LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Newell, South Dakota, April 3. Mr. F. E. Babcock, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Sir —Enclosed find postoffice order for $2 in payment for The Democrat. We could not get along without it as it gives all the news from our old home. While we are far from there, that seems to be our real home. Would say this has been a very long and hard winter here and is hardly over yet, as no farming is started. Thg snow is about all gone, but it is so cloudy most of the time that tfye land does not dry very fast. It has snowed about every day for a week in the Black Hills, but it snows up there about nine or ten. months of the year. The stock losses have been quite heavy over the country this winter. Some have had as bad as a total loss, some none, but most losses were from: 10 to 30 per cent. We got the 640-acre law December 29 last and there has been 99 per cent of the land in this county filed on and the other 1 per cent has contracts pending, so no use for anyone coming here for grazing land. But there are some homesteads yet under irrigation. I have a full section besides the eighty acres I bought, but have not proved up yet on part of it. Will take three years yet to complete me. Wil] farm yet this season under the ditch, but am getting started in cattle and want to get back to homestead after this. With best wishes for all in old Jasper, I will close,

Home Cookery

Vegetable Soup. Take a shank of beef of about four pounds and crack it lengthwise once or twice. Put it ,on the fire with six quarts of cold water and let it come to a boil, skimming the grease as it rises to the top: When it is well skimmed add one quart of tomatoes, a few turnips, carrots, parsnips cut into small pieces* part of a head of cabbage shredded* two onions cut in pieces and a little chopped parsley. Put the kettle containing the soup and vegetables on the back of the stove, where it should simmer and not boil. Let it cook slowly for four or five hours. If necessary, add boiling water from time to time so that you "will have about the four quart's of soup when it is done.

Soft Molasses Cookies.

Work three-fourths cupful of lard and three-fourths cupful of brown sugar together until creamy, using a wooden cake spoon; then add threefourths cupful of molasstfe, two eggs well beaten, three-fourths qupful of sour cream mixed with one tablespoonful of‘ soda, one tablespoonful of salt, one-half tablespoonful of ginger and flour to make a soft dough. Put in icebox or cold place to chill. Toss on a slightly floured board and pat and roll to one-half inch in thickness, using half of the mixture at a time. Shape with a round cutter dipped in flour? put on a buttered sheet one-half inch apart and bake in a moderate’oven.

Graham Crackers.

Mix a quart each of graham and white flour with one cupful of sugar, four heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two teaspoonfuls of salt. Add. sweetened sour cream or sweet cream, omitting the soda—for a very stiff dough. Knead thoroughly, roll thin, cut in squares and bake slowly until crisp and light brown.

Veal Loaf.

Three pounds of veal, one-half pound of pork chopped fine (or put through meat chopper), ten crackers rolled fine, four eggs well beaten, six teaspoonfuls melted butter, one tablespoonful salt, one teaspoonful pepper, one-half cupful sweet milk. Make into loaf and bake three hours, basting occasionally .

Savory Fried Apples.

Fry a sliced onion until tender ta bacon drippings. Add quartered and cored apples—pared or not, as you prefer. Fry until tender, then add sugar to taste and watch carefully to see that the apples brown without burning. This combination is as delicious as it is unusual. A new supply of vegetable parchment butter wrappers just received at The Democrat office, 30c per 100. Although milk is selling for 10 cents a ®quart in Middleboro, those who live near the freight yards recently received a free supply. There was a carload of sixteen cows delayed in transit, and people living near the tracks who hau pails handy had them filled by the caretaker of the cattle. No money was accepted for the milk as the milkers were glad to get rid of it
