Vegetables Used i'll Winter.

The winter green vegetables are celery, onions, cabbage, spinach, Brussels sprouts and kale. The white or dried vegetables, such as potatoes, and the roots, beets, parsnips, carrots, salsify, and peas, lentils and dried beans should be cooked Ill unsalted boiling water. It is well known fact that vegetables containing casein, such as split peas, lentils and beans do not become tender when boiled in hard or salt water. The solvent part of pure soft water has a marked effect upon all vegetables, consequently the sum- mer vegetables, those which are young and green, should also be cooked in salt water to preserve their color and shape. Onions, when boiled in pure soft water, are almost tasteless, and all the lafter-salting will not restore the sweet saline taste and the aroma which they possess when boiled in salt water Ii the winter vege. tables become dry and wllsed soak them ID cold water before cooking, Do not aid salt, as it toughens 1 fhe fibre. The dried vegetables peas, beans and lentils. must bg soaked over night in pure cold { water These belong to the nj trogenous foods.

of the analysis placed on every sack, which is all ri,sht and good as far as it goes, bu how many farmers know what clements their soil need to produce the ops they are striving to raise and can intelligently select the fertilizer they need.
 And again we see farmers who seem to exercise no judgment in the kind of crops their land is suit ed to; a man who has a high, rol- ling, rocky farm will become dis gusted with cotton, and Say there is more money in wheat, and that he is going to dismiss his help and raise wheat with machinery. He buys drill and binder that never give him satisfaction, when he should have gone into fruit cul ture, or as someone puts it, "to Texas. i" "a
 l believe every farmer should know the elements that compose his soil, and should study and ana lyze the various crops, and find out which is best adapted. consid-- ering of course, whether the plant is suited to high or low land, and should be able to intelligently sup ply any deficiency with resort to commercial fertilizers. l have not noticed one in hundred points that could be brought to bear to show that agriculture should be taught in our public schools, but my aim is only to present the subject to the farmers for consideration, hoping some day to see all the public schools teaching the elements of practical farming. k.

Agricultural Education.

Special cor. Home and Farm:
 l have just read Commissioner E. F. Nesbitt's letter on this sub- ject, and wish that every farmer i'll the South would read and profit thereby. Statistics show that the city population of the South is in- creasing at a much more rapid rate than that of the rural popu- lation. l account for it in two ways: First, we are growing i'll manufactories faster than the city population is increasing by births, and hence have to draw OH the farms for laborers; and second, a great many who own good farms and have children of school age, are moving to town or city to avail themselves of the conveniences of up-to-date graded schools.
 Now don't understand me to de- cry the country public school as 8 failure, for It is not; in fact, I re- gard it ais one of our most import ant institutions, but it does lack q vital element, that of teaching the principles of agriculture.
 know we have agricultural col leges, but the principles of agri- culture should be taught in oul primary public schools, for the reason that not more than one in hundred boys that remain on the farm ever go to an agricultural school, and I believe I would be safe in saying not more than one in thousand. Who would em. ploy doctor or q lawyer who had commenced to practice without having made himself perfectly familiar with tho theory of hi profession at some institution oi learningf
 And not only should q doctor lawyer or farmer be well versee in the theory and underlying prin
 
 Ieiples Of his profession, but he should keep himself posted IS t the progress in his particular lin' l by reading the best perodlcal liter atnre. \ doctor that graduated ltwenty years ago, If he had no kept himself informed, IS not fl to practice, and if he does practiei l the undertakers world flourish i l his vicinity.

Bad Odors in Milk.


