GOOD OLD LEMON PIE
OTHER DI8HES WITH .HEALTH
FUL FRUIT A8 INGREDIENT.
WtUcee Beet Kind of Sauce for All
Manner of . Puddings 8ouffle a
Light, Refreshing Deaeert
' , Lemon to Cure Cold.
The old-fashioned lemon pie Is one
of the prime favorites. An often
proved recipe calls for one-half pound
of sugar, a pound of butter, six eggs,
the Juice of, two lemons with their
grated rind, a nutmeg and half a glass
of brandy.
Cream the butter and sugar, beat in
the yolks, the lemon, the spice and
brandy, then add the whites. Bake in
a light piecrust with open top. Pow
dered sugar and lemon juice should be
spread on the top of each pie.
There are a great many varieties of
lemon pie, 'with cocoanut and mer
ingue mixtures. An English tart calls
for a cup of sugar, two lemons (the
Juice and some of the peel grated), a
teaspoonitul of cornstarch "smoothly
blended in water, a dozen raisins par
boiled, cut in two and seeded. ' Beat
these Ingredients well together and
bake between two crusts In small pies.
A lemon sauce which Is very line for
rice, bread or boiled puddings, espe
cially for the old-fashioned cottage pud
ding, Is made from a cup of sugar;
half a cup of butter, Rn egg, the Juice
of a lemon and half the grated peel, a
teaspoon fill of grated nutmeg and
three tnblespoonfuls of boiling water.
Cream the butter and sugar, beat In
the egg, very well whipped, then the
lemon and nutmeg: bpat well for ten
minutes, then add by degrees the boil
ing water. Put In the Inner pan of a
double boiler, with bolllns? water In
the outer pan, and stir well until the
sauce becomes very hot.
Lemon souffle is a light, refreshing
dessert Put in a bowl four yolks of
eggs and four ounces of powdered
sugar, add the grated rind of two lem
ons and stir well for 20 minutes until
quite thick. Then add by degrees a
tablespoonful of lemon Juice, and fin
ally beat In, lightly and quickly, the
whites of six eggs beaten to a stiff
froth. Pour Into a pie dlRh and bake
In a moderate oven for about 25 min
utes to a golden brown. Serve on a
lace paper dolly within a sljver dish.
A lemon Ice, strongly flavored with
the fruit and very easy to make, is
composed of the Juice of six lemons
with the grated peel of three, one
large sweet orange (the Juice and the
grated ilnd), a pint of water and a
large cup of sugar. The acidity of the
Ice can be regulated by the amount
of sugar used. A large cup Is the
medium allowance.
Squeeze all the Juice and place In it
the grated rind of the fruits, leaving
them an hour standing. Then strain
well and mix in the sugar and the wa
ter, stirring until dissolved. Then turn
Into the freezer and stir soveral times
while It hardens to keep It entirely
smooth.
A modification of the lemon cure,
which of course is not permitted In
the lemon club, is the consumption
during the day of one or two lemons
in this way: Cut off the top and make
an Incision downward in the core
without losing any of the Juice. Edge
In by degrees a lump of white sugar,
through which the Juice can be taken.
School children have a,way of Im
bedding an old-fashioned lemon carfdy
stick in the fruit and sucking the Juice.
Both of these processes are good for
colds, although the sugar retards flesh
reduction.
Uses for Citron.
Citron when properly used and pre
pared is so delicious that it Ehould
be Introduced for a change more frequently.
Substitute citron in any recipe call
ing for dried fruit; for a plain cake
transformation, white, regular or gin
gerbread, add one cupful of minced
citron, slightly floured, Put a small
cupful in the doughnut batter, meas
ured after dicing. In your lemon or
vanilla icing put a little minced cit
ron, dusted with pulverized sugar,
sprinkle a little of it shaved on top
cake before icing Is applied.
When the vanilla ice cream is near
ly frozen, remove the lid and for two
quarts drop in one of the large pieces
of citron, previously put through the
meat grinder; again cover, and finish
as usual.
Citron Is delicious In apple sauce
and "Brown Betty."
Fricassee of Lamb With Gravy.
Get lamb from the forequartor, cut
In pieces for serving. Wipe meat put
In kettle, cover with boiling water and
cook slowly until meat is tender. Re
move from water, cool, sprinkle with
salt and pepper, dredge with flour and
saute In butter (here you need to use
butter). Arrange on platter and pour
around one and one-half cupfuls brown
sauoe mado from liquor In which meat
was eooked after removing all fat It
is better to cook meat day before serv
ing, as then fat may be more easily
removed. ,
To Prevent Irons Rusting.
