What We Eat ill Ohio. 
Our Winter bill of fare is quite varied. 
Some of us drink a cupful of hot water 
before breakfast. This morning we had 
flakes and oatmeal with milk, some of us 
preferring the former,- some the latter 
cereal. Fried sausage and buckwheat 
cakes with syrup came next, with white 
bread and butter, for some of us do not 
eat buckwheat. Apple butter, crackers 
4912 Double Breasted Coat, 
32 to 40 bust. 
and coffee completed our bill of fare. Only 
two of us care for coffee. We have white 
puddings instead of meat for breakfast 
half of the time during January and Feb¬ 
ruary, and sometimes boiled eggs instead 
of cakes. In fact, we do not have cakes 
oftener than three times a week. 
Roast chicken for dinner with sage 
stuffing and gravy, currant jelly, mashed 
potatoes, boiled onions, cold slaw, mince 
pie, Swiss cheese, nuts and cider, tea, 
coffee and hot water to suit our individual 
wants. A friend in Texas sends us a 
bushel of pecans every Winter and we en¬ 
joy them most as an after-dinner dessert. 
Our cider we keep sweet by putting a 
pound of mustard seed in the barrel. We 
very often have baked squash or squash 
pie for dinner, old 1904 having been a big 
squash year with us. We find the Deli¬ 
cious sweeter and finer than the Hubbard. 
For supper we had head cheese, potato 
patties, white and brown bread and but¬ 
ter, currant jelly, apple butter and Satsu- 
ma plum sauce, oatmeal cookies, crackers 
and coffee. Our suppers are usually light 
and early, from half-past four to five 
o’clock being our supper time the year 
round. Nearly all of us like bacon and 
cornbread for dinner, cornmeal mush with 
a howl of milk for supper, and fried mush 
for breakfast, so you see we are very fond 
of corn. Our roasting ear season lasts 
from July till the middle of October. 
Our fruit cupboard is well supplied with 
raspberries; raspberries and currants 
canned together; currant sauce for cold 
meats ; gooseberries ; blackberries ; Duchess 
and Bartlett pears canned together; 
Duchess alone and also with ginger root; 
Salway peaches, plain and spiced; Abun¬ 
dance plums plain and spiced; Isabella 
grapes; crab apple marmalade; quinces; 
apple butter; tomatoes and beans; cucum¬ 
ber and tomato catsup; pickles and chow 
chow; currant jelly; currant and rasp¬ 
berry mixed; crab apple and plum mixed; 
crab apple alone, and quince; blackberry 
wine and boiled cider; dried apples and 
dried peaches. I think most of our neigh¬ 
bors are equally well supplied. We have 
had Catawba grapes on the table almost 
constantly since October. We keep them 
in half-filled half-bushel baskets as cold 
as possible without freezing, and they are 
fine for about two months. When we have 
to put them in the cellar they begin to 
wilt and mold. We are fruit growers here, 
and fruit eaters. 
White Puddings.—Take three or four 
pounds of fresh suet, chop and crumble 
up fine by hand—a machine cutter will 
tnajs£ it greasy— then to every pint of suet 
add and a half pint of sifted flour, 
one teaspoonful of salt and half a tea¬ 
spoonful of pepper. For the full recipe 
you will require a cupful of salt and half 
a cupful of black pepper. Have ready 
muslin hags 10 x 2/ inches, scald them 
and fill within two inches of the top. l ie 
securely with string and plunge into boil¬ 
ing water, letting them boil three hours; 
then hang the puddings up in a cool place. 
When wanted for breakfast put one or 
r 
two into boiling water and cook half an 
hour, then lift out, untie the string and 
slip the pudding into a frying pan and 
set in the oven for 10 minutes, or until 
it is dry and crisp. Serve piping hot.

The Rural Patterns. 
Whatever styles may come and go, the 
coat that combines a fitted back with dou¬ 
ble-breasted box fronts is always in de¬ 
mand. This one is finished at the neck 
in regulation coat style, and includes 
sle'evcs of the very latest cut with roll¬ 
over cuffs. As illustrated the material is 
black cheviot stitched with silk and fin¬ 
ished with a collar of black velvet, hut any 
cloaking material is appropriate and' when 
liked the coat can be made longer, as 
shown in the small cut. The coat is made 
with fronts, backs, side-backs and under¬ 
arm gores, the fronts being faced to form 
the lapels. The sleeves are full at the 
shoulders, narrower at the wrists, where 
they arc finished with cuffs. The quantity 
of material required for the medium size 
is 5 yards 27, 2 A yards 44 or 2% yards 52 
inches wide, with -A yard of velvet. The 
pattern 4912 is cut in sizes for a M2, 34, 36, 
38 and 40 inch bust measure; price 10 
cents from this office. 
Russian dresses still retain their vogue 
for little girls. The model illustrated is 
made of dark red cashmere with bands of 
red taffeta stitched with silk, yoke and 
cuffs of cream lace, but all materials that 
are in vogue for dresses of the sort arc 
appropriate, and the yoke and cuffs can 
be of any all-over material that may be 
preferred. Tucked silk is always pretty 
and serviceable. The dress consists of the 
yoke, fronts and hack, both the latter be- 
4913 Girl’s Russian Dress, 4 to 10 yrs. 
ing laid up in pleats for their entire length 
and attached to the yoke and the band

full, gathered at both upper and lower 
edges and finished with straight cuffs. The 
quantity of material required for the me¬ 
dium size (.8 yards) is 4J^ yards 27, 4Rj

TALKING 
NOW 
Over My Own 
Telephone 
Every farmer should have his 
own telephone. If heisnot near 
a telephone line he can interest 
his neighbors and build aline. 
It doesn't cost much, and the 
advantages are beyond esti mat 
ing. The extra profit on one 
year’s crop, sold at the right 
time, will more than pay his 
share. A telephone enables him 
to get the market reports every 
day—get every market advantage.
