14 X&OMen Epicurean Episodes By DOROTHY DIX. Real husbands, like real terrapin once so plentiful in this country that •ven the poor could afford to indulge in them every day, have now become so scarce that they are a luxury of the rich. This has made it necessary to find some substitute for the genuine arti cle, for it is a well-known fact that the capricious feminine appetite ■ craves this dainty morsel almost as Insatiably as it does chocolate creams, and that women consider no menu properly balanced in which husband is not served up in some fashion or other. Real husband being so difficult to capture, even by the most expert sportwomen, and so extremely* high priced as to be practically out of the Teach of everyone except widows who have been left large wads of life in surance, housewives have sought something that would taka its place at the family table, and a number of ingenious and toothsome compounds have been devised, whose flavor and eubstance are so much like the real thing that they deceive any but Reno connoisseurs. There are several ways in which this dish may be prepared. The best is, perhaps, Mock Husband, a la Suf fragette. To make this, take a chimney that smokes, a cat that stays out at night, a parrot that swears, and a pocket book with a Tale lock on it that you cannot pick, and mix them all thor oughly together. Serve piping hot. This dish has all of the peculiar flavor of the real article, and is a great favorite with old maids, espe cially around Boston, where it sup plements their sacred baked beans as an article of dally diet.

Blend these thoroughly together and serve with a garnish of grocery bills and dry goods bills and other household ex penses. This dish is peculiarly appe tizing for a breakfast food, and is so satisfying that no woman was ever yet known to desire a second por tion of it. Those who have made Mock Hus band after this receipt guarantee that it is so exactly like the real article of which thousands of women have partaken every morning since they were married, that should it be sub stituted for the simon-pure article they would never know the difference. To give Mock Husband Ordinate a still more realistic touch a dash of stale beer or high balls may be added, but this is optional with the cook and not at aJI necessary. Another form of Mock Husband called Mock Husband a la Saphira is a great favorite in many households, and is frequently served to guests by wives whose husbands belong to the rara avis or fly class. Not being able to obtain any real Husband for their parties or festivities, these poor wo men are reduced to the necessity of concorting a substitute that they fondly believe deceives even their dearest female friends. The basis of Mock Husband a la Saphira is lies. Take as many of these (and be sure they are large, juicy lies) as theer arc persons to be served. It is best to always select the same kind of lies, as they blend better than lies of different varieties. Having made your lies, season the mixture with as much plausibility as you can command, sprinkle it over with an unlimited quality of refer- of at a public election in such manner as shall be provided by law; but any city, the debt of which now exceeds seven per centum of such assessed val uation. may be authorized by law to Increase the same three per centum, in the aggregate, at any one time, upon such valuation, except that any debt or debts hereinafter incurred bv the city and county of Philadelphia for the construction and development of sub ways for transit purposes, or for the construction of wharves and docks, or the reclamation of land to be used In the construction of a system of wharves and docks, as public Improvements owned or to be owned by said city and I county of Philadelphia, and which shall yield to the city and county of Phila delphia current net revenues in excess of the interest on said debt or debts ' and the annual instalments necessary j for the cancellation of said debt or I debts, may be excluded In ascertaining ' the power of the city and county of| Philadelphia to become otherwise in- ' debted: Provided, Thai a sinking-fund ' for their cancellation shall be estab lished and maintained," so that It shall read as follows: Section S.

Mock Husband a la ?aphira Is the piece de resistance In many million aires' homes, where the girl children acquire such a taste for it that even in later life, they prefer it to the real article. Of course there is a certain sweet ness, and tenderness, and delicacy of flavor about Real Husbands that Mock Husbands never acquire, no matter with what skill they are cooked up. Still when it is impos sible to obtain the genuine article— and the species wihch our grand mothers used to serve at the head of their table as the chief ornament of the feast seems well nigh ex tinct—we must make-shift with what substitutes we can find, and the re ceipts which have been given will, if faithfully followed, enable any wom an to impart a distinct flavor of mat rimony to her frugal fare, and give it a pleasing diversity from the usual tea and toast of spinsters.

