IN COOKING MEAT,
Care should BE Taken to Preserve
the Juices.


Except for soup stock, meat should
be cooked in way to preserve its
juices. In the first few minutes of
boiling Ii should be subjected to a
temperature higher than boiling point,
SO that a crust will form and keep in
the juices. Then the temperature
should be lowered and the meat merely
simmered till done.
In roasting and broiling the same
principle Is followed. The meat is put
directly Into an extremely hot oven or
over the flames and allowed to become
scared over the surface, after which
the temperature Is lowered.
For soup stock meat should be put
into cold stock or water and gradually
brought to the boiling point In order
that the juices may flow from 1t, add
Ing strength to the stock
When roasting beef some housewives
to give 1t favor rub the surface with
.an onion or place an onion on top of it,
A certain housewife who prepares
delicious roasts says that she never
bastes her meat with water, but uses
the drippings instead.

In late May and through much Of
June pastures are flush and grasses
very tender and succulent. The grass
In at times 'washy," and hay or other
dry feed Is then necessary in the ration
to correct the tendency to ranknees in
the milk and an inferior butter prod
uct Then comes usually time when
grass is in best estate. and the cows
may need little else, though a small
quantity Of other feed is not amiss In
the manger. Finally arrive the hot
winds and dry pastures, and silage
comes to its own. Some good dairy
men claim that cows never do better
than when at this period Of the pas
lures the cows are kept on silage and a
little grazing. One man resorts to par
tal soiling. He cuts the best of the
meadow grass and feeds In the manger
at evening and turns the cows on the
pasture early In the morning while 1t
Is still dewy and cool. Later In the
season he cuts oats and afterward
green corn instead Of the grass and
feeds both night and morning.

summertnu the Pig.

With the present outlook for good
prices for pork, the producers can care
for and feed the pigs with the assur-
ance that they will be well repaid.
The large supply of old corn available
to feed In connection with pastures
makes the opportunity to secure a good
profit on the pigs that are on hand an
ideal one. Grain, house Stops, skim
milk or whey, fed while the pigs get a
good supply OF grass and some exercise
In the open field, will make pork cheap
ly and of the best quality.
At present the system of pork pro-
duction is well defined one and gen
orally understood. Instead Of keeping
pigs until they are from year to one
and half and two years old before
begin to crowd them and fatten for
market, I begin while the pigs are yet
young and crowd them along to a
weight that the market demands. But
few are kept on the farm until they are
more than ten months old. now have
two crops of pigs, one In the fall and
the other during the spring, says a cor
respondent OF American Agriculturist.

toward the most northern limit of al
falfa growing the season may be too
short for the plant to get sufficiently
well started with fan seeding to sur
vive the winter Spring seeding Is still,
on the whole, the more general prac-
tice.
The young alfalfa plant Is one of the
weakest among farm crops, grows
slowly, is easily checked or killed by
weeds or by unfavorable conditions OF
the soil. weather or trea tment for some
time after starting from the seed. The
young plantlet, slender and delicate, Is

are cut or grazed of the stalk dies
down to the very base, and new buds
are produced on the upper part or
crown of the root. The plants do not
reach full growth until the third year

produces q great many stems and
forms q strong tuft Of excellent fodder

The Late Cabbage.

CabbaGes are not appreciated as they
deserve in some sections. They pro-
duce more bulky, juicy food for the
labor than anything except corn fod-
der, and they can be fed late In the
season after green fodder has gone.
The cabbage crop is bow with two
strings-the market string and the fod-
der string. Farmers who grow II
every year will sometimes be able to
use the market string to good adyan-
tage and sell at least a part of the
crop at good price in the nearest
city. Other years 1t pays best to feed
II all out for fodder.-American Guilt
