The easiest way to cook a
pumpkin: After washing the
outside, set in pan in the oven
and bake it for an hour or more,
according to its size. When done,
cut a hole in the stem end and re-
move the seeds. The rind will
peel off easily. 1t is richer and
the flavor is better than that of a
stewed pumpkin.

New AGRICULTURAL Empire.

|
The government wants to know
why intelligent well-to-do farmers
from the Mississippi Valley con-
tinue to flock to the Canadian
wilderness to take up homes
under a foreign flag while invit-
ing and attractive opportunities
for settlers are still open on many
of the reclamation projects in the
West. While there has been a
decided falling off in the move
ment from this country into the
Northwest Territories, the num-
Der of our desirable citizens who
are leaving the United States to
take up farms in Canada is large
and efforts should be made to d.
vert them to the several sections
of our own country where just as
good, if not better, opportunities
exist for the homeseeker.
The national government is a
big land owner but it does not
advertise while Canada expends
large sums annually for this pur-
pose. Steps should be taken at
this time to acquaint the home
seekers of this country with the
fact that within our own borders
there yet remain many desirable
locotions for home-builders.
Our great western region in
soil, climate and crop possibilities
is superior to the region farther
north. 1t possesses better trans
portation facilities and markets,
it is under our own flag and is
occupied by our own people. Its
development adds to our national
greatness and strength. Poten-
TALLY it is the richest and most
fertile agricultural area in the
world and it is destined to become
the center of a vast population
which shall represent the high.
est ideals of American citizenship.
No effort should be spared to ex-
plot its advantages and its oppor-
tunities.
Just at the present time the con-
struction of three national irriga-
ton projects has progressed to
the point where settlement is in
vited and a large number of far
mers from the middle West have
already taken up new homes
thereon. The letters received
from them by the statistician of
the Reclamation Service at Wash
ington indicate their satisfaction
in the change they have made
and their abiding faith in the
wisdom of their choice in location.
Two of these projects are in Mon
tana and one is in northern Wyo-
ming. Nearly 100000 acres di-
vided in 40 and 80 acre farms are
now ready for homeseekers.
These are open to settlement
under the homestead act, subject
to the provisions of the Reclama-
tion law. The soil and climate
are such that with the assured
water supply which the Govern
ment guarantees, maximum har-
vests are insured. Intelligent
farming on these projects is re-
warded by larger returns than in
humid regions and the crop pro-
ducts are as diversified as can be
grown in the middle west.
On the Huntley project in Mon
tana nearly 40 families came from
two townships in Iowa and their |
success this year is certain to
bring large number this winter |
and next spring.
Twenty families a month are
going on the Shoshone project in |
Wyoming, nearly all of whom
came from the middle west.
There still remains farms for
several hundred home-builders
on these projects, and the oppor.
tunity is worthy of the careful
consideration of every man who !

BALTIMORE. July 2s.-William B. Ray

nervous and mental trouble was brought
TO Baltimore from Norfolk this morning

physicians and nurses. He was taken to
an institution In western Pennsylvania

When young Rayner left Baltimore last

inent alienists. He eluded his attendants
and buying an automobile started for the
mountains Of Pennsylvania.
He was traced afterward to Atlantic

TREASURY RUNNING BEHIND.
A Deficit OF n Million Dollars for Each
Working Day-Fallins on In Receipts.

WASHINGTON, July 2s-The current re-
oeipts OF the Government since the opening
Of the fiscal year, on July /. have declined
by about 5000, 900 as compared with the
first twenty-three days Of the fiscal year
1907 At the same time there has been an
increase in expenditures. and the daily
Treasury statement already shows deficit
for three weeks Of more than $40, ,OOo, 600.
The falling off in customs receipts is
source Of concern to the Treasury officials.
Since July the collections have amounted
TO only $14,51O, ,6Oe, as against $40, ,lO7, ,sa3 in
the same days Of last year. This decrease.
OF about 90 per cent. upsets the calcula-
tions OF the Secretary as announced in
his annual message to Congress. 1t is
realized that there must be a marked i'm
provement in general business conditions
il there is to be any considerable increase in
the current receipts from customs during
the next few months.
There has also been falling off in re-
oeipts from internal revenue, although
the loss from this source has amounted
to only $780, in the first three weeks
Of July There is always Treasury deficit
in July and August, by reason OF the fact
that's a large number of new appropriations
become available at the beginning OF the
fiscal year; but this years discrepancy
between receipts and disbursements is
unusually large. In the last three weeks
the Government has been running behind
at the rate of 81, 900 900 for every working
day.
Since the early part OF July the deposits
Of Government moneys in national banks
under the recent call Of Secretary Cortelyou
have been reduced by about ss5, 600 900.
In consequence the available cash balance
in the Treasury has been considerably in
creased. The cash balance, however, on
account Of increased daily expenditures
and diminished receipts stood to-day at
only s2Os, ,O5s s47, as against $3.50 1877 ,slo on
