New England Indian Pudding.

Boil a quart of milk and turn 1t over
pint of sifted Indian meal. Stir it
in we'll so as to scald the meal; then
mix three tablespoonfuls of wheat
flour with a pint of cold milk, stirring
it gradually into the flour so as to
have it free from Jumps. Turn it
onto the Indian meal and mix the
whole we'll together. When the whole
is just lukewarm beat three eggs
with three tablespoonfuls sugar, and
stir into the pudding, with two tea
spoonfuls salt, two of cinnamon, or
half nutmeg, grated, and two table
spoonfuls butter, or suet, chopped
fine Add, if you wish the pudding
very rich, a cupful seeded raisins,
but they should not be put in until
the pudding has baked five or six
minutes. If raisins are put in, an
additional cupful of milk will be re-
Quired, as they absorb great deal
of moisture.
A very good Indian pudding may
be made without eggs, if cup more
meal is used and no -four. 1t takes
three hours to bake an Indian pud-
ding without eggs; with eggs it takes
less time.

TALKS WITH READERS

The readers of The Ranch have re-
sponded SO royalty to the advertising
which has been done for the Cald-
we'll Bros. Co., of Seattle, that l feel
as though l owe them a little tender
of thanks and want to give it to them
right now.
These people are one of the best
concerns that patronize the advertis-
ing columns of The Ranch, and the
fact that they are advertisers in The
Ranch carries with it the endorsement
of this paper. Now, if you will put
on top of the papers endorsement the
endorsement of the Caldwell Bros.
Co., as to all of the machinery they
offer for sale, and that means first
class, each reader ought to feel pretty
we'll assured of getting his moneys
worth. The portable saw mill adver-
Using has met with better results than
has that of the drag saw and power

talk about it.
I am one of the people in this city
who has to pay $500 to $500 per cord
for wood that is not nearly so good
as l used to pay $500 cord for in
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
That, however, is not the fault OF

POTATOES WITH MINT.

Quite the most delicious way of
cooking new potatoes is to place them
in boiling water with two or three
sprigs of fresh mint. When the pota-
toes have been cooked and drained, a
little melted butter should be poured
over them. The mint adds a most
delicate but not at all an obtrusive
flavor. Instead of trying to peel new
potatoes, the English cook removes the
skins by rubbing them very hard with
an extremely stiff brush. This leaves
them both white and smooth, and OBJ
viates the necessity of peeling them
after cooking.-The May Delineator.

AGRICULTURAL Hints,

If you wish to raise a good crop of
bachelors buttons it will be necessary
to see that there are no widows weeds
in the vicinity.
A good hay rake has about fifteen

Do not drain off your swamp land.

ship the hops to Milwaukee. Here we
may say that the hop is somewhat

Advantaaes of Madness

The truth Is. fear. that tnadNes.
 Aas great advantage oyts sanity
 3anity Is always careless. Malg,es, |. always careful. There Is great deal of falsehood In ths notion that trutl must necessarily prevail There Is this falsehood to start with that If man has got the truth he Is generally happy
 And if he Is happy he Is generally iazy. The fncessant activity, the exag gerated intelligence. generally belong to those who are little wrong and just little right. The whole advan tage of those who think that Bacon wrote Shakespeare. says Gilbert J. Chesterton. writing in the Illustrated London News. lies simply in the fact that they care whether Bacon wrote The whole disadvantage of those who do not think 1t lies in the fact that they do not care about it. The sane man who is sane enough to see that Shakespeare wrote Shake speare Is the man who is sane enough no< to worry whether lie did or not.

Ehs Crafty Brother.

A man had two sons. The elder was vtrtuous and dutiful, the younger wick. ed and crafty. When the father was about to die, he called them before him and said: Il have only two things of yalue-my herd of camels and my blessing. How shall I allot them?''
 "Glye to me-" said the younger son 'thy blessing, for 1t may reform me The camels should be sure to sell ant squander the money"
 The elder, disgusting his joy, said that he would try to be content with the camels and pious mind. It was 70 arranged, and the man died. Then the wicked younger son went before the cadl and said: Behold, my brother has defrauded me of my lawful her itage. He Is so bad that our father, a. Is we'll known, denied him his blessing. Is 1t likely that he gave him the cam els?''
 So the cider brother was compelled to give up the herd and was soundly bastfnadoed for his rapacity.

