MOTHER
PROBLEMS

Stuffed peaches are popular
with all peach lovers. Pare the
peaches carefully, halve them and
remove stones. Chop fine an
equal quantity of almonds and
English walnuts. Fill the open
ings from which the stones were
taken with the chopped nuts.
Fasten the halves together with
tiny skewers or wooden tooth
picks, sprinkle four or five table
spoons sugar over them, and set
in saucepan with just enough
water to keep from burning.
Steam 10 minutes, then set away
to cool. Chill thoroughly and
serve cold with sugar and cream.
Hiccoughs in babies, while not
serious, are rather uncomfortable
and distressing. They are caused
by a spasmodic contraction of the
diaphragm. A very simple means
of relief is. to place upon the
tongue few grains of granulated
sugar, which, as they dissolve,
pass slowly down the throat. This
or little hot water given in a
dropper very slowly will cause a
cessation of these paroxysms.

Carrots are said to be excellent
for the complexion, and here is a
good way to prepare them: Wash,
scrape off the skin, cut into dice
and leave in cold water for half an
hour. Put in the inner compart-
ment of a double boiler with no
water upon them except that
which clings to them after wash
ing. Cover closely and cook ten
der. An hour should be leng
enough for this. Turn into a deep
dish, pepper and salt, and cover
with good white sauce. Peas
may be added. and the combination
is delicious. 2 ]

1t is distressing to be broke. If
you don't believe it, ask Andrew Car

to avoid the possibility of dying rich.
But the man who is broke has no
monopoly of the woes of this life. If
you have the millions of a Rockefel-

colleges take your money because it
is tainted. If you are rich widow
like Hettie Green and accumulate a
fortune by saving habits, you can
only contemplate someone waiting for
you to die that they may spend it. Ii
you are a j. Pierpoint Morgan, you
are a plutocrat and an enemy to so
ciety. If you invest your money in
gold bricks you are sucker, and II
you blow it in you are a spendthrift.
If after accommodating fortune you
continue ITO work, you are depriving

be approximately 440 hills to each

wood pulp or the paper made there
from, the papermaking industry will
be transferred from the United
States to Canada. But the announce

company formed there will make com

hope that the ultimate developement
of the use of cotton stalk for this

States to more than supply the home
demand for paper. Experiments have

KEEP IMPROVING YOUR PASTURE


Many farmers think that a piece
of land i'm pasture needs no fertiliza-
ton, but there is no place where it
pays better. Up in the Northerr sec
ton CT this State, not far from Balti-
more, many years ago there were
rough hill land in very poor state,
and too rough for cultivation. They
wire kept in grass and cattle, and
bought i'm Baltimore len spring, thin
cattle, and turned ON the grass. Every
three hundred pounds of raw bone
spring the land was dressed with
meal. This has been kept up for
many years, and now there lis no
land in the country that feeds more
cattle per acre. The grazers are i'm
dependent, and cultivate NO land,
merely buying cattle and putting them
on the grass, and the butchers take
them as needed when ready; and they
lead the life of country gentlemen,
needing little labor except merely for
sailing the cattle and looking after
them and the fencing, and now and
then moving off the rank spots and
scattering the droppings. There is no
part of the farm which pays better
than the pasture if it is kept improv-
ing.-Exchange
