COOKED FOOD.

1t takes a long time tor any conservative
person to fall into any new method, which
is apt 10 find favor with the majority in any
progressive community. Notwithstanding
what has been said of the advantage of a
cooked diet, in part, for poultry, many men
still hesitate to adopt the plan.
The results of feeding swine with cooked
corn and meal, instead of the uncooked art
icle, are well known to every farmer. The
gain is fully twenty per cent, which much
more than covers the extra cost attended
upon the course. The argument may be
brought against the method that cooked
feod is not the natural diet of the "feathered

ding the salt. That designed for summer
use should be either kept in a tight earthen
jar or a tin bucket with cover. TO restore
lard that is a trhe tainted, put the lard in
to an iron kettle :nd cut up salt pork i'll
thin slices-about..one halt pound of pork to
a gallon OF melted lard add two spoensful

take out the slices OF pork and turn the

that it has not always been sweet. But it is
better to salt in the first place, as it saves
much trouble and time.
when the lard gets scorchea by frying
doughnuts, as it sometimes will Especially
if the girls are doing it), it can be made nice
again by slicing a raw potato into thin,
slices and dropping it into the kettle and
frying till quite brown. They absorb all the.

.IQrifulhural.

Those who are skeptical in regard to
successful fruit growing in Montana. will do
we'll to read the article by +. w. Cooper,
published elsewhere. on fruit growing in
northern Minnesota and Dekota. There is
certainly ne reason why fruit cannot be
h grown quite rs successfully here as in the
region referred to. In fact we believe there
will be fewer failures in Montana than in
Minnesota. The success already attained
would lead to this conclusion. 1t requires
years of patience and toll to build up the
fruit itinterest ot country of this northern
atitude lat it can be done and every farm
CT should set about the work without delay.
We care not what our facilities for getting
hut from California may be, our people
will never enjoy the luxury to the fullest
extent until it is grown at home. When
this is the case the rich and the poor will be
blessed alike. AS it is now only the veal
ny can afford regular supply. In our
agricultural valleys, small fruits have be-
como so well introduced that many of our
a'mer's wives put up enough each year for
doMe consumption. and we tel; confident
mat this will lead to greater care with
arger fruits which is ali that is necessary to
asecure permanent success.

but when the butt end is down the moisture

to last much longer, because the pores are
more or less filled within the seasoned wood.

down would make more difference in green

fact that the pores Of green timber have
been often saturated with different solutions
to preserve it, by immersing the butt end,
freshly cut, in the solutions to be absorb
ed, it will be also noted, that the burning or
charring the posts only closes the pores and
prevents the absorption of water-Builds7'

HOW TO KEEP LARD.

When the scraps are just beginning to get
brittle and brown, put in a tablespoonful of
of fine salt to quart of the hot lard, and
there will be DO trouble; the lard will keep
perfectly safe for any length of time and
the salt docs no possible harm to any kind
OF cookers. A person can easily judge of
the quantity of lard if they know how
much the kettle holds. 1t makes the lard
