VALUE OF COLD STORAGE
A Sl Louis dealer declared to a cod
Wention of egg and poultry men that
“It ! the cold-storage men wbo in'
ur cheap eggs Instead of high-priced
ones as some legislator would have
vs believe Were It not tor cold
storage eggs would go to one’ dollar
a dozen In winter and In some places
would be absolutely unobtainable
says the Omaha Bee Qf course cold
stoiage boosts the price occasionally
la the summer but If It did not farm
ers In that season could not get more
than two or three cents a dozen for
their eggs" No doubt much of this
Is strikingly true The cold-storage
plant Is indeed a level er of condi-
tions not only for eggd but many
other articles of produce and when
properly conducted with the purpose
of serving natural needs and condi-
tions the cold storage becomes a
most valuable economic factor The
trouble is that It Is not always so con'
ducted Its potential harm equals its
potential good and unfortunately
selfish men have exploited this fact
to their own advantage and the con-
sumers' detriment It is this misman-
agement of the cold-storage system
Itself against which remedial legisla-
tion is directed

COOKING CHILDRENS GOODIE8
By Martha McCulloch Williams '
Lives there a child with appetite so
dead that bis mouth -never waters
when the word "Goody" is mentioned?
Goodies of all sorts are the especial
gastronomic delight of all children
and let me add that goodies' of all
sorts can be made more digestible
and more delicious by being cooked
in paper bags
It was an acute social observer who
wrote: “Housekeepers Instinctively
add grease and sweetening when cook
ing for company" The same rule
ought to prevail In cooking for chll-
dren Food cannot be too rich for
young thriving creatures provided It
is properly proportioned Perfect
pound cake is a meal in Itself ginger-
bread as perfect but little less satis-
fying while as for tea cakes of the
right sort crisp sugary melting' an
active healthy child may eat all it
chooses of them and be better for
the eating
Make all these not merely good but
attractive to the eye Make also
sponge cake ralBln cake and many
manners of fancy tartlets Make them
Individual— in that will He the su-
preme charm
Begin by cutting a big bag length-
wise into strips two inches wide
Grease each strip half an inch ' from
one edge and cut blunt notches (nto
the crease three-quarters of an inch
apart From another bag split open
cut rounds or ovals four to five inches
across Fasten the notched strips to
these with small clips letting the
notches stand outside and clipping the
ends where they come together Thus
you have a flat-bottomed individual
mould to be filled after buttering
with anything you like Filled the
moulds are slid Inside a large lightly
greased bag the bag set on a trivet
and after sealing baked In the oven
Let the cakes cool in the moulds
then tear away the paper and frost
them or decorate them with candy or
nuts
Here Is Mammy’s Pound Cake — and
better never went in anybody’s mouth
Take ten egga a pound of flour sifted
with two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar
and one of soda a pound of sifted
sugar three-quarters of a pound of
best butter a wineglass of brandy or
sherry a tablespoonful lemon extract
Cream the butter very light with half
the sugar add the other half to the
yolks of the eggs after beating them
foamy light and then beat again Put
in the butter and sugar mix well add
the liquor next then half the flour
putting in a cupful at a time Fold in
next part of the egg whites which
should be beaten so stiff that they
will stick to the inverted dish ' Add
the rest of the flour then the last of
the egg-white Stir In the lemon ex-
tract last of all Pour into thickly
buttered bags or very thin tin moulds
thickly buttered Seal the loaded bags
and set on a trivet In the oven Put
moulds inside greased bags seal and
put on the grid shelf Have the-oven
hot enough to turn white paper yellow
in five minutes If the paper scorches
it is too hot — cool It by setting a very
shallow pan of cold water upon the
floor Just before putting In the cake
Take out the pan after a few minutes
of course first turning down the gas
flame or pushing In the dampers to
reduce heat Cook at moderate heat
until done through It will take an
hour to an hour and a half accord-
ing to the thickness of the cakes
Midway the baking they should be
shifted — those from the grid shelf set
low on the broiler those from the
broiler put high so that they will cook
evenly Make boles In the bag tops
A Paper Bag Dinner
By Nicolas Soyer Chef
Duckling with Turnips: Thoroughly
butter a paper bag place the duckling
inside cut a few slices of carrot and
