and boil briskly. q always cook the
leaf and gut fat separately You
are now ready to begin the cutting
of the meat that John has in readi-
ness, and my John gives a helping
hand until the work is finished. I
think the addition of the salt and
soda to each potful makes the crack
lings dry out better and the lard
winter. When the last of fat is put
to boiling I begin with the sausage
meat, cutting it into long thin strips,
wash through hot water, lay on a
table to drain, grind, season with
salt, pepper and sage; then stuff. AS
each one is stuffed, dip into a pot
of boiling water, into which has been
thrown several pods of red pepper.
Do not bother to tie the ends or
link, but hang them carefully on
wooden poles, laying them round and
round if long and there is danger of
breaking. I find time during the
morning to scrape the feet again,
and have them boiling, and at the
close of the second day the much
dreaded task is over. Cans of beau
tiful white lard, long rows of sau-
sage, a nice pan of mince-meat, and
no dirty, greasy kitchen to tidy up.
All, me! Tired? Yes, but happy and
contented, to know that all is finish
ed, and tomorrow brings up no I'M
finished task from to-day.

my idea of the mean man-one who
lets his wife and daughters have all
the trouble with the poultry. then
when he takes either to market pock-
cts the money himself. It is the same
thing with the money for butter.
Women like to earn money, and their
opportunities are limited in the coun-
try. If she cares to divide her money
with you, young man, she will tell
you to take part of it; but if she
does not, you may be positively sure
that she has spent many hours trying
to decide how to use every cent of it
to your mutual advantage. I did
not mean to deliver a lecture; but
Christmas is coming and this is a re-
minder.
Mrs. Reade's letter came last week
too late for comment, but we were
delighted to have her with us again.
l appreciated the note and would be
so glad to avail myself of the kind
invitation, were it possible. Be sure
to write again and continue that
interesting letter.
Clara B., whose letter also appear
ed last week, writes well. We hope
to have many letters from her fluent
pen.

Hints for the Hog Killing Season.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-As yours is
a helping corner, / think that more
of us should try to tell our house
hold experiences and give all the
readers the benefit we have gained
and help to find the easiest way to
do things.
| will contribute my mite By giving
the sisters a few dots that help one
at hog-killing season. First of all,
get everything ready before the
Staying" begins. Lard cans, strain
er cloth, pepper, sage, salt, several
coarse dish cloths, soap and strings.
Cut the fat as it is taken from the
entrails into small pieces and drop
into warm water. If the entrails are
accidentally cut, use your strings
and wipe carefully with coarse cloth.
As the small ones to be used for
sausage castings are cleaned, drop
them into warm salt water, and as
SOOu DIS EOSSlD10, Will d uull ku1lS,
scrape al thin as tissue paper; drop
in cold water and they are ready
for use next day. Take the hoofs
from the feet, scrape carefully, put
in a vessel of water till next day;
cut the leaf fat in small pieces and
put in water to soak. Select a pro-
tected spot, out of doors, have good
wood, and at least two large pots
and all your smaller ones, put in
position and filed with water.
Get a good nights sleep, and at
early dawn, while you are prepar-
ing breakfast, John will start the
fires and have plenty of hot water
to begin operations, and then start
to trimming the meat to be ready
for you. Dip the water from the
large pots into tubs, wipe out pots
and put in about one gallon of fresh
water; wash the fat that has been
soaking all night through the hot
water; put in pots, add a handful
of salt, one-half teacupful of soda,

From Tim Dorman.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-It has been
so long since you and the cousins
have heard from me that I suppose
you have forgotten me, or suppose
I am dead, and especially Miss Peggy,
for after all she gave me such a lash
ing last spring, she, like myself,
dropped out, and, though I have been
keeping up with Social Chat, I have
not heard ANYTHING from her. There
is a saying
Convince a fool against his will,
And he'll be of the same opinion,
still"
So Miss Peggy may know I am of
the same opinion as to this trihing-
ness among young men. But let
that 60.
The winter is here again, and the
long evenings afford excellent oppor-
tunities for improvement along all
lines, and especially along education
al lines. And we young people should
be quick to recognize and ever ready
to seize these opportunities, when
they present themselves, for remem-
Der
"He that will not, when he may,
When he would, he shall have nays"
and when I read of what other men
have done in srare moments, and in
the "odds and ends of time" I feel
just like I need a genteel thrashing
for my "no-countness," and I sup
pose I feel about right, too. Why
just thing, Elihu Buritt, one of the
most famous linguists the world has
ever known, having been able to read
intelligently more than fifty Ian
guages, is said to have carried his
grammar in his hat while he
worked at the blacksmith's trade.
And yet we complain because of a
lack of time in which to do m

