POMINION PRUIT CONFERENCE The staff of the INDEPENDENT PRESENTATION TO LEUT, LIY INGSTON 4 â€"facturer in an Ontario city got the idea that he could inâ€" crease his father‘s business by advertising a few specialties to farmers. â€" His father thought otherwise, and would not put up the money to advertise. Then this ardent youth used $400 of his own money to try out his ideaâ€"and he won out so handâ€" somely that his father repaid bim his money and continued the advertising at his own exâ€" penose. This firm‘s business has greatly increased as the result of this adventure in advertising. If advert‘sing will do this for someone else, it will do the same for you.

English Muffinsâ€"Two cupfuls _ of flour, two teaspoonsful of sugar, oneâ€" half teaspoonful of salt, two eges, well beaten, and one cupful of milk. Mix all well together and bake in gem pans. This will make twelve muffins. When cakes stick to the pan.â€"No matter how careful one may be, a delicious cake is sometimes ruined when turning it from the pan. When the cake sticks set the pan on a cloth wrung out of warm water and leave for a few minutes. The cake will then turn out without any trouble. Obtain more juiceâ€"If a lemon _ is warmed before squeezing it, nearly double the quantity of juice will be obtained. I sponge the leaves of my palms once a week with milk and wate: and find that they do not develop the with ered brown spots which are so often seen on palms _ which are sponged with water only. If too much salt has been put by mistake into the soup, pot roast, _ or anything of the kind, a simple way to remove it is to tie a cloth over the top of the cooking utensil and cover this cloth with a quantity of ordinary flour. The steam rising from the soup or roast will cause the flour to draw out the salt. HINTS AND HELPS FOR LADIES Place one pint of bread crusts in a bow1! and at night strain in a pint of new milk, let stand _ overnight: and add to the mixture one wellâ€"beaten egg, one teaspoonful of baking powâ€" der and enough flour to make a thin batter; fry in small cakes on buttered griddle. % Carefully dry your celery tops and all leftâ€"over pieces and use them to flavor your soups and stews later on in the season when celery is more expensive than now.

Palframan, Queenston, will be if inâ€" terest to the Niagara steamers: Canada Steamship Lines, August 1, 1914. Dear Sir:â€"Since writing you on the 17th in respect to handling of shipâ€" ments for furtherance by Express Companies from Toronto, this matter has received further consideration and instructions have been issued to pursers of all steamers on the Niagara route, to forward to the agent at Toâ€" ronto by wireless telegraphy, partiâ€" culars of all shipments intended for delivery to the express companies. This information is now being prompt ly transmitted to the companies interâ€" ested and we have every reason to Election â€" |Cake.â€"Weigh _ oneâ€"half pound of sifted flour, rub into it five ounces of ‘butter, one cupful of sugar and half aa teaspoonful of salt. Scald two cupfuls of milk, and when lukeâ€" warm add two wellâ€"beaten eggs and one cake of compressed yeast, dissoly ed in a little of the milk. Make a hole in the centre of the flour, pour in the milk mixture, stir in enough _ of the flour to make a thin batter and _ let rise for three hours. Then beat in all the flour, add the juice and â€" grated rind of am orange half a _ nutmeg, grated and a little cinnamon. Pour into a wellâ€"greased pan and let rise till very light, when it shouldâ€" be baked for one hour in a moderate oven. Raised Wafflies.â€"The rule for mufâ€" fins will do equally well for waffles, if the batter is made thinmer. It should be of a consistency _ to pour from a pitcher onto ‘the waffle iron, which should be well heated and thor oughly greased. The same batter may be used for griddleâ€"cakes also. Raised Muffins.â€"Diissolve oneâ€"half cake of compressed yeast in a cupfifl of lukewarm milk or water, add half a teaspoonful of salt, one pint of luke warm milk or water, one tablespoonâ€" ful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls â€" of lard or butter, two eggs, well beaten and sifted flour enough to make _ a fairly stiff batter. Let it stand overâ€" night to rise and in the morning fill muffin pans half full and bake in _ a quick oven. iSouthern Tea Biscuits.