HOW TO COOK RICE.

Chinese Method Leaves Each Grain

The Chinese method of cooking rice

each grain standing by itself.
To attain these results pick the rice
over carefully to remove all refuse.
then wash it through several waters,
rubbing it between the hands to re-
move the coating Of starchy powder.
When the water is perfectly clear you
will know that the rice is in it condi-
ton to be cooked.
Have some water boiling in a sauce
pan. the proper proportions being
about two quarts Of unsalted water to
each half pint Of rice. Sprinkle the
rice in so slowly that the water will
scarcely stop boiling and cook it at a
gallop in order that the grains may be
kept in motion while boiling. Do not
stir or touch the rice in any way after
the grains have commenced to soften.
When they are done drain of ll the
water and set the pan in the even.
that the rice may swell. Do not let it
cook or brown. and serve it as soon
as it has become thoroughly dry,
which will probably be in less than
ten minutes. Let each person salt the
rice to suit his own taste after it has
been brought to the table.

How to Give Dou a Bath,

Short coated dogs need grooming as

Opinions differ as to the washing of
terriers, many people saying they
should not be washed frequently. bran

their coats to cleanse them, but per-

proves that thoroughly washing them
with good soap and warm water and a

water from the gulf, and about the
same distance from Puget Sound tide

middle of the wheat belt.
To this point came Mr.. Hill, a green
country youth. Transportation vas
his theme, and transportation OF wheat
has been the found alton of his success.
Wheat is of more Importance to US
than anything else-than gold, or cot.
ton, or coal, or timber, or iron.
Mr.. Hill carries over his railroads
all of these. The Great Northern
railway, the Northern Pacific, and the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy-over
20, 900 miles of track-are in his hand.
He directs, controls, even to minute

But the agricultural schools have

brings q practical return and makes
men self'supporting and self.reliant
is his eternal hobby. Four years 10

get what you want in a year, or not at

HOW TO GROW PERENNlALS.
General Practice Is to Divide Them
Every Two or Three Years.

Every Two or Three Years.
Perennials as a rule are easy to cul-
tivate. Prepare the ground to a depth
Of two feet and see that good drainage
is provided. The roots rot quickly In
the wet spring months unless the
ground is well drained. Deep cultiva-
ton of the soil is advisable, as the
plants have deep roots. Stable ma
nure. we'll rotted, should be dug into
the soil, and potash and phosphoric
acid used in addition. Use only
healthy plants and plant them at once
If possible after their arrival from the
nursery. The roots should be equally
distributed in planting and the soil
6rmed we'll.
Most cultivated perennials need no
winter protection, but are benefited by
a light covering. Any suitable mate
rial may be used which will keep out
the frost and will not be too close or
moist. Straw is an excellent material
when mice are not troublesome; when
they are, a light covering made Of
leaves. n rakings and weeds will
be found satisfactory.
It is the general practice to divide
perennials every two or three years,
as they are mostly strong growing
plants and deplete the soil food. An
other reason for dividing IS that the
crowns flower only two or three years
and then die, and as new crowns are
formed continually, the growth will
become scattered and loose.

FOR CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY,
Senate Passes Bill Requiring Publ
cation Of Expenditures.

~ " ! AH0UUlIUTeS
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE most
drastic campaign publicity legislation
ever passed in either branch of con-
gress was adopted by the sen ate prac-
tically without dissenting vote. U.s.
ing the prediction publicity bill
passed by the house of representatives
IS q basis, the senate constructed a
proposed law with the following i'm.
portant features:
No candidate for the sen ate or house
shall spend in the election more than
a sum equal to 10 cents for each voter
in his district or state.
No sen atorial candida ate shall spend
a total OF more than 5000 in the
primary and general election; and no
candidate for the house shall spend
more than s., 900.
Publicity must be given to all pri-
mary campaign contributions and ex.
renditures.
All general election expenses must
he made public before the election, be.
ginning Is days before election and
making public atoms each day until
election.
Prices of political jobs must be
made public. The bill further makes
il illegal to promise political places in
order to cur election support and
influence the election of any member
of the state legislature. The bill will
probably be the subject of prolonged
conference before the two houses. 1t
originated in the house as a part of
The democratic legislative program
and was designed to require the pub.
.~ication of expenditures before cleo
lions, which is not required by the
existing publicity law.
The republicans in the house unsuc-
cessfully tried to extend the bill to
cover primary election expenses. In
the senate the primary election amend
ment, coupled with more radical
amendments, was adopted with little
deposition.

