EVERY DAY FOOD. The following ate some of the com Tnon dishes which we like to know how to prepare well. When a piece of round steak seems to be hopeless, use the edge of a saucer and pound It until well cut, sprinkle with flour, season with salt and pepper and a bit of onion, and saute In a little butter until well browned, then cover with boiling water and just simmer on the back of the stove or, better, cook an hour or two Ip a tireless cooker. Doughnuts. Doling the winter there Is nothing that tastes quite so good (or breakfast as a good dough out. The following Is a well tested recipe; Heat together two eggs and a cup and three fourths of sugar: beat until the sugar is dissolved, then add a half teaspoonful of salt, a cup and a fourth of sour milk mid a fourth of a cup of sour cream, a teaspoonful of soda and nutmeg tor flavoring. Use as little flour aa possible for rolling and cutting, and chill the dough be fore rolling out Graham Gems.—To a cup of sifted graham flour add a cup of sour milk, an egg, a half teaspoon of salt, a tea spoonful of soda, two tablespoonfuls of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of shortening Hake In gem pans.

A aultable size for outdoor farm cel lars Is 10 by 14 feet Inside, with self supporting arched roof live fq,et above floor at sides and seven feet eight Inches in center, says the National Builder. Tl*e side tyaJjß Are eight Inches thick. Dig the hole eleven feet four Inches by fltteen feet four, to the depth desired, usually five feel. At ope end cut the earth to a width of four feet four laches and slope upward for seven concrete steps with rise of eight inches and tread of ten Inches, and for a thickness of four Inches of concrete back of the steps proper. Ar range for 18 inch landing at bottom of stairs. Make side wall forms of Inch siding on two by four uprights, spaced two feet. As concrete floor will be four inches thick, sot up the forms on four inch concrete bricks. To curve the end wall forms lay them out with a six-foot string In the same way as de scribed later for arch rings. At en trance, to provide a doorway, set be tween the forms a frame of two by eight-inch stuff, three by seven feet In the clear. Mix the concrete one part cement to four parts bank run gravel. Lay the four-inch floor the same as a side walk, but without joints. Six Inches from the top of side walls and one Ss Outdoor Storage Cellar. Inch from outside put two three-eights- Inch steel rods the lull length of cel lar, and in the concrete above door frame lay three four-foot lengths ot three eights-inch rot’s. Roughen the top of wails to make a good bond with root. When side walls are a week old be gin the roof. On a floor or bit of smooth ground murk a half circle with radius of five feet eleven Inches. Aurora this lay a board ten feet long, so that its ends will Just touch the mark. The part ol circle above the board is the correct shape and size for the arched roof. Cut boards to mutch this arch ring and space the rings two feet, fastening securely to side wall forms. Cover tightly and reinforce with three-elghU-itich rodds 12 Inches the lung way and six Inches crossing the cellar, wiring the rods together where they cross. Cover with five Inches of concrete. Give the roof a smooth finish, lu about three weeks the forms may be removed. Any form of ventilation desired may be pro vided. The cut shows a cross section of such a cellar. FATTEN SHEEP FOR MARKET Where Work Has Been Postponed Until Too Late for Pasturing Special Food Is Needed. All old and such young ewes as the owner does not desire to keep should be culled out to fatten a short time before the ram Is turned In with the breeding ewes. The cull sheep can be fattened earlier In the season by turning them Into a rape field as pasture, but if you put off too late special food Is required. In pure bred flocks the ewes are often kept until they die of old age, as their lambs are worth more than they are. but lu a graded flock It does not pay to keep ewes that do not have sound mouths. An old ewe is likely to prove unsatisfactory. In selecting rams the aim should be to select those that are strong In the points In which the ewes are weak Kor Instance, ewes that have an open coat and are narrow breasted should be bred to rams that are strong on those points Hy this method a very uniform flock can be established In a very few years. It Is a good idea to turn the ram with the ewes In the evening after be has been ted and lake him out in the morning before being fed A ram ahould be well fed. Bran, oats, roots of vegetables, make a good ration with clover as rough age. Wheat, Rye and Barley. Wheat and rye have about the same composition, although wheat Is some what richer Ip protein. Rye is in gen eral tougher and harder to grind. Both are quite digestible, but less so than corn, on account of the larger percentage of hull. When they can be had at at>out the price of corn they may profitably form a part of some rations. They are fed more satisfac torily whan ground than when whole. Harley seems to rank between wheat and oats. It Is not used very ex tensively as a stock food In the east, except when the quality Is too poor to permit Us use for malting pur poses. Garden Farm Notes Keep a record —our memories are short. Now la a good time to examine the seed corn. Almost all our common garden veg etables require a somewhat alkaline soil. Let the manure freeze after being hauled to the field; not around the barn. When the silo Is thoroughly dry It Is well to treat the Inside of it with coal tpr. The finer the soil, the better the vegetables, both In quantity and quality. Most farms should carry more live stock, In order to help maintain the fertility of the soil. To kill Canada thlaU.es In a fli ld, put the field In some cultivated crop and keep the weeds down. Riding on a manure spreader has assisted many a man to where be o>gl<] rMg.Js Ah automobile. mpT(StIEN : ggSgABINET I Outweigh all the joy that we crave; But tomorrow will teach ua the leaeon That Ufa la worth while to be brave.

