DISH OF MEXICAN ORIGIN.
"Chili Colorow" for Those Fond of
Highly Seasoned Viands.

A dish that cannot fail to delight the
palate of those who love highly seas
oned viands, and yet, strangely
enough, will not induce an increase of
the bodys internal heat, is recon-
mended by Harry Leighton, whose tai
ents as an amateur cook are quite on
a par with his ability as an actor This
is a Mexican concoction, called Chill
colorow," and those who care for such
dainties will find it a most delectable
mixture. To make it, Mr.. Leighton
takes a quart of boiled tomatoes and
one onion that has already been chop
ped fine. To these he adds three ia.
blespoonfuls of graduated sugar, one
tablespoonful of the prepared ground
Spanish pepper-a condiment that
may be purchased at any first-class
grocery store-and a little salt. The
mixture is then permitted to stew rath-
er slowly for some 20 or 30 minutes
when, if it seems too dry, little water
is added.-The Bohemian.

Regular Hours for Feedinq,

Many farmers do not realize the i'm
portance of feeding their stock at reg
ular hours. but it is of great impor-
lance. Take a lot of hogs which have
to wait after their regular time for
feed and see how restless they be-
come. And what is true of them Is
true in a great measure of other ami
mails. The man who is regular in his
habits, eating at a regular hour, will,
otner things being equal, thrive best
and be h%ealthiest and strongest; and
what is true of man in this regard is
correspondingly true of the lower ami
mails. A farmer can readily get into
the habit of feeding his stock regularly
and they will learn to expect it at a
regular time and rest patiently until
the next feeding period about.
Experiments in this direction would
soon satisfy the most doubling person
of the truth of the value of regularity
in fceding.-Epitomist.

EARNING IN
THE SOUTH
THE COTTON PICKING SEASON.
The Staple Should Be Gathered as
Rapidly as It Opens.

The world is standing in anxiety,
awaiting the outcome of the cotton
piching season In the South. II means
prosperity, not alone to the nation, but
to millions OF humanity who depend on
1t for employment and clothing. The
chances r now that the farmers will
receive greater benefit from the pres
ent crop than they have ever received
from any one crop before. In many
sections the yield will be fair, judging
by present prospects, and good prices
are practically assured.
However, there is a feature in the
cotton picking season that car be
made to add greatly to the farmers
revenue. 1t consists solely in gath
ering cotton as rapidly as it opens.
If this plan is followed the staple is
kept at its highest point and there
fore more valuable. There is nc loss
from drying out, storms, and various
other causes that work to the detri-
ment of the crop If left out in the
field after it has opened. The aver
H5C IL a saw ChOuSA ny plCh-
ing his crop promptly to pay for the
gathering ginning, bagging and ties.
1t is an easy matter to demonstrate
the value of such a method. Take a
plat of cotton alongside another that
is equally us good and pick it, leaving
the other In the field as usual, and
figure out the result. 1t will be
greatly In favor of the patch that is
picked.
But unere is more than mere ma
~teriality to the cotton picking season.
Men with mastery minds have knelt
at the shrine of the kingly plant and
wept tears, men with misery natures
have gloated over the turn of prices in
a single day. Women, who should
have been as gentle as the southern
breeze and a tender as the spring
time plant touched by the morning
dew, have become hardened in the
iron grip of its powers. And the grand
est homes ever reared have been made
desolate by the turn of the seasons
yield.
That is not half the story. In the
strenuous times of less than twenty
years ago thousands of farmers had
to struggle to earn a mere ~pittance
from the most fertile land that has
ever been peopled by a progressive
lot of folk. In the cities, thousands
of mill operatives turned the staple
into thread and cloth and so-called
hard times prevailed on every section
of the country.
But times have changed since then
and the farmers of the country have
it in their power to maintain present
conditions indefinitely. The market
ing of the crop can be carried on sys-
tematically to a great advantage.
Planting crops needed at home and
growing winter crops that will pro-
tect the farms will be found beneficial
in every instance.

A Definition of Success.

How have the hypothetical scien-
lists and the opponents of unbehef
benefited themselves or humanity at
large by sowing the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real SCI
entists do not fall in this category, for
they are believers in the real sense OF
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many mysterious mani
festations of the Divine creative pow
CT. Now, those who have disposed OF
the Bible and all evidences of inspira-
ton, have written a great many books
and some of them have won what the
world at large lightly calls fame. Ac-
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as the result of
their labors, their success is not eqaaI
to that achieved by the direst poverty
and the deepest ignorance. - Jeei

A Doctor Of Divinity, now Editor O.

written regarding the controversy be

very emphatic words left out.

Tiers has finally run against a solid

its own estimation to the tune OF

Here is a publication which has. in
utmost disregard Of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to

Thank Heaven it has at last struck
a man with back bone" enough to call
a spade a spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file in our Office and is only one of
a mass of letters and other data, news
paper comments, ETC., denouncing the
yellow" methods of Golfers. This
volume is so large that a man could
not well go thru it under half a days
steady work. The letters come IRON
various parts of America.

interesting to the public, but this is a
public controversy.

methods to attract attention to itself,
but, jumping in the air, cracking heels

BeIIinq a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast. but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. 1t did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore it
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the mex the sounds
brought scores Of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid of the
bell. they were charmed with the mu-
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had a dance every night.