Plantation for Rent

We desire to make d five year con tract on place as desirable from every standpoint as the best farm !a the Little Rock district cotton lands.
 There are 1900 acres in the tract, 900 of which are in high state of cultivation. The place is thoroughly ditched and Is clean all over. It is above the highest overflow, without ieyee. Soil is mostly rich, sandy loam varied occasionally by a mix ture Of sandy and stiff soil.
 Gin, press and engine comparative ly new. There is an attractive cot tage for lessee. The tenants houses are probably the best in the district.
 There is a railroad station on the place, and it is also reached by about 10 miles of pike out of Little Rock.
 The place is we'll stocked with live stock and implements. which must be purchased by the lessee. Likewise the lease must be made by financial ly responsible person, or must carry strong endorsement.
 Any one with money. Who does not own his own place, will, We believe, find this a great opportunity.

A Mothers Revenge.

Powder Springs, Ga, Sept. To-
Leading a hastily formed posse Of bel
neighbors, Mrs. Sarah Reed, overlook
Robert Bostick, a negro who had ct
tackled her nine-year-old daughter and
fred both barrels of a shot gun into
him. Bostick is fatally wounded. Other;
10 the posse would have killed the me-
gro after Mrs. Reed shot him, but she
ordered them not to do so, as she wanted
tie svengiDg of the crime all to herself.
The wounded man was left where be
fell and was later taken to the home of
negro friends. Bostick worked at the
Reed home. He enticed the little
girl into the barn and attacked her.
When the mother heard the child's
story she aroused the neighbOrhood aud
a large mob started in pursuit. Bostick
was overtaken alter a chase of several

Peace Conference,

The Hague, Sept. 16.-Upon the
request Of the German and Italian govern
ments, it was learned today, Holland has
invited all the countries that participated
in the second Hague conference to attend
another peace conference to draft uni
versal treaty and to Exchange reguls-
tious." 1.-THE date for the coming conference
was not set forth definitely but 1t is be-
lieved 1t will be held next year. The
significance OF the call lies 10 the fact
that ii was prompted by Germany and
Italy. Germany's initiative in the mat
ter is q topic of wide discussion. The
action OF England, France and Russia
in entering into closer agreements of
late and the trend of European politics
toward to isolation of Germany, are
believed to have led Germany to this
step. Germany's action indicates that
the ksiser's apparent indifference to the
attitude of other nstions was only feigned
and that he is really deeply concerned
over the course recent events have taken.
There is little doubt that al the nations
will send representatives, to The Hague.

began 10 look pleasant and intiusted
that he waDted sll bis relatives TO do

Queen Margherits. The king was not

FIRST, because be thought it would only
beia question of a Ii tie time and few
thousand words Of argument to win her
over. The discovery Of the fact that the
queen will not only oppose the marriage

ICOMMU NICATED.

You can hear people stsnding srOund
the corner arguing as to why the city
hes t, employ Italians to do It's work,
aud if one listened t. the wall of these
fellows he would think that the officials
would rather give work to foreigners
than to city men. The truth Of the
matter is that when the city employs a
man it expects days work fer q days
pay. 1t is presumed by some people
who have worked on the streets that all
that gss essential to the position was to
secure enough influence 10 secure the
job. The time has arrived that the city
cannot afford 10 pension people y en-
'plOying them on the streets, just TO get
their names on the city pay roll. The
street committee wsnts value received
for the money they spend and when there
"kcktrs" decide to 90 days work for
a days pay the city officials can and
will employ them.

THE sentiment OF the Connecticut
bankers as expressed in the reply o.
nearly one hundred prominent bankers
to INQUIRIES of the Hartford Times shows
strong opposition to the proposed demo-
crate plan OF establishing a government
guarantee fer bank deposit. Ihey
claim that the scheme is traught Wild
danger to the banking system and inst
it ia an unfair measure. They express
the fer that the chief result Of such a
guarantee would be thGstimulstion OF
reckless and csreless banking and would
lover the standards Of Integrity and ei-
ficiency which now eXistin the manage
msnt of banking hOusts. This to many
seems a strange conclusion to reach as
the object of the bill is to secure conn.,
dence to bank depositors.
