a wen kept manure heap may be
safely taken as one of the surest indi-
cations of thrift and success in farm
i2G. Neglect of this resource causes
losses, which, though little appreciated
are vast in extent. Waste of manure
is either so common as to breed in
difference or so silent and hidden as to
escape notice.
1t has been figured out that if. one
third of the manure in the United
States is wasted the total annual loss
would be about SOS, 100000 annually.
If the farmer, instead of selling off
his crops, feeds them to live stock on
the farm as far as possible, a large
proportion of this fertility is retained
stock feeding is carried to the point
where feed is purchased in addition to
that grown on the farm a considerable
addition may in this way be made to
the fertility of the farm at an almost
nominal cost, since it is assumed that

The growing of more leguminOus
plants such as beans. peas, clover, lu-
pines, etc, as a means of increasing
the fertility Of the soil 10 strongly
recommended both from theoretical
and practical considerations, but the
leguminous crop Is best utilized when it
is fed out on the farm and the manure
saved and applied to the soil. The
greatest profit is thus secured and near
ly the same fertility is maintained as
in green manuring. The farmer should
mend his system so that the barnyard
manure will be as well cared for as any
other farm product. Loss from surface
washing, teaching, fermentation and
decay should be guarded against. Then
the feeding of richer food will mean
richer manure and better and cheaper
crops.

abandon time honored practices and
adopt methods with which he is un-
familiar He also hesitates about
incurring the necessary expense of
building suitable receptacles for the

THE COOKBOOK.

Salt in the oven under baking tins
will prevent pastry scorching on the
bottom.
If It is desired to keep cakes moist
put them in Il stone jar. If crisp cakes
are preferred use tin as a receptacle.
When weighing molasses sprinkle the
scale well with -four. and then it will
slip off again quite easily without stick
ing.
The best way to mash potatoes is to
rub them through a wire sieve. You
can then he sure there are no Jumps
left.
For luncheon or supper serve the
bread and butter in the form of sand
wiches. Cut the bread thin and re-
move part of the crust. Cut in strips
after buttering or in rounds with a bis
cult cutter
BY cutting old potatoes into very
small balls allowing them to soak for
three or four hours in cold water. then
boiling in cold salte1 water and serv-
ing with cream sauce a very good sub

SALTING BABIES.

In certain localities in Europe and
Asia the people still adhere to the ex-
ceedingly curious custom of sailing
newborn babies. notwithstanding its
cruelty and danger. The method va
ries with the differing nationalites Of
the people using it.
The Armenians of Russia cover the
entire skin of the infant with a very
fire SIT, taking great care that the salt
reaches all the spaces between the fin
gers and toes and the depressions IN
the body, such as the armpits and the
hOllOws under the knees, for not a spot
of the surface of the child must remain
untouched by the salt. The salt is left
Oh the baby for three hours or more
and then washed off with warm water
A mountain tribe of Asia Minor is
even more mercileSs than the Arme-
mans. They keep their newborn ba-
bies covered with salt for twenty-fou
hours. The modern Greeks sprinkle
their babies with salt, and even in
some parts of Germany salt is still
used on child at birth. but in a much
more humane manner, by rubbing
little behind the ears or by placing a
pinch OF salt on the tongue or by filling
a little paper with salt and placing it
under the garment. The mothers i'm
agine that this will give their children
health and strength and keep the evil
spirits away from them.
This custom, when carried to excess,
is cruel, the salt inhaming the skin
