Suggestions from Delaware. 
Oatmeal Cakes.—Two eggs, one table¬ 
spoonful butter, one-half cup sugar, two 
cups of oatmeal, one tablespoonful flour, 
one teaspoon vanilla, one tablespoon 
sweet milk, two teaspoons baking 
powder. Beat butter and sugar together, 
then add beaten eggs and milk; the flour 
with baking powder sifted in it, vanilla 
and oatmeal. Drop the dough from a tea¬ 
spoon (one-half a teaspoon of the mix¬ 
ture does for one cake). Drop quite a 
distance apart and bake in a moderate 
oven, not too fast. They are about as 
big as a silver dollar when done. These 
are dainty to serve with light puddings. 
Brown Pudding.—Take one egg, one- 
half cup of sugar, one-fourth cup of 
butter (or a piece size of a walnut), 
a small cup of flour, one-half teaspoon¬ 
ful soda, two tablespoonfuls of dark 
jam. Steam one and one-half hours. 
Serve with whipped cream or 
hard sauce. To make hard sauce 
requires' one tablespoonful of but¬ 
ter (let it be a little soft), one cup of 
icing sugar (or confectioners’ sugar), 
work the two together; if that amount 
of butter does not work up the sugar 
nicely, add one teaspoonful of cream and 
flavoring. You can add more butter and 
sugar if necessary. This pudding and 
sauce is really delicious. 
Cornstarch Pudding. — Three level 
tablespoon fuls of cornstarch, one-half 
cup of sugar, one cup of boiling water, 
juice of one lemon, or any flavoring de¬ 
sired; whites of four eggs beaten stiff 
and added last. Sauce for this pudding: 
two tablespoon fuls of sugar, yolks of 
four eggs, beat together, then add two 
cupfuls of sweet milk and boil as a cus¬ 
tard. 
Cocoanut Pudding.—Soak one cup of 
cocoanut in one quart of boiling milk 
one hour. Then let it boil up again, add 
the beaten yolks of three eggs and one 
cup of sugar. Bake in a slow oven as a 
custard. Whip the whites light and 
spread over the top. Return to oven 
and brown lightly. 
Oysters on Toast.—Toast and butter 
the bread, take sufficient oysters (with¬ 
out any liquor, just the dry oysters) to 
cover the bread, lay them on the slices 
of buttered toast, season with salt and 
pepper, and if you like little bits of but¬ 
ter. Put all into a very hot oven long 
enough, just till the edges of the oysters 
curl. Have ready a rich cream sauce, 
which pour over all and serve piping hot. 
This is a most appetizing and dainty 
dish. 
Recipe for keeping lamp burners clean. 
Five cents worth of prepared chalk, two 
cents worth of liquid ammonia, put into 
an eight ounce bottle, fill with soft water, 
shake well and apply to the burners once 
a week. Also one-half teaspoon of com¬ 
mon salt, put into the lamp; the oil will 
burn brighter and clearer. 
Salt dissolved in alcohol will take out 
grease spots. 
Moths dislike newspaper as much as 
the prepared tar paper. p. a. e. 
Olive Oil. 
The pure olive oil is useful in many 
Ways, and it would be a good thing for 
many people if they would cultivate 
a taste for it. It is fattening, and the 
doctors .say it is the very best preven¬ 
tive of gall stones if used freely by those 
who are subject to such attacks. If the 
oil is not relished in salad dressings, it 
will perhaps be found appetizing if used 
on cold slaw. Chop or shave the cab¬ 
bage fine and let each person fix it to 
suit the taste. It is delicious with oil, 
salt and vinegar, though some might 
prefer to substitute sugar for the salt. 
A slaw cutter is a great convenience, the 
kind I have seen being a small board 
with a knife set in it in such a way that 
the cabbage being drawn across it is 
shaved fine. 
Another use to which I put olive oil 
is in making camphorated oil. Put a 
little oil in a bottle and drop in all the 
gum camphor that it will dissolve. I 
usually put in more, as I like it as 
strong as possible and it does no harm if 
some of the gum settles to the bottom. 
This is much better than what I buy 
and it does not get gummy as does that 
made from cotton seed oil. s. b. r. 
The Rural Patterns. 
A simple little dress worn over bloom¬ 
ers is one of the later developments in 
small girls’ costumes, and can be rec-

