ing the beetles in check. Good culti-
vation and repeated hoeing are abso-
lutely necessary, but the vines III
these operations, as well rs in picking,
should be disturbed as little as pos
sible. 1t is the large number OF
marketable pickles which is wanted
rather than large size ofthe individual
pickle. The size most in demand is
three inches in length. The moro
promptly we pick the three-inch size,
the more pickles the area will furnish.
and therefore the greater the returns
and profits. An experienced grower
says IN Michigan Farmer:
The lager the number grown on
n given territory the more profit, hence
they should be picked very close. The
bulk of the crop should be of the
smallest or medium size Those over
looked can he utilized, but tho fewer
the better, aud none must be allowed
to mature. Care must he taken to dis
turb the vines as little ~ possible: in
this regard children with their bare
feet are preferable to grown people.
aud orr experience leads us to believe
that children can, quite as easily as
grown-ups, be taught to pick them
clean"

Courage in Warfare.

There can be little doubt but that
the character of modern warfare anu
modern weapons develops the highest
types of personal cou.age. The ter
rible destructivcness of the quick fire
Maxim guns, the long and deadly
range of the newest rifle, and the de.
vastatiou of the torpedo, all cali forth
moral courage which was unneces-
sary in the days of fierce hand hand
conflict.
The courage required to cody work
machine guns amidst hurricane of
bullets, or to dash across a. uncov-
cred tract of country where every inch
is plonghod with shot, and the mathe-
-matical possibilities of escape are in
finitesimal, is of much higher type
than that requisite in hend-to. hand
struggle with knife or spear, sword or
lance.
The first calls for moral courage,
the secondly only animal courage.
When the lust Of fight and the heat of
battle makes mans blood ran riot, he
will struggle with his fellow man with
all the pluck that is in his nature
Two dogs will do virtually the same.
Seize one of the dogs, he will turn on
you piuckily. Stone him, the proba-
bility Is that he bolts.

Carc az nIa Churns.

We would advise buying new
churn rather than trying to sweeten
the old one after five years use. After
so long n time exposure 10 sudden
changes of temperature, IA from cold
water To scalding hot, the churn is
sure to have cracks in il which will
harbor impurities that it is hard to
find germicides to remove. \ very
small particle of cream lodged in the
crevices OF an old churn very quickly
swarms with bacteria. In caring for
churns it is far too common to use
scalding water first. This sets the
albumen in milk, which il deposited
in a thin film which scalding water
will not remove. The true way il to
thoroughly wash ont the inside of the
churn so as to remove every particle of
milk, which by churning has been
made into m emulsion. and is finely
divided as the butter fats are separ-
ated from it,. Then use water moder-
ately warm nj first. and increasing in
heat until the hand cannot comfortably
be borne in it. This will be TEN
perature of 100 TO 165 degrees. and
will clear ont all traces OF bacteria, so
long IA the inside is free f'om GREY
ices. When n churn begins to show
crevices it is time to throw it aside and
get new one.

whnt TO i:,t ON Hot DAYS.


During the hot months" writes
Mrs. $. T. Rorer in the La hes Home
Journal, "thc diet should consist
largely OF dainty, cold, lean meat,
green, suc,uient vegetables, aud fruits.
1t is a popular fallacy that the free
use of sub-acid fruits during hot
weather causes disturbances of the
bowels No diet is more healthful
than ripe fruit provided it is properly
masticated aud swallowed before or
after bread and butter, but never
with it.
"The lighter wheat preparations,
such IA farina, wheatet aud gluten.
should he substituted for the heat
giving oatmeal for breakfast. Cook
enough one morning. to last two, as
they are just rs palatable cold as they
ARE hot. While friel food may seem
little ont of place in warm weather
there are certain little dishes that may
be utilized for breakfast. Cornmeal
or hominy croqucttes, or even rice
croIuettes, may be made the day be-
fore aud simply fried at serving time.
squash and cucumbers may be dipped
aul fried. In the chatting dish one
may have Clipped beef, cream or
fricasseed barbccued beef, cold NUT
ton wlrmed in little tomato sauce,
AMI dishes Of eggs, such os omelets,
'rambIed eggs, creamel eggs or
poached eggs.
Fruit should be served in n fiat
dish, with, if the weather is particu-
llrly hot, little chopped lee spriullled
over it. Fruit that is very acid should
not be served too cold. Powdered
sugar and cream should accompany
the fruit course. In the place Of chops
or steaks we may have egg plant,
broiled or fried tomatoes, PANIED to-
matoes, dainty omelet with peas,
omelet with asparagus tips, or with
parsley following the fruit Corn
oysters and corn fritters may also take
the place of meat. Coffee, tea, choco-
late and milk are, of course, in sum
mer, As in winter the breakfast beyer-
ages.

The Boats That Catch Herring.

The fleets of herring fishing boats
sailing ont of the ports of Great Britain
are grand sea-going craft, strong aud
swlit and able to stand the stormiest
weather. They are usually rugged with
two stumpy masts and carry enormous
square lugsails, which have to be
lowered and raised every time the
boats come about" In Scotland and
the English and Irish ports they are
called luggers, but in the Isle Of Man
have tue local name of "nickies."
In many cases the crews own the
boats, each man having n share; but
IN any case the fishermen have an in
terest III the amount of fish sold and
are paid according TO the results. 1t
Is a glorious sight to see these boats
racing home after good haul, the
hrst boat lii having the best market for
the fish.
1t Is not uncommon at Tarbot, the
headquarters Of the Loeb Prone boats,
Peel, in these Isle of Man, Penzance,
in Cornwall, and at some Irish ports
to see the fish taken away by carloads
to he used 10y the farmers for manure
MT times when an unusually big catch
has over supplied the market.
In many cases the crews own the
boats, are races organized by the
townspeople and visitors for these
luggors, and the interest IN the events
Is far more keen than in the finest
yacht races. Only recently Penzance
lugger was sailed by her crew to
Australia and made the passage in
wonderfully quick time The large
boats are manned by from twenty to
thirty men, the weight of the lugsails
making big crew necessity. In
most cases the sails are stained n
reddish brown, and distinguishing
letters and numbers on the sail tell to
what port the craft belongs.

To Handle Lettuce.

lettuce Salad-Lettuce forms a good
crisp salad that Is easily obtained ut all
tunes, and it should be found upon
the table once or twice n week from
early spring until frost; and there are
numerous methods of preparing it in

seems withered soak it in cold water
an hour before using, or half its flavor
will be lost, aud an otherwise tempt

An Oklahoma City enterprise has

was thought that the rapidly flowing
North Canadian River could be used
to operate all the mills that could be
placed ON its banks at Oklahoma Civ
The fall was nearly thirty feet and il
was expected that 1000 horse power
would bo developed. A canal five
miles long was constructed. nj mn ey-
peuse Of 3lO,O 900 II was diked part
Of the way and the river was crossed
twice. The canal is twenty five feet
wide and four feet deep. and when
four inches Of watcr was let i'm nj the
head gate an electric light plant and a
large Touring mill were run with coec
but an unsupported enemy soon caused
disaster to the enterprise. The banks
of the canal were of porous. sandy
soil and Rophers attacked the dixie.
the holes which the animals burrowcd
widcned into crevasscs and the snudv
bikes were easily swept away. causing
constant aud expensive repairs
Finally the entire canal became
wrecked, and farmers are now plowiu T