The grinder is Intended mainly for chopping cabbage when making sauer kraut. but it is also of much service In grinding vegetables and roots to be cooked for poultry, says the Popu lar Mechanics. The base, A, is made of a plank, at least one foot wide and four feet long, with a nine and one-fourth by pine and one-half Inch hole cut in the center. The grinding part, or cylin der is made of wood three Inches In diameter and nine inches long, with eight-penny nails, spaced three-six teenths Inches apart, driven partly into it and then cut off so as to leave one-fourth inch projecting. The cylinder is turned by means of a crank attached to the end of the shaft. A hopper. B, is constructed four by nine and one-half inches inside measurement at the bottom and as large as necessary at the top. A space is provided at the bottom as shown to receive the concave C, which consists of a one-inch board, three to four Inches wide and nine incites long, with nails driven in and cut off us de scribed in the cylinder. The hopper Is securely fastened on the top of the baseboard and over the cylinder. The concave is slipped into place and held with wedges or by driv ing two nails in Just far enough to tasten it temporarily. The concave A— Root Grinder. can be adjusted for grinding the dif ferent vegetable products, or replaced at any time with a new one. the ends of the base are supported on boxes, or legs may be provided if desired. When grinding cabbage, cut the heads into quarters and remove the hearts. Tress the cabbage on the cylinder and turn the crank. Fine bits of cabbage, suitable for sauer kraut will be the result. SUCCESS IN RAISING TURKEYS First Consideration Is Desirable Loca tion and Suitable Range —Few Other Essentials. What do I consider the most Impor tant essentials to be a successful tur key raiser? First important consider ation desirable location and good range, next, sound, healthy fowls of standard breed to begin with, for no one can succeed without sound, heal thy birds to start with Third, careful feeding. Fourth, keep free from lice. 1-ast, but not least, dry roomy coop so they can be kept out of sudd, n showers. These equipments, coupled with sound Judgment and proper care of poults, should make anyone success ful in raising turkeys, says a writer in an exchange. The way I manage mine after years of experience, I gather the eggs dally, keep in a place neither too cool nor too hot; turn eggs ever day When the hen gets ready to set make a coop In some dry place, placing 15 or 16 eggs In nest; bring ben up late in evening, place on nest, keep fastened up two or three days, turn out so she can get something to eat and drink. Watch to see tf she goes on same nest. When eggs hutch leave poults in nest 36 hours Move hen and poults to large roomy coop inclosed in pen to keep anything from running over them. Dust hen and little ones with some good insect powder to kill lice. Feed them egg bread first few days, (live them plenty of fresh water. When they are a few days old give them lettuce and onion tops chopped f'ne with bread crumbs. Also give them a little chicken feed consisting of grain, small seeds, grit and oyster shells. Keep fastened in coop until strong enough to keep up with hqn; turn out in the morning, but see that they come home at night to roost. Sprinkle a little black pepper occa sionally in their food but be sure not to overfeed, ns it brings trouble and disaster In its train. Rules for Poultrymen. It is urged that all farmers and poultrymen adhere strictly to the following rules In handling their poultry and eggs: 1. Keep the nests clean; provide one nest for every four hens. 2. Gather the eggs twice dally. 3. Keep the eggs In a cool, dry room or cellar. 4. Market the egag at least twice a week. 5. Sell, kill or confine all male birds as soon as the hatching season is over. Cleanliness Is Profitable. Cleanliness in the poultry pens puts many dollars into the pockets of the poultryman. Few ol us realise how important bees are to our farm, garden and or chard crons If the bees were termi nated this year there would be a fall ere of the clover seed crop; the some would be true of many vegetables and fruits Many flowers must be cross fertilized, and It often requires some Insect to do this.

Exercise produces warmth. There is no better place to fit a colt for market than on the farm. Leaves mixed with straw make an excellent cover for strawberries. Promptly gather up and burn all brush and rubbish in the orchard The coming of the silo is developing some new high records for high-priced beef. Increase the cow feed a little morn ing and night us the weather grows colder. It is as an egg producer that the In dian Runner duck has gained the most fame. Poultry balance their own rations If they are given u wide variety of feeds to select from Eggs that cost 25 cents per dozen will bring $7 to $8 when hatched and sold us broilers. All young stock on hand now that you do not Intend to keep through the coming winter should be marketed. Bran is a very good feed for cows. 11 is light, palatable and rich In min eral matter, especially phosphorus A set of scales will guess a good deal better than you can as to the weight of the milk each cow gives. It is usually mere guesswork to tell the age of a hen by her appearance after she has passed the pullet stage. A hen over two years old 1s fit only for the pot and to mother chick ens. She Is past her profitable laying days. It Is well to remember that there are fen buyers for horses worth S2OO and upwards to one that is worth $ 100 or less. Goose eggs require from twenty eight to thirty-one days to hatch, ac cording to variety and method of hatching. It Is a well known fact that the cow that makes the largest profit is given the best care and moat comfort able shelter. When the farmer makes a selling of his crops with as much a business ts does the buyer he will find fann ing profitable. Of almost, if not quite, as much 1m portance as their food is plenty of exercise. Exercise and sunshine are great sheep tonics. If you live where stones are plenty land they are found In most sections) never wade through winter mud in going between house and burn It pleases the cow to be milked quickly, and gets her In the habit of giving down promptly It Is often the slow milkers that make the strippers If you plan to take the horns off your cows, better do It early In the spring. It is a trying ordeal at best Be as humane about It us you can.
