HOW TO MAKE SALADS
STANDARD KINDS OF POTATOES
AND OTHER VEGETABLES.
6onbon, Hazlenut and Sweetbread
Salads Are More Unusual, but
Are Not Very Difficult
to Mix.

Vegetable Sslads.-While the many
excellent cook books on the market
give various good recipes for salads,
1t is from the real cooks themselves
that We get the gems. The unusual
salads are, as a rule, rather eX-
pensiye luxury for everyday use, the
fish salads and meat salads are
fairly well known, the vegetable
salads are also becoming well
known, such as asparagus. cauli-
flower and the macedonia of vege-
tables. TIE ever welcome potato sal
ad is always standby for the young
housekeeper in making up her daily
variety. The fruit salads are not al
ways as popular as they should be,
for many feel that just before the des-
sert course they take away the zest
for the sweet to follow. Perhaps this
is true. but they are SO healthy that
this should be their excuse for be
ing.
Bonbon SsIad-Shape small-sized
balls of new Pimento cheese and
roll them in finely ground pecan
nuts, press half white grape
on either side of the cheese. Al

white lettuce leaves and cover with
heavy mayonnaise, to which a little
whipped cream has been added just
before serving.
Hazlenut SaIad.-Shell and blanch
one pound of hazlenuts and grind half
OF them fine in a grinder. Crate
half of pineapple, mix with the nuts
and a tablespoonful of sherry. Juice
of half lemon and tablespoonful Of
powdered sugar. Let stand one hour,
then drain and add a package Of
cream cheese, mix to a paste, then

tuce leaves and cover with mayor.

SWeetbread Salad.-Parboil, blanch
and chill one good pair of sweet.
breads and cut them into small pieces.
Grind fine one dozen sailed almonds,
six olives, one green pepper and one
sweetbreads with the Juice of lemon,
gherkin pickle. Add these to the
Juice of one onion and wineglass of
sherry. Let stand one hour, then
drain and serve in green pepper cases
with mayonnaise dressing.
The !nvariable rule Of good salad
making is to have all of the ingredi-
ents ready, but not to mix the salad

EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT
Fatigue Of the Retina Depends mostly
on the Amount Received by
That Organ.

It Is not so much the intensity of the
light focused on the retina as 1t is the
quantity received by that sensitive
organ that causes retinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields OF the
arctic regions the natives protect their
eyes from the glare Of the snow by
goggles made OF followed pieces OF
wood in which they have made small
holes to look through. This, says the
Optical Review, reduces the quantity
OF the light which passes into their
eyes with consequent relief from the
glare
So, too, If we look through a min
ute pinhole disc at the sun we can en-
dure the very bright light much longer
than when we look with the naked
eyes. If we look at distant electric
arc light there is no retinal fatigue,
while II we look at the same light from
short distance there is great dis
comfort. and yet the two retinal i'm
ages are of equal brilliancy, only in
the first case this image is very much
smaller than in the second case; thSt
is the quantity of light is very much
different
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in all
of the large cities Of the country. This
light is much less brilliant than that
of the arc light, and yet Its size is SC
great that this more than makes up
the difference, and 1t is therefore very
glazing and uncomfortable to look at
In skiascopy 1t is possible to use a
very intense light II it is made small
in area, and for the reasons above
stated

to withstand hard usage and excessive
strain. Bearings are often TOO short,
gears too narrow and too light In
weight, oil cups are omitted where
they are needed, and the frame upon
which the machine is mounted is so
light that it is warped and buckled
at every stroke of the pump.
There are a great many things

A number of hand-pumps are pat
termed after the ordinary water force

is the source of so much friction that
barrel pumps of this type should be
avoided. Simpler types OF pumps,
without stuffing box, should be Sc
lected. Plungers with plunger-cup,
or inside plunger packing, require less
power to operate them Outside plum
ger-packing, or a stuffing-box on the
outside of the plunger, is another
method used in order to facilitate
packing and obviate trouble. Double

Spraying machinery has become Of
special importance during recent years
through the interest in fruit growing
aroused among farmers and fruit
growers In general.
Many people are unacQuainted with
spraying machinery and spraying
operations, so that careful study
should be given the subject before
much success in fruit growing is
achieved.
Spraying machinery has been pass
ing through period of transition dur
ing the last decade, and pumps used
for different kinds of spraying are
rapidly becoming special purpose

certain crop or series of crops, which
