WAYS "r -A PM of the Numerous Methodi By Which it ls Mame factored am;â€" In visiting Greece I was struck with the primitive ovens built behind most of the houses in small towns, says a ~Greece letter in the Bakers’ Weekly. they Were like large beehives, built of clay; they were evidently solid up to the sole, then had the arched roof over, with a door at one side. They are heated with fires of straw and twigs. _ In some places We find holes dug in the earth and lined with stones in which a fire is kept burning until ‘suf~ ficient heat is raised, the bread be- ing then put in and a stone laid over the opening, with a fire on it to keep “sup the cooking heat. In these ovens, We are told, the South Sea islanders bake their bread, fruit, yams and roast pork, and doubt- as they answer the purposes very all. In some eastern countries fire put into a large earthen jar with nail mouth and sloping sides, the cakes of broad being stuck on the out- side of the jar to bake. Then we know the old fashioned 'girdle, so much used in old Scotch houses, on which scones, bannocks and oatcakes are tried. This is also employed in Scandinavia for baking the universal "F‘lad brod," and it is also in use in many other countries in various shapes. ‘ ‘ in Cornwall the old kettle style of oven is still used for home halting, the -dough being laid on the hot hearth- 'stone with a large round iron pot in- verted over it. Fire outside of this keeps up the baking heat and the Cor- mlsh “kettle bread" is very good eat~ ‘ ing indeed, even it it is a little pud- : dingly in the centre sometimes. ' U Even more primitive means of bak- ing have to be used sometimes, as when the Austrian digger ro‘lls up his, "damper" in leaves and covers it with hot ashes to bake; but still all methods from hot stones to draw plate ovens are used for the one great pur- pose, to make bread, and the variety of means used for this and goes to show the universal importance of that article. Regular bakehouses with pro- per ovens seem to have been in use however, for hundreds of years, and doubtless many relics of them are still in existence. lCLEANlNG AND POLlSHlNG ‘How to Keep Glass and Silver Wars in Good Condition A chamois of extra‘fine quality, put up in clean, separate oiled paper pack- ~ages, is now to be had. One can pol- :lsh glass, silver or enamel with it, tusing any of the Usual polishing agents, then wash and dry the cham- ois, with the happiest of results. It will not become hard and stiff. When .»dry it may be pulled in shape and will 'be found as soft as when purchased. This has been tested in-our Experi- mental Station. in comparison with higher. priced "imported skins, much "to the disadvantage of the latter. The larger pieces of silver, espe- wcially the ornamental pieces, hard to «flesh, may be immersed in a bath of boiling water to which considerable washing soda or horas; has been add- ed. Let boil for an hour, then dry. and polish with chamcis and whiting. "Rub a paste of whiting on the smaller ’silver and then polish with the cham- ois. This paste is best made with alcohol. If ammonia is used the sil- vcr will have to be repolished sooner. The cleaning 0! table pads is a pro- on m. The small asbestos pads may .‘be cleansed by putting, them in the :Iurnace and letting them burn clean, a plan which is not feasible with the pad that covers the table. This will have ' to be cleaned with benzine. sponging the spots as in the case of any iabric.â€"â€"Gcod Housekeeping. PRIDE TOOK A t-‘ALL. Once upon a time a poor beggar man, who lived in a country where the ‘. “kingwas called a Sultan, stood in a street and begged. By and by there came walking .along the street a man who was dress- ed in very tine clothes. The beggar. who knew that such a pan would have money in his pocket, tried out in a loud voice for help. Now the man in very fine clothes lived in the palace of the Sultan, and he was called the Sultan's favourite. But in- stead of giving the beggar man some money he just picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at him. And the beggar man picked up the" stone and put it into his pocket. "Perhaps some day," said he, "I ’shall be able to throw it back at the haughty fellow and revenge myself." Well, week after week passed by. and at last the beggar saw the haughty man who had thrown the a-tone at him riding on the back of a camel. But the man was not haughty now for the Eultan had sent him away. And as he rode on the back of the camel to pri- son all the other beggar men threw szones at him. ‘ The beggar man took his stone out 3 of his pocket. But instead of throw- ing it he dropped it onto the ground. "No." said the Inggar man, "I will not throw it back. though he threw it t me. it is mean and cruel to re- venge oneself on a man who has be- some your