Irons treated in the following man
ner can be kept In excellent condition:
Tie a lump of beeswax In a thin white
rag. When the irons are hot, rub
them with the rag and then scour
with a cloth sprinkled with salt After
the ironing is finished and the Irons
are still warm, rub the wax over them,
and It will keep them smooth and free
from rust If a brick which has been
heated In the oven 1b used for an
Ironing Btand, the Irons will be found
to keep bot much longer than it an or
dinary Iron stand Is used.
Frogs' Lege, Brown Fricassee. '
Remove the skin from the frogs'
leg and scald them with hot water,
acidulated with a little vinegar. Dry,
roll in flour and saute a light brown.
Make a thin, brown sauce, add a slice
of lemon, a shallot, a small bay tear,
a sprig of parsley, and a few mush
rooms. Simmer about fifteen minutes,
add a tablespoonful of sweet butter or
a tttUa cream and serve.
ROAST PORK WITH STUFFING
Too Substantial a Dish for Hot
Weather, But There Still Is Time
to Enjoy It,
Before the weather gets too hot we
may like to have one more good roast
of fresh pork. A fresh shoulder or
fresh ham will stuff to best advan
tage. Select one not too large, make
a large Incision Just below the
knuckle between the skin and the
meat for the purpose of introducing
the stuffing, which must later be se
cured by sewing up with small twine.
Then with a sharp-pointed knife score
the leg aU over and in the following
manner: . With the left hand hold
the pork firmly and with the knife
score the skin across in parallel lines
a quarter of an inch apart. Roast for
about two hours and a half or three
hours, according to size, and when
done dish up with brown gravy and
send to the table with apple sauce.
The stuffing for the pork may be
thus prepared: Chop a dozen sage
leaves and six large onions and boll
these in water for three or four min
utes and put on a Bleve to drain;
then put In a stewpan with pepper
and salt and a little butter and let
it simmer for twenty minutes, when
It Is ready to place in the leg of pork.
While this onion stuffing is possibly
more favored than a dressing in
which cracker or bread is used, it
seems better to have the bone entire
ly removed and thus give room for a
good quantity of the real old fash
ioned bread stuffing, . ;
A loin of pork may be stuffed with
the same preparation by making an
incision in the upper part of the loin
and after the stuffing Is put in sew
ing up as you would the leg.
HAVE REGULAR MENDING DAY
By Employment of System, Drudgery
of Necessary Repairing May Large
ly Be Done Away With.
"There Is nothing in the world like
system, and nowhere does one realize
this more than in the matter of dress."
Thus writes one woman, who thinks
that the woman who puts off mending
the tiny hole she might have attended
to in ten minutes is laying up much
trouble for herself when the little hole
becomes undarnable. The rip under
the arm in the blouse that hardly
shows when It is put on extends
alarmingly, and there Is usually a day
of reckoning for all put-off things of
the same kind.
The remedy for this is a regular
mending day or a mending evening, if
a woman is engaged in business. Se
lect the best day for this purpose and
stick to it; you will be surprised to
find that your clothing will not only
took better but also last longer. As
Boon as a garment needs mending put
it aside for the mending day that is
coming. t
Cornstarch 8now Pudding.
Those who have, always made a
snow pudding with gelatin and lemen
Juice thickened with the white of eggs
will be surprised to find how eaBlly a
substitute is made by adding whites
of eggs to a plain cornstarch pudding.
Mix one-half cup of cornstarch, one
quarter cup of sugar, a soltspoonful
of salt with one-half cup of cold milk.
Turn this into a quart of hot milk and
cook 15 minutes. Add a teaspoonful
of vanilla and the whites of three
eggs beaten stiff. When stirred light
ly pour into small molds and serve
with custard sauce. If the family is
small make half of the rule and use
the whites of two small eggs, which
will make it even lighter and more
fluffy.
LAYING OUT A GARDEN
ERRONEOUS IDEA THAT MUCI-
TIME IS REQUIRED.
Marrow Balls.
Mix together: One tablespoonful
of marrow taken from the soup bone
before you put It on to boil, the white
of one egg beaten stiff and seasoned
with one salt spoonful of Bait one
slice of green pepper chopped fine.
And enough fine bread crumbs to
make into a dough stiff enough to roll
into balls. .
