HOW TO MAKE ICE CREAM,
—
State College Expert Gives Proper Method
to Obtain Hest Results,
Helpful suggestions of how to pre-
pare luscious home made ice cream
were given Baturday by H. E. Van
Norman, professor of dairy husbandry
in the Btate College SBchool of Agri-
culture and Experiment Station,
when for the bepefit of those who
delight in serving a frozen delicacy of
their own concoction he outlined the
method taught and employed in the
big creamery at State College. He
said :—
“ Three potent factors in obtaining
the smooth, velvetry quality desirous
ia ice cream sre these : richness of tLe
cream, the proportion of salt and ice
in the freezing mixture and the
amount of stirring given the solution
to be chilled. Ordinary cream is not
too rich to make good ice cream, but
real double cream is too oily snd
should be diluted with milk or skim
milk until it contains the desired pro-
portion of eighteen to twenty-two per
cent, of fat before the flavors and
sugar are added.
“I find it expedient to crush the ice
in a box by using a stumper, or plac.
ing it ina bag and pounding with
hammer or mallet. When eight or
ten measures of crushed ice have been
placed in a freezer, add one measure of
salt, I want to empbasize the im-
portance of employing that proportion
of ice and salt as it reduces to a mini-
mum fhe amount of necessary churn-
ing, generally regarded so tedious.
Never fill the freezer more than two-
thirds full of cream, as the cream
swells in chilling.
* Allow the cream to become chilled
bafore you begin turning the freezer
rapidly. Oace the cream 1s cold, #0 as
not to churn, the more swift the agita-
tion the smoother aud lighter will be
the ice cream. Stop the beating when
the cream becomes thick and has the
body of boiling mush. This stage is
reached just after the glistening,
walery appearance of the cream has
vanished. Then remove the stirrer,
add sufficient ice and salt to keep the
packer surrounded, cover the freezer
with canvas or a piece of carpet to pre-
serve the ice by preventing radiation
of heat from the atmosphere, and al-
low the ica cream to stand from one to
three hours to solidify or ‘ ripen,’ as it
fs called.
“If properly iced the longer the
cream stands the better, up to twenty-
four hours. The brine may remain in
the tub provided there is an overflow
to prevent it from getting into the
cream.”

Lessons In Tree Culture,
The Pennsylvania Railroad Com-
pany is making avother practical
demonstration in the matter of re-
forestation. Upon the principle of ex-
pecting great osnks from little acorns,
the foresiry department of the com-
pany is engaged in planting 300,000
small red oak seediings—many of
which still have the acorns hanging to
the roots —on the company’s land two
miles from Lewistown. Several years
ago this same land was planted with
locust seedlings, the growth of which
has been remarkable. The oaks are
being set between the locusts. It is
calculated that in twenty years the
growth of these trees will be such as
to be available for use for very sub
stantial purposes. The company’s
lessons in tree culture are both inter.
esting and important,

A Thrilling Experience.
Wednesday afternoon of last week
J. Frank McCormick, son of Hon.
John T. McCormick, of State College,
with his cousin, Chester McCormick,
also of Btate College, passed through a
thrilling experience which neither
cares to repeal. J. Frank McCormick
is division manager of the American
Union Telegraph Company, with
headquarters in Lock Haven; and on
Wednesday he, in company with his
cousin, were driving over a portion of
the division in a buggy to pay off the
company’s employees. When at the
railroad crossing near Mackeyville,
they failed to notice the approach of
the afternoon passenger train on the
Central Pennsylvania railroad, and
owing to the high wind they did not
hear the locomotive whistle, so drove
ou the croming directly in front of
the spproaching train. The horse
and buggy were struck by the engine,
the horse being iostantly killed, and
the buggy so badly damaged as to be
almost unrecognizable, The Messrs,
McCormick were thrown out of the
vehicle, but fortunately away from the
train, so that almost miraculously
neither one was more than slightly
injured,
