HOME HINTS FOR HOUSEWIVES Meat For Chickens. V Editor Woman’s Department: Is chopped meat good for young chick ens ; if so, how often should it be fed to them ? A Housekeeper. Hon. William J. Northern, who is one of the most successful of the •many interested in chicken raising, believes that chopped meat is ex cellent for chickens. He gives it to bis chickens once a day but in small quantities Mrs. F. J. Spratling give? her chickens meat occasionally, but like Governor Northen, is a staunch believer in alfalfa as the most nu tritious all-round food for chickens. Wholesome Dishes. By Fannie M. Farmer. Rice Griddle Cakes —Mix two and one-half cupfuls of flour, two table spoonfuls of sugar, four teaspoon fuls of baking powder and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt. Work in one half cupful of cold cooked rice with tips of fingers ; then add one and one-half cupfuls of milk, one egg well beaten and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Dr of) mixture by spoonfuls on a hot griddle ; by the time the last one is on. the first one should be cooked on one side and ready to turn. (When it should be puffed, full of bubbles and cook ed oil edges.) Turn and cook tin* other side. By the time the last one is turned, if the work is done ■quickly, the first one is ready to remove and serve. Care must be taken if the finished products are to be regular in shape, of the same size and evenly browned. It must he remembered that the center of the griddle is usually the hottest part. A soapstone griddle needs only to be heated. The ordinary griddle or frying pan which is frequently used must he first heated and then rub bed over with the freshly cut part of half a raw turnip. Bread Griddle Cakes Bits of stale bread, which might otherwise be discarded, may be utilized in making griddle cakes. Prepare one And one-halt cupfuls of stale bread ■crumbs (rejecting the hard outside crust). Pv.nr over crumbs one and one-half capfuls of scalded milk and let stand to cool: then add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, two eggs well beaten and one-half cupful of flour mixed and sifted with four tea spoonfuls of baking powder and one-half .teaspoonful of salt. Cook same as rice griddle cakes. Cream Muffins—Mix and sift one and one-half cupfuls of bread flonr with two tablespoonfuls of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of baking powder and one teaspoonful of salt, and sift twice.

Then knead on a hoard with some confectioner’s sugar. Make into small balls, and dip into white of egg stiffly beaten. Roll in Can- Hied violets crushed with a rolling pin. Almonds, blanched, chopped and browned in the oven make almond balls. Corn Fritters —Beat up two eggs well ; add one heaping teaspoonful of salt, dash of red pepper, quarter teaspoonful of white pepper, half a cupful of n\ilk, one teaspoonful of olive oil. one cupful of tlonr. and two cupfuls of canned corn ; beat well together.

Dissolve the soda in a little water, put the flonr in the mixing hiwl and add the other ingredients. Stir until all the flour is mixed in. Roll out thin, cut with cookie cutter, and bake in hot oven. Soups. Chicken Gumbo—One good-sized chicken fried. Put from one and one-half to two gallons of water in soup pot. As soon as it boils put in fried chicken. Cut one quart of okra, one quart of ripe tomatoes and add to chicken. B >il constant ly. An hour before done cut and add one small onion. Just before serving add a little sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with spoon ful of boiled rice in each plate. Tins soup should be put oirby 8 :H0 for 1 o'clock dinner. Corn Soup—Cut the corn from the cob and boil the cobs in water for at least an hour, then add the grains and boil until done. Put one doz en ears of corn to gallon of water, which will be reduced to three quarts when done ; then pour on pint of sweet milk, two well-beaten eggs, salt and pepper to. taste ; con tinue the boiling, and stir in a tablespoonful of butter rubbed with two tablespoonfuls of flour. Grapefruit Recipes. Cnt the grapefruit in lialies crossways, remove the seeds (fully twenty, often more, will be found in each fruit), and with a sharp knife separate the pulp from the skin, cutting entirely around the fruit, then detach the portions of pulp from each section. The tough white membrane and center may be removed in one piece by cutting with the point of the knife, or with scissors if more convenient, through the center at the blossom or stem end. If preferred, ..lie cen ter only may be removed, and with the knife cut the pulp in each sec tion free from the membrane. The center may be filled with sugar, and a maraschino cherry added if desired. Allow to stand in a cold place fully fifteen minutes before serving. If the pulp of the fruit is to be combined with other fruits, it is de sirable to keep the pieces as large and unbroken as possible. To best accomplish this remove the skin in quarters, discarding every particle of the thick white skin ; separate carefully into sections, cut a slit in the membrane covering each section, remove membrane and all seeds, and leave the fruit in one large piece or break in smaller pieces. Tittle juice is obtained in this way. but the fruit is kept in better-sized pieces for soim uses. Iced Grapefruit-—Remove pulp by last method, mix with an equal quantity of Malaga grapes, skinned and seeds removed. Sweeten to taste, add three or four table spoonfuls of pineapple or other fruit juice, place in a freezer and put in ice and salt for an hour, or till partly frozen. Grapefruit Jelly—Soak two and one-half level tablespoonfuls ; of granulated gelatin in one-half cup ful of cold water for fifteen min utes, add one cupful qL boiling water, three-fourths of a cupful of SAVE $ $ $ SAVE S $ S SAVE $ $ $ SAVE $ $ $ SAVE $ $ $ TO any 11 •' Guaranteed for t!§’ three years und $65.00 DEALERS 1 f I s «ve / the difference SOUTHERN EMPIRE fitted with any style spring THIS BUGGY IS A WORLD BEATER It Baffles Competition It Is Absolutely IJnmatchable at the Price SAVE $ $ S SAVE S $ $ SAVE $ S $ SAVE $ $ $ SAVE S $ $ and certainly is worth several dollar s more to you tlum any ordinary one year guarantee.

Pieces of the grape fruit pulp may be added if desired. To Clean Brass. An old-fashioned way to clean brass is to put whatever is being cleaned into strong hot soda and water, then cover it over with soap; next lift it out, and put it in a dish just as it is; pour boiling water over it, let it steep for two or three minutes, then lift it out and dry carefully. It should not require any rubbing or polishing after this treatment. If very dirty it may be boiled in soda and water. Lacquered goods may also be cleaned by this method. Another excellent cleanser of brass is finely siftered rottenstone mixed to a paste with sweet oil. Apply this in the usual way, and finally pol ish with a little dry rottenstone on a leather or the palm of the hand. Or moisten a little powdered bath brick with kerosine or vinegar, and apply this with a flannel to the brass, rubbing it on thoroughly; then wipe it off with a clean cloth, and finally polish with psoft dust er and powdered bath-brick, rub bing it up at the last with a leather. Ammonia added to the water in which brass is washed is also ex cellent. The old unlacquered brass is best cleaned by dipping an onion-peel or a squeezed-out lemon into fine sand, applying this to the brass, aRd then rubbing it up as before. Brass that has been neglected may be cleaned as fol lows: Dissolve one ounce of oxalic acid in half a Dint of boiling water, add a tablespoonful of hydrochloric acid, then s .ake well and apply with a flannel. Only, remember this is a strong poison, so that it is best to carry out the treatment yourself, and not leave it to a maid. —“How Do You Clean Your Saucepans and Metals?” in Ladies’ World for February.
