To Make Cocoa .

Cocoa is really delicious beverag,
If properly made, but In nine cases
out OF ten ii is spoiled in the process
The secret in preparing a cup OF cocoa
lies in adding no more of the powder
than is essential. The milk which is
used to make it should not be diluted
II the cocoa is 10 be nutritious and pal
atablc Not more than half teaspoon
ful Of cocoa should be used 10 the cup
and it is absolutely unnecessary TO first
mix the cocoa with a little milk OF
water, as most people are in the habit
cf doing
After you have put the milk in Q
double boiler on the fire, sprinkle the
cocoa on the top Of the milk, and as
soon as the latter is lukewarm stii
in the cocoa, which will dissolve I'M
mediately. Cocoa does not mix wei
IN a cold liquid, and it will lump in
milk that is too hot. Boiling cocoa

its taste and aroma.-Amer.car

Honsing Farm ImpleInents.

The good farmer Is supposed 10 clean
and house all farm implements as soon
as he has finished using them each
day, but many do not do this. They
should devote at least one day to the
work Of collecting them, rubbing the
rust Off, Oiling the iron work, and put

to go over the wood work with a coat
Of paint. DO this before the snow
comes, and when the tools are wanted
for use next spring, and they are found
all ready and In good condition, this
will prove one Of the best days work

Captain Gable suggested that mice

The Making of Puddlngs.

Only the best materials should BE-

the same rules observed in their prep

should be sfted, the eggs beaten sep
arately the yellis strained and the
whites added last. \ pinch Of salt
improves all puddlngs.
Steaming is the most wholesome
method Of cooking a pudding. Put on
over a vessel of cold water, and do not
uncover while cooking, else the pud.
ding will be heavy. A pudding that
is to be baked must be put into the
oven as soon as mixed. If it cooks too
fast it will become watery. Many
cooks prefer using mOlds or basins for
boiled puddings, but they will be much
lighter If boiled in a cloth and allowed
plenty of room to swell. This cloth or
bag should be made of very firm cot
ton drilling, taperng from top to bot.
tom with rounded corners. The seams
should be stitched and felled and the
edges hemmed. Sew a piece Of stout
tape to the seam about fingers length
from the top. 1t must be kept scrupu.

cooking. When done plunge for mo.

Generally gentlemen do not care to
appear In public without the usual
coat and vest. In warm weather this
extra vest is annoying and men fire..
qucntly resort TO the cXpcdicnt of sim
ply unbuttoning it, and permitting II
to remain in this unsightly condition.
by using the garment shown I'm the
illustration the vest may be dispensed
with whenever desired, and when not
in use is practically entirely out OF
view. nothing being visible which
would indicate that the coat is II com.
bination garment. The idea is to at.
tach the front half of vest to the
inside of the coat at the side seams,
enabling the wcarcr to turn the fronts
back and insert them in pockets In the
rear of the coat. The advantages of
Il garment of this construction for
use in warm weather will be obvious.

Zee Keeping For Farmers.


We have not been an advocate Of any
one going into beckecping Oh large
scale until II had first been demon
stratcd that the venture had been war
ranted. Better begin with n colony or
two and grow up with the business
Success Is usually attained in this
manner and If your locality Is good
and You are especially adopted To the
business II Is an easy matter to grow
and much better than TO offer later u
large lot of secondhand appliances for
sale cheap. We have always been an
earnest advocate Of bee keeping as one
Of the industries of the farm. Every
farmer should produce what honey he
can for his own use If not for market.
Honey Is recognized ms healthy arti-
Gle of food, can be produced cheaply
by the average farmer, and we know
of no class who are better entitled to
this delicious article on the table than
the hard working farmer, ana he has
only to secure the service Of the little
busy bee to gather and store ii for
him. Please do not conclude when you
have secured the colony and placed 1t
in some convenient position on the
farm your labors are over until the
crop Is to be gathered. Not SO. Bees
need possibly less care than most any
industry, but what they need must he
given at the right time and in the right
manner. Carcfulncss, gentlcness and
observation are some of the most cs-
sential elements of success In this
branch of our industry, and these put
into practice are pretty sure to bring

In the heart OF Vermont, in the shad.

sepulcher erected by devoted wealth,
at the cost Of many thousands Of dol

the name OF Cuttingsville stands only

An opulent New Yorker had sought
solitude in this picturesque village for
several summers, and had built for his
use a splendid mansion. But his last
loved one was taken away by death,
and the only consolation remaining
was TO leave his history in marble.

magnificent memorial 10 his family,
which Is now visited by tourists from
all parts Of the country.

n corn reaper because II did not cut
close enough 10 the ground. The
sIaine Farmer says that In well-grOwn
corn the lower six inches Of the stalk
represents a ton OF fodder 10 the acre,
which may be one-tenth OF the crop.
Chemists have told US that the stalk
below the ear Is much more valuable
in food elements per ton than that
above the ear, and when reduced by
