Where the family is fond of stock
soups there is probably no more eco
nomical meat that can be got for the
family larder than choice soup bones
or boiling pieces. The resourceful
housewife will not only be able to con-
trive savory and palatable dishes from
such cuts, but the ration she puts on
the table will be nutritious as we'll.
Lean meat that may be left over can
easily be worked into good hash with
a slight reinforcement to take the
place of the nutritive elements that
have been extracted in boiling.

1t is but human nature in the hired
man to kick if his work is so arranged
by his employer that he is at it from
in the morning until $50 p. m. day
siderate employer cannot always avoid
these long hours at busy seasons of the
year, he will see that they are the ex-
ceptiOn and not the rule.

If there is any one precaution that
the owner of dairy should take dur
ing the grazing season it is that he
should not scrimp his COWS on their
run or supply of pasture. In just the
same way as the growth of a steer
will vary from $50 to 300 pounds dur
ing a six months season, depending
upon whether the pasturage is album
dant or insufficient will the dairy COW
vary in her yield of milk. It takes
about so much feed to supply what is
called the maintenance ration. 1t is the
amount Of food above this which gives
a profitable return in flesh or butter
fat

In view of the fact that an early
ripening of the onion crop is of the ut
most Importance, so that the crop may
be properly cured before cola weather
comes on, the seed should be placed in
the ground as soon as the soil can be
worked. Both the seed and the young
plants are tough and are not hurt by a
freeze

What a fine thing it would be for a
change if men could be relieved of the
necessity Of scratching like mad to
get the wherewithaI to buy grub with
if women could be relieved of the
drudgery of getting said grub ready
to put on the table and washing dishes,
kettles and pans after it was devoured!
Really this would give US little time
to get acquainted with our families and
our neighbors and live a trife.

This is the time of the year when the
gullible reading public, and especially
those who peruse agricultural maya
zines, want to beware the gas bag seed
man, who is already in print with his
stories Of yields of LOO bushels Of po-
tatoes, 1000 bushels of onions, $50
bushels of corn and 100 bushels of oats
to the acre. Might as we'll put him in
the Ananias class at once and lake it
for granted that if he is lying about
the quantity or yield which his seeds
will produce he is also stretching the
truth when it comes to quality and
purity. Buy, rather, of some house
which keeps within forty rows of apple
trees Of the truth.

The fellow who this year buys seed
of the cob from distant firms NAV be
said to be monkeying with a sort of
shell game, which is likely to prove a
more hazardous speculation than that
which guliible suckers sometimes buck
up against at the county faE.

An advantage which is sometimes
overlooked in the sowing of early oats
is that in case clover is sown there
with the grain can be cut a week or
ten days earlier, which will give the
clover plants just that much time to
thicken up and get well rooted before
the hot and usually dry weather of
the summer comes on.

that is far more satisfying and com
forting than a large bank account and
broad acres is the esteem, respect and

grown up in the home This state OF

that it does not come about by chance
but is the outgroWth and result of
painstaking care and consideration.

Among the real delicacies that have
been enjoyed on the writer's table this
winter are home preserved string beans
that possess q freshness and fneness
of flavor that are but slightly inferior TO
those gathered fresh from the garden
in July Or August. The beans in ques-
ton were picked, washed and cut as
for immediate consumption and cooked
until nearly done, when they were
packed in salt at the rate Of four parts
beans to one of salt. Not only is the
texture of the beans put up in this
way crisp and firm, but the fine fla
vor is remarkably well preserved.
Sweet corn put up in the same way is
as fine as could well be.

Give the small boy Of the home q
garden patch this spring which he can
call his own, planting the seeds, caring
for the growing things and receiving
the return which he can make from
selling the products of it. Perhaps it
is the girl and not the boy, in which
case she might be given the same
chance with a patch in the vegetable
garden or a flower bed which she can
care for as her own. The feeling of
pride that comes to the child with the
supervision or ownership of a thing is
a most wholesome sentiment, giving
it an interest in the work at hand
which it would not have under any
other circumstances, and should be en-.
couraged whenever possible.

TREATING POST TIMER.

The gradual advance in the price of
post timber is resulting in an increased
interest In methods Of treating posts
which will increase their length OF
service. Some experiments have re-
Gently been conducted along this line
at the Iowa experiment station with
the use OF creosote as n preservative.
In considerable quantities creosote,
which is a distillate of either wood or
coal tar. may be purchased at IS cents
per gallon, which, counting S.92 pounds
to the gallon, makes the cost OF the
preservative about 2 cents per pound
In the experiments above referred TO II
was found that white cedar posts alb
sorbed in the process 40 pounds. soft
maple 5.S pounds, cottonwood 80
pounds and green ash 1.G pounds. This
made the cost OF treating the four diff
ferent kinds OF posts respectively o,
11.6, ca and 30 cents each. The esti-
mated length OF service Of the untreat-
ed white cedar was twelve years. Of
the treated twenty-five years. Of the
untreated soft maple three years and
OF the treated fifteen years. On the
above basis It IS seen that in the case
OF the untreated aud treated white &C.
dar posts the annual cost was respec-
lively 1.72 cents and IL cents each.
while In the case OF the soft maple Il
was cents and As cents respectively
for treated and untreated posts The
margin OF saving resulting from treat
ing posts In the above manner would
not be large foI one post. but would be

Following a protracted dry spell
which has been characterized quite
generally the country over with nu-
merous forest fires and parched pas
lures. there will be a tendency to stun
the young pigs with n heavy ration OF
green and immature field corn Better
let them go hungry and say thin than
make this mistake. Immature corn
may be fed, but in limited quantities,
and the ration should not be increased
until the food Is dry and hard. A pigs
digestive apparatus IS just as likely to
be upset as IS that Of the human being
who jumps OF a sudden from a diet or
pork, potatoes, soda biscuits and dried
apples TO all the green cucumbers md
sweet corn he can stuff In the latter
instance there Is quite likely % be v'o-
lent disturbance. It's just 30 with The
pig. only that he doesn't have sense
enough TO quit eating the stun that has
upset his stomach. In which case his
owner should have sense enough TO
quit placing the corn within bis reach
Feed the pigs spariDgiy Of the new
corn. II win mean . saving OF dollars
IN the end.
