The dusk of evening was lust coming

took a drop Of about four hundred feet

North owosso Farmers Club.

Friday, Jan. 26, our club met at

Mrs. w. II. Smith and family. A
number of guests were present from
the New Haven club and also from

hostess, with her assistants, served
five-course dinner that was much
enjoyed by all.

To what extent can the principles
OF plant breeding and seed select
ion be applied to farm crops? Mr..
Willoughby thinks the application
unlimited, taking for example the

Jump Up" through plant breeding
and cultivation we have the beauti-
full pansy, as is also the case with
the wild strawberry, from which,
Through cultivation, we get the
large tame berry of today. Had we
not advanced with each generation
we would not have improved the
privileges God gave us. Mr.. Place
thinks that plant breeding and seed
selection are getting to be a hob
by. He says that sixty years ago
his grandfather got variety of corn
from the indians that yielded more
than one hundred bushels per acre.
The soil and climate have much to
do with crops, and he thinks the
wild strawberry better favored than
the tame.
who is the successful farmer?'
Mr. Stiles begged to be excused.
Mr.. Place says there is the hard
working farmer and the good work
ing farmer. The latter takes care
of his tools, takes time to read and
know what others are doing. She
also thinks the successful farrer has
no more land than he can till and
does not spend his profits before he
gets them.
your method of washing dishe;;
the best way to drain or dry
them" Mrs. Smith says to put the
worst dishes to soak, then wash
rlasses first, silver next, then the
China and then the tinware. Thor
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1906-02-02

oughly rinse and dry them with a
towel, having a towel for each diff
ferent kind of dishes; rinse your
cooking utensils as we'll as your
China. Mrs. Partridge uses this
method: Takes two dish-pans, two
dish-cloths, a soap shaker and
dripping-pan, put hot water in one
pan and hot suds in the other, wash
glasses first and put in dripping-pan,
then wash silver and put in hot
water, then put cups, plates, etc,
suds and proceed to dry the glasses
and silver and the rest in success
sion. Be careful not to turn dishes
in pan, as this destroys the glazing;
a brush is often handy when wash
ing dishes.
How can a farmers widow best
support herself and children, either
on the farm or otherwise?" Mrs.
Greenwald was absent, but sent us
word that she would get her hus-
bands Nlife insured so he would be
worth more dead than alive. Mr..
Stewart says he has not had much
experience with widows, but thinks
they ought to save for rainy day,
and if they have not sufficient means
to live on, should marry a rich man.
a recitation by Leland Willough-
by was much enjoyed.
Some things you have learned
from experience about sugar beet
culture" Mr.. Greenwald says that
all we hear is not true; that too
much care cannot be given the soil.
Beets should have care at the prop
er time and they are a paying prop
osition. Mr.. Stewart says, do not
plant more than you can care for;
he thinks it the duty of every farmer
to plant a few to help the industry.
The ground should be made as level
as possible. and have proper drainage;
use plank float to level the field.
''How to lessen the weed crops"
, Mr.. Smith said be sure that no weeds
go to seed. Thorough cultivation
will discourage them. Be sure you
SOW no weed seed with your grain
Mr.. Carson told us that burdock
never goes to seed but once, and
that IL the plants are cut and burned
before the seeds drop, burdock is
killed.
els the pantry room an advant-
age to the ordinary farm house?'i
Mrs. Smith thinks it is a necessity.
Mrs. Stiles is determined to have
one but will not give up her cup
boards. Mrs. Warner does not like
pantry; 1t catches dirt. Mrs. Pat
ridge says it is a good place to tell
secrets and for tasting food, to see
If 1t is seasoned right 1t is also
handy place to have clean APP
ron to put on IL any one drives up
to the door. Mrs. Jos. Freeman be-
lieves pantry saves steps, as the
kitchen is too warm to keep food
