Waste i'm Preparinr Vegetables.

In preparing vegetables for the table
there is almost always a larger or
smaller loss due to inedible matter
skins, roots, seeds, etc, and also a
waste of good material. witch is caus-
ed by careless pairing. etc, all these
losses being grouped together in re-
porting analyses under the name "ref-
use" The amount of refuse varies
greatly in different vegetables. as
shown by large number of analyses
of American food materials The
amount may be small in such vegeta-
Mes as string beans, medium in such
vegetables as onions. cabbage. leeks,
lettuce. cucumbers. or high in such
vegetables as beans, pod pumpkins and
squash. With tubers, such as potatoes,
the average amount of refuse is 90 per
cent, and with such roots as turnips
30 per cent.
In preparing vegetables for the table
the careful cook Will remove all in
edible portions and will see to it that
the total amount of refuse is as small
as is consistent with good quality. Thin
pairing of potatoes and other vegetables
Is an economy which ii is worth while
to practice, and is an easy way of
decreasing useless loss.-Maria Parloa.

Potato bugs are like interest on q

When the broods first begin to hatch ii
Is the time to act The only remedy
practical and effective known at pres
ent Is paris green. This is mixed with
water and scattered on the plants. The
spraying apparatus is too well known
to be described here.
To each barrel of water use seven
pounds of cheap -four and one pound
of paris green. Mix the poison and
flour in a bucket containing about two
gallons of water and stir until thor
oughly mixed.
When the whole mixture is thor
oughly mixed pour into the barrel of
water on the spraying machine and
keep the contents of the barrel well
stirred while the sprayer is in motion
The only serious objection TO this
mixture is that it tends TO clog the
screens in the pump. This can be
avoided by having the screens so they
can be taken out and reinserted
quickly.
The screens can thus be taken out
and cleaned in a short time and the
spraying go ON without further inter-
ruption. Tie operation may seem trou-
biesome at first. but one spraying kills
all the bugs and it doesn't matter if 4
rains within two hours after it is ap-
piled.
Dew and rain will not wash it off
and traces of it will remain for two
weeks and continue to destroy all new
hotchings of insects
The -four forms paste that catches
all the particles of paris green and ia
turn adheres to the plant leaves. In
II field sprayed thoroughly in this way
second operation is not necessary.
The pump may be put away and the
grower rest assured that he is through
for the season.
The sprayer should not be driven too
fast, but each plant be allowed TO get
its full share of the poison. One bar
rel of this mixture should be enough

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number of peo-
PIE who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed OF
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class of foods are net digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of far is mainly, if not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton of acid. A hyperacidity of tho
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not d.
gesicd or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperac:dity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pam
creatic digestion of the oils, and r'e
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. BY
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stoma III, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eata
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
anG the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

Result. from Cowpeas I'm Corn.

Tests at this station showed that the
value of two successive crops of corn
without cowpeas sown in them was
sd per acre, while the value of two
successive crops Of corn plus the value
of a crop of cowpeas sown in the first
crop was $33.54 per acre. In the above
tests corn and peas were valued at 30
cents per bushel and cowpea hay at
SO per ton, which was the approx
mate local market value of these prod
ucts.
A severe drought lowered the average
yield of corn 10 about one-third of a
full crop. The yield of cowpeas, how
ever, was the highest recorded at Fay
etteville, and the cowpea hay yield was
above the average for the past five
years. Notwithstanding the unusual
deficiency of moisture the presence of
the growing cowpeas did not lower the
yield of corn.-C. l.. Newman, Arkansas

Passing of the Cattle Ranchmen.

Passing of the Cattle Ranchmen.
Eastern New Mexico is settling up at
the rate of 100 persons day, and this
is typical of the entire Southwest, in
Guiding the Texas Panhandle and the
central western part of the State. But
while the farmers s-e coming in with
their families and their capital, to de
veIop the plains country along new
lines, the old-time ranchman is gradu-
ally being showed off the earth. He is
getting rich by selling his lands, per-
haps, but he is losing the romance of
the old life. The cattlemen who have
simply used the public domain free of
charge are not taking much away with
them. They go into the towns and seek
public Office, or become mining promot-
ers or railroad cOnversationalists. And
the price of beef steadily rises. In
1903, 10000 Texas range cattle were
sold on the Chicago market; last year
less than half as many. Possibly five
years more will see the last of the
range stock.-El PasO Herald.
