A CHINESE DINNER.
The Tidbits Were Cantonese Puppy
and EEKs Fifty Year, Old.

Az officer of the British army says
that one of the finest dinners he ever
ate was served to him by Chinese
host In HOngkong. He thus describes
1t: First on our menu came the lit.
tie oysters which cling to the bamboo
stems In the salt water marshes Of up
per China. They are, should fancy.
the smallest and the sweetest oysters
In the world. Birds nest soup follow.
ed, prepared as 1t should be- fancy
that chicken broth was the liquid to
which the nest gave Its peculiar and
attractive taste Of the sea at our feast.
and the combination was excellent. Tri-
pang. which we know MS beche- de -mer,
followed. 1t is the sen slug from the
LoochOo islands, ana served as an en-
tree II tastes very much like turtle fat,
though richer. To co,interact its rich.
ness a great china bowl of boiled BAN.
boo shoots was handed round with It.
Next came very small roast.
thought at first that II was tiny suck
ing pig, but 1t had no cracking, and
the flesh was like that of an agneau de
lait, the little lambs whose meat is
snow white. 1t was one of the Can.
tonese puppies Of particular kind,
which are doomed from birth to take
their place on the roasting spit and
which are fed on rice and milk only.
looked down the table and saw that
my friend was eating with zest. so for
the first time In my life l ute dog--and
liked 1t exceedingly. With this puppy
We're served all the vegetables In sea-
son and salad which had the taste Of
young nasturtlum leaf as Its strongest
favor. Rice birds followed. They are
smaller than Ortolans, each tiny plump
creature being but mouthful. but they
are the most delicious eating Of all the
feathered small fry.
"Nankin eggs were next brought
round. They had been buried for fifty
years, and ChinamRn detects some
special flavor In them. To me they
tasted just like an ordinary hard boiled
egg, and their appearance, being al.
most black, was not inviting. They
We're, In my opinion. the one failure OF
the dinner. The side5oard had been
spread with variety OF cold viands,
among them pheasants ana game pies
from Shanghai and Kobe round Of
splced beef. Baskets of fruit were
brought In and little orange trees In
pots, from which we were invited to
pluck the ripe fruit"

SORGHUM.


During recent trip we noted what
was really great curiosity--viz. q
twenty acre field Of sugar cane grow
Ing In the north. Thirty years ago
the growing Of patch Of sugar cane
was common thing with the pioneer
settlers. In every community would
be found mill for expressing the
Juice and boiling 1t down into mo-
lasses, which to large extent fur
nished the sweetening used by the
family Of the early settler. AS sugar
decreased In price, less and less Of
the cane was raised, until now, as
aboye stated, 1t Is rare thing to find
any sorghum grown for this purpose.
While the sorghum Is high in saccha-
rine contents, 1t was found after al.
most endless experimenting that 1t
was impossible to convert the mo-
lasses. which was easily made, into
granulatcd sugar. While sorghum has
ceased to bave any special value as
farm crop-as producer OF slrup-it
still has one great value as a forage
crop. forming most valuable hog
feed during the late summer and early
fall In connection with field of rape.
More OF 1t should be grown for this
purpose than there Is.

GRASS.

II stay by grass" was the terse and
dgniticant statement made to us re.
Gently by u successful farmer. This
Is motto worth considering, and our
friend showed much wisdom In the
saying of it. When one looks at grass
and Its relation to the soil, the force
Of this expression becomes apparent at
once. Grass Is natures benedictlon
spread over the earth. No soil ruin fol.
lows In its trail. Grass means stock
to eat 1t, and where cattle are kept
there the soil will grow constantly
richer and better. 1t is not saying too
much to assert that every farm would
be more profitable II One-half of the
area was kept continuously In grass,
and by grass we mean clover, alfalfa
and blue grass.
Few farmers understand the value Of
land kept In grass as applied to pro-
ductiOn Of meat und milk. While we
cannot accurately estimate 1t, 1t is safe
to say that the net profits connected
with good pastures are greater on the
average than net profits connected
with producing any Of our common
cereals. An acre of good blue grass
pasture devoted to the production Of
meat or milk will give man, ut pres.
ent prices for such produce, not less
than $40 per acre.

MORE RAILROAD ak
Long Prairie Papers Say
500 Wants to Reach Todd
County

Regarding the following, from tee
Long Prairie Leader. it may be said
that line reaching from Alexandria
through Long Prairie to Little Fails
would be almost an air line, and
such a line wonld 20 through a hne
region:
Although the average man is apt to
smile when you mention the pros.
poets Of new railroad through Todd
county, there is every indication that
such q road will be built within a
wear. A prominent business man,
who has just returned from a trip
through South Dakota and western
Minnesota aid who from various bust
ness dealers is more or less close to the
500 people, says that through where
he has visited it is accepted as FORE
gone conclusion that the 500 road is
to build to Duluth next summer In or.
der to give western Minnesota and
South Dakota points better market
for it's wheat ana other farm products
and also to giv7 the 500 better ter.
minal for us own, business. The gen.
tleman states that prominent 500
officials have intimated to him the
certainty of the move. Just where
the lire will pass through Todd
county can only be onjectured. If
the new line starts from the 500 road
at Parkers Prairie. it will probably
pass through Eagle Bend and Staples.
If it starts from Alexandra, it will
without doubt pass through Long
Prairie. The gentleman states that the
500 officials have for two or three
years been making their plans to tap
this the original Great Northern and
Northern Pacific territory. that they
have necet sarily had to WORK secretly
but the new line haa been decided on,
it's route selected and work will begin
with the opening of spring.

RESERVOIR SYSTEM WILL STAY.
Secretary T. Q. Gordon Of til, Water
Power Co. attended a. St. Paul last
week the hearings before the govern.
ment board OF engineers who are in
vestigating the reservoir syetem on
the upper Mississippi. There has been
an IrRsnized movement, centering at
Duluth and Cass Lake. it Is claimed,
to have the reservoir system aban-
doned. However. when it was evident
at the sentiment Of the great majority
in the towns along the river was op.
posedto action which would damage
water powers and other interests, the
extremists fell into line and denied
that they desire abandonment but
only better regulation. As all desire
this, it it is proved that regulation
mas been bad. the opposition petered
out to q great extent. It was proved
that 50 far from causing destructive
floods the dams had prevented them.
1t is likely now that there will be no
further talk Of removing the dams and
destroying the reservoir systems.
Where reliet can be given settlers, it
will be done. but no action will be ta-
ken imperiling the vast interests .long

Swanville News; The county ditch
through the big marsh just east of
tits village although not completed
yet, is proving its usefulness. The
area to be drained by the ditch com
prises something over 1900 acres Of
land that q year ago was worth moth
ing at ALL Now the water has drained
away until probably one third of the
land is nice hay meadow and was cut
over this season. The past month or
six weeks has been a further drainage
until there is practically no standing
water left, and where year ago, man
or beast could not venture, today men
are allie to 90 almost anywhere. It is
expected that within another year or
two hay can be made on most of the
land.