turnip into fancy shapes cut up a
few blanched spring onions and add
bouquet garnL Pour in three ta-
blespoonfuls of tomato sauce and a
wlneglassfdl of Madeira Season with
salt and pepper according to taste
Cook for forty-five to fifty-five min-
utes according to the size of the bird
Chicken a la Reine: Take a fowl
trussed as for boiling and rub It well
over with a split onion Place It in
a well-greased bag and add to It a gill
of good stock Add also a sprig of
parsley a bay leaf a sprig of sweet
herbs and if obtainable two or
three spring onions all tied together
Take four ounces of well-cooked rice
and add it to the fowl Place the
bag on the broiler simmer very slow-
ly In a moderate oven until the fowl
is cooked then dish up the fowl on
a hot dish remove the herbs and
empty the rice Into a fresh bag Add
to It a tablespoonful of stock a gill
of cream a little grated lemon peel
dust of nutmeg and pepper and salt
tc taste Mix thoroughly add the
well-beaten yolk of an egg make bot
again on the broiler and serve at once
Turkey and fillet of veal are both
and test the cakes before taking them
up by thrusting in a clean straw or
thin knife blade If the thing thrust
In comet out with no stickiness ding-
ing to it the cake is done - Bag cook-
ing prevents crusting over and there-
by facilitates rising It also saves
from burning and avoids the risk of
Jarring by too much opening of the
oven dear Baking powder can be
used in place of -soda and cream of
tartar but to my thinking the old way
is the best r
Raisin cake is made almost the same
as pound cake but takes a little longer'
and slower baking 1 !
Every household almost has Its own
favorite gingerbread and tearcake
Make them in your own way but re-
member to make them festive 1 You
can do this easily by cutting them
out in all manner of fancy shapes be-
sides those already suggested from
frosting them In many colors — white
pink green yellow and brown and
sprinkling them before the frosting
hardens with tiny colored candles or
chopped nuts or candled peel or
citron very finely shredded
Pound cake and raisin cake baked in
paper bags can be cut In cubes rounds
fingers or any shape desired frosted
all over and be more than ornamental
A centerpiece for a child's party can
be built In the shape of a log cabin
using alternately ' long strips frosted
white and other strips of chocolate
brown Or it may be white and pink
or all white with a roof of frosting
snow and candy-lclcles banging along
the eaves Vegetable coloring which
is cheap and perfectly wholesome can
be bought from any first class grocer
NOURISHING BEEF DISHE8
I wonder how many careful house-
mothers know stuffed roast beef? To
make It get two flank steaka of gener-
ous size sew them together with clean
strong cotton and stuff hag thus
formed in any way you like Tie up
the steaks Butter them well over the
outside ’ Slip into a well buttered
paper bag plenty large enough to hold
them add a tqblespoonful of water
cook In a hot qvfti three minutes then
turn off the heat more than half and
cook for forty minutes more- Very
heavy steaks may take longer and
light ones a shorter time Sliced
onions laid around the steak will flavor
the meat and the gravy This dish
can be left standing In the bag quite
a while after cooking Heating it up
makes It as good as ever
Take four pounds of round beef— the
best cut Rub over liberally with but
ter or clarified drippings but do not
salt and put into a bag which has
been thickly buttered along with half
a can of tomatoes or three large fresh
ones peeled and chopped one minced
onion one small red pepper three
cloves and six grains of alspice Score
the beef lightly on top so as to press
the spices Into it Cover It with the
tomatoe's onion etc and lay on them
a lump of butter or dripping rolled In
salted flour Add a tablespoonful of
vinegar and water mixed Seal bag
tight and cook very slowly for three
hours A gas Jet turned half down
gives about the right heat Take from
the bag pour out the gravy — In a
saucepan If you wetnt It thickened
with browned flour otherwise in the
boat The meat will be very tender
and delicious
Yorkshire pudding does not abso-
lutely demand cooking underneath a
roast To go with this round roast
you can make It thus Beat two eggs
separately very light then add to
them alternately a cup of sweet milk
and two cups of flour sifted with half
a teaspoonful salt and a teaspoonful
baking powder Mix smoothly pour
into a very well greased hag seal al-
lowing room for rising lay flat on a
wire mat and cook for twenty-five
minutes in a fairly hot oven
Meat roll is a good end for cold lean
roast beef ’ Mince or grind It fine sea-