to know that. Burns is his fayorite
author. Of course, we know that he
was a brilliant fellow; but after all,
hedrowned his talent in a cup. ooh,
wad some power" etc., is a favorite
quotation of mine, and if we could
see ourselves as others see us, it
would indeed free us from many fol-
lies and faults.
A member of the Circle asks if she
must let the leaves which have fallen
on the lawn lie there until spring?
She says that some have told her
that they would kill the grass, while
others have been just as earnest in
saying that they will decay and be
beneficial? I ask the Circle to tell
her their experiences. She awaits
your verdict: Will they injure or
benefit the lawn? Are you saving
the ashes for the garden next spring
If not, begin now.
By the way, Thanksgiving day will
soon be here. Had you thought of
the pleasure it would give you to
make some one else feel thankful for
a kindness done? There are so
many things for which to feel thank
full this year especially. See if you
can't think of at least fifty in your
own home, then the State, then as a
nation. / once heard an old woman
say hat it was never a Thanksgiving
day to her unless she had helped
some neighbor in some way during
the year. Now, I believe most of
her days were thanksgiving days, for
she was always interested in the well
fare of poorer persons and enjoyed
helping to lift burdens from other
shoulders. There are persons who
have persuaded themselves that they
are too poor to give anything to a
good cause, but always have money
to SPEND foolishly for themselves.
A lady remarked not long since that
most persons believed that money
is the root of all evil, but she did
not, for unless you put ~selfshness
back of the money there was never
any harm in it.
Of one thing we are sure, and
that is your money, be it much or
little, will tell people the manner
of man you are. Did you know that!
It may be that you had not thought
of it in that way, but it will tell on
you just the same.

make use OF what time we nave, ana
then we would be surprised to see
what great things we could accom-
plish.
Then again the mind, like the body,
is naturally active, and is going to
reach out after something; and if
we are not careful to store it up
with good things, it will store itself
up with something that will be of
everlasting injury to us. For if we
do not make books our companions
and I mean good books-our mind,
like that of the illiterate man, will
lead us off after the "crowd." And
her is what Milton says of the crowd:
"And what the people but a herd con-
fused.
A miscellaneous rabble, who extol
Things vulgar, and, well weighed,
scarce worth the praise?
They praise and they admire they
know not what,
And know not whom, but as one leads
the other"
Yes, if in no other way, we should
take the works of some standard au-
thor, and become acquainted with
and appropriate his most sublime
thoughts, as well as his manner of
expression. Certainly there is no
time to be wasted if we would ever
amount to much in the world.
AS to whom we should read after,
each must determine this for him
self, as the one whom I most admire
might not suit some one else, and
vice versa. I will, however, tell you
of one whose works I love to read,
and that is Robert Burns, the Scotch
glow boy. And who does not adj
mire such sublime thought as is con-
tanned in the following lines:
90 wad some power the giftie gle us,
To see ourselves as ithers see us;
1t wad frae many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion"
And these:
"Then gently scan your brother man,
Still gentler sister woman;
Though then may gang a kennin'
wrang,
To step aside is human.
One point must still be greatly dark,
The moving why they do it;
And just as lamely can We mark
How far. perhaps, they rue it.
"Who- made the heart. it's He alone
Decidedly can try us;
He knows each cord-its various
tone.
Each spring-its various bias.
Then at the balance let's be mute,
We ne'er can adjust it;
What's done we partly may compute,
But not know what's resisted"
I ask again, who does not admire
the thought contained in the above
lines? And yet, I almost weep to
think that such a man as Burns
should have to borrow money in the
latter part of his life to keep out
of jail. JIM DORMAN.

Bartlesyille and Coneyville have
both demonstrated the fact that with

At Bartlesyille an excellent building,

dollars and fifty cents a thousand.
With gas fuel the manufactured ar
ticle can be made and shipped five
hundred miles and laid down freight
paid for less than the home product
where coal is used to burn them.
There is no finer shale in the world
