Yorkshire Pudding-Ono cup milk,

one cup flour, two eggs, quarter tea- spoon salt. Mix salt and flour, and add milk gradually to form a smooth paste; then add eggs beaten until very light. Cover bottom of hot pan with some of beef fat, pour mixture in pan one-half Inch deep. Bake twenty minutes in hot oven. busting after well risen,with some of the fat_from pan in which meat is roasting. Cut in squares for serving. Bake if preferred, in greased, hissing hot iron gem pans.

Baked New Beets.-Wash and

scrub new beets in a pan containing a little hot water to keep them from sticking, and bake till tender in u moderately hot oven, from 40 minutes to an hour. Cool. remove skins and serve seasoned with butter, salt and pepper.

Boned Quarter of Lamb-One pound

of forcemeat; melted butter. Bone a quarter of lamb. illl it with force- meat, roll it round, and tie it with a piece of string, cover lt with a butter- ed paper androast it. Serve it with melted butter; ‘

Lower the Oven Temperature-lf

the oven becomes too hot whilt baging or roasting. a pan of very cold water placed in the oven will lower the tem- perature with better results than op- ening the 'oven door. The latter meth- od cools the oven too quickly and sometimes, especially in baking, ruins the article that is being prepared.

COLOR IN DECORATION

A practical little book on "Good

Taste in Home Furnishings," devotes the first chapter to come as the most important consideration. According to the authors (Maud A. Bell and Henry Blackman Sell): -

“The first thing to do when you are

confronted with the decoration and furnishing of a given room is to take an inventory of its color possibilities. lt is the element that can materially strengthen or weaken the most care- fully studied arrangement of form and

llup-.”

The psychological effect of colors.

red being exciting. blue elevating, and yellow cheering, is explained. but the authors warn against the use of either red or pure blue as being too positive.

All colors need modifying before

they can be successfully used in home decorating. In selecting a. color schem for a room those colors should be usei which have one of the prim- nry colors as a base. The following example is given:

"For example, let us assume that

we wish to decorate a room whose prevailing colors shall be buff-we find that in producing buif we have includ- ed a little yellow and red. some orange russed and citron. We are to apply these to a living room, the woodwork of wlliéh is dark mahogany. We would llllilly the buff, the prevailing color, to the walls; the russet to the floor, we would lighten the buff with a irielie of 0l’lllse. and the russet with a carpet of citron. and we would bring out the bright spots with a lamp or a leaded window in which pure red and yellow

Hoglld bring the whole scheme into re- e .”

Yellow is an expanding color and

makes areas seem large. hence its value in a small room. Red is a posi- tive color and makes a room hold its true value. Blue is a contrasting color and makes a place seem smaller.

#W SWINE FEVER

In answer to the question, "What

are the symptoms of swine fever?" the following answer is given in the Weekly Cape Breton Times and Farm- ers’ Record:

There are two different forms,

namely, the acute and the subacute or chronic, and often the first one or two of the herd attacked suffer from the acute form and quickly die, those attacked later having the chronic form, from which a great proportion would recover if allowed to do so by the authorities. In acute cases the pig refuses food, lies huddled up, sometimes having a discharge from the eyes, and a high temperature of 106 degrees F. or 108 degrees F. At first the animal is constipated, which later on is followed by diarrhoea. Very often the discoloration of the ears and underneath surface of the body does not appear, as the animal sometimes dies after an illness of two or four days, but most cases which occur are of the subacute or chronic form, and after lying about for a day or so the temperature rises to 103 to 107 degrees F. accompsnisd with a shivering, prostration, and loss of ap- petite. Sometlmes the lungs are af- fected, other times the hindquarters, when'the gait becomes unsteady and the hindquarters sway from side to side. When diarrhoea is present, it is generally very offensive, and may be either yellow, black. grey, or green in color. There is often a cough, which is rather characteristic, as it seems as if the pig had a bone or some foreign body in the throat, and was trying to bring it up. The rash. which shows about the end of the first week's illness, is generally found in- side the thighs. and may turn later on to ulcers. The sick animal has an Ulltllrlfly. stunted look, which is eas- ily recogniied by anyone who has seen several cases. It is found that taking a very large number of out. breaks amongst herds about 30 per cent. of those affected die. Swine fev- er may he mistaken for several other diseases and vice versa. as it is so erratic in its symptoms, attacking, as it does. all or any of the following or- gans: The stomach, intestines, lymp- hatlc glands, lungs, heart, spleen, uv. er and kidneys. The British Board of Agriculture believe that pig owners should suspect the existence of swine fever if any of the following six things 000lll'1 (1) When a number of animals “V0 dvillg- (2) When a number of animals are sick or unthrlfty. (3) When periodic deaths are taking place, even if the other pigs are llesllhv- (4) when a high mortality is noticed_ln sucking or newly-weaned 19188- (5) When a number of- 'pigs are sick or dying with symptoms of illlollmonla. diarrhoaea, or what may appear to be acute swine erysiyelas_ (6) The fact df the suspicious symp. toms appearing first in pigs which, have been recently purchased or in a sow which has been to the boat, or in pigs recently castrated.

