rich milk and
place second biscuit on top of it. When
baked these tea biscuits are attrac-
tive in shape, easy to open, and delici-
GUS when spread with butter or served
with honey or preserves.
Apple butter can be made with or
without cider Farmers Bulletin 900-F
tells how to prepare it more quickly
than by the old-fashioned methods,
and suggests variations, such as apple
butter with grape juice, plums, rhubarb,

buffers. Pear butter is made like apple
butter without cider. Lemon juice
ginger cinnamon, and other spices are
used for flavoring. Peach butter is also
recommended, and Garfield" butter,
two thirds plums and one-third
peaches. All of these fruit buffers help
to make use of surplus material, and
give wholesome variety to the winter
menus.
Many farm chickens and turkeys
reach the market in poor condition be-
cause they are not killed and bled
properly. Hang up the bird by it's
feet on a wire hook When killing it,
grasp it by the bony part of the skull.
Don't hold a bird by the neck-this
often causes discolored spots. Use a
sharp pointed, narrow-blade knife
Make small cut inside the mouth
on the right side of the throat, cutting
downward and to the right. Thrust
the knife through the groove along
the middle of the roof of the mouth
until it pierces the brain. Hanging the
bird head down and Draining it care
fully make it bleed well. Poorly bled
poultry shows dark, blood filled veins
and redeemed areas of skin, which mar
the appearance and make the flesh spoil
more quickly.
Potatoes to be held for table use
are best stored at temperature of from
40 degrees to so degrees F. If kept at
lower temperatures they will become
more or less sweet, rendering them un-
palatable to most people. However, if
it is desired to keep them longer than
to months they will begin to sprout
and at that time the storage temper
allure should be lowered to from SO
degrees to 38 degrees F. where they
will keep dormant indefinitely. Most
of the sweetness resulting from storage
at these temperatures will disappear
after or days at ordinary room tenn
peratureS. Seed stock may be handled
the same as table stock, or if desired
may be stored at SO degrees to SO de-
grees F. after preliminary curing stor-
age at around so degrees for about 10
days after digging.
There is no reason why consumers
should discriminate against ''processed'
eggs, says the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. Processing treating the
shells, preserving the eggs-is not more
Objectionable than the pasteurizing of
milk. 1t preserves the flavor and keeps
the eggs from deteriorating. House
keepers have for some time packed
eggs in water glass or in salt or brine.
The newest method, which is now used
commercially, is to dip them in a spec
ial mineral oil, which seals the pores
OF the shell but does not penetrate
the contents at all. Eggs treated in
this way when fresh may be held in
cold storage for several months with
out material deterioration, says the de.
partment.
