AT The FIRST MEAL
SOME GOOD BREAKFAST TABLE
SUGGESTIONS.
Coffee Tastee Better If Made at the
Moment Required Hot Water
Dishes to Keep the Food in
Condition.

Here are some suggestions for the
breakfast table that may be Of use:
Coffee will be much better if 1t is
made right on the table. There is a
Viennese coffee pot which comes in
copper or nickel This 10 furnished
with it's own alcohol lamp, which boils
the water as it percolatea through the
coffee.
The coffee can be made any desired
strength. If the machine Is started
with boiling water coffee can he made
In from ten to Is minutes.
Tea should also be made on the
table; you can then be cure that the
water is freshly boiled and that the
tea does not stand after being made.
There are some china teapots that
have a sievclike pocket in the top TO
hold the tea leaves. The boiling water
Is poured through them as many times
as is necessary. The tea when made
remains the same strength, as the
leaves do not steep In 1t.
Food should be served in hot water
dishes. These come in all sizes and
at all prices.
The handsome Sheffield pieces have
covered dish ON a stand, hot water
dish underneath it and an alcohol
lamp that fits into the stand 10 heep
the water hot.
These, of course, win hast hfe-
time and are expensive, but there are
plenty of others that will answer as
well and that are quite reasonable.
Food will keep hot in these covered
dishes for surprising length Of time
and does not dry up, as it does when
put in the oven or over the stove II
you want to have a comfortable hot
breakfast have several Of these dishes
in use.
China eggcups come with hollow
bases, in which hot water is poured
A soft-boiled egg, when hot, rs appe'
ti2ing, but it never Is by the time 1t
is prepared in the ordinary eggeup.
II you like your dry toast crisp, 1t
should always be served in toast
rack Putting 1t on plate and Gov
ering It up makes steam that spolls
III.
The Juice of an orange squeezed into
a small glass cup makes very good
fruit course. Many hurried man Will
drink his orange juice to his pleasure
and profit who would not stop to have
an orange that he had to prepare him
self
After all, it pays to give the family
| good start in the morning and
good hot breakfast is a great help.

INSTITUTES TO BE CONDUCTED
IN MISSOURI TOWNS.
VIII BE Held In Connection with State
Normals--Two Weeks to Be Dc.
voted to Discussions with State
Aiding to Fullest Extent.

Columbia, Mo.-Missouri university
Is trying to bring instruction in agri-
culture direct to the farmers of the
state. With this end in view, the agri-
cultural college has sent its profess
sors on lecture tours over the state,
visiting the various organizations Of
farmers and delivering lectures. The
college this year is working in con-
junction with the state board of
agricultural, the Offices of which are
in the agricultural guiding on the
campus here. With this end In view,
that OF greater benefits to the present
farmers. s. M. Jordan, Of Stanberry,
has been selected and made the di-
rector OF farmers institutes.
The plan heretofore has been to
hold days or two days session in
nome town or schoolhouse, and then
do nothing to follow up after the peo-
Pile became we'll aroused and en-
thusiastic.
This year arrangements will be
made to hold two weeks institute
in conjunction with the various state
normals. The arrangements have not
been definitely concluded at all, but
at the new normal at Maryville the
plans are practically perfected.
The normal towns were selected in
order to insure an audience even II
the farmers fail to show the interest
expected. The students preparing in
the various normals to teach will be
called upon to give instruction In
scientific agriculture more and more
as the study OF 1t spreads through the
public schools Of the state, The lee.
ture will be given in the courthouse
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-11-21
TO TEACH FARMERS.

or in the school buildings as may be
thought most practicable in attracting
the men interested in filling the soil
and the raising of stock.
Five Of the leading professors, all
heads of departments in the Missouri
school of agriculture, will give the
lectures at Maryville, which is a type
of what others will be. The course
there will begin on December 8. One
man will leave Columbia for that
place and give three lectures a day
for two or three days. Then he will
be superseded by another one, who
will lecture on a different field OF
work. This will continue until the
close of the two weeks, when So or 4C
lectures will have been given.
Mr. Jordan, the director of the
work, is an authority on seed corn and
will discuss corn breeding. He will
show how corn may be so cared for
and cultivated and crossed as TO pro
duce a grain OF very fire quality as
well as quantity.

Homemade Shoe Trees.

In making shoe trees from old stock
ings filled with bran, as is the habit OF
the economical, there should be enough
of the leg of the stocking left to allow
the bran to be pushed up as the form
is being put in. Otherwise, espe-
cially If the shoe is at all damp, It
will be almost impossible 10 manipu-
late 1t.
Keep q tape fastened to the seam Of
the stocking so 1t can be tied or united
at a moments notice. When putting
the form into the shoe unite this tape,
registering it after pushing the bran
down TO hold out the shoe.
There is but one objection to this
kind Of shoe tree; mice like 1t as well
as you do, and care should be taken
to keep the shoes out OF their way

HUGE LOSS BY BIRD DECREASE
Audubon Society Chief Says Sum
Would Total Big Amount.

New York-Because of the decrease
in birds, the United States is losing
yearly without protest a sum larger
than the capitalization of all the ma
tional banks in the country, was the
statement made by President William
butcher, of the National Association
OF Audubon Societies, at the annual
meeting of the association here. The
public, declared Mr.. butcher, placid
ly allows agricultural crops valued at
$500 100000 to be annually destroyed
by insects, which destruction is en-
tirely due to the rapid decrease in the
number of insectivorous birds in the
country.
"If million or more dollars are
lost through the management OF a
bank or other fiduciary institution
he said, ut creates a wave Of protest
throughout the entire country, yet a
yearly loss equal I he entire capital.
ization of the national banks of the
country creates no comment what
ever, simply because the public do
not realize what Is going on"
Mr.. butcher said that the associa-
ton was in position to do good work
along the line OF protection TO birds,
but in order to successfully carry on
its work il should have a larger en-
dowment fund and far larger mem
bership.

DOG GNAWs DOWN sAPLlNe.
With Leg Imprisoned and in Great
Pain Drass Himself Home.

Marquette, Mich.-Caught by the
leg in Il trap set for wolves, q valu-
able bird dog belonging to Deputy
Sheriff Richard Harcourt of Seney,
east of Marquette, effected its release
through a rare display Of canine intel.
ligence. The trap was fastened by a
chain to sapling. To gnaw this
down was the CANNES only salvation,
and presumably after mature contem-
platon Of its dangerous situation the
dog undertook the task.
Evidently It was the work of many
hours, but the animal persevered un.
til 1t had accomplished the undertake
ing, Then. despite the loss Of much
blood, and Notwithstanding the pain
1t must have been suffering, the dog
made its weary way home, dragging
the trap along. The manner in which
the dog had secured its freedom was
plainly apparent from the evidence
visible at the spot where the trap had
been set.
