SHEEP ON THE
FARM
Mutton Is Now More in Favor as
..Food Than Formerly. f .
Slaughtering of Animal Is Quit's Im
portant Factor Value of Fruit In
- the Home Is Underestimated - .
Needed on Farm. "
: ,- . . . -
Mutton never has been as highly
appreciated In America as It is today.
Probably one reason for this has been
the supply of cheap beef that this
country has enjoyed up to the past
few years. Now that the days of
cheap beet are over, It Is necessary
that some substitute for It be found.
Mutton is the logical solution qf the
problem, according to Bulletin 20 ot
the department of agriculture on the
management ot sheep on the farm. '
It ie true that the people have to be
educated more thoroughly as to Its
value, but mutton Is now more in
favor as a food than it used to be. A
particular class of American people
who have underrated mutton are. the
farmers, many of whom keep a flock
yet seldom, if ever, slaughter one for
their own use. A lamb or sheep could
frequently be killed for use by the
owner and it would, ,prove to be cheap
er than buying meat There would
also be the satisfaction ot knowing
that the meat was fresh and whole
some. . . 1 ,-,...
Probably one reason why mutton
has not been' more popular on the
farm Is that -not enough care has been
exercUed In slaughtering the sheep.
To get the best mutton a sheep ahoulcj
u umuguierea mai is in good nealth;
gaining rather than losing flesh. It
should be In fairly high condition also,
ae this insures more tender and Juicy
meat It the animal is too old the
mutton will be tough and unsavory.
No feed should be given for 24 to
80 hours before killing or the carcass

will be reddish looklnc and unattract
ive, and there will be more danger of
the woolly taste. However, plenty of
water should be xlven. The sheen
should not be allowed to become ex
cited or overheated, nor ahould it be
driven a' long distance Immediately
before slaughtering. If something of
this kind has taken place the eheep
should be allowed to recover from it
before being killed. "
Lamb and mutton should never ba
ssed for food until It Is thoroughly
cooled out. Lamb is as good as it
ever will be as soon as It Is thoroughly
cooled, but mutton Improves with rip

SNOW DANGERS IN ORCHARDS
Mies and Rabbits Depend for Rations
Upon Whit They Csn Gather
From One Dsy to the Next
With a heavy snow fall there comes
danger from (he rodent, enemies. Mice
and rsbblts depend for rations, upon
what they can gather .-from day to
day. The snow covers tyelr feed, and
they resort to trees, bushes and vises,
gnawing the bark for suetenanco. and
they sometimes cause serious losses.
As the mice work under the . snow,
tramping It down about the tree Is a
good moasure to adopt Borne feed
poisoned grain, but that can be best
done before the snow comes. Of the
many ways ot fighting rabbits one ot
the best is to make a pile of apple
brush, the bigger the better. Gather
as many trimmings as possible. . The
rabbits will come to It for both feed
and shelter. Then you msy set traps
near It and provide your table with
all the rabbit meat your family can
consume.
Svery farm should have a hotbed
or early vegetables.
sometimes spiced and are, considered
by many to be a delicacy v when pre
pared in this way.
After dressing, the carcass should
be cooled to 40 degrees, or-as near
that as possible. In the summer it
will be necessary to have ice tor this
purpose.. Where there is a farm re
frigerator the carcass can be placed
In it, provided there Is a circulation
of dry air and no objectionable odors
are present. ' Mutton can be kept for
a week or ten days under these condi
tions. :"'.'.;., i, . '. ."! -. .
Much of the sheepy flavor of mutton
comes from the generation of gases
in the stomach after the sheep Is
killed. For this reason sheep should
be dressed as rapidly as possible. A
platform six "or eight inches high, is
a convenient thine to work on. and
aids In keeping the blood away from
me ooay, insuring a cleaner .carcass.
Water or blood on the whole makes
it very difficult to dress the , animal
nicely. .'. ' ' '' . .
. The Value of Fruit In the Home.'
The common fruits, because of their
low nutritive value, are not as a rule,
estimated at their real worth as food,
states the department of agriculture.
Fruit has great dietetic value and.
should be used generously and wisely,
both fresh and cooked. Fruits supply
a variety of flavors, sugar, acids and a
necessary waste of bulky material tor
aiding in Intestinal movement They
are generally rich In potash and soda
salts and other minerals. Most fresh
fruits are cooling and refreshing. The
Vegetable acids have a solvent power
on the nutrients and are an aid to di
gestion when not taken in excess.
Fruit and fruit juices keep the blood
In a healthy condition when the sup
ply ot fresh meat, flan and vegetables
Is limited and Bait or smoked meats
constitute the chief elements of
diet Fresh fruit Is generally more ap
petising and refreshing than cooked.
For this reason It Is often eaten In
too large quantities, and frequently
when underripe or overripe; but when
of good quality and eaten In moderatt
quantities it promotes' healthy Intesti
nal action and rarely hurts anyone.
If eaten Immoderately, uncooked
fruit is apt to Induce Intestinal dis
turbances. . If eaten unripe, it often
causes stomach and intestinal irrita
tion; overripe, it has a tendency to
ferment in the alimentary canal.
Cooking changes the character and
flavor ot fruit and while the product
Is not eo cooling and refreshing as in
the raw state", it can, as a rule, be
eaten with less danger of causing
stomach of intestinal trouble. It su
gar be added to the cooked fruit, the
nutritive value will be increased. A
large quantity of sugar spoils the fla
vor of the fruit and ts likely to make
it less easily digested.
Nowhere is there greater need ot a
generous supply of fruit than on the
farm, where the diet Is apt to be
restricted In variety because of the
distance from markets. Every farmer
should raise a generous supply of the
kinds ot fruit that can be grown In
hie locality. Wives Vnd daughters on
the farms should find pleasure In serv
ing these fruits in the most healthful
and tempting form.'There are a large
number of simple, dainty desserts that
can be prepared with fruit and with
out much labor. Such desserts should
leave the pie as an occasional luxury
instead of allowing It to be consid
ered a dolly necessity.
In the season when each kind of
fruit Is plentiful and at Its best a
'generous supply should be canned for
the season when both fruit and fresh
vegetables are scarce. A great deal
ot the fruit should be canned with
little or no sugar, that It may be as
nearly as possible In the condition ot
fresh fruit. This Is the best condition
for cooking purposes. A supply . of
glass jars does cost something, but
charged to future years, as with prop
er care the breaking of a Jar need be
a rare occurrence. .If there be an
abundance of grapes and small, Juicy
fruits, plenty of Juice should be
canned or bottled for refreshing
drinks throughout the year.
COLD STORAGE OF POTATOES
Temperature Should Be Kept as Near
35 Degrees Fahrenheit as Possible'
, How to Avoid Moisture.
(Br A. R, KOHL,ER.
The best temperature for potatoes
la as near so degrees Fahrenheit as
possible. A good tested tharmnmntsr
or several in different locations and
at different heights ahould be kept In
the cellar and watched at frequent
Intervals. "
In putting potatoes Into a storage
cellar they should be run over a
screen that will take out the dirt
Large potato cellars should be filled
In layers so as to give the potatoes
the best possible opportunity to cool
off and dry. Dumping a whole day's
digging In one place Is not the best
practice. .
The best method for keeping mois
ture from collecting on the Inside ot
the roof of potato cellars Is to cover
them with straw or strawy manure.
Giving plonty of ventilation also helps.
FIXINGS FOR THE CROQUETTE
Egg and Crumb Combination the Best
.. Method of Making and Applying
, iv Mixture.
Break an egg In a plate, beat slight
ly with a fork and add one tablespoon
ful of water. ' Place a fork and table
spoon In this mixture. .
Fill another plate with crumbs. -
Roll the croquette In the crumbs,
place upon the fork- and dip the egg
over it with the spoon, covering ev
ery part'
Drain and slide from the fork back
into the crumbs and give the final
shaping, covering with the crumbs
before handling it ;
- Be careful not to get the fork and
spoon., into the crumbs.
A wire egg-whip used In place of
the fork Is convenient for larse. soft
croquettes. . .K ;;, ,

