Soon Learn to Cook Turkey.
Some OF the foreign ambassadors
and ministers bring their own chief
coks to Washington with them. asa
one of the first lessons which the
kitchen artist must learn is how to
cook turkey in American fashion. A
Washington story n that President
Arthur once broke a White House
rule and dined with European minis
ter who happened to be an intimate
personal friend, on Thanksgiving day.
Mr.. Arthur told his host that the tur-
key tasted as II it had been cooked
in the kitchen of a New England
housewife of unmixed Plymouth de-
scent. He was told that it was cooked
by a man who had come from Aus
tria within three months and that he
had never cooked a turkey before in
his life. This story is told in Wash
ington as an example of the adapta-
bility of foreigners to Americas ways,
even to the ways of the kitchen.
There are comparatively few sena.

It frequently happens that, as re-
suit of temporary over-supply or
lack Of proper distributive methods
and facilities, many products of the
farm more or less perishable in char
acter, are annually allowed to go to
waste. This is especially true with
respect to certain vegetables and
fruits.
Such a condition is morally and
economically wrong; is indicative of
lax business methods or resources;
and ought not to prevail. The large
manufacturing establishments discov-
cred long ago, that their revenues
could be materially increased by the
utilization of the fragments, and other,
seemingly waste products in making
the so-called by-products. In many
instances the by-products become the
principle source of revenue and prac-
tically sustain the operative expenses
of the establishment.
The farm is manufacturing plant
Of the highest order, and the farmer
and gardener may, with equal advan-
tage, increase the productive capacity
of his soil by the proper utilization
of surplus and waste products.
A pertinent instance of such plan
is near at hand. A gardener in the
vicinity of Columbus annually adds
from $70G to $1,000 to his income from
ten-acre tract, by very thorough
utilization of such materials-ma-
ter1als which would otherwise be alb
solutely wasted. His methods involve
the home canning of such perisnable
products as are returned from the
market stand from time to time-corn,
tomatoes, asparagus, and beans, in ad-
dition to the subsequent preparation of
a multitudinous variety of pickles in
volving the use of cabbage, ripe Gu
cumbers, green tomatoes, peppers and
mangoes, celery, onions, caIlifower,
etc., which are placed on the market
as more concentrated finished pro-
duct at very profitable prices
The raw materials so utilize repre-
Gent not only surplus products of su-
perior grade, which cannot be disposed

develop a herd of brood sows, even II
not pure bred, that will be very pro-
fitable. If one has a brood SOW that
farrows a large litter and is good
mother, she should be retained in the
herd as long as possible. Such a SOW
may live to six or eight years of age,
and farrow an average of one fine lit
ter a year, and perhaps two. 1t is
not desirable however, to have a SOW
farrow more than once a year if she
raises eight or more pigs in the one
litter.
In selecting brood sow, secure one
having a long body, strong back and
deep sides. The short, fat type does
not make a desirable brood SOW. She
is not built properly for reproducing
and nursing to greatest advantage.
Size with breeding animals is now
being recognized as important. In the
past, the tendency has been to produce
hogs of too much refinement, which
tended to fatten or mature early,
lacking in scale, feeding or breeding
capacity. Today there is a strong
demand for large brood sows of good
quality. A mature brood SOW should
weigh 400 to 500 pounds.

BREED HOGS FOR THEIR UNI
FORMITY Of SIZE AND COLOR
Select Sows That Faow Large LteS and That Have Long
Bodies Strong Backs and Sides-The Short Fat
Type Is Not Desirable.
By s. Plumb. College Agriculture, University

The breeding Of hogs on the Amer
lean farm is, in most cases, a recog-
nized business. In the corn belt, farm
ers commonly keep a number of brood
sows and breed most of the hogs fat
tened. In the production of such stock
there are few things to consider that
are essential to success.
The more uniform the hogs in breed
characteristics, even if grades, the
more attractive they will be to buyers.
A load of fat hogs of one color, Of
much the same size and appearance,
produces a favorable impression upon
the market.
One should select a type of breed
ing animals that farrow large litters.
Size of litter is a breed character
istic, some breeds being noted for far
rowing more abundantly than others.
The Duroc-Jersey and Chester White
breeds are each noted for producing
larger litters than the Poland China.
If one is to select breed, or a grade,
that is not inclined to be prolific, then
sows of good size, with plenty of
length and good teats should be
selected, and these mated with boars
from prolific families and strains. The
farmer, by careful observation, may

Canada at the
Chicago Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT Ex'
HlBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload of grain in straw, grasses
and other of the products of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition is under
way. Those who are interested in
the Back to the land movement" viii
find in the Canadian exhibit one of
the best displays Of the agricultural
products Of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there, who will be
pleasedto give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands of that
country and most Of the grain was
produced on the farms of former resi-
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage Of the homestead
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
q great deal of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and cauliflower are shown.
It ~ true that the homestead area
Is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk of that now to be- had lies north
Of the Saskatchewan river in a por-
ton of the country known as the park
country. Here there is a large guam

Western Canada the past year have
