The sale that grows greater year after year
must have merit. Started quarter century since
with the view of making busy month OF the
dullest month. Manufacturers and importers are
willing to sell at much less than their usual prices
during August-and we are content with half our
usual profits. The housekeepers of Washington
have learned the facts-and SO this annual sale
has grown greater and greater. Tomorrow be-
gins the last week of the greatest sale OF all years.

During the fruit season there are

cause the recipes could not be found
or are completely forgotten. Here is
a nice confection which may be easily
made and which is very dainty:
Tomato Figs.-Take six pounds of
tomatoes and three pounds of gran
ulated sugar: select small yellow or
red tomatoes; put them in a colan-
der and plunge into boiling water for
half minute. remove the skins care
fully. not to break the tomatoes.
Cover the bottom of a porcelain-lined
kettle with a portion of the sugar,
put in layer of the tomatoes, the re-
mainder of the sugar and another
layer of tomatoes. Cook slowly until
the sugar has penetrated the center of
the tomatoes; lift carefully with a
large fork and spread the tomatoes
carefully on granite plates and let
them dry in the sun, bringing them in

are better informed on mechanics, gas
oline engines and the like than the
average city man who applies for a
license. There is another view held
by many city people which is wrong,
and that is that the farmer will be
content with a small horsepower mo-
tor car, says a writer in Baltimore
American. AS a matter of fact, when
farmer gets car he wants it so con-
structed that he can use it for pleas
ure and for business, and that is the
reason that they generally want their
cars to have 40 horsepower or bet
ter. Time and help are the two things
now at a premium on the Ohio farm,
and, as an auto saves both, there is an
increasing interest in the subject |
feel certain that the present fall and
spring will be by far the best selling
time for farm autos ever seen.

Cows Are Not SoiIed TO Amy
Great Extent but Pasture Is
Depended Upon for Entire
Summer Feed.

In England cows are not soiled to
any great extent but pasture Is de-
pended upon for the entire summer
feed. They say over there that 1t
takes two acres to keep a cow going
as she should.
Early in August the COWS are turned
on the aftermath OF the meadows and
later changed back and forth between
the pastures and the meadow.
When taken off the pastures in late
summer the COWS are fed little cot
ton seed cake but they do not get
much grain at any time.
In the winter they are fed roots
40 to 70 pounds per day, about Ii
pounds Of straw, half as much hay
and about eight pounds of meal and
oil cake mixed.
The barn yards are paved with cob
BILE stones to keep the cows out OF the
mud and the manure is saved I'M

There are very few creameries in

COMFORT FOR
FARM STOCK
Should Be Fed at Regular Times
and Never Roughly Handled
by Being Chased by Dog
or Left In Cold.

(By A. D. WILSON University Farm, ST.
Paul, Minn)
One of our good dairy farmers, liV'
ing in Carlton county, who is also
Farmers Institute lecturer, Mr.. F. b.
McLeran, in talking on Care OF
Dairy Cattle" always emphasizes the
Importance Of making the stock COM
Portable. He says that If they are
made uncomfortable by being fed at
irregular times, so that they spend a
great deal Of their time expecting to
be fed, the discomfort shows in lower
production. II they are made un-
comfortable by having poor bed, by
being roughly handled, by having a
dog set on them, or by being left out
in the cold or allowed to go thirsty,
these conditions result in decreased
production. He emphasizes the fact
that one of the great advantages OF
weighing the milk every day, from
each COW, is that it gives one a quick
check on any condition that brings
about discomfort to his animals. If
any COW shows a dropping off of her
MIX HOW, as TuI6 llLIie OuSSI va
ton VIII show that she has been made
uncomfortable in some of the ways
mentioned above; and, knowing these
facts, the farmer is able to check
these unfavorable conditions quickly.
One of the points that Mr.. McLeran
especially emphasizes is the import
ance of not allowing the COWS to st0y
out in the winter when they are I'M
comfortable. He states that good
way to determine this is to take off
your coat and go out in the yard with
the COWS, stand around and act just
as the cows do. When you begin to
feel uncomfortable and feel like going
into the house. put the cows in the
barn.

