HOUSEHOLD HINTS.


To DRY TOMATOES FOR WINTER
Small-sized but perfectly ripe tomatoes,
washed, scalded and peeled, and some of
the juice squeezed or drained from them
Slice and dry them in an oven, just as you
Wouldpumpkin, etc. For use, soak awhile,
then stew and cook as you would fresh
tomatoes.
MILK BIsCUIT.-One cents worth of
yeast, one pint of milk, four cups of flour,
With little salt, set to raise about four
hours; then add one tablespoonful of
white sugar, one cup of lard or butter and
nour enough to make up in loaf; set to
raise again, and, when light, roll out; cut
IN cakes and set to raise in the pans :;
when very light bake in a quick oven.
TOMATO VINEGAR.-Take one bushel of
the ripe fruit, wash and throw them into
a tub; add one quart of heavy Orleans
molasses, mix and wash well, and let it
stand several days, stirring frequently
When strong vinegar odor is given off
strain the juice off and put it into casks
and let it stand until the process is COM
pleted. Vinegar made in this way is
equal to the best, and to succeed in its
manufacture it is only necessary to faith
fully follow out the above simple direc-
tions.-Amertcan Farm Journal
To MAKE CREAM CHFEsE.-Skim pan
of milk which is only slightly sour and,
setting the cream in a cool place, put the
milk in the oven to curd as soon as the
whey forms around the curd, and before
the curd really hardens, pour into coarse
linen bag and allow the whey to drip until
the curd is quite separated; then mash it.
salt it slightly, mix the cream through the
mass and place in cups to form. 1t will
turn out quite solidly and, if the milk is
not more than twenty four hours old, will
have all the flavor of the famous Swiss
cream cheese.
PRESSED FERNS are very easily pre-
served in any unused books or papers, and
are always ready for any ornamental pur-
pose. Three or four of these, of different
sizes, are very pretty fastened to the wall
under a picture, or over bracket, or at
tached to the cords by which pictures are
suspended. They simulate the living
green vines so desirable to have, but
which many who can get the ferns would
find it difficult to procure. They are also
very pretty put up in little groups in dry
moss placed in sea-shells or tiny willow
baskets. They retain their bright, green
color reasonably we'll when pressed, and
are beautiful, arranged with autumn
leaves, for winter bouquets; quite large
ones can be used for this purpose.

Loss From Light Seeding.

WHILE walking over newly-seeded
wheat stubble the other day we noted
many strips or patches where the clover
had entirely missed. AS the catch was
good on either side it was evident that the
strip had been unseeded, and as the nat
ural result was filling with rag weed, barn
grass and the like. Wherever in the
same field clover covered the ground like
a mat not weed of any description was
visible. Looking on last years seeding
mOwn this summer we found the same re-
sult-long strips of two to ten or more
feet wide through the field barren of
clover or filling up with blue-gr or
worthless weeds. No matter how long
the field may remain unplowed these
strips will never become well seeded, and
even after blowing the loss will continue,
as there is less valuable sod to turn under
and these strips will require more manure
to make them as productive as adjoining
parts of the field. The same result in less
striking form is seen from an even though
deficient seeding on the whole field. The
loss from poor seeding, either of whole
or part of field continues with increas-
ing volume for all subsequent time.
The utmost care should be taken to
have every square foot of ground well
seeded with clover. 1t is far better to
overlap the strips and give some double
portion than to leave any without seeding.
When this overlapping gives the clover a
thicker and better sod it is proof positive
that you have used too little seed on the
whole. Some of the best farmers of our
acquaintance now SOW fully one peck of
clover seed per acre, and would increase
the quantity if they could thereby secure
better catch Their clover fields are a
delight to any good farmers eye; the
clover grows so rampant that the pestifer-
Gus annual weeds which infest most fields
are crowded out. Possibly, with very
favorable seasons, less seed might suffice,
but these cannot be depended upon.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-10-07