"I Harrisburg, p». j Poultry Kept in the Yatd Will Red uce Cost of Living COPYRIGHT, 1915. BLACK WYANDOTTES Birds that were almost black were not uncommon among Silver Ivaced Wyandottes in the early days of that variety. In 1885 an Ohio breeder mated a pen of his darkest birds, and by constant selection he and others produced the Black Wyandotte, which was recognized as a pure variety in 1893. Black Wyandottes are excellent lay ers, grow fast and make excellent broilers and table fowls, being plump and compact, with rich, yellow skins. They mature early and begin laying probably sooner than any other Wyan dotte. They do well in small space, and are excellently adapted to the backyard poultry plant. Their bril liant greenish-black plumage does not show the dirt and soil of confinement, Two Dozen May Be Kept in House 10x12 Feet and Yard 12x50 Feet, or in Smaller Space If Neces sary Waste From the Table May Be Turned Into Eggs and Meat; Three Ways of Starting By Reese V. Hicks Former President of American Poul try Association, and now General Manager Rancocas Poultry Farms, Browns Mills, N. J. COPYRIGHT, 1915. Poultry-keeping affords one of tlie most practical methods of reducing tlie cost of living. Kconomy in the household is secured by turning table scraps into meat and eggs. Mr. Hicks tells how to start with a home flock of poultry and gives directions for tlie care of the fowls. SINCE eggs and meat are consid ered necessities in almost every household, it follows that one of the most practical means of econ omizing in household expense is to produce these at home. By utilizing table scraps as feed, practically every householder with room for a small flock of poultry can make the fowls yield a profit of from 100 to 200 per cent, per annum. A flock of twenty-five hens will pro duce enough eggs for a family of six. Such a flock will largely live on the table scraps that otherwise would go into the garbage can. In addition, the small poultry raiser can have an occasional fowl for his own table. It requires only an average of an hour a day to care for a flock of this size. This care can be given in the morn ing and evening before and after working hours. Eggs are increasing in price con stantly, and this is true of meat of all kinds. There is no better and easier way of economizing than by keeping a few hens in the backyard. There is considerable satisfaction in having eggs when one wants them, without having to pay high prices, particularly in the winter when they are most needed, and it is worth something, too, to be able to get "strictly fresh" eggs without having to go to the store. Only Small Space Required The space required for twenty-four hens need not be more than 10x12 feet for housing, and 12x50 feet for yarding, or even less. In fact, some successful small flocks of poultry are confined to houses with four square feet of floor space for each fowl and equal space for the yard. When kept in so small a space the birds, of course, require more care and if more room is available it should be used. • The house should be what is known as the shed type, with the roof slop ing from the front to the rear.: It need not be more than five feet high in the real-, but should be at least seven feet high in the front. The house should have a glass window, not less than 3x4 feet, in the front, and I an opening of the same size covered I with m.sliri or burlap. This opening is for ventilation, and should not be covered with glass. The window should be kept open in nice weather and should be closed only on stormy days. Avoid Expensive Buildings Most beginners who engage in poul try keeping on a commercial scale make the mistake of erecting expen sive buildings. Successful commercial poultry plants keep the cost of the buildings down to the lowest possible figure—seldom more than $1 per fowl, and practicable buildings can be put up for even less than this. For a number of years one promi nent egg farm has kept 500 laying hens in a house 100 feet long and 14 feet wide. This house is 9 feet 5 inchea high In the front with a height at the back of 4 feet. 5 inches. By making the roof high in front, the operator can do his work easily with out bumping his head: and the lower ceiling in the bp.ck helps to keep the house warmer in winter. This house gives more than 3>4 square feet of floor space to each fowl, but the fowls kept in it are a Mediterranean variety which do not require as much room as larger breeds. Economy In the construction of poultryhouses may be secured by using prepared rooting, but the builder should Vie careful to select only a good grade of roofing. Cheap pre pared roofings go to pieces quickly, and it is economy to