Yellow and White Cornmen,.

1t Is important In any discussion or
cornmeal to refer to the difference be-
tween yellow and white meals. In the
New England States yellow meal is
used almost exclusively the white
meal being counted favorless In the
South, the region of the best cornmeal
dishes In the world the colored cook
holds yellow meal in utter contempt,
fit only for chicken feed" always re-
plying when asked about it: II makes
my con braid yellow with aigs." Now
the truth OF the matter is, the yellow
meal of New England is the equivalent
of the white meal of the South, owing
to the difference OF soil and climate
The stony soil of New England does
not produce rank growths like that Of
the West and South, but 1t has wonder
full qualities for imparting sweetness
and delicate fiavors to everything it
produces.--El Morris Kretschmar In
Good Housekeeping.

No member of grange should accept
an office therein unless he intends to at
tend the meetings regularly and to fill
the position to the best of his ability.
Promptness is an essential to success
in grange work, as well as everything
else. and the meetings should be open
ed at the bylaw hour All business
matters which members intend to In
troduce should be thought out in adj
vance and reduced to writing In order
TO dispatch business quickly and eff
GENTLY. A grange will not prosper
that calls to order an hour behind time,
and then dawdles along waiting for
something to turn up.
Very few farmers know what any
particular crop costs them, or even
keep AN account of receipts and expen-
ditures. There is probably no other
branch of business conducted In such
n slipshod manner. The grange should
be-and to a large extent is--a school
in which to learn better methods of
conducting the business OF the farm
and home.-Farmers' Voice.

CO, p.rr., a Nuisance.

We question IL there be greater
abom!nation about the hog yard than
the average slop barrel, says the Farm
er's Review. Who invented this nui-
sance? Who can give n common-sens
reason for its survival? 1t smells to
heaven! 1t renders the digestive organs
of the hogs as sour and unwholesome
as itself! We are at loss to explain
its presence, nor can we see what ben
eft is derived from it's use. Is 1t any
wonder that he is filthy when food sup
piled to him is filthy, sour. fermenting,
accomplishing, MISUNDERSTANDING? Such
70 I'd is unnatural for the hog. He was
intended to root in the earth and Craze
upon natural grasses of the field. To
him fell the nutritious nuts and fruits
of the tree; for him were the sweet
herbs and succulent roots, but no dirty,
smelly, sour slop!

months old Is 40 inches In length, 23
inches in depth and II inches in width.
For pig eight weeks old length OF
81 inches, Il depth of 1S inches and a

Trees Instead of Seeds.


The Department Of Agriculture next
year will vary the garden seed distrl-
button with several packages of trees.
Authority for this new departure was
secured ut a recent session Of Congress
and an appropriation was made In the
budget for the coming year. The people
of this country have been cutting down
the natural forests with SO much reck-
lessness that 1t has become necessary
to start artificial ones. The division of
forestry of the Agricultural Depart
ment has made IL survey of the coun-
try and has ascertained the particular
trees which thrive best and are most
useful in each locality. According to
the program for the distribution OF
trees, next year n given number of
seedlings Will be allotted to each men,
Der of the House of Representatives
who Will be asked to furnish n list of
constituents to whom he would like to
have them sent. The Agricultural De-
partment will do the rest. The seed
lings will be grown in the propagating
houses and forwarded to their destina-
ton, with specific instructions as to
how they should be planted and cared
for. In this way Secretary Wilson ex-
poets to start several million new trees
growing throughout this country every

Cake-MakiuU

When milk is used in cake making
the result is Il cake that will cut firm.
Water, on the other hand, makes -
lighter, more tender cake. Very hot
water makes tough cake Very cold
water makes n heavy cake. Neither
should be used is the clear deduction.
Opening the oven door too quickly,
closing 1t carelessly. allowing the air
to strike the cake while in the oven
these are few of the mistakes that
may attend the baking part of the cake
making process. Really, the cook
should curb her curiosity and refrain
from looking into the oven for full
ten minutes after the cake has entered
through the portal She should like
wise refrain from shifting its position
until it has fully risen. When she
does move 1t, it should be with
steady, careful hand. Neglect of any
of these precautions Is apt to bring It's,
own punishment in II collapsed loaf.

