fruit cake, in all their endless vari-
ations. These are all made with
butter or some other fat The other
cake family Is the sponge" type
yellow sponge, angel food, chocolate
feather cake, and so on come under
this head. This variety is made with
out fat.
The bureau goes into a good deal
of detail on the cake subject, as
follows:
In the So-called butter cakes,
the cake mixture is really a rich,
sweet muffin batter. 1t contains the
same ingredients-fat, flour, liquid,
eggs and leavening-but with more
fat, more sugar and more eggs than
in muffin batter. All the cakes of this
family are made with these same
basic ingredients, in different pro-
portions according to the cake texture
desired.
"A CAKE recipe must be balanced
- however. When the quantity Of
one ingredient is changed, others must
be changed. When something is added,
to give a different flavor or texture,
the quantities of all ingredients must
be. checked up with reference to what
the new ingredient supplies, using
less fat, for instance, if nuts are
! added to the batter, less -four If
chocolate is added, and so on. 1t is
because of the effects of the different
| ingredients on each other that there
are so many cake recipes, despite
| the fact that the basic ingredients are
always the same.
Many cakemakers think OF the
butter cakes as four types, according
to richness--plain cake, standard OF
| foundation cake, rich cake, and pound
cake. The plain cake has least fat
only u cup of fat to cup Of sugar
212 cups of flour, l egg, and "a cur
of liquid. Because this cake has 81
| little fat and dries out so quickly, il
| is used fresh, oftentimes hot-as cur
cakes, cottage pudding, Washington
, pie or Boston cream pie, and pine
apple upside down cake. 1t is a gooc
batter to use for surprise cake-littlt
cup cakes with dried fruit, or blue
berries or nuts, in the center. Thi
recipe calls for cake -four, as DO thu
other recipes here discussed-a soft
wheat -four, with weak gluten.
Stand or foundation cake, is richeI
than plain cake-it has more fat
more sugar, and more eggs. The pro
portions run thus: y cup of fat. J:
cups of sugar, or 3 eggs, 22s cups o

a good basis for nut cake, spice cake
or chocolate cake. For chocolate
favored batter, however, the recip
must be changed to reduce the amour

\ element of humor, so much

have to do with smoking head the
list and are assured of a hearty
welcome.
The pipe rack sketched above will,
no doubt, please the man who likes
to choose between several pipes when
he sits down to read his evening

maple wood rack, and the dogs head
above adds the necessary contributing

To take care Of a large supply OF

prefer a humidor that holds 2
pounds. One of these in hobnail
glass with wooden top provides q
giant gift. For the man who likes
to flavor up his tobacco a bit. there
is a humidor With four compartments
each for a different kind of tobacco
which may be blended to suit the
individual taste. and within the
cover in a sealed container there is
rum fiavoring that may be allowed
to diffuse aroma through the contents
of the can.

IF THE gentleman in question pre-
u fers cigarets he might be keen
about a tricky wooden box with a
little Irish terrier, nicely hand carved
sitting beside it quietly gnawing or
a bone. The trick lies in pressing
your finger on the bone which re-
leases one cigaret in the humldoI
and allows it to roll out at the
bottom.
A round cigaret box, on the tor
of which a PekingeSe reposes bliss
fully, is another doggie item for YOU

wood or in black and white combina-
tions of bakelite, and are reasonably
priced at $3.50.

CoRN.HoG REDUCTION CON
TRACTS
CON.

April / has been set as the closing
date for signing 1895 Corn-Hog Re-
duction Contracts, it was announced
by County Aguet ]. 2. Miller at
meetings which were held at Rising
Sun and Calvert, Monday afternoon
and night, and at Chesapeake City
Tuesday afternoon.
In 1895, corn-hog farmers OF the
United States again are being offered
a voluntary control program for hold
ing their production in line with eff
fective demand and for sharing In
the resulting benefits. This course
of action was endorsed by a Two
thirds majority of the producers who
voted in the October referendum and
is warranted by the current economic
outlook. A burdensome surplus of
corn in the fall of 1896, followed
within two years by heavy hog pro-
duc+ion and lower prices, is virtual
certainty unless a large percentage
of farmers agree this coming spring
to hold paintings within reasonable
limits.
According to past history in the
United States a severe drought, and
short corn crop such as we had In
1884, is usually followed by an ex-
pansion of corn acreage and exces-
sive production. 1t is hoped that
the 1885 Corn-Hog Adjustment Pro-
gram will help to prevent this un-
favorable situation.
The 1885 program in some re-
spects is more attractive than last
years program. Some of the items
of special interest are:
1. There are no contracted acres
required this year.
q. The land taken out of corn may
be used without restriction.
8. The corn payments are IS cents
per bushel.
a. Corn reduction may be any
where between 1919 and 30%
s. The hog reduction payments
are SIS per head.
6. Only 1919 reduction of the
1928 adjusted average hog sales
is required.
The Cecil County farmers desiring
a 1895 Corn-Hog Contract should
make application before April /.
