A BREEZY LETTER FROM READY.

Dear Editor: I thank you. I was very much surprised to receive the check for s1, third prize for July. I deem it an honor to be on the list with the prize winners.
 1 think all the sisters and brothers, as well. write from an unseIish point of view. I think the unselfishness on the part of the members has helped make the Social Corner q success. The members ought to feel proud of the success of their united efforts.
 I shall be pleased to read the Social Corner song. I was going to apologize for asking for the song when I read we were to have one. Please accept my thanks.
 Dear Sisters: How are you all, this lovely Monday morning. I have been up since four o'clock; my washing is dinner time. l like to get the wash ing done just as soon as I can. I do not have big wash
 Dear Sister M. Roena: Did you en- joy that lovely sunset last evening ? I did: and I called the familys atten- tion to it and while looking at it. spoke of you and wondered how many of the Social Corner members were looking at it, too. We all have our lonely hours and it is good thing for us, we can turn to nature and nature S God-our God and Friend and Com forter
 Dear Sister Faye Verna: I am one of your warm admirers. I think you are gentle, mild and kind-to say I admire the spirit in which you gave up going to Atlantic City, just because your husband could not go with you will bring it's own reward. I will say I had rather see husband and his wife enjoy their pleasures together then see them going in opposite direc- tions
 Rural Delivery: I always feel for those who have in any way received an injury. I think the violin nice, and it is SO good with the piano. I have a lady friend who plays the cornet very nicely.
 My letter is so long I must close.
 READY.

WHAT CAN BE YOURS!

Sisters of the Social Corner: Economy heat, time can be yours. Buy a thick end of beef flank if you can-the thin end if you must. In case the latter pull top part off, re- move the tough skin in center, place small bits of fat on the lower half, pepper and salt; put other part on this and roll up in the skin. Pot slow ly in very little water. I tie mine with strong string, removing string when partly cold.
 By placing open-wire pie-tin on top kettle under cover, potatoes will cook by the steam.
 A lamp stove does the business nice- Iy.
 The thin end of flank is not much over half in price only more work
 Thank you sister for knitted lace pattern. J. D. T.

 Plum Preserves your plums, scald them, put on dish or waiter, be sure to strain weigh as much sugar, as fruit, and to every pound add a gill of water, let sugar boil, skim, add scalded fruit, cook two hours and a half: put in air-tight jars.

 white of egg to make it stiff. Bake in a very hot oven or they will run to- gether.
 Raisin Pie-One cup of chopped raisins, one and one-half cups of sugar, two cups of hot water. one and one half cups of vinegar. five tablespoons of flour. butter size of walnut, cook until thick. Add four drops of vanilla. This makes two pies.

A SUGGESTION FROM THE
 DREAMER.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Shall we all join hands and sing "Ring-a- eund-a-rosey," with Rural Delivery and MT. Bromley in the ring.
 We ought to be very proud of our Corner, which can boast of a poet in Delivery.
 Faye Verna: You are not the only person, who decided to put aside a summer pleasure trip because all the family could not go.
 A visit to dear old Connecticut has always been my annual summer vaca- ton.
 To decide not to take the trip re- ing Glory wrote-it does look most selfish for wife to flee from husband and home every summer with the youngsters, leaving behind a lonely father and husband who must board or live in an almost empty home. haven't cool porch and lovely trees some of NJ.

 It is something to. have the dear Cor : ner letters every week. They make me feel so contented and cheerful shall dream l am as near to Nature and Mother Earth, right here in the hot city, as if I were in the country.
 It has been hot in New England the papers say-but here it was hot, hotter, hottest.
 Sisters, be thankful you are permit ted to live in the country or quiet towns and send me some cool breezes in the newt heart to heart talks.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Now is the time to develop bullets for early layers. To develop for layers they should be fed differently than cockerels for market
 large percentage of bullets are in- jured for producing eggs by improper best. If they are overfed the food is wasted and the digestive organs are weakened. When the food is mostly corn the growing bullet must eat large quantities of it to get enough of the small percentage of muscle-forming material which it contains. Corn should be fed little both in summer and winter. as the growing bullet may

The little cares that fretted me l lost them yesterday Among the fields above the sea Among the winds at play, Among the lowing of the herds, The rustling of the trees, e- Among the singing of the birds, The humming of the bees. 70 The foolish fears of what may happen, I cast them, all away Among the clover-scented grass, Among the new-mown hay,74 Among the husking of the corn Where drowsy peoples nod Where i'll thoughts die and good are

RECIPES FROM WILD CHERRY.

Editor Social Corner: Will you kindly permit me a little space with the sisters in the Corner. have been following the Social Corner sisters with much Interest especially the nice recipes, many of which I have tried and found all right
 know just how delicious L. H. K. s huckleberry co bier is. for my mother used to make them years ago (also the Johnny cake and griddle- cakes), with berries gathered in the pastures of Canterbury; and it brings to my mind the happy days, when free from care, brother and sisters roamed the fields and pastures to gather the berries for mother, driving the oxen to the yard for father.
 Faye Verna would have seen plenty white birches and oxen had she lived in Canterbury.
 Have any of the sisters ever tried cooking string beans ard peas togeth- CT. Boil the beans until nearly done, then put in the peas and cook until done. allowing the water to boil down. When done turn off the water and pour cream over them. Delicious-fit for king.
 Here is a receipt for Canning Beets One cup of water, one cup of vine gar, two tablespoons of sugar, let boil put in the sliced beets, let become hot, put. in jars and seal. Will keep a year.

