Better Draft Horse Breeding.

American importers of draft horses
seem TO have turned their attention
to the importation of an unusual
number OF pure bred draft mares
this season. in order TO meet a larger
demand for these, as we'll as to 90
more pure breeding OF draft horses in
this country. There is an increasing
demand among our farmers who pay
special attention to draft horse grow
ing, and this has prompted the addi-
tional importation OF pure bred
mares. Hitherto, as a rule, American
farmers have been content to provide
themselves with pure bred draft stall.

to high grades, and for this purpose
have used the best grade mares in
this line for such purposes. content

Home Made Sausages.

The meat should be chopped very
fine. When ready for the seasoning
put in just water enough to enable
you to mix the ingredients equally.
Be careful not to use more than is
required. To twelve and half
pounds OF meat put gill of fine salt,
heaping gill of powdered sage, and
half sill of ground pepper. Let
the measure be exact. Take strong
cotton cloth, Of such a size that, when
filed. it will be as large around as a
common half pint mug. Sew up only
quarter of yard, then fill it tight
so far; then sew another quarter and
fill it, and so on until you reach the
end, then the end tie up. Dip the
bag in strong salt and water and dry
it before filing it. Keep in a cold.

A New Market For Vegetables.

In Wisconsin an important indus
try has been developed in the manu-
facture OF what are called dehydrated
vegetables. The method is about the
same as that applied TO fruit in pro-
ducing evaporated apples, peaches.
etc. The vegetables. including car
rots, potatoes, cabbages. etc, are
sliced, dried and compressed into
small packages. These condensed
vegetables are sold for ship supplies
and in the mining regions of the
Northwest. An order for over 300,-
600 pounds was lately received for
the Pacific squadron of the United
States Navy. The vegetables are used
in making stews and soups-Amer-

Fought Fish With an Axe.

Hon. Thomas McEyoy, of Chicago
to-day performed the unusual feat OF
catching big fish with an axe.
Mr.. McEvoy was wading out TO
trim off some piles that form the
foundation for the pier in front OF
his palatial summer home. Friends
on shore were surprised to see him
jump almost out of the water, and
then swing his axe as if he were at
lacking the winters wood supply.
Five minutes later he waded ashore
with thirty-two-pound red horse.
Mr.. McEvoy said the fish tried to
bite chunk out of his left leg, and
he had to kill it in self-defense.-

OIL MEMS DISCOVERY IN THE

Ran from Sapulpa, related very odd
story TO a Democrat reporter to-day.
1t wa that of bee sting resulting
in the finding of a gold mine OF honey
in the rock banks near Sapulpa.
N. L. Kelley and John Clancy, two
the parties implicated in the story.
Mr.. Kelley and Mr. Clancy started
out Monday morning from Sapulpa to
drive to well they are drilling on
| the Doggy land, seven miles west Of
Sapulpa. The men were about half
way 10 the we'll when suddenly they
were attacked by large drove Of
bees. The bees swarmed about the
buggy and stung the men and horses
until they were compelled to seek
refuge. They whipped UP their team
and drove to the cabin Of an Indian
named Watahee. Here they told of
their adventure and had the pain
alleviated By the Indian. who put
some kind Of preparation on their
wounds
In conversation with the Indian
concerning the occurrence they were
told of the many bees in the hills
and caves about three miles west of
! Sapulpa They did not believe this
story at first. He said that the In
dams around his cabin were getting
gallons Of honey in the caves every
day. This set the oil men to think
ing. That afternoon they went TO
the place he told them of. On their
way they met an old Indian woman
who was carrying two pals of spark
ling strained honey. This encouraged
them
They came upon big pest oak in
the field. This had been hacked in
several places and the honey was
dripping from the cut in the tree
into regular pools on the ground.
! They did not stop a. the tree, but
went on to the caves. AS they
neared the rock cliffs hey could hear
q droning like that of signing pine
trees. so many in number were the
/ bees. AS they came closer they could
see a kind OF black cloud lowering
before the rocks. There must have
been fifty big swarms of bees around
the rocks
When they were close up to the
cliffs they noticed huge cracks in the
rocks, and large holes. In these the
honey was dripping almost in small
streams. There were some twenty
buckets and pals setting in the rocks
catching the honey. The Indians are
said to break the cobs of honey with
sticks, and let the honey run out into
pals. A pail will fill in two days
time. 1t is said that the finding OF
this great bee industry by the oil
men accounts for the great amount
of strained honey the Indians have
been marketing. 1t was thought be-
fore that the Indians raised the bees.
The oil men say that the sand
stones in the cliffs are just saturated
with honey and little piece of stone
in bucket of water will sweeten it.
The discoveries are at 2 less to know
how the bees came TO be there. 1t
is said by Indians ard other old
timers in this section that about ten
years ago an old Indian who had a
few bees was killed. II is thought
by them that his bees went wild and
multiplied and increased il number
until at present there are millions of
honeymakers.-Tul Democrat

Ealsed Tomatoes.

Take the centres out of dozen
large tomatoes, and put these centres
to cook with two tablespoonfuls OF
butter, slice of bacon chopped fine
salt. pepper, and two tablespoons OF
fine crumbs. Cook this slowly for
twenty minutes, take up. and with il
fill the tomatoes. Dust with bread
crumbs and set in the oven to bake
for half an hour. The delicacy of the
tomatoes and their desirability as an
accompaniment for the capon would
be impaired If meat of any kind were
used in the stuffing of these tomatoes.
In fact, it is pretty safe to say that
the harmonies of dining are better
preserved If tomatoes stuffed with any
sort Of chopped meat are served by

ways an injustice to any meat entree

The Irish standard., 1908-10-03

At reception rendered John Red
nond and his colleagues at the Audi
torium Annex, Chicago, the leader OF
the Irish Nationalist party said that
Home Rule in Ireland is coming soon,
sooner even than was expected a year
ago. He referred to the fact that in
sane ideas which injured the move
ment in the past had been dispelled.
People no longer believe that Home
Rule in Ireland would mean the rob-
bing of the landlords or be the occa-
sion for an outburst of religious intol-
erance. Irish Protestants for the most
part are as loyalty for Home Rule as
their Catholic countrymen. Mr.. Red
mond did not mince words in speaking
of the Sim Fein movement. He said
it does not amount to row of pins,
and if a man sought to go before the
people as an exponent of that move
ment, he would not get half a dozen
votes. In view of the disappearance
of factionalism in Ireland, there is no
reason why any should exist among
the friends of Ireland in this country

in better position to Judge of the

and best equipped for bringing about
