Fillets of Game or Chicken.-Cut the meat from the bones in wide strips and cook 'Jt *u well-buttered skillet un til i brown,' then add ~. tablespoonful of buttery two tablespoonfuls af currant jelly and the strained gravy left from the first cooking of the fowl, or venison. Have molded a ring of rice, place in the oven after spreading with butter and brown. Serve on a round dish and put the fillets in the center with the sauce poured over. A teaspoonful of curry and a teaspoonful of chutney added to the sauce will add variety to this dish. Eggs With Cheese.-Beat six eggs slightly with a fork.

Many a one has been comforted in their sorrow by seeing a good dish come upon the table.-Mrs. Gaskell. DESIRABLE DUMPLINGS. Dumplings are a great emergency dish when the ohicken or stew seems too small for the family. A nice fluf fy lot of dumplings to surround the platter of meat makes a most sat isfying sight Dumplings.-Add one beaten egg to a cupful of milk, a "little salt and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, sifted with flour enough to make a mixture stiff enough to drop from the spoon. Flours differ so in thickening power that no exact measurement can be given. Drop them on the boiling stew with a teaspoon and they will cook In eight minutes. Leave them covered during the entire time so they will be puffy and light Breed Dumplings.-Just before put-. ting the bread into the pans, take ont about half a loaf, add butter and make j ?mall biscuits.

Improve the flock; it always pays. Many of the farms have good stock, but the trouble is they have too many kinds of it. It is a poor policy to buy up purebred stock and turn it loose among a half dozen other kinds, some so crossed they will stand for nearly any kind of treatment; yet this is a rule on many farms. If you give all extra care, the purebred will respond, to the good treatment and do good, work as long as they live, but the pure- : bred seldom do good work under neg- j lect; they are not used to it. Tho j good treatment the purebred get to Barred Plymouth Rock Female, Bred at United States Government Poul? try Farm. bring them up to the right standard becomes a necessity, and they suffer and lose out under rough conditions. If your stoek is run down, improve lt Get rid of all poor stuff. Don't be afraid to cull and cull closely, says j Twentieth Century Farmer. Weed out weakly, undersized hens. Say that you have a mixed flock, with a fair { sprinkling of barred hens or any color that is In close resemblance to some of the purebreds, and yet you know they are not purebred, there is nothing to hinder you from making those barred hens, or the buff, or white whatever you may have a majority of -the basis for an improved flock that will come up to the purebred in size and looks, with possibly greater laying power and strength because of the late crosses in their blood. It is true that if you will Improve you must breed from one color. You must set aside ten or more of your best marked hens of the color de cided on, which may be barred. If you have a cockerel or two as well marked as these hens and large as the barred breed requires, keep these to mate with the selected hens. If there are no cockerels of this variety to breed from, lt will be best to put in a couple of the purebred Barred Rocks. There must be some arrangement made for keeping these male hirds and the selected hens in a pen to themselves during the breeding sea- ! son. The expense of such a pen is very light You cannot expect to im pro re your flock without some slight j expense. Ten or fifteen hens will give j you all the eggs you need for breed- > mg stock next year, even after close culling. By another year you should be able to discard all your mixed stock . and rely on the improved birds to form all of the flock, which will yet demand . culling and good selection each year. MANY MEDICINES FOR ROUP - With Strict Quarantine and DUInfeet- \ ant in Drinking Water, Simplest Cures Are Best. There are many medicines tar roup, and with strict quarantine and dlsln- j fectant in the drinking water the ' simplest eures are often the best and \ surest, but here ls one that is worth trying. When you use this you-omit the disinfectant from the water, air ] lowing all, sick and well to drink it, ! but never the sick with the well, re member. Give this water to them in their hospitals. Get the druggist to mix it in this ' way: Two drams tincture of iron, two drams tincture of aconite, two drams tincture of belladonna. Add to this four ounces of water, and, after shaking well, put a full teaspoonful to each quart of drinking water. This is to be relied on in severe colds, and also in roup if you do not let lt get the ?tart of you in the flock. Get Rid of Vermin. Lice live upon the bodies of th? poultry. They deposit their eggs In the plumage, generally near the vent, and live upon the scurf, dead skin and feathers. To get rid of them reme dies must be applied