SWEET PICKLES. !,
iBy Mrs. Barbara sadlsr.
vopyrighted.


re Is at this season of the year that
ehe good housewife begins to fill her
pantry with the favorite continent
known as sweet pickles. Sweet pickles
may be made from many different
things, and all are palatable, generally
appetiaing, and an addition to the
iarder. AS, generally speaking, these
pickles are highly spiced, they will with
little care keep a long time and often
"fill a long-felt want"
Watermelon rinds. cantaloupes, pears,
! ripe cucumbsrs. plums and ounces. are
among the things utilized In making
sweet pickles, and. speaking generally,
all may be put up after the following
recipe: To every seven pounds Of the
fruit allow four of sugar and a pint of
vinegar. two teaspoonfuls each of all
spice and cinnamon, one of cloves,
few blades of mace and half an ounce
Of ginger root. Make a number of lit
tie cheese-cloth bags and distribute the
spices evenly in them. Put the sugar
! and vinegar over the fire to boil and
throw in the spice bags; when boiling
throw in the fruit, bring again to a
boiling point and pour into stone jars.
Never use tin or metal for this work.
For nine consecutive days drain off the
Juice. bring to boiling point and pour
again over the fruit. The last time boil
down the syrup II there is. too much to
cover, and seal up the fruit.
: IT cantaloupes are used, scrub and
wash the outsides thoroughly, cut in
halves, scoop out the seeds and soft in
side, peel and cut into even sized pieces
and place In dish OF ice-cold water.
Let them lay a few minutes, then drain
In a colander and then cook for twenty
minutes In a kettle containing dessert-
spoonful of alum to every four quarts Of
boiling water. This is done to harden
the melon.
You may also take the cantaloupe or
Watermelon rind thus cooked and hard
ened in alum and make q delicious pre-
serve. Cook the melon when taken from
the alum water in a syrup made of a
pound of sugar and cupful of water
to every pound of the fruit. adding four
sliced lemons and four ounces of green
ginger root to seven pounds of fruit.
a very fine pickle is made from
peaches. Select ripe, firm fruit, allow a
pound Of sugar to pint Of vinegar, boil
to syrup, flavor delicately with a tea
spoonful of extract of lemon, blade of
mace, half dozen cloves and q stick Of
cinnamon. Weigh the fruit after you
have pared 1t and allow seven pounds
of 1t to five pounds of sugar. Drop the
prepared peaches in the sugar and vine-
gar. let boil fifteen minutes, take up,
put in jars and set aside for day. Then
drain off the syrup, heat it and pour II
over the peaches, repeating this opera
ton at least FIVE mornings.
Sweet apples also make a very fine
pickle. Take four pounds of selected
apples, pare and cut into quarters. Make
q syrup of three pounds of sugar and
one quart Of vinegar. spice well, add the
apples and cook slowly until tender
Put the fruit In jars, boil the syruI
thick, and pour over and seal up.

Linco1n,s Swear Word.

One story that is told Of Lincoln re-

always maintained toward the presi-

Mr.. Lincoln and the secretary had
managed to escape from a man who
had been boring them, and as they
reached the house the president threw
himself into an armchair and ex-
claimed:
"By jings. governor, we are here"
Mr.. Seward replied by asking in a
reproving tone:
"Mr. President, where did you learn
that inelegant eXpression"
Mr.. Lincoln Immediately turned to
several young men who had entered
the Dor in time to hear the exclama.

barley md Oats.

At the North Dakota experiment sta
ton they made a trial for nine months
of the comparative value of feeding
oats and barley to three horses and
two mules. In every case of animals
working in pairs at the same work the
one given barley made less gain or lost
more flesh, according to the work they
were doing. When changed about, the
result was the same. The one that
gained flesh on oats lost it on barley.
Besides this. if the barley feed was
continued long the animal that had it
would refuse to eat the barley some
times for several meals. The rough
fodder was the same good timothy hay
in all cases. They therefore decided
that barley was not as valuable food
for horses as oats when fed in equal
weights

Size and Quality In the Horse.

The American farmer cannot afford
to raise a common horse or a small
horse. The ranchman can raise small
horses, because they are the easiest to
raise, the hardest and shiftiest and be-
cause he can sell them cheap and still
make money. But as a business propo-.
sition for him the small horse is behind
the larger one too. He can and does
raise and market a Is hand horse. good
shape and sound, for less than the
grain it costs a farmer to raise n Of
the kind. A farmer who does not ex-
pect to raise a bigger horse than that
will nine times out of ten make money
by keeping the service fee in his pocket
and putting his feed into something
else.-National Stockman.

THE PIANO AT ITS BEST.

"There are plenty of people," said a
piano tuner. 'who let their pianos go
one, two. three years without tuning,
and in some cases pianos thus neglect
ed may not get very. very woefully off,
but a piano should be tuned every three
months. That would be none too often
to keep it in order.
Gas a matter of fact. a piano begins
to get out of tune again at once after
it has been tuned. How could it be
otherwise? Nothing stands still. This
difference would at first be so slight as
scarcely to be perceptible to any but
the p%racticed and sensitive ear of an
expert tuner. but it is there. Doesn't a

their pianos that attention which is
needed to keep them in their most per-

and dealers of curse are looking after
the tuning of their pianos in stock
scrupulously and carefully all the time.
You don't hear pianos out of tune in a
piano wareroom. They never let them
get out of tune there. They aim, in
fact, at keeping them as near perfec.
ton as they can.
"We are pretty sure to find in every
new piano something pleasing and at
tractive. Some share at least of this
pleasing quality comes from its being
in perfect tune. In fact, to keep any
piano at its best it must be kept III

Canada Thistles.

Canada thistles should be mown in
July. They are then in blossom. Cut
stems a few inches from the ground;
cut only those in blossom. Those that
do not bloom this year cut next year.
for they will then be in bloom. When
the Canada thistle has seeded, it has
finished its mission; it then dies. Cut
with whatever suits. A strong, light
scythe is best. The thistle rarely has
sufficient vitality to recuperate and
throw up new stalks. This is the case
if in sod ground, as that tends to crowd
it out.

Advantages of Farm Life.

One of the advantages of farming is
that the farmer never becomes either
very rich or very poor, neither of which
is desirable. Extreme poverty degrades
and great riches have an equally bad
effect in creating extravagant habits
and general selfishness.
Farming is ali right as an occupa-
ton, but could be made much more
pleasant than it is if farmers would
take more pride in it and themselves.
The farmer has as much right as any
n to wear a good suit of clothes and
adorn and beautify his home. In fact,
1t is his duty to do so. 1t is also part
of his duty to furnish good reading
matter for the family. We should
strive to so elevate and dignity the
business that any man could be proud
to say. 81 am a farmer."-J. M. Terrell.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Pigs as a Dairy Adjunct.

AS pork products are commanding
better prices than for several years, it
will be for the interest OF farmers keep
ing COWS, and especially where there
is a supply of milk the year around, to
pay more attention to keeping OF swine,
says a writer in American Agricultur-
list.
AS now, more than formerly, light
weight hogs are more in request than
heavy ones, it, becomes possible with
good management to raise ant, fatten
two beaods of pigs in one year, as at 6
months old they will be ready for mar
ket and at good prices.
This will allow of a good number of
pigs being grown and fattened with a
moderate sized dairy.
To make the business most profitable
brood sows should be kept on the farm
and the pigs raised for use, thus say
ing the cost of buying, besides having
such breeds as are best for the pur-
pose.
