My Daughter Learned to Cook.
We used to have old-fashioned thin 8, like
hominy and greens,
We used to have just common soup, made
out of pork and beans;
But now its bullion, consomme, and things
made from a book,
And pot au feu and julienne, since my
daughters learned to cook.
We used to have piece of beef-just ordi-
nary meat,
And picked pigs feet, spareribs, too, and
other things to eat;
While now it's tillet and ragout, and leg of
mutton praised,
And macaroni au gratin, and sleeps head
Hollandaised.
Escallops la Versailles-a Ia this and a
la that,
And sweetbread a la Dieppoise-it's
enough to kill a cat!
But while | suffer deeply, I invariably
look
AS if were delighted cause my daugh-
ter's learned to cook.
We have a lot of salad things, with dress
ing mayonnaise
In place of oysters blue points, fricasseed.
dozen ways.
And orange roley policy, float and peach,
meringue, alas
Enough to wreck a stomach that is made
of plated brass!
The good old things have passed away, in
silent, sad retreat;
We've lots of highfalutin' things, but
nothing much to eat
And while l never say word, and al
ways pleasant look,
You bet I've had dyspepsia since my
daughters learned to cook.
Good Housekeeping.

The margin between the possibilities
and the actualities Of the average farm
garden is thing of goodly dimensions.
It is, naturally enough, a difficult thing
for the farmer to realize to what extent
of practical usefulness he may put a
single acre of ground provided he Is
willing and careful to bestow upon 1t
the right kind of attention. This, says
West Kentucky Farmer, Is so because
of the fact that in his farm work he
looks more to general results. But when
he comes down to work on a smaller
scale he finds things quite different. 1t
is only recently that committee took
upon itself to investigate somewhat as
to what was actually being done on
some of the small truck farms near one
of our large cities, and they reported
that one farm of forty acres yielded an
nually $4,000 worth Of fruits and vege-
tables; another of six acres yielded
$4,000; another of ninety acres yielded
$4,000, and another Of twenty acres
returned $4,000. These figures repre-
sent good receipts, but even after max
ing reductions for fertilizers and other
necessary expenditures, the net returns,
although not stated, were no doubt
handsome. Apart, however, from the
profits from exclusive truck farming,
the garden acre on the farm can be
made an important item in the domestic
economy of the home, if we take into
consideration all the expense attaching
to the purchase Of garden produce nee
essary to the health, comfort and we'll
being Of the family.

To Make the Farm Paw.


One of the greatest hindrances to
profitable farming is desire to go too
fast at first, and to purchase things one
could get along without. The obllging
agents tell you that you need not trou-
BILE about the money: your note will do
just as well; but you will find that you
must pay big interest for the privilege
of going into debt, and you are always
at disadvantage with your creditor.
Have the money ready to pay and
you can then make your half Of the
bargain. Take good care for your farm
and your stock, and they will furnish
the money for the necessary OUTLAWS.
I will just say to young men who ex-
pect to make farming their occupation,
that they may expect hard work and
plenty of it, and they will not need to
join any baseball nine for exercise; hut
IL they take care of their health and
habits it will not hurt them. have
tried it for over sixty years, and am
to-day a wen-preseryed man. I can
truly say that with the blessing OF our
Heavenly Father upon the labors of
myself and family, / have made farm
ing pay, and what have done others
can do.-John Laramour, before Bloom

tons herewith show how wheels may
be made serviceable by constructing a
barrel wheelbarrow and reel for fence
wire. The barrel wheelbarrow is sim
ply barrel on wheels, balanced so that
it will tip easily. The hooks in front
are for shovel and hoe to hang ON.
For many purposes this is better for
farm work than are ordinary wheel
barrows. A heavier load can be car
ried. The wheel reel for fence wire is
made by taking two wheels of light
wagon attached to their axle. Place

Feed for Bone and Muscle.


