By r. B. RUsHING.)
Four years ago / purchased q piece
of land adjoining my farm which was,
to say the least, one of the worst rum
down pieces of land in the country,
burdock being very rank
l turned in my sheep and in few
weeks they had the burdock eaten
right into the ground.
The sheep, while it is one of the
daintiest of animals, will live and
grow fat where cow would starve to
death. l usually make two cullings
of my flock each year; one in the
spring and one in the fall
In the spring Gull out all the ewes
that do not bring lambs or those
that do bring them and for some
cause fail to raise them, unless those
ewes are of extra quality and promise
we'll in the future.
In the fall | Gull out and ship off
all the old and weak ones, also fatten
and ship the wether lambs during the
fall and winter, thus my spring GULL
ing is light and my fall culling heavy.
However, l consider both important

best registered rams I can find There
is nothing gained in using Cheap
ram" on flock of grade ewes.
If you want to raise early lambs,
that is, winter lambs. you must be
thoroughly prepared and clearly un.
derstand the business. 1t means sleep
less nights, nursing bottles and warm
blankets. But lambs usually bring a
good price in the market, which ]
think pays for the trouble of raising
them
aim to have my early lambs come
in January and the first of February
the earlier the better. My ewes are
kept in good. thrifty condition, botl
before lambing and after.
Here is where many fail to have
what is called good luck with sheep
! Sc many flocks after they bring
their lambs, either early or late, turn
ed out in the early spring and that is
all that is thought necessary. Conse
quently they become thin in flesh ant
run down from sucking.
Thus, when the breeding season
comes again, they are in no shape fol

PickLlNe TIME.

Every frugal housekeeper likes to
have her shelves we'll stocked with
good things for the winter. Today
one may buy such good canned goods
that much Of the work has been given
up; but we all have few time-hon-
ored and handed-down recipes which
we prepare each year. The following
are few which ere old and reliable:
To Can Green Corn Without Cook
ing.-Take nine cups of corn cut from
the cob, have the corn just picked.
one cup Of sugar. half cup of salt
and a cup of cold water; mix all to-
gether and place in sterilized cans,
sealed tight. Freshen when using.
Beet Reiish.-A quart OF boiled
beets chopped two cups of sugar, ta-
blespoonful OF salt, a teaspoonful of
white pepper, half a teaspoon of red
pepper and cup OF grated horserad-
ish; mix all together and add enough
vinegar to make it moist. Can cold.
Canned Red Peppers.-These deli
cious little appetizers which cost too
much in the winter to have often may
be canned successfully at home. First,
raise your own sweet peppers, and
when ready to can, wash and cut