â€"If you want these for supper at six they must be begun at one. Into a quart of sifted flour rwb a teaspoonful of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt and a tablespoonful each of lard and butter. Dissolve oneâ€"half cake of compressed yeast in a little warm water, add to a cupful of milk and mix well _ with the flour; cover, and set in a~ warm place to rise. When it is light turn it out on the bread board and roll out to the thickness of half an inch. Cut out into rounds, and put two together with melted butter between. Let them rise an hour and bake in a moderate oven. y PARTICULARS OF FRUIT SHIPâ€" MENTS BY WIRELESS yeast is the leavening power. Try one when you are doing the Saturday baking. Scorched lime is generally lumpy and transparent, hence the use of the proper amount of water for slacking and an after addition of waâ€" ter to bring it to a brush consistency. Factory Whitewash for interiors of all kinds is made as follows: (1) Sixty pounds or one bushel lime; slack with 15 gallons _ water; to have sufficient water. Too little water causes the lime to scorch and too much retards the slacking. At this time of the season, all poulâ€" trymen, farmers, stock raisers and in fact, everyone connected with the live stock branch, will need to white wash. The following washes are test ed, and have been proven to give high class results. Ordinary Whitewash.â€"This is made by slacking quicklime, 10 lbs to 2 gallons water. Place lime in pail and cover with water. Place old carpet over pail and allow to stand for an hour. Care must be exercised I can assure you and all other growâ€" ers in the Niagara District that the management of this company is preâ€" pared to do everything in its power to give you satisfactory service. I unâ€" derstood the movement of f ruit this season will be rather limited but by next year when you have a large crop we feel reasonably certain, by the time the fruit commences _ to move, that we will have in effect with one or more of the Express Companâ€" ies, through rates to all t he Eastern points and points north of Toronto as well, that will give the growers a deâ€" cided advantage in the distribution of their shipments. Yours truly, L. A. W. Doherty, Freight Traffic Manager. Mr. MacConnell, our agent, is now giving the handling of this express business his personal attention and under the new conditions, I think you will find everything satisfactory. feel assured that hereafter the exâ€" press companies will be on hand to take possession of these shipments immediately on arrival of the steamâ€" er. I am informed by our agent that the arrangement is now working out satisfactorily. If it were not for the assistance of the wireless telegraphy I could say most positively that the shipments forwarded in the 2 o‘clock boat, reaching here at 5 o‘clock, makâ€" ing conmnection with the express comâ€" panies the same evening, _ would be very uncertain. DOMINION FRUIT EXCHANGE, Limited R. J. GRAHAM, Pres, G. A. BOOTH, Mgr. K. G. CONGER, Sec.â€"Treas. We can handle 50,000 barrels of apples this season and bave storage for 20,000 barrels. Our market is as good as any in Canada. Don‘t wait to make up cars of early apples, but keep them coming as soon as they are ready. WHITE WASH FOR YARIOUS PURPOSES APPLES WANTED ON COMMISSION Shipping stamps supplied on application. Another old Time recipe for exterior wash is: Slack half a bushel of lime with boiling water, keeping it covered during the process. Strain and add half a peck of salt dissolved in warm water, 3 lbs of rice boiled toâ€" a thin paste, half a lb of powdered whiting and 1 lb of clear glue dissolved _ in hot water. Mix these together well and allow mixture to stand some few days before using. It should be apâ€" plied warm as possible to get good results and may have to be boiled in kettle. Put on as hot as possible. Exterior Whitewash, for outhoges, pig pens, fences and any place where a permanent whitewash not eqgily afâ€" fected by weather, is desired: (2) 2 lbs salt, 1 lb sulphate of zine and dissolve in 2 gallons boiling water. t (3) 2 gallons skimmed milk. Mix 2 and 3 together and add to No. 1. (3) 2% lbs common salt dissolved in 2 gallons water. Thoroughly mix Nos. 2 and 3, adding both to No. 1. This is a good wash, brushes on good and will not rub off. _ al (1) Slack 1 bushel lime with 12 gallons hot water. (2) Two and oneâ€"half pounds flour (rye preferred) beat up in half gallon cold water and add two galâ€" lons boiling water. Then mix. cover barrel till steam ceases to rise. Stir occasionally to prevent scorchâ€" ing. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1914
