Hot Weather Sets Stamp of
Approval on the New Style
of Serving.
DIRECTIONS FOR SERVING
IN PREPARING A COLD MEAL,
TABLE DECORATIONS SHOULD
BE KEPT IN MIND-WHITE is
THE BEST COLOR.

There is a fashion in vogue just
now which appeals both to the house
wife and the d-be-hostess-that.
Of serving only cold dishes for din
ner when the weather is warm. This
gives a chance for the house and
family to grow COG. and comfortable
before the meat is served, and enter
tanning becomes a pleasure instead
OF burden; while the dinner if made
as they should be is far more appetite
ing than if it consisted of hot roasts
and vegetables, with perhaps a pud-
ding to follow. A company dinner
may have a table set with a huge
bowl of well opened white garden
roses standing on either a fat mir
ror or a sheffield tray. The candles
and shades may be white and the lit
tie cakes and bonbons on the table.
White decorations are always best
with cold dinner as they add to the
effect of GOODNESS. With the excep-
ton of iced bouillon, soup is now
seldom seen at cold dinners, but the
fish course follows the fruit.
Small cantaloups. soft shell crabs
with sauce tartare.
Brown bread and butter, asparagus
with French dressing.
Slices of fresh tongue with mace
doine of vegetables, Pineapple salad
with waters and cheese, Strawberry
jelly cups filled with ice cream, cakes
coffee.
Have the halves of melon on small
plates placed on the usual service
plates when the guests come to the
table; chill the fruit thoroughly but
do not put ice inside the halves. To
make it soggy, arrange spray OF
Maiden hair fern on each plate. Cold
crabs are most appetizing, but if they
cannot be procured, have instead
slices of cold boiled fish of any sort
tartare as arranged The tongue is
to be boiled the day before it is need
ed, sliced and surrounded with a bor-
der of cooked vegeta bles, all well sea-
soned and chilled; small string
beans mixed with peas, lima beans,
bits of sliced okra, or asparagus tips,
are a good selection.
For the salad, get very large pine
apple and also a very small one.
Pare the first, remove the eyes and
pick it up in good sized bits. Arrange
them on a round platter, on white let
tuce hearts and in the center put the
half of the small pineapple, without
pareing it, it's inside removed and the
space filled with stiff mayonnaise.
The desert is made by filling cups
with the strawberry jelly, which
comes in packages and letting these
stand all night. When needed they
are to be turned out, the centers
scooped out with a narrow teaspoon
and the space filled with a rich
white, home made ice cream; this is
really a beautiful dish If desired a
wine jelly made at home may be sub
stituted for the strawberry.
To transform this with a plain
home dinner have only the melons,
the tongue, with two vegetables, the
salad and the ice cream without the
jelly.
Meats which are excellent for cold
dinners are lamb, veal, jellied chick
en-, creamed chicken, made stiff with
gelatine and sliced smoked tongue
served with dressed lettuce, turkey
and duck the latter is especially nice
with cold peas, mixed with stiff may
onnoise.

Nice People.


The people that we meet in books
Are clever, kind and sweet;
The men are brave and stout of heart,
The ladies fit to eat,
Unless they are the other kind.
The villains dark and deep,
Who hatch up plots and work them
While other people sleep.
They have no cares about the rent
Or anything like that;
The ladies never have to beg
Their husbands for a hat:
They hire cab or take the train
And go most anywhere
And never stop to think about
A vulgar thing like fare.
They live in some fine mansion or
A cottage by the sea;
Their visitors can stay a week,
And everything is free;
They have a gardener and a maid,
A coachman and man,
And all of their arrangements run
On some self working plan.
No bill collector comes around
To mar life's placid flow;
No landlord says the rent is due
And they must pay or go;
For panics, boycotts. lockouts. strikes
They do not care a rap
In fact, in every way their lives
Are what you'd call snap.

PEDIGREE PLANTS.
Real Necessity of Pedigree-SO Called
Pedigree Strawberries.

