A New Tomato Soup.

Rinse only lightly a small half-cup
of rice, and cook in two quarts of
salted water till the starch cells burst,
and you have pot of thick starch.
Stew the tomatoes for half-hour,
seasoning when first put on with
teaspoonful of salt, level saltspoon-
full of pepper, tablespoonful OF
sugar, medium sized onion, sliced,
three cloves, one small bayleaf ard
little nutmeg. Rub the tomato when
done through soup strainer into the
starch, and taste, to see if the
seasoning is right, adding salt or pep
per if necessary. Now add cup of
whipped cream and serve. There
should not be more than generous
quart Of the starch when boiled.

Picture of George ssHu,.-

George Eliot was at this time about
dfty, but looked years older. She wore
as she always did, plain silk dress 10,
night having white shawl about her
shoulders and light gloves in her
hand, being indeed dressed for the on
era. Some people have talked and writ
ten of the ugliness of this great wom-
an; this sort Of criticism recalls a fam
Gus scene in "NIiddlemarch. "Mr. Cas-
aubon has wart on his nose" said
pert little Celia to her sister. 81 dare
say he has" was Dorothea's dignified
rebuke, when certain people look at
him." And thus George Eliot in some
eyes was ugly because, forsooth, she
lacked dimpled cheeks, round eyes, and
pretty mouth! If hers was ugliness,
would we had more of it in the world! |!
When in speaking her large, usually
solemn features lighted up, positive
light would flash from them, a lumin-
osity irradiate, not her own person
only, but her surroundings. A sover-
eign nature, an august intellect, had
transported us into its own atmosphere.

Scattering Weed Seods

In putting down the weeds the first
essential thing is to stop the scatter
ing of the seeds. In the late summer
and autumn seeds are blown about
freely by the wind, and are carried
from one State to another by birds.
The ideal way is to cut down the weeds
before they go to seed; then neither
birds nor wind can scatter them. But
while every farmer might do this there
would still be enough weeds left in
abandoned places and along the road
sides to keep up the supply.
One of the most frequent methods
of spreading weeds is through the use
of manure that comes from unknown
sources. Manure that comes from
city stables is invariably free from all
weed seeds, but such fertilizer that
comes from the country is very apt to
contain the seeds of noxious weeds
that will germinate and spread as soon
as applied to the land. The Canada
thistle, pigweed, and innumerable
other pests of this character have
spread throughout the country through
the manure more than by the wind or
railroads. Manure full of weed seeds
is not worth the room it takes up, and
one cannot be too careful in avoiding
it. In the end it will cause more
trouble than it will do good. The
farmer who is so careless and shiftless
as to let weeds grow all over the ma
nure pile, and go to seed there, does
not deserve to find customer for it.
Yet this is often the case. Bagweed,
golden-rod and pigweed cover many a
pile of manure in this country, and
there is no effort made to check their
growth before they go to seed. In
the winter timo or early spring this
manure is spread over the cultivated
fields, with the weed seeds in it, and
the result is easily guessed. With a
little more care good deal of labor
might be avoided. Weeds should not
be allowed to mature anywhere, least
Of all those growing on or near the
manure heap.-W. E. Farmer, in
Wisconsin Agriculturist.

A comparative study of tables, com
piled on dietetic subjects, is full of
surprises to the uninitiated. 1t is not
generally known, for example, that
raw cabbage requires only an hour
and half for digestion, while the
same vegetable boiled takes four hours
and half, and ranks, consequently,
as one of the slowest to digest among
foods. Raw sweet apples, soured pigs
feet, fresh trout, boiled rice, venison
steak, fresh salmon are all desirable
foods from digestive point OF view
Roasted pork ranks highest on the
other side, taking five hours and a
quarter for assimilation, and compet-
ing with it closely in the same way
are roasted wild duck. boiled pork,
fried beefsteak, fowls, and, what is
surprising, vegetable soup. In food
values, too, statistics dispel many
carefully cherished notions. Oysters
and milk, to illustrate, are credited
with, respectively, only twelve and
thrteer. per cent. of nutriment, while
raw oils lead the list with ninety five
per cent. Raw cucumbers and melons
add little nourishment to the human
frame with their triding percentages
OF two and three.

To Make Tender a Tough Steak.

To transform tough piece of beef
steak into nutritious and tender one,
by method employed in many of the
first-class hotels and restaurants, pro-
ceed as follows: Into deep platter
put about three tablespoonfuls of vine-
gar and one ofpure olive oil, and lay the
steak on it several hours before it is
to be used, turning it every hour. If
the steak is to be used for breakfast
an excellent plan is to fix it the pre-
vious night and just before going to
bed turn it over and add a little more
vinegar and oil if the mixture has all
been absorbed. The steak should be
cooked without wiping it and then
seasoned with butter, pepper and salt
and garnished with slices of lemon
and parsley. y.-American Queen.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Every farm has place for sheep
that no other stock eau fill.
Thorough grubbing is the suresi
way of getting rid Of elder, sassafraa
and persimmon.
For want of sufficient moisture a
tree may starve with its roots in tho
midst of plenty.
Teach the young horses to walk
well, and good foundation is laid foi
the faster gaits.
2 For warts on horses, clip off the
wart and touch the place, just touch
it, with nitric acid.
One advantage in using the drill OF
seed sower is that the seed will be
distributed more evenly.
Always keep the plow sharp; il
makes better work and is easier for
both the team and plowman.
Glover pastured with pigs gives {,
better return than if made into hay,
Give the pigs a good pasture into
which to run, and they will be ready
to finish into first-class pork next fall
1t is true that billy goat is PFC
lection to flock of sheep at night,
where there are dogs about; but o
wide-awake COW is equally as good,
and she will do especially effective
service if she has young calf by hei
side.
