Blanching Celery.

In the market garden all sorts Of
schemes have to be followed to save
labor in blanching the PLAINTIFF art of
removing the natural bitter quality. At
times the plants are set close together
SO as to partially shade one another,
and finally boards are set upright
against the plant in the rows. At other
times albino varieties are employed that
seem blanched because they develop, no
green or chlorophyllous matter in their
structure. But the bitter taste remains.
To have good celery the process Of
earthing up must be continuous. It
requires very rich soil, and if plenty
of water can be given so much the bet
ter, says Meehan's Monthly.

Forgot Her Wedding Day.

The married man was hurrying down
the steps from the elevated station:
the other man, the friend who had
stood by him as best man six years
before, was hurrying up the same
steps. Necessarily they met.

rushed on up to his train and the
other hurried down to the street.
But on the evening when the two or
three friends came in to celebrate, the
best man who was didn't put In an
appearance.
Its very strange. You are quite
sure you told him to come?'' asked
the wife of the married man.
But he was SO sure on that score
that the mystery remained unex-
planned.
II never knew him to forget an en-
gagement," sighed the woman, as she
looked at the vacant chair, and
thought how nicely she might have
filed it had she but known in time
that he was not coming.
The next evening, however, found
her resentful. ut seems to me-" she
said, ''that he might have let us know
by this time if anything detained
him.

The report of the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture says where hand labor
Is plenty the standard price for cutting
corn by hand is cents per shock four
teen by fourteen hills square, without
board, or 80 cents per acre. as there are
sixteen shocks of this size per acre.
Corn should always be cut on bright,
clear days, or on such day as is good
to cure hay in. Two men should work
together, and the shocks should be
started on jack, which is made by put
ting two legs, well braced together,
near one end Of 1O-foot scantling, and
having an anger hole near the upper
end for a broom handle. AS soon as
four armfuls are set up against the jack
the shock should be loosely tried with
stalk and the jack removed. AS soon
as the shocks have thoroughly cured,
say two weeks after cutting, those that
are to be stored in the barn should be
baled under 5000 pounds pressure and
tied up with wire Common hay-baling

and pulley and tied with binding twine;
the Irvine should be saturated with coal
oil to prevent mice and insects from
destroying it. Eminent professors have
agreed that it only takes one and half
inches Of rainfall to wash all traces Of
digestible matter out Of shock of al
falfa, and corn shocks are also affected,
but not to SO great a degree. They have
also agreed that well-cureu corn fodder,
put under a good roof without having
had any rain on it, is in every respect
just the same as ensilage, except the
water content, and it is only necessary
to cut it and add water to secure food
identical to ensilage without the cost
of silo, with it's short life, and also
without the 20 to % per cent waste that
mold causes in the corners of the silo.-

Drinking cold water when one has g.
cold coming on is one of the best RENE
dies, because it stimulates the system
and helps to wash out poisons formed,
in the body. Living on fruit for two or
three days and drinking hot or cold
water freely, with milk for nourish-
ment, will often cure an ordinary cold
If taken in time. The old proverb'
"Stuff a cold and starye fever" is a
contradictory one, for a cold is fever.
People suffering from cold and con-
tinuing to eat heartily Of beefsteak,
mutton chops, roast pork and similar
foods are simply adding fuel to the
flames as surely as one pours oil on a
fire. Such heating food stimulates the
morbid processes at work in the body,
and far from curing the disease makes
it worse.

Bread Making.

I use bakers yeast or some of my
own make. Generally make sponge
during the morning and let stand until
evening. In winter make the bread
with warm water, slipping into stove
when it has cooled after supper. In.
summer make with cold water and set
in cool place to rise. Early in the morn
ing work over, adding little sugar and
soda, set back on table to rise the Sec
ond time. When | wish rolls for break
fast take piece Of dough before mold
ing loaves and make rolls, putting on
front of stove to rise, and can soon
bake Failure In breadmaking Is a thing
Of the past with me. With nice rolls

trouble to get nice breakfast In lit
tie time.-M. Davis.

Smaller Farms.

We believe that no small part of our
farmers are "land poor" not in the
sense that the term is often used. that
they have much land that does not pro-
duce enough to pay the taxes and in
terest on the value, though some Of
them are even that badly off, but many
have much more land than they can
cultivate as it should be, and more than
they can keep up near to its proper pro-
ductive condition. They may use most
Of it in some way, and think they get
an income from it, but large share Of
those who really make money at farm
ing make it upon but a small part Of the
farm. A few acres of meadow near
the barns, the orchard and the garden
are profitable. For the rest, if they
solo it or rented it to some one who
would put fertilizer and labor on it and
produce as much on one acre as is now
produced on three. it would be more
profitable to the present owner, and to
the buyer or renter. More small farms,
more intensive farming, and closer look
ing after the best possible results from
smaN acres are what we need.-Ameri-

projecting roof affords all the protec-
ton needed for cattle in southern lati-
tudes. For cotton seed the throat Of
the hopper should be six inches wide,
with three inches between the opening
and bottom of trough. For corn or oats
a three-inch strip can be placed central
ly under the throat to prevent too free
flow Of grain. The inclined walls Of
the hopper should be supported at in
tervals with 2 by pieces extending
from trough to rafters.

Steamed Pudding.

TO make steamed pudding, take one
cut of fine cake crumbs and rub into
them with the fingers a level table,
spoonful of butter; add one gill of mo-
lasses and three-quarters of cup of
sour milk in which half teaspoonful
Of soda has been dissolved. Beat one
egg light and add it to the other ingre-
dents with one cup of -four, few cur
rants and spices to suit the taste. Turn
the mixture into a buttered pudding

Hessian EIy Solved.

The Hessian fly problem has been
solved, according to newspaper re-
ports. A farmer in the central part of
Missouri thinks he has discovered how
to keep the fly out Of his wheat at
moderate expense. Just as wheat was
coming up last fall, he scattered COM
mon salt over half field, leaving the
other half without any. He used about
q bushel of salt to the acre. He says it
worked like charm. The part Of the
field sailed has good stand Of wheat,
entirely free from fly, while the other
half is badly damaged. Another man
says he prevented damage from fly by
sowing barrel of air Stacked lime on
fifteen acres as soon as the wheat came
up, repeating the process at intervals
of a few days.

The Useful Onion.

Onions are kind of all-around good
medicine.
It all comes from the property pos
sessed by the onion, and that is form
of opium.
A whole onion eaten at bed time will
by the next morning break the severest
cold, Inflammation and hoarseness.
If an onion is smashed so as to secure
all a5e juice in it, it will make most
remarkable smelling substance that
will quiet the most nervous person.
The strength of it inhaled for few
moments will dull the sense of smell
and weaken the nerves until sleep is
produced from sheer exhaustion.