Real Necessity of Pedigree-SO Called
Pedigree Strawberries.
w. J. GREEN and F. H. BALLOU, Ohio
experiment station.
The word pedigree has come to be
used with reference to plants In
sense which conveys a meaning that is
altogether untruthful. An animal with
a pedigree is one having a known an
cestry. The parentage on both sides
must be known for one or more gen.
erations. 1t has not been the custom
among plant breeders, however, to keep
that is, pedigrees have not been estab-
lished, except very rarely. A pedigree
in the case of variety Of plants prOpa-
gated from seeds, as in the case Of veg
etableS or grains, might have great
value because it is the aim Of the grow
er of such plants to secure uniformity
in the product and to develop strain
which will come true from seeds.
Propagation by Division and Seed.
Any variety of plants which is prop
agated by means Of cuttings, layers,
runners, CRAFTS or by any method Of
division may have a pedigree, but its
value would not be enhanced thereby.
Plants which are propagated by divi-
sion come just as nearly true-that is,
are not more inclined to vary or sport
with a poor as with good ancestry.
A Seeding from Ben Davis would when
mn tod NV RI wi f0
quite as well as one from Grimes
Golden. In the case Of varieties OF
plants which are propagated from seeds
the type is fixed and held by selection,
and the more careful the selection, or,
in other words, the better the pedigree,
the more firmly the type becomes fixed
and the better the variety. With plants
which are propagated by division selec-
ton has nothing to do with the fixed
ness Of the variety. Plants of this
class are more firmly fixed by nature
as to type than are those which are
propagated from seeds.
To Secure a Plant Pedigree.
To secure a variety Of strawberry
with pedigree two varieties must be
crossed when in bloom. This process
may be continued with the progeny in
definitely, and if a record is kept of the
parentage the result is a variety with
a pedigree. The mere selection of
plants Of variety, without regard to
both male and female parents, does
not establish a pedigree. A pedigree
variety can only be established by
growing plants from seed, and a seed
ling with a pedigree of the class OF
plants which are propagated by divi-
sion is no better than one without, be-
cause the good qualities Of the ances-
tors may or may not be transmitted.
There is nothing in a pedigree of plants
of this class which will help to fix and
hold the type as with plants grown
from seed, nor does a pedigree in the
case of such plants insure a better per-
Torrance.

Advantages Over HOtbed-PIan For a
Cheap Structure.
A greenhouse has many advantages
over the hotbed. One can put in many
a pleasant hour caring for growing
plants in the stormy days of early
spring, when it would be very disagree
able to do the same work if hOtbeds
were to be used. Another advantage is
that we can control the heat which is
so essential to the growth of early
plants. Insect pests can be subdued
by fumigation or otherwise. The dam
ger from drawing plants from the lack
of ventilation is reduced. Stocky and
vigorous plants are almost q certainty
if a reasonable amount Of attention is
paid to watering and ventilation.
It is of some advantage to have cold
frames in connection with a green
house for transplanting early vege-
table plants when the season is far
enough advanced that there is no dan
ger from heavy frosts. 1t is a well
known fact that most vegetable plants
are benefited by transplanting. whether
1t be in cold frame in the open ground
or in pots. After the vegetable plants

just Beginning to Grow Corn.

Up to the beginning of this young
century our amazing development in
corn production is merely a record Of
charging areas. Average yields per
acre were as good forty and fifty years
ago as now. A new condition con-
fronts this generation-we can no lon
ger make vast additions to the area.
Increasing yields per acre is the future
corn problem. In the light of recent de-
velOpments we may almost say that we
have just begun to raise corn. Holden,
Hopkins and others are showing the
way, which is not closed to any one
Our possibilities are immeasurabIy
greater than anything the past has seen
if we but study the problem of greater
yields. Let us be grateful for corn, for
the fair reward it brings us, for the
lifeblOod it puts into our business and
physical being, for the knowledge now
available to us and for the promise that
it's golden harvest shall not dwindle in
years to CONGREGATIONAL Stockman.
