TOMATOES RIPE AND RED.

1t is not so very many years since
tomatoes, or Glove apples" as they
were then called, might be seen ranged
along the country manteIpiece, divid.
ing the honors with shell flowers and
wax wreaths.
They we're considered then as rank
poison, unfit for the proud position
they now occupy on the table. Even
after that belief was disproved, they
were widely suspected of being the
subtle cause of cancer, and their pop
ularity suffered not little thereby.
But now they are recognized as one of
the chief of vegetables, and new ways
of preparing them are being constant
ly devised by knowing cooks.
To make tomato eggs" cut three or
four good sized and not too ripe to-
matoes into halves. Take out little
of the inside, lay them in pan con-
tanning two ounces of heated butter,
and fry them lightly; when nearly
done carefully dropa raw egg from the
shell into each tomato; watch till it
has set perfectly, then take each one
separately from the pan and lay it on
slice of buttered toast cut to the side
of the fruit. Dust over them little
coralline pepper, and sprinkle little
finely grated ham on the white of each
egg. Serve on n hot dish, and garnish
with the leaves of the tomato.
Here is another way of making n
dish that will be feast to the eye as
well rs to the palate; At the blossom
end OF six. ripe tomatoes make a small
hole of sufficient size to hold dice
shaped piece of butter that has been
dipped iii pepper, salt, and grated nut
meg (mixed). Place them in cup
shaped mushroom, previously soused
in heated butter and slightly busted
with pepper. Arrange them on we'll
oiled dish and set them in hot oven
to cook. Take the soft roes frcm six
bloaters, season them with oil and
pepper, curl them round, and grill
quickly on buttered paper over clear
fire. When the tomatoes and mush-
rooms are cooked remove them from
the oven and place roe on each one.
Round the whole poar gill of ham
coulis.
To make tomato fri,sers, boil, peel
and pound to n pulp four tomatoes.
Beat this pulp up with the yolks of
four and the whites of two eggs, four
tablespoonfuls of cream; season with
n little grated nutmeg and dash of
cinnamon. Beat the whole till the bat
ter is very light, then divide it into
small fritters and fry 0uickly in n nan
of heated butter. Drain on kitchen
paper and send to table with the fol-
lowing sauce: Melt an ounce of butter
in clean saucepan, skim it well, add
the juice from two lemons and table
spoonful of caster sugar. When oil is
thoroughly heated send the sauce to
table i'll tureen. New York Sun.

ANEsTHETIcs FOR HORSES.

A correspondent of the London Live
Stock journal writes: "In extremely
painful operations on the human sub
ject anesthetics are almost invariably
employed. The patient is rendered
insensible. This not only renders the
operation painless, but affords the
operator every facility for conducting
his work, in consequence of the per-
feet placidity of his subject.
''It is a sign of the times that chloro-
form is coming into use in operations
on the lower animals as well. In the
practice of gelding it has been freely
adopted, and with great success, by
several veterinary practitioners during
the last few years.
'It is to be hoped the system will
become general. Licensed vivisec-
tionists are instructed to use anses-
thetics when conducting their investi-
cations The time is probably not far
off when humanitarians-or rather
'beastarians, as they have been called
will be strong enough to pass law
that colts operated upon to destroy
their fertility shall be duly chloro-
formed or rendered insensible by some
other ef1icacious anasthetic. 1t would
therefore be well if those who now OPP
crate in the old fashion would pursue
the new and better way SO as to be
prepared for future regulations. The
administration of chloroform is a
simple matter in skilled hands and in
expensive as we'll. "

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The Houghton is It good variety of
gooseberry.
Barley is one of the very best foods
for horses.
For currant worms spray with white
hellebore and water.
Sugar beets are better than mangel-
wurzels for feeding stock.
The hog is good animal to keep IN
connection with the dairy.
The clover crop is very valuable both
as a feed and as II soil renovator.
Toavoid thumps diminish the amount
of food and give regular exercise.
The Kiefer pear is commended for
its keeping and canning qualities.
Sheep would pay better if superior
grade were kept. The trouble has been
the inferior quality of the stock
Pinching back the new growth on
the berry vines increases the hearing
surface and keeps the bushes low.
The bees get great deal of honey
from the locust blossoms. The honey
is of pale red gold color, and keeps
well.
Many a low, marshy piece of ground
can be made into n harvest field for
the bees by planting willows, asters
OF mint.
Honey is an excellent article to re-
tail, but it is always risky to ship.

is possible.

vites robbers. Try to have all colonies
uniformly strong when put in the
cellar in the fall
Ewes that have proved themselves
good mothers, and especially if they
produce twins, should be kept in the
flock until they are at least five years
old.
Remember, that there is more profit
in cattle, sheep and swine during the
first months OF existence than any sub
sequent age. If an animal is stunted
at any time in its growth, no care and
expense can compensate the loss.
1t is much easier to keep sheep in
good, thrifty order than to get it up

Remember, "a sheep well summered
is half wintered," and the reverse of
this, q sheep well wintered is half sum

COOLING SUMMER DRINKS.

