4 FEW HINTS For HOUSEKEEPERS.
There are strong indications at pres
ent Of hot weather, and if we are wise
we will regulate our diet accordingly.
With care, very muck discomfort if
not real sickness may be avoided. by
adopting plain yet nutritious daily
fare. 1t we must use fat pork, the cold
winter weather is the best time for it.
If not entirely new ways of cooking.
they may perhaps prove ''suggestive''
to some of your readers ut least. Beef
steak is generally admitted to be the
best broiled; but on the prairie many of
us use hay fuel, and we lack nice GOALS
for broilln5 purposes. If any one has
Il better plan than the following /

your frying pan OIL the stove, (clean and

INTO suitable pieces and rub on Il little
salt. Lay it in the hot pan and pepper

and flavor within. Turn often and
when nearly done add piece of butter
to each slice. If gravy is liked spoon
full of strong coffee may be turned into
the pan, aud milk and cream added and
thickened. The yolk Of an egg enrich
es it greatly, but first remove it from
the fire, and cool a little before adding.
Now would like to say Il few words
about cooking beans. A great many
think they cannot cook them without
pork, and used to think so too. re-
member years ago in nearly all New
England families, Sunday breakfast
was made up largely of pork and beans.

FROM RANSOM.

RANSOM, June, 1875.
Decoration day has passed. The HON
ored dead have been honored. Flowers
have been strewn, adieus have been
said. Paintings have taken place. and
to the quiet homes of friends and rela-
tives, have retired those who have par
taken of the sorrows and the joys which
are dedicated to The day. Decoration
day! May the custom he long-liyed.
and our cllildren's children keep the
custom long in remembrance. But
Willie we marched to the music of the
drum celebrating the appointed day,
soldiers and friends marching to the
the graves of our fallen heroes and
comrads, would it lie out of time and
place to suggest the practicablity, nay
ACCESSIBILITY, of marching by the time
another year has rolled round, i'll regrl-
lar organization, under the laws of the
State, veritable military company.
Where is there a larger organization
Of the Grand Army to select from?
Where better veteran soldiers of the
late war, rank and file, all sufficient in
drill? Where better personelle or MT
terials than the young men of the coun-
ty, ready and willing to learn from old
soldiers, aye to compete with them in
camp or field in any system of tactics
that may be used.
We have our brass band and we all
know the proficiency and ''Craft'' they
have attained in SO short time. We
have all the requisite talent in the MANY
military officers our county numbers,
from our gallant surgeon, who is Il
prime necessity, as I'LL soldiers know
who have danced to the music of ''Qui-
nine Call'' and (who has not so danced J
do*n to our lowest corporal. And
again from our commandante, down
through all the grades until we find the
private soldier, the bone and sinew of
our ''Noble county," And while the
''horrible machinery of war was never
so complete as now" why can't we as
all Europe is doing, arm, TAT the expense
of the State, and thus form a Noble
County Guard from internal and exter.
nal foes.
7. S.-What l meant to say from the
start. was-Why can't military com.
pany be formed in our county, just as
well as not, and if not, why not?

We find the following in the railroad
column Of the Toledo Commercial: It
has a general bearing on the, narrow
guage from here to Fort Dodge:
Broad is the gauge that leads to death,
And thousands sink their money there;
But wisdom shows narrow path
That saves-cn freight and passen-ger.

THE CROPS.

Farmers in this county. say they new
er saw a better prospect for small grain
than at this time. The recent cool
weather, however, has not been, so IA
vorable for corn, which is to be-. regret
ted, us there is much larger area than
usual planted to corn. 1t is said that
i'll the western counties of the State,
the area in corn is twice that of last
year. From the counties along the
Southern Minnesota and the Winona
and St. Peter railroads.. we hear that
wheat prospects are good with fully ten
per cent. more sown than last year,
The grasshoppers are injnring the crops
some in Blue Earth, LIE Sueur, New
Ulm, and one or two other counties, but
as they are being killed by the hundred
bushels, it is probable that the damage
will not be very great.
From Northern Iowa, we hear. that
the prospect is excellent. All the indi-
cations now are favorable for good
crops in this part of the West, and if
we. escape the grasshopper, whose
shadow rests like a nightmare upon the
hopes of the farmers, we shall have
flush times after harvest.
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1875-06-11

The good news comes from Blue
Earth and other grasshopper-infested
counties that the pests have been so
thlnhed out by the war Upon them that
but little damage is apprehended. The
quantity reported as caught and buried
in Blue Earth county alone is $500
bushels. The remaining grasshoppers
are taking wings and flying northeast

THE DIFFERENCE.


A correspondent of the Sioux CITY
Journal, writing from Bismarck, speaks
of the fact that a United States marsh
al, who went there to do his duty was
hooted through the streets by the citi-
zens. Gen. Custer was compelled to
come over and sustain the marshall,
and the Bismarck Tribune says ''only
to be laughed at by our citizens.''' The
writer above mentioned concludes as
follows:
God forbid that either Judge Barnes
or Marshal Burdick should suspend
men who have done no crime, but, on
the other hand, have performed their
duty. l call attention to the above
facts to show you how riot may run in
a town with paper which has never
been known to denounce the wrong do
ing Of its citizens.
This is the difference. In Bismarck
the paper is blamed for not denouncing
riot and wrong doing, and in Worth
ington the paper is blamed and the edi-
tor insolted and prosecuted for re-
buking rowdyism and disorder. Bis
marck is town of saloons, and Worth
ington is famous temperance town.
In Bismarck good men and law abiding
citizens are outraged because their
newspaper takes sides with riot and
disorder; in Worthington they take
such position as to indirectly encour.
age rowdyism and silence an indepen-
dent press. In Bismarck, good men
think of withdrawing patronage from
y newspaper which will not denounce
riot and disorder; in Worthington,
some of them withdraw their patron
age because the paper does denounce
rowdyism and disorder, and systemat-
ic effort has been made to band bust
ness men together to Withhold patronage.
How do Christian men like the con-
trast?