In feeding all young animals thrifty
growth is much more important than to
fatten them. Many people suppose that
the only way to lessen fat is to restrict
diet until near starvation point. But
they find by trial that if the food given
contains the fat-forming nutrition, re-
stricting it's amount makes what is Civ
Ell so much better digested that the
fattening process goes on as before. A
far surer and better way to accomplish
what is wished is to give food plentiful
ly, but not of the kind that builds up
fat, and especially to give what makes
bone and muscle. 1t is for this reason
that wheat bran and wheat middlings
are so valuable for feeding. They will
not fatten if fed moderately with hay,
straw or roots, and they will keep young
stock thriftily growing.

SDiced Cranes.

Take ten pounds of ripe grapes. Pop
them from the skins and cook in pre-
serving kettle until the seeds can be
pressed out in a colander. In the mean
time cook the skins in very small
quantity of clear water until they are
tender. Put all together in the preserv-
ing kettle. and add four pounds Of
brown sugar, onehalf pint cider vine
gar, two tablespoonfuls of ground Gin
namon, one tablespoonful ground cloves
and cook slowly until quite thick-prob-
ably it will take over one hour, and will
need constant watching to prevent
burning. This will keep any length of
time, and can be sealed or not.

Old Wheels Made Useful.

Don't throw away old wheels; they
can be put to as good use, sometimes,
as they were on the vehicles on which
they were bought, as frequent and
varied illustrations in Farm and Home

veniences can be made during early
spring so as to be ready for the first out

Keeping Tomatoes.

Experiment Station, writes the Garden
and Forest that when frost is imminent
he gamers the green tomatoes, wraps
them separately in paper (old newspa-

the object being to keep them and not to.
ripen them. Then, as the fruits are
wanted, few Of them are brought out
at a time and placed in a warm position,
where they will ripen in few days. In
this way he has kept his table supplied
with sliced tomatoes UP to midwinter.

The years are passing by!

The years are passing by!
Times record hath such pages blurred,
With hasty deed, with bitter word,
Such sad mistakes mark all Iife's years
We scarce can read, because of tears.
We see dead faces on the walls,
We hear dead voices in the halls.
We touch some hands on Bonded knee,
We kiss some lips we cannot see
The years are passing by!
:. -
The years are passing by!
They carry With them as they go
The rain, the sunshine and the SNOW;
They leave behind the drift of days
wherein each soul some penance pays;
Some hopes we have, but not our own!
Some loves we CHERISH not alone;
And there are leaves and faded flowers
THAT tell sad tales in memjouy's hours.
The years are passing by!
The years are passing by!
The seal of silence ON our lips
We closer press. Times umbra dips
To deeper darkness down the lane
Through which we walk to hide our
pain.
We smile and smile, as one who bears
A life untouched by grief or cares,
But, when in solitude we wait
We bow our head at SORROWS gate.
The years are passing by!
The years are passing by!
Another joins the passing band!
Oh, is there not some other land
Where compensation for all ills
The measure of life's being fills?
We wait the answer, but in vain;
The shadow fails; sense of pain
Rests on us wheresoe' er we go,
And whispers of the sod and snow.
The years are passing by!

Lemon Sauce.

One cup sugar and three heaping tea
spoonfuls of corn starch, mix well. add
two cups of boiling water and cook
eight or ten minutes, stirring frequent
ly. Add the grated rind and juice Of
one large lemon, and tablespoonful Of
butter, and serve at once. If the water
boils away and the sauce becomes too
thick add little more hot water.
The above recipes are from the Amerl-
can Kitchen Magazine, a fact which is
sufficient guarantee Of their excellence.

THE YEARS ARE PASSING RY.

We watch, as from an open door
Their passage Through times corridor;
Each shadow, in it's falling, slopes
Across the graves of buried hopes;
The pulse of being slower beats
Through winter SHOWS, through sum
mer heats,
AS faith and hope and love grow cold
AS We grow Old, as we grow old!
The years are passing by!