There is no loss except of little seed
in sowing thickly, while if the season
requires it this thick seeding NAV he
worth five to fifteen dollars per acre more
than a thin seeding. 1t will not do t, ,ie-
pend on plants from all the clover seed
sown, and some seasons not from half of
it, even when perfectly good. Some acct
dent, dry week just as clover is sprout-
ing, may wither the shoot before its root
has struck down, and only those seeds
protected by small stone, leaf or clod
will escape. 1t is generally better, when
a good seed-sower is convenient, to divide
the seed into two parts and SOW half of it
early in the spring and the other half two
or three weeks later. This gives double
chance for success, besides insuring the
covering OF all the ground, if done with
care. By this plan of double seeding a
good catch is almost certainty, and
where a seed-sower is used it does not in
volve much extra trouble.-RuraE Neao

The Farm the Place to Make Men.

CHANGING through our list of successful
business men we find that large proper
ton of them received their early molding
tor life-work upon the farm Our leading
professional men were trained in the COM
mon schools of the country, and there
were taught habits of industry and
frugality which are at the foundation of
their success.
Country boys, farmers sons that work
upon the farm summers, attend school
winters five days in the week and work at
home Saturdays, may think their lot
pretty hard when compared with their
| favored friends in the city. But, did they
but know it, this discipline of labor and
self-denial gives them an appreciation of
education and advantages that city bows
never possess. Country boys invariably
love to go to school; city boys hate the
school-room; and in this very fact largely
lies the cause of the ranks of successful
men in all walks of life, being filled by
men whose early boyhood was spent in
the country
Boys verging on manhood in the city
feel that they have more requirements
than the farmer boys. They spend more
money, with no real benefits accruing
from it, and the result is the formation of
habits that act Numerically opposite to
success. Four generations away from the
farm generally spoils this stock, and there
must be new importations direct from the
country to give strength to business and
professional life. Men forget to what they
owe their success and in their desire to
give their children the best of advantages
do that which enervates rather than
strengthens. They may stuff with
privileges, but the man is made by having
self-denial and a sprinkling of hardship
enter his life. Trials beget character, and
work is the parent of strength. Farmers
sons need not deplore their lot and look
with wistful eyes at the wonderful advan-
tages and easy times of their city brothers,
for glance at statistics will show that
their chances of success are many per cent.
higher than those of the most favored of
city boys. 1t is not intended to urge the
country boys to follow the vocation of
their fathers If they have talent for trade
or mechanics or the professions; far from
it. The best advice is to let them follow
their natural inclnations; but never feel
because you are farmers son and must
needs work hard and exercise self-denial
and fairly work your common-school edu-
cation on that you are wntrodden and
abused These trials are vOur ADVANTAGES
and will make sterling men of you if you
only make the most of your opportunities.

plunging through Grafton by the back
way, eighty-fi miles from the nearest
railroad. The engineer was discharged
for going through mountain where there
was no tunnel, and the passengers COM
planned so much about the roughness of
the road that 3O3' was sent West, young
man, and has ever since been making
lightning ashamed of its gait on the best
road in the world, and it is only under
the greatest pressure and pecuniary in
ducements that the c., B. s. Q. spares it to
jerk a carload of Burlingtonians to Keo-
kuk and back every day. She runs so
easy that there is barber-shop in full
blast on every sleeper that she takes out,
and when she gets warmed up to herwork
every time a passenger puts his head out
of the window he draws it in again as bald
as an egg.
1903 will be in charge of James Hotch-
kiss, who has run on the c., B. & Q. so
long that the whip-poor-wills along the
road have learned to whistle his name
The Hotchkisses are all plucky people
Once, long time ago, Jim Hotchkiss was
running heavy train somewhere less than
a thousand miles an hour, when right
round curve he came plump upon great
high bridge with the draw wide open. 1t
was before the days Of air-brakes and no
earthly power it seemed could hold that
train out of the yawning chasm before it.
There was no time to shut off steam or re-
verse the engine. Hotchkiss jumped from
the engine, plunging like a runaway hur-
rlcane toward destruction. Standing close
to the track, he sprang forward as the last
coach passed, grabbed hold of the coup
ling link, braced his heels against tie
and held on. And there they had it, the
engine just screeching and paving fire
out OF the rails at the head of the train,
pulling like scared mule in one direc-
ton, and Jim holding his breath and
hanging on like book-agent to a Granger
at the other. 1t was nip and tuck for a
minute, when the disguised engine blew
out cylinder head and gave it up. 1t
was afterward discovered that the terrific
strain had broken off one of Jim's sus-
pender buttons. He was very young
then, and not so strong as he is now, and
nobody who travels on the Haaok- Eue
train need be afraid of any accident

Leaf Decoration of Fruit.

