A PILGRIM SONG

Ali little Inn of Sorrow,
What of thy bitter bread?
What of thy ghostly chambers.
So be sheltered?
IT'S but for night. the freight
That gasps on thy cold hearthstone;
Tomorrow my load and the open road
And the far light leading onl
Ali little Inn OF Fortune.
What of thy blazing cheer,
Where glad through the pensive evening
Thy bright doors beclxon clear?
Sweet sleep on thy balsam pillows.
Sweet wine that Will thirst assuage-
But send me forth DER the morning earth
Strong for my pilgrimage!
Ali distant End of the Journey,
What II thou fly my feet?
What II thou fade before me
In splendor and sweetf
Still the mystical city lureth--
The quest is the good knights part
And the pilgrim wends through the end of the
ends
Toward a shrine and Grail in his heart.

Chill con Carne

Chill con carne is simply beef with
peppers. For the foundation select
good lean beef, cut into dice and fry in
a generous quantity of smoking hot
lard. When nearly tender cut fine a
piece of onion and Glove or garlic and
throw it in with the meat. Cook
few moments, add spoonful of -four
cook two or three inmates, then add
as much red chill pepper as desired.
To prepare the chilis remove the
seeds and some of the veins from
dozen, then run through a meat grin
der after cooking until tender If too
thick add a little water, stirring all the
time to prevent burning. Cook a few
minutes longer and it is done. An
other way of cooking chilli con carne is
with tomatoes. Chop into small pieces
one pound of beef, brown it in little
lard, then put in a kettle with two
chopped onions, two chopped potatoes
two ripe tomatoes or one-half can of
tomatoes. To this add three pints wa
ter, salt and a tablespoonful of the
chilli powder. Cook until the meat is
tender, then thicken slightly with a
tablespoonful of flour dissolved in cold
water.

Good Hash

When making hash for supper get it
ready in the morning, about II o'clock,
then move it back on the stove, cover
it up and let it slowly simmer until
the afternoon. Pare and slice fine
about three onions. Pare and cut into
cubes about three potatoes. Put these
on in a deep frying pan, with enough
water to cover them, and set them on
the stove, where they will boil. While
they are cooking cut up into small
pieces cold scraps of meat, about a
small vegetable dish full, rejecting all
gristle and skin. Put this into the po-
tatoes and onions; add half a, can of
tomatoes, pepper and salt and a tea
spoonful of sugar. This hash can be
made in an hour: but, as have said,
the longer you cook it the better it is.
When you are ready to serve it,
sprinkle it with flour several times
from the dredge-box Cthe water should
have mostly cooked away, and put in
about half a cup of milk or milk and
cream, if you have it. This hash is
better if seasoned rather highly with
pepper, and as soon as it boils up
after the milk has been put in it is
ready to serve and can be put on toast,
if desired 1t is very good and you
can use any kind of meat in it-mut-
ton, pork, beef and veal.

where the roots Of plants can get
it instead Of going on to the sur.
face and evaporating. Every
one has seen how moist it is un-
der a board when picked up off
the ground, while all around the
ground is perfectly dry. This
moisture is held by the board
while all around evaporation is
going on as fast as the water can

that will hold this moisture and
the dust mulch formed by shallow
tillage is the best for our pur-
pose because it is the easiest

In brief, then, I would say,
first break your land deep in the
