C0PiOUS RAINS A BENEFIT
Reports From Various Portions of
the State Presage Boun-
tiful Harvest.

Manitowoc.-The precipitation o.
rain here during the month of May
was a little over two inches, a trife
more than normal. There was nc
damage done by frost and an unusu-
ally plentiful crop is indicated. Ber-
ries and apples will be especially
plentiful and the first strawberries
home grown are now on the market.
The pea canning season will open the
earliest in the history of this county
and the Gamers say that the crop is
excellent and they expect the largest
pack in years, though the acreage has
not been increased
Oshkosh.-Although there was a
rainfall Of 3.95 inches during May,
bringing the total for the first five
months of 1911 up to 80 inches, the
amount of precipitation is not I'M
usual, for the average rainfall in
this vicinity is 81 inches year and
about Is inches for five months
However, there has been more rain
in 1910 by exactly one inch in the
same length of time and Winnebago
county farmers never had brighter
crop outloOks.
Madison.-A succession Of rain and
hot spells points to unusually favor
able crop results in this county this
year. The precipitation Of rain dur
ing the first five months of this year
was 9.54, about 1 Il inches less than
the fall in the corresponding period
last year. The outlook is especially
bright for the corn and tobacco
crops.
Green Bay.-Rain fall during the
month just past was a little more
than the average for that month, 5.72
inches having fallen as compared to
an average of 3.57. Indications are
that the crops in this county will be
good-sized and the grain crop will be
abundant.

TASTY WAY TO SERVE FRUIT
"Macedone," Mixture Of All Kinds,
Is Something That All Will
Appreciate.

Macedonia may be made with any
combination of fruit, fresh or canned,
dried or preserved At this season
Of the year a mixture of fresh pines
with oranges, prunes and any left
over fruit juices can be utilized. The
little evaporated German cherries
make rich fruity juice. Wash, soak
over night and stew gently until all
goodness Is extracted. Strain and
sweeten. Add pineapple, peeled and
shredded; some nice prunes soaked
over night, the pits removed and the
meat cut in small pieces, two or three
oranges peeled and cut in bits, and
any surplus left over from canned
Or preserved fruits. Stew gently,
sweeten to taste, and serve with but
tered waters or brown bread sand
wiches. This will keep some time. If
it shows signs Of fermenting, boil up
again.
If desired gelatine may be added to
this, allowing level tablespoonful
granulated gelatine to each cup Of the
macedonia. Soften the gelatine in
cold water, then dissolve over steam
or add to the hot macedonia. The
bits of fruit may be left in or strained
out as preferred. Pour into small
molds or on earthen dish, spreading
the mixture about an inch in thick,
ness. When firm cut in cubes.

SEE FINISH OF HERRING
Marinette Fishermen Protest Against
Use of Nets in Spring
Fishing.

Marinette.-The fishermen along
the bay shore in this vicinity are
strongly opposed to spring fishing
with nets, which, although not
against the law, threatens to deplete
the waters of herring and perch.
1t is stated by the fishermen that
few are making hauls of from
twenty-five to thirty-five packages
daily They only find enough Of
proper sized herring and perch to
make from three to five packages,
and the balance, from a ton to two
tons of small fry, is thrown away.
A B. Be Dell of Menominee, an
authority on bay fishing, believes
that spring fishing with nets should
be strictly prohibited by law. He
points out the slaughter of young
fish, which by fall would be matured
and marketable, will materially de-
plete the bay of it's wealth of herring.

USE AN AUTOMATIC STIRRER
Mechanical Apparatus on Lid of Sauce
pan Does the Work Easily and
Effectively.

There are some viands which the
cook is compelled to prepare frequent
ly which must be stirred constantly
while they are on the stove or else
they will burn. This is particularly
true of some cereals, and the tempta,
ton is strong on the part Of the cook
to divide her attention with other ar
t1cles also in the course Of prepare
ton, with the result that one or the
other often suffers.
The automatic stirring saucepan is a
new invention which is likely to meet
with great popularity.
