washfngton's Birthday,

The anniversary of the natal day of the statesman and general who is celebrated in olassic song and story as the ''father of his country was observed in New Haven yester- day after the customary manner. Ameri cans are too lacking in veneration to make much of such holidays, and but for the. e.unus. ual number of people out upon the streets in holiday attire, the firing of cannon and fly. ing of flags and the closing of the post office, banks, schools and some stores, one would not have imagined that the day was really of any importance in the national cal endar. The O. U. A. M. recognized the day by appropriate observances. They fired a salute of thirteen guns at noon. Last eve ming at sunset another salute of thirty eight guns was fired by the Patriotic Sons of America. Accounts of private celebrations by various organizations may be found else where

Culture of Wheat.


Germantown Telegraph.
The greatest enemy of the wheat crop Is too
much water. 1t may be said that the wheat
root is more susceptible to injury from too much
water than many of believe. To be sure,
there is a general impression that an overdose of
water is bad but the full force of the impression
is seldom felt as it deserves to be- Water ly-
ing around roots does not always kill wheat
plants, but many of the roots are injured, and
the few that are left are not able to do the work
that all were intended to take part in doing If
any one will dig up wheat plant in spring
which has stood all winter in a wet place he will
see exactly how this is. Only living roots close
to the surface, and all below this may be in
jured
The English seem to understand this water in
jury better than we do, and provide against it
on wheat lands by numerous burrows; III some
cases of hattish land, one-twenteth of the whole
area may be counted as surface burrows; and
yet, with this waste of ground, as some would
say they beat us considerably in the number Of
bushels they get per acre. 1t is supposed by
many that whether we have a good wheat season
or a bad one depends more on the quantity of
rain we get at various seasons or the condition
of the ground of the plants at the time the rain
falls. If it goes through the ground rapidly, it is
good for the plant though in large quantities.
but if it lies long it is an injury Thus, if a
piece of land is rather fat and the ground is
frozen deep and stays frozen after the surface
has thawed, and rain or melted snow is let in, the
frozen bottom keeps the water from passing
away and so injury results to the roots On
sloping ground the water passes out on the lower
position, and in these cases not so much injury
results. There are no doubt, many causes which
eonspire to injure crops, but this overdose of
water is very likely to be one Of them, aud it will
be wise for all of those who are interested in
wheat culture to take every precaution to carry
off water which may fall on the land. Open
bitches or pillow burrows many do; they are
very useful to this end Attend to this carefully,
and it will be found that wheat culture in Penn
sylvania will be as productive as everit was, and
will continue to be so.

Recipes.

Lemon Cookies.--Lemon cookies are made of
one large cup of sugar little more than half a
cup of butter, half teaspoonful of soda dis
solved in two teaspoonfuls of hot water; flavor
with lemon, and use just -four enough so that
you can roll the cookies out thin; bake in quick
oven
Spice Cake.-An old fashioned and toothsome
spice cake is made of three pounds of seedless
raisins, one and half pounds of citront two and
a half coffeecups of sugar, two cups of sweet
milk, four cups of -four, six eggs, two teaspoon
fuls of baking powder, three teaspoonfuls of Gin
namon and two of mace.
Dried Peach Pie-An excellent pie can he
made of dried peaches. Let the peaches soak in
cold water all night; stew them in the same water
until so soft that you can mash them fine; add
for one pie two tablespoonful of sweet cream
and little more than half cup of sugar-too
much sugar destroys the flavor of the fruit
Butter may be used in place of cream, but if pos

filling. .t-'f"
Potato Puff-Potato puff with the addition of
little cold meat makes an excellent breakfast
dish To two cups of cold mashed potato allow
two well beaten eggs, two tablespoonful of
melted butter, and one cup of sweet milk; beat
all together until very light, then add the cold
meat, chopped very fine. After mixing thor
oughiy put it in a shallow pudding dish, and

If preferred you can bake in well-buttered gem
pans
