Deputy Fish Commissioner Gale in
forms It's that the Oyster Bay oyster
men, who are gathering seed oysters
in this Bay, are doing so in perfectly
legal way, there being no law against
in, providing no oysters are left to de-
stroy and waste. He says they are
being tonged from the channel, and
the oystermen are doing good in
gathering oysters and thinning the
beds out. He thinks that the Oyster
Bay men, however, should not inter
fere with the Big Skookum shippers,
and has withdrawn his floats. In his
opinion the local oystermen should
perform the work of thinning out the
natural beds, and transplant and cu1-
tivate the spawn.

DOMESTIC CONCERNS.

Peach Marmalade: Peel and quar-
ter the peaches. Use three quarters
OF pound of sugar to a pound of fruit.
Have enough water to cover the
peaches and IN it boil the pits until
well favored, then add the pealed and
quartered peaches. Boil one-half hour,
add sugar, boil for an hour. stirring
observation-disclosures
-Meatless bean soup may be made
with or without milk as one prefers. A
good soup is made of the black beans
soaked over night and boiled in a gen.
erous quantity of water. When soft,
rub through colander, return to ket-
tie seasoned with salt, pepper, butter
and thyme, if one likes. Hard boiled
eggs, sliced, may be dropped into the
soup just before serving.
Potato Salad: Cut in dice piece,
one quart of cold, boiled potatoes; one
small onion. or half of a large one
chopped fine, a little parsley also
chopped: add these to the potatoes,
which should be sailed while cooking,
as it prevents them from boiling to
pieces quite so easily. For the dress
ing, use the yolk of one egg beaten
thoroughly, saltspoonful each OF
salt, pepper and mustard, and four Ia
blespoonsful of thick, sweet cream.
Mix thoroughly; then add four table,
spoonfuls of vinegar. Do not put the
dressing over the potatoes until just
before serving. Garnish with lettuce.
Rural New Yorker.
Apple Meringue: Pare and core
six apples of equal sizes; place
them in steamer, put a teaspoonful of
sugar and three drops of vanilla, a
little grated lemon peel, nutmeg or
cinnamon in each apple and steam I'M
til tender. Heat three cupfuls of milk
scalding hot, remove it from the fire
and stir in the beaten yolk of three
eggs, three tablespoonfuls of sugar
and pinch of salt. Put the steamed
apples in a baking pan, pour the pre-
pared milk over them and bake until
the custard sets, proba bly, about ten
minutes. Make a meringue of the
whites of the eggs and two tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar; heap a spoon
full on each apple, return to the oven
and yellow slightly. To be eaten either
hot or cold.-Country Gentleman.
Cup Puddings: Soak three ounces
of semolina in a bowl with enough
milk to cover for half an hour: drain
and put into saucepan with three
half pints of boiling milk. three table
spoonfuls of sugar. two of butter and a
dash of grated lemon rind: stir over the
fire in double boiler for fifteen min
utes: let it cool a little and whisk into
it four well-whipped eggs: turn into
buttered cups, bake in a moderate oven
for ten minutes and serve with a sweet
sauce. If desired this mixture may be
baked for thirty-five minutes in a dish
instead of in cups, or it may be steamed
for forty minutes. A pleasant sauce is
made by dissolving some tart jelly or
jam in as much water: thicken with a
teaspoonful OF corn-starch and add 2
bit of butter.

For Fall Wear.

Ribbed. striped and plaided woolens
are shown in great variety for autumn
and winter wear, and the novel color
schemes bring out all the new shades
or improved shades of magenta, wall
flower browns and reds, pinkish fawns,
rosy heliotropes, etc. The general rule
for making up these fabrics is that
when they are of the ribbed variety
then bengaline or armure is used.
When they are of two colors, the
darker shade is repeated in the trim
ming. which is usually plain velvet.
and when of contrasting tri-colors,
shot velvet is chosen. each dye being
repeated in the changeable fabric.
Plain velvet, however. is a more sue
cessful garniture for changea BILE mate
rails, whether plain or patterned, than
either silk or ribbon. When it is diff
cult to match the dominant color in
the material, recourse is very often had
to black velvet. which can always be
used with good effect on either gay,
medium or dark tints.-N. y. Post

FACTS ABOUT BABIES.
The Average Weights and Sizes of Very
Young Children.

