Quick Way Of Preparing Watermelon
Rind.

Scrape young and tender rinds on
both sides. To n pound of rind
add one Of alum; let them
boil together slowly, with water enough
to cover them, until they become yell
low; put them into a vessel of cold
water, where they must remain a short
while; then put them on the fire again
with weak vinegar and water mixed
sufficient to cover them. After they
become green pour them into cold wnt-
er again, letting them stand ten or hf-
teen minutes. To every pound of rind
put two pounds of loaf-sugar {some
persons put n pound and o half and
one pint Of water. IF there is not wat
Ell enough to cover with syrup and keep
the r1nd from burning, add more.
When the syrup is rich and clear, the
sweetmeats will be- beautifully green
and transparent. For favoring, put in
white ginger, with the strained juice Of
one lemon and its thinly pared rind, to
each pound of preserve, or, if you pre-
fer, use two blades of mace and a tea
spoonful of pure extract of lemon in
stead.-Mary Stuart Smiths Virginia

Feed For Butter, Etc,

What is the best food for butter max
ing Summer and Winter?
Ans.-1. In Summer the best butter
food for a COW is good, fresh pasture,
with a daily feed of corn-meal, oil meal
and bran, onepart each, mixed together,
and moderately wetted about six hours
before feeding time. In winter, plenty
of good, bright clover hay twice daily;
plenty of bright straw once a day, and
two feeds a day of the same mixture.
and one feed each day of silage, man
gels, sugar beets, or carrots. At all
times feed enough to keep the COW in
good condition, and give all the pure,
warmish water she wishes, at all times.

Historical Hot Summers.

People who are already complaining
ofthe heat while this summer is scarce
ly a month old says the XIXeme Steele,
should remember the extraordinary
weather of former years. In 627 the
heat was so great in France and Ger
many that all springs dried up; water
became so scarce that many people died
of thirst. In $40 work in the fields had
to be given up; agricultural laborers
persisting in their work were struck
down in a few minutes, SO powerful was
the sun. In 993 the suns rays were so
fierce that vegetation burned up as I'M
der the action of fire. In 1000, rivers
ran dry under the %protracted heat, the
fish were left dry in heaps and putre-
fed in q few hours. The stencil
that ensued produced the plague. Men
and animales %venturing in the sun in
the summer of 1922 fell down dying,
the throat parched to a finder and the
blood rushing to the brain. In 1872
not only did the rivers dry up but the
ground cracked on every side and be-
came baked to the hardness of stone.
The Rhine in Alsace nearly dried up.
Italy was visited with terrific heat in
1889; vegetation and plants burned up.
During the battle of Bella in 1860 there
were more victims made by the sun
than by weapons: men fell down sun.
struck in regular rows. The summer OF
1877 was also severe; there was an abso.
lutte dearth of forage. In 1903 and 1904
the Rhine, Loire, and Seine ran dry. In
1915 the heat throughout Europe became
excessive. Scotland suffered particu.
larly in 1925; men and beasts died in
scores. The heat in several depart
ments during the summer Of 1905 was
equal to that in q glass furnace. Meat
could be cooked by merely ex-
posing it to the sun. Not a soul
dare venture out between noon and
4 p. m. In 1718 many shops
had to close; the theatres never
opened their doors for several
months. Not a drop of water fell during
SIX months. In 1903 the thermometer
rose to llS degrees. In 1779 the heat
at Bologna was SO great that a great
number of people were stiAed. There
was not sufficient air for the breath.
and people had to take refuge under
ground. In July, 1893, the heat be-
came intolerable. Vegetables were
burned up and fruit dried upon the
trees. The furniture and woodwork
in dwelling-h houses cracked and split up:
meat went bad in an hour. The rivers
ran dry in several provinces during 1911;
%expedients had to be devised for the
grinding OF corn. In 1922 o protracted
heat was accompanied by storms and
earthquakes; during the droughtlegious

1882 the heat brought about cholera in
France; 10000 persons fell victims to
the visitation in Paris alone. In 1916
the thermometer marked 1875 degrees

Farmers, Short Rows.

