The FireIeSS Cooker

Dear Mrs FELTON,: A short while ago you
asked some hOusekeeper to write and explain
the use OF the flreless cooker. have used one
all summer and IT is a most excellent servant.
1t not only saves wood, time, work, worry,
but the vegetables feally taste better.
MY little cooker has only one compartment
but have a pan that fits down into the cooker
rim Of the vessel. | have often cooked corn IN
the pan and boiled the pot underneath In the
vessel proper Or / sometimes put rice or Irish
potatoes in the top and peas, beans. greens,
etc, at the bottom. gather and prepare my
vegetables the afternoon before Just before
going TO breakfast l replenish the fire In tn
stove and put on the two vessels separately and
make my bread. After breakfast place the
stesming hot pan into the steaming bot vessel,
adjust the lid tightly take up the whole thing.
drop it into the heat retainer, aud close up
tightly immediately: When L have cleaned

OF course, after / ring the farm bell for din
ner turn to my cooker and begin taking up"
The table and dinner is all arranged In Is
minutes more
As to canning, that be done in a square
steamer without standing the heat at all.
Take the fruit the back porch, peel, pare
and pack into the jars, cover with water
sweetened with sugar. Sixteen quart Jars can
be steamed at one time in the steamer over a

The Cotton Situation

Where there have been occasional
showers to keep the cotton weed vigor-
Gus, there has rarely been seen a bet
ter cotton crop in Georgia. gentle
man living in Meriwether county told
me a few days ago mat there had
never been a better cotton crop in that
section.
But it is not the case in the major
ity of farming sections. The fall sea-
son, September particularly, has been
exceedingly hot and dry. The cotton
weed has been cooked by the heat. The
late bolls have been denied sufficient
nourishment and are small and imma-
ture.
Whatever the cotton report may be,
as furnished by the United States
government, the fact remains that the
cott IN crop is short. The present price
The price of cotton seed two weeks
ago was very good, nearly so cents
bushel but the bears are hammerlng
on the price or short seed crop as well
as the price of a short cotton crop
They contrive to catch the FARMER
both coming and going.
1t is my opinion that our farmers,
wherever it is possible to do so,
should hold both cotton and seed until
this short crop is gathered. In my opin-
ion every boil of cotton worth picking
will be open and out during the pres
ent month of October. My opinion may
be worth very little, but that is my
view of the situation as it now ap-
peals to me.

Great Is MammOn

When ] consider the brevity of life, and
the certainty of death, ! am puzzled to know
why this country should be so absorbed in tn;
worship Of mammon. l am not talking about
the love OF money now, or the fatuous devo-
ton TO the making Of more money. but the at.
tention that is given to people who have NJ
other credentials for such attention, save the
ownerships of large wealth.
This mornings daily paper has full length
portraits of Miss Gould-Jay Gould's grand
daughter, and young DreXel, the scion of
rich Philadelphia millionaire.
Neither one OF these young people have evel
done anything worthy Of the advertising they
are getting, and their sole claim to public no
tice lies in the fact that two money-bags have
been placed in q larger money-bag-and be-
hold! they are become people OF such cOnse-
quence that they must be pictured and wit.

They are only interesting because they have

Two very commonplace young people they
would hardly be noticed in the society column

To REGULATE Sex

For years the scientists have been trying
TO discover the law that regulates sex. I'm
doubtedly the discovery would be great
boon to poultry keepers. To have the farm
over-run with cockerels when early puliets
are wanted is annoying, and 1t is not surpris-
ing that any system purporting 10 regulate
the sex Is eagerly tried by breeders We
have heard II claimed that the pointed eggs
Matched bullets and the round ones cockerels.
and then again the opposite is claimed Others
claim that the location Of the air cell Is
the determining factor, and again that II -
nourished eggs producing males. Some breed
ers depend upon their matings. believing that
cockerels mated with hens will produce pre-
pouderauce Of females and that cock mated
with pullets. will produce a preponderance Of
males In spite Of all the theories that have
been advanced, the law that controls sex has
vet to be discovered.

