lage newspaper wherein he had en-
countered an example of the linotype’s
peculiar perversity ‘‘In his article on
the death of Lafe Dabsack who be
twixt me and you hadn't much to
Tecommend him except tbt he wasn’t
-quite as bad sometimes as he was oth-
ers he says that ‘the deceased was
generally regarded as hijjdyt89mfwrd-

hs anybody couM get to making an
estimate of the departed without hurt-
ing his relatives' feelings" — Puck

FOR VARIOUS MEATS
By Martha McCulloch Williama
Every manner of meat even the
humblest may be made tender and
palatable by means of paper bag cook-
ing if only the cook knows how and
Is willing to take the pains Even the
humble pig’s head and feet An ex-
treme example you Bay! Try It — and
see if you incline to gainsay further
Scrape the outer skin very clean cut
off the ears and nose of the head
scalding both head and feet well and
removing all removable Integument
outside and in The brains of course
will have been removed Break off any
sharp projecting bones from either
head or feet blanch them by pouring
boiling water upon them taking out
and dropping In very cold water then
drain and season lightly with salt Lay
In a large well-greased paper bag with
a stalk or two of celery If at band and
a single slice of onion The pepper and
herbs come In later Add half a pint to
a pint of cold water according to the
bulk of the meat seal bag tight lay
on trivet set in hot oven for five min-
utes then reduce heat two-thirds and
cook for five or six hours Take up
empty into a bowl and as soon as It
can possibly be handled pick up re-
moving all bones The gristle will
have dissolved Now add the season-
ing — pepper powdered herbs especial-
ly sage a bare dash of tarragon vine-
gar and a bare suspicion of garlic If
there is much liquid add either Blfted
cornmeal or bread crumbs both
browued In the oven Pack smooth in
an earthen mould and let get cold
There will be headcheese worth eating
Nor Is stuffed pork tenderloin which
Is as full of relish as either goose or
turkey or even the lordly baron of j
roast beef to be disdained Get large
fat tenderloins have them split but
the halves left together down the side
lay a good breadcrumb or mashed po-
tato stuffing highly seasoned with
butter or drippings pepper sage and
onion In the split skewer the edges
together over the stuffing and cook
In a well greased bag with a very little
water until well done This is special-
ly economical In that there Is no bona
to be thrown away
Either a fresh ham or shoulder
boned stuffed and cooked In a paper
bag will furnish a mlgbty satisfying
dinner meat The oven ought to be
very hot and stay to for seven to ten
minutes depending on the size of the
meat Then alack heat one-half and
cook until thoroughly done
A square of rib-pork the akin cut In
checkers well seasoned and baked In a
paper bag with apples or sweet po-
tatoes about It will need no water
only a well greased bag Sparerlbs can
be pagor bag baked If care la used In
handling them to see that the rib-ends
do not go through the paper Loin-
roast cooked thus with either apples
or potatoes or white potatoes with a
slice or two of onion will make any
hungry soul rejoice
Perfect capon Is none so plenty In
the markets but if to be had Is the
best of all poultry Get a big bird —
eight to nine pounds Stuff but not
too tight putting a handful In the
crop-space Truss extra firmly fas-
tening thin slices of bacon over the
breast and thighs underneath the trus-
sing strings Giense all the rest of
the bodv liberally with soft butter put
a little butter under the bacon on the
breast then pop into a loose-fitting
well greased paper bag lay on a trivet
set on broiler In hot oven let cook
till bag coiners turn very brown then
lack heat half or even a little more
If the heat Is fierce and cook for in
hour and a half to an hour and three-
quarters Choose your goose young and fat
en though you know the paper bag
will make a tough bird tender Singe
wash and drain the same as capon
and hanging In a cold place a day and
night Improves It For the stuffing
boll mild onions very tender slicing
them and letting them lie In salt water
half an hour bpfore conking A
medium goose will take two to six ou
Ions according to size and two or
four apples Peel and slice them cook
soft with the onions adding a very lit-
tle chopppd celery Mash all together
then add to mnsbed potato enough to
fill the goose hut not too full Season
with salt and popper also a table-
spoonful of powdered aage and a liny

burning then add a pint of milk Cover
closely and bring gently to the boll
Then draw the pan to the side of the
Ore and simmer slowly for rather inoio
than a quarter of an hour when the
rice should have absorbed all the milk
and he perfectly tender Withdraw
the pan from the fire and allow the
mlxtuie to cool a little Then add the
pinch of mixed herbs Add a large
spoonful of lard or butter stir It well
through the hot mass let It cool a bit
then stuff the goose which has been
seasoned inside and out truss very
firmly rub over well with lard butter