To make new potatoes scrape easllj

toes a little while In water in which
small piece of common soda has bees

, Baked Apple Patties. ,
Take from the bread dough,, whet,
ready to mold into loaves, as much ai
would make one small "brick" loaf.
Into it work one egg, beaten with two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, using a spoon
ful or so ot flour If too sticky to han
dle, but only as much as Is absolutelj
necessary. Roll out on the ' floured
board until-half an inch thick, then
cut in circles with a large cup or cut
ter. Have ready some thick apple
sauce which has been stewed with
raisins a halt, cupful to the pint
until the latter are very tender. Wet
the edges of a circle. In the center, put
one or. more spoonfuls of the sauce,
cover with a second circle and pinch
the edges firmly together. Place an
Inch or more apart on greased pans,
let stand until the dough begins to
rise, then brush the top of each with
a little beaten egg yolk and bake in s
julck oven.
Worth Knowing. .'
To remove the fat from broth or
soup, says the New York Sun, It Is not
necessary to allow It to become cold
as Is usually done. Instead place a
line wire sieve on Ice, until It Is thor
oughly cooled and pour the liquid
through this. If the liquid Is partially
cooled, the fat will solidify on the cold
wire and the broth will be' ready for
Immediate use. .
Buttering bread or cracker on which
cheese Is to be toasted Improves the
flavor.
By first scalding the milk and set
ting It aside to cool, a baked or boiled
custard will be perfectly smooth.
TUe yolk of an egg, if placed In a
cup and covered with a little cold wa
ter will keep for a couple of days. The
water can easily he poured off when
the yolk Is used.
' To Clean Bottles. '
Never use tacks or buckshot to rlnan
the Inside of bottles, lues and bltchnr
but the ground shell of an egg, salt
and lemon or a little white vinegar. A
piece of raw potato soaked In a carafe
or any of the deeper pieces will help
to make brightening a light task and
cleaning still easier. . . : .
- Sugar Economy.
In cooking fruit It lakes nearly
twice as much sugar to sweeten It It
added before cooking. Cook 'first
then sweeten to taste.-
Dried Apple Pie.
Stew dried apples soft In as little
water as possible; sweeten to taste
and add a few strips of orange peel
sr a slice of lemon; flavor with a very
little spice. Put all through a coarse