The Average Weights and Sizes OF Very
Young Children.
1t isn't always the biggest baby that
is the strongest nor finest, for frmness
of flesh and bone, with a steady if slow
increase in weight and bulk, is better
than any great stature or weight. OF
course children are built on different
models, and one can not say that a
be- by should weigh just SO much at such
and such a time, but someone has gone
to the trouble of getting some averages
with which mothers may console them
selves when they have nothing else to
think of. AT birth boy should weigh
some ca to z pounds, a girl somewhat
less, or about to 61z pounds. Twins
are always of lower average weight
and size than single children, although
the two together weigh more than
any single baby. In height boy
should measure at birth on an average
Is to 10 inches; girl some half an inch
less-the range of length lying between
16 and % inches. The child grows rap
idly during the first year, faster than
during any other period of the same
length, SO that it gains about inches,
measuring when twelve months old
about % inches, its weight being about
10 pounds.
During the second year il gains only
inches on an average. and pounds in
weight, reaching a stature of 81 inches
and weight of "a pounds. But these
figures represent only the average. the
extreme ranging bet ween wide limit.
A fact that is seldom taken into con-
sideration with children, with regard
to their weight and plumpness, is that
about their second year. when they are
learning to walk, they become thinner,
not because they deteriorate in health
but through the increased exercise
using up more of the tissues forming
the muscles of the body.-Detroit Free

Cucumber Salad I'm Winter.

Cucumber lovers will find a way to
enjoy them fresh out of season by fol-
lowing this German recipe to preserve
them: Take as many medium-sizcd GU
cumbers as you wish and pare and slice
them as if for salad, and then salt them
well, and after leaving them in the
salt few hours the salt and liquid arc
squeezed out of them with q clean white
cloth. Then take a quantity of finely
cut onions and peppercorns and mix
them well into the cucumber. Put the
whole into large stone jar and pour
over it the best white-wine vinegar,
and on top two inches of good salad
oil; cover the top of the jar with = blad-
der. During the whole winter the GU
cumber remains fresh and good. When
necessary add little more vinegar,
and always leave two inches OF Of! at
the top. Cucumber salad made iron,
the vegetable thus prepared is said to
be almost equal TO its use in the fresh
state-FarmerS' Voice.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

THE best pays in all things pertain
ing to stock.
CLEAN stables have much to do with
success in butter making.
BETTER breeding and handling have
made the average fleece weigh more
than it did twenty years ago.
WHEAT is rich in nutriment, and at
present prices is good and cheap feed
for horses. Use it mixed with other
food.
THE greater the attention paid to
supplying the markets with we'll fed
animals of the best mutton breed, the
more popular mutton food will be-
come.
Two OF the best remedies for the
SOW which has a habit of eating her
offspring at narrowing are exercise
and plenty of succulent food to keep
her bowels loose.
THERE is no profit in raising calves
unless they are well fed and cared for
from the start When brought from
the pasture in the fall they should be
stalled the same AS the other cattle,
that each may get its share Of food.

THE FEEDING OF GRAIN.
Change from Green to Dry Food Should
BE Made Gradually.

Change from Green to Dry Food Should
BE Made Gradually.
While it is an important item to
lessen the cost of feeding the stock
through the winter as much as pos
sible, it is of no advantage to do this
at the expense of growth or gain.
Roughness, such as hay, straw and
fodder, is nearly always cheaper than
grain of any kind. and in very many
cases, where a good shelter is pro-
be maintained by feeding plenty of
roughness with little bran or ground
grain. Generally. the more comfort
able the shelter, the less grain will be
needed.
But it is a mistake to defer COM
mencing to feed the grain until the
stock have been allowed to commence
falling off If the stock are to be kept
through the winter in a good condi-
ton at low cost, it is very important
that they be in good condition in the
fall when it is necessary to depend
upon dry feed.
The change from green to dry feed
ing should always be made gradually,
in order to avoid any ill effects. 1t is
also best to commence feeding light
ration of grain in good season. By
commencing before the stock begins
to fail, a very light ration will be all
that is necessary; but after the stock
once gets started to running down. it
will require considerable more feed to
keep thrifty.
The amount of grain that will be
needed will vary considerably and can
only be determined by the condition
of the animals, and the condition I'M
der which they are fed. The economy
in providing shelter, in feeding and
watering regularly, in making COM
Portable by providing clean bedding.
is that less grain is needed, but it will
not answer to conclude that growing
stock, because they are made comfort
able, can always be kept thrifty
through the winter without grain.
The object in supplying these is to re-
duce the cost as much as possible. and
at the same time maintain a thrifty
condition, but, when necessary, grain
should be supplied, and the safest as
well as most economical plan is to
commence in good season giving a
light ration and increasing as the
needs of the animal seem to demand.