Make them half an hour before you
are ready to cook them, as they retain
their shape better if allowed to Btand.
Drop them Into any hot stock and let
boil six minutes, being careful not
to crush them In taking out. Serva
at once.
Filled Cookies.
One and one-half cupfuls granulatec
sugar and one cupful lard, creamed to
gether, two eggs, one cupful sweet
milk, four teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der, sifted with two quarts of flour,
pinch of Bait,
Filling: One pound of English wal
nuts (chopped), one pound of raisins
(cooked and thickened as for plea).
Mix together.
Roll cookies very thin, place In pan,
and in center of each put one table
spoonful of Ailing, Cover with another
thin cooky and bake. The heat of
the oven will seal them together.
. Surprise Cake.
Sift two even cupfuU of sifted flout
with two even teaspoonfuls of cream
tartar and one of soda' into mixing
dish. Plaoe the white of one egg in
a large bowl, beat to a stiff froth, add
one-half cupful melted (not hot) but
ter, one Cupful of milk. Beat smooth,
then flavor with your favorite extract,
add contents of bowl to those In dish
and beat vigorously. A hot oven ii
needed (350 degrees if you have as
oven thermometer).
Nesaelrode Pudding.
One cupful whipped cream, one-hall
cupful pulverized sugar, one table
spoonful gelatin, one cupful chopped
candled cherries, pineapple, and Eng
lish walnuts. Dissolve the gelatin in
one-third cupful hot water and mil
all lightly together. Flavor with va
nilla and pour Into mold and stand
on Ice for several hours. Serve with
whipped cream.
Some Uteful Hints.
Perfumed olive oil sprinkled on 11
brary shelves will prevent mold oa
books; mud stains can be removed
from black cloth by rubbing with a
raw potato; the Juice of a raw onion
applied to the sting of an Insect wil
remoro the poison.
Plot ISO by 100 Feet Will Produce
Enough Fruit and Vegetables for
Family of 8lx Run the Rows
' North and South,
.0 l (By E. PARKER.) '
' There is an important economical
side to this question of a garden.
Beef, for Instance, in its various forms
is notoriously expensive, especially
where it Is eaten twice or three times
a day, whereas beans, peas, spinach,
etc., when served with meat would
make up half the amount eaten, thus
reducing the cash cost of the whole.
And the Impression that a vegetable
garden requires much time and care
is such an erroneous one! Two or
three hours a week will suffice for a
garden 150 by 100 feet, which Is cap
able of producing fruit and vegetables
enough for a family of six, provided
the rows are three feet apart so that
a horse, may be used.
In laying out such a garden the
rows should be run north and south,
for planted thus vegetables receive
the greatest amount of sun. The first
four rows should be six feet apart, and
the first of these might contain twelve
currant and twelve gooseberry bushes
set six feet apart. In the seoond row
plant a hundred raspberry canes three
teet apart, with two canes at each
place. The third row will be for
strawberries and will hold 150 plants
grown in hills set one foot apart, no
runners being allowed to grow. The
next thirteen rows will be three feet
apart and may be planted to the fo)
lowing vegetables in the order given:
Asparagus plants, 60 one-year seed'
lings, set three teet apart In the row;
parsnips, 50 feet; then a hundred feet
of onions, of which 25 feet may be
young sets for early summer; beets
and lettuce, 60 feet; early cabbage, a
hundred feet; late cabbage, a hundred
feet; cauliflower, 60 feet; peas, three
full rows, corn, four full rows; toma.
toes, a hundred feet; beans, 60 feet;
okra, ten feet; then 50 feet more ot
string beans and 150 feet of dwarf
lima beans. The remaining four rows
should be eight feet apart to allow the
vines to spread. In the first row
plant 25 muskmelons six feet apart.
then a row of cucumbers set six feet
apart, five eggplants and ten early
Bquash, all six feet apart. The next
row may be planted to eight Hubbard
squash and twelve rhubarb plants, Bet
six feet apart, and the last two rows
may very properly be given over to
herbs and Sowers for cutting.
It is frequently forgotten that a
great many people abroad, notably the
drawers of water and hewers of wood,
live almost entirely on vegetables, con
sidering meat a luxury only to be in
dulged in once a week, while we in
America, having the most delicious
and greatest variety of vegetables
grown anywhere, discard them tor
meat '
RAISING BEST DAIRY BREEDS
No More Profitable Line of Stock
Growing Than Raising Good Cows
' for the Dairymen.
