The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Think of the comfort, the pleasure, the healthfulness of getting 
up in a warm, cozy house on a February morning ! And the wife 
and children living all day in a home that is really heated through¬ 
out, the same pleasing temperature in every room ! 
And then think of enjoying this great advantage without hav¬ 
ing to bother with mussy, dirty and dangerous stoves that may 
bake you if you stand near them but which don’t heat a whole 
room evenly—or the next room. 
You owe yourself and family the many comforts and con¬ 
veniences that come with having your home heated with an Inter¬ 
national Onepipe Heater. 
Here is a heater so far superior to heating by stoves'that once 
installed in your home, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get it long ago. 
It is very easy and simple to install and is as good for an old 
home as a new. It heats the whole house, upstairs and downstairs 
all from one big pipe leading up from the cellar through a special 
register in the floor. It can be installed in a couple 
of hours! Uses hard coal, soft coal or wood. 
The International Onepipe is strictly a quality 
heater. It is scientifically designed to produce the 
greatest heat at least cost of fuel and attention. ! 
Because of its triple inner casing it absolutely keeps 
the cellar cool. The heat goes where you need it. 1

Oh, the Joy of 
lower clamp, and Mason top jars are 
closed tightly first and then turned back 
a little to loosen. I then put jars into 
the water bath, having the water about 
as warm as the contents of the jar. 
I use the individual wire jar holders 
with handles, and have two 20-lb. lard 
pails that will hold four pint or quart 
jars. Have water come within an inch 
of the rubbers, and put on tight cover 
on pails. Boil one hour and remove from 
water. Tighten covers and set aside to 
cool. I have never lost a jar yet. Some¬ 
times I brown the meat in butter before 
boiling it. to give a different flavor. I 
use it cold, warm it in its own gravy, 
make stews of it and also hash and cro¬ 
quettes. When I cook a chicken (stew 
it or fricassee), I take what I do not 
use for the first meal and pack the meat 
in cans, putting the gravy over it, some¬ 
times thickened as for the table, and 
process it for future use, which often 
comes in handy for a hurry-up meal. 
When I cook dried Lima beans or red 
kidney beans, I cook more than for one 
meal, and can the surplus for a time 
when I am too busy to fuss with a small 
amount of them. Cook just as for the 
table and can and boil about an hour as 
for the meat. Soups and stews are pre¬ 
pared as for the table and canned the 
same way. I like to cook the meats be¬ 
fore they are put in can, as the flavor is 
better. mrs. f. a. s.

with brown or maple sugar sauce. 
Apple Potpie.—Have plenty of light 
biscuit dough made. In the bottom of a pau 
or kettle lay strips of salt pork in. 
apart. On these place a layer of apples 
(quartered) an inch thick, sprinkling with 
sugar and cinnamon. Cover the layer of 
apples with strips of biscuit dough laid 
crosswise % in. apart. Then add another 
layer of apples, more strips of dough, 
etc., finishing with the biscuit dough (or 
strips) on top. Steam I 14 hours. De¬ 
licious served with whipped cream. Add 
a little boiling water to the above if the 
apples are too dry. None is needed in 
the pressure cooker. May be cooked 30 
minutes at 10 lbs. pressure. Apple cob¬ 
bler may also be steamed. 
Steamed Dumplings.—One cup butter¬ 
milk, one-half teaspoon (good measure) 
soda, two teaspoons baking powder, one- 
half teaspoon salt, two cups flour. Put in 
buttered pan and steam one hour, or cook 
30 minutes at 10 lbs. pressure. Have 
your soup or gravy seasoned, or fruit 
already sweetened. Pick out with a fork 
your dumplings into a dish and pour the 
soup, gravy or sauce over them. A good 
pudding is made the same way, stirring 
in one cup dried fruit or berries. Serve 
with cream aud sugar or pudding sauce. 
Brown Sugar Sauce.—One-fourth cup 
brown sugar, two tablespoons flour, one- 
eighth teaspoon salt, one tablespoon but¬ 
ter, three-fourths cup hot water. Mix 
sugar, flour and salt. Add hot water 
slowly, stirring until it boils and boiling 
two minutes. Add butter. Serve hot. 
Foamy Sauce.—Cream one-half cup 
butter and one cup powdered sugar, add 
one teaspoon vanilla. Just before serving 
stir in one cup boiling water. Add the 
stiffly beaten white of one egg and beat 
till foamy. Very good. 
Hard Sauce.—Cream one-third cup but¬ 
ter till very light, adding very slowly one 
cup powdered sugar and heating till light 
and creamy. Add one-half teaspoon flav¬ 
oring extract or one-fourth teaspoon nut¬ 
meg, and beat again. 
Vanilla or Lemon Sauce.—Mix one-half 
cup sugar and two level teaspoons of 
cornstarch, add one cup water and boil 
five minutes. Remove from the fire and 
add one or two tablespoons of butter and 
one teaspoon vanilla or lemon extract. 
For a thinner sauce use one tablespoon 
cornstarch in this rule. 