WESTERN WHEAT FIELDS.

In 1876 the Red River valley was
not shipping a bushel OF wheat east.
The settlers we're just taking care OF
their own wants.
In the year 1910, just passed, the two
Dakotas and Minnesota produced over
200, OOO, 900 bushels of wheat-worth
say, q dollar q bushel. And when
wheat is a dollar a bushel the farmers
are buying pianolas, says a writer in
the New York American.
The Jim Hill country east of the
Rockies is producing. easily, over
$500, 600 900 a year in food products
that are sent to the east for market.
About 1889 Mr.. Hill gave an address
at q banquet in the Merchants hotel,
St. Paul. With a large map of the
United States and Canada o. the wall
he took a huge pair OF dividers or
compasses and, putting one leg of the
dividers on the map at St. Paul, he
swung the other leg out southw ard

ocean off the Carolina coast.
Then with st Paul still as q centre

TO PIONEERS.

A few days ago, at Denver, q monu-
ment to the pioneers al unveiled,
which had long been in preparation.
1t was designed by MacMonnis, is in
the most conspicuous spot in the city,
and the aft air was attended by national
rs we'll as state celebrities. Figures
on the memorial represent hunters,
Indian fighters, agriculturists and
miners, the whole surmounted by a
statue Of Kit Carson on horseback,
showing him in his early years, just
after be has passed through the pre-.
paratory school for his lifework on
the Santa Fe trail, and when he was
making his advent as a hunter and
path blazer of the wilderness.
There is a certain propriety in the
erection of this memorial 10 the pio-
neers and mountain men ia the larg-
est city of the Rocky Mountain region,
says the Globe. Democrat. Moreover
in Denver and its neighborhood the
pioneer al a parsonage of yesterday.
Colorado vas not erected into q state
until 1876. It's thirty-afth anniversar
is to be celebrated on August l. Sew
eral OF the other states in this vicinity
the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming
and Idaho-are still younger. In all
of them some of the first settlers" are
still living. Not until 1858 was the
gold discovery made which placed
Denver on the map. Its few hundred
people of 1860 lived in log cabins and
tents. Today its population is in the
neighborhood of 225 200. Colorado,
which had only $4,000 people in 1860,
had 780, 600 in 1910. In it and in all
the rest of the states of the mountain
region the pioneer stage is compare
lively recent.
In selecting Kit Carson as the crown.
ing figure of the memorial the project
ors showed excellent judgment.
Among the frOntiersmen west of the
Mississippi Carson had as distinctive
q place as Boone did among those
east of it. But living liz a later day,
and roaming over Q larger region, he
vas compelled to be much more YER
satile than Boone. When he took
French leave from the little saddler
shop at Franklin, in the interior Of
Missouri, in 1926, at the age of sixteen
Carson entered on as stirring acareer
as the American frontier aver az
forded. First as q teamster on the
Santa Fe trail, then as a miner,
hunter, Indian fighter. guide, soldier
in the Mexican war, a pathbreaker
for the Pathfinder, Fremont, Indian
agent and brigadier general in the
Union Army in the warfare in New
Mexico, he played many parts in the
drama of Western expansion, and
played all of them we'll.
Whole libraries of fact and fiction
have been written about him. His
deeds, real and imaginary, have been
told in twenty tongues. Every healthy
American boy of forty or fifty years
ago not only read of Kit Carson, but
longed to see him. His name travelled
farther than that of any other mar
who took a leading part in the open
Ang OF the wider and wilder West.

How to Keep Flies From a Horse.

How to Keep Flies From a Horse.
For a good way to keep flies from a
horse the following methods are rec
ommended:
1. Take the horse into the yard and,
having provided Il pailful of water, a
sponge and a piece Of carbolic or whale
oil soap, first wash the legs Of the
horse and then the whole body. leaving
some soapsuds to dry upon the skin.
2. Moisten the hair, especially Of the
tail and nostrils. with a strong decoc-
ton of hazelnut leaves. By means Of
this decoction the eggs which the flies
lay on the skin Of the horse are also
