How different would have been the course Of
American history right after the close OF the Civil
War" said Thurlow Weed TO me a year or two be-
fore his death. which occurred in 1882, had we
been able TO accomplish what a good many OF US
thought would be very, wise thing to do at the
time OF the convention in 1864 which nominated
Abraham Lincoln for President"
The famous old Wing and Republican polit-
ical leader paused for an instant and reached out
his hand towards me so that he might feel my
hand. since he was then almost blind.

asked. Did you ever hear him speak, II you did

ABOUT BAKED, BEANS.

Properly prepared. there is scarcely
any dish the good housewife can cook
that SurpaSses pot of baked beans.
this both from the standpoint Of tooth
someness and nutritive quality. But.
for all this, scores Of meSSas of beans
are spoiled before being put into the
oven. This comes through soaking the
beans overnight and throwing away
this water, boiling them up couple
Of times more and doing the same. At
this stage of the game the beans are
just about ready to be dumped out
into the back alley, as all the distinc-
tive flavor and snap they possess have
been soaked out and thrown away. If
the family has been Indifferent to
baked beans in the past try the follow
ing: Soak the beans overnight if old
and hard; if new. bring to Il boil on
top of the stove. add apinch Of soda.
two level teaspoonfuls and Il half Of
salt, sugar to suit, teasncOnful of
muStard-thesc amounts to Il quart OF
dry beans-and beStow the pieces OF
pork so the rind will cook crisp. Put
this combination on in the morning
on baking day and serve in the evening
with brown bread. boiled potatoes and
sliced onions. and you have a dish fit
for king.

AN EGG LAYING CONTEST.

Beginning on the first day Of next
November and continuing for Il year,
there will be he'd at the Missouri
state poultry farm at Mountain Grove,
Il national egg laying contest. The ex-
penses will be met by state funds and
the contest will be held under the di-
rection Of the secretary of the Mis-
souri, poultry board, 7. T. Quiscnberry,
who will be assisted by poultry ex-
perts from the Kansas, Iowa, Indiana.
Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota state
agricultural colleges. Those in charge
expect the data gathered to be of great
practical value to poultry ra,sers and
the poultry business generally. The
question Of economy in housing and
feeding, the fCCd value of certain
diets, methods Of increasing egg yields
and the differences in profit between
egg yields and the differences in profit
pens that make the highest records
an; those that make q poorer show
ins.. will be carefully studied and de-
tcr:lined. Prizes Will be given month
ly TO the pen which makes the best
showing in egg production, to the pen
which lays the greatest weight Of eggs,
and to the individual hens that lay the
greatest number Of eggs each month
and for the year. The hens will also
be tested fer fertility and hatchability
Of eggs ana vigor and vitality of
chicks hatched thcrefrom. More than
$50 applications have been received
from poultrymen i'll twenty-five states,
and doubtless many more entries will
be made before the contest starts.
Practically all Of the we'll known lay
ing breeds will he represented in the
contest, and the announcement Of the
best laying breed at the close Of the
test will be awaited with keen in
terest.

A CHIGGER CURE.

DR.. Crumbine, one time secretary Of
the Kansas board Of health, got hold
Of a chigger remedy from Il Texan 4
number of years ago and made it pub
lie. 1t is simple, as follows: Take
a few ounces CT Lyposulphite of soda,
which retails for about 10 cents a
pound ut any drug store, and make a
saturated solution in small quantity
Of water-that is, dissolve in the water
all it will hold Noisten or bathe
spots where chiggers have burrowed.
The solution apparently penetrates to
them and kills them. The solution has
no harmful effect aside from causing
Il slight smarting on parts which have
been scratched or irritated. The solu-
ton will not only relieve chisger bites,
but applied to tie skin and allowed TO
dry will prevent them from working
for day or two.

TIE coy AND TIE STATE FAIR.

TIE BOY AND TIE STATE FAIR.
If the boy has shown. evidence of a
lack Of interest in the farm operations
and there is reason to believe that the
farm work is sort of pailing Oh him
it would be Il pretty good idea to fake
q couple Of days off and so with him
to the big state fair. After he has
seen the blue ribbon horses, cattle,
hogs and sheep, the poultry, the latest
machinery, products Of the field i'll the
shape of flower and fruit and grain
the chances are that the agricultural
profession will advance several
notches il his esteem. However, to
be most effective such visit should
be followed up by an attempt on the
part of this boys father to put some
of the better methods into practice on
the. home farm and possibly to under
take the raising of some kind Of pure
bred stock, giving the boy an interest
II. the enterprise. Such Il course us
the above we believe would make over
literally hundreds of farm boys who
find country life prosy and uninterest-
ing and who are already beginning to
gaze with longing eyes toward the
cities with their brilliant lights, va
riety and attractivcneSs.