spend a few cents more per snunre to secure sev eral years' longer service. Moke the poultryhouse as simple In construction as possible. Fancy fix tures. elaborate mess boxes, etc., add nothing to Its efficiency but add con siderably to the cost. Opposed to this system of keeping and the fowls always present a good appearance. The hens are strong foragers and this, combined with other good quali ties, makes them a profitable farmer's fowl, while, on the other hand, they do well in confinement, as do all Wyandottes. This is in favor of their use in the small backyard flock where the hens will keep the table supplied with eggs, and if chicks are reared you may have table poultry at any time from broiler size up. Their splendid plumage, yellowish legs and red comb and wattles make them favorites with some fanciers. The standard weights demanded in this breed are 6 % to 7 pounds for females and 7 % to BV6 pounds for males. many fowls in one house is the col onyhouse system which is used suc cessfully by many poultrymen. The colonyhouses are seldom more than Bxl2 feet in floor area and they are generally built on skids so that they may be hauled from place to place. These cost more per fowl than the larger houses but have the advantage of being easily movable and by being serviceable in the Spring as brooder houses, in the summer as homes for flocks of young stock, and in the win ter for housing laying fowls or breed ing pens. Don't Give Scraps to Chicks Adult hens may be fed entirely on table scraps, but young chicks should not be fed table scraps from the begin ning. They should be two months old before they receive an entire feed of table scraps. By "table scraps" Is meant the left-overs of meats, bread, pies, cake, etc., potatoes, cabbages and other vegetables. This also in cludes the trimmings of meat, lettuce, potato peelings, and the like. These should be cooked together when fed to young chicks, but for the older hens they may be chopped fine and given raw. When not enough table scraps are secured to feed the flock, the scraps may be cooked and mixed with equal pa.rts of bran and cornmeal, and this mixture fed to the fowls three times a day. When a wet mash is led this way it Is better also to give the hens a light feeding of grain early in the morning and late in the afternoon. Three Ways of Starting There are three ways of getting started with a small flock as outlined above. First—Secure hatching eggs and an incubator. If the incubator is cor rectly handled, and the hatch turns out satisfactorily, this method Is doubtless the cheapest, but a beginner will frequently overlook some impor tant details of incubation and thus make his investment unprofitable. Second —Buy baby chicks. These usually cost double the price of hatch ing eggs. While the beginner does not have the trouble of incubation, there are difficulties raising the chicks, and this way of starting—like the buy ing of eggs for hatching—may be fol lowed only in the Spring. Third—Buy laying hens or pullets, preferably pullets, because they usual ly lay the heaviest in their first year. This method costs more at the start, but is probably the safest for the be ginner, and can be used at any time of the year, especially in the Fall and winter when the demand for eggs is heaviest. In the selection of breeds it pays best to pet what is known as standard bred varieties; that is, those that have been bred for a definite purpose like egg production, or a combination of egg and meat production.

For eggs alone, the Single Comb "White Leghorns are recognized as the leading variety. If it is desired to pro duce both eggs and meat, the Ply mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Or pingtons and Wyandottes all are valu able, and any of these will prove profitable as "dual-purpose" fowls. Poultry raisers who are operating on a small scale often make the mis take of attempting to carry too many fowls or expecting too large a profit on a small number of fowls, especially at the beginning. A beginner should remember that he will make errors in feeding and caring for the fowls, and that his profits will be small until he learns to manage them. But as an offset against this will be the satisfac tion and pleasure of keeping the fowls himself and of being able to raise his own products—products that he knows are high in quality. > \ Choosing the Poultry For the Home Flock J. Harry Wolsieffer, practical poultryman. will give advice next week on "Selecting the right, kind of birds for the home flock." He will suggest the choice of varieties for egg production, for meat, or for a combination of these uses, and discuss the characteristics or the most desirable breeds.
