Most Of US. crave variety, and IN
August when corn is plentiful, it is
only the lazy housewife who serves
corn day after day just plain boiled.
OF co-rse. there are some persons who
think that the only way to serve green
corn is on the cob, boiled, steamed or
roasted in the husk. But some Of these
lersons. even. do not know how TO
cook il in this way so that it keeps all
Of its distinctive flavor and appears on
the table as tender. crisp and succulent
as when ii left the stalk.
Corn on the Cob-For eating on the
cob. corn should be very carefully
chosen. and this choice should never
he left to the discretion of the vege-
table man The better shops make no
objection when the woman who does
her own marketing pulls down the
outer sheafs Of the husk to see that the
kernels are phite, plump ana even. The
secret of tender corn, once the right
kind is chosen. lies in plenty Of boiling
water. BE sure to have enough water
in the kettle to cover the corn. and be
sure to have it actively boiling. Re
move all but the inner leaves Of the
husk from the corn. drop the ears
quickly into the boiling water. cover
tightly and boil about ten minutes
not lOnger-When the corn IS young.
Some cooks say that a bit of butter the
size of a walnut dropped in the water
keeps the corn white, and ( certainly
doesn't hurt it. Corn should be eaten
the moment it is done. 1t should be
taken to the table covered with a nap
kin, and each person to whom it is
passed should have a special small
plate for it. on which lies a small
folded napkin or dolly.
Baked Tomatoes Stuffed With Corn
Corn and tomatoes are especially
good together, and for cool August
evening the following dish will be
found very appetizing Select medium
sized, even tomatoes. Cut off the stem
ends for covers-if they have little
stems for handles all the better-and
remove the pulp from the inside. Cut
corn from enough freshly boiled ears
to fill the required number of toma-
toes. mix ii with few dry bread
crumbs, salt pepper butter and lit
tie cream. Put this mixture in the to-
matoes. on top of each put thin
slice of bacon. cover them with their
own lids, and bake half an hour in a
good, hot oven. Put little water in
the pan holding them to keep them
from burning. Before serving remove
the bacon and replace the slids.
Corn and Tomato Salad
This is practically the same combi-
nation as the above, but is suitable for
warmer weather Select tomatoes like
those for the baked dish, cut off the

Corn Gems.

In this guise, green corn may be
served for breakfast. Cut the kernels
from six ears Of boiled corn. Beat the
yolks of two eggs and add to one cup
with a teaspoonful of baking powder
and half teaspoonful of salt into a

move the beaten. whip in the corn with
a spoon, and then fold in the two
whites of eggs, beaten stiff. Bake in
muffin rings for 20 or 80 minutes.

Good Bacteria BY Mail.

After a number of difficulties were
gradually surmounted the United
States department of agriculture. UNI
der the efficient leadership of DR.. G. T.
Moore, began sending out to farmers
packages in which good bacteria were
spread on cotton. Some of these pack
ages of bacteria succeeded as fertiliz-
ers. but others failed, chiefly owing it
was found, to the bacteria losing their
power on such a dry medium and dy-
ing. This objection, writes DR.. Will
liam Hanna Thompson in Everybody's
seems to be overcome by a process
adopted by DR.. Earl Thomas, formerly
Of New Zealand, but now Of Bloom
field, n. j., who sends from his labor
atorythere to farmers pure cultures of
active multiplying bacteria in sealed
tubes, the bacteria in then living in a
medium which is partly jelly-like and
in good condition for months, and are
ready for immediate use by adding a
few drops Of the midum to gallon
of water in which the seeds are simply
immersed; after being thus inoculated
they can be forthwith planted. The
results reported by numerous trust
worthy practical farmers and garden
ers show from so to 100 per cent in
crease in the yield of the bacteria
inOculated seeds over that from seeds
grown without such preparation.

progressive city up the second rive
from here, She is face to face with
the unacceptable change she has dread
ed so long; she must soon do tht

cal seaport Of the State and not iron
her own meagre and remote docks
and while she is not likely to lose
much, and the State nothing, she reb-
els against the REIMBURSEMENT of her

shipping market Of this territory.

