To BrOil Bacon.

Broiled bacon is dish which in few
households deserves the adjective, be-
cause It Is seldom brOiled the fat is
fried out of it and again soaked into
it by long suffering in a spider full
Of grease.
The only way to cook bacon-both
for the matter of appearance and for
digestive qualities-is TO broil 1t, not
over bed of Goals Qt Is too fat for
that, but in very hot oven. Cut the
bacon in the most delicately thin slices
possible, rejecting the rind. Lay the
pieces close together In Il fine wire
broiler. Place 1t over a dripping pan
and set in hot oven. 1t requires to
be turned Just once. The fat which
falls into the pan makes excellent
drippings for frying potatoes.
Drain the bacon on brown paper.
If you wish to serve calfs liver with
this, sprinkle the liver with pepper
and salt. roll it In -four and fry brown
in the bacon drippings. Serve with a
curled morsel Of bacon on top of each
piece Of liver. Bacon as served by the
average cook, well soaked in grease,
is the most indigestible of food; when
broilcd crisp in the oven. 1t Is q dish
that may be served even for child Of
two years with impunity. Among all
the fats dellcately crisped bacon ranks
next to cream in ease Of digestion.

SWEET POTATOES.
FOr Early and Late CrOps-Bedding
and Planting slips.

and Planting slips.
1t is quite important to have a good
set of sweet potato slips ready for put.
ting out as soon as the danger from
frost is over. Care in bedding the pOta-
toes will help greatly in securing these.
Select Il good location with a southern
exposure so that the sun will shine
upon it as near all day as possible. 1t
will be better still if it be protected by
a house or fence against the northwest
winds. Dig or spade up the soil eight
or ten inches. Rake this smooth and
fine with q rake. Place the potatoes
just so they will not touch. Cover
them with manure that has been kept
dry or with cotton seed. Then put on
about two inches of soil. We say ma
nure that has been kept dry because it
is important to get up heat and hasten
the SprOuting. Manure that has been
leached will not generate this heat. If
very heavy rains come, the bed should
be covered. If it be very dry, it should
be watered. The crust should be well
broken
For early table use or early market
ing it is important to get the slips out
early, but for the main crop to keep
through the next winter they should be
put out late These will be much cas-
Ter to keep. The slips should MT be set
before the little feeding rOOtlets have
grown.
Prepare the soil by deep breaking
and narrowing. Throw up a very fat
bed some days before time to plant.
We find any kind of rotting vegetable
matter TO be good for manuring pota-
toes. They do not require much help in
this way. Heavy manuring produces
too much vine. Common oak leaves or
pine needles do we'll for this crop. If
you have no manure and must use fer
tilizers, the acid phosphate is The chief
thing required. A little potash will not
be amiss upon the old land.
When ready to set the slips, run
deep furrOw with a subsoil pillow or a
long, narrow scooter ana set the slips
in this furrow. As soon as they have
become well rooted run light harrow
over the rows. This will destroy all
the young grass and save great deal |
Of work and trouble later. The sweet |
potato crop is increasing in value every
year. Southern farmers should give !
more attention to growing, keeping and |
selling them.

The Clerical Gnrh.

When Martin Luther laid aside the
monks clothes which had up to that
time been his garb, the elector Of Sax
Ony sent him piece Of black cloth.
Black was at the time court fashion,
and Luther had n suit made of 1t ac-
cording to the prevailing cut Of the
time. His pupils followed his example,
and henceforth black became the dis
tinguishing hue Of clerical garb. 1t
was not, however, for many years aft
erward that the cut Of clergyman's
coat became in any way different from
that Of the laity.

Many farmers plant potatoes late in
the season in order to avoid in part the
ravages Of the potato bug, and there is
no question about there being some
advantage in this respect But if CON
tinued experiments demonstrate that
early planting and thorough spraying
will increase the crop from fifty to a
hundred bushels per acre over late
planting and little or no spraying it
would seem a wise policy to plant ear
ly and protect the plants by spraying,

York.

Strong cords are fashioned from the

the leaf cradle is suspended under a
tree, and the wind rocks the baby to

EerfiIizinc Tomafnea.

The impression is quite prevalent
that the tomato does not require heavy
manuring. Experiments that have been
conducted at number of stations
show that the tomato is a plant that
quickly and profitably responds to the
use of manures or fertilizers and that
the maturity and yield are very largely
influenced by the method Of manuring
and fertilizing. Experiments conduct
ed by the New Jersey station have
shown nitrate of soda to be one of the
best heterogeneous fertilizers for this
crop.