Bottled Coffee Syrup-Simmer to.
gether three cups of sugar and one of
water for five minutes; add this to a
cup and n half of strong coffee; strain
and bottle. Mix with soda water and
cream, or with plain cold water and
cream.
Hot Milk-This can scarcely be
called n cooling drink, and yet its i'm
mediate effect is to induce perspiration
which tends 20 reduce the temper
ATTIRE. Patients who are troubled with
sleeplessness can often be put to sleep
by glass of sterilized milk served
hot
Barley Water-A very safe and
nutritious drink in summer, and one
that is pleasant as well, is made by
boiling tablespoonful of barley or
rice flour for fifteen minutes with a
quart of water; then let it get ice cold
and add lemon juice and sugar to taste.
Pearl barley or rice may be used in
stead of the flour, but it requires to be
cooked in double boiler, and for at
least an hour, and then strained
Boiled Lemonade-The juice of three
lemons, five tablespoonsful of sugar
and one cup of water. Add the water
boiling hot to the lemon and sugar
When ice cold dilute to taste with cold
water, and serve with half dozen
strawberries or raspberries floating on
it. Lemonade made with boiling
water has better flavor than if made
with cold water. American Agricul

MODERN HAY-MAKING,

On our large Western farms, where
the hay harvest continues for any con-
siderable length of time, the four foot
mower has been replaced by one witls
n six or seven foot cutter bar The
eight-foot rake has given way to one
of twice the width. Other implements
have been added Glover grows in
such luxuriance in the fertile Iowa soil
that the tedder is Indispensable. The
loa'ler saves time and hard labor.
Stacking in the open mir has proved to
be n very costly method of preserving
hay and our prairies are becoming
thickly dotted with hay barns, into
which the hay is placed by horse
power. Brain has supplanted Drawn
in great measure, and haying may
now be justly considered an art. By
utilizing the improved machinery, and
following improved methods, Que man
can now do the work that formerly re-
quired two men.
Where the hay is placed on the
wagon by hay loader, and taken off
with fork or sling, 1t good working

SaltOn Sea Agail.

1t is said that Salton Sea, which, two
years ago, was formed by the overflow
of the Colorado River in the desert of
Arizona, is likely to be there again
soon. A cattle man, who is well
acquainted with the region, says that
the river is again overfowing into the
desert, and is likely to do so for u
long time, as there have been very
heavy SHOWS in Montana, Idaho and
Utah, at the headwaters of the river,
the melting of which has caused the
present overflow. The last overflow is
the first in twenty years, but there is
every indication that it has been com
mon in the past, and that the present
desert was in former times great
lake, which there is nothing to pre-
vent its being again, if water enough
runs in to fill it. He says: "When
the overflow of two years ago occurred
the water followed the identical chan
nels that had become almost obliter.
ated from age. The water is now rur
ming into the desert i'll two branches
One is Carter River and leaves the
Colorado about fifteen miles below
Yuma. The other channel is New
River, and is forty-fvo miles further
down the river. Salton is about 200
feet below the level of the debouch
ments of these rivers. The water has
been flowing into both of the breaks [
have named for several weeks past.
Both New and Carter Rivers had ad
vanced about thirty-!i-e miles when |
left, and | think the water will be into
Salton in few weeks more. A num-
ber of large lagoons have already been
filled between the Sink and the Colo
RADIO. One of these is fully ten miles
square. 1t will not take long for these
depressions between the river and the
big basin to be filed, and then the
water will slide over into Salton. =

crew for large farm consists of four
men, and two boys ten to fourteen
years old. With the wide cut-mower,
it is not necessary to begin cutting be-
fore o'clock in the afternoon. This
is easier for the horses, more comfort
able to the man who drives them, and
much better for the hay if it contains
much clover. Enough can be cut be-
tween and o'clock to keep ahead of
tho wagons until the next afternoon.
One man does the moving and tedding,
and what little raking there is to do,
and still has time to help considerably
in moving away the hay in the barn.
The boys drive the wagons. Two men
stay in the field and do the loading,
and one stays at the barn to manage
the horse fork and keep the hay moved
back. Three teams and one good horse
are necessary, the latter being used at
the barn for unloading. When the boy
comes in with load, he leads the
horse, which is attached to the fork,
taking the load off his wagon while the
other one is being loaded in the fields.
The time consumed in loading is n
little more than that for unloading,
and this allows the man at the barn to
scatter the hay in the NOW. Whether
he can keep up this end of the work
depends on the distance to haul and
the amount of hay in the barn.
Hay is made very rapidly and cheap.
ly in this way. With the force men
toned there is very little time lost
Everything runs smoothly, and little
energy is wasted. The hay is put in
the barn at the rate of fifteen to twenty
tons per day, and at cost of forty-fv
to sixty cents per ton, varying, of
course, with the weather. On the farms
of the Atlantic and Central States this
tedder, loader and horse fork are com.
ing into increasing favor, but the nv.
erage farmers of those regions manage
the work with two, or at most three,
horses and two men. The tedder and
the loader not only save time and
money, but the hay is secured in much
better condition. The tedder shakes
the grass, and gives the air chance
to circulate through it, and dry it
evenly and quickly, without burning.
The loader follows, md takes the hay
out of the swath, hence the leaves are
not shaken OF, as when it is raked.
Hay barns are becoming deservedly
popular. No buildings on the farm 50
quickly repay the money invested. A
good hay barn, holding fifty tons of
hay, can be erected for one hundred
to one hundred and twenty five dollars,
and not infrequently'e enough is saved
by its use in one year to entirely cover
the cost. The saving occurs in three
ways. First, the time and labor saved
during the harvest season, to say moth
ing of the advantage of putting every
load under roof, and having no open
stacks to be caught by sudden showers.
Second, the elimination OF the large
waste on top and sides that follows
stacking. There is practically no waste
whatever with the hay barn. Third,
the saving of labor in feeding the hay
during the winter. This laHt is con-
siderable item, for it often means the
board and wages of one man during
the winter months. By putting aplain,
strong manger or rack around the barn,
one man can do the work of two work
ing in the old way. ay.-American Agri-

