and satisfactory this summer that It is

second, to the Improvement of the

too good for the up to date farmer.

ABOUT A PIE.

We had occasion to buy pie - a
pumpkin pie recently. We obtained it
at a caffetaire which the best cooks Of
the city-ladies were supposed to sup
ply, and we took the pie without ques-
ton upon the strength of the reputa-
ton of the institution. Dear me, how
we got fooled! That pie was conceived
in ignorance and brought forth in In
competence a culinary aggregation of
flour, lard, uncooked pumpkin and
sugar, with crust like hard pine
shingle and a barbarian slop for a
filling which the hogs would shun.
This thing cost 20 cents, a good stiff
price for first class pfe. 1t needed
hammer and cold chisel to quarter It.
And this was supposed to be the prod
uct of up to date twentieth century
cooking! What was the woman think
ing Of when she concocted this abom-
nation? Wonder who she was and
what sort of husband she cooks for.
Why has he not sued for divorce be-
fore this, or Is she killing him by
inches, he fooled in the belief that she
is a good cook, after all? Women are
witched today on art, music, clubs and
public affairs when one-half of them
need nothing SO bad as to learn TIE
simple A B G Of good cooking and
home making. Young man, look UP
the cooking pedigree of the girl you
are thinking of marrying, for if you
marry girl with pretty face and
who makes pies like the enc we bought
YOU have struck O proposition which
will worry you as long as you live, if
she doesn't kill you off pretty young.

entirely so long as his strength lasts,

has earned the right to do only just so
mach hard work as he feels like doing

likes to do. This should be the old

We are often asked where is the best
place to keep seed corn after it has
been selected and gathered. In a
general way, it may be said any place
is good where the frost will not touch
it during the winter. This may be
down In a dry cellar-no better place
than this-or it may be in an attic or
unused chamber Of the house. The
barn, the corncrib and over the grain
bins are each bad places for it. Any
way, it needs picking and drying be-
fore it is frozen, or, no matter how
good care you may take Of it during
the winter, you will be simply caring
for corpse.

The benefits associated with the old
fashioned method of stacking the small
grain as soon as it was dry after cut
ting are SO great that the common way
Of thrashing from the shock is simply
wasteful in comparison When stack
ed the grain is Of better quality, as the
sweat which it goes through in the
stack is highly beneficial to it, insur-
ing a better color and greater weight.
Then the straw is of much greater feed
ing value, coming out nice and bright
in the late fall for winter feeding. But
greater than either of these reasons is
the chance which stacking gives for a
man to clear his fields in early August
and get his blowing done early, when
blowing kills all the weeds and puts
the soil into the best condition for
succeeding crop. 1t would be a good
thing, In the long run, If no machine
had ever been invented which would
thrash over 400 bushels Of grain III
day. Then men would all stack their
grain and be gamers in the long run.

We are asked whether it pays a farm
er to save his own garden seeds. We
think not, as general thing. A few
sorts, such as pumpkin, squash, melon,
cucumber, beans and peas, it is well
to save, but for the rest they can be
more cheaply obtained from some reli-
able seed house. He should not fail
TO save his own seed corn, however,
and the saving Of it is one of the most
important duties which the fall brings.
It sometimes happens that grandpa or
grandma will take lots Of pleasure
and much pains to save a supply of al
garden, seeds, which they should be By
all means allowed to do.

A friend writes us inquiring whether
the fall is good time to set out our
common forest trees. If the ground is
well soaked, as it is generally this fall.
there is no better time to set these
trees than just as soon as they shed
their leaves. IT the ground is very
dry it is better 10 wait until spring.
Whenever set, however, the top Of the
tree should be cut back to correspond
with the reduced root system. Forest
trees should be of medium size for
transpianting, not over three inches
through, as then they will be more
lihely to live and will make better
trees than If larger ones are selected
for planting. We have had the best
success in cutting the top down to Il
bare pole.
