THE K OF PEAS.
F%artieuiarn of the Process witb
which All Housekeepers Are
Not Familiar.

Although it is generally believed
INA the green pea-the unripe fruit
of the Pisum sativum-is less n,+r;.
t1ous thar the dried, the green vegeta-
pie Is far mor highly esteemed as a
oeilcacy, its fine flavor making It a
great favorite. Who does not appre-
cate that rare combination for a
spring dinner-lamb, with mint sauce
ana fresh green peas. Young and ten
DER green peas are easily digesfed, as
their gluten or vegetable casein is not
SO tough and their particles are more
easily separated. Young peas also
have a higher per cent. of the tissue
forming element than the dried. as the
starch develops in excess to the nitro
gen IN process of %ripening, says the
Washington Star.
Inc Romans seem to have been ig-
norant of the use of green peas, which
were cultivated for food by the Greeks,
and grown in very early periods in
ooth CHINA and India. The varieties
known to use were introduced into
England from the continent about the
eighteenth century. Sugar peas are a
Narlety of peas of which the pods and
seeds are both used. These are very
sweet, and are gathered when the seed
is scarcely developed at all. They are
stewed same as young peas, and when
used at the right period are very tasty.
Marrowfat is a late variety Of peas,
growing very large, but OF very tender
substance.
Fresh green peas cooked in the usual
way contain from 12 to 16 per cent. of
carbohydrate, of which a considerable
amount is sugar, but they quickly lose
their sweetness after they are gath
cred, and when they are kept for "a
hours or over after they are picked a
teaspoonful or more of g added
to the water in which they are cooked
Will, in a measure, restore their flavor
and sweetness. Stale, wilted peas may
be partly restored to their pristine
freshness If they are thrown into cold
water after Smelling and allowed to
remain for an hour before cooking.
On the other hand very fresh peas are
better if shelled when ready to cook
them, and Immediately covered with
boiling salted water.
The simplest and best mode of cook
ing fresh green peas is to plain-boil
them in above manner for ten or IS
minutes. and as 500 as they are ten
der drain and dish with a piece of but
ter, shake salt and pepper over them.
This is called a l'Anglaise. A la Fran
caise is to cook them with a little bull
lion or broth, sugar and a roux-
which must be added sparingly or the
mixture will be too thick. Peas that
have become a little old had best be-
cooked until they can be pressed
through a colander or coarse sieve and
then made into a soup or ]crequettes or
rarebit. as they will be more digestible
and palatable this way.

Cheap Plan OF narrowing.

/ notice so many western farmers

ground plowed each day, or rather
narrowing what is plowed during the
day. before quitting time. Now l will
tell you how we work it. We plow
right along till we turn and one can
look back and see a nice smooth sur
face and have a full days work of
blowing. remarks a writer in Nebraska
Farmer. We take a single section OF
a harrow and one horse. Tie the horse
to the outside of the furrow horse and
there you are. We use a tow-bottom
gang pillow and this n section will
harrow the ground twice and that be-
fore it has time to dry out. This is q
splendid way to exercise that extra
horse.

7 OF THE D
Trimmings and Materials That En-

Summer Costumes.

Pipings are one Of the ~revivals in

wool frocks i'll plain color.
This season, when you pay a fancy
price for a simple outing hat, you
won't receive the equivalent of your
money in material. You'll be paying
for lines-elusive, chic lines-upon
which the hats success depends.
In the province of the street
frock, the tailor frock, the white
costume is more conspicuous this
season than ever before. We have
had the sheer white gowns, the
white gowns of clinging silken stuffs
for house and evening wear, but
never were tailored frocks of white
worn so generally as they will be
this year.
Lawns in sheerer quality n made
up more deliberately for afternoon
frocks and share with dimity the
honor of being the most serviceable
of white wash stuffs. Filmier and

batistes, which r enjoying a tre-
mendous vogue and this season there

NEW PLANT sEAsE
to the Rust Appearing on the
Common Bean.

Every new plant seems to bring to
our notice one or more new diseases.
Prof. L. H. Pammel, of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college, has made a report on
the rust affecting the cowpea. The
professor is inclined to think that this
rust is identical with the rust appear
ing on the common bean. The rust spots
that first appear on the leaves are round,
but later seem to flow together and form

CORN IN WET Isl
A Subject of Great Importance That
Is Rather Apt to BE Neglected
by Most Farmers.

A correspondent asks for information
about raising corn in a wet season. He
says the agricultural papers frequently
leach how to conserve moisture and
handle the crop during a drought, but not
the reverse. This. If true, is due to the
TACT that in the corn belt the corn crop
suffers more frequently from lack Of
moisture than from too much.
The first attention in case of excessive
wetness, should be given to drainage.
Inc thing to do is to get rid of the sur