Crows as Enemies of Terraplns.

The crow is the evil gerius OF the
turtle Just as of the diamond-back
and other terrapins. When the warm
days of spring come and the female
terrapins and turtles leave their beds
in the marsh, the crow goes on guard,
knowing that season OF feasting Is at
hand. Both terrapins and turtles seek
the warm sandy uplands near the
shore to deposit their eggs. A hole is
dug several inches deep and from
twenty to thirty inches oblong, white
eggs are deposited and then the nest
Is filed or covered with sand. Hav-
ing neatly piled the sand over the eggs,
the turtle raises herself just as high
as is possible, then comes down with
a heavy thud on the sand. This is
continued until the sand is quite hard,
when the eggs are left for the sun to
hatch.
In the meantime the crow has been
on guard, and by means of his sharp
hill and strong claws the work OF
breaking into the treasure house OF the
unsuspecting turtle is quickly accom-
nlished and the feast is soon over.
The crow is considered by many to be
the greatest enemy the diamond-back
bas II is an easily established fact
that the crow destroys thousands OF
the eggs of all kinds of terrapins, not
making an exception of the diamond
backs.-Baltimor Sun.

Spraying Peach Trees,

pounds of bluestone to a barrel of wat
er applied the last of May is likely to
injure peach foliage somewhat, but In
our experience the injury is not enough
to do any serious harm. The same is
also true of bordeaux containing two
pounds of bluestone applied the last of
June. Black spot was almost entirely
prevented and the texture and size of
the fruit were decidedly improved by
two and three applications. The spray
ing should be continued well up to the
time of ripening of the fruit.-Mary-
land Station Bulletin.

A COSTLY VENTURE.
Won Zeppelin Sinks Pile OF Money in
His Airship.

Won Zeppelin Sinks Pile OF Money in
His Airship.
In July last, and again I'm October.
experiments were made in aerial nayi-
cation at Friedrichshafer, on Lake
constance, by rich German military
officer, Count Won Zeppelin. These
were reported in the New York Trib-
une at the time. 1t will be remem-
bered that the courts airship was a
Cylindrical gas reservoir, 400 feet In
length and 81 feet in diameter. It
was divided UP into a number of com
partments. Two tiny boats were sus-
pended from the reservoir, and gas en-
gines and screw propellers were en-
ployed to drive the colossal object
through the air.
The possibility of getting this craft
up without accident and of coming
down again Con the surface Of \ lake,
or Keeping right side up while flying
In comparatively calm weather, and of
steering from side to side, was dem
onstrated in satisfactory manner.
higher speed than six or eight miles,
and consequently the ship could not
cope with wind of greater velocity
than that.
AS might have been expected, this
venture cost an enormous amount of
money, most of which was supplied by
the builder himself. But the count was
member of the King of Wurtem-
berg's staff, and succeeded in interest
ing the King to such an extent that
the latter not only contributed money,
but also personally attended one of the
trials. 1t is now announced that the
stock company formed to help the
count has been dissolved, and it is
doubtful If anything will ever be heard
of the Won Zeppelin airship again.
The count is now practically a bank
rupt, and no one Is likely to advance
any more money to promote further
experiments.
Although good deal Of engineering
skill as well as money was put into
this venture, 1t was unfortunate In one
important respect. The ship was alto
gether too big and the engine too fee
BILE. Airships of this type have been
able to develop twice as great speed
as Won Zeppelin secured. And If he
wanted to beat the record he should
have increased the proportion between
the size of the craft and the amount
of motive power employed. A self
propelled airship that will make only
six or eight miles an hour might
serve some good purpose, perhaps,
but much greater velocity seems to
be essential either for military obser-
walton in time of war or geographical
research Moreover, when testing any
new principles or apparatus, 1T is al
| WAYS wise to work on a small scale
at first, and build on big one only
after the complete success of the me-
chanism has been demonstrated. Hi
ram Maxim seems to have made the
same mistake as the Wurtemberger.
Langley has sensibly continued his
operations to mere models, though the
latter were big enough to show what
he wanted to find out.

