the Serving of Oranges-Convenien For

tector-App1e Hedgehog.

The orange is now regarded as stand
ard article of food, ranking next to the
apple. It is, however, a fruit that is
awkward to eat being SO full of juice.
The general way of serving an orange
at breakfast since the advent of the
pointed orange spoons is to cut it into
halves horizontally with the skin on

with the pulp and leave the fiber. With
d view to solving the problem of how
to eat an orange at the table the New
York Sun furnishes some methods that
please the eye as well as the palate.
This authority says:
The orange may be prepared prettily
for serving by. breaking the sections
apart and leaving them upon a strip of
peel. This is readily done by cutting
through the peel in two lines around
the fruit, leaving half inch band of
peel around the middle of the orange
and removing all the rest of the skin.
Cut the strip in one place and careful

spreading the strip of peel out fiat. Lay

wrung out of fresh water and laid over
the prepared fruit until serving time to
prevent the delicate skin covering each
section from becoming hard and dry.
With a few blossoms or green foliage
around the edge of the dish this makes
an attractive and refreshing picture upon
the breakfast table on an oppressive
spring morning.
In southern countries fork is stuck
into the stem end of the orange, and
the fruit is then peeled, leaving only a
circle of skin around the fork tines.
The oranges are heaped upon dish and
garnished with orange leaves. To each
guest is served laden fork, and he par
takes of the fruit, holding the fork in
the hand and eating the pulp, leaving
the pith upon the fork. This is an ex-
ceedingly pretty mode of serving the
fruit, but not graceful way Of eating
it, particularly if one happens to receive
an unusually juicy orange.
When serving birds, either broiled or
roasted, an orange salad is an excellent
accompaniment, and served upon the
same dish with the birds it makes de-
sirable garnish. Peel tart oranges and
cut them into thick slices. Remove the
seeds and sprinkle them with little
cayenne pepper, a suspicion of salt, some
oil and few drops Of lemon juice on

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Sheep and 1ambs-By the avera ge
trade of the week it was shown that
there was an uncertainty to the market
which was severely felt in some quarters
For instance the sheep and lambs trade
started out with the prospect of having
a light supply with just enough demand
to carry off the consignments, with the
prices of last week holding over firmly
These expectations proved incorrect
The arrivals came in heavily until there
was an immense supply of the sheep and
lambs stock on the market This
brought down the prices with a Jump.
and they fell fully one-fourth under
what they brought last week
Northern and eastern beef cattle
There was about the usual supply, with
u fair demand, and prices holding over
from last week. The sales We're small
and mostly in small lots.
Western beef cattle-The entire con-
signment went to the export trade and

in the list.
Veal calves-Calves were another stock
which held the steady prices Of a week
ago, and the sales were steady through
out the week The supply was slightly
decreased, but the demand was not

4 MOTHERS INFLUENCE.

1t is hard for young mother who
tendencies of her own youthful ma
ture to realize the influence she ex-
erts over her little ones. She is con-
tinually surrounded by critical imita
tors, who copy both her morals and
her manners. AS the mother is, SO
are her sons and daughters. If fam
lily of children are blessed with an in
telligent mother, who is dainty and
refined in her manners, and does not
consider it necessary to be one wo-
man in the parlor and an entirely diff
ferent person in her every day life,
but who is true mother, and always
tender, charming woman, you will
invariably see her habit of speech
her children. Great, rough men, and
noisy, active boys will always tone
down their voices, and strive to step
quietly, and to be more mannerly,
when she stops to give them a kind
word or pleasant smiles, for a true
mother will never fail to say and do
all the kind and pleasant things she
can that will in any way help to lift
up and cheer those whose lives are
shaded with toll and care. The moth
er of to day rules the world of to-
morrow. Think of it when you are
tempted to be fretful and impatient
and guard we'll your home treasures.

OUR FARMERS.
Value OF BARNYARD MANURE.

The real value of the accumulations
in the barnyard is beginning to be ap-
preciated. We have farmer readers
who have said to us that they didn't
believe much in barnyard manure.
They believed it made their land "too
rich.;' We really never. have seen
any land that was too rich. 1t might
be too rich for a particular crop II
highly MANFRED, but if the manure is
applied where it belongs, in a rota-
ton, there is no danger of land ever
getting too rich. Tt might make land
too rich for an oat crop to manure 1t
heavily, because it would make too
rank a growth of straw, but there's
the grass land that always needs just
the kind of growth that is objectiona-
BILE in case of oats. Put the manure
where it belongs, and no farm ever
makes too much of it. While the ma
nure pile is beginning to be apprec-
lated, there are great many who do
not know it's real value. They do not
appreciate the fact that if it is put in
the right place it means increased
Yields. and returns far exceeding the
cost of application. The reason why
there is failure to appreciate the
value of the barnyard accumulations
is because farmers have been for
long time accustomed to a very rich
and comparatively virgin soil, but
there never was soil SO rich that it
would not wear out by continuous
cropping without any returns being
made to it. Every comparatively
new country is slow to learn this. 1t
has the accumulations of centuries,
perhaps, to draw upon. Eastern
farmers had these accumulations, too,
and so did those of the South, but in
both sections commercial fertilizers
are now being used at cost that
would throw the Western farmer into
daSpair if he had to incur it.

