How to Cook Squash

Nearly everyone is willing to con-
cede to the squash the honor Of first
place among the vegetables which
grace the American table. Even a
poor squash-one of those watery,
Stringy kinds good, and a real good
squash. one of those dry mealy Hub
bard fellows, is the Qu%intescence of
astronomical ecstasy. There are
lots of ways to cook a good squash,
zoo, but it is mighty hard to spoil one
no matter how you go at it. But
there is always n best way-a way
that beats all the good ways a long
way-and we will tell you what it is
so you can try it for yourself-same
as we did last Sunday when even fried
spring chicken was passed up to leave
room for a second helping. Like the
recipe for baked postum, first get a
good squash. Cut up as much of it as
you think you will need for the meal,
into pieces about four or five inches

Electricity VS.. Horses

1t is said that the electric railway
companies il: indiana, which state is
covered. by,a close net work of trolley
lines, are..trying to induce the farm
ers of that state along their lines to
dispense with horse power and adapt
electricity to their various farm
operations. They claim they can
convince the farmers that electricity
is very much cheaper and decidedly
more convenient, also fully as safe.
A farmer in Michigan claims that he
has now perfected an eight horse
power motor that will cost about $500,
not more than a good team of horses,
capable of doing much more service
than any team. 1t will move a heavy
load at a speed of eight miles an
hour over the highway and perform
much more rapidly any kind Of field
work for which horses are used, be-
sides answering the purpose of a
stationery engine. Nevertheless, it

Where They Grow Spuds

In view of the fact that potatoes

attention some information concern
ing the localities where the bulk Oh

The potato crop of 1904 beat a re-
cord, being 40 100000 bushels more
than the banner crop of 1896. me
three years totals are: 1902, 2o4'ooo'
600 bushels: 1903, 247, 900, 900 bushels,
1901. 332,o 0 1000 bushels, twenty

New York is the champion potato
state. The east end of Long Island
is all one potato patch. Potato
schooners haul up at little docks any
where. Michigan and Wisconsin tie
for second place. Then, in order,
come Pennsylvania, Iowa, Maine,
Ohio, Illinois. Colorado has come to
be quite a factor in the potato mar
ket. She supplies the Southern and
Southwestern markets, principally
Texas. Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory, also Kansas and Western Ne
braska. Potatoes are the fourth lar
gest farm crop in this country, and
are a very important article OF com
merce, an article found on the tables
of rich and poor every meal. ST.
Louis is an important potato market,
being a distributing point for North

Cottonwood Leaf Rust
By GEO. b. DAILY

Very few cottonwood trees in this
county escaped what people were at a
loss to say ..what-it was, rust lice or
blight. The leaves just showed
specks then shriveled up and died.
Leaves thus affected were sent to
Brookings. Prof. Hanson pronounced
the trouble cottonwood leaf rust.
He does not seem to apprehend any
very serious results to trees affected
by it. 1t seems that the presence of
this rust was quite generally observed
throughout the state.

CHIN WHISPERS

Twas in the hush of early. autumn'siday
And all without was solemn. like and still,
Where prone in troubled sleep our barber lay,
And dreams crept in DER memory's wearied sill.
He seemed to see a horde Of fluffy things
Arranged in ~vestures of the pureSt white,
Which laid their clamy fingers on his brow
And vanished with a warning in the night;
prepare thou foolish mortal, for the. blast
OF coming winter fingers at the gate
And we, the snowflake fairies, warn thee now,
To grow chin whiskers ERE it is too late.''
Then Talbot woke, with chilly fear at heart;
He knew nor cared not whence the spirits fled.
But rose in haste, andskindled up a fire
To warm a fat iron to put in his. bed.
The night wore on, but Talbot could not sleep.
His fingers restless sought his stubby cheeks;
''The warning Of the fairy fakes is good
I'll grow a bunch of beauties in a week,
III rub in Danderine, I'll get Munro
To give mychin a good shampoo.each day
And when they're grown. I'll bet you then-Oh!
JOY
Ny barber work will just be simply play
Myright hand will the flashing scissors WELD,
My left thru tangled locks the comb will rush,
And then as tho it were another hand
I'll use my stubby jaw bone for a brush"
Now, stranger. if you journey thru the town,
And wonder at the muddy, slushy road
Remember that our barber let them grow
And then we'll then the next day, then it