economy. We wish we might have at.
tanned to the thing upon our own in
'itiative; but as il is, the initiative, the
claim and the business, have all been
supplied by the farther section, to
whom it will be of even greater value
and emolument than to us at this end.
All this, OF course, upon the predicate
that the plea Of the Farmers Union
is to prevail with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, a condition
no one doubts will ensue upon the
full and formal presentment of the
arguments to be made, And we still
insist, that whatever Astoria may gain
in the premises Portland will lose prac-
tically nothing, in dollars, or pres
tige, for she will still do the actual
business of the States shipping.
wheresoever the docks and elevators
may be later on.
1t is impossible to eliminate the
Portland interest and influence from
this great engagement; nor do we
know Of anyone who desires to cut it
out or even mitigate it. Astoria
wants the business because she is en-
titled to it as the finest and cheapest
port on the Oregon coast; because
she can give ampler returns on the
business by the cheaper and swifter
handling; and she does not care very
much upon whose capital she does it.
Certainly Portland money and enter
prise must figure commandingly in
any change that comes to this busi-
ness and we are not challenging the
proposition nor fighting the fact All
we want is to be placed in the sphere
we belong to as a port and city, and
to grow with the impetus of that
rightful place and prerogative. Port
lands share in the new deal will be
properly taken care of and accounted
for, never fear!

THEY BROKE THROUGH.

It remained for the sturdy Inland
Empire farmer to break through the
line Portland had cast about herself
as the pivotal center Of all things Ore
gonian and jar that fine metropolis
loose from some Of the arrogant as
sumptions that were really burdening
her. With $4,000 able-bodied and clear
minded men who know exactly what
they want, where to go for it, and how
to seek it, backed by 25,000,000 bush
els Of wheat every season, the Farm
ers' Union had no difficulty whatever
in puncturing the exclusive hide Of
the Portland combine and making
themselves known and felt.
This, or something very like it, has
been the crowning fear and worry of
Portland for, 10, these many, many
years; she has dreaded the hour when
some agency such as this would rise
to demoralize the hard-and-fast little
game Of cinch she has been playing
on the Columbia; and now the peril IS
at hand, and in such shape as to af-
fright and stagger the ambitious and

THE TARIFF TASK.

Tariff making. and tariff amending
are among the greatest of the task
falling to the Congress and we, th'
people, are usually a bit impatien
about the manner and time in which
it is accomplished. OF course we art
nearest to the tariff in the matter o.
cost and consumption and the genera
play of the great charge, but there s
something due the men in Washing
ton who are seeking to make our
burdens, in the line OF living and do
ing. easier and less and freer, To
those men in the national assembly
who are closer to the Interests
whose businesses and concerns are
affected, the tariff is not so much q
matter Of public policy as it is Of
private profit, and they are many, in
cluding the Speaker OF the House Of
Representatives Of the United States,
worse luck!
The temper OF the present house is
not conducive to too strong fight
BY the high-binders" OF industry and
finance, as witness the smashing re-
buke Just administered to the afore-
said Speaker in his effort to save his
Standard Oil friends; there is Turk
ing sense OF wrong and injustice rec
ognized in the strenuous demands OF
the combines and quick and effec-
tive sentiment against it. Conditions
that the people must applaud, since
no real wrong is being done the
mighty claimants, even when their
wishes are denied and abated. There
seems, also, to be tendency to keep
the commoner staples within easy
range though they may not all go to
the free-list; and so the people may
take some comfort in the big fight
that is going on for and against them.
One trouble with the American is
that he will not try to fathom the de-
tails which SO hugely affect him and
his living; in all our millions of in
terested people, there are, perhaps,
few paltry thousands that have any
definite knowledge whatever of the
tariff scales and charges as formulat-
ed by the government, and even fewer
who give thought to the inner work
ings Of the scientific schedules and
their bearings on the individual and
his business. 1t seems to be beyond
them, and yet it is not; but the gen
eral indifference serves the end Of the
predatory class by allowing them to
operate unhindered Of the real oppo-
sition that should confront them, the
real wish of the people. They do
things differently in England; there,
the ordinary citizen keeps in almost
intimate touch with the man he sent
to the Commons and the man in the
Commons knows it, and governs him
self accordingly 1t is time we were
waking up bit and studying the evils
we have let run riot for generations
past
