FOR cANnIED ORANGE PEEL.
DeIIcacy That May Very Easily BE
Made at Home.


This is so nice to use with mince
meat or in fruit puddings, and it can
be made at home so reasonably tina
it will pay the housewife if she has.
time to prepare it now. Cut oranges
in half and scoop out all the pulp.
or if the rinds of peeled oranges are
to be used, keep in as good shape
ais possible. Put the rinds into a
basin, cover with lightly salted water,
and let them soak for a week. At
the end of that time drain and put in
to a stew pan containing thin sirup
made with two pounds of sugar to
every two quarts of water. Boil half
an hour. In another sauce pan have
a sirup made from two pounds OF
sugar and cup Of water, and cook
over the fire until thick sirup. Put
the rinds into this thick sirup and
cook until the sugar candies on them.
Take out, put on sieve laid on q
platter to save ali the sirup that
might drip, and dry in coolish oven.
When quite dry put in wide mouthed
bottles or glass cans and fasten So
curely.

SAVE THE POTATO WATER.
Much Of Most Nutritious Part Of vege-
table is in It.

The water in which pared potatoes
have been boiled should never be
wasted, as it contains much Of the
most nutritious part Of the potato, but
it is usually thrown away, except
when used for bread. To make q
delicious, wholesome gravy when
milk is scarce lift out the potatoes
carefully with fork, setting the dish
in the oven to dry the potatoes and
keep them warm. Thicken the potato
water with -four and season with salt
and butter. For a savory, nourishing
soup. mash few potatoes and put
them back into the water in which
they were boiled, season with onion,
celery salt, or the water in which
celery tops have been boiled, and add
cream or milk and butter. This is one
Of the most palatable and economical
soups that can be made. II the soup
is not wanted Immediately the potato
water can be saved for the next meal
or until the next day, or the soup can
be made at once, as it is equally good
warmed up for lateral meal.

short distance from Leeds, at noon

gineer, saw the accident, but was un-

been averted. The engine struck the
wagon at the front wheel. tearing the
horses from it. hurting them to the
further side of the track. Mr.. Knut-
son who was in the front end of the
wagon just where It was struck, was
hurled fully hundreu feet, his head
striking one Of the rails OF the in

The engineer stopped the train as
soon as possible, and it was found that
the front axle was right under the

Must Perfect Methods

'The producing quality Of the

has been constantly sown to wheat
for thirty years, is becoming impov-

perfect new methods of farming be-
fore the northwestern states can move
forward at the same speed of the pre-
vious decade.
Il have often been criticized for
spending money to import live stock
with which to improve the breed in
northwestern cattle, but believe the
farmers are beginning to see the ad-
vantages of that procedure. A friend
of mine from Meeker county was in
a couple Of days ago. He said that
county would have a million bushels
of wheat for sale this year. That
may be true, but the thirty-one or
thirty-two creameries in that coun-
ty will bring in more money. The
milk sold to the creameries means
only part of the earnings Of cattle.
The SKINNED milk is fed to pigs and
other live stock, which is always In
creasing in value. And it is also
true that any feed given to stock re-
turns one-third of it's val&e to the
land as fertilizer.
