iK Thursday, January 30, 1913.] THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Page Three tempted to steal what he would like to have. Possessions mean power, and thrift is preparation for peacer. He cannot take care of his own things unless he has a place for them which is his I own. That is one of the rea sons why a boy should have a room, and a trunk, and the equipment with which he can take care of his things. That is not the only reason he should have a separate room, but that is enough. What has been said about all of this applies especially to his money. As he is expected to make monej and possess it, and use it in the future, he must begin as a boy, and learn to do it in the right way, so as to avoid the wrong way later. The very same principles that he is to observe then are to be acted upon now, both be cause they are right and because he will not act upon them as a man, un less he learn to act on them now. How is a boy to get money? That is a matter of far-reaching importance. He may properly get it in two ways —receive it as a gift and earn it. Both ways are necessary. It should come in the form of an allowance, given freely and regularly. If he has to tease and beg for it, he gets no training, finds no law of cause and effect and of parental forethought, gaining no sentiment of partnership with parents. If it does not come regularly, in a dependable way, he may be tempted to get it in a way that is not honest. His conscience does not awake as early as his de sire for possessions. There may be objections to the al lowance, as there are objections to every way of doing anything. There is the danger that he will come to think of it as his, by right, and not a gift: and he m.-y grow up to lack appreciation of what is done for him. But there are always dangers in good things, and it is not impossible to safeguard him. But as to the allowance. It must be given in such a way as to keep him responsible to his parents. As it comes regularly it cultivates in him order and system. A pocket-book, to keep it in, ministers to his pleasure, makes him orderly, and enables him to save it more easily. An account book to set down receipts and expen ditures in, trains him in the virtue of accuracy. Reports to his father each week keep alive the sense of respon sibility to authority, even for his own things. Requiring him to save a part of each week’s allowance enables him to accumulate something for himself. —Home Magazine. COOKERY lONKS. When using stale bread for pud dings, etc., always soak it in a cold liquid. Bread that has been soaked in cold milk or water is light and crumbly, while that soaked in hot liquid is heavy. Rice will absorb about three times its own measure of water in cooking, and rather more of milk. Water in which rice is boiled, if not all absorbed by the rice, should be saved for adding to a cream soup. A cupful^ of boiled rice left over may be added to the breakfast muf fins or waffles, making them lighter, more palatable and digestible. Or it may be used for a rice-pie. One ounce of butter and one-half ounce of flour will thicken one cup ful of liquid in making sauces. Allow two level teaspoonfuls of baking-powder to each cupful of flour when no eggs are used in the bak ing. One level teaspoonful of salt will season a quart of soup, sauce or vege tables. flavoring extract for a quart of any mixture to be frozen. One tea spoonful of extract will flavor a quart of custard or pudding. Four eggs should be allowed for each quart of milk in making cup custards, and from four to six eggs to a quart of milk for custards to be turned from the mold. To keep lettuce crisp, place the roots in cold water, but do not allow the leaves to rest in it. When ready to serve, wash it in cold water and drop it into another pan of ice-water. Shake the water from the leaves be fore serving. Whites of eggs should be very cold and beaten in a cool place if a stiff froth is desired. T osave the yolkes of eggs, when the whites only are used, drop the yolks into a tumbler of cold water, set in a cold place, and they wdll keep fresh for several days. If half a lemon is left over, place it on a plate and turn a tumbler over ■t, it will keep fresh much longer han if exposed to the air. Fresh lemons if laid on a paper on 1, shelf with a tumbler turned over -ach one, will keep fresh for weeks. A wire dish-drainer placed on top f the stove makes a fine bread-toast- r. The bread will toast quickly with- ut burning. Home-Made Steamer.—For those ho have no steamer, and who wish 1 make the steamed puddings which e generally relished more during he winter months, the following 'iggestion will prove helpful. Have wo agate pails, one of them a little ’rger than the other. Put your pud- ling in the smaller pail, and cover Ightly. Set this in the larger pail, vith an old saucer underneath, to al ow the water free play when boiling, '’ut a thick cloth over the larger -•ail, then add the cover, and set a Tat-iron on top. You will thus keep n the steam and prevent the pud- iing from falling. Put in sufficient water, so you will not have to dis- •^urb it for a couple of hours (about one-third full will do), then add wa ter as needed. Follow out these di rections carefully, and your pudding will be a success. FOR Several hundred bushels Clay Peas, $1.80 per bushel or if car jots, $1 75 F. 0. B. Memphis.
