We are pleased to sec the Parks
vile farmers aiming high. They
say that the man who wins The
Advertisers gold will have to make
more than 100 bushels of corn
That's the way to talk.
Judging from the great number
of guano laden wagons that go out
from Edgefeld every day, there will
be but little, if any, decrease in the
quantity of commercial fertilizers
used in this section 1lis year.
DR.. F. w. P. Butler has been
spending several days in Edgefeld
looking after business matters, and
we were delighted to learn through
him that Gen. Butler is steadily i'm
proving at the sanitarium in Colum-
bia.
Why should any farmer be loath
to enter the corn contest. If he
doesn't win the gold, the large
yield from the pet acre will GER
tainly bring handsome returns for
the labor and money expended. Try
it.

Legislation passed.
The prettiest collection of show
cases ever seen in Edgefeld now
adorn the, store of Messrs. Rives
Bros. The cases are not only very
handsome but they are filled with
new and seasonable merchandise
that can not fail to iattract the eyes
of the ladies.
We wish other farmers would
write timely, practical letters, such
as that by Mr.: B. d. Kitchings
published on our front page. An
exchange of ideas, methods and ex-
periences would be very beneficial
to the farming interests. Our col
umns are open to you, gentlemen.
Hard work, Columbia fare and
Congaree water seem to agree with
Edgefeld's legislators. Senator
Rainsford, Representatives Simkins
and Wells made a weekend visit
to the homefolks and have returned
to remain until final adjournment.
They seem to be standing the wear
and tear of the legislative mill
splendidly.
DR.. J. B. Black came over from
Columbia and spent Sunday and
Monday at the college as the guest
Of Col. and Mrs F. N. K. Bailey.
Mrs. Black also came up from Bam-
berg for a few days. DIR. Black has
been state senator from Bamberg
county for number of years and is
/ very active and useful member of
that body. While in conversation
with the writer, DR.. Black stated
that it is probable that final ad-
iournment of the legislature will
not take place before the close of
the week.

Preserve tho Flavor

Preserve tho Flavor
When preparing any given vegetable
salad, the first care is to preserve the
freshness, the crispncsS and the flavor
To do this put the vegetables or herbs
which you are to use into lcc-water for
at least an hour, then dry them very
carefully with soft towel or cloth, TAX
ing care not 10 bruise them.
They should then be set on the ice
until they are wanted for use, Have
both the service and the individual
plates very cold, and do not pour the
dressing over them until you arc ready
10 serve them. In that way. and that
only, you will have the salad as you
want II
First. tho Dressing
OF course the important feature of the
salad is the dressing, Once the mys-
terry OF this q solved, the whole art of
saladmaking is in your possession. and
you marvel at its simplicity. The dress
ing of the salad should be saturated with
oil. and seasoned with salt and pepper
before the vinegar Is added. 1t results
from this process that there can never
be too much vinegar, for, from the spe-
cihc gravity OF the vinegar compared
with the oil, what is more than useful
will fall to the bottom of the bowl The
salt should not be dissolved in the vine
gar, but Ill the oil, by which means it
is more equally distributed through the
salad"
All this relates to the French dressing.
(which is most often used with the yegc-
table salads. both raw and cooked To
make this dressing. you would use one
saltspoonful OF salt, one-half saltspoon-
ful of pepper. three tcaspoonfuls Of oil,
quarter of tcaspoonful of onion
Juice and one tablespoonful Of vinegar.

Good Toast

Good Toast
By the way, she never insults the
digestion OF her family BY making
toast" over fame, serving it burned
black outside, soft and "waddy' inside.
Instead she uses a gas-toaster or the
oven, and feeds them on slices such
as the heroine always serves-crisp,
brown and tender, a dream in the toast
line
She is person who dares to have two
ways OF doing the same thing, and
chooses the method best adapted to her
time When she comes in, tired and
hurried, she starts the eggs cooking in
cold water, because she knows that by
the time the water boilS the eggs will be
ready to serve, and the table can bc
spread in the meantime. She objects
TO waiting when she is hungry. That
is why she starts the coffee in cold
water also.
Perhaps the very next day she will
reverse the process, and start eggs and
coffee in boiling water, because there
happens TO be boiling water ready, and
just that much time is saved.
