GOOD MILK DINNER,

How . Really Good Table May TIE Set o.
Vegetable Diet.
Those people who are slkeptical as to
the possibility of setting a really good
table on a vegetable diet should ex-
anime the following menu as ibed
in the New York Recorder:
In this good, substantial meal meat
is omitted, vegetables taking their
place, all we'll cooked, aHd pure milk is
one of the principal ingredients.
Cereals. corn, potatoes, potcheese,
good homemade bread and creamery
butter, with q dessert of bread or GUS
tard pudding, forms this interesting
menu. For the first course, oatmeal,
rice or small horniny carefully prepared
is the main dish, and served with
cream and powdered sugar.
For the piece de resistance, corn pre-
pared with milk. To prepare this dish
to perfection, the corn should DO
freshly and carefully picked, and all
the cars should be full grown and ten
der. After it has been stripped of its
silk. sp1lt each row of kernels with q
sharp knife, then cut or the outer
edge of the entire eur, after which with
the point of a knife scrape out all that
remains, leaving the dry cob. Cover
with fresh sweet milk and boil for
fifteen minutes. Remove from the fire
and season with butter, pepper and
salt to the taste.

that is claimed for it, cut cold boiled
potatoes into small slices. ELL a pud.

slices, each sprinkled with flour and
seasoned with pepper and salt, and
plentifully supplied with bits of but

the whole one pint of thick rich cream.
Dredge the top with flour, cover over
with bits of butter. Bake in a moder-
ate oven for full hour. When cooked
the top should be brown, and all be-
Meath the top layer rich, creamy, deli
cious.
The dessert for this milk dinner
should be bread or custard pudding,
which, if rightly made, is excellent in
its way. Pitchers Of rich milk should
grace each corner of the table. Pot

ing even the Seufchatel cheese. with
crackers and cream coffee. is the
charming ending of this palatable meal.

whether this is a profitable exchange
for the farmer. OF course it is a de-
batable question.
While cotton seed can be fed with
safety to cattle, still we believe if the
truth were known great many
deaths have been caused indirectly
from cattle eating the lint that re-
mains attached to the seed. Admit

the farmer does not dispose OF any OF
the valuable Observation-Disclosures, pot
ash and phosphoric acid. The $50
pounds of meal contain within a small
| fraction all the nitrogen that was in

What price should cotton seed COM
mand when cotton-seed meal is held at
S22 per ton? We find that at IS cents
per bushel and a ton of seed costs at the
mill just $40,
The $50 pounds of meal out of this
ton of seed at Sl.10 per hundred (Sss

of hulls sell at the mill at nm average
price of 50. so per ton. This would make
nearly $l.s5. The two added together

What is Il proper and safe ration of
cotton-seed meal for 1nilch cows i?
1t depends upon the size of the ami
NAL to some extent.
ms much as six or seven pounds per
day has been fed to cows without any
perceptible bad effects.
But it is substance that should not
be fed for any length of time by itself
even to the half of that quantity. Not
over two and a half or three pounds
should be fed to any COW, howe YER
large, and this quantity should be fed
in connection with something that is
poor in nitrogen. A mixture of cotton
seed meal. corn meal and wheat bran
makes a more desira BILE ration than the
meal by itself.
If any of our readers have had an
extended experience in feeding cotton
seed meal and the hu1ls we should be
glad to have them give their cOnclu-
sions.
Is there any country or section OF

Daintier effects may be obtained by
using moist water colors, instead of oil
paints.
After the design is finished fold the
ribbon in half and overseam it to-
gether on each side. keeping the
selvidge on the right side. If neatly
done this gives cord effect, and is
better than making Il regular wrong
side seam. Make a four-fnch hem at
the top, and about three-quarters of an
inch from the stitching of the hem
make another stitching all around

colors in this narrow ribbon is neoes-

side, and finish off the ends in little

caro- must be taken to leave three
quarters OF an inch unsewed, just
where the casing will come, rs little
openings for the ribbon drawstring.
The advantage of a bag like this is
that it does not have to be lined, as fine
satin ribbon is heavy enough to do
away with any necessity for this. The
1nagnesia should be carefully brushed
of the wrong side of the ribbon as
soon as the painting is dry. and just be-
fore sewing the bag together.

The ,1ose confinement of the student

No young child should be permitted
