my husband how he liked the coffee.
I'VE each drank three cups apiece,

STEWED CHICKEN WITH RICE.

STEWED CHICKEN WITH RICE.
Carefully clean and wash a large,
fat chicken; season it both inside and
outside with pepper and salt and put
u into stew kettle with half pound
of rice, picked and washed.
Add one quart of water; place it
over slow fire and let it stew gradu-
ally for two hours; keep the kettle
covered. After boiling some time
should the rice be too dry little
more water may be added, though
not more than sufficient to keep it
moist.
When done, place the chicken on
a dish, with the rice around it and
garnish with sprigs of parsley. Serve
with white sauce.-New York Press.

The Poultry Yard.
American

When selling spring chickens, re-
member that early Matched pullets
make the best winter layers. But a
pullet can be Matched so early that
she will mott like an old hen and be
as tardy about beginning to lay.
The kind of weather is now here
when all poultry needs shade, and
young chicks cannot take care of
themselves so we'll in this regard
as old birds can. See that there is
shade convenient to where they stay
most of the time.
1t is easy to stuff lazy hens with
feed till they are too fat to lay,
while they might have rolled out the
eggs all right II they had had less
feed and had been compelled to exer-
else in scratching it out of litter.
Do not make chickens lay or roost
in houses that do not have ample VEN
tilation in summer. Get the hot air
out of the house and let the vigor of
the chickens be turned to some good
service instead of resisting uncom-
Portable conditions.
Do not get discouraged If the hatch
you were putting so much reliance in
did not turn out we'll. The sun cam
not shine for us all the time. Instead
of becoming discouraged, try another
setting and do everything practical
to make a success with it.
If hens with chicks are on a lawn
where the grass is cut rather short,
it is much better to scatter hard grain
in the clean grass when it is dry and
let them hunt it for exercise. They
will get more fun out of it than a
small boy gets out of wading in the
mud
Clean milk is a very superior poul-
try food, but dirty milk. whether dirt
dropped into the milk or the milk

Make Every Farm a Little Kingdom.
The people who own the farms Of
this country may easily become the
controlling power over commerce,
finance and industry; but to do this
they must first make themselves inde-
pendent. The ideal farm is the one
that includes a little kingdom within
its own limits. There should be
horses, cattle, hogs, chickens and an
abundance of foodstuffs for man and
beast Every farmer should strive
in this direction until he attains the
end in view, free of debt. Then let
him produce for market what he will.
This is not a dream. 1t is plain,
practical proposition, and the easiest
possible way to prosperity and sue

the idea is that the ideal can be OBJ
tanned by any individual regardless
Of what other people do.-Yorkyille

10 Make Sweet Potatoes on Rich
Land.


II you plant sweet potatoes or land
where crop of peas grew last sum
mer, you will not need to use any nj
trOgenous fertilizer, but only liberal
application of acid phosphate and
potash. Sometimes we hear COM
plants that soil is too rich for sweet
potatoes and that they run to vines
1t is not the fertility Of the soil, but
the lack Of balance. In an old garden
that has been manfred for years
there will be an excess of nitrogen
In proportion to the phosphoric acid
and potash that potatoes need, and
you can grow fine sweet potatoes in
the richest of land IL you give liber-
ally of the mineral elements to ball
ance the plant food In the soil. Large
and strong vines are essential to large
crops, but the storage of starch in the
roots and the making of fine potatoes
depends upon the supply of phos-
phoric acid and potash present.
Therefore, would not fear to use
well rotted manure for sweet pota-
toes, provided at same time l supple
ment the manure with acid phosphate
and sulphate Of potash. F..

ALREADY LIMA THINKS THAT
IT IS RIPE FOR THE CENTRAL

games before reaching Lima. And the
gentleman scanned the SEQ bo' he
would have noticed that Marion's
winning streak was broken at Mans
field by breaking even in two double
headers. If the Diggers had Lima
alone to play the winning streak
might never be broken.
AS far as Lima is concerned that
city is the joke OF the league in the
scoring line. The box scores and sum-
maries sent out from there always
fail to contain that which II most
important and the averages sent out
from Lima are jokes.
Now about the best advice is that
the newspapers get together, boost
the Lima team and make baseball
conditions there better Lima may
think that II is drawing the best
crowds in the Ohio State league but
IL is not Uuless the newspapers boost
no one else will. Lima papers suggest
that since Lima is drawing such good
crowds IN the Ohio State league that
IL will become a part of the Central
League next year No chance Better
be good losers or even an Ohio State
league franchise will be taken away.
