No Profit in Wheat Growing.


The Commissioner of Agriculture of
North Dakota has complied some inter-
esting matter in regard to wheat grow
ing in that State. His figures show that
a net profit was realized in 1891 of
$10.9S15 per acre and in 1892 the pro-
fits fell to $2.1315, while in 1893 the loss
per acre was 1917 cents. The prices for
the different years at the railroad sta
lions were respectively IA cents, 56.6
cents and 500 cents per bushel. The
estimates for 1894 are not given, but
at the lower prices which prevailed the
loss must have been greater than the
preceding year. The liberal profit for
1891 was of course due to the heavy
yield per acre that year, but with an
average yield there would nave been a
margin in the business for the pro-
Queer. North Dakota may be taken as
a fairly representative district of the
great wheat growing country of the
Northwest. If wheat is grown at a
loss in that State there is no place in
this country that it can be grown at q
profit. 1t would be only natural to sup
pose that lands suited to the cultiva-
ton Of other crops would be utilized in
other directions when wheat growing
has ceased to be profitable. In this
there may be possibility Of removing
to a certain extent the competition in
our markets of the cheap wheat of the
Northwest Farmer and Stockman.

How to Use Left-Overs.

The man who saves is wise;
He who is content with mush to-day

Every housewife should look in the
bread jar every morning. The whole
and half slices of stale bread may be
used for toast, the smaller pieces to be
toasted with care on a pancake griddle;
then put them into a vegetable dish
and pour boiling water over three or
four spoonfuls of butter. When ready
to use, pour this over the toasted bread.
Or if you prefer milk toast, set the
milk over the fire, and when hot braid
together one tablespoonful of flour
gradually into this until it thickens
then pour it over the toasted bread.
The small pieces and crumbs can be
used for dressing to stuff fowls with
or they may be placed on tin in a
warm oven and dried until a beautiful
brown, rolled on board until fine, and
then kept in a box or glass jar to use
in place of cracker crumbs for frying
oysters and making croQuettes. Be
sure to roll them until fine, and do not
use the pastry board for this purpose,
as the crumbs will make it rough.
Soft bread crumbs are good soaked in
milk for griddle cakes, stale bread can
be utilized for a pudding. Care should
be taken not to use particle of bread
which is moldy or from a loaf which
has molded.-The Household.

Convenience in the Kitchen.


A handy contrivance for the kitchen
sink may easily be arranged that will
prove indispensable to the housekeeper
who has once tested it's merits. Not
every kitchen can be supplied with all
modern improvements and not every
hOusekeeper has the means to possess
them, but anyone can procure this, and
it will pay for it's slight cost in a short
time
Almost all sinks are too small for
convenience, and their proportions can
be increased by placing at one end a
board of the width of the sink and
about two and one-half feet in length,
letting one end rest upon the sink and
the other on a bracket in the wall, or
other arrangement that may be con-
venient. Have the end farthest from
the sink slightly raised so that all wa
ter will quickly drain off into the sink.
Then have a narrow rim of board
fastened around the edges of three
sides, and two or three shallow grooves
cut into the shelf so that the water
will drain where it is desired instead
of running off at various angles and
Wetting the floor. AS the dishes are
washed place them on this SHELF and
when they are done the hot water may
be quickly poured over them and i'm
mediately drained off. If the sink is
near the range this shelf may be al
lowed to extend nearly or quite to the
edge of the range, and it will be found
convenient for many uses besides the
dish washing. SFt;s%,',

Sauce with Cold Meat.

An excellent sauce to serve with cold
meat is made from grated 2orseradish,
the yelk of an egg and whipped cream.
Squeeze every particle of vinegar from
three tablespoonfuls of the horserad-
ish, and mix thoroughly with the yelk
of an egg and half teaspoonful of
salt. Add six tablespoonfuls Of whip
ped cream and mix again. Serve in a
small dish by itself or put on platter
with cold meat or poultry, arranging
the slices about it with a border Of
parsley.

