Governor Hughes visited the different
historic points on the lake In com
pany with Governor Proctor and other
OFFICIALS, with the appropriation of
largo sum for the undertaking by the
New York Legislature as a result. This
fact is still fnrther demonstrated by the
present appointment by Senator
Raines under resolutions passed at the
regular session OF the Legislature at
Albany of Senators Knapp OF Clinton

Senator F'rawley Of New York to the

DOES THE FARMER LACK GUMP-
rION.

Why is It that lack OF enterprise and
gumption is usually associated (and
rightly to rural districts. Francis II.
Mclean, writing In the June Charities
and the Commons, says that Professor
Bailey, the head OF the College OF Agri-
culture at Cornell believes that the alb
scnce of push" is due to arrested de-
velopment and individualism and there
fore the country Is the less in need of
technical education than the broader APP
plcation OF education. What Is required
is not only better farming but better bus
mess and better living. Tho first step
must be to devolp the local fact, this BY
means OF agricultural surveys which
shall be Intensive studies of Individual
farms, covering the pedigree Of tho stock,
analysis Of the soil. water supply, rela-
tive productive. etc, and by the ex-
pert advice regarding intensive cultiva-
ton based on these facts, fastening the
farmer to his particular piece OF land
with increased virility and enthusiasm.
Hand In hand with this there must Of
course go the development of local In
stitutions. What Professor Bailey has to
say In this connection regarding the re-
organizatio of the funda mental basis, -
lnnd-is most interesting. There is no
such thing as an abandoned farm. What
IL true Is that with agriculture in state
Of fux there must be n reorganization OF
the traditional units. the fenced in farms.
which is made more difficult because the
institutions OF the open country have
been sterilized. Tho fences marking the
individual farms have not yet changed
as they must.

HOW TO COOK SUMMER vEGE-
TABLES.

Aspa RI gus-Asparagus should he cut
in even lengths, tied in bunch, and
stood upright in the saucepan so that
the water will not reach the heads of
the stalks Thus, while 1t Is necessary
that the lower. or tougher portions OF
the stalks should be boiled until tender.
the upper or more tender parts Will COOK
sufficiently II merely steamed.
Beans-If a little sugar Is added to the
water in which string beans are cooked
It will help to bring out the flavor of the
vegetable. a teaspoonful OF sugar to
two quarts Of beans will be sufficient for
this purpose pinch of baking soda
will not only preserve the color of the
beans, but will help to make the toughest
beans tender. In cooking lima beans
a piece OF butter the size Of hickory
nut added to the water will prevent them
from foamng over.
Beets-Never peel beets before cooking
them, says Miles Bradford in July De-
signer Merely wash and scrape them;
then put them on to boil without remov-
ing even the root end. When they have
become tender, plunge them into cold
water for "A moment or two and the
skins may be rubbed off without the
slightest trouble. In this way the beets
may be made to retain all their color.
Cabba ge-The best way to cook new
cabbage is to cut it into small pieces,
after removing the core, and boil 1t In
water that scarcely covers II. Any Of
this water that is left when the cabbage
is done must be drained away before the
vegetable can be prepared. or dressed
for the table. A little baking soda add
ed to the water in which the cabbage is
cooked will help to make 1t more tender.
A little sugar will improve the flavor.

GOV. HUGHES AS TO THE CITIES.

FALSE ECONOMY IN FRYING.
(By Alice L. whitaker

Probably more false economy is
shown In methods of frying than in any
other form of cookery. Cooking In Il
little fat Is not frying and among cooks
IS called sauteing. q word adapted from
the French saute, meaning to cook In
little fat. This method which to the
amateur seems the easiest and Is most
generally practiced Is what has brought
the frying pan and fried foods into just
disrepute. 1t Is almost impossible to heat
the fat without soorching it and to
cook In this way often means merely TO
partially burn the food.
II cooking one side Of a slice of fish
for instance. is accomplished success
fully, when 1t is turned over the cooked
side, now the upper side. cools rapidly
The surplus fat on Its surface must soak
In and cannot be drained of afterwards;
the sides Of the slice also are not scared
Immediately and soak more or less fat
1t takes more fat to saute than to fry
in deep fat for whatever Is not absorbed
by the food Is wasted as II is scorched
more or less and mingled with bits OF
food. 1t is usually scraped into the
kitchen waste, The fact has been proven
many times, by carefully weighing fat
used and amount left over, after boti
deep frying and sauteing, that the Least
is wasted In frying In large amount
that gives complete immersion.
Slices of fish. either egged and crumbed
or rolled in nour or meal. are fit for az

BOND DEVELOPMENTS.

The development OF the United States
during the years which have elapsed
since the Civil War exigencies caused the
creation OF the present currency system
is probably most forcibly shown by the
existing evidences Of funded debts--the
municipal and railroad bonds now out
standing. There is at present the enor-
nous total OF 1856, 1884, 900 of railroad and
municipal bonds in the country. The de-
tailed figures are Railroad bonds, ST.
913,0co.0oo; municipal bonds. $l,543 1874, 900.
This includes tho Indebtedness of coun-
ties as shown by the census report of
1900. statement Of actual county in
debtedness TO date, If 1t could he had,
would increase the municipal total still
further.
Many new facts regarding the financial
work of the country have been unearthed
as a result of recent investigation. One
of the most surprising of these Is the
fact that the West has parted company
"ith 'i' i-iSl III 50 lar as inutliClpal
loans are concerned and now finances its
own public improvements. An authority
says:
THE West is a much larger owner OF
bonds than is generally supposed" writes
Mr.. Harris land is increasing more rap
idly than the East and will undoubtedly
continue SO to do. Municipal bonds is.
sued in the West are now nearly all pur-
chased by western investors, while New
York investors have always favored rail
way bonds so that New York has nevei
been much of a market for municipa
issues. OF course municipal bonds orig
| mating in the State of New York. ar,
bought by the New York savings banks
| However, l am sure that of late year!
! there have been more municipal bond
| which were issued in the State of New
| York which have been bought by and ar,
now owned in the West than there hav'
| been western municipal bonds bought by
and owned in, New York, Hence, SO IA
as the market for municipal bonds Il
| concerned, their value Is by no mean
controlled by Wall Street"