to the bird. Charcoal ls Beneficial. Don't neglect to have a supply of charcoal before the layers at all times. It helps tc keep the flock healthy. TT TT TTT't T TTl"H"l I I ? I ITirTW OKESTiNB LEONIE By ELLIS BROWNE. Marjory tried her best not to listen, but the conversation floated across the table to her ears with almost fiendish clearness. Mrs. Faashaw's voice was a bit high pitched, and Just now she was radiant with excitement, contra dicting Tommy flatly about Willard "My dear child, I was there. He was simply mad over her. He can say what he pleases now, but I know and so does everybody else who saw them to gether." Tommy tried to divert her, catching sight covertly of Majory'a face, the expression in her clear blue eyes, the hurt, close lines around her lips. "Oh, I don't know, Mrs. Fanshaw. Will was Just a cub. I don't think he ever really cared for her." "Well, he certainly did, and if you could have seen her face last night at the box party Arline gave, when she heard he was in town, oh, my dear, my dear! Women are far more faith ful than men. Hasn't she the most beautiful red hair you ever saw in ali your life?" "I can't bear red hair," said Tommy blithely. Marjory knew she meant Leonie Raleigh. She had met her at,) a tea that week and had noticed what an unusual type she was. And Will, her Will, had been in love with her only three years ago. She fingered her engagement ring absently. He was really very nice, a gentle-voiced, well-mannered, middle-aged French man. And suddenly something he was saying caught her attention: "You know, so few artists have ever been able to catch Titian's tone.. Red hair has always exerted an extraordi nary effect on artists, yet it is rare. My friend the marquis is quite wild over a young Californian he met at tea yesterday." . "Miss Raleigh?" suggested Mar jory. Of course, it was Leonie. The men had flocked around her like bees at the tea. She had made a complete picture in the fading sunset light of the studio. "Yes. He cannot get the inspiration for his work until he has the divine thrill for his subject-you see? And he has sought fer a model for his Francesca. She must be this same Florentine type that Titian loved to paint, ah, the Florentine women with J their dark eyes and red hair and faces like whitest pearlii." The next day Tommy took Marjory in to dinner, as Will was west for a few days, and he noticed her look of I content. ly "You know, I expect yoV*?"p( any moment What have you been! to?" "Tommy," Marjory answered, "has the marquis any money?" "Not much. But he's a really fine sort of chap, and his title ls O. K. An cient regime, you know. Some of his people lost their heads in the same basket with Louis, I believe. Why?" "Nothing." Marjory changed the subject. The count kept her post ed. Both he sud the marquis belonged to the little MOUP of marooned conti nentals in New York, too old to go to war, marking time in the new world. And it appeared that the red-haired California girl was a splendid success. She had enough money in her own right to make the attentions of the marquis acceptable. Even before Will's return, everyone waa mating the two and talking of their romantic meeting. Marjory smiled and said nothing, not until the night when Will came back. She was at the opera with her mother, and two boxes away on the same tier were Leonie and the marquis. "You know her, don't you, dear?" she asked, very lmperonally. Tommy eyed her from the back of the box alertly. "Leonie Raleigh from Santa Barbara." Willard sat np, his eyes suddenly keen with interest "Where is sher "Right over there In the Seward box. Isn't she lovely, Will? Such wonderful red hair?" "Ah, they will be engaged la less than two weeks, I could wager," the count said happily, next her mother "He ls most devoted to har. He ls per fectly mad over har. And she ls quito willing to be th? fair marquis, ah, yes, quite willing." "You know," said Will appraisingly, "abe always seemed an awfully ordi nary girl to me. If lt hadn't been for her hair she'd never attracted any at tehtlon." "You knew her out West didn't you, dear?" "Oh, In a way. Glad she's going to marry a marquis. Leonie's tba kind of girl that requires plenty of back ground." Then, feminine to har pretty finger tips, Marjory could not resist Just the one question: "Were you ever really engaged to her, Will?" "Never!" ver/ emphatically. "You don't hivve to say that Just to make me feel happier, dear. I don't suppose you can be blamed when you hadn't met me yet, only I dread to look even in the eyes of any girl who may have been kissed by you, don't you know." "Sweetheart"-he leaned over her chair-"don't yju know that our love was so big and wonderful that it Just swept away evan the memory of any other out of my life." And Tommy beamed and stepped carefully hack out of the box. Even red hair could not eclipse that strike. (Copyright, 1915, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A. J.