ful of cold salt water seal and set In

a quick oven ten to twelve minutes
Serve on a very bot dish
BAKING FAVORITE CAKES
Taper bag cooking betters cakes as
much as It does meat or pastry Please
to keep this fact in mind Also the
fact that you should never try to make
cakes at haphazard Instead take a
day or several days off from bridge
and shopping and give your whole
mind to the matter In hand Decide
first what cakes you care to make
then reckon up what you will need
to make them of Many a good cake
has been saddened past all remedy
through waiting at the wrong minute
for some essential Ingredient over-
looked In the general buying
Never melt butter unless melted but-
ter Is specifically called for In your
receipt Set the butter crock outside
the refrigerator for several hours be-
fore you need Its contents — the
kitchen temperature will make the but-
ter Just right for creaming Keep
eggs cool — they beat light the quicker
for It Always add a tiny pinch of
salt to the whites In beginning to
froth them — It makes the frothing
easier and Improves the taste Eggs
It Is needless to say must be above
suspicion Sift flour and set it where
it will get warm and dry without
scorching then sift it again before
using it Measure it after the second
sifting and If baking powder or soda
and cream tartar are to be put In it
add them to the measured bulk and
sift a third time
Cake must be beaten well and thor-
oughly If you want It firm yet light
and of fine close texture Sweet milk
helps to this fine texture Sour milk
or cream contrarywlse tends to a
coarse bubbly grain
Prepare fruit over night If possible
Two such flavors as lemon and va-
nilla vanilla and rose-water or rose-
water and almond give to cake a tang
as delicious as It Is unusual A spoon-
ful of brandy or even a good corn
whiskey beaten well through the caks
Just before the flavoring— which
should be put In the very last thing—
will make the cake lighter better col-
ored and of better keeping quality
Sift spices through part of the flour
adding the spiced flour alternately
with what Is left plain Always sift
sugar and more than once If It Is
clammy Warming It gently helps to
make light cake It should be sifted
afresh after the warming
As I have said paper bag cooking
betters cake aa much aa it does meat
or pastry It can ba done In the bags
but I advise using In conjunction with
the bags cither paper souffle-cases or
very thin tin moulds square oblong
or round or cases made from the bags
themselves
To make a square paper-bag mould
spilt In half a bag of the largest size
crpase each half gently all round about
three Inches from the cut edges and
fold up each corner neatly clipping
the folds firmly with two or even three
dips Brush over this mould liberally
with soft butter taking caie to cover
every fiber Fill threo parts with rake
batter then slip the loaded moull
inside a big greased bag which rests
upon a wire trivet Seal the outer bag
taking care that it does not presa
down the empty upper edges of the
mould Inside prick two or three small
holes In Its upper side and set the
trivet on the broiler In a very hot
oven Put on the shelf above It a
shallow pan filled half way with boil-
ing water and on the floor underneath
a pan with a little cold water Close
the oven door and leave for ten min-
utes Take out the water pans then
and after two or three minutes slack
beat one-half and finish baking The
time will of course depend on the
size and kind of cake
Paper bag baklngia a little quicker
and ever bo much more certain
Smnll patty pans or fancy-ahaped
muffin moulds filled with cake batter
nnd baked inside bags will afford an
almost Infinite variety of ornamented
good things

Figures and Facts Compiled
Cash From Kafir and Corn
Tho Kansas State Board of Agri-
culture Issues annual reports based
upon assessors’ returns showing the
acreage and value of every crop
grown This work has been In
charge of F D Coburn for eighteen
consecutive years and his reports are
everywhere recognized as absolutely
dependable
The ’ following statement of the
cash value of kafir corn and corn for
the past eleven years was compiled
from these published reports A
careful study of It is commended to
those who are repeating the state-
ment that Indian corn yields more
than kafir corn and who In other
ways display their entire lack of
THE HOUSE THAT
Home of F E Newell Valley Springs Farm Washita County West-
ern Okla Mr Newell says: “Kafir Corn Did It ‘
knowledge of what they are talking
about
Value per acre
sas the average cash return from an
acre of kafir corn during the past
eleven years was 2394 percent great-
er than from an acre of corn The
figures are based on the total acre-
age planted to these crops during that
period'
Corn turned ofT more money than
kafir corn In but three years out of
the eleven and In each case the dif-
ference per acre was less than a dol-
lar In 1910 the value of kafir corn per
acre was more than three times the
value of corn In 1911 an acre of
kafir corn brought more than twice
aa much money as an acre of corn
It’s not likely that the best land
was planted to kafir corn or that It
bad as good cultivation as corn
Safe Farming in Oklahoma
Farmers who planted an acre if
blackhull white kafir corn In the i
spring of 1911 for each ten dollars !

ask to have their notes renewed j
Those who had an acre of kafir corn i
for each ten dollars borrowed didn’t
come In and ask the banks to take
their livestock and release the chat-
tel mortgages covering them They
paid the notes instead

as many acres of blackhull while
kafir corn in April as he intends to
plant to cotton in May and if some
of the cotton falls to make a stand
plant that land to dwarf mllo maize
In June Instead of replanting to cot-
ton not one of them would ever
need to spend his cotton money for
feed It would be loft clear to pay
his debts
Not less than ten acres of black-
hull white kafir corn should be plant-
ed In April and May every year on
every farm In Oklahoma When
drouth comes It produces as much as
corn averages In the best years and
the better the soil and the season the
higher the yields of kafir corn On
the larm of the Oklahoma Agricul-
tural Experiment Station In 1911 kafir
KAFIR CORN BUILT
corn made 56 bushels per acre and
corn made nothing
Corn should be planted only on
bottom lands
And every acre of good rich bot-
tom land in Oklahoma should be put
to alfalfa as soon as possible
The washy soils hillsides rough
places alkali lands and low over-
flow bottoms should be set to hardy
Bermuda grass
The smooth tillable uplands should
be planted to kafir chrn for a sure
crop of grain for feed and sale cow-
peas and Spanish peanuts for feed
and forage and Improving the soil
and to oats wheat broom corn and
cotton as cash crops wherever the
soil and climate are suitable
Those who follow such a system of
farming stick to it and feed most of
their products td livestock are the
ones who will own the farms of Ok-
lahoma ten and twenty years from
now
This is the doctrine which the Ok-
lahoma Farm Journal has been
preaching for more than ten years
and which if it had been followed by
all of the farmers of Oklahoma In-
stead of by only a portion of tbe fif-
ty thousand who read the Journal reg-
ularly would have robbed the drouth
of 1911 of all of Its terrors And In
good years this same plan works all
the better not only for farmers but
for every line of business depending
upon the certain and regular produc-
tion of crops

Alcohol may be made from kafir
