Eqq Vases for Easter.

Charming little vases for holding
an individual nosegay for each plate
were seen last year at a daintily laid
table. For several days before Eas-
ter, the cook, who vas mother as

her Easter cakes, to break all the
G g at the small end and save the
shells. These were rinsed out with
cold water, cut off evenly to make
the mouth of the vase, then each shell
marked in gilt with the name of a
member of the family.

The Ranch received an early Mon
day morning call from Mr.. H. l.. Shelf
fer of Olalla, Wash. Mr.. Shelter is a
vigorous man of 88 years, who thinks
nothing of walking two miles to the
boat landing and riding the Is miles
to the city before many of it's profess
sional men put in an appearance. He
considers his 40-acre ranch too large
by half and raises an acre and a half
of Strawberries, has $50 apple trees
and cares for five cows, making his
own butter. He was in search OF al
falfa seed for a trial on his ranch. Mr..
Shelter attributes his vigor to the
constant use of an open air shelter,
to an abstemious life in food and
drink and to a clear conscience.

The Arabian plan of making coffee
is to boil the grounds from one meal
for about an hour and a half, to strain
it, and to use the liquid part, boiling
hot, next day, instead of water. By
this method the small amount of nour-
ishment which coffee contains is e
tracted and the flavor of the coffee is
improved.

Delicious meat dumplings may be
made in this way: Take one well-beat-
en- egg, a pinch of sugar, a small cup
of sweet milk, a teaspoonful of soft
butter, two large te%aspoonfuls of best
baking powder sifted through a pint
of flour, adding enough more flour to
make a stiff batter. Drop in small ia
blespoonfuls into a kettle of boiling
meat eight minutes before ready to
serve. Do not allow the steam to es-
cape while cooking. These are espe-
cially fine for chicken or mutton stew.
Any l~eft-overs are delicious sliced,
fried in a little butter and served with
sweet syrup.

BURST AN OLD CANNON.

In spite of the fact that 1t has al
ways been a dangerous piece of ord
nance, and was long ago condemned,
old "Winneshiek." the cannon that
has so many times been used for
celebration purposes at DEBORAH, was
resurrected and hauled to the brow of
the hill to be in readiness against the
Fourth of July festivities. A gang of
a half dozen enthusiasts were on hand
early to wake the sleeping citizens.
and they succeeded quite effectively
in their efforts. Incidentally they came
near furnishing an early morning ia
tally to mar the days pleasure. They
had fired several shots and everything
was going nicely but in the seventh
inning old "Winneshiek," burst and
fragments flew in all directions. Some
went perilously close to the cele-
brants. gouging into the earth and
throwing dirt in their faces, but for
tunately no damage was done.

MUST BE KEPT IN DRY PLACE
Important Point to Remember When
Putting Away PickIes-Also Be
Generous with Vinegar.

Pickles should be kept in glass bot
ties or earthen jars, and be closely
corked. They must be kept in a dry
place. 1t is important that pickles
should be covered at least two inches
above the surface with pure cider
vinegar. All vinegar left after max,
ing pickles can be spiced and bottled
to put In sauces Remember boiled
vinegar decreases in strength. Alum
will harden homemade pickles. A
small lump of alum and a root OF
h~orseradish are often put among them.
In making small pickles, select cucum.
bers of uniform size. Any fruit can
be picked. Prunes and cherries are
nice when made into pickles. If cher
ries are chosen, they should be firm,
whole and the sour variety. Few re,
move the stems. They should not be
overripe when used. Put them into a
jar and cover with cold vinegar.
Leave three weeks in vinegar. Then
pour off two-thirds the vinegar. sweet

fresh vinegar to the cherries. After
draining off the vinegar boil It AMI
make a strip to pour over the pickles,

James u. Sammis Of Iowa, head Of

meeting at Los Angeles. Senator
Sammis has long been conspicuous in
Iowa in politics and the law. He was
al one time nominated for state rail
road commissioner, but because of
plumbers on the part of the secre-
taries ,he was counted out. Sammis
was for a time collector for the north
ern Iowa district, and at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature he came to the
front as a conspicuous member of the
state senate where he gained the rep.
utation of being by far the best ora
tor in the body. He was elected SUI

IOWA FACTORIES AND FARMS

Here's a problem which came to the
table of the editor of Greater Iowa:
Iowa farms 35, 200, 900 acres, SO that
the annual output is worth S444.0OO,-
900.
Iowa's 500 factories with $4,000 EN-.
ployes turn out goods worth $1SO,OOO.-
900.
What would be the result If Iowa
had 5000 factories with 500 900 en-
ployes turning out SIS, OO0, 900 worth
of stuff each year?
Everyone would say off-hand that
1t would be a good thing all u
Most persons would dismiss 1t there.
OF course there would be more mon
ey in circulation with such a fine ar
my of wage n and such a steady
stream Of wealth pouring in to pay
for goods.
But the most important effect would
oe on the 8 ,O00,O 900 acres of Iowa's
big farm.
There wouldn't be very many more
acres added to the farm-just here
and there a fence corner cleared out
or a swamp drained.
But every acre would be worth
more and it's products would be worth
more, and every farmer would see to
1t that every acre produced more be-
cause it would pay to do so.
1t would solve the problem involved
in the tiresome query: why do
farmers leave Iowa?"
1t would put intensive farming
through a forcing process which
would compel land holders who do
not make the most of their holdings
to get the land into the hands of men
who go the limit.
In short, the value Of the Iowa farm
output might be increased to $780,
OOO, 900 or $7,OO0,O 900 or $500, OOO, 900,
just because of the greater home mar
ket, the greater prosperity, etc.
And this Is no idle dream.