_T

A GOOD 80W

No sow is valuable to a farmer or

bl`00dBl’. no matter how highly bred she may be, or how long her pedigree, or how high a cost, that is not a good mllker and able to feed her pigs in such a way that they grow with ordi- nary and reasonable ropidity. Com- plaints of vonns pigs doing badly while with the sow are very common. Occasionally the person making the complaint recognizes that the sow is a poor milker or a bad mother, as the general run of pig breeders express lt; but in the lllniority of cases it is not even dreamed of that the pigs are do- ing badly because they do not get sufllcient milk of proper quality to Bllllsfy their growing requirements.

A~ large number of pigs die young

from no other cause than that they are starved, that is to say, they are un- able to get sufficient sustenance from their mother. Young pigs are difficult to rear by hand: they do not take kindly to cow’s milk, or rather it does not suit them, because it is deficient ln fixed constituents, particularly in fat, and they do not pay for tho new milk received.

There is no greater nuisance on a

farm than 'a litter of motherless pigs, or a lot that are practically orphans, because their mother has not enough milk for them. Pedigree pigs are the worst offenders in the matter of defic- ient milk production; especially is this the case if the sierd has been ln- bred. - But bad milkers and poor mothers have been found among all breeds and classes and require to hd looked after in selecting breeders and to be ruthlessly weeded out if the discovery of their imperfections is de- layed until a litter of pigs has been spoiled or starved.

In a genei-al way when engaged in

breeding ordinary stock no second chance should be given a sow that has proved herself unable to bring up her pigs in a thoroughly satisfactory man- ner. There may be some hesitation in sacrificing a pedigree animal that has cost a lot of money, but if she does not look like a good suckler, or if she fails at a second trial. she should be fattened for the butcher. She may have excellent points in other ways

but hxy cannot compensate for the loss ich results from the dying off of balf or perhaps three fourths of each farrow. it is also advisable, in cases where the progeny is to be kellf- to strengthen the herd, to select boars from dams which show thorough mat- ernal capacity.

foot, teach him to stanu on three legs and not depend on the one hold- ing up his foot for the fourth point of support. The handling oi’ a colt’s feet begins with the near front foot. The a rope around the pastern, grasp the

against the shoulder, and quickly lift the foot; The lifting of the foot must be silnulantaneous with the weight shifting to the' other feet. Repeat sev- eral times anil then trim and level the hoof.

To also a hind foot', put on a rope

as on the front and draw the foot for- ward.

A USEFUL MARE.

An old white mare tramped steadly

back and forth through tho vegetable rows, handling ‘her half of the work. A good gelding walked beside her. They made a satisfactory pair. The driver explained that the white mare had been rescued a year ago by the country agricultural advisor. The ow- ner had decided to sell her for what ever she would bring, as she had heaves too badly to work. Now she is scarcely any more sailable for she still shows signs of heaves, but she works about as well as ever.

Tho transformation was accomplish-

ed easily. Up to a year before the mare had been allowed to indulge her appetite for hay in Winter as well as Summer, As the heaves grew work- ed less and less in Winter and' took on considerable fat. Then her wind grew still shorter. The owner was afraid she would die if worked. The county adviser asserted that she would still be useful for years if fed differently. He had the hay cut down to a mere handful at a time, less than half what she had been eating. Both the oats and hay were molsiened if dusty. When spring work started she was given a daily allowance of the standard of the Fowler’s solution of arsenicun- til after six weeks he seemed much Improved. Then the medicine was om- mitcd unless her condition seemed to demand it for perhaps a month of i

~ Hay was still ftd lightly :~ I-I

oats were given in rather scan( fi.. ount so that she worked down lull-l'»~ worm weather to a moderate der: ~ -o of flesh. As the season wore on she lm- proved steadily. By harvest time she ‘had so nearly returhed to her old-time form that she walked right along on the hottest days with less distress than younger and much more valuable horses beside her.

That was a, year ago the same me-

thods have beon continued and 'her usefulness has been preserved. She could only be sold cheaply, for tech- nically she still has heaves, but she works as well as ever. Asked what he would do with her, the owner re- plied that he would keep 'her as long as she could work and then end her life mercifully.

The method the county advisor put

in practice is not new. Veterinarians use it constantly when consultedabout such cases. They admit that heaves i commonly incurable but they can relate instances like this in which their advice has extended the useful- ness of an otherwise useless horse. Such a change cannot be wrought in a day or a month. It requires faith that results will follow after a steady rational programme of treatment. Certainly it is wortll while to under- take it when the expense is not ovcr $1 a. montil in Summer for medicine, and there is a. saving of half the hay bill all the time. The net result is a saving in the working force. Too much hay is the common cause of heaves. Letting horses suffer that way is one way of “kkilllng them with kindness.”-Breeders’ Gazette.

wvvolga, 2.07%. now shares the honor _of being the fastest two year old filly

with Native Belle; 32 2.06%.

