Hot Bed Sash 
my job. No one could heat me at it. So 
I discarded my husk mat, put a yellow 
bowl between my knees and worked the 
egg beater until those eggs were long past 
the conditions under which they could de¬ 
velop into chickens. It was considered a 
port of the beater’s perquisites to lick off 
the beater at the end of the job. but as 
my aunt washed off the beater first what 
came to me could hardly be considered as 
“graft.” These beaten eggs and a lump 
of butter weut into the potato aud fish, 
thoroughly mixed, until the whole mass 
had a deep yellow tint.' Then the fish 
balls were ready for frying, and the dish 
was put on the back of the stove while 
the Indian pudding received attention. 
We left that fragrant mess of cornmeal. 
butter and molasses at the back of the 
stove. The quart of milk in the little 
kettle was boiling hot by this time, and 
this was poured iuto the meal mixture. 
The whole thing was poured into a but¬ 
tered baking dish and put into the oven. 
From time to time my aunt stirred it 
slowly so that all the cornmeal would be 
fully cooked. Finally she let it alone so 
that the pudding would brown on top! 
The hands on the kitchen clock were 
creeping around toward noon when the 
final act started. I threw a few dry chips 
in the stove and my aunt brought out the 
frying pan. You must have a hot fire in 
order to make true angel food out ot' cod¬ 
fish. Some men. but not all, I fear, are 
turned into angels by passing through the 
fire. My aunt put a little homemade lard 
in the frying pan. Then she took a piece 
of pork and with a razor-like knife cut it 
into little cubes. These were put in the 
pan, where they jumped and sputtered 
and sizzled as they browned—music 
which seemed like a symphony to the 
soul of a hungry boy, and a force pump 
to the salivary glands near his mouth. 
My aunt washed her hands at the sink 
and patted out little cakes or balls of 
that fish mixture and dropped them into 
that sputtering fat in the frying pan. 
Some people cook these balls in boiling 
fat, as they handle doughnuts, but give 
me the frying pan product. When one 
side of a ball was crisp and brown it was 
flipped over like a flapjack and browned 
on the other side. The art of it all con¬ 
sists iu patting out a thin cake or ball 
so it will take on a thick brown crust 
and be cooked all through. At the res¬ 
taurants they bring you a great mass 
nearly two inches thick. Who can eat 
such stuff? Surely not a discriminating 
angel. A dinner like this one was worthy 
of the best, so we put on the red table¬ 
cloth and took the silver out of the trunk. 
The coffee pot was filled with water and 
a handful of dried carrots roasted iu the 
oven was thrown in for body and a spoon¬ 
ful pf coffee for flavor. It was not sur¬ 
prising that my aunt went into the bed¬ 
room and brushed her gray hair and gave 
a new twist to the side curls which hung 
over her ears. She even picked out the 
new lace collar and pinned it on her 
dress. My uncle donned his new dressing 
gown and put on his slippers. As for me, 
I scrubbed my face until it shone like a 
polished apple, for I want you to know 
that your city people are not. the only 
ones who “dress for dinner.” 
❖ ❖ ❖ # # 
Dinner’s ready,” said my aunt, and 
who shall say we were not ready for it? 
The fish balls were brown and hot, the 
crisp cubes of pork answered for butter, 
and there never was such an Indian pud¬ 
ding. There was a good-sized mass of 
“whey” at the bottom of the dish—a 
sure evidence of quality. So we drew up 
to the table in that lonely little farm¬ 
house and partook of genuine angel food. 
It had been a gray, cheerless forenoon, 
mt as we sat at dinner the sun broke 
through for a moment and a long splin¬ 
ter of sunshine fell on my uncle’s bald 
lead as he stood by his chair and said 
grace. I had all the fish balls I could eat, 
and, what is more, a cup of carrot coffee. 
What more could a boy ask for? I’ll 
challenge any $50,000 a year chef to 
match that dinner. h. w. c.

Treatment of Orchard in Sod 
We have an old orchard on moderate 
sloping li ill side which we have always 
kept in sod, and a pretty good crop of 
good hay is cut each year. One reason 
for not cultivating is the fear that heavy 
rains would wash out the soil, which is a 
good loam on clay subsoil. The orchard 
produces fairly good crops of fruit, mostly 
Baldwin apples. I)o you think some spe¬ 
cial fertilizer would improve these old 
trees, and some four and five-year-old 
trees filling in spaces? Can use be made 
of hen manure or wood ashes? j. l. 
Yes, some good fertilizer would help 
this orchard. You cannot expect to keep 
up its crop and take out the hay. In a 
hillside orchard of this sort it often pays 
to plow about three furrows on each side 
of the tree rows and cultivate this 
plowed strip several times during the 
Summer. This will help the trees, and 
the sod left in the middle will hold back 
the water. Any of the standard brands 
of fertilizer would help, or you can use 
one part, by weight, of nitrate of soda, 
three parts of acid phosphate and one 
part muriate of potash. We do not ad¬ 
vise mixing hen manure and wood ashes. ! 
We should use the ashes by themselves, 
and make a mixture of 10 parts fine j 
chicken manure aud four parts acid phos- ! 
phate. j
