RUSH FOR WEALTH
The Pace Is Killing New Workers.

The fact that l2J persons died last

ness and cares attending anxiety to gain

nhvsicions OF the conditions which exist

SERVING POTATOES.

A writer In the Housekeeper gives
the following way Of serving potatoes:
Imitation New Potatoes-Into a
cheesecloth sack put small, round,
peeled potatoes. Place the sack in
pan containing boiling milk and wafer
in equal parts, sufficient to cover the
potatoes, with little salt Boil slow
ly till done. lift out the sack and al
low all the liquid to drain off; then
place in the oven five minutes or SO
while you are preparing a white sauce
with butter. -four, milk and little
salt. Turn the potatoes from the sack
into this and serve Immediately in 4
deep vegetable dish.
Quick Potatoes-Slice raw potatoes
thin and boil ten minutes or so in
sailed water. Drain, sprinkle with
dash of pepper, add small bits Of but
ter and pour over the whole about half
a cupful hot cream. Serve at once in
q heated dish.
Syracuse Hot Salt Potatoes-Boil the
vegetables in a rather strong brine
aud drain on a piece Of cheesecloth
stretched almost tight across the top Of
a pan. They will be covered with
salt crystals and will be very mealy
inside. j.

A USEFUL HINT.

To care for trees which have been
girdled by mice or rabbits the Iowa
Experiment Station recommends the
following: /. The growing layer which
lies just beneath the bark will form Il
new layer or bark IL it is kept moist
by banking up with earth for two or
three inches above the girdled por-
ton. The earth should be firmly
tamped about the stem and pains be
taken to see that it is not separated
by the tree swaying in the wind. 2. A
sure but more difficult method of treat
ment is to wrap the wound with broad
strips of cloth coated with grating
wax; the wax made by boiling to-
gether four parts of resin. two parts
beeswax and one part tallow. Such
wounds should not be allowed. to dry
out, and where too severe there is
much doubt about the recovery of the
tree.

RENovAT1NG GRASS LAND.

One Of the first results of the contin.
cous grazing of land by mich cows or
young stock is the exhaustion of the
phosphoric acid which such land con-
tains. The quantity of this plant food
material removed in a single year
may not appear very considerable
when worked out by analysis. but UNI
der the most favorable conditions the
percentage of phosphoric acid in the
soil is very small, and when the land Is
grazed for number Of years and no
manure is applied to it with the object
of returning the phosphoric acid car
rled away, the exhaustion eventually.
assumes 50 serious form as to cSnsld-
erably diminish the grass-producing
capacity Of the land. For restoring to
the soil the phosphate thus removed
the best artificial dressings at present
at the command of farmers are SUPER
phosphate and basic Stag. tie last
named of which is found specially val
liable on soils deficient in lime. Other
plant food materials also get carried
away in the same manner, OF course,
but that which is the first to become
exhausted is the phosphor.c acid.

THE DEwBERRY.

The dewberry is a fruit too mucn
neglected. 1t is undoubtedly superior
to the blackberry, the fruit being
larger and of better flavor, and the
trailing habit of the plant makes it
less liable to winter killing. Through
the winter 1t should be permitted TO
lie very close to the ground and 1t
may still lie through the frulting sea-
son. If, however, stake that will
stand two or three feet high be driven
into the ground near each hill, and the
vines brought up to it and wired or
tied with Irvine in an oval shape,
just before the leaves begin to show,
when in bloom you will have a beau
tiful white bouquet at each hill, and
when the fruit is ripe you will have
something little prettier than you
ever had in berry patch. We risk
saying tile Lucretia is the very best

CURE OF HOGS.

Are your hogs free from lice? II
they are not. they ought to be. If they
get lousy they will not thrive as they
should, and you will not get much

They will not gain the number OF

should. for the lice get more benefit
from the feed than the hog does. 1t
does not pay to feed lice. Hogs to be
most profitable should be kept growing
from the time OF their birth until ma
tured. as it takes certain amount of
feed to sustain life. and when the hogs
are in condition in which they are
making no gain all the feed they con-
