March IN wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa

March In Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa
and the Dakotae, which says:
Upon the'whole the season is back
ward at the close of March, the month
having been very unfavorable for farm
ing operations. In the Dakotas, Ne
brsske, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin
the ground is frozen to an unusual
depth, the frost extending to depth of
from five to ten feet in North Dakota
and Minnesota. While the average
temperature of March. was somewhat
above the normal in the southern states,
the season in that section is reported
from two to three weeks late, except in
Texas, where it is more nearly normal.
The report adds: The general con.
dition of wheat is less favorable than at
the close of February, and as at the close
of that month the late sown is less
promising than that seeded early. On
the Pacific coast the outlook is most
promising in Oregon, and the crop has
been greatly benefited by recent rains
in Cali 'ornia, but in Washington it has
been injured by severe weather and lack
of snow protection.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Preparation of Salads or Greens - A Lovely workbasket - How to
 Prepare n Meal Ball.

Perhaps the most important step in the,preparation of salads or greens for tbe,tahle is their conscientious wash ing. leaf by leaf. The accidental stumbling on a gravel path in the spin Rch or an encounter with stray slug or worm in the heart of the lettuce is not conducive to appetite. At least three waters should be used in the washing. and each leaf should be sean ned with eagle eye. Beet greens espe- cially are open to suspicion and should be examined in strong light. In wash ing all the greens the best plan IS to put the whole quantity in a small tub or large pan of water. plunge them up and down to rinse of the sand and allow 1t to fall to the bottom. Then lift the greens out handful by handful and lay them in second tub of clear, cold water. Never attempt tc drain the water of or the sand which has fallen to the bottom will settle back on the leaves. Repeat the process two or three times. and when you are 'ure they are perfectly clean look them over once more. It is needless to say that greens shonld not be ordered for the day when housekeeping. washing or ironing is on the docket. as their preparation IS or necessity matter of time.