February 9, 1924 
Creamy Sauce.—One quart milk, one- 
half cup sugar, one tablespoon of butter, 
three level tablespoons cornstarch (or 
about five of flour). Moisten cornstarch 
with milk. Heat the rest of the milk 
with sugar and butter. When near boil¬ 
ing stir in cornstarch. Cook three min¬ 
utes. Add vanilla or other flavoring. 
Rich, creamy milk is nicest. 
DAVIDA R. SMITH, 
Winter Notes 
After our long, -warm pleasant Au¬ 
tumn, Winter seemed to arrive in nine 
inches of snow December 28. Since then 
it has been wintry every day. Our last 
auto ride was December 24, unusually 
late for our hill country; other cars ran 
until December 29, and farmers plowed 
until December 10, and perhaps later. 
The hay was very light because of the 
dry weather, so we all appreciated the 
long Autumn for animals to pick their 
feed, but as many farmers cut wood or 
logs to sell they are now glad of snow. 
Do you ever catch fragments of con¬ 
versation not meant for you. but which 
you store away? I was looking about 
in a shop when I heard a pleasant voice 
say : 
“Do you dread this Winter?” 
“Why, no,” was the quick response. 
“I am glad to hear you say that, for 
you are the first person I have asked 
who hasn’t said ‘yes’.” 
“I have lived through a good many 
Winters,” came the calm clear voice; 
“after each was over I have said to my¬ 
self, ‘it was not as bad as I thought it 
would be’.” Isn’t that so with most of 
our mountains of trouble? 
I confess I do not read “Snow Bound” 
nor “The Famine” on our worst Winter 
days any more than I sing “The Rainy 
Day” when November rains are falling. 
But every Winter I read and re-read 
Jerome K. Jerome’s essay, “Evergreens.” 
After telling how out of place they look 
in various seasons, he tells us how “They 
alone of all the verdant host stand firm 
to front the cruel Winter. There are 
evergreen men and women in the world, 
praise be to God!” True, isn’t it? You 
know them, and so do I. 
The family, farm and friends make 
up the farm woman’s Winter world, and 
my heart goes out to those whose boys 
are not content to be home. I fear I can¬ 
not help with much advice; sometimes an 
understanding pastor can help both par¬ 
ents and child. But to those whose chil¬ 
dren are yet too small to want to leave 
home, let me say “Make your home the 
pleasantest place on earth for the chil¬ 
dren.” With an only child it is perhaps 
harder, but invite in their young friends, 
play games, have music, sing songs, eat 
apples and pop corn together. Perhaps 
I never thought how much music meant 
to the boys until the “Twenty Dollars 
for Christmas” request, when Fred said 
at once, “I would buy twenty dollars’ 
worth of records.” He was just playing 
his new ones, Emmett’s “Cuckoo Song” 
and “Hans, the Flute Player,” and it is 
surprising howtheir taste for -mod music 
develops; jazz, ragtime, catchy songs, 
once in a while, but the old and worth- 
whiles over and over. There is some¬ 
thing radically wrong when the boys feet 
keep still when listening to “Liberty 
Bell” or “Here They Come!” 
Another thing, are your rooms sun¬ 
shiny, happy-looking ones? Bits of bright 
color in your wall paper, some bright 
colors in your cushions and mats, help 
wonderfully. I know the rose color will 
fade in the paper and not “hold its own” 
as long as one of brown tones, but think 
of the difference to the young folks. Of 
course, indigo blue, and black and white 
in various mixtures do wash splendidly, 
but for one I am glad of the bright ging¬ 
hams and cretonnes. 
Among my gifts this Christmas is an 
apron of cream cretonne with pink roses 
and blue birds bright enough to drive the 
gloom from the darkest day this Winter 
But I pity any one who has to wash 
dishes before a blank wall. The early 
settlers were wise in this vicinity and in 
almost every house the sink and kitchen 
work-table are in front of the window. 
In our new kitchen the south window 
is a casement. I think that is why the 
men say it is the pleasantest room in the 
house. It is certainly the most compact 
room I ever saw to work in and will save 
me many miles of steps in time. 
For those who wish to market duck 
egro's let me say that they are favorites 
in hotels, boarding houses and bakeries, 
wherever many eggs are used in cooking. 
Just weigh a dozen duck eggs and a 
dozen hen’s eggs before your customers. 
The effect is usually immediate. 
In regard to identifying the flicker in 
flight, it is larger than a robin, its color 
seemingly a bright golden brown, with a 
white spot on its back at the base of its 
tail. 
Warts are often troublesome to some 
people. To such let me advise rubbin"- 
them with a bit of castor oil often and 
thev soon disappear. The same remedy 
applies to warts on cattle. Castor oil is 
one thing we always intend to keep in the 
house, and the first remedy we give when 
the children’s temperature begins to 
climb. The country doctor always has 
a hard enough Winter if we all try to 
keep well. It is a good idea to go to 
your family doctor and have a good talk 
with him and have him advise you about 
your family medicine closet. Get an anti¬ 
septic. and either buy or prepare steril¬ 
ized bandages of various widths, and 
store in a sterilized fruit jar. have