Cheese Manufacture,

Mr. Simon, the expert who scored the
cheese at the convention Of the Ohio
dairymen, is n large Wisconsin dealer
and was struck by the Irregularities in
the Ohio product. The size Is not uni
form, and IA or 141A-inch cheese Is
recommended. The buyers want to
handle big lots of near the same size.

to so pounds suit best Bandages We're
also criticised as too loose, allowing
mold to work In. He voiced the senti-
ment of the association when he de-
clared that it does not pay to make

Hints TO Housekeepers.

Dates stuffed with marshmallows Of
fer another form Of the stuffed-date'
relish that Is II pleasant variation for
the nuts oftenest used. A half OF "a
marshmallow stuffs a date.
The bitter taste sometimes noticed in
orange or lemon sherbet indicates that
"a little OF the white part OF the rind5
has got into the juice of the fruit This,
inner rind or pith Is intensely bitter,
and some Of it's flavor escapes IL a
wooden lemon sQueezer is used. The.
glass squeezer Is better for this pur-
pose, but 1t is safest Of all to strain the
Juice through double cheesecloth.
In selecting pineapples it Is well to-
remember that the tops of the finest
ones have smooth edged spines, while
those of the poorer grades are saw
edged.
Generally, canned peas should be
carefully drained from their liquor be-
fore they are put over to cook. 1t Is
also better to wash them in cold water
and then put them In freshly boiling
water sufficient to cover them. Add n
teaspoonful OF brown sugar, but no
| salt, since salt has a tendency toward
hardening them. Twenty minutes
cooking is enough. The peas should
| then be drained and served with IL
dressing OF melted butter, pepper and
salt.
In buying pumice stone upon which
to pour perfume extracts to use In
drawers and on shelves the broken
Jumps in their natural state should
be selected The variety that Is
powdered and compressed into cakes
is too finely packed for the liquid to
penetrate and be retained.
Celery salad Is particularly appetite
ing and wholesome as spring dish.
Cut the white stalks In short pieces and
let them stand in ice water until ready
to serve. Then dry and mix with may

dressing on top Of each.

A Rubbing Post.

1t is great comfort for hogs and
may be made most useful to rid them
of lice and scaly skin If put up as
follows: Drive stout stick three
inches in diameter In suitable place,
leaving twenty inches above ground;
staple a rope four inches from earth's
surface to the stake and coil 1t closely
till 1t reaches three inches from the top
Of the stake; staple 1t tightly. Pour
coal oil or crude petroleum on it until
IT Is well saturated with 1t. and the
hogs or shoats will fight for the first
and last rub on 1t. Pour more oil on
occasionally as needed. This will kill
all lice and nits and remove scales that
are so unsightly upon the hogs. 1t has
been tried and works well.--Twentieth

Notes About the Horse.

Allow horse reasonable time to
rest after feeding.
1t is within the reach of every farm
er to breed good horses.
Mares bred in the fall will endure
good service without injury.
A dumb, stupid cot can never be ed
ucated to be valuable horse.
A good colt Is product not affected
by weather, hot, wet or dry.
Size, form, bone and constitution
must be regarded first in breeding.
Let the heels be cleaned every night
Dirt or filth If allowed to cake causes
sore heeks.
While horses need good. wholesome
food 1t should not be all of the fat pro

Money in Fences.

attention to the advantage of mo
fence law and presents the startling
figures that Indiana alone has fences
whose computed value is 100000. 900,
and which If placed in a single line
would fourteen times encircle the
globe. These figures suggest the enor-
nous amount of capital invested In
fences throughout the United States.
