Rural Recipes. 
Entire Wheat Gems—A friend in New 
Jersey sends this tested recipe: Three 
cupfuls entire wheat flour or wheat 
meal, two cupfuls cold water, half cup¬ 
ful of milk. Heat gem pans very hot 
on the top of the stove. All them even 
full of the batter, place on the grate of 
a very hot oven. Let them remain 10 
minutes on the grate, then bake 30 min¬ 
utes on the bottom of the oven. They 
are nearly as good if 2 V 2 cupfuls of 
water and no milk is used. Do not use 
any salt, or they will not be so light. 
Bread Cake.—One cupful bread sponge, 
one cupful sugar, one-half cupful butter, 
one egg, three tablespoonfuls of sweet 
milk, one-half teaspoonful soda dis¬ 
solved in a little warm water, one cup¬ 
ful of flour, one cupful of seeded raisins, 
spice to the taste. Stir all well together 
with a spoon and raise it. It will al¬ 
ways rise some after being put in the 
Storiettes. 
The Widow’s Farm 
She was on the witness stand in her 
own behalf, being also defendant in the 
action. She was a sturdy widow, hard¬ 
working, shrewd in a deal and garrul¬ 
ous. A landlord was suing for back rent 
on a little farm she had aoandoned. 
“You say tnat the land was hard and 
sour and sterile?” suggested the attor¬ 
ney for the plaintiff. 
“That’s what I said, only I wasn’t so 
persniffity about it, and I’ll say more—” 
“Just a moment, please. We want evi¬ 
dence, not opinions. Did you raise any¬ 
thing on this land of ours?” 
“Land of ours?” with a sniff. “You 
never owned a thimbleful of it. Yes, 1 
did raise things on it. It took two hills 
to raise a bean and a whole row of corn 
to raise a nubbin. I raised a cabin, I 
raised a pigpen, and I tried to raise a 
goat, but it starved to death, poor thing.

oven. 
Potato Salad.—Chop cold boiled pota¬ 
toes with one raw onion to season. For 
the salad dressing, put on stove a sauce 
pan with one pint of vinegar and butter 
the size of an egg. Beat tAvo or three 
eggs with two tablespoonfuls of mustard 
and a small teaspoonful of salt, and one 
of black pepper, two tablespoonfuls of 
sugar. When thoroughly beaten pour 
slowly into the vinegar until it thickens. 
Be careful not to cook too long, or the 
egg will curdle. Remove and when cold 
pour over the salad. It improves this to 
add the yolks of two or three hard 
boiled eggs mashed flne and beaten in 
with the mustard, or add a cupful of 
cream. This will keep several days in 
a cool place if desired. 
A Cheap Cake.—One cupful sugar, 
one-half cupful sweet milk, two or three 
tablespoonfuls of sour milk, one table¬ 
spoonful of butter, one egg, one heap¬ 
ing teaspoonful of baking powder stirred 
and sifted into the flour. Stir rather 
stiff. This will make a three-tin jelly 
cake, or is good baked in a cake dish al¬ 
together. 
Oatmeal Cookies.—Three cupfuls of 
oatmeal, sifted, three cupfuls of flour, 
one cupful of sugar, one cupful of lard, 
one cupful of hot water, one teaspoonful 
of soda; roll thin and bake quickly. Sift 
flour, mix it and oatmeal together, work 
in the lard, add sugar, dissolve soda in 
the water, and pour into the mixture. 
Dried-Apple Fruit Cake.—This is an 
excellent cake for children, and less ex¬ 
pensive than the regular fruit cake. Soak 
three cupfuls of dried apples over night 
in cold water enough to allow them to 
swell. Chop flne in the morning and put 
on the fire with three cupfuls of mo¬ 
lasses. Stew until almost soft; add one 
cupful of raisins and stew a few mo¬ 
ments longer. When cold add three cup¬ 
fuls of flour, one cupful of butter, thi’ee 
eggs well beaten, one teaspoonful of soda 
and use whatever spices are desired. 