RAISING FARM TEAMS,

Farmers too often sell the best
horses and content themselves with
any sort of team on the farm as
being of little consequence, and too
often even sell good grade mares that
would raise fine colt and do better
work than any other horse on the
farm, but the buyer offers good
price and the best producer on the
farm is sold
English and French farmers have
pure bred draught mares to profitably
do the farm work and raise II colt
every year that pays the rent Mr..
McLain, at Kansas Farmers Insti-
tute, advocated breeding high class
horses and having good teams on the
farm. He said
1t is impossible to estimate the
difference between good and poor
team on farm. One means success,
the other means failure. am asked
to say which breed of horses L con-
slider the most promising to raise for
sale. suppose, of course, they mean
for the farmers in this section,
engaged, rs they are, in profitable
farming. j would say that if onehalf
of the farmers here kept an account
and knew just what their horses cost
them when grown and ready to work
they would find that they have cost
them more than they could be sold for
| would say, for most farmers, to raise
(if for sale) draught horses. My
reasons are the following:
/. Early maturity. DrAught horses
can be gotten on the market one year
younger than warm blooded horse
2. They are easily broken. 1t takes
less time to fit them for market. They
do not require such perfect condition
MS n driving horse.
3. Then, too, if by chance they have
q slight blemish they will pass muster
where such blemish would unfit a
driver for market.
4. 1t don't require any more feed to
raise big draught horse than it does
n smooth, warm blooded horse.
Now, to sum up, l would say, if you
raise horses at all raise good ones of
some pure breed. j am anxious that
our neighborhood should excel in
everything. l am in favor of special
farming. | think one-half of us ought
to quit raising horses. Let those who
do, raise higher grade of horses and
raise them better and worth much
more money than those we are now
raising.
The mongrel, mixed up breeds we
have been raising must go. They ought
to have gone twenty years ago. The
little splinter skinned drivers are of
no value-so called warm blood. If
you raise drivers raise horses sixteen
hands high, weighing eleven to thir-
teen hundred pounds, that can draw
two persons in buggy six to eight
miles per hour without expressing
them. Life is too short and business
too pressing to go plodding along the
road after plug horse. Western

THE TIME TO CUT BUSHES.

Any time is good one to cut bushes
to destroy the growth. If the leaves
can be prevented from growing one
season, the bushes will die, but other
wise they may be cut down to the
roots every year for lifetime and
every spring they will sprout again.
The cutting should begin at once, and
as fast as the new sprouts appear these
should be removed But the most
effective way to rid the land of any
kind of brush is to take out the roots
by means of heavy plow and mat
took. 1t is more work at the begin
ming, but saving in the end. New

swEET-PICKLED WATERMELON RINDs.
Peel the rinds with a sharp knife
that will take off the green skin evenly.
Trim off also every trace of the pink
flesh of the fruit, because it is too juicy
to make firm, crisp pickle. Then cut
the strips of rind into small pieces two
to three inches long, and placing them
in n large earthen dish, sprinkle them
lightly and evenly with salt. Cover
the dish, and let it stand overnight.
In the morning drain off the water that
will have formed, rinse the rinds in
cold water, and cook them in steamer
until broom splint will readily pierce
them. Cooking the rinds by steam is
an easy method, as they are less liable
to burn than when cooked in the spiced
vinegar. When the rinds are tender,
take them out carefully with a skim
mer, and put them into stone jar.
Take good cider vinegar for the basis
of the pickle. Allow pound of sugar
to a pint of vinegar, and add also hall
an ounce of stick cinnamon broken into
inch pieces, and Tablespoonful
each of whole cloves and blades OF
mace. The whole amount of vinegar,
sugar and spices used must of course
depend on the quantity of rinds to be
picked, but quart of vinegar is usu.
ally sufficient for the rinds of a medium.
sized melon. Boil the vinegar, sugar
and spices together vigorously half an
hour, skimming off the froth, and pour
the pickle boiling hot over the rinds.
Press the rinds down under the pickle
by means of an earthen plate or saucer,
fasten the cover on, and tie cloth
over the whole, These pickles will be
ready for use in two weeks. --Harper's
Bazaar.