600 with salt pepper tiny bits of but-
ter a little lemon Juice and a pinch of
powdered herbs Roll out puff paste
to less than a quarter Inch thickness
Make it In long strips Spread the
meat thinly upon them roll up pinch
the ends together tight put in a but-
tered bag with a little stock or water
or left over gravy also a small lump
of butter seal and cook till the pastry
is brown — the time depending some-
what on the size and number of the

MUCH ATTENTION NECESSARY
FOR SHEEP FLOCK IN SUMMER
Frequent Chabge of Pasture Lessens s Danger of Infection
by Parasites and Gives Animals Cbance to Select
Things Most Palatable to Them— Water
i and Salt Essential
&&& $
A Popular
(By E R STROETER Missouri)
Summer care of the flock is easy
if jou have plenty of grass water and
shade I always have good pastures
being either legumes or grasses Per-
sonally I prefer blue grasB slightly
mixed with white clover as legumes
re apt to get the ewes too fat be-
fore breeding time -
I never allow the flock to stay
longer than three weeks In one past-
ure without changing tq new quar-
ters 'By these frequent changes I
lessen the danger of Infection by par-
asites which 1b apt to come from too
dose grazing of pastures
A frequent change also gives the
flock a chance to select the things
most palatable to them
’ My sheep always have access to
shade And plenty of fresh water I
am of the opinion that standing water
is always more or less Infected with
dangerous parasites
My only means of protection against
the gadfly la to plow a few turrows
where the aheep stand in the shade
A close watch ihust be kept through-
out the summer to keep all tags
sheared off and the worms kept out
of the wool caused by wet tags I
also note the general health so that
parasites will not get the start of me
Salt is kept in the pasture all the
time I do not feed salt alone but
a mixture which I have used and
found very helpful in combating para-
sites especially stomach worms
The formula is: Salt dhe bushel
air-slaked lime one peck sulphur one
gallon pulverized resin two quarts
copperas one pound Thoroughly pub
verlze and mix Keep In a dry place
before sheep constantly
Another good way to combat stom-
ach worms is to Increase the woody
or fibrous content of the stomach
which can easily be done by turning
the flock Into a cornfield so that the
sheep will have the greater portion
of their ration consisting of corn
blades' I have found this treatment
very efficient
I castrate' my lambs when from sev-
en to ten days old provided the weath-
er is suitable Never allow them to
get larger than you can possibly help
The docking is done about the Bame
CORN CLUBS IN
NORTHERN STATES
Success of Movsmwt in Sooth
Encovroscs Government -Officials-
Increase
in Yield
Owing to the success of the boys'
corn clubs In the south the depart-
ment of agriculture has been asked to
carry this line of work farther and
it Is doing so In organizing boys’ po-
tato clubs In the north beginning with
New England This work has been
placed in charge of W J Spillman of
the office of farm management The
first season’s work will commence this
summer The boys will he given a
measured acre each and will be fur-
nished with instructions from the de-
partment as to growing and cultivat-
ing the crop
What the result will be la of course
till impossible to foresee but Judg-
ing from the success of the corn club
movement it Is likely to be of value'
This corn experiment was the con-
ception of the late Dr S A Knapp
In the three years of work while he
was alive the number of boys in the
corn clubs increased to 65300 -The
average com crop of the United
States is about 25 bushels to the acre
but some of the boys raised as much
as 226 bushels to the acre at a cost
of about 40 cents a bushel including
a charge for their own work Some
of the crops that ran more than 100
bushels an acre cost only 8 cents to
produce
Locust Is Due
The 17-year locust is said to be due

stitious persons believe that If he car-
ries a letter P on his back it means

In some other nation
Mutton Type
age by means of docking pinchers
heated red hot so this does away with
the bleeding I prefer a tall docked
rather short
At first 1 did not dock or castrate
either bat soon saw that the castrated
lambs did better very often' brought
iU
more on the market and then yo
can hold them over if you wish but
an uncastrated lamb must go to mar-
ket rather early:
For the first ten days after a ewe
gives birth to a lamb X Increase the
root and bran ration some but there-
after I gradually increase the feed
until I am feeding one-fourth pound
bran one-fourth pound oats one-third
pound corn and one-fourth pound roots