An Auto-H oIocauSt-0ver the
Vanderbilt Gun

The awful fatalities which attended
the racing for Mr.. Vanderbuts trophy
cup should be quite enough to call for
legal check on such destruction OF hu-
man life.
II is a wiIlful-wanton destruction!
There is not a daily paper that reaches
my home which does not chronicle fun
CHAPTER of such horrible accidents.
Today's Journal tells of an accident
yesterday in Atlanta where two ma
chimes collided with such violence
that lady was hurled from the one
in which she was sitting into the one
that struck her.
Death and destruction seem to attend
these mad racing autos, everywhere
Somebody has been killed somewhere
every day. and many times per day.
Undoubtedly autos have come here to
stay. They fill a long felt want-a
horseless machine.
But the fact is patent that the methods
used in running these autos are all
wrong: the speed limit has been fixed
in large cities, but nobody regards the
limit. AS soon as the way seems to be
cleared the mad rush begins. Then
railroad train or a trolley car, or another
auto turns up at the wrong time and the
horror is consummated and the mad rush
ends in a funeral, sometimes many
funerals
If ii was only the rash ones who mea
the terrible end it would be of less I'M
portance to the public, but the destruc-
ton clutches at those who have con-
fided their lives and safety to wild, rash
and imprudent chauffeurs.
1t grows out of the thirst for racing
that seems to be as infatuating as an
appetite for gaming. The task may be
exceedingly difficult-slow in action-with
relief long delayed, but 1t is evident that
these accidents and horrors will grow
anC increase so long as these auto drivers
go unpublished, after they are caught
in disobedience to legal requirements.

Gould you depend on your MANI"
queried the reporter.
The picture you saw is the answer
to that" replied Mr.. Howe. "Of
course, in moments of crisis the
photography depends on the photo
grapher's impulses. !"
""You mean that the ruling pas
sion is strong In death when that
passion is motion photography just
as if it was some other. "
4 Exactly So" said Mr.. Howe,
"'most of my photographers think
more of their cameras than their
lives. OF course, rot all will act
the same. In periods of great excite
ment a man is likely to do one of
three things. He will stand facing
the danger, but inert and with para
lyzed faculties; he will lose his grip
on his mind until great fear seizes
him, which, in crowd means panic /;
or else he will face the crisis with
faculties excited to abnormal acute
ness. ! knew my man belonged to
the last-named class. A dangerous
assignment was natural for him, be-
cause he had covered so many"
"What happened?" asked the re-
porter.
Just what you saw. After photo
graphing the scenes of huge volumes
of vapor and flame, he fingered until
the afternoon. Suddenly there was
a crash like a thunder clap. The
earth seemed to split open and
burst upward. Then he secured the
thrilling scenes which show showers
of stones and clouds of dense smoke
whirled upward from the crater
and shot hundreds of feet in the
air-and the fiery stream of red
hot lava, licked by tongues of fame
rolling down the mountain just as
the picture shows"
This same picture will be shown
by Mr.. Howe at the Colonial Thea
ire tonight, together with many
others, such as the Kings funeral in
London and Windsor; the fords of
Norway; a Japanese jubilee; fearless
Italian artillery msnouvers; through
the Alps in winter; life on training
ship; a ride up the Eiffel Tower. etc

"How did you ever manage to get
that picture?" asked the reporter OF
LYMAN H. Howe, referring TO a pic
torial reproduction of the eruption
of Mt. Etna.
"It's what might be called an acci-
dental picture- the kind / value most
because that kind is the most won
derful." said Mr.. Gowe.
"Are such pictures Dumerous?' in
quired the reporter.
"No. unfortunately for me, but
fortunately for my photographers,
said MIR. Howe.
Supreme moments of conYulsive
nature such as this also mean mo-
ments of supreme danger and often
crippled photographer-or casualty
or two. In the life of the motion
photographer it is the unexpected
that often happens just as in other
yocations, and when this picture was
taken it was the unexpected that hap
pened as you see.
But how ala you anticipate Ihat
anything would happen at all? Why
did you expect that the volcano would
become active at just the time your
photographer was therefor such
eruptions do not take place on any
scheduled timer" was the next query
from the reporter.
Now, young mar, you're seeking
inside information. but since you
have asked that question l will an
swer it. The reason that the photo
grapher was there at all lies deeper
than mere accident. Forone thing,
the editors definition of good news

photographers. "a successful edi-

where trouble is going to break loose
next and has a man there to cover
