80ME GOOD OESSERT8
A good pie Is always a welcome des
sert and If one observes the kind of
pie usually In de
mand at most

apple pie takes
the lead. A good
pie must hare a
crust rich enough
to be tender and
flaky and baked
long enough to be thoroughly cooked.
The best cooks say that a pie should
bake (after the first few minutes In a
hot oven to bake the crust, then lu a
slow oven to cook the apples) usually
an hour. The filling of apple with a
Uttle sugar for sweetening is not suf
ficient to make a tasty pie. It needs
butter and plenty of It In small cubes
mixed with the apple and if the pie Is
made of very Juicy apples, a table
spoonful of flour will keep It from los
ing Its delicious juice. Such flavor, as
Is suited to the family, may be used ?
nutmeg, cinnamon, a dash of cloves
or a bit of grated lemon peel.' Then
after the pie is ready for the oven
bind it with two and one-half-inch
strip of thin muslin dipped Into cold
water; this Insures the pie from any
overflow of juice. This cloth should
be removed at once when the pie Is
taken from the oven.
Pineapple Jelly. ? Pomr two cupfuls
of boiling water over one-half capful
of sugar and add two tablespoonfuls
of gelatin soaked In twe tablespoon
fuls of cold water for five minutes;
then add one cupful of pineapple juice
drained from canned pineapple, and
three tablespoonfuls of lemon juice.
Strain. When the mixture begins to
thicken, add one and one-third cup
? fuls of pineapple cubes. Turn into a
mold, first dipped Into cold water and
chill thoroughly.
Newport Pudding. ? Boll one cupful
of sugar with one cupful of water for
three minutes. Add one tablespoon
ful of gelatin soaked In one-fourth of
a cupful of cold water. Beat the mix
ture as It begins te thicken, then add
the whites of three eggs beaten stlfT
and continue beating twenty minutes.
Divide the mixture Inte thirds, flavor
and color 4? suit the taste. Arrange
In layers in a mold.

Farmers and Cooperation.
The lettuce crop is just
now coming to maturity in
Polk County. What will be
the out come this year? No
one can tell just now. AH will
depend on how the crop is vput
on the market. If each in
dividual small grower ' under
takes to dribble it on the local
markets* these markets will be
choked at once and runious
prices will be the result. It
matters not how smaM the In
dividual crop may be; it
should be prepared and mark
eted through Mr. P. C. Spuires,
who knows how and has
charge of this part of the let
tuce business- This and the
Irish potato and corn for roast
ing ears were undertaken to de
velop cooperative marketing in
Polk County. These crops can
all be grown and marketed suc
cessfully in Polk Cunnty if all
will work together- We must
learn to grow these and other
crops cooperatively and to sell
them the same way. We now
have the services of a man who
knows how. Will ' we follow
his lead and learn how; or will
past reap failure?
Respectfully, J. R. Sama