Brown Paper for Kitchen.

If you have a taste for cooking and
like to go into the kitchen now and
then to make some fancy thing, you
can save the cook no end of trouble
by the use of brown paper while you
are at work. Before you begin with
your bowls and things spread a large
piece of paper on the table, and then
put all your cooking utensils down on
It and keep them on it. If you break
eggs, throw the shells on the paper;
in fact, the paper becomes the recep-
tacle for all the "messiness," which is
a natural part of preparing things to
be cooked. When you have made your
dish or arranged your salad, or fin
ished the thing you are doing, all the
debris can be gathered up in the pa.
per and thrown away, leaving the table
as clean az if you had not been al
work. 4

Black Currant Jelly.

This is n of the best household
-emedies for sore throat. Stem large
ripe black currants, and after wash.
ng put in the preserving kettle. al.
owing a cupful of water to each quart
IF fruit. This is essential, because the
black currants are a drier fruit thar
sither the red or white. Mash with a
wooden spoon or pestle, then cover
and cook until the currants have
reached the boiling point. Drain. To
each pint of juice allow a half pound
Of loaf sugar. Stir until we'll mixed.
Then cook just ten minutes from the
line it begins to boil. Overlooking
makes it tough and stringy. Pour in
sterilized glasses and cover with par
affine when cold. Black currant jelly
Is delicious served with game. A tea,
spoonful dissolved in a glass of cold
water makes a refreshing drink for the
sick room or for a family beverage on
a hot day.

A New Language.

There is in use in some parts OF
the west coast of Africa a system of
writing Of native invention which is
said to be successfully competing with
English writing.
1t is called the Val language, and
was invented by Doalu Bukere, as.
sisted by five of his friends.
The characters resemble Egyptian
hi%eroglyhics, but the tongue is said to
be harmonious, relatively easy to pro-
nounce, and with a grammar that is
far from difficult. 1t ia being more
and more used in West Africa, and,
1t is said. may become Ihe dominant
form of native speech in Liberia and
adjacent countries.

IFiIet of Beef.

Have some filet cut into slices about
an inch thick; melt a piece of butter
the size of an egg in a saucepan and
put in fiat the meat sprinkled with
salt and pepper. Let it stand in the
butter n hour, then put the saucepan
over a quick fire and burn the meat on
each side. Take the meat out and keep
it warm, meanwhile add to the butter
a tablespoonful of -four; stir it smooth;
put in half a pint of bouillon, half a
pound of mushrooms already peeled,
washed and cut up If too large, and
lastly the meat. Cook until the mush-
rooms are done. Add the juice of half
a lemon and serve with the meat in
the center of the dish, the mushrooms
around it and the gravy poured over.

Judges View Of jury Service.

In swearing in a jury in the supe.
Iior court, Chicago, recently, Judge
Ksvanaugh took occasion to rebuke
jury dodgers and to exalt the service
that jurors give the public. THE gen.
eral idea that jury service is onerous
is a mistaken one" said the court. II
don't believe that any one who has
ever served two weeks on a jury
would exchange his experience. Jury
service calls for the highest order of
intelligence, and for the most honor
able of men. 1t is not alone a priv
leg to serve as a Juror, but 1t is an
honor.

Did you ever happen to think how
many varieties of baskets there are?
| never did until my attention was
called to the fact by a novel basket
shower given for a September bride
to-be.
The hostess asked each guest to
bring a basket of some description.
As the "a guests were all intimate
friends they consulted among them.
selves, so the selections made did
not include duplicates. There was a
stunning brown Wistaria waste bas-
ket; one of same weave to hold fruit;
n market basket made by n Dutch
peasant; a clothes basket; tiny cov-
cred basket to hold n thimble. This
was in a round work basket, that also
had a scissors shield woven to match.
There was a clothes hamper, and a
cunning covered basket with a handle.
just large enough to hold n lunch for
two.
To go with these baskets there was
a tea or coffee rest woven of sweet
grass to use when serving on the
porch, and quaint wall holders in
which a tumbler could be inserted to
hold wild flowers. The honored guest
was perfectly delighted with this
shower, for II turned out that baskets

IMPORTANCE OF IOWA SWINE

At the recent meeting of the Iowa
swine breeders some interesting facts
were brought out. Every year Iowa
produces 100000 head Of swine. This
number is o~ne-seventh the entire
swine product of the United States.
And it's a proportion of four hogs
to every one of Iowa's 10000 900 peo-
pie. These 10000 0 hogs are worth
$50, 250, 900, nearly one-ifth the valu.
alton of all the hogs produced in the
United States. The valuation is also
greater than the combined product OF
any two states. Iowa hogs surpass
in numbers all the horses, mules, milk
cows, beef cattle and sheep of the
state.
