A Book of House Plans.

During the last decade great i'm
provements have been made by the
farmers of the northwest, not alone
in the use of modern machinery, up-to-
date fencing, etc., but in the general
architectural construction of their
homes. Years ago we had not the IA
cilities for securing up-tO-date con-
structive material; today we have, and
the changes are manifest in the con-
tinued Improvement of the horoes and
outbuildings among the farms. Messrs.
Knapp and West, architects, on the
third floor, Colman building, Seattle,
are to a considerable extent respon-
sible for some of the architectural
beauty which is to be found through
out the rural districts in Washington.
This firm publishes at an exception
ally reasonable figure a Book of
Plans" which contains the actual plans
for nearly one hundred different de-
signs of homes. Their advertisement
is to be found in every issue of The
Ranch and we recommend any of our
readers who anticipate building new
home to write for their booklet to the
address given in their advertisement

says, to serve them is to parboil them
then slice them and broil them on a
buttered gridiron over a clear fire.
Still another way: Parboil them,
scrape them, place them in a dripping
pan and let them bake half an hour
Sweet potatoes roasted with meat
are delicious; they are also nice par
boiled, sliced, then sprinkled with
sugar and baked.
Dreamed sweet potatoes is favorite
dish at our house. To prepare 1t, pare
the sweet potatoes, cut them in quar-
ters, lengthwise, drop them in boiling
water and let them boil steadily until
they can easily be pierced with fork;
then drain them quite dry and add
piece of butter the size of hens egg,
a pinch of salt, a little white pepper,
a teaspoonfull of sugar sprinkled even
ly over them, and a half cup of good
sweet cream; cover tightly and let
them stand on the stove about i've
minutes before serving.
Sweet potato soup is made as fol-
lows: Boil sweet potatoes until they
can be mashed through a colander,
then return them to the water in
which they were boiled, add pepper,
salt and butter to taste and serve with
croutons.
Cold boiled sweet potatoes may be
pared, cut in slices and fried in butter,
when they will be as good as when
first cooked. They may also be mash
ed through a colander, and made into
pie, using the same ingredients as
for squash pie. 1t is considered by
many as superior to squash or pump
kin pie.

How to Can Peas.

Use peas that are young and fresh
from the vines; wash and scald them,
fill them into jars; adjust the rubbers
Cover the bottom of a wash-boiler with
either a perforated rack or twist OF
hay. Fill the jars with cold water
and set them in the boiler. Surround
them with cold water. Put the lids
loosely on top; cover the wash-bo1ler
and keep the water boiling continuous
ly for three hours. Lift he jars care
fully, screw down the lids, put them
back and let the water boil around
them for half an hour longer. Take
out the Jars and, when cool, examine
them to see that the tops are firmly
fixed.
Do not sit down in darkened room
till you notice where the f1y-paper is
located; but if you get into it by &C
cident, clean it off your clothing with
alcohol, and then wash and press the
soiled place.
Sour milk in which soda has been
thoroughly dissolved, in the proper
ton of one-quarter teaspoOnful of soda
to one cupful of milk, can be used as
sweet milk if only a little less baking
powder is used in the flour.
These August days suggest the need
of cooling drinks. After hours OF te-
dious toiling the farmer likes drink
that will satisfy his thirst, and summer
beverages not too sweet will quench
thirst as nothing else will do. A
pleasant drink is made from the juice
of oranges and lemons, using more OF
the orange juice than the lemon. About
four lemons and half-dozen oranges
will furnish enough juice for one and
one-half gallons. After adding water,
put the mixture on the ice to cool.
Coloring it with some kind OF fruit
Juice gives this cooling drink an at
tractive look.

Hot Weather Diets.


During August, neither meat MOI
starchy and fatty foods should be eat
en- to any extent, says the Farm Jour
nal. Succulent vegetables and fresh,
ripe, uncooked fruits ought to make
most of the bill-of-fare. Vegetable soup
is nourishing and, in a measure, takes
the place of meat. Peas, beans, corn,
optatoes, ETC., are al suitable for max
ing it, Boil the vegetables in just
enough water to cover them. When
done, add some fresh milk to this wa
ter 1t may be thickened either with
some of the vegetables mashed through
a colander or sieve, or with two table
spoonfuls each of butter and flour
rubbed together; or will be even more
nourishing if, in addition, the yolk of
an egg is stirred in, just as the soup
is taken from the fire. If meats are
used, chicken fricaseed or roasted,
broiled lamb chops, or very thin slice
of broiled ham, just for a relish, are
best. Good substitutes for meat are
broiled and fried tomatoes, corn pud-
dings, succotash, macaroni with
cheese, clam soup or chowder, fresh
fish, broiled or fried. Salad, with may
onnaise or French dressing, and
slice of cheese, are also excellent.

Sweet Potatoes on the Table.

Most cooks know how to bake or
boil sweet potatoes, but there are
cooks, even in the 'sweet potato
states" who do not know how to serve
them in any other way, writes l.. I.
Twichell. She adds that they are
delicious cut in thin slices and fried
like Saratoga chips, or quartered
lengthwise, dropped into boiling lard
and allowed to cook until they are
tender. Another very nice way, she

For years the publisher of the
journal has been an ardent aud
consistent advocate of drainage,
more especially the drainage o
state swamp lands as Congress
contemplated when they were
given to the state by the act of
1860, but we heartily agree with
the Rush City Post when it says
"Northern Minnesota is getting
a surfeit Of injurious advertising.
The idea, gathered from the
public press, that northern Min
nesota is pestiferous bog, only
capable of breeding mosquitoes
and public parks, is a libel on the
situation. This drainage fad is
running all to tops, like the east
erners' potatoes, and i'm migra
ton will shunt across the border
into the British Dominions to
avoid the much advertised nui-
sance. Greenbush Journal.

The Bond Issue.

The PEOPLE Of the city gener-
+ ally are taking an interest in the
proposed issue Of $25, 900 bonds,
which will bevoted upon at a
special election called for that
purpose next Tuesday. While
sentiment is almost unanimous
IN favor of the bond proposition,
a few residents of the city have
questioned the legality Of the
bonds and fear that the council
will be unable to dispose of them
after they are voted. In a com
munication Ito the Pioneer last
night. City Attorney Russell
fully explains the legal phase Of
the proposition and quotes the
law under which it is proposed
TO issue the bonds. The explain
alton, it is believed, will be sufi-
Gent to satisfy the minds of those
who have questioned the legality
of the bonds, provided they are
voted, and there should be no op-
position whatever at the polls
next Tuesday, as the city's ur-
gent need of a bond issue has
been explained at length by
Mayor Carter and the mem bers
of the finance committee of the
city council.
Every intelligent citizen of the
city knows that a sewerage sys-
tenn is needed and that the only
manner in which the council can
proceed to provide such system
lis to bond the city and assess the
cost to the property which it
benefits, who have three years in
which to reimburse the city for
the improvement.
It is to the interest of every
citizen and taxpayer that a large
vote be cast in favor of the bonds
at the election next Tuesday
that a good premium can be Sc
cured with the sale of the bonds.