That Tired Feeling

)ischarging watery fluid, and the burn-
ing and itching would drive her nearly
wild. Unless we encased her little
hands she would tear patches of skin
from her face and hands. We tried
many doctors and many remedies and
at last gave the case up as hopeless.
But our daughter Cora tried Hoods
Sarsaparilla, to cure a scrofulous lump
near the left breast which caused her
much pain and after taking bottles it
disappeared. Blanche, who is now eleven,
had spent seven years of suffering, so
concluded to give her Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla She took bottles and her face is
smooth and soft as baby's, the color OF
a rose petal. Her hands are soft and
white, where four months ago they were
blue and red and calloused nearly like
leather. 1 cannot express my gratitude

EARLY Fattening of Hogs.

pork early than it does late, though
If corn alone be fed, too much Of it
while the weather is warm is apt to in
jure digestion. The great advantage
of early fattening is that it is done
while there is usually plenty of waste
vegetables, small potatoes, beets and
small apples, more or less of which go
to the pig pen and vary the diet of the
fattening hogs. After these are all
stored N the cellar it is very rare that
any are taken out, and then fattening
hogs soon cloy on their ration of corn

Is a certain indication of impure and impov-
erished blood. If your blood could al
ways be rich and pure, full of the red
corpuscles upon which the vitality de-
ponds, you would never be weak, or
Nervous Boils, pimples, scrofula, salt

our mode of living, shut in all winter in
poorly ventilated homes and shops, de-
pletes the blood and there is loss of appe-

is the standard remedy for this condition.
It purifes, vitalizes and enriches the
blood, overcomes that tired feeling,
builds up the nerves and gives perfect
health. Read this:

The Innocent Girl with the Silky
Curl Suffered Too.

Curl Suffered Too.
She-the pretty girl with the silky
curls and sweet blue eyes-had clasped
her hands together, pursed her mouth
up into an expression of happiness
and declared that sleigh ride was the
acme Of bliss He, poor man, had had
a cutter beQueathed to him by a rela-
tive who most generously died. but who
forgot to include horse with his gift
And the poor mans purse was not as
fat as purses sometimes are; so he felt
quite downhearted.
But one day, when his heart was es-
pecially sad-for only the night before
she of the silky curls had again dilated
on the joys of the sleigh ride-he heard
of great bargain.
So the young man with q slim purse
Immediately purchased the bargain,
hitched the bargain to the cutter and
drove away to the home of the lady OF
the silky curls. And of course the lady
Of the silky curls was delighted and she
and the young man bounded away like
a gust Of north wind.
At least that's the way they went I'M
til they CHANGED to arrive at a street
wherein glided a meek and humble
street car. Then the bargain imme-
diately lost his appearance of spright-
illness. His head became lowered and
he took place beside the two street-car
horse. And then what do you think
happened? Whenever the conductor
of that car would ring the bell the bar
gain would stop stone still and never
bulge until the conductor gave the sig
nal to go ahead.
And the bargain had found old friends
in those street-car horses and was re-
luctant to lose his dear acquaintances.
Perhaps the man wasn't in-tempered!
And the lady of the silky curls? Oh,
she didn't mind it as much as the young
man did, for it seemed very funny, in
deed, when she got a chance to laugh
without the young man knowing any.

This. one of the latest verses ever
written by Robert Louis Stevenson, is
in reference to the portrait of himself
which is given to the public with his
verse for the first time in the July
Cosmopolitan. The lines of it have
come from the pen of Burns, and are
inimitable in their way. The portrait
was declared by Stevenson himself to
be the best ever painted OF him. In
the same number of The Cosmopolitan
Rudyard Kipling tells an Indian Story
to which Remington adds charming
illustrations; Mrs. Burton Harrison
makes a serious study of New York
society in 'The Myth of the Four Hun

tributes IA story OF one of the most de-
lightful of Welsh retreats. The Cos

consequence, notwithstanding its large
