HOUSEHOLD WASTES.

In feeding animals, the development
of only the muscular and fatty tissues
is needed, while in feeding man we
must think of the intellectual as well
as the physical; hence the greater
need for knowledge and systematic
care with reference to the feeding
of the family.
Why cannot the successful live
stock feeders principles be carried in
to the home, and a ration, for such it
is, be compounded there with equally
good results?
The nutritive value of human foods
have as yet not been thoroughly
enough investigated to warrant the re-
suits being published as absolutely
authentic and reliable, says The Farm
ers' Tribune, but this much Is GER
tain: we as hOusekeepers do not know
and are not always able to find out
alone just where we are weak.
We cook the things we are given to
cook with little thought to the food
value of the article and much less to
the relative needs of each member of
the family. Dat meal is an example of
this. We get up in the morning and
put it on to cook for breakfast. Ply
sicians, scientists, and students of do
nestle science tell us that the protein
in oats must be cooked long time at
slow even heat in order that the di-
gestive fluids of the stomach and in
testines may act on them more readily
Many housewives hurry home from
shopping trips with a piece of steak
or bacon to cook for supper or dinner
They do not realize that from two
standpOints this is not economy: First,
a cut that will be tender with rapid
cooking is expensive; second that rap
idly cooked fried meat is hard to di-
gest, and large part of it goes undi-
gested and is thus wasted.
Young housewives are apt to waste
IN such things as cakes, pies, etc. Most
cakes are made to last family of six
for at least two meals. Often a cake
or pie will become dry before it can be
eaten. Why not make cake or pie
the size that is needed? The young
housewife will find it very easy to
divide her recipe and have cake or
pie tins just large enough for her fam
lily of two or three.
Another source of household waste
is found in the use of too many dishes
of the same class of foods. For ex-
ample, at this season of the year one
sees many tables set with a heavy
meat course to be followed with
course of mince pie and cheese. Now
mince pie and cheese, like beef, con.
tain the most expensive Of food ele-
ments, protein, and the stomach is not
able to take care of two courses of
this class of food. Unconsciously the
young housewife is wasting food in her
cooking. A little care and diligent
study of some good book on the theory
of cooking would help to relieve many
difficulties and to improve the health
of the family.

Horace Greeley once said: "The
best investment farmer can make
for his family is that which surrounds
their youth with the rational delights
of bounteous and attractive home.
No money spent upon the farm Is so
profitable as that which makes the
wife and children fond and proud of
their home"

THE TELEPHONE AND THE FARM.
ER,S WIFE,

The saying that the hand that
rocks the cradle, rules the world" Is
no better exemplified than in the gen.
eral use the telephone is receiving by
farmers wives all over the country.
The farmer himself uses telephone
for business purposes almost entirely
but his industrious spouse combines
both business and pleasure. A tele-
phone brings the city or town to her
very door yet she can enjoy all the
comforts of farm life.
Besides ordering her groceries,
telling the meat man to stop-keeping
posted on the latest market price OF
eggs and butter, she makes friends
and neighbors with farm wives miles
away. The telephone keeps her from
getting lonely when the family are
away, acts as companion and ever
in case of need. The practical ways
in which the farmers wives use a
telephone are numberless.
In speaking of the telephones in the
rural districts, an agent for Farm
ers' Telephone" company said, Its
the farmers wife every time who de-
cides whether an instrument shall go
in or not and I have made my argu-
ments accordingly. If she says no,
that settles it. The farmer will have
nothing more to do with me unless
she changes her mind, which she gen
orally does when her neighbor, Mrs.
Smith, a mile or so down the road,
tells her what solid comfort tele-
phone is
"The uses to which a woman can
put a telephone are simply surprising
One woman even went so far as to
hold the regular business meeting OF
a sewing society over the phone. An
other had friend give directions over
the phone about a crochet pattern for
a tidy. She had her son hold the re-
ceiver to her ear while she crocheted
according to directions. OF course
some of the other subscribers got
rather hot about it until the operator
at the switchboard had to "but In"
and call off the Tidy lesson"
"But one case where a farmer put
in a phone in spite of his wife, was
as follows: He argued and argued,
but she was obdurate. Finally she
said: Hell just have to put it in the
hen house, for when we married we
agreed that he was to have charge OF
everything outdoors and I of every
thing indoors. I amt going to have
telephone always ringing in my house.
Henry says the telephone will help
him in his business, and if that is so
he can have it in the hen house and
attend to it himself. So the bell jan
gled merrily amid the crows of the
ROSTERS and the cackle of the hens
for month, when it was moved into
the barn. From. there it soon made
jump to the kitchen, where 1t was
almost at the good wife's elbow. She
said apologetically that its ring was
so sort O. cheerful that she hated to
have it wasted on the cows and horses
In the barn."

The farmer, at the end of the
luncheon, took a liqueur and coffee,
and lighted a cigarette.
Jerome" he said to his oldest son,
"press the button, please, and set the
automatic plows to work again."
ooh, bother!" growled Jerome.

THE MODERN IDEA.

iT1E mODEnN tGEHs
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
That's the cry today;
Take no time for happiness,
Hustle on your way.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Tread the weaker down
What are blighted hearts to us,
When we seek renown?
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Who would stop to rest?
Give no heed to loves demands,
Drive it from your breast!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Rushing madly on,
Till the chance to live and laugh
All too soon is gone!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Faces hard and set,
Chasing after bubbles We'll
Never, never get.
