Getting Sunday Dinners In Summer.

Getting Sunday Dinners in Summer. Z
There are any number Of things
which may be prepared on Saturday.
Usually the baking is done then, and
there is fresh bread, with biscuits and
cakes. A pot of beans is prepared on
Saturday afternoon and warmed for
Sunday breakfast. The desserts for
Sunday may also be made on Satur-
day, and few are easily prepared and
are good cold. When fresh fruit is to
be obtained, nothing makes nicer des-
sert and is more quickly prepared.
Served with rich cream and sugar, any
of the berries, peaches or bananas are
delicious. Potatoes may be served In
. number of ways which only take a
short time if partially prepared on
Saturday. 1t is customary to have q
roast of some kind for Sunday, but
this requires hours of attention. If
cold meat is not relished, some kind
which may be fried will only take q
short time to prepare. Chickens may
be partially fried on Saturday, SO that
ten or fifteen minutes on Sunday will
finish them. Saturday roast may be
sliced cold for Sunday evening, and
the chicken or turkey for salad may
be chopped on Saturday, ready for the
dressing on Sunday. There are
canned Holsters and salmon, which
may also be enjoyed on Sunday, and
which are always ready. Soups may
be cooked on Saturday also and re-
heated for dinner on Sunday. AS for
fresh vegetables, nothing is so easily
prepared as lettuce salad. The let
tuce may be washed and picked over
in the morning and left in cold water
to keep crisp until needed. Most
canned vegetables require only ten or
fifteen minutes to cook. Fresh aspara-
gus, if tender, requires but ffteen
minutes, and radishes may be cleaned
the day before or in the morning

fact all the aldermen are feeling
pretty good this year about the gem

city are in. The distribution has
been SO general that all have shared
in them. They extend to al locali-

Fourth has got something, and
where it is not paving it is side

the central ward the attention it de-
serves in the river front project. 1

who fail to realize this fact or will
fail to give the enterprise the atten-

And that alderman spoke from

the levee was first discussed this
season there were aldermen in some
Of the extreme ends Of the city who
declared they would do no more for
the central portions until the coun-
Gil gave them what they needed for

The druggist must adjust himself to
the new conditions or he cannot sur
vive. Pharmacists OF today cannot
rest on memories of the past. New
problems as they present themselves
must be grappled with heroically."
The speaker in conclusion said that
the druggist must be a better pharm-
acist in the future than in the past.
He must demand better quali6ca-
tions in apprenticeship; better
pharmacy laws. The average pharm-
scy law Of today is farce, Mr.. Eu-
gelhard declared. Make it i'm po ssible,

macy laws. The pharmacist Of the
future must make his own prepare

only be q competent pharmacist, but
a good business man. Druggists
cannot work independently. They
must organize. said Me-. Eugelhard.
''emulate the tri-cities. And it will
afford me the greatest pleasure to
announce when return home that

the practice Of the patent medicine

resolved nothing in return. He said
the druggist should demand a rever-
sal Of the policy Of the patent medi-
cine men; If they refuse. defy them,
and make their own preparations.
Mr.. Engelhard's address was en-
Enthusiastically received. and at its
conclusion he was presented with

IN THE POTATO FIELD.

Level Culture Is Now Practfced by Lead
ing Potato Growers.
The faulty method Of killing potatoes
still common with some growers ~ the
occasion Of an illustrated description Of
the two methods, hill and level culture,
by Elias A. Long, in American Garden
ing. in his sketch the upper part rep
resents the plants Of a potato patch in
their relations to the contour Of the
ground just after killing up. Mr.. Long
writes:
1t is this billing up process to which
most decidedly object, because the dis
advantages greatly outnumber the ad-
vantages thereof First, there is the la
Dor. The dotted line, a, is supposed to
show the natural level, the billing up
involved raising the soil from below
this line and heaping it around the plant
above the ordinary level, no little job.
Second, potatoes thus billed suffer
more from drought than is the case in
fat culture First the superficial area
of surface exposed to corporations is
greatly increased. In order to realize
this it is only necessary to compare the
length Of the dotted line, A, with that
of the contour line, B, and yet, while
the surface thus exposed to evaporation
is greatly increased, quite an item with
us here in the midst of very dry times,
such increase does not count for any
thing in case of rain, for of course no
more rain falls in half acre killed than
on the same level Then in case Of a
heavy, quick shower the tendency would
be for the hills to shed the rain that

SUCCESSION OF SWEET CORN
For Connecticut Sweet Corn Trade-F For
Massachusetts summer Resort.