(Held Over From Lust Week.) The Grand Circuit horses will be at

Hillsgrove, R. I.,.0.ct; 25, Nov. 6.

The 2.08 trot at Lexington on Tues-

day of this week went to Lizzie Brown, who made the miles in 2.07%, 2.05%, and 2.05%. Harry T. S. was second and Duchess third.

O 3 O

The pacer Earl Jr., after numerous

campaigns down the Grand Circuit, showed the race-goers he is still very much alive, by winning the 2.04 pace at Lexington, pacing two heats in 2.03% and 2.01%. I

The Ashland $2.000 purse for 2.19

trotters at Lexington on Tuesday was captured by St. Frisco in three straight heats. Laramie Lad, was second. Slip Past third and Joe Blom- on fourth. The time was 2.08, 2.08%, 2.07%.

s s s

The time allowance rule permitted

Earl Jr., 2.01% to start in two races last week, and the veteran won both of them. He is a truly remarkable race horse, having equalled his record in one heat and stepping a quarter in .29%.

S O U

The little trotter Indian Hill, which

is an own brother to the world's champion trotter Uhlan 1.58, seems to be in grand form, as just recently he reduced his record to 2.14% and has been a. close second in 2.14%. over a half mile track.

U I il

When Mary Putney won the Ken-

tucky Futurlty, she made a new rec- ord of 2.05% for three year old trot- ting fillies and many think she can shade that considerably. She was a nngllty cheap buy for her owner, Chauncey Sears, as she has won the price twice over.

U U U

Mary V., the fast two year old Co-

chato filly, owned by J. E. Goldberg, of Detroit, has been turned over to Lon McDonald tc be prepared for her engagements next season. After work- ing a mile in 2.23% last fall, Mr. Gold- berg paid $3_500 for the youngster. She has not been started this year.

Grand Opera had his measure tak-

en by Peter Stevens at Trenton, N. J. in the free for all, but the big Can- adian stallion went a grand race and fought the son of Peter the Great every inch of the way. Grand Opera has won about a dozen races this season, being second twice and once out of the money. This is not a bad campaign for one which many thought was a has been.

The starting at the C. D. C.. matinee

races this season was of a very high order. No horses were given a pre- ference and the scoring was reduced to a minimum. Starters Brown and Hughes, horsemen declare, are the equals of any mon in their lille in Canada. Mr. Brown has been in the game for the last decade and is look- ed upon it being exceptionally well up in big business.

The Canadian trotter, Vanko. 2.11%

owned and driven by Uri Pierce, of Longwood, Ont., is beyond question one of the best trotters that has ap- peared on the half mile tracks this season. In all, he has started in thir- teen races over the two lap tracks, has been seven times first, five times second and once out of the money. He trotted to his record ln a race over a half mile track and has been in 2.10 in a race on is two lapper_ As Vanko is but five years old he looks to have a good chance in higher soci- ety.

The thrcc year old lilly, The Pierette

-daughter of Peter the Great. 2.07%. and Madame Thompson. by Guy Wilkes, 2.15%-which took a 2.10 mark at Lexington at the recent meet- ing, would have beaten 2.10 handily had not the first half of her trial been so slow. 1.07%, first quarter .34%_ She camo home from the half in 1.08, trotting the third quarter in .31, and. on that showing, looks like a sure 2.09 or better trottcr. ' Outside of her speed, The Pierette is a race mare of class having won five or six races in which she has taken part this sea- son. ln doing that, she took a mile track mark of 2.14%, but that was no criterion of her speed, as, after win- ning in 2.19%, in one of her half mile track engagements, she was brought out again and driven a workout in 2.14. She is a full sister to Eva Tan- guay. 2.09%, and has other distin- guished relatives, among them Peter Thompson, Kentucky Futurlty winner and holder of the record for three

year old geldings_.

Hal Boy, the Hal B.-Altalina gelding,

owned by Stoughton A. Fletcher, of indianapolis, Indians, defeated Judge Ormonde, the Armcnde~l-lssel Banks stallion oi* Barton Pardee, of Colum- bus. Ohio, in the $10,000 match race at the Grand Circuit meeting at Lex- ington on Tuesday. R.. J. Mclienaie, of Winnipeg backed the Fletcher horse for $5,000. while C. A-_ Valeniue, of Columbus, Ohio, was credited with putting up the money for-the side bet on Iudge Ormonde. The race was one of the most exciting, with the most thrilling finishes ever witnessed on a Lexington track. The first heat was easy for Hal Boy. but in the sec- ond he was only a llsad in front after catching _Judge Ol-monde at the eighth pole. In the third Judge Or- monde won a nnlsh so close that only the Judges could separate them. In the fourth, and deciding heat.