To remove lice from hen houses, and

cd is recommended as one of the best
that has been tried: Take flowers of
SULPHUR five pounds. liquid carbolic
acid, n dram. Rub the acid in the
sulphur thoroughly with a small pad
pie, and apply through the pluff and
feathers of the hen with the hand, and
it will not only prove an effectual ap-
pilcation but also a safe one, as it will
not interfere with the matching of eggs
or endanger the life of the chicks.

lowing periods to whioh various trees

The editor of the Iowa Homestead
says that last Fall he fed out a lot of
second crop clover on a rough piece of
raw prairie. He first burned off the
prairie grass. The cattle ate part of it,
tramped some in the ground and the
wind blew the rest back and forth. The
result is the prairie is nicely seeded to
clover. He considers this a desirable
way to seed bare spots in pastures.
There are only few countries where
the grape will in favorable seasons grow
to perfection, and there is no country
in the world where all kinds of grapes
would succeed. Species found in the
lower ATTITUDES will not flourish If re-
moved further north. The natives of
higher ATTITUDES will not endure the
southern heats. The fox grape of the
north will scarcely grow in the lower
regions of Carolina and Georgia, and
the scuppernong seems confined to q
limited region. A vine which produces
delicious grapes in n place may be-
come very inferior in the most appar-
emily favored localities of other sections.
In many of the older portions of the
country sheep, for one reason or an
other, have been crowded off of the
farms. There are indications of a re-
turn to the wise practices of the faith
ers, where every farm had its flock.
Says Col. Curtis, of the Rural New
Yorker:-"Sheep fit in SO nicely upon
the farm that they can hardly be dis
pensed with. They have an advantage
over other stock, inasmuch as they can
be made to furnish an income twice in
the year-first the wool and then the
lambs. They may be made to do more
than this, and really do afford another
income in the autumn or winter, by the
fattening and sale of the old sheep or
the sale of the surplus stock"

Bcrub Horses.

An exchange says in regard TO the
raising of horses: "It is time for our
farmers to understand that the days OF
small horses are over, except to drive
to town and for light livery work.
They cannot afford either to raise them
or own them. If they will observe
carefully they will discover that 1t costs!
no more to keep a colt two years than a
calf, and that during these two years
on stock kept the colt will increase in
value a great deal faster than the calf.
We do not advise farmers to go alto
gether into horse farming, or INTO any
other specially, but along with the
calves and pigs raise q few good, large
colts. 1t is unsafe to devote q farm to
any kind of stock. The true wisdom is
to raise some of each, but whatever you
do, raise the best. We have learned by
experience that corn is never so cheap
or grass so plenty thati it will pay to put
either into scrub cattle, scrub hogs or
scrub horses. And the man who does
it when he can help it will soon pc
rated as a scrub farmer"

For Stay. at Homes.

DR.. @. G. Vanderbeck in q College Lecture.
First, lessen your meat and increase
your fruit diet. Strawberries and all
sub-acid summer fruits purify the blood;
tender vegetables suit we'll the human
stomach, and those who partake freely
of both never need drugs. Second,
don't worry over the heat. 1t doesn't
bring down the thermometer a bit.
Third, don't be a shamed of the sun
umbrella. Fourth, do not be SO foolish
as to expect an elixir of life" in
strong drink, used in winter to Danish
cold, used in summer for relief from
heat; Whisky is inflammatory to blood
and tissue, and Turks in every glass of
summer liquor. Drink water in mod
Grafton. Drink lemonade, soda water,
acidulated drinks of any kind in the
same way. Slowly sucking pellets of
ice, or simple rinsing out the mouth and
throat with water will allay thirst, and
thus prevent the excess in use of liquids.
Fifth, pay due attention to cleanliness,
both of person andsurroundings. Morn
ing and evening sponge-bathing of the
body Is refreshing and toning. The
morning bath better be cool, and warm
at bedtime. If the heat of the night
prevent sleeping, and hours of restless
s are spent, sleep often quickly fol-
lows a warm bath. Live lazily during
midday, doing most of the days work
III early morning hours.

Clearing Up tae Garden.

AS the gardening season will soon be
over, the common practice of allowing
the weeds and grass to take complete
possession should be abandoned. It is
a very unsightly spectacle to witness
the tall weeds towering above the fence
tops and giving indications of neglect,
simply because the season is late and
necessity for cultivation is past. Such
weeds rob the ground of the nourish-
ment that should be retained for the
next springs crop, but damage in that
respect is q small matter compared to
the extra labor that will be entailed by
the seeding of the land with weeds.
Every weed killed now will double the
labor saved hereafter, and besides
avoiding the robbery of the soil, the
seeding of a new crop, and the ugly
appearance, the weeds afford a harbor
for many of the insects that come to
the surface on the approach of mild
weather in spring. It should be the
the aim to not only keep the weeds from
going to seed, but also to destroy them
when they are young, and the matter
will be easy of accomplishment. Farm,
