Leonard Bacon, d. d., Joseph p. Thompson and X.
s. Storrs Jun, assisted by Rev. Henry Ward Beech

The Independent was not established as money

according to the judgment of its editors, without
reference to opinions the pecuniary interests
of the Journal The editors have the entire control
of its columns but have no pecuniary interest IN
the concern. The proprietors having confided the
management of the paper Internationally to the
editors, are personally pledged for its support. In
the results of this enterprise we have not been dis
appointed The first number was issued in Deem
Der, 1915 without subscriber. The Independents

pers of the same class The Independent contains
about one third more matter than most of them
Though the proprietors have been unknown to-
the great body of the readers of the paper and have
never obtruded their own position and agency up
on them they have taken great pleasure in contrib
uting of their means to provide for thousands n
good religious journal, and will spare no expense
hereafter TO make that journal the best which the
country affords.

How SHOULD CREAM BE KEpr.-This ques-

How SHOULD CREAM BE KEPT.-This ques-
ton is often asked, and it is answered in differ
ent ways. We say that cream is sweeter when
kept out of damp cellar or well, than when
kept in it. Cream is best kept in cool back
room above ground, or chiefly so. 1t ought to
be stirred daily while it is kept, otherwise moul-
dy PARTICLES gather on the surface of the pots.
Milk also, set for cream, yields more cream
when placed above ground, and it rises sooner
also. Any one may prove this by trial of both
modes. Much is said about keeping cream
sweet, but if perfectly sweet it is not easily
churned. 1t should undergo change in order
to make good butter. The act of churning pro-
duces chemical change in the cream, and tho
the cream may have a sour taste, the cream is
not necessarily sour. The nature oft is chang
ed in churning.
A room above ground, on the north side of "a
large building, well shaded with trees, is a bet
ter place for setting than any damp cellar that
we have seen. In such room the cream will
all rise in thirty-six hours that is really valua-

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful stars in the far-up skies,
,-sAh. how We glisten and glow thro the night |!
Gazing above where yon brilliance lies,
Beautiful stars how love your light.
Stately old trees with gnarled limbs,
Vocal with birds that MARBLE away
Life in harmonious choral hymns
All how love your old trees to-day
Beautiful night with your shadowy wings,
lowering DER us in silence and sleep,
Softly encircling earth's living things,
Ali how love the lone vigils you keep.
Ye are all beautiful unto my eye,
Flowers, and streams, and old forest trees,
And night with her glorious star-lit sky
Yes, beauty dwelleth in all of these.

GREEN BEANS, PEAS AND CORN IN WINTER
gentleman says that he saw in January green
peas as succulent, to all appearance, as they
were when plucked from the vine some five or
six months before. The mode of preparing
them is, to pick, when of the proper size for
eating, shell and carefully dry on cloths in the
shade. All the care necessary is to prevent
them moulding; this done, they will be fine and
sweet the following spring. Beans may be pre-
served in the same way, and with perfect sue
cess.
Green corn may be preserved 10 the follow
ing manner; pluck the ears of green corn when
fit for boiling, strip off the husks, and throw the
ears into kettle of boiling water leave them
in until the water boils over them, when they
must be taken out; shell off the corn by run
ming the prong of fork along the base of the
grain, holding the ear with one end against the
breast this is more expeditions, and saves all
the grain including the heart of germ, which is
the sweetest part.
After being thus prepared, it must be spread
out thin on cloths in shady, airy place to dry
it should be stirred every day until dried thor
oughly. When cooked, it should be put in cold
water and boiled off When the water Is near
ly off, little milk added to it will improve the
TASTE
Beans, peas, green corn will retain their orig
inal flavor more perfectly by being preserved
in Theoretically sealed cans.

The ToMATo.-Among the different varieties
in the vegetable world, one of the most valua-
bic is the Tomato, or, as some call it, "Love
Apple" botanical name, Soanum Lycopersie-
UNI; a few years ago it was hardly known and
rarely used, excepting at the South; but it has
grown rapidly into favor, and will continue to
do so, as we become acquainted with its virtues
and accustomed to its use. AS an article of
diet it is almost sovereign remedy for dyspep-
sia or Indigestion, and gives great relief to per-
sons troubled with too much bile, acting in all
those affections Of the liver and other organs
where calomel is indicated as the most effective
and least harmful remedial agent known. 1t is
thought to be an invaluable preventative against
Asiatic cholera; serious diarrhea has been sue
cessfully treated with an extract of Tomatoes
alone.
Persons seldom have a relish for Tomatoes
at first in any form, but when they do learn to
love them, they are generally fond of them
There are many different modes of preparing
them for the table, many persons like them best
raw, sliced up in vinegar, like cucumbers, with
pepper and SALT and occasionally sliced onions
with them.