and “liberal.” chfihfihfli MWWUFWH The Only Why to Protect Their blocs tive Organsâ€"{Tho Right Kind to Use Unless rows are provided with grit of a suitable kind. a great amount of extra work is thrown upon the diges tive organs, which in time become overv‘vorked and consequently debili- tated. : The gizzard of a fowl is the main organby which its food is ground into a digestible state, but this organ can- not itself properly perform the bosom nary function of grinding such food as hard grain. It requires assistance in the form of hard and sharp particles of grit. These particles, mixing with the food, and being continually kept on the move by the action of the gin- ssrd, pulverlze such food and render it into a proper state for nourishing the [owl's system. When one handles an emaciated fowl, as‘ likely as not one handles a bird that has been deprived of the necessary aid to digestion in the form of sharp grit. _ ; Many poultry-keepers imagine very erngly that fowls can find for them solves all the grit they require, espe- cially if the birds are running at large an by-ways, upon runs composed of ashes, or where there are shallow streams with gravolly bottoms. But road grit is generally too small for the fowls' requirements; ashes are too soft to be classed as grinding mater lal, while the small round pebbles picked up out of the beds of shallow streams are too smooth to perform the Work or grinding properly. While ashes are of little use as it grinding agent they are excellent for the fowls- to scratch about in, contain- ing as they do a certain amount of lime, which provides the laying hens with material wherewith to shell their eggs. Kind of Grit Needed It is impossible to keep fowlsâ€"and by fowls I mean all classes of domesti- cated poultryâ€"in a healthy condition and in profitable lay for any length of time unless they are provided with grit of a suitable nature both as an aid to digestion and in shelling their eggs. and for this purpose good flint grit must be chosen. ' Many kinds of grit, good, bad and indifferent, are advertised for sale among poultry-keepers. Many sam- ples‘ are too large for the ordinary. sized fowls, some are too small, and others are composed of the wrong ma- terials. ' . The grit intended for ordinary- sized fowls should not'be larger than small peas, and those for turkeys not larger than good sized peas, while for bantams they should equal split-peas or-lentils in size. Chicken grits in- tended for birds up to a month old should resemble in size linseeds or millet seeds. 4 ‘ Forms Egg Shells In addition to the sharp flint-grit so essential for digestion or foodstuffs, 'laying hens require grit of a limey nature, such as old mortar or crushed oyster shells, or they will be unable to properly shell their eggs. It is true that the foods fed to towls con- tains lime salts but in far too small a quantity to provide for the needs of a. laying hen, and unless the balance can be made up from other sources the bird is liable to produce thin- shelled or shell-less eggs. I Shell-less eggs, when accidentally broken, offer a tempting meal to any fowls that see them. and such fowls are apt to acquire the egg-eating habit. Lime in some form should therefore be kept within easy reach of laying 'fowls, so that they can partake of it as nature demands; Crushed oyster shells form the best kind of shell-mak- ing material, and as they can gener ally be got for the asking from oyster sellers, they should be secured where possible, and turned to good account for the towls. YOUNG POULTRY Keep Reducing the Stock as Much as - Possible By all means keep reducing the young stock as much as possible. All the cockerels- that show no signs of quality kill off, as they need a lot of food to keep up to. the standard, and at the present time, when food is so dear, it does not pay to feed birds that are only of killing value. Separ- ate if possible the wasters, and then force for three weeks, which will add flesh and weight and greatly increase the price. If breeding for exhibition, and only the best are needed, do not " be afraid to clear out the useless pul- lets. It is against the wishes of many breeders to sell or kill any that may lay eggs, but unless the range is un~ limited the crowding of the ground by poor stock is fatal from the first. That man is most successful who goes through his birds carefully, selects those required for show, and then clears the rest off at once. The small breeder has had a bad season, for. wet weather plays ihavoc with small no that are uncovered, and the foul , matter produced soon breeds disease. Few and good is better than many at moderate “3119’: .. . u..- u .._.._A.-- A PlaLs‘rsA'Lme lTEM .Magistrate: “You admit that you stole the pig?” Prisoner: “l 'ave to." Magistrate: “Very well then.
