womans world by mair m morsan science of baking modern inventions have made an exact science of baking and tiere is little reason for failure with even a delicate custard ever stove manu facturer realizes the importance of de pendable oven structure and builds his range on scientific principles the oven of today has its regula tor which automatically controls the flow of gas oil or electricity it is almost impossible to main tain consistent results in baking with out the use of an oven thermometer of some sort it yovr oven hasnt a regulator but a thermometer it will pay for itself many times over of course a knowledge of the heat requirements demanded in the cook ing of each type of food is essential women who learned from experience that 12 corncobs would do the trick for a cake and that 2 maple sticks would keep the oven hot enough for a pio were the pioneers of the heat regulated oven and worked out for themselves what the manufacturer does for the present day homemaker starting cakes off cakes require entirely different oven manipulation the oven tempera- turo should he low when the cake is put in and gradually increased until the required temperature is reached to complete the baking three hun dred and fifty to 375 degrees fahren- height are good temperatures for most butter cakes an important point regarding cake baking is the position of the pan n the oven the loaf cake should be placed in tho centre of the oven so that tho distribution of the heat may be even top bottom and sides layer cakes because they bake more quickly are less apt to rise unevenly crisp cookies should be baked in a hot oven molasses cookies which burn easily require a cool oven of not more than 350 degrees fahren heit cakes with fruit in them require a moderate oven hut they must be thor oughly baked because this type of cake improves as it stands after bak ing prune honey cake will stay fresh for a full week but it must be thor oughly baked in the beginning pure honey

takes care of itself but in large kitchens it requires some study and experience to know just where it is best for a certain object to stand housekeepers thero are who place the woodhox at the end of the stove farthest from the firebox five or six steps must be taken to replenish the fire when if the box stood at the other end the wood could be placed in the stove without a single step then there are other housekeepers who bend over a stove sink or table that is too low for their height the stove can he built upon blocks till it is toe right height and a way should be devised to make the table height satisfactory it is a more difficult matter to remedy a low sink hut here one can put the dish- pan on a table and wash the dishes there in order to prevent backache do anything to avoid bending the back at an angle keep a high stool in the kitchen for it is possible to do much more work while sitting down than one would believe who had not tried it another most convenient article for the kitchen is a box or bench on which the mopping pail may be placed when mapping the floor or washing paint this bench saves one bending to the floor each time the mop must he wrung out as it is this stooping which makes tho work so very tire some i am well aware however that many women even in these enlight ened days do not mop hut do all their floors on their knees they thus spend an hour when the floor could be done in half the time but as they would rather die than change their old fash ioned methods nothing can be done about it tho bench used when mop ping can also be placed in the yard to elevate the clothes basket when hanging out the wash this will save the trouble of stooping to the ground each time to get a clean piece of linen a convenience when one is cooking is a wooden cleat nailed to the wall just above the cooking tahle a strip of elastic may he adjusted to hold the cook book open and hero may hang all the implements used in the pro cess of preparing various articles of food right within easy reach of the hand of the cook ahove tiie cleat a closet containing spices salt baking powder and other things used in cooking is a convenience no chance of receiving a cold

and be useful around the house even if they are never i obliged to do work like this it is just as well for them to know how to do it writes louise lake in the mar itime farmer there are times when the mother may be sick and unable to do these things and the income not large enough to hire help in cases like this the boys can do the work vcrv nicely especially if there- are no girls in the family old enough to take responsibility and there are often times after they have grown to be young men that these home teachings are very useful to them the lumbermen who have large i numbers of men
