Flie I'oKrnlUK of Kkkn In « ('nllnnry Art Which Hut Few Ilinini'Ufcp era Have Mimtcrcd. Nearly a hundred years ago Dr. Kitchener, who wrote what may be called the first practical English cook book in"The Cook's Oracle," declared that "the beauty of a poached egg is for the yolk to be seen blushing through the white, which should be just sutli ciently hardened to form a transparent veil for the egg." This is an epicure's description of a perfectly poached egg. In order to attain this much-to-be-de sired condition, the egg must be per fectly fresh; that is, not over three diiys old. An egg P. week old may poach well, but cannot be depended on if it has been kept in a warm place. There is no method of cooking in which a stale egg shows itself so quickly as it does by the white or albumen scatter ing in the water, as it does in poaching. The water must be boiling rapidly, and it should be strained when poured out of the tea kettle into the broad shallow basin foi poaching. This can be easily accomplished by tying a thin clean muslin cloth over the spout of the kettle. To three quarts of boiling water add an even tablespoonful of salt and a sal*, spoonful of good vinegar. Drop six eggs, one after the other, into the spot where the water bubbles up, doing the work as rapidly es possible. Do not allow 10 seconds to elapse before they are all in, or the first egg will be overdone. Let the water return to the boiling point and bubble around the eggs one minute. Remove the saucepan to the back of the fire and take the eggs up one by one with a skimmer, after carefully \ EO( >8 ON TO AST. loosening them one at a time from the bottom of the dish. If the eggs are fresh and the ditections are followed they will all be in good shape. Have ready us many pieces of toast us there are eggs. These pieces of toast should be a trifle larger than the egg, and the crusts should lie cut away. They may be square or circular in shape, browned delicately on both sides, and if dry moistened with a little hot water. Place an egg on each slice of toast and season it with a little salt and white pepper. Serve mushroom catsup or any English sauce with the eggs for those who like it. The eggs may also be served with a little anchovy paste spread on the toasts, when the catsup or the sauce would be unnecessary. Poached eggs on toast are nice with minced ham. Mince fine about two large slices of well boiled ham. It may be simply seasoned with a little cayenne, cr it may bedeviled by adding about half a teaspoon ful of mustard to a cupful of the ham. The ham should be heated and may be laid over the toast, or over the egg's and toast, or it may be made into little circular "plats" the size of the toast, or the toast omitted and the eggs served on the hum. French cooks al most invariably serve poached eggs on a bed of boiled spinach or boiled sorrel, and it is a delicious way. Ileat over some of the boiled spinach left from dinner. This is one of the few vege tables that may be heated over and be improved every time. Spread it out on a platter to the thickness of about an inch or an inch and a half and lay the poached eggs over it, or cut out circles of the spinach a little larger than the eggs,lay them on little squares of toast and place a perfectly poached egg over each circle.—X. Y. Tribune. Oenulnc French Fruit Salad. Arrange sections of two oranges, three sliced bananas, one-half pound white grapes which have been skinned, find 12 English walnuts quartered, on lettuce leaves. Serve very cold with a French dressing made of four table spoonfuls oil, two tablespoonfuls vine par, one-half teaspoonful salt and one fourth teaspoonful pepper. A pretty way to serve this is to arrange the let tuce in its original shape on a glass dish, put the fruit in the center, and just before serving pour over the dress ing. Everything should be chilled. The dressing, if allowed 1 to stand on the lettuce will cause it to wilt. This com bination does not sound especially at tractive, but it's really very good.

MAKING GOOD BREAD. How Any Wobirii May l<«*itrn to Ma«- t(>r 'l'll In Mont Vi» I unble of llouKcliold Art*, The day Ix fore bakinp—at noon in colli weather, in the evening \vh«?n it is warm—peel, cook and mash thorough ly live or six medium-sized Irish |ki tatoes. After putting the mashed po tatoes in a vessel you us« for sponge (I use a covered tin pail), add one-half teacup of sugar and one heaping table spoon of salt. With a fork beat and mix briskly; the longer you beat, the lighter tiie sponge will be. When cool, add one yeast cake, soaked. Set away in a rather warm place over night. In the. morning sift.your flour in the mix ing bowl, and to the potato sponge, after taking a teacupful out and put ting in a self-sealing can for your next baking, put as much warm water in proportions as you wish to make bread; for six rather small loaves use three pints of water. Stir into your flour, mix thoroughly and knead your dough well. Work in all the flour you can; putin a bowl to raise. When the bulk is almost doubled, which will be in two or three hours, according to the warmth of the dough, punch down with the lists; leave in the bowl to raise again. In about an hour it will be ready to mold into loaves. I T se as little flour as possible in molding the loaves; grease your baking-pan and also the loaves, being careful to grease well between the loaves, when double their bulk, rub the top with a wet cloth, and putin a moderate oven to bake one hour. If you do not have a deep bread pan. take stiff paper cut in strips two or three inches wide, pin together un til long enough to reach around your pan. .lust before putting in the oven, slip this paper around the pan. It will prevent the dough spreading over the sides of the pan. Don't have your oven too hot. It should be so that the cook can hold her hand in and count 2D rather quickly, llave the fire so that it will get hotter for about 20 min utes, then gradually cool down. After mixing the dough, keep covered with a warm cloth. The oven is a good place to raise bread in if you a • certain it is not too warm. The day before the next baking prepare potatoes, sugar and salt the same as before, but in stead of using a yeast cake, use the'tea cupful of potato sponge saved before. The bread will be better than before, and you can save out a teacup of potato sponge each time! If you bake bread at' often as onoe a week you will not need to use yeast again for six months or a year. W. A. Clearwaters, in Toa dies' World. STYLISH CAPE OF JET.

It Is I.lk In mul l-.u mll y Moved, nnil (.'an Coiihpii ik-ii 11 y lie I uril ut All hcajMiiiN of tli« Year. A Missouri reader of the Breeder's Jazette sends to that paper the follow ing letter and sketch: 1 send you a plan of a rack in which I feed corn (fodder and all) and hay to cattle. The rack is set in blue-grass pasture, where cattle are being fed. I io not full feed in winter, so in the fall [ bring my racks in and line them up ;n the southeast side of sheds, grove, >tc. I then set posts all around them ibout two and one-lialf or three feet ipart. I use fence rails, as they are sl.eap and abundant and answer every purpose. The posts ought not to extend more than one and one-half or two feet above the top of the trough on the side where feed is putin from sled or low rheeled wagon. My method of feeding Battle is to buy light, well-bred young animals in the fall and winter them strong. About May, or when the grass Is good, I move these same troughs back io the summer feeding grounds and give one good feed per day of broken snapped corn. The object of this plan of winter feeding is to keep the cattle themselves EXCELLENT FEEDING RACK, from soiling the feed by tramping, and especially to keep the hogs off of it. I have tried penning the hogs, alsc changing the cattle to another lot, bul found neither as satisfactory as this. I cut all my corn in shocks 16 hills square, also make as much clover hay as I can, all of which is fed during win ter, as above stated. Most of the fodder is fed, corn and all, right from the field, Isy feeding this way all the time in one place, I soon have a great bed ol stalks and refuse, which keeps down all mud and makes a fairly comfortable bed for the steers. This also makes a big manure pile, which even in this country is a good thing to have, espe cially if put on the stuble clover with « spreader, as I did last fall, lightly ma nuring from this one source alone fully 25 acres. This rack is light (three by twelve feet), is easily moved, and thus is in rise nearly all the time, winter and sum mer. My steers wintered this way anc did well last winter. GREAT CONVENIENCE.
