PUTTING UP TOMATOES.

Preserved Where other fruits fail,
very good preserves may be made from
tomatoes the size of peaches. The vel
low kinds are preferred, as they
more nearly resemble peaches after be-
Ing preserved. Pick good-sized yellow
tomatoes not too ripe, wash and dry
them, and prick them with a fork, and
lay them in a dish to drain for half
day. Make a syrup of three-fourths of
a pound of sugar to each pound of to-
matoes, add a lemon cut in slices,
then the tomatoes, and cook slowly for
an hour; remove the tomatoes, and
boil slowly until the syrup is of the
consistence Of molasses; add the to-
matoes, boil up, and can in the usual
way.

THE FARM
CROPS FOR HOGS.

Virginia Experiment Station, Black
burg, Va January 20.-Any farmer can
select six-acre tract of land convenient
TO his barn and divide it off as follows:
Inc tract or land selected should be
rather long and narrow, and a roadway
should be left along one side.
Divide the land into six equal areas by
means of permanent fences
The first area should be seeded to
grass. In some sections blue grass will
be used; in others orchard grass
and still others, Bermuda. The tenn
porary or permanent shelters for the
hogs should be erected on this section
OF land. These need cost very little
for suitable shelter for a brood SOW
and her litter can be built at a cost of
$500 or $1,000.
Section two should be seeded to sor-
ghum as early in the spring as posi-
BILE. After it is grazed down, seed to
winter oats and hairy vetch, or crimson
clover may be used. This will furnish
some late fall and early spring grazing
On section three SOW cowpeas as ear
ly In the spring as possible. After the
cowpeas are grazed down, put in Grim
son clover, which will be available early
the next spring.
On section four plant Spanish pea
nuts.
On section five prepare the land with
the greatest possible care and seed al
falfa. Alfalfa will be the most desir-
able of all the grazing crops, as it can
be grazed over two or three times dur
Ing single season, and will remain on
the land for several years, if well es-
tablished.
Section six may be devoted to arti-
chokes, to furnish feed through the
late fall and winter.
Some grain should be fed to the hogs
on grazing crops-one to three pounds
per day, depending on the age and size
of the animals. An ear or two of corn
will often be all that is necessary. By
using grazing crops the corn can be
made to go much further, and a bet
ter quality of pork obtained at lower
cost per pound. Hogs kept on grazing
crops are under the very best sanitary
condition. The plan suggested will pro-
vide grazing for twenty-five or fifty
hogs, depending on the character of
the land and the crop season.
The several areas should not be kept
In the same crop from year to year, but
rotation should be practiced that will
enable variety of crops to be grown
on the land, and so preserve an equi-
librium in the oil food supply. The
utilization of grazing crops for pork
production is a matter worthy of the
most serious attention of our farmers.

Statistics are seldom so inter-
esting as romance or tragedy, but
the following figures pertaining to
the inventory recently taken OF
this place, show the magnitude of
the work. There were 321 pages,
in duplicate, making 642 in all;
thirty lines to each page making
$3.50 lines. As each line is eight
inches long, this would make 6, APO
feet or nearly II miles. There
was an average of 40 strokes ofthe
key per line, (not counting spaces)
making 1856, 200 strokes of the key.
Including spaces it would be 674,-
100 strokes. The inventory took
90 hours to write, which is at the
rate of about two strokes per
second.

Flower Day.

About thirty-ffee members of
the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union of this state visited
the institution last Sunday ard
conducted the Annual Flower Day
Service in the prison chapel. The
president of the association, Mrs.
B. Laythe Scovell, of Minneapolis,
had charge, of the program and
delivered the address of the &C.
casion. She is a very earnest
speaker and remarked that the
ladies Of the w. G. T. u. did not
come here to remind or rebuke us
for our evil ways, but that they
brought these flowers as a message
direct from our homes, q fragrant
odor that would recall the scenes
of former days. She also advised
her. audience to seek Jesus for
help. and that without his divine
guidance we could do little towards
helping ourselves to Q better and q
nobler life.
At the conclusion Of her address,
Mrs. Soovell drew attention to the

Librarians Register.

The number of books drawn
from the prison library during the
month of July was 2,287. As this
is the time of the year when light
literature generally prevails, there
were more bound magazines in de-
mand than during the preceding
months.
The books selected embrace
the following branches of litera-
ture: Fiction, 1924; Magazines,
1854; History, 1852; Science, 248;
Biography. 81; Travels, 81; Poetry,
40; Religion, 45.

Overtime Work Ceases.