A TRIP TO THE GREAT WEST
E. J. Magness Writes of His Trip to Colorado and Tells of the
 Western Country.
To The Newark Journal:

lhlnKlng perhapS some oi our friends would like to hear some thing of Colorado, l will, by your permission, relate few of the in- cidents of our trip.
 We left home July 12 and made connections at Newport 0. K. but were caught behind a wreck at Poplar Bluff, putting Us into St Louis six or eight hours late. We were in St. Louis several hours, leaving there at 10 p. m. over the Missouri Pacific. Our trip through Missouri was made at night, so we saw very little of the country. Me got breakfast in Kansas City, and were there long enough to permit them to clean the cars, then we took the same car. One thing in particular that impressed me was the number of railroads through the city; it is certainly great railroad center. We travelled through the best part of Kansas in day time, and saw some very fine country. Of course wheat is the principal crop and we saw inn mense fields of the yellow grain that is, where it had been, for the harvest was about over and everywhere the big steam thresh- CTS were busy turning out thous- ands upon thousands of bushels for the market. The eastern part of the state is as fine q country as one would wish to see, but the western part Is devoted almost entirely to stock raising. We were all day and night in Kansas, arriving at Sugar City, Colo, about sun-up next morning, where we changed our time to Western time. Sugar City is only a small place and=de- riyes its name from the big beet sugar factory at that place. Not long after leaving Sugar City we saw old Pike's Peak, but the dis tanee was so great it looked like I small hill or mound. We saW thousands of prairie dogs on the plains, percheu on their mounds ready at the first sign of danger to dart into their dens. The prairie dogs, owls and rattIesnales all oc- cupy the same home, at least they tell me so here. and as m a ten der foot l must take 1t for grant ed.
 As we neared the mountains the air became clearer and much cool er snd we could see the snow glist- ening on the peakes. We arrived at Pueblo about 9 O clock Saturday morning and found we had only about 20 minutes for breakfast which seemed very short time te crowd of starved Arkansas travellers. We crossed a small stream at Pueblo and were sur prised when told it was the Ark ansaS river. We would call t [ creek in our country, for at Pueb- 10 it was no larger than Dota. Ne were now in ,lght of the Rockies and the air is so clear and dry theA looked much nearer than they real ly were. At one point We wert discussing with other passengers R. to the distance to the foot O Pike's Peak. Most of them agreed it couldn' { be over one mile and ; half. but we were told by an olt settler that 1t was at least nint miles. We arrived at Colorado Springs and stopped for 15 or ? minutes. We didn't see any O the city, except in the immediate neighborhood of the depot, but eX pect to see it later. Our next stol of any consequence was at Denver

The Newark journal., 1905-08-25

We saw but little of Denver but was fayorably impressed with what we did see. The streets are clean and it has some splendid buildings. There are hundreds of tourists coming and going con stantly. We expect to spend few days in Denver on our return.
 We left Denver at 1 o'clock and arrived at Greeley at s, where we were met and welcomed by Mrs. Hail and her family. We had a pleasant stay in Greeley, for two weeks. It is beautiful little city with splendid wide streets shaded by large trees and has fine park near the center of the town. This is strictly q ''dry" town, no Iiq- uors sold or given away. 1t has IT churches and three ward schools besides the high school; also the State Normal School. It has about t. .000 inhabitants, all white, and Is surrounded by one of the finest farming countries in the world. To tell the truth I'm struck on the town and don't know but what may make it my home some day. They have electric lights, gas lights and fine system of water works, sewerage, etc. They have q good fire department and l saW them demonstrate it's usefulness last week. One of the gas plant, had an awful explosion and was soon all afiame. l was only a few blocks away and l got there about the time the fire department arriy- ed. They soon had two streams of water playing on 1t and#5a a short time had it under control.
 Think of the thousands of dol lars that could have been saved to Newark if we had water works.
 took q trip out in the farming country and saw some 0p-todate ranches. l saw hundreds of acres of potatoes (Spuds they call them here, sugar beets, wheat. etc. Of course everything is irrigated. | saw great reservoirs I mile long where they store water for irfiga ton. The rivers are drained til they are no larger than q small creek. There are six or sever sugar factories within 5o miles ol each other. They have one here also large flour mill. two staref factories. pickle factory, brick yards, etc.
 One morning We took the Colo rado and Southern for Boulder Nearly the entire distance va, through a splendid farming coun try. Every town between Gree ley and Boulder has sugar fac tory. l was particularly impress. ed with Fort Collins a town ot 1000 or 5000 people. The State
The Newark journal., 1905-08-25

Agricultural College is located there and the town is surrounded by a fine country. l saw some beautiful cherry orchards near the city. The Agricultural College is splendid institution, teaching up- to-date farming, stock raising, il- ragation, etc. We were met at Boulder by MT. and Mrs. Uric, (Mrs. Uric was formerly Miss Le- na HaiD and taken to their home.
 Boulder is right at the foot of the mountains, and k q town of ten or twelve thousand people, supported chiefly by the mining camps in the hills The State University is located in Boulder. They have an annual chautauqua which attracts people from all sec tions. But Texas seems to be the best represented of the states; in fact 1t was established by Texas people. William Jennings Bryan aud Sam Jones were two of their speakers. but was in Greeley at the time and could not go, on ac- count of sickness in the famiIy.=I was told, however, that the big auditorium could not accomodate the immense crowds that wanted to hear Bryan. He seems to be as greatly in demand aS erer-md d. ways attracts great crowds where eyer he goes.
