THE Farmers Institute which
meets in Brownsville on Feb. 9,
may mean a great deal for the
farmers and truck frowers of this
section, or it may very little. II
you attend and profit by the prac-
teal talks of the gentlemen III
charge and also by the interchange
of ideas as 10 the methods best
adapted to farming and truck grow
ing in this section, the meeting
will be productive of much good
to all, but If you stay away and
criticise, and make no effort toward
making the affair a representative
and successful one. il will mean
very little to you. Truck growing
and farming are both comparatively
in their infancy in this section, and
the practical experience of such
men as Prof. J. w. Carson, who
will have charge of the meeting,
ably assisted by Prof. II. p. Har-
rington, Prof. l.. G.. Green and w.
T.. Singleton, all of whom are the
highest authority in their respec-
tive lines, can not fail to make the
meeting one productive of much
good. Mistakes are often made in
the development of a new section,
and many of these may be avoided
by taking advantage of this Farm
ers' Institute. Our own people will
doubtless be called upon to give
their views and experiences along
the different lines discussed, all of
which will be conducive to a more
thorough grasp of conditions which
exist here, and THE HERALD hopes
every one even remotely interested
will use hiS>best efforts for the sue
cess of the meeting. The Board
of Trade will attend to the enter
tanning of the gentlemen who will
have charge of the Institute, and
their past successes in this direc-
ton leave no doubt that the gen
tlemen will be well cared for.

Some Choice Recipes


Ham Salad-Chop lean, cold
boiled ham very fine, and mix
with lettuce leaves cut in fine
shreds, using the outer but tender
leaves. Reserve the inner leaves
for a cup to hold the salad. Mix
with the following dressing, ar
range on the lettuce and serve.
Mix a level tablespoon of salt, a
rounding tablespoon of butter, a
level teaspoon each of pepper, SUI
gar and dry mustard. Add a cup
of vinegar and beat; then add three
well-beaten eggs and cook in
double boiler until thick. Cool and
add one cup of cream beaten. If
half of the dressing is needed, add
but half the cream, as it does not
keep as we'll after the cream is add
ed.
Potato Cakes To one pint of
hot mashed potato add one pint of
sifted -four, two tablespoons of
melted butter, a pinch OF salt, one
half a yeast cake dissolved in one
quarter cup of lukewarm water and
enough milk to make a batter like
griddle cake batter. Cover and let
rise till very light and spongy,
then add one-quarter level tea
spoon of soda dissolved in a tea
spoon of warm water, and Eli
muffin tins or gem pans tso-thirds
full. Let rise rigb: and bake.
When done serve with fricasseed
or stewed CHICKEN in place of dunn
plings.
Steamed Corn Bread-Sift four
cups of cornmeal, two cups of -four,
a level teaspoon each of salt and
soda together twice. Mix with two
cups of sweet milk, two cups of
sour milk and one cup of molasses.
Pour into a buttered mould and
steam four hours. Serve hot.
Apples With DateS-Select large
sour apples, pare and core; do not
try to core them without a regular
corer, which costs bat FIVE cents
and does the work neatly. Fill the
of the apples with sugar
and chopped dates. Put into a bak-
ing dish with water to come half
way up the apples. Basic several
times while baking; take up on a
dish without breaking, pour the
syrup round. then sprinkle powder (
ed sugar over the top.
Marshmallow Cake-Cream one /
half cup of butter and one cup of
powdered sugar, add one teaspoon
of vanilla, two cups of flour, sifted |
with two level teaspoons of baking
powder, one-half cup of milk, and I
last the stifly beaten whites of four
eggs. Bake in two layers.
For the frothing melt half a I
pound of marshmellows in a bowl
set in a dish of hot water. Spread |
between the cakes and over the top. |

Growth of Cremation

The crematorium near Leeds is
near completion. For many years
the only crematorium in Great
Britain was at Working, outside
London Now there are nearly a
score in all parts of the country,
and every year sees an increase in
the number of those who resort to
the process. Hull has had one for
a few years, and Bradford and
other big centres of population are
taking steps in the same direction.

Among the numerous supersti-
tons of the Cossacks there is none
stronger than the belief that they
will enter heaven in a better state
if they are personally clean at the
time they are killed. Before an
expected battle they perform their
toilets with scrupulous care, dress
themselves in clean garments and
put on the best they have. This
superstition is not confined to the
Cossacks alone, but is prevalent, it
is said, in all branches of the Rus
sian army.

Wafles, Eggs and Matrimony.

At the next meetings of the
various women's clubs il might be
advisable to take up the interesting
case Of Miss Alice Sanborn and
Miss Elizabeth Donohue, who have
secured husbands, the first by the
charming manner III which she
made waifles and the second by
the gracious way in which she
fried eggs. We realize that there
are more serious problems in the
emancipation of true womanhood
than the construction OF waliles
and the frying of eggs, and yet
these are the details of life not 10
be utterly despised and neglected.
If Alice and Elizabeth had not
been at the gas stove when Eugene
and Harry called, but had been
down at the club reading papers
on the trne obligations of the home,
it may be that the double wedding
would not have been celebrated
and four gladstone hearts would
have beaten merrily as two. A
carefully fried egg and a neatly
turned waffle will make more pro-
gress in the esteem and affection
Of a warm-hearted, sympathetic
man than twenty essays of the
pen-and-ink description. This is
