YOUNG DAIRY MOTHERS.
Rhy They should he Carefully

The practice on the Brown Bessie
farm is to have heifers drop the first
calf at about two years of age, says

Jersey or Guernsey comes to maturity
earlier than the beef breeds do, and
should be bred nearly year younger.
1t is certainly much better for the
dairy breed heifer to begin her life
work as soon as the age of two years.
If she is well grown as she should be
at two years, she is all right to begin
business. If allowed to 60 another
year, she will be liable to become quite
fat, and her dairy tendencies will be
diverted toward the production Of
beef. / am of the opinion that heifer
will develop into a better COW at ma
turity by coming to the pail at two
wears of age. If hCifer should be two
years old any time from December 10
to January 30, and was well grown, l
would breed her to frcShen the early
part of November previously. This in
Wisconsin would bring her to milk be-

ABOUT ASPARAGUS.
Several Ways of Cooking This Highly
Esteemed Vegetable That
Are Right.

Asparagus is one of the Oldest
vegetables that come upon our tables.
It comes, like some other vegetables
which have also apparently outgrown
their Indigenous habits, from the
sea. The epicures of Greece and 9TH
err countries bordering on the Medi-
terranean gathered wild asparagus
for their tables directly from wild
beds located on the shore. The only
correct way to serve the vegetable,
saws the New York Tribune, is to ex-
anime each stalk, scrape it down.
ward from about an inch from where
it enters the ground, and then tie the
stalks firmly together, stand them IN
a rather deep covered pot so the ex-
IRENE tips of the bunch are not in
the water, and let them boil steadily
in this way for 20 to % minutes. The
asparagus tips by this method are
cooked by the steam. Dish the as
paragus the ms tant 1t is tender.
Asparagus is sometimes baked with
cheese. Put a layer of grated Par
mesan cheese between layers OF as
paragus which has been boiled about
Is minutes. Cover the asparagus
with grated cheese. Prepare cream
sauce. or, better still, good Hol-
landaise sauce. Pour ii over the lay
ers of asparagus. Add soft bread
crumbs and set the dish in the oven
70 brown for * Minutes
Asparagus laalles a most delicious
cream PURGE soup. 1t also makes
one of the most satisfactory salads
when it is chilled after being boiled
and dressed with a simple French
dressing. 1t is served in lengths,
never cut to pieces for this purpose.
For soup, the lower ends of the as
paragus stalks, which are sometimes
cut off and thrown away, are cooked
in white stock until tender and
pressed through a PURGE sieve. This
makes a green PURGE of asparagus,
in which little whipped cream and
sometimes half a cup of asparagus
tips are served.

OLD BEN, AMBULANCE HORSE.
Heard the Gong of an Automobile
Ring and Went Over His
Old Route.

Old Ben, an ambulance horse, who
was dispensed with by the police de-
partment after supposedly OUTLYING
his usefulness, made his second bril-
liant performance when he ran away
in Edgemont, says the Canton (OO
News-Democrat.
Ben has been doing duty as an or
binary delivery wagon "hoss" recent
", and while standing at the corner
of Cincinnati and Washington streets
heard the gong of an approaching au-
tomobile. Supposing that it was the
ambulance and that his services were
needed, Ben flew off at a terrible speed,
never stopping until he reached the
St. Elizabeth hospital at Hopeland
street, where he drew up in front of
the institution as of old, but with
nothing hut shafts dangling behind.
En- route Ben had brought thousands
of people to the curbstones, and he
left destruction in his wake. Faithful
Old Ben, conscientious and energetic
despite his age, escaped unscathed and
was taken in charge at the hospital by
gentle hands.
Several months ago Ben happened in
front of the Main street engine house
when an alarm was sounded. The
noise Of the gongs awakened the old
time feeling in the animal, and he ran
several miles, beyond control of the
driver, who finally guided him into a
fence. His last remarkable run Gov
cred a mile, and Old Ben knew every
foot of the route.

THE DISGUISED HENS.
Were Set by Their Owner on EGGS
That Could Hardly Have Yield
ed to Their Best Efforts.

A certain well-known real estate
dealer who lives out on Cedar avenue
is very fond of his garden and of his
household pets, and more especially
of his chickens. This special fondness
was the means of involving him in
an Easter joke that is quite too good
to ep-although the real estate man
himself may be of the opinion that it
should be preserved as carefully as
any other family secret, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t appears that the lady of the
household boiled a large number OF
eggs in honor of the day, and for the
special delectation of the children, and
after placing them in basket set
them away in the cellar. A little later
the man of the house suddenly took it
into his head that he would "set" two
of his favorite hens. So he went down
cellar to secure the eggs, and noticing
the basket, took out enough for two
settings, and carried them out to the
barn. He arranged them all right,
and when he turned away the hens
had started in on their long task. But
he happened to look back as he neared
the house, and then he noticed that the
hens were very much disturbed about
something. They were scratching and
pecling at the eggs, and clucking in
a highly offended manner. He went
back and tried to soothe them, but
instead of being reconciled they flew
away, squawking angrily. He went
back to the house and said: 81 don't
understand what's the matter with
those blamed hens. can't make them
set"
1t was suggested to him that per-
haps they didn't work on holidays, and
just then the lady of the household
appeared from the cellar and wanted
to know who had disturbed the eggs
she had placed down there in basket.
"Eh!" cried the real estate man.
"Why I took some eggs to set those
hens-but they won't set"
"The eggs I mean," said the lady,
"were boiled"
"Whatl" cried the head of the house,
"b-b-boiled!"
And that explained the mystery of
the insulted hens.