4 to 10 years. 
ommended as highly practical. The 
bloomers are entirely separate and are 
designed to be buttoned to the under 
waist. They mean warmth and freedom 
and make most satisfactory garments. 
The dress is made simply with fronts 
and back and is closed invisibly at the 
left of the front. There is a belt slipped 
under straps at the underarm seams that 
confines the fullness at the waist line. 
The sleeves are gathered into straight 
bands whichever length is used. The 
bloomers are made simply with leg por¬ 
tions that are joined and finished with 
bands while the closing is made at the 
sides. The quantity of material required 
for the medium size (8 years), is 7J4 
yards 24, 5-)4 yards 32 or 4^4 yards 44 
inches wide with 3j4 yards of banding. 
The pattern 5861 is cut in sizes for girls 
of 4, 6, 8 and 10 years of age; price 10 
cents. 
The plain seven-gored skirt is one of 
the later favorites for young girls as 
well as for their elders. In the model 
it is made of Copenhagen blue broad¬ 
cloth simply stitched with silk and the 
several rows of stitching are especially 
to be commended, but it can be trimmed 
14 and 16 years. 
with straight bands or with braid ap¬ 
plied over some simple design, or it can 
be trimmed with banding of any sort 
that may be liked, The skirt is cut in 
seven gores and is laid in inverted plaits 
at the back. The quantity of material 
required for the sixteen year size is 6$4 
yards of 27, 4)4 yards 44 or 3)4 yards 
52 inches wide if material has figure or 
nap; 5)4 yards 27, 2)4 yards 44 or 2)4 
yards 52 inches wide if it has not. The 
pattern 5872 is cut in sizes for girls of 
14 and 16 years of age; price 10 cents.

Illustration Showing Mixed Farming Scene in 
WESTERN CANADA 
Some of the choicest lands for grain growing, stock raising 
and mixed farming »n the new districts of Saskatchewan and 
Alberta have recently been Opened for Settlement under the 
REVISED HOMESTEAD REGULATIONS 
Entry may now be made by proxy (on certain conditions), by 
the father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister ©f an in¬ 
tending homesteader. Thousands of homesteads of 160 acres 
each are thus now easily available in these grain-growing, 
stock-raising and mixed farming sections. 
There you will find healthful climate, good neighbors, 
churches for family worship, schools for your children, good 
laws, splendid crops and railroads convenient to market. 
Entry fee in eacn case is $10.00. For pamphlet “Last Best 
West,” particulars as to rates, routes, best time to go and where 
to locate, apply to

From Snow io 
Southern Sunshine 
to fertile lands in a matchless climate, 
where work may he carried on throughout 
the entire year, where pleasure and profit 
are derived from a location blessed by Na¬ 
ture with ideal conditions so necessary to 
the success of the farmer and grower. 
Are You Battling Against the Elements 
of a Frozen North? 
The stock of farmers in our territory are 
Still grazing on the hillsides. 
The fruit and vegetable growers in the 
famous Manatee section are now gathering 
and shipping their products to Northern 
markets, receiving the highest prices for 
same due to the season. 
WHY NOT MAKE A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION 
to give up the struggle for .existence in 
your snow-bound location and come where 
climatic conditions make life a pleasure the 
year ’round, where lands are equally as pro¬ 
ductive, prices as good if not bettor'for your 
crops, and no long winters of ice and snow 
to contend with. 
I.et 11 s show you how easily it can bo 
done. Don’t sacrifice your life any longer— 
others are now comfortably located with us 
and reaping the rewards of their move, who 
last year were shut in by the sleet and snow 
of the rigorous North. 
Our illustrated literature will help .von and give 
yon an idea of the excellent opportunities and con¬ 
ditions existing in the Six Southern States tra¬ 
versed by onr line of road. This will be sent freo 
upon request, together with the “Sea hoard Maga¬ 
zine,” which is prepared especially for the benefit 
of parties contemplating a change of location. 
A postal is all that is necessary.