(turnips) 7
I get the lambs to eating grain as
soon as possible and have a creep
in which I have a ration of equal
parts of corn oata and bran The
roughness consists of clover hay and
they also have access to the winter
pasture
I also manage to have about five
acres of early rape on which 1 finish
the lambs in connection with the
above grain ration I do not let the
mothers run on the rape '
I generally shear about May 1 and
use the machine clipper - The wool is
tied in cubical blocks by means of a
wool press
The blocks are about eleven Inches
square and tied with wool twine three
times each way The thickness of
the blocks depends on the size of
fleece I am always complimented on
the neat appearance of my wool when
marketed ' My ewes average about
eight pounds of wool per head yearly
1 never keep the same bunch of
ewea longer than three years as I
get better results by changing I also
cull out ’oarren ewes or ewes that
raise poor lambs every fall
I fatten old ewes and wethers In
the fall up to about the ' middle of
December I usually fatten by turn-
ing Into fi corn field In which rape
and cow peas have been town at the
last cultivation of corn
I prefer this method but corn and
clover bay have given me good gains
and an evcellent quality of dressed
mutton
COLORING FOR
C0NCRETEW0RK
Venetian Red and Common Lamp
black Should Not Be Used
as They Are Liable
to Fade and Run
The' following materials for colored
concrete work have been recommend-
ed by an American authority accord-
ing to Cement Age The quantities
given are per barrel of cement mixed
dry with the cement 4nd sand The
sand must' be- thoroughly dry In
mixing the colors should be made
deeper than the required tint as dry-
ing results in bleaching Venetian
red and common lampblack should not
be used as they are liable to run and
fade The schedule for colors is as
follows:
For brown 25 lbs best roasted iron
oxide or 15 to 20 lbs brown ocher
For black 46 lbs manganese diox-
ide For blue 19 lbs ultramarine
For buff 15 lbs ocher - (This Is
likely to considerably reduce the
strength of the mixture)
For green 23 lbs greenish blue ul-
tramarine For gray 2 lbs boneblack
For red 22 lbs raw iron oxide
For bright red 22 lbs Pompeiian or
bright English red
For purple 20 lbs Prince’s metallic
For violet 20 lbs violet Iron oxide
For yellow 22 lbs ocher -
Hauling Manure as Made
Cart away the manure as fast as a
load collects around the barn It Is
better for the soil to cart It out at
once and there la less danger of in-
door odors around the barn during
the hot weather After a small grain
harvest there Is generally a good
place to apply the manure on the
stubble field

THE OLD PLEA
He “Didn’t Know It Was Loaded
The coffee drinker seldopu realize
that coffee contains the drug caffeine
a severe poison to the heart and
nerves’ causing ipany forms of die
la
ease noticeably dyspepsia
"I was a lover of coffee and used it
for many years and did not realize the
bad effects I was suffering from its
use (Taa Is Just as injurious as cof- '
fee because It too contains caffeine
the same drug found in coffee)
"At first I was troubled with indiges-
tion I’ did not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffee but thought it
arose from other causes With these
attacks I had sick headache nausea
and vomiting Finally my stomach
was in such a condition I could scarce-
ly retain any food
"I consulted a physician was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
tlon but was not Informed what -caused
the lndgestlon I kept on with
the coffee and kept on with the trou- -bles
too and my case continued to
grow worse from year to year until it
developed into chronic diarrhea nat
sea and severe attacks of vomiting I
could keep nothing on my stomach and
became a mere shadow reduced from
159 to 128 pounds '
“A specialist Informed me I had a
very severe case of catarrh of the
stomach which had got so bad he
could do nothing for me and I became
convinced my days were numbered
“Then I chanced to see an article set-
ting forth the good qualities of Postum
and explaining how coffee Injured peo-
ple so I concluded to give Postum a
trial I soon saw the good effects — my
headaches were less frequent nausea
and vomiting only came on at long In-
tervals and 1 was soon a changed man
feeling much better
“Then I thought I could stand coffee-
again but as soon as I tried It my old
trouble returned and I again turned
to Postum Would you believe it I
did this three times before I had sense-
enough to quit coffee for good ' and
keep op with the Postum I am now a
well man with no more headaches sick
stomach or vomiting and have al-
ready gained hack to 147 pounds
