How to Pan Tomatoes,

with roast meats. Put In pan with
two ounces of butter six firm tomatoes
that have been cut and halyed. Cook
slowly on the top of the range for ten
minutes, then brown quickly in the
oven. Remove the tomatoes to a hot
platter and make sauce by adding to
the Drowned butter two tablespoonfuls
of flour and after 1t is rubbed smooth
one pint of milk. Stir until boiling.
Season well with salt and pepper and
pour over the tomatoes. GarnIsh with
parsley and points Of toast,

DARK Canned Hnner.

We have seen honey in the comb
which was not capped white, as it
should be, but had dark. watery look.
Those who are experts say that this is
because the cell is filed too full before
it is capped, and that 1t seems to be a
popularity of some colonies. While it
makes the honey no worse, it is objec-
tionable because the buyers like a
white comb, and these darker combs,
though they may contain as white and
as pure honey as any, must be sold at
a lower price. Either such honey
should always be extracted or the
queen in such colony should be kill
ed and queen given them from a hive

Common salt, which has long had
reputation with many farmers for its
value as fertilizer for barley, while
others disbelieyed in its efficacy, has
been shown at the Canadian expert
ment farms to be a most valuable agent
for producing an increased crop of that
grain, while it is Of much less use when
applied to crops of spring wheat or
oats. Land plaster or gypsum has also
proved to be of some value as fer
tilizer for barley, while of very little
service for wheat or oats.

Things That Are Told.

The demand for horse and mule meat
is increasing in Europe. Germany, es-
pecially, Is SO hungry for meat that
any old thing will do.
The local papers Of Kansas are max
ing ammunition for the bears as fast
as they know how by claiming wheat
crop results beyond all reason.
Irrigating sugar beets and alfalfa,
with good stock to feed the alfalfa and
pulp to, is doing good deal for the
people Of Colorado.
The man who is going to live by
dairying, without any special regard to
meat production, will find that the Jer-
sey, the Guernsey, the Holstein or the
Ayrshire win answer his purpose.

LACE CURTAINS.
How 60 Do Them Up Without the All
of q Stretcher

of Stretcher.
Wash your curtains and put them
through well made but rather thin
boiled starch in which you have dis
solved a teaspoonful of salt, says a
Boston Globe correspondent. Dry them
thoroughly; then as thoroughly dampen
them with lukewarm water; roll up in
clean towels until they are damp all
over alike. Now, if you have room
with a carpet on the floor so much the
better. If not, spread a thick blanket
and over that large clean sheet.
Stretch it smoothly and tack firmly to
the floor with ordinary tacks, but don't
hammer them so hard that you can't
easily withdraw them when you're
through.
Now, if your curtains are ready
spread them one at time on the sheet.
Begin at the top and pin right across,
being sure your curtain is straight, then
across the bottom. When you come to
do the sides, smooth your curtain from
the center to the edge before putting in
the pins. If the edge of your curtain is
scalloped, put pins in each one after
smoothing it into shape with your
hands. BY the time you have it pinned
down you'll find the constant stroking
has almost dried your curtain, and all
that Is necessary Is to go over 1t with
irons, not too hot, until quite dry. Take
out your pins, lift your curtain, and If
you have as good luck as always have
you'll find it very much like new one
and not pulled to pieces on frame.
