Short Suggestions.

Pumpkins are much better when
steamed than when boiled.
Dish towels should be washed and
hung In the sun to dry after each US
ing.
Do not pile leftover cooked potatoes
together, as they will sour quickly.
Spread them out on large dish.
Keep the cook book directly over the
cooking table on a slanting shelf, where
1t will remain open to be easily read
and stay clean.
To improve the flavor Of after-dinner
coffee rub the lunrs Of sugar with a
piece OF lemon peel. For tea the sugar
should be rubbed with orange peel.
An admirable plan for cleansing a
cofee pot and the surest method Of
keeping it without stain or odor, is to
wash it occasionally with strong hot
boray water.
Eggs used for covering croquettes
may be the whole egg or the whites
onlv-never use the yolks alone. Beat
the eggs until broken, not until light !;
add one tablespoonful Of water for each
white or two tablespoonfuls for whole
egg. Nix well and use.

Take about two pounds of fresh, lean
beef, cut it in pieces about two inches
square. Roll each piece in flour; fry
in butter or lard one medium-sized
onion, sliced. Cook for five minutes,
remove onion, place meat in fat and
brown carefully. Replace onion with
meat, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Pour over whole one-half can tomatoes
(strained). Cover meat with water
and simmer slowly three hours, adding
more water as it cooks away. To

Cowpens for Hogs.

Those living where they can success
fully grow the cowpea should utilize
this valuable crop as a cheap ration
,or pigs The pea is rich in protein and
furnishes the needed growth, and does
away with the necessity of millStuff.
Drill three or four peclls of seed per
acre the latter part of May or the first
part of June. and give the needed Guilt
vation till the vines cover the ground
enough to check weed growth. Turn
the pigs into the field when the pods
begin to ripen, and they will do the
harvesting. If the old hogs are pas
tured on peas, they need corn or some
other carbonaceous feed to give proper
balance, for they cannot utilize so much
protein as pigs. Try a patch Of cow
pea pasture this year. and get your
hogs in fine shape for the corn when

FEATHERS IN GOLF BALLS.
Football Was Used in Same Manner by
London People.

Golf balls are now being stuffed with
gelatin. In the tearly days of the game
the golf ball was stuffed with feathers.
This was also the ball used in playing
'shinty," which is defined by an eigh-
teenth century commentator as IAN in
ferior species of golf, generally played
by young people, and called in London
hockey" The football used about the

New Meat Law Working Well.

In addressing the convention of the
New York State Breeders Association
upon the new meat inspection law and
its bearing upon the production and
handling Of meats, George P. McCabe,
solicitor Of the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, said the law ap-
peared to be working we'll and was
serving as a guarantee Of the health
fulness, purity and wholesomeness OF
our live stock and meats in the mar
kets of the world. He declared that,
to secure the best results, breeders of
every state should take up vigorously
the question Of the extension of mar
kets and should back the department
of agriculture in an insistent demand
for an absolute efficient, yigilant, fair
and square meat inspection.

Egg Pointers.

A stale egg will sink in water.
Stale eggs are CLASSY and smooth OF
shell.
A fresh egg has limelike surface tc
its shell.
The boiled eggs which adhere to the
shell are fresh laid.
Eggs packed in bran for a long time
smell and taste musty.
Thin shells are caused by lack OF
gravel and lime among the hens laying
eggs.
After an egg has been laid day
or more the shell comes off easily wher
boiled.
A boiled egg which is done will dry
quickly on the shell when taken from
the kettle.
Eggs which have been packed il
lime look stained and show the action
of the lime on the surface.
If an egg is clean and golden in ap
pearance when held to the light it is
good; if dark or spotted, it is bad.

why Young Trces Are Best.

These are the advantages of planting
young trees: They can be trained to
the desired form better than older
trees, says Farming. or 3-year-old
tree is branched and has had it's head
already formed by the nurseryman; a
yearling tree Of the apple, pear and
sweet cherry, is usually unbranched.
sometimes the nurseryman has headed
the tree too high or has not been care
fui enough about starting out the scat
fold limbs, and it is difficult to cor
rect the form of the head after it has
been started. There is an unmistak-
able preference for low-headed trees,
due chiefly to the need of economy and
efficiency in spraying and harvesting.
The single disadvantage of low-head-
ing is greater inconvenience in tillage.
This is much more than offset by the
advantages, in the judgment Of most
growers. Within ten years the height
recommended for heading apple trees
in the East has been reduced at least
two feet. The bearing Of this on the
matter of yearling trees is that the
grower can head yearling tree where
he pleases.

STONE FORECASTS WEATHER.

Scientists

There exists a stone which, it is said,
unfailingly foretells changes in the
weather. This stone was found in Fin
land many years ago by an explorer and
has since been watched by scientists with
great interest. 1t presents white, mot
tied appearance in sunshine, gradually
turning from gray to black as rain
of clay, inter and rock salt. In dry
weather the salt in the stone is promi-
nent, but when the air is filled with
moisture the salt absorbs the moisture
and turns black, thus forming the
barometer.
