Some Random Thoughts.

Variety is the Spice OF Life" So
we will stop talking about crops and
farming and consider for a few min
utes ''The Dreamer and the Toiler,"
Uncle Eben's philosophy, and Mrs.
Hutts housekeeping article.
The Fireless Cooker is no expert
ment. however much 1t may be a nov
city. I know where 1t is used, and
was made by the "good man" who
had some turn for working with tools
Where housekeeper employs SER
wants 1t Is questionable If there would
be any saving In it's use. In most in
stances II would mean another care for
the housekeeper. But where the work
is done by members of the family, and
especially in towns where wood or
coal has to be bought, it Is only a
question of time when every kitchen
will be eqipped with Fireless Cook
er.
Our farm homes should have them.
and the farmer who will buy himself
a corn planter or cultivator, and leave
his wife to i"toat" the water and wood,
and scorch over red hot stove. and
put up with the most primitive house
hold arrangements. may expect to see
the roses fade from her cheeks and
the boys and girls move off to the
towns as fast as they approach man
hood and womanhood.
Look into the cost and construction
of the Fireless Cooker. A friend of
mine made one at very little cost.
The saving in coal paying for it in a
month or so. And the saving of his
wife's strength and health being in
calculable. besides the many social
pleasures they enjoy together by only
having to cook once day The fire
for the breakfast being the only one
needed for the days cooking.

TO CUT NATIONS EXPENSE.
Special Cabinet Meeting Held for the

Washington, July 21.-A special
meeting of the cabinet was held at
the White House today to further dis
cuss the matter of cutting down the
estimates of the various departments
for the coming fiscal year.
The pruning of the estimates is
proving a source of considerable
work. The cabinet scrutinized care

in their respective departments and
when the cabinet adjourned it had
completed consideration of only .
small portion of the total amount that

of milk can be placed in a pail of
cold water and in box to keep cool un-
til needed. If it is winter and baby's
midnight lunch needs to be kept
warm, heat it at night and set it in
the box. 1t will be found warm
enough without the trouble of re-
heating.
A vessel of boiling water set in the
box at night is a great help if sick
ness is In the house and hot water is
needed during the night. In the morn
ing it Will be hot enough for dish
washing
In short. the fireless cooker can be
used for cooking anything except
those foods whose chief attraction lies
in the crispness that results from rap
id cooking.
The housewife must not expect to
have perfect results the very first
time she uses it. Her results were
first time shS used her cook stove. Pa
tience will give experience. Best re-
suits are obtained if the food is cook
ed in the same vessel that is set in the
box. Be careful not to lift the lid of
box or vessel and thus let out heat
and steam.
Have too much water in the pot
rather than too little. When box is
not in use, be sure to have it airing,
musty.
There are many advantages from
the use of the fireless cooker, but
perhaps none is more appreciated by
the housewife than that of not having
to stand over the hot stove so much
on summers day. 1t saves expense
because much less wood is used. 1t
saves trouble for tire men, because
there is less wood to saw, chop or
carry in. The cares of the housewife
are lessened in many ways.
The pots, not being blacked or
burned are easier to clean and wear
longer.
Kitchen odors are done away with:
thus flies are not so much attracted,
which materially adds to the health
of theNamily.
Time and labor are saved.
The food is better cooked and
tastes better because the volatile oils
that give the distinctive f1avors can
not pass into the air. Meats especial
ly are mxe nutritious and digestible
because of the long, slow process of
cooking.
The discomfort and actal suffer-
ing oceasioned by unnecessary heat
in the house are avoided. In using a
hay box, most of the cooking can be
done in the cool of the evening or
early morning.
1t will furnish a hot meal at a
picnic and hot coffee or cold water
to the men in the efld.
It keeps warm the breakfast for
the late riser.
The fireless cooker will not d0
| everything. 1t is not a cure-all for
the troubled, tired housewife. It is.
however, a great burden litter and
does lessen the work, and the smart
little woman on the farm will invent
for herself fifty useful methods Of
using the fireless cooker that have
not been able to mention here.

INTEREST IN RAINS
COTTON MARKET IS WATCHING
 WEATHER CONDITIONS.
No Prophecy Can He Made Now Regard ing the Effect of the Repeated Downpour, But it Is Believ-
 cd the Crop Wisl be
 Delayed.

The interest of the cotton market is entirely centered on the excessive rains of the last five days. For a parallel one must go back as far as 1886. Then the lowlands were similarly inundated, and the uplands thoroughly washed. Crops were considerably set back that year and there was a marked decrease in acreage.
 While no accurate prophecy can be made now regarding the effect of the reported downpours, it is the general belief that acreage will be somewhat cut down and the crop delayed iE ma turing. Certainly there wil be no in- crease of acreage in those sections where 1t had been placed.
 The planting season has been set lowlapds will all have to be plowed when they dry out. and 1t may be d month before they are in shape for seed. Much of the land. too high to be submerged now, will have to be plowed again as the earth will be caked down after the settling of the soil takes place. Then, too, wherever fertilizer has been spread. the chances are that little will ,oe left on the ground and that washed away must be replaced.
 The damage done is as widespread as 1t Is pronounced. The territory swept by the rain storms extends as far as Rome. Ga, and takes in all the territory which has Montgomery for three or four days some estimate of the loss to the cotton crop may be made.
 The price of cotton remains the same and there Is no change in the dullness of the market.