The ChiIdren's Sunday.
Salmon.

To many parents, what to do with
the children to keep them happy on
Sunday, is a problem. 1t should be
the day of all the week most enjoyed;
but much depends on how Sunday is
observed whether the child looks for
ward to the day with Joy or dread.
Children in the home mean self-sac'
rifice on the part of the parents. but
aren't they worth it? After the usual
church services are attended, and by
the-way, the wise parents OF today
take all their children to church as
soon as the mother is able to go with
them. A child thus reared will be-
long in the church and never have to
be urged to go. One has to remem-
Der that children are without judg-
ment, and their little wants must be
met. A cooky and a pencil will often
he all that is necessary for its con-
tentment.
Let the children have an hour with
Won of their own on Sunday after
noon: 1t may mean the giving up OF
nan or a call, but keep the time for
them. Talk over things that have
troubled, then read some interesting
book closed the previous week at
most interesting point, and keep the
book Just for Sunday reading.
Let the children have some games
and toys kept only for use on Sun
day. A Noahs ark may be an unend-
ing source of amusement; talks on
the different animals, their homes and
habits. teach geography and nature
study. Let them use pencil and paper
with Bible names to make words, or
teach them to spell their names with
Bible verses. These may be memoir
lied.
Very young children show in short
time the general knowledge gained
by the thoughtful companionship OF
parents. There are several Bible
games suitable for different ages that
NAV be used occasionally to vary the
program.
Another way to interest children Is
to allow one to suggest what to have
for the Sunday supper, and let them
all have a hand in getting it ready.
These suggestions may be varied to
suit individual needs, and parents
with little thought can originate
countless helpful ways of spending
the Sabbath as it should be spent. in
quiet and with reverence.

pose better and would make very ser
viceable animals in other respects in
helping to attend to large flocks. The
best protection against wolves for the
focks, however, would be wolf-tight
woven wire fence, with barb wires
stretched at the top so as to prevent
the wolves from getting over and into
the sheep pastures. Such a fence
must also be built close to the ground
to present the wolves from digging
their way through underneath. A barb
wire stretched tightly along the
ground line will be very serviceable
In this respect. The woven wire fence
should be at least as high as any
farm fence ordinarily in use is. and
pieces Of 2x4's should be naileo or

six lemons and boil this rind for two
hours, changing the water two or
three times. Chop the rind, add it
to the juice of the oranges and lem
ons; mix it with the pumpkin and
cook slowly three hours. Put in
glasses and keep in a dark place.
Candy for a yellow luncheon may
be colored with saffron. Small pat
ties of fondant may be colored, then
drop with a teaspoon on a buttered
paper. Another attractive way OF
serving ice cream is in the spun
sugar nests, any color may be used
These nests may be made at home
after a little practise, but they may
be purchased at five cents each from
the confectioner.

Helpful Hints.


Use salt and sour milk to clear
brasses.
Remnants OF fat, either cooked or
uncooked should always be saved
fried out and clarified If necessary.
Carpets are greatly freshened by
washing with water in which table,
spoonful of ammonia is added to six
quarts OF water After a thorough
sweeping wipe with a cloth wrung az

To keep Clipped ice in the sick

ly covered. See that the bag Is high
enough to be out of the water, as the
ice melts and ice will last nearly all
night.
Try putting the pumpkin Through
the meat chopper before cooking. 1t
is easily done and it needs little water
to cook and in a short time Is tender.
If put in the oven to stew 1t need not
be watched as carefully as If cooked
on top of the stove.
Before removing the ribbon from
underwear. sew a piece OF tape to the
end of ribbon. then draw the ribbon
out of the garment from the opposite
end, which will draw the tape in, then
the ribbon may be removed from the
tape. and when the garment is washed
the ribbon may be quickly put back
in the same manner, as the tape is
left in during the washing.
