from the Large,CitieS.

Washington. D. c., Dec. 2S.-Today's
cabinet meeting was unusually briet.
Secretaries Gage and Bliss being out of
the city and Secretary Alger being i'll,
only five members attended. The APP
peal to the American people for AID
for the sufferers in Cuba was the prln-
cipal topic of discussion. The President
and all the members of the cabinet are
deeply interested in the relief project
and have taken every means ut the COM
mand of the administration to facilitate
the extension of relief through the
State Department here and Consul Gen
eral Lee in Havana. 1t is expected that
the first responses to the appeal will
come from the large cities of the coun-
try and the belief is exposed that they
will be both prompt and generous.
Several departmental matters of minor
Importance also were brought to the
Presidents attention.

BOOK FARMING.

II 10 Valuable to tho Extent that Acquired
knowledge Is lntciligentiy Applied.
There is a very strong prejudice in
the minds of many farmers against
what they are pleased to call ''boolx
farming" agricultural papers. This
prejudice is gradually decreasing, and
will decrease more rapidly in the flu
ture. Successful farmers who decry
book farming, and there are, it must
be admitted, not few such, are among
the quickest and readiest to gather up
oral hints and suggestions from their
neighbors and acquaintances, and are
the closest observers of what is going
on on their own farms and the farms
Of others. They seem to forget that q
correct observation does not lose any
thing of its value by being transferred
TO papers and that o suggestion is none
the worse for being written down and
resd, instead Of spoken and heard.

Sensible Farming

"a Young man who had served an
apprenticeship with market garden
er in the east came into the northern
part of this state while l was there,
and bought 40 acres of land. Most of
his neigbbors owned 120 to 320 acres
each, and they polfed fun at the little
''one-horse 40-acre farmer" as they
facetiously called him. and told him
he would starve to death on his little
'truck-patch. The second year after
locating he astoniahed the natives
by raising something over $500
bushels of corn on 30 acres.
seven tons of timothy hay on
three acres, 124 bushels of oats ON
two acres, and fO9 bushels of W heat on
three acres. The third year he har-
vested fraction over nine tons of hay
of the same three acres. AS long as
remained in the locality his crops
would invariably average more than
double those of his neigh bors. Not
withstanding this fact he was regard
ed as rather small potato by the large
landed farmers about him, and in mat.
tiers of public interest he was never
consulted. Some years later was told
that he held $1,000 mortgage on the
32oacre farm adjoining his little truck
patch. '"--Cor. Farm and Fireside.

Cheese Omelet.

This is a most delicious dish, but its
excellence depends to very large
extent upon its being served i'm
mediately after being cooked. Break
three eggs into bowl, beat them
briskly, and add while beating a sea-
soning of salt and pepper, two teaspoon
fuls of minced parsley and three table
spoonsfuls of grated cheese. When
these various ingredients become
thoroughly incorporated pour the mix
ture into an omelet pan, in which has
been melted some butter, and fry in the
usual manner. Serve, neatly folded, on
a very hot dish--not overdone, or the
omelet will be tough and dry.-Ladies'