 [The poem entitled 'The Hermit, by the Scotch poet. Jas. Beattie, be- gins:
 Al the close of the day when the hamlet is still, etc. It was written in the 17th century. and is rich in fine sentiment; and it closes thus: See truth, love and mercy in triumph descending. and nature all glowing in natures c first bloom.

CAMPBELL WINNER
Of FINE HORSE
TROPHY
Judging Was Done by Prof.

The judging of the horses was
nearly completed last night by Prof.
Curtis Of Ames. In the Percheron
class, D. F.. Mcdonald Of Langdon, T.
D. Tice and Sons of Pella, Ia, and
Jake Nicholson of Wimbledon were
the chief winners. Among the Clydes-
dales. Donald Campbell of Hannaford
was the big winner. e. Toussaint and
company of this city and Frank Fitz-
morris of Pekin divided honors in
the Belgian class.
The beautiful silver cup offered By
the Minneapolis Commercial club for
the best display Of draft horses raised
in North or South Dakota Of Minne-

Flint corn and Canadian field peas.
The alfalfa used is Grimm's and the
clover Medium Red. Samples of all
these grains on the stalk are in the
exhibit at the fair, also samples Of
flax, N. D. Station No. l55
The exhibit from the Mcleod farm
is Of especial interest as that farm
is located in the heart of the sand
hills in Ransom county. The prob
lens to be met there are difficult
ones on account Of the sand. The
demonstration farm there is working
out the best methods of handling the
land in that section and trying to
find the best crops to grow. The Cam
adian field peas from that place are
especially fine, although the whole
Mcleod exhibit is so good that it is
hard to single out any one sample.
Needless to say the good crops on
the Mcleod farm were not obtained
by any easy method of farming but
by hard work. The exhibit is worthy
of study.
The exhibit from the Dolve farm at
Portland Junction is very fine one.
The alfalfa, first and second cuttings
and this springs seeding from Hoople
and the clover from Bathgate are al
SO much above the average.
In the same booth with the agri-
cultural college exhibit is found the
yields of the demonstration farms
shown graphically and the moisture
chart for 1910 The yields for 1903
are compared with those of 1910 and
the moisture chart explains very viv-
idly the great difference in yield be-
tween the two years. The yields for
the farms and the average for the
state in 1909 and 1910 are compared
and the result in favor of the demon
stration farms is very marked.
To all who are interested in the i'm
provement of methods of farming in
the state, this exhibit is worthy OF
your attention and study. Lack OF
space in the building prevented a
greater display, but it is only part OF
one of the best fairs that North Da.
kota has ever had and, in fact, the
best.

THE DEMONSTRATION
FARM EXHIBITS
EXCELLENT
State Department of Agricul.
ture Has Fine Display at
State Fair

Attention is called to the work of
the state demonstration farms by
their exhibit at the state fair this
week. This exhibit is in the left
wing Of the liberal arts building in
the north end. Eleven of the farms
sent exhibits but on account Of the
lack Of space only eight farms could
be included In the display.
There are twenty-four demonstra-
ton farms scattered over the state
and eight whose products are found
in the exhibit this week are those
operated by Alex. Morrison. Bath
gate, N. D., Allen Hoople, Hoople; o.
n. Dolve. Portland Junction; Eilif
Lavik, Rugby: Thomas McCreary,
Darlington: j. F. Jaberg, Sanborn;
Eastgato Bros, I.arimore and the
Mcleod Demonstration farm at Nc
Leod, Th. T. Kristjanson, manager.
The aim OF these farms is to DEM
onstrate how good methods of farm
Ing. rotation and the use Of pure bred
seed will increase the yields and
keep up the fertility of the farm. The
value OF using manure and the
legumes such as clover, alfalfa and
peas Is also part of the demonstra-
ton and this means the raising Of
more live stock to consume the
clover, alfalfa and pea hay and fur
nish the manure which with the
legumes keeps up the plant food in
the soil. II the demonstration farms
only succeed in increasing the num-
Der Of live stock in the state. they will
have many times more than paid for
themselves to the citizens of this
state. The business of the state will
never be on real stable footing un-
til the live stock population is very
much increased. When we have more
plant food in the soil by the use Of
manure and the legumes and have
the cattle to carry US through the
dry seasons, the dry seasons such as
we have had for the past two years
will not have terrors for US that we
find in them now and business will
not be hung up until We see what
the crop is going to be. When plant
food is in easily available form for
the plants. 1t will take less water
to make the seasons growth. The
demonstration farms are showing
how the water in the soil may be con-
served from year to year.
The pure bred grain grown on the
demonstration farms are as follows:
Minnesota No. 1863 Blue Stem wheat,
Minnesota No. 163 Fife wheat, Tur-
key Red winter wheat. Arnautka mac