For Connecticut sweet Corn Trade For
Massachusetts summer Resort.
A succession Of sweet corn for the Con-
necticut trade was the subject Of a com
munication TO Rural New Yorker. The
writer said:
We do not depend on successive plant
ings, as oftenfimes the same variety,
planted 5, 10 or Is days apart on very
early ground, win often mature at prac-
tically the same time. Nothing viii kill
a corn trade quite so quickly as old,
tough corn. We think it just right when
the nail viii easily break through the
skin Of the kernel and it is full Of milk
OF the short varieties, like Cory, we
have the rows AZ to feet apart and
the hills ~ feet in the row. OF the tall
varieties we have rows 3 feet apart and
az to feet in the hill. Planting too
thickly Will give too many small and
imperfect ears
The reason why we prefer different
varieties is that people like a change.
The later varieties are usually of better
quality. For 500 ears per day we should
plant about as follows: Two quarts Of
First Of ALL quarts Of Early Essex, s
quarts Of Crosby's Early, quarts Of
Shakers Early, quarts of Potter's Ex-
celsior, s quarts of Stowell's Evergreen
aud quarts of Country Gentleman.
For the earliest get dry land, with an
eastern or southern slope. Get good seed.
Buy it in the ear if possible. If planted
too early, il is quite liable to rot, We
use stable manure largely, but little
fertilizer goes into every hill to give it
a quick start One Of the largest sweet
corn seed growers in this country once
told me, 1--WE catalogue all varieties of
sweet corn, bat sell more Stowell's
Evergreen than all the others put to-
gether.
A second correspondent writing, with
a Massachusetts, summer resort in view,
said: II would plant Cory and Crosby
as early as the season will permit, and
then once in ten days or two weeks
would plant Crosby for succession.
For my trade Crosby gives good satis-
faction, and / now plant no other kind
except Cory for very early. / plant
Crosby and Cory corn in rows 81 feet
apart, the hills of Crosby 3 feet and
Cory 2 feet apart in the rows, thinning
to four plants to the hill. If the land is
good, would suggest three-fourths acre
each of Cory and Crosby, planted May
/, and thereafter three-fourtns acre
Crosby once in about 70 days to insure
500 ears per day.
For market and profit it is best for
one to use only the two kinds named.
ION rich land Potter's Excelsior is ex
cellent, and Concord does pretty well.
The ears of both are larger than Crosby.
have good deal of hotel trade. and
the size of the Crosby just suits. Last
year the retail trade at a watering place
was much pleased with it. The larger
kinds Of corn, especially if the land is
rich, should be farther apart than Crosby
or Cory"

Fermented Honey.

In Langstroth S revised edition occurs
the following: IF any honey should
ferment, let no one think that it is
spoiled, unless it was really unripe and
has turned quite sour A slight amount
of alcoholic ferment can be evaporated
readily by melting the honey over water,
when the ferment escapes in the shape
Of foam AS this fermentation is caused
by the presence of unripe honey, some
of our friends succeed in entirely pre-.
venting it by melting all their honey
Immediately after granulation. The
melting evaporates all excess of moisture
contained in it, and we highly COM
mend this method.

great multiplication of their nun Der,
and, as another result of the uses to
which they are put, American Guilt

could not find profitable use devoted
several to the growing of potatoes. OF
course in rich soil and with abundant
warmth and moisture the crop was Wy

early as they could be brought from the
south and made fair profit by selling