HARD ON THE AMERICAN WOMAN

The fact that 80 per cent of the ac-
tions for divorce are brought by
women would appear to tell heavily
against the men of the country, says
Grace Anterior in recent number of
the Contemporary ReUieU, but as a
matter of fact, large percentage of
these divorces go by default, which
implies either collision Or Indifference
on the part of the delinquent. Many
men, it is estimated, permit the Of
Tending wife to bring the suit rather
than to disgrace her and her children.
Nevertheless the divorce revolution
has been brought about and is main
tanned by women.
The typical woman of the United
States today is a mental Anarchist.
The reasons for this are several. She
is composite of all the races of the
earth, if. not in blood, in point of view.
She is product of experimental de-
mocracy, and like her country, blindly
but fiercely striving for an ideal. She
has been thrown largely on her own
resources; unlike the women of the
old world, she has done her own think
ing.
She lives in an electrical atmos-
phere. She is a Ispoiled child. She
finds herself component part of a
life that is ever changing and changes
with it. She has come to regard her.
self as by far.the most important ele
ment in that life. She is child of the
hour, of the minute; she does not
strike roots. Her independence has
begot an abnormal amount of individ
uality.
Is this a Ematter for wonder that,
finding the man she has married un-
satisfactory, she losses him aside to
begin life anew? It might be argued
that many of the conditions enumerat-
ed apply equally to the men. But it
must be remembered that the latter
have less time to reason and analyze.
They are essentially race of ner-
vous, incessant workers; They seem
to be possessed by the idea that if
they pause to take breath the imper-
feet structure of their republic will
fall to pieces. Even the rich men die
in the harness.

In France they have simple arrange

is both decorative and useful, and
which might be adopted in American
country houses with advantage. 1t is
called window screen and consists of
a padded elongated square of velvet or
satin, either plain or decorated with
embroidery, which is hung in front Of
the lower sash of a window to keep out
the drafts. It is held in place by means
of small rings, covered with bow of

Convenient For Holding Flour.

One of the most convenient bins for
flour when closed looked like one of the
square doors in the pantry. 1t is SO ad-
justed that the knob and "catch' are at
the top, and it opens downward from
the top. The interior is wedge shaped,
its wooden sides thus gradually dimin-
ishing in size toward the bottom. In
good working order such a flour bin is
a boon, says Good Housekeeping, and
when the quantity of flour grows less
with use the decreasing size of the bin
admirably suits it's contents.

TILE DRAINAGE.

A subject that has been given less
consideration than it's Importance de-
mands is drainage, with special refer
ence to the use of tile. The advan-
tages of drainage are many and affect
the crops in dry as we'll as in wet sea-
sons. A writer in an exchange says
one point aimed at in tile drainage is
to lengthen the season of growth for
grain crops by warming the soil, as a
result of removing the surplus water.
Before the drainage we did not ex-
pect to get corn planted as early as
farmers owning rich warm bottom
lands, but our expectations have
been exceeded in this direction.
We are able to plant as early as any
now, if we wish, which brings to us
the advantage of being. able to get the
corn off in time for seasonable wheat
sowing in the fall.
We we'll remember in our boyhood
days, in preparing the plowed fields
for corn by narrowing, how the team
would rush over the low, wet places
to keep from sinking in the mud, and
how sometimes we plowed deep fur
rows to remove the surplus wa
ter<and make it more pleasant to
work the teams over these strips.
Now all this is changed; the dread of
working over these places and secur-
ing meager crops is changed to
pleasant expectancy when we think
of the ease with which this land is
cultivated, and the certainty of secur-
ing a good crop.
One of the main objects in thing
our land was that we might SOW Glow
er with degree of certainty that the
crop would perfect itself. We have
succeeded in this direction beyond
our expectations. Where the land is
under the influence of the tile we
have no more frost heaving, or lifting.
When we laid the foundation by tiling
for the improvement of one field, we
thought we would do we'll if we were
able in the future to secure 20 bushels
of wheat per acre, this being two and
one-half times what the field had
previously yielded. We have almost
doubled our expectations, having Sc
cured 80 bushels per acre, and are still
building on the foundation for a still
larger yield.

On nearly every farm is to be found
stock that will not pay the owner to
winter. It is folly to carry over stock
that will not pay for the work and
feed necessary during the cold months.
The work of running a dairy re-

employment on the farm. Every part
of the work must be performed every

as possible.