No More Mothers Cooking.

"The pies that mother used to
make" the longing for maternal
cooking on the part of young hus-
bands. to the great annoyance of
their inexperienced wives, is rapidly
becoming a thing of the past, to live
only in song and jest. In these adj
vanced days very few mothers do
any cooking, and therefore few are
preparing their sons to sometimes re-
mind a young wife of those "beauti-
full light biscuits" This is surely
n gain. and the bride of to-day has
and more so the bride of next week
will have-reasOn to be thankful TOR
the change. What a relief not to
have mother-in-law's cooking re-
ferred to! How many mothers OF
young men of your acquaintance do
my cooking? Very few even occa-
sionally make cake. In the cities the
professional bakers do all this work,
and mother devotes her energies to
other matters. If she has very little
means she will hire a cook and take
ND some other line of work to earn
the money to pay her. Even in the
rural districts and in cases where
ONE it was supposed the wife must
do the cooking she finds it real econ
omy to nire a cook and give her time
to managing, directing and other EN-
ployment.-N. Y. Herald.

HAS A SOCIAL SIDE,
The Good Roads Question Is Not 4"
Mere Financial Proposition, as
Many Suppose.

On the "social side" of the road
question w. H. Moore, of st. Louis,
Mo-, president of the National Good
Roads association, writes;
The common roads of country are
not only necessary to its develop
ment, but their condition is a meas
ure of its civilization. The highest
type of mental and moral culture
and development cannot be attained
without the means of easy and rapid
communication between all parts and
sections of the country. The rail-
way and telegraph lines are the great
modern civilizers of the world; but
they are limited in their sphere Of
usefulness, because they do not reach
the farm, the home, the country
schoolhouse and church, The eom'
mon road is the connecting link be-
tween these, and without it the prog
ress of a widespread civilization must
of necessity be greatly retarded.
They are the foundation stones upon
which the superstructure of society
is erected and upon which its sym
metry, beauty and stability must
rest.
1t has been stated by eminent
writer's that railway and telegraph
lines, with the wonderful commercial
enterprises they make possible, are
in the end detrimental to country
that has no proportionately adequate
system of common highways, because
of their tendency to longest the pop
ulation by drawing the intelligent
and ambitious portion of the country
youths to the cities and centers OF
commercial enterprise, until the av-
enues of that class of labor are over
crowded, the wages of labor de-
creased by undue and unnatural COM
petition, and the surplus set adrift
without the means of livelihood, to
become beggars and criminals, in
stead of delving in the soil from
which the primary wealth Of the
world is secured, and in which avoca-
ton there has never yet been a sur
plus of labor,
Then, too, it is the youthful, in
telligent, rugged and ambitious who
are thus being coaXcd from the farm,
whose society Is needed to stimulate
the sluggish, who are always content
to see the worlds great cavalcade go
bv while they remain in slothful iso-
lation. If these conditions continue,
there is danger of a barrier being
built up that will destroy that SYM
pathy, intelligence and cooperation
that are so necessary in our mutual
ly dependent condition.
Neighborhoods, counties and states,
separated from each other by bar
riers of practically impossible roads,
in their loneliness degenerate into
a condition of moral stagnation from
which it is difficult to arouse them to
a common and mutual interest and
understanding -

TO CAN TREE ANTS.
Tnsccts Found in the Woods of the
Northwest May BE Pat Up rs
Condiment.

"Some enterprising dealer in canned
roods could make small fortune"
said a visiting lumberman, reports
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
"by going into the northwest and
putting up tree ants as a condiment.
No, I'm not joking" he continued,
"and what's more, the product would
need no introduction TO the people
Of that region. All through the lum-
Der districts Of Minnesota and Wis
consin ants are regarded as a great
delicacy, and the only trouble is that
they can't get enough of them. l
don't know why it is, but men who do
hard manual labor in cold climates
acquire a strong craving for some
thing sour, and the big, brawny
choppers and transfers found out
long ago that ants were a palatablc
substitute for pickles. They use only
a peculiar variety, large and red in
color and found in immense quanti-
ties under the bark of dead trees.
