Good Crops Above Edgefield.

MI. Robert Stro1n and Miss Mar.
Gle Lewis spent Friday in
Edgefeld, and as his wont when he
comes 10 town, Mr.. Strom called at
The Advertiser Office. While in
conversation with the writer Mr..
Strom remarked that the crops
north of Edgefeld as far as Mr..
Bolton Pardue's are better, taking
them as a whole, than he has ever
seen in that section before at this
season of the year. With favorable
seasons from now till harvest time,
MI. Strom thinks farmers will be
satisfied with the yield.

~ HERE are three main reasons
for cooking-viZ, III to develop
favors and make foods more
palatable, o. to make some
foods more digestible and 81 to kill
germs. AS rule. simple methods for
preparing foods are preferable because
they preserve the original flavor. Veg
etables, which will form the principal
subject of this article, are better when
cooked simply without the accompani-
ment of other ingredients.
In cooking any food the first great
essential to success is to be accurate
in method. Accuracy in measuring
and combining ingredients with a
knowledge of the effect of heat on diff
ferent food materials, combined with
interest In the task, can almost always
be relied upon to insure a successful
finished product. Indeed, it can be
safely stated that there is no such
thing az luck in cooking Success de-
Ponds upon a knowledge Of certain
physical and chemical phenomena
which always occur under certain con-
ditions. 1t Is ignorance of or lack of
attention to these underlying principles
which results in so many unsatisfactory
and indigestible dishes being served on
our tables.
Composition of Vegetables.
There are variety of food mate
rails which cannot be classed as nutri-
tious, and yet they have a distinct
value In the diet For instance, fresh
fruit and vegetables are not especially
nourishing as far as making blood and
muscle and giving heat and energy are
concerned. but both should be given an
important place in the daily bill of

The objects of rhe institution, as

CARAVAN BREADMAKlNG
Afghans Use CobbIestones. While Tur-
comans Like Sand.


The bread of the Afghan caravan
was cooked by heating small round
cobhlest0nes in the fire and then pok.
Ing them out and wrapping dough an
inch thick about them. The balls thus
formed were again thrown into the
fire. to be poked out again when cook
ed. The bread tasted well there in the

ties the grit and ashes would have
seemed uncomfortable
After good fellowship had been es-
tablshed the Afghans actually sold us

of persons have visited the great build

the contributions of science which
have been gathered under its auspices,
few understand the real relation of the
institution to the national government
Most persons believe that it is part

Inc Smithsonian institution. says the
Washington Times. occupies a peculiar
relation to this government 1t is a
part of it. and yet it is not a part Its
moneys are in the United States treas
ury and can be used only on appro-
priation by congress. and yet this
money does not belong to the govern
ment 1t is 10 the government only
as the money of a ward is to a guard
ian.
James Smithson who contributed
the bulk of the fund in the hands of
the institution. was an Englishman,
the SOD of peer Of the realm. He
was a man who could trace his ances-
try back to royal blood. He never Wis
tied in America and was never known
to have any particular Partially for
America until he wrote his will in
1926. He died at Genoa in 1929, and
when they opened his will this is what
they read:
Il bequeathed the whole of my prop

name Of the Smithsonian institution,
an establishment for the increase and
diffusion of knowledge among men"
This property amounted to about
100000, which was in that day a

Immediately there arose in America
all kinds Of opposition to the accept
ance of the money John c. Calhoun
and William G. Preston urged with
all the fire of their eloquence that it
was beneath the dignity of this gov
eminent to accept such a gift But
John Quincy Adams and others pre-
vailed and Richard Rush was sent to
England to prosecute the claim of this
government
He was successful. and on Sept l,
1888, the money was delivered at the
mint in Philadelphia in the shape of
104,960 gold sovereigns. which were
minted into S50S, 3lS.46 in American
money.
This sum by careful management
and by additions from other charitably
inclined persons has now become about
$1,000,O00, which the government keeps

In the following language Sir Henry

African expeditions: THE leviathan
bears down on us with racing speed,
Its consorts on either flank squirting
the water into foam and shooting up
jets with their sharp prows. A thrill
ing chant from 1900 threats rises
louder and louder on our hearing.
Presently the poised spears are
launched, and second later my rifles
respond with ripping. cracking ex-
plosion, and the dark bodies of the ca
noes and paddlers rush past US.
For short time the savages are
paralyzed, but they soon recover. They
ind there is death In those flaming
tubes In the hands Of the strangers,
and with possibly greater energy than
they advanced they retreat. the pur-
sued becoming the pursuers in hot
chase. My blood is up. 1t is a MUIR

hate the filthy, vulturous shoals who
inhabit It

With frantic haste ! fire their huts
and end the scene by towing their ca