Bake in two loaves in a steady oven. 
Frozen Biscuits.—We have not tested 
this recipe, but are assured that the bis¬ 
cuits are light, flaky and delicious. 
Scald one pint of flour with one pint 
of boiling, strained potato water; stir 
in half a cupful of butter or sweet lard, 
one teaspoonful of salt and two table¬ 
spoonfuls of sugar. When it is cool add 
one-half a cake of compressed yeast 
(dissolved in a little water) and the re¬ 
maining pint of flour. Let it rise over 
night. In the morning knead into a 
smooth mound and let it rise light. 
Place the pan inside a large dishpan; 
cover it with another dishpan and bury 
it completely in snow. An hour before 
luncheon uncover it, bring the frozen 
bread dough into a warm room; pound 
and roll it into a thick layer, cut into 
biscuits, place them in a buttered bak¬ 
ing tin. Remove the top from the tea¬ 
kettle, set the tin over the steam and 
let them stand until the biscuits rise 
into very light puffs. Bake in a quick 
oven and serve warm in a folded nap¬ 
kin. 
MOTHERS.—Besure to use “Mrs.Wins¬ 
low’s Soothing Syrup” for your children 
while Teething. It is the Best.— Adv. 
That ground wouldn’t raise dog fennel 
or even Canada thistles.” 
“Don’t exaggerate, please. You say 
the soil was sour?” 
“I couldn’t exaggerate about that 
ground if I was a lawyer. In the morn¬ 
ing, when the dew was steamin’ off in 
the sunshine, you’d think you was livin’ 
next door to a pickle factory. I kept 
my sugar in an air-tight jar.” 
“Pshaw! That’s ridiculous. I suppose 
the ground was so hard you couldn’t 
blast it.” 
“Nuthin’ of the kind. I’m here to tell 
the truth. But I’ll tell you how hard 
that ground was. I had to crop my set 
onions out with a hatchet, and a big 
gander I bought broke his neck tryin’ to 
pull a tuft of spear grass.” The land¬ 
lord did not recover.—Detroit Free 
Press. 
A Literal Application. 
A couple of tourists who were jour¬ 
neying on horseback in the rural dis¬ 
trict of the South had ridden many miles 
when they came to a small log cabin, 
out of which children of all sizes and 
ages came swarming like bees from a 
hive. The tourists were tired and ra¬ 
venously hungry. Hailing an old negro 
at the cabin gate they told him that they 
had come to take dinner with him. “Yo’ 
is welcum, gemmen!” he said. “I ain’t 
got much ter eat, but I’ll do the ve’y 
bes’ I kin fo’ yo’, gemmen.” Then, rais¬ 
ing his voice to a shrill yell, he said: 
“Hi yo, Judas Iscariot, yo’ run catch a 
chicken fas’ ez yo’ laigs kin carry yo’.” 
“What do you call that boy?” asked one 
of the tourists. “Judas Iscariot, sah.” 
“What did you ever give him such a 
name as that for?” “Dat’s a Bible name, 
sah, an’ it has a meanin’. All de Bible 
names has a meanin’, sah. Ise got fo’- 
teen, en dey’s all got Bible names, case 
de .Bible names has a meanin’, sah.” 
“What is the meaning of Judas Is¬ 
cariot?” The old man was very reticent 
about giving further information, and it 
required a good deal of persuasion before 
he finally said: “Well, I’ll tell yo’, sah. 
Hit’s like dis. Yo’ see I’d had fo’-teen 
chillun befo’ Judas Iscariot was bawn, 
an’ fo’teen chillun is a mighty big fam’ly 
fo’ a po’ man ter raise en keer fo’, ’thout 
habin’ no mo’, so when Judas Iscariot 
came erlong, I gib ’im dat name, caze 
you know de Bible hit say it’d be bettah 
fo’ Judas Iscariot if he’d nebbah been 
bawn.”—Detroit Free Press.
