Straw is an excellent covering for
strawberries, and may be held in
place by laying corn stalks on the
straw. Do not apply the straw
mulch until the ground is frozen.
Remove it in the Spring after the
grounds is rid of frost.
Pumpkins are usually kept in
the barn loft and covered with hay,
being used only as change of food.
If a large crop Of pumpklns is grown
they should have a special place,
but they keep best when protected
by a covering of hay or straw.
An Illinois correspondent of the
"Orange Judd Farmer" writes: Il
have been feeding apples to horses
and hogs since September 1. My
horses fatten on them quite readily
with very little corn. In fact, they
lay on flesh faster than with any,
thing / have ever tried, | have fed
apples to hogs for years"
Cabbages are usually buried,
heads under, covering well with
earth as a protection. They can be
taken up and placed close together,
roots down, and then covered with
straw and corn stalks, which per-
mits of using them at any time dur
ing the Winter. After the heads
have been used the stalks will send
off sprouts early in the Spring, which
may be used as greens" and thus
provide a supply before kale is
ready. When cabbages are buried
they begin to rot when frost comes
out of the ground.
A few inches of dry earth over a
pile of fermenting manure will eff
fectually prevent the loss of am
monia. This is a much more COM
mon cause of loss where manure is
piled than in teaching. We doubt
whether during Summer and until
cold weather the piles of manure
left out of doors get more rainfall
than is good for them. This is es-
pecially true of horse manure, which
will burn into ashes and lose most
of its manurial value if kept where
rain can not reach it. The waste
from teaching of manure occuns
mainly in Winter and early Spring,
when the melting of SHOWS and
heavy rainfalls drench the soil with
water,

FARM Notes.


1t Is apt 10 become dark In Color.
It is the bees reared in the Fall
that we have mainly to depend up
on during the Winter and Spring.
During the Winter the bees
should occupy the combs in the
center and the honey around them.
If bees are to be wintered in cell
lars, care must be taken to have
them dry, as dampness induces
disease.
Each colony should have frame
or two of brood, for it is the bees
Matched in the Fall that survive
the Winter.
More bees are lost on account of
bad food or none at all than from
all other causes combined, especial
ly in Winter.
There is no factor in wintering
bees that is SO important as the
matter of food, and it is one that is
often neglected.
1t is often the case that there is
more or less robbing while feeding
in the Fall and it is an almost GER
tain indication that something is
wrong.
Quietude is one of the essentials
in successfully wintering bees,
whether in or out of doors. Never
disturb them except when strictly
necessary.
All colonies in good condition at
this time should have a portion Of
brood in the combs, and if this is
not the case something is wrong
with the queen.
1t will soon be time when all
the work in the apiary should be
done. Get everything in shape SO
that the bees may be ready for cold
weather when it comes.
One of the items of work that
should be looked after before bad
weather sets in IL to examine the
roofs of the hives and if any are
leaky, see that they are patched up.
Mice are very fond of honey and
will soon clear out a colony. Be-
fore Winter begins, it will be a
good plan to fix up the hives so
that it will be impossible for mice
to get in.
One way of making a nice en-
trance during the Winter to the
hives of bees is to spread sawdust
over considerable surface in front
of the hive and filling up level to
the entrance.
The Importance of going into
Winter quarters with good, fer
tile queen cannot be overestimated.
We may go to the expense of put
ting colony into the best shape,
but if it has a defective queen the
colony is bound to prove loss.
One way of feeding bees in Win
ter is to knead honey and sugar
together until it forms stiff dough.
During the Winter the moisture
arising from the bees collects on
the candy and moistens it to such
an extent that the bees can lick it
mp.
Division boards should be used
in all weak colonies, as contracting
the space in the hives to suit the
size of the colony is an important
matter. Chaff cushion divisions
are better than boards alone. The
cushion is warm and a protection
to the bees.
It is important that the brood
nest be properly arranged before
cold weather. The cluster of bees
should occupy the center of the
hive and the honey should SUR
round them. Have the honey

SOUP TUREEN.


menu on Thanksgiving day is roast
turkey. One need hardly give direc-
tons for it's cooking, for everybody
knows how it is done. 1t was America
which gave the dish to England origin
ally, but England has taught us some
very nice ways OF cooking the noble
bird" From that country we have re-
ceived the idea of using forcemeat to
give fiavoring to the stuffing; also OF
garnishing the dish with forcemeat
balls in sufficient numbers to allow OF
one being served with every plateful
OF turkey. These balls. which are near
ly akin to sausages, are cooked on the
pan with the turkey. They are made of
two parts of raw lean beef, one part
OF pork or veal and one part of the fat
OF salt pork, and bound by mixing with
oue-fourth their bulk Of bread crumbs,
chopped fine and nodded into balls. As
the cooking progresses, the fat tried out
key. Here let it be said that frequent
basting is one of the vital points OF
success in roasting.
Another traditional dainty dedicated
to the day is chicken pie. Like every
other good thing, 1t differs in kind.
Each housewife has her own way OF
making 1t. and the result is not the
same in every case, unfortunately for
the partakers. To make a satisfactory
old-fashioned pie, take pair of tender
chickens OF the current year. Upon
less festive days, more ancient fowls
may be used, but tradition demands the
best for this occasion. Cut the chickens
up into convenient pieces. Then cut all
the lean meat from two pounds OF
breast of veal. Boil the bones of the
veal with the neck and gizzard OF the
chickens in three pints of water; the
water should be cold when the scraps
are put in, then left on the back of the
to one-half its quantity The veal, cut
up into small bits, is laid upon the bot
tom Of deep baking dish; the pieces Of
chicken. after being skinned, are laid
over the veal. Broken-up forcemeat
balls and extremely thin slices of salt
pork are put over the top. One cupful
of soup stock, or cold water If there is
no stock, is poured in. Put strip Of
thinly-rolled pastry all around the edge
OF the dish, sticking it on with cold
water and turning the upper edge over
the rim. Cover the whole pie with
thick, rich pie-crust, cutting out small
diamonds or circles near the middle, to
allow the escape of the gas generated