Any farmer Is safe in breeding and
raising for sale large milking or but
ter-producing cows. As an Industry
there Is no more profitable line of
stock growing than raising good cows
and selling them to the dairymen who
are making a specialty of producing
market milk or selling their milk to
A Good Milk Producer.
condensing plants where they do not
have the by-product returned to their
farms to feed out to the calves that
are being raised to replace the cows
that are annually discarded from
their herds. ,
The keeping of more cows for
creameries and cheese factories is
also encouraging and many men are
willing to pay a good price for well
bred dairy cows.
DODDER IS THE WORST WEED
Annual Parasitlo Plant Develops Into
Threadlike Stem, Sending Sucker '
Into Alfalfa.
(By W. L. OSWALD, Minnesota Experi
ment Station.) -
In the western states, and in some
European countries, dodder is the
worst weed found in alfalfa fields. It
Is an annual parasitic plant which
8 tarts from the seed In the ground and
develops Into a long, threadlike stem,
winding itself around the alfalfa plant
and Bending parasitic roots or suckers
Into the plant It then lives on the
nourishment which should be used In
developing the alfalfa plant.
Dodder has not yet secured a
strong foothold In the alfalfa fields of
this state, probably because alfalfa
has not been raised tor seed to any
considerable extent As long as al
falfa Is grown only for hay, dodder
should not become a very serious
weed pest. However, as alfalfa will
probably be grown more and more tor
seed each year, extreme care Bhould
be taken to secure seed which Is free
from dodder and to avoid the Introduc
tion of dodder Into the Btates.
There are two dodder varieties com
mon In alfalfa fields. The small-seeded
alfalfa dodder is not as bad as the
large-seeded variety, aa the seed la
easily separated from that of alfalfa.
The seed of the large-seeded alfalfa
dodder la about the same size as al
falfa seed and It 1 almost Impossible
to separata them.
NOTES OF THE POULTRY YARD
Whitewash Improves Look of House
and I Good Disinfectant Give
Turkeys Free Range.
(By MRS. A. J. WILDER.)
Lime is a very good thing to use
about the poultry houses. An occa
sional coat of white-wash on walls
and on the nest boxes greatly im
proves the lookB of the bouse, besides
being a good disinfectant and vermin
killer. :
' Pullets hatched in April or the first
of May, make late tall and winter
layers, and they are the ones that pay.
Hatch all you can of them.
If a Bitting hen leaves the nest do
not throw away the eggs unless they
are cold. If you have another broody
hen, put her on the nest. She will
finish the hatching, and it will save
her Just So much time, as well as Sav
ing the eggs.
Give the little chicks skim milk to
drink. It is very good for them, as
well as for the older fowls. The more
milk your poultry drink, the less meat
it will be necessary to feed them.
Do not keep too many hens in one
flock. Much better results are ob
tained from the smaller flocks, and It
is the results, that count
If you want the pulleta to mature

. Don't make the mistake of thinking
you can half feed your hens and make
a success ot the poultry business.' The
wants of the hen's body comes first.
If there is any surpluB it goes into
the eggs. Where there 1b no surplus
there are no eggs. It Is your business
to provide enough food for the body
and the eggs.
If you are keeping hens for egg-production
only there is no need for keep
ing any males. It costs about $1 to
feed each one, and their room might
better be given to that many more

PRODUCTION OF GOOD EGGS
Wisconsin Expert Emphasize Im
portance of Clean, Whole Food
Keep Nest Clean.
Just because an egg is freshly laid
by an apparently healthy hen It can
not be assumed that it Is a good egg,
according to James G. Halpln of the
College of Agriculture of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, who emphasizes the
heed of clean, wholesome food for the
production of first-class eggs. Hens
that are forced to obtain the greater
portion of their living as scavengers
and given a poor range to work on
cannot produce eggs of as good quality
as can a flock which regularly is fed
a good ration.
Eggs lacking in protein have a wa
tery white and the shell is apt to be
thin owing to the partial absence ot
lime. Such eggs, besides being ot less
value as food, are more than likely to
bring forth puny chickens of low vi
tality, subject to white diarrhea and
an early death. With proper quanti
ties of wheat bran, clover, oyster
shell and sound grains in the ration
fed to laying hens, eggs with firm
shells, rich in protein and delicately
flavored are sure to result providing
ot course, that the flock is given clean
nests and runs and is kept tree from
mites. ;
