A aIo SINNER

A matter which every tiller of the
sou ought to take stock of at the close
OF the present season is whether the
crops which he has raised this year
have been above or below the average
yield for each product for his own
state and the whole country. II his
potatoes have yielded but eighty bush
els per acre. his wheat thirteen, his
corn twenty-five, his oats eighteen
bushels and his cotton but half n bale
per acre, he has reason to assume, as
1t were, sackcloth and ashes, which
emblems he should continue wearing
until he has looked into the causes OF
bis agricultural sin and failure and
has firmly decided to repent and do
better. II his record in crop produc-
don has been on the above lines, he
has not only cheated himself, robbed
the soil and set bad example to his
neighbors. but also quite essentially
been a traitor to his country.

COOKING cRANBERRIEs.
How TO Prepare This Time Henored
Turkey Accompaninent.

ROW TO Prepare This Time Honored
Turkey Accompaniment.
Many people eat cranberry sauces
with turkey more because they are
considered the proper condiment than
because they especially like them, but
they are a very fine condiment for all
meats.
One OF the most important points In
cooking them Is TO use only porcelain
or earthen dishes. never use tin or
metal, and they are better the day aft
er they are cooked. but should be kept
In glass or earthenware dishes.
The following recipe VIII be found
very toothsome: One quart crahberries,
one pound OF sugar, a pint OF water.
Boil the water and sugar together for
i've minutes, skim, add berries and
cook slowly without stirring or burn
Ing until the berries aro thoroughly
cooked and tender. They can also be
made into marmalade that can be slic-
ed with a knife. Candied. they can
hardly be told from candied cherries.
The cranberry Is the Thanksgiving
berry par excellence, but there is all
tho difference in tho world I'm the way
II is cooked. One OF the most appetiz-
Ing ways Is TO jelly them. Now while
seeds and skins are tender there is no
better way. which is one of the east
est possible to remember. Wash and
look over the berries. removing any
that are soft or imperfect. Put into
porcelain or granite kettle that has
not Clipped and sprinkle over them
half as much sugar as you have ber-
ries. on top OF the sugar crust pour
gently half much water as you have
used sugar. Thus IL you are cooking
quart OF cranberries you would need n
pint of sugar and half pint. or one
cup, of water. Cook very slowly. When
they break into n boil cover just n
few moments, but not long, as you do
not wish the skins to burst. Then I'M
cover and cook gently until tender.
Pour into n mold. When cold the juice
will be firm, inclosing the berries,
which will be soft, but retain their
form.
Candied cranberries are most deco
radye and can be used in place of the
more expensive candied cherries. Cook
In the same way and with the same
proportions OF sugar and water as for
the tellied cranberries. When tender
but not at all broken. take n skewer
or darning needle. pick out the plump
whole berries, spread on an oiled plat
ter and set in the sunshine or warm
ing oven until dry.

How to Treat a Cold.

An old way to keep n cold from get
ting worse is to go to bed and get into
a gentle sweat and take only as little
as is consistent with comfort Of drink
and of watery foods. such as gruels
and soups. II any aching or grip
symptoms come up 1t is well to take
n hot bath at bedtime. getting covered
up at once, and then take big stiff
drink Of hot water and whisky. Do
not get up or get uncovered In the
night. In the morning take a half
minute shower and n hard rub down
In warm room, and the chances are
that little signs of cold remain. Do
not take every cold cure that Tom,
Dick and Harry recommend and I'M
derstand once for all that most colds
in the last twenty years have been
mixed up more or less with grip germs,
and grip is not cured in a day.

CROSS FERTILIZATION.

More than one gardener has unwit.
tingly set out bed of imperfect or
pistillate strawberry plants and been
surprised at picking time that there
was nothing but leaves. The blossoms,
lacking tho fertilizing pollen OF the
stamens, set no fruit. While not so
pronounced, q somewhat similar condi.
ton seems TO prevail In the case OF
varieties Of pome fruits, which nre so
called shy bearers, illustrated In the
case OF the Comlce pear and Spleen
burg apple. It has been found that II
these varieties are set In solid blocks
the blossoms are sparsely fortified,
while IL other freer blossomers are al.
ternated with them In rows the amount
or fruit set is largely increased. A
Rogue river valley ranch owner had
an experience some years ago which
nicely illustrates this point. In his
orchard OF Comice pear trees planted
about twenty years ago there were
scattered a number of Seeding pears
which blossomed freely, but whose
fruit was practically worthless. Hav-
ing this In mind and not realizing the
value OF the Seeding trees as pollen
izers, he had them carefully top graft
ed Tho next season he got little fruit,
and from this on his pear trees were
an improbable proposition, and he
could not see why. After several years
the fact above referred to was brought
to his attention, and Bartlett scions
were topgrafted into a number OF the
Comice trees. From that time on
the ranch has been heavy yielder,
netting its owner for several years
past as high as $1,000 per acre In
the same way Spitzenburg orchards
have been made better money makers
by planting Jonathans or Ortleys as
pollenizers. In setting new orchards
or buying those already set at long
price It is well to keep these facts OF
plant life In mind.

MIGHT LEARN FROM THE SWISS.

MONT LEARN FROM THE SWISS.
A friend who represents one OF the
large American farm implement houses
In Europe. with headquarters ut Zu-
rich, Switzerland. and who naturally
takes a keen interest in the most i'm
proved agricultural methods, cites an
interesting fact showing the value
which the Swiss farmer places on the
homemade fertilizers, which are han
died with such wanton waste In Amer
lea. Our friend asserts that some OF
these farmers take such precaution in
the handling OF manure that they will
not haul 1t on windy days for fear
that a portion OF the nitrogen laden
fumes which are generated by decom-
position and chemical reaction may
be carried away and not absorbed by
the soil, as would be the case were
no air moving. The average Ameri-
can, who makes small account of al
lowing barnyard fertilizers to leach in
the weather and lose half their
strength, will view this Swiss precau-
ton as well nigh ludicrous, yet this
example OF care and thrift is one he
might well begin to emulate.

How to Make a Cat Calendar.

Take a sheet OF water color paper
10 by - inches and some scraps of
black fur or velvet Qur is far more
effective). A little to the left and
above the center of the sheet of paper
glue an oval piece OF the fur about
3 by 21a inches. This is for the body
Of the cat. Add a smaller piece at the
top for the head, attaching two tiny
triangular pieces for the ears. Then
put two small knobs for the feet and
n narrow curving strip for the tail.
Glue in two green beads for the eyes
and n scrap OF red cloth or paper for
the tongue. Paste your calendar in
the lower right hand corner. The
same idea can be carried out In
match scratcher.

How to Perfume tho Breath.

1t is considered bad form to per-
fume the breath so that it can be no
ticed easily, but nothing can be said
against pertaining 1t just enough to
sweeten It. Buy a piece Of orris root
and chew just a small piece Of this.
A Glove placed in the mouth. but not
chewed, will give an odor of carna-
tons to the breath. II the Glove is
chewed it must be swallowed right
away or the odor will become too
strong. 1t is said a bit OF myrrh held
in the cheek will give the breath =
delicately sweet odor.

When the drawing was concluded in
the Cheyenne river and Standing Rock
Indian land allotments at Aberdeen

ana other possessions and gone 10 the
new country, fully expecting 70 draw
one Of the best claims, only to be utter
~ disappointed. 1t is more than likely
that the female who read his hand and
pictured such glowing prospects got
