"XETe may live without friends; we


"NETe may live without friends; we
w may live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks"
And cooks who are famed in all coun'
tries and olmes
Are always progressive and abreast of
the times.
Such as Marion Harland and Mrs.
Mcbride,
Mesdames Rorer and Lincoln, and
many beside,
Who have tried COTTOLENE, and
cheerfully say
This oegetabh shortening Is gaining the
day.
And skllfu physicians and chemists
attest
That for bnre, AeaMtni shortening
COTToLENE is the best.
1t is made of beef suet and cotton-seed
oil;
1t is food for the feeble, and strong men
of toll;
Its color is naturally yellow like gold,
And tits free from all odor when cook
ing we're told.
1t will aid your digestion instead of
yYayd,
Like food that is made with injurious
lard;
twill shorten your pie crust and de"gfhS"
your life.
Prove a blessing to children and hus-
band and wife.

Protecting Young Fruit Trees.

- 'SN6 . = 10 - = :
An Indiana correspondent of Amer
lean Gardening writes:
I'VE have tried many plans to keep
rabbits and insects from injuring
young fruit trees. but the best thing
yet is tarred paper. We buy the paper
as it is prepared for roofing and cut it
into strips about six inches wide and
two feet long. It is easily and quick
~ wrapped about the trees, and is SCI
cured with strings. The offensive
smell of tar drives insects away, and
they will not get between the tree and
wrappings as when rags and yeneering
are used. We wrapped thirty five acres
of trees in tins way and the paper has
now been on two years This is GER
tainlv worth q trial.
