USING SORGHUM
IN GOOD A
Can be Utilized in Various Ways tc
Advantage by Feeding to Animals,
But is Dangerous for Cows.

For green food, to cut and in the
green state without curing, there is
nothing better, perhaps, than the sor-
ghum. Planted or sowed in May in
drills, on rich ground or with a good
fertilizer, and if given only n or
two plowings, it comes early and is
ready to begin to cut if only half
grown, or just before the seed heads
appear. After the first stalks are cut,
it puts out more stalks, and yields a
second, and perhaps a third, cutting
during the season. The yieldper acre
is large, and it makes a capital feed
for all stock, work team, hogs and
sheep.
After the seed heads are mature, or
nearly so, it yields.a good quantity of
grain, as we'll as forage, which all
animals readily eat. The seed are
fine for poultry and the sweet and
juicy contents of the stem, despite the
rather hard outside coating, r greed
lily devoured, or rather chewed up
fine, by the stock. The woody fibre
is not swallowed, except in small
part, but is rejected after the sweet
juice has been extracted. Hogs are
especially fond of it, and the bogasse,
or woody fibre, left by the animals
constitutes a nice and soft bedding
for stables.
Any farmer, whether he is short. of
forage or not, would do well to plant
if no more than half an acr of sor-
ghum, to run along with the dry feed
after midsummer. Should dry weather
come on, and the pastures become
brown and short, a small ration even
once a day of the sorghum will help
the mich cows wonderfully. Hogs
may be kept thrifty on it alone until
the field peas come in. A patch of it
near a poultry yard will keep the
hens laying all summer after the
seeds appear. The heads, cut and
cured, are fine winter forage for ami
mails. The blades may be stripped
from the stalks, and cured as blade
fodder. The whole plant is valuable.
Even the stubble, plowed up and
thrown in washes and gullies, helps to
catch the soil and fill up the washes.
AS they soon decay and add vegeta-
BILE matter, they'll help to- keep the
soil level and fertile. It is a valuable
crop and should be largely grown

HOT
How to Keep the Kitchen Cool and
Comfortable in Midsummer.

Many a housewife is wonderinghow
she will pass through the coming sum-
mer months with the stove she knows
will make the kitchen unbearably hot
to say nothing of the dirt, dust and
ashes that will add to the discomfort.
There is a way out of it ala way
that not only lessons the work and
keeps the kitchen cool, but that also
reduces fuel expense. This conven-
fence, comfort and economy is. all
effected by the New Perfection Wick
Blue. Flame Oil Cook-Stove, an oil
stove so superior to other makes that
it is fast replacing the coal and wood
range, the old fashioned oil stove, and
in many cases the gas stove.
Anyone who has had to wait ten or
fifteen minutes for the fire to get
started will appreciate the New Per-
lection, which gives a strong working
flame at moment of lighting. "Blue
Flame" means the hottest and clean
est flame produced by any stove. The
fame is always under immediate con-
troll and can be raised or lowered in
stantly. The convenience of this will
be understood when it is considered
that while the fame of one burner is
boiling the kettle or roasting a large
joint, that of another can be reduced
to simmering point-in this way enab-
ling the housewife to cook a variety
of dishes at one time.
Then the comfort of it. While the
fame of the New Perfection is in
tensely hot, yet the heats notthrown
off into the kitchen because it is con
secrated by blue enameled chimneys.
On washing and ironing days the
comfort and convenience of the New
Perfection will be greatly appreciated.
It gives best results in the least time,
and does away with all coal and wood
carrying and the many other dis
agreeable jobs that have to be done
with other stoves. The New Perfec-
ton is made in three sizes, with one,
two and three burners, and is warrant
ed to give full satisfaction.
Another home comfort is the Rayo
Lamp, which produces light Of un-
usual brightness, yet soft and mellow
"a light that Will not hurt the eyes.
The Rayo Lamp can be used in any
room, whether it. be library, dining
room, parlor or bedroom. It is highly
ornamental, being made Of brass
throughout and beautifully nickeled.
Every lamp is warranted and makes
a valuable and handsome addition to
any home.
The New Perfection Wick Blue
Flame Oil Cook Stove and the Rayo
Lamp are two real essentials to home
comfort. Their easy operation, alb
solute safety and handsome appear
ance commend them wherever stoves
and lamps are used

MERINGUEs.

Choose a pastry board which will go
easily into your oven. Brush the board
over with salad oil; cover it with
piece of paper and oil that also. Whip
the whites of three eggs to stir
froth Stir lightly into them nine
ounces of castor sugar. Have ready
two dessert spoons of exactly the same
shape. shape some of the mixture in
one, then scoop it out with the other
one. AS you do so, lay them on the
board at a fair distance apart. Dredge
them over with castor sugar. Put the
board in a slow oven till the mer-
ingues are dry and crisp. They viii
take three hours. Turn them careful
w and scoop out the soft part from
each: dust the inside with sugar and
nut them back into the oven. They
should be of the faintest biscuit color.
Just before serving them whip some
cream stiffly. Flavor it with vanilla
and castor sugar. Fill in the space
IN the meringues with it. Press two

cram decorate each meringue in any
pretty design.

are totally new to the duties of gov
eminent. But in retort the woman
suffragists point out that, in the first
place. the single chamber Diet is Who'll
ly new to Finland-that formerly Fin
land had several chambers, one for
the birth-privileged aristocracy, one
for the clergymen and school teachers
and only one for the common people.
Then, again, the women and their
friends point out that only one-fourth
of the new Diet had sat in legislative
council before. So the women argue
that they ought to do as well as the
men, and they base their contentious
on the fact that they are quite as in
telligent.
Everybody in Finland, including the
women themselves, agrees that equal
suffrage from A to z is an experiment,
and therefore, that mistakes are pos
sible. But the women are confident Of
making good records, and, on the
whole, Finland is quiet and unaf-
frighted.
Up to date the women have not
changed the party balance of the
country. That" say the "antis" of
Finland, .'is something to be thankful

add to the lemons and sugar and stir
of over the fire until the mixture just
thickens. When cool whip the whites
of the eggs to a stiff froth, stir in
very lightly, then turn from the pan
into glass dish. This dessert should
be made shortly before using, as the
whites Of the eggs will fall If left too
long.

EGG SALAD.

While this is a little too hearty for
a dinner salad, 1t is just the thing for
the Sunday night supper. Boil the
eggs hard. remove the shells, cut in
halves crosswise or lengthwise, and
take out the yoIks. Mash the yolks'
using a silver fork; then season with
minced ci1ow-chow with little OF

little melted butter, salt and pepper,
and if desired minced olives. Return
to the whites of eggs, arrange on a
bed of lettuce or cress, dress with
French dressing or mayonnaise. II no
olives have been used in filling OF the
eggs. few olives or pimolas scatter"

ton.