The prison. twine factory dis
continued working overtime last
Friday evening. The factory
started working thirteen hours a
day on July the 5th and con-
tinued to August 5rd. In order to
fill every order received, a crew of
men was also transferred from the
shoe shop and put at work getting
out every pound that the factory
was capable of manufacturing.
The output of the plant has been
unprecedented, and every pound
of the finished material was sold.
Those who worked overtime were
rewarded by extra privileges, such
as food, tobacco, and paid tencents
an hour. These men now have to
their credit about seven dollars,
which will come in handy in sup
plying them with reading matter,
etc. There were many applica-
tons from those not working in
the factory who desired to earn a
little money. Whenever ,vacan-
cies occurred these men were &C.
commodated. This has been the
banner year for the Irvine factory.

GbautaaQua Injecting.

In the absence of the president
at last Sundays meeting of the
Chautauqua Circle, the vice. presi-
dent called the meeting to order
and, altho unprepared, SO far as
knowing the proceedings ofthe day
was concerned, he showed himself
to be- resourceful and SOON had
everything we'll in hand.
Under the head of "New Bust
ness" a member asked for informa-
ton on a subject previously taken
up in paper. and the same was at
cegiven. Itmay not be outof place
to state here that this isapractice
that is provided for in the bylaws
but is rarely taken advantage of.
1t should be encouraged if only
for the reason that was clearly
shown in the instance referred to
"a point was made clear that per-
haps had not occurred to any other
member but him who sought the
information.

circle. but it did not come to q
vote owing to the almost unani-
nous passage of asubstitute motion
to lay on the table until the next
meeting.
The first number on the program
was paper entitled "Some Phases
of International Law" and was
read by class Amember. Itdealt
chiefly with the conditions encoun-
tered during times of war and
showed wherein the various nations
differed in contending what was OF
was not contraband of war.
Protective Tariff and Free
Trade was the subject of a SUBJ
stitute report by a member of
class F. The manner in which
this gentleman handled his subject
indicated that he knows, besides
other things, something about an
issue that is usually found to be a
part of the national political plat
forms.
Not having been advised that he
would be called on for piano per-
Torrance, the musical Pierian
looked somewhat surprised when
the announcement "We will now
have piano solo by Mr.. c." was
made. But without the least ado
he complied with the request, and
demonstrated beyond all doubt his
right to the tribute paid him by
the critic on recent occasion.
A biographical sketch of Julius
Caesar was the next number, and
was contributed by the vice-presi-
dent. It depicted the political
strife during Caesars time, his con-
nection Herewith, and how he
eventually became central figure
in his day.
"The Origin of Man" was the
title of paper by a new member,
and tho he takes great interest in
the study of Darwinism and other
theories pertaining to the origin
and development of animal life,
che does not seem to be familiar
enough with it to treat comprehen-
sively so technical a subject" said
the critic. (D
With the critics review of the
program, hurried and somewhat
abbreviated for lack of time, the
meeting came to a close.

Cora Winston, of Hamline; and the

Recent press dispatches convey
the information that President
Roosevelt will soon visit Panans,
to watch them throw mud. He
need not 60 to Panama for any
suchspectacle. Why not take q
trip out to Iowa or Wisconsin, ? !
A man hauling coal near
Shamokln, Pa, recently found a
rollof bills containing 100000 I'M
denominations from 81 to $780,
He found the owner, who held up
the roll of bills, and told the
finder to close his eyes and draw
for his reward. This he did, and
drew q one dollar bill. Surveying.
it ruthfully he remarked: "Just
my luck!'
All over this land women and
girls are working in shops and fac
tories for wages which will not
permit them to live. In every city
are employers who will displace-
men with girls and women because
they will work cheaper. Such men
are willing to force these women
into lives of shame that the right
side of the factory ledger may
show a proper profit. There Will
be found a way to compel these
commercial hyenas ITO pay liv-
ing wage, whereby a woman may
earn a living and preserve her
virtue and. self-respect. Such
men dread socialism, and yet they
are the very ones who are driving
men to socialism.
A man who employs a great
many men says it is hard to find
men who will do as they are told
without arguing the question.
This is one of the worst habits a.
man can form; if you, dear reader,
are q victim. set about breaking
yourself of it. Nothing on earth
rifles an employer like the argu-
meDtative man. When a man
orders subordinate to do thing
in a certain way it is because he
has thought out his plan of opera
tions, and this order. if obeyed,
dovetailes with the balance of the.
job. Try to keep this idea always
in mind and you will keep out of
much hot water. In this connec-
ton 1 remember reading of
man who was advertising for boy.
Out of lot of applicants one
boy was finally chosen. A friend
later asked him why that particu-
lar boy was chosen. "Well." he
replied, 81 told each boy as he
came in that in certain place he
would find saw, and out in the
lot near the factory he would find
q new wagon. My orders were
to take the saw and cut the
tongue ct the wagon in half, and
every boy, save this one, tried to
argue with me and persuade me
against doing such thing. This
boy said not q word but found the
saw and did as told, SO he got the
job" This story illustrates the