A BACK BLOW.
The Weapon Snail = but Mono More

In these times when backs are lame.
when almost every other one we meet has
now and then, or all the time, q back that
aches or pains -" a weak back, "a bad
back, back that makes their life mis-
cry to bear - and still they 60 on day by

1t, and put in its place new one equal to-

Co. of De Kalb, H., doubled the ca

A narrow escape from another awful
bridge disaster occurred on the Supe-
rior street viaduct at Cleveland. Three
street cars were waiting for the draw
to close and the motormen stepped off
their cars to talk. The motorman of
the rear car had not turned off his
lever and suddenly the car bounded
forward and crashed into the next car
and pushed it against the car ahead
with considerable force. Luckily the
brake on the last named was set
tightly. Nevertheless il was driven
ahead and only came to a stop when
within foot of the closed gates. The
struggle of the panicstricSen people to
escape from the crowded cars was
fearful. Mrs George SCHNEIDER was
badly injured and several other women
tainted. This viaduct is 80 feet above
the river.

Our years are starred with many nor
idays in the present age, but as ma
ton we honor and celebrate most unan-
imously the day OF Thanksgiving ana
praise, which of late years has been APP
pointed by the president as genera
feast-day. to be held simultaneously
in all the states. Formerly, each gov
ernor decided on day for his state,
without regard for the selection oil
other states.
There are families who still, in re-
membrance of their Puritan ancestors
serve dishes that might be called MS
torical, and to still farther recall our
country's past, they serve the dinner
on that one day when the sun is high
in the heavens, instead of waiting, as
usual. until long after the daylight Is
gone.

crust and pour in the liquor obtained
by boiling the giblets and bones.
Even when the dinner Is introduced
by raw oysters, according to moderA
modes. in deferring to old customs they
should appear during the feast as hot
dish. Rigid revivillsts insist on their
being served in the shell; or as heater
way Of presenting them, stewed or
steamed in butter for few moments
after being opened. Sometimes this Is
done with great success upon chafing-
dish at the table. The oysters, which
should be large, are laid in the boiling
butter, covered and left for five minutes
or until the edges curl. The light is
then extinguished. glass Of wine, a
teaspoonful OF lemon juice, pepper and
salt and spoonful of horse-radish
added and well stirred in, and then the
oysters can be laid upon half slices
OF buttered toast and served.
Cranberry sauce is an inevitable ac-
compartment of an orthodox Thanks
giving dinner. Every cook says she
can make ii, but find few who do not
spoil it. To succeed, first wash the
berries, then put them on the fire with
only half cupful of water to two cup
tuls of berries; let them cook slowly.
crushing the berries with a wooden
spoon after they grow tender. When
they are done, put in sugar until they
are pleasantly sweet. AS soon as the
sugar melts thoroughly, take them from
the fire, as cooking with the sugar in
them makes the berry-skins tough.
Mince. pumpkin and apple pies all be-
long especially to Thanksgiving din
ner, and there are persons who do not
think the day righteously spent unless
the memory Of their ancestors Is per-
petuated by finishing the dinner with
the old-fashioned bread-cake, or 'ris-
ing-cake," as some call 1t. BARN
cake" is still older name for the old
colony delicacy. In the White House,
Mrs. Madison always offered the cake
to her guests on Thanksgiving. Her
recipe was 100 years old even then.
Probably 1t was the evolution of the
precious seed-cake of the early set
tiers. In those days the sugar was rare
and precious, and the raisins worth
their weight in gold.
AS handed down to the present gen.
Grafton, the rule for raised cake orders
that a gill Of yeast be stirred into three
gills OF milk. Into this is slowly mixed
ten ounces OF butter creamed with one
pound of sugar, a pound and half of
-four and four eggs. The correct meth
cd, l believe. is to work half of these
ingredients into the milk and yeast and
leave the mixture to rise all night.
In the morning, IL the dough Is properly
lightened, work in the remainder, beat
ing the batter very thoroughly. One
cupful of seeded raisins and half cup
full of currants are then well Toured and
stirred in. For flavoring, our fore
mothers used such spices as their slen-
der resources allowed. Some Of their
younger and more flippant housekeep-
ers. 1t is to be feared, IL records are to
be trusted, added a small wine-glass-
full OF New England rum burned to give