A WRITER in the Home Journal saws:
That the beauty of dish of fruit is en-
HANGED by dressing of foliage or flowers,
no matter how fine the fruit itself may be,
few will deny. Much of the effect de-
ponds on the foliage or flowers harmonic
ing in color with the fruit, and so lust as
much forethought should be given in the
arranging and decorating Of dish of
fruit as in the selecting of flowers to ar
range in a vase. AS rule to be observed
| as far as possible the foliage and the fruit
should contrast in color; therefore, for
dark-colOred fruit light-tinted foliage
should be used, and for light-colored
fruit dark foliage. For the decoration of
black grapes, plums or fruits of a like
tint nothing is more effective than leaves
and small sprlgs of the white variegated
maple (Acer 7seg17ado fol. Uar.), but the
lightest-colored leaves should be selected,
and some are attainable perfectly white.
These leaves also look well with straw
berries and other scarlet fruits; the light
shaded leaves of the different varieties of
ivies, too, are most useful also, and where
the maple is not ObtainabIe will be found
an excellent substitute Some of the
ivy can be obtained quite white, others
straw colored, according to the silver or
golden variety to which they belong. The
young brown shoots of the oak are very
pretty for lightcolored fruits, as are also
those of the copper beech. The leaves of
the whortleberry, too, when they begin to
change their tints, but they are not IN
perfection till much later on in the
season. The young reddish or bronzy
shoots of the rose can also be well worked
in. Where obtainable of good color,
for the decoration of dish Of white cur
rants. there is nothing handsOmer than
the sprays of the wild geranium. In some
places the foliage of this plant can be
oot of vivid crimson. For instance.
about Dartmouth it grows on the banks
and on old walls, with its foliage almost
scarlet. and this, when mixed with either
very dark or very light colored leaves of
some other plant, such as some Of those
enumerated above, has most charming
effect.

Potts Baby.

YOUNG Mrs. Potts, who resides out in
the Sixth Ward, is the mother of hand
some baby, and young Mr.. Potts is the
happiest man in Cleveland.
That baby is to him a well-spring of
delight, and its beauties and intelligence
have been spoken of so much clown at
the store'' that the rest of the boys are be-
ginning to be sorry that the said infant
ever found landing on the shores of
time.
They had a chance to get even with
Potts and take it out on the baby last
evening. F. had taken his wife to see the
White Mail and she of course had taken
the baby. The devoted husband got her
a good standing place, and then went off
after cigar. Just then couple Of boys
came along, and as they knew Mrs. P.
and she did not know them they conclud-
ed to have little game at the expense of
Potts and his youthful heir
They took stand behind the mother
and opened the conversation in a stage
whisper which was loud enough for her
mulatto blood in it if he wasn't told, -
said Smith. cts real pretty when one
gets over its dislike for freckles."
=" Its stub nose would be an objection to
some," answered Jones; "but I never
think less of baby on that account. Poor
thing! it can't help it."
"And what a mouthn' said Smith
And then again red-headed children al
ways have bad temper. I pity its poor
pareuts.'
"That isn't SO bad as the lack of intel
ligence seen in its face" responded
Brown. Its an awful pity that child
like that should be born an idiot"
But Browns last remark fell on the
empty air, for the irate mother had
snatched her babe to her bosom, and, with
lurid glare at the impudent strangers,
made Decline for the street-cars. When
the boys met Potts ten minutes afterward
hunting for his wife they told him that it
was an awful shame that he didn't intro
duce them to the mother and babe, and
made him promise to bring the interesting
phenomenon down to the store some of
these days so that all hands and the
cook" could get good, square look at it
once in their lives, and the happy father
smiled and said that he would-CeUeZa1,d
