Attack YIiIke Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corDusclcs attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply so fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, saltrhcum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to cXpel poisons from the blood.
They are the best blood purifier"

BUYING ALFALFA LAND.

There are many sections in the south where alfalfa will do well, and it goes without saying that land which will grow the legume is worth good price. Notwithstanding this there are some facts in connection with the growing of alfalfa which 1t is well to take into account One of these is that 1t will not do we'll on land that is not well drained. which means that a lot of land which Is being sold to northern buyers as prime alfalfa land will not be worth a continental for this purpose until it is drained. Neither will alfalfa do well over hardpan of any kind which comes too near the surface nor on a stiff clay subsoil. Weather conditions which are likely to prevail during the making of the hay should also be taken into account, rain and heavy dews being very detrimental to a good quality of hay. For this reason the drier or irrigated sections of the west and southwest are preferable for alfalfa growing. We are led to make the above remarks as the result of a conversation with friend who recently was shown lot of alfalfa land in southern state where the holes dug by lands crabs were visible in every direction. This simple fact showed that the water was too near the surface to make successful alfalfa growing possible. ..~.. r....

Flowers For Dinner Table.

From now until the close of the spring season there are DO more at trartive decorations of simple order for the dinner or luncheon table than those of spring flowers arranged In att tractive baskets. Charming baskets which are suitable for this purpose are to be had at many of the department stores and at the Japanese shops. The basket may be in any shape that Is quaint or beautiful. and daffodils, cow slips, lilies of the valley and lilac branches look lovely when arranged in them. The bottom of the basket Is filled with fresh damp moss and the stems of the flowers are thrust into this. If the flowers are to appear for a long time in public and there is dan ger of their wilting. the bottom of the basket may be fitted with shallow pan filled with water and the flowers placed In this. The moss may then be tucked in around the stems of the flow arS

 Sliced ham is more tender if it is baked than if fried. Cut slice three quarters of an inch thick, put 1t into small enamel pan. turn three-quarters of cupful of milk over 1t, cover and bake for an hour and quarter, bast- ing every fifteen minutes with milk.
 For luncheon grind the ends of a boiled ham and mix it with button onion that has been chopped fine and a little minced parsley. Put the mix ture into a pan with a little butter and moisten with hot water or cream Simmer four or five minutes and then heap on slices of toast. ."#N
 For curly bacon cut 1t very thin and half cook 1t in boiling water, then curl 1t, fasten in shape with a toothpick and broil 1t over the fire. A little grated American cheese mix ed with minced ham used in sand wiches Is delicious if the sandwich Is fried brown and served very hot

RICE GROWING.

Northern readers of these notes will be interested In how rice is raised in the southern states. A loam soil with good mixture of clay is consid- cred best suited to this cereal, while the other conditions which make good rice land are possibility of irriga tion. complete drainage and solidity at harvest time to permit the operation of heavy machinery. Rice land is pre-. pared for the seed as in the case of other cereals, and the best results are had with the drill, from one and a half to two bushels of seed being used per acre. When the rice plants are five or six inches high the field is flooded with water to a depth Of from one to six inches. The water is kept on the field until the rice gets in the dough. which is from ten to twenty days before 1t is ripe. The field Is then drained by open ditches and al lowed to dry. after which the rice is cut, shocked and thrashed, as in tka case of wheat or oats. Tn the last named step the speed of the cylinders is reduced to prevent cracking or breaking the grain. The rice is known as paddy" as 1t comes from the ma chine and is then taken to the mill. where it Is hulled and polished.

Salt Fish For Lent.

The season of Lent Is now with us, and there are still a certain number of people who fast during this time and invariably make a point of having salt fish on Ash Wednesday. Many people shudder at the idea of salt fish at all; but. properly treated, 1t is by no means to be despised. Too often, how ever, the necessity for sufficient soak ing Is not realized. with the conse- Quence that when served, if it be eaten at all. whoever ventures on 1t literally feels be or she is performing a pen ance. First of all. having procured the salt fish. let it soak for several hours. placing 1t under the tap if pos sible and letting the water slowly run on to 1t. Should this, however. not be feasible. soak 1t in plenty. of cold water. changing this fairly often and having the last water tepid. Then next 1t should be soaked in skimmilk or milk and water for several hours longer, soaking 1t in all for twenty four hours. Having gone through this process, 1t should be simmered in half milk, half water, with a very little salt and then it may be served with variety of sauces. Often the Ash. monger will claim that the fish has already been steeped- Should this be so the soaking in cold water may be omitted. but on no account should the steeping in milk and water be for gotten. Treated thus. the flesh will be white and firm and most palatable.

THE PEAR BLIGHT.

Considering the fact that there is probably no menace to apple and pear orchards that is so serious as pear blight, it will be well to be on the look out for it as soon as the sap begins to flow, as the blight in question Is bac- terial disease of the sap. It is espe- cially important to see that all hold over cases-that is, cases in which the germs have kept alive during the win ter season--are cut out before the sap begins to run so as to prevent their becoming sources of spread of the disease by bees and other insects to the blossoms and tender twigs of other trees of the same family. The pres ence of dangerous cases of blight is indicated by dark colored and sweet ish tasting ooze or sap which exudes from the cambium layer through the bark. The bees visit these places very naturally. get their feet smeared with myriads of the bacteria and as re- suit are likely to infect a majority of the blossoms which they visit in the course of a day. In view of the fact that bees often cover a territory in- cluded in radius of two miles, the possibility of a spread of the blight will thus be seen to be very great and emphasizes the necessity of destroying completely and thoroughly every hold over case. The wild hawthorn and crab, belonging as they do to the pome family, may be sources of early infec- ton, and If such trees are in the neigh borhood they should be inspected. Lat CT on if trees in the orchard are found to be infected through the blos- som in the manner indicated the only preventive measure known is cutting out with a knife well below the point of infection all diseased branches and limbs. After each cutting both the wound and knife should be sterilized with a one one-thousandth solution of corrosive sublimate (mercuric chlortde), which is deadly poison, and at the close of the day the parts cut away should be burned. By careful cutting a tree can often be saved even though the blight has got into the trunk or has reached down into the roots. The fighting of the blight will be greatly simplified and the damage from it less ened if all water sprouts are kept cut away well up into the head of the tree. as 1t is through these that infection is most often as we'll as most quickly carried to the main limbs and trunk.
