POETRY.
Pumpkin Pies.

There arc pictures graven upon my mind
OF each season ut the year,
And t.is is what can always Sc
When the autumn time is here.
The old red barn, where the children played,
can smell the new mown hay,
Aud even fancy still can BEE
Ny grandsifes locks o gray.
The farm house, jus, On the brow OF the hill,
Back from the village street,
The orchard fregh,ed with luscious fruit,
And the fields OF golden wheat.
Messy and gray the old stone wall
Creeping up to the edge OF the wood,
And all over the stubby field and shocks
OF corn like scntinels stood.
can see the pumpkins that shone that morn
Like a pile OF rudy gold,
And hear grnndsire say, " We must get them in
For the nights growing cold
Then what visions danced IN cash childish brain
AT the iun SO soon to begin,
For in every pumpkin VIC fanoicd then
We saw " lack o tho Lantern" grin.
So sc hcapcd them high in the old red cart,
Harry and Teddy and /,
And the numbering oxen dragged them home
To be made into pumpkin pie.
All. those old time, Jack o. the Lantern" days
Have faded away like dream,
And the art OF making pies is lost
In these days OF hurry and steam.
Would you know how grandmother made her pie
In that wonderful olden timer
Then listen. Tor here is the recipe
That We just turned into rhyme:
REoIrf.
Take a sharp knife the best OF its kind
And pare off the pumpkins golden rind.
Then cut into cube-shaped blocks Of bull.
And slowly simmer I'LL soft enough.
Run through a seise-the best to be bought
Till you have of the siiIed pumpkin a quart.
Oh, the "croppe-crown" hen will mourn to-day
For her ri1ed nest in the scented hay,
For your pumpkin pics you can bake.
Dat OF her nest you must eggs take.
Beat yolks and whites in 4 separate dish
TIL both are foamy and light as you wish.
White sugar, one cup and halt sou take
Aud Two quarts Of milk, yout pies TO make;
Then OF cinnamon, nutmeg and mace, each one
You AXE tcdspooniul ere you are done.
Next spices. sugar, eggs, pumpkin and milk,
y gu must beat together till "smooth silk
(That is the curious homcly phrase
My grandmother used in those old time days.
Now dozen of raisins more or less,
To each pie will add flavor, you must confess,
The whole must be baked in shell like crust
And Just rs it hardens with sugar you dust.
II you follow this rule when done you'll cry,
Here genuine, old time, pumpkin PIE.

Eyaporated Pumpkins,

Farmers in some localities where III,
apple crop has failed this year have foun
use for their evsporatOrs in saving thell
pumpkin crop. There IS a good demanc
for eyaporated pumpkin, and at gooC
prices. One farmer who had | IA acre'
in pumpkins evaporated it, and the pro
duct Is now worth $500. Pretty good thi'
for year when many farmers allow theii
evaporation apparatus to lie unused.

Leaves for Protection From Frost

1t is somewhat strange how much pow
er thin stratum of leaves has In protec
ting soil from freezing. The explanation
is that the leaves while dry hold stratum
of air under them through which frost
does not easily penetrate, 1t is just the
same when they are wet The earth also
contains air which needs to be at the
freezing point before It can freeze.

Choice Butter.

The German Government specifies in
its butter contract that the product

Chemical examination of butter is most
desirable in testing the milk and butter

see the importance of good dairy stock,
and to realize that it costs no more for
buildings for good stock than for poor.
and no more to feed, care for and milk
them. The difference in the first cost
of stock good and poor is vastly more
than made up by the greater Income in

lave you taken any decisive steps in the
way Of enforcing wholesome laws on

your community Il so, WHAT
Among the answers received to this
question were these; "Voted no Ii
