MORE ABOUT FIRELESS COOKER For long, slow cooking the, cooker is unsurpassed. Meats that aire tough and need long cooking will be tender and deli cious cooked the fireless way. One of the things to re member in fireless cooking ls that little water is needed when stewing, as there is little evaporation. When using the radia tors, as is best in nearly all cooking, heat them until they scorch a piece of paper at once when laid upon them. Have the pot roast in a tight vessel and boiling hot when it is placed on the radiator, then cover and let cook until tender. Another radiator placed on top will hasten the cooking but need not be used for a stew. For steaming puddings and brown bread, the cooking of rice, oatmeal and other cereals, for baking fruit cakes which are often so hard to bake in the oven, the cooker is an ideal saver of fuel and time. The country housewife, as well as the city one, may prepare her Sunday dinner, go to church and enjoy the sermon and a chat with her friends without hurrying home to cook dinner, for it will be all ready, never over cooked, boiled dry or underdone in the fireless cooker. By careful planning the cook knows to a minute how long certain foods need to cook and results never vary. The flavors of meats, fish or fowl cannot be surpassed in comparison with other ways of cooking, for by the slow process flavors are developed and brought out, the juices and natu ral flavors preserved. Chicken a la Fireless.-Prepare the chicken as for frying, brown it in ? little butter until all sides a^e evenly browned, in the dish in whicn it is t?" be cooked. Season well. Place a hoi stone in the cooker, put in the pol tightly covered. Put down the cookei lid and fasten tightly. Cook three hours for a flve-pound chicken. When ready to serve place the pieces on the platter and make a gravy with thick ened cream or top milk. This may be poured over the chicken or served in a gravy. IN COUNTRY OF NOVELIST Visitors to Summer Home of Kate Douglas Wlggin Wrote Entertain ingly of Their Sojourn Thee. Everyone who went to the Dorcas fair, held each summer at Quillcoie, the summer home of Kate Douglas Wiggin, talked about it, and a great many wrote about it. Here is an ac count of the tea party with which one group of visitors closed their after noon. "We took our tea at an old tea house down the road and in sight of the bridge. The tables were set out cf doors and I don't know which one of Mrs. Wiggin's characters served us. Certainly she was as good as anything in a book. There are servants; hired girls, and those who wait on table in Maine. Said she to me: 'What will you have to drink?' 'Tea,' I answered. One other of our party called for tea, but later changed to coffee when the other members ordered it. 'Well, what do you say now?' demanded the girl. 'Tea,' I answered firmly.' 'And sandwiches?' 'Certainly.' 'And we have gingerbread.' 'Gingerbread, too, but not with the sandwiches.' I seemed to have made a hit. In due season she reappeared from the house, deposited the coffee upon tho table, and a part o? the cup of tea in my lap. She wasn't looking at the tea. 'How zn?ny people do you think were up at Mrs. Wiggin's today?' she naked. 'Four thousand/ I answered. 'No, really,' she gasped. 'Only 1,100. They told me so. Four thousand?' *I didn't count; I guessed.' 'Then It was 1, 100,' she assured me, and deftly re moving traces of the spilled tea, went in search of the gingerbread. But dear me. Hollis is filled with people who have clad themselves in the gar ments of Mrs. Wiggin's characters. I suspect that during the afternoon we must have touched elbows with Mr. Cobb, and Mirandy. and Emma Jane and Clara Belle, and even, possibly, Mr. Aladdin." REASON GIVES WAY TO WILL Physiological Explanation That May Bring Strong Denials From Those Fond of Argument. "Men'? interests como to them from such sources as their parentage, birthplace, party or sect," writes Dr. W. Hanna Thomson, "and the influ ence of these factors in life sway their reasoning as naturally and irre sistibly as the wind carries with it the dust of a road. "This subservience of reason to the will is simply physiological and there fore so unconscious that it ia in no sen ?o hypocritical or insincere, how ever some may wonder at the intellec tual, feats, (a. reasoning. of_ thOBe who alive d?ffer?a" from themT n?T f? men tal faculty, but In their native environ ment "No one should wonder at or resent any reasoning as such, for this subor dinate in man has to do as he is bid den by his master. "In short, the world has yet to learn, once for all, that men are not to be justified nor condemned by such su perficial things about them as their opinions. "Set the will right first and men's opinions will follow suit as soon as they have opportunities for knowing better." AVOID SPREAD OF INFECTION Thorough Disinfection ls Essential to and Efficient in Preventing Contagion. In any outbreak of infectious dis ease among animals thorough disin fection of the premises is essential to preventing the spread of the conta gion. Certain substances, such as fresh slaked lime or unslaked lime in powder form, chloride of lime, car bolic acid, corrosive sublimate, for malin, formaldehyde gas, and com pound solution of cresol possess the power of destroying bacteria with which they come in contact. To make the use of such substances of value, hovever, the work must be done with the utmost thoroughness. In the disinfection of stables and premises the following directions should be carefully observed: 1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall partitions, floors, and other surfaces until free from cobwebs and dust. 2. Remove all accumulations of filth by scraping, and if woodwork has become decayed, porous, or absorbent, it should be removed, burned, and re placed with new material. 3. lt the floor is of earth, remove 4 inches from the surface, and in places where it shows staining with urine a sufficient depth should be re placed to expose fresh earth. 4. All refuse and material from sta ble and barnyard should be removed to a place not accessible to slaked lime. 5. The entire interior of the stable, especially the feeding troughs and drains, should be saturated with a dis infectant, as a 3 per cent solution of compound solution of cresol (U. S. P.), which would be four ounces of the compound to every gallon of water. The best method of applying the dis infectant is by means of a strong spray pump, such as those used by orchardsists. This- method Is efficient in disin fection against most of the conta gious and infectious diseases of ani mals, and should be applied immedi ately following any outbreak, and, as a matter of precaution, it may be used "olicTroT'Tw?o'y??rlyr '"i l- * ' AID TO VETERINARY^ WORK Device Illustrated by Means of Which Horse's Mouth ls Held Open Dur ing Examination. Two pairs of pivoted Jaws are equipped with teeth plates to cover the teeth of a horse. One of the jaws terminates In a set of fixed teeth, which may become engaged with a Holding Horse's Mouth Open. latch affixed to the other jaw. A strap holds the device in position on the head of the animal. By means of the teeth and latch, the horse's mouth may be held open during a veter inary's examination. - Popular Me chanics. ' TELL SHEEP'S AGE BY TEETH When Purchasing an Animal Ono Should See to lt That None of Molars Are Missing. A lamb has eight small first-teeth on the lower jaw. When the animal reaches the age of about one year, the middle pair are replaced by two per manent teeth, at the age of about two the teeth on e%her side of these permanent teeth are also replaced with a permanent pair; at the age of three the next tooth on either side gives way to a permanent tooth; and at about the age of four, the last or back teeth are replaced in like man ner. Briefly, then, a sheep with one pair of permanent teeth is a yearling; sheep with two pairs is a two-year old; with three pairs, a three-year odl; and with four pairs, a four-year old. After a sheep ls four years old, one cannot tell by the teeth about tho age. However, one who is purchasing a sheep should see to it that it has not lost any teeth, or that the teeth have not become long and shoe-peggy in appearance. Have Some Sheep. A nice herd of sheep will flt in al most any farm equation. Look up the pros and cons of the question very carefully and we believe that you will include them in your next year's schedule. If you have not the cash or inclination to start with an entire purebred flock, buy the best ewes you can and grade up with a purebred ram. Summons.