 It is a well-known fact and one which admits of no dispute, that 1 i'll order 10 manufacture a perfect article we must employ perfect material. This is just as true in the manufacture of butter and cheese as i'll any other article of commerce. Every man of any ex- perience knows that the open and avowed enemy of fine flavor in butter and cheese IS bad odors. These may be of great variety but are most likely to be these arising from something the cows have eaten or from surroundings ill the dairy or dairy house. No matter what the source, 1t Is sure that the best results are only possible by the eradication or elimination of such oders. No matter whether the milk is to be made up at home sent to the creamery or cheese fac tory, sold direct to consumer, or shipped directly to the city, it should be relieved of all deleter- ions oders. Every time a dairy man resorts to this practice he adds to h1s reputation for the pro- duction of . pure and wholesome food.
 The only absolutely sure way to rid milk of foul odors is by aerat- ing and cooling it. Simple cool ii4g vi #ili I ifett ifett sti suffice fl for the cool ing of milk without aeration thor oughly locks up and holds the odors. On the otber hand, the aeration of milk destroys and sets free the bad odors entirely. The best possible results are obtained by aeratIng and cooling the milk at one and the same time. --Elgin Dairy Report.

FARMERS in the northern state.

FARMERS in the northern states and in fact in the prosperous northwestern part of Arkansas are the money lenders. They .'furnish'' the merchant instead of the merchant furnishing them. They raise all of the meat, flour, meal etc, that is used on their IaFIIIs. zaFkaIs ssts cVtJ9H IaFHiers as class raise nothing but cotton. They sell theIr hogs and cattle to dr0vers who take it north to kill and pack it and then send it back down here and sell at all enormous profit. Our farmers haven't had time to raise anything at home but cotton. The time is nearing for marked and needful changes.

ON CHANGE
Conditions as Shown by transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, July 29.-The significant net
changes In most of the stocks are fair
indication of the neglected condition of the
days market. The prospects of early peace
with Spain, the assurance of cheap money,
and the already secured crops, are not suf-
ficient to induce buyers to take stocks.
Holders are equally averse to selling at the
existing level. Such a market naturally
invites aggression by the better element,
but the professional maneuver of selling
short some one stock or group of stocks
which is particularly vulnerable has again
and again failed to make any notable i'm
preston on the general list, which con-
tinues Inactive apparently waiting for busi-
ness conditions to change, either for better
or or worse. Dealers In stocks keep one
eye perpetually on the grain markets these
days. The granger roads reflected today
rains in the corn belt, but on the OTHER
hand the drift of the price of wheat away
down from the dollar mark, which was the
magic tombstone In all of last years bull
market, is one of the unsatisfactory ele-
ments In the outlook. 1t is only in response
and the granger stocks move together and
the dimensions of foreign crops are not
yet sufficiently defined to indicate what the
market for our surplus grains will amount
to. The dullness of today's stock market
was varied only by. the .manipulative
particularly Rubber and Sugar.
Sterling exchange showed heavy tone

Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, July 29-The generally dis
tributed rains and thunder storms last
night washed all semblance of bullishness
out of corn today. 1t appeared TO be taken
for granted that corn, like the belated sin
ner could be saved at the last hour. There
was plenty for sale at the opening at one
cent under yesterdays close. Country ac-
ceptances of cash bids were very large.
September closed 1hc lower on the day,
at 3311c bid
Lower Liverpool cables and fine weather
In the northwest started wheat lower. The
course of the price of corn was so decid-
eddy downward the first hour that wheat
had further decline in sympathy, There
was a very prevalent idea that while re-
cepts were running light, there was a
great abundance of wheat in the country,
and the trade acted as if the world could
be fed on ideas. Business as rule was
quiet and narrow. While weakness was
the chief feature, there was no especial
slump and the decline was slow and grad
ual. The close was nc lower In July, 1@c
in September. and 1Ad1asc In December.
Oats sympathized somewhat with corn.
although there was not enough cash de-
mand to keep them relatively steady. Sep
TENDER left off AGlssc down.
Small receipts and better prices at the
yards started provisions firm. The weak
ness in corn depressed prices for a cnie
but the market finally rallied near the close
on heavy buying by packers. Lard showed
an advance at the close of 10c; pork, 2lsc,
| and ribs &c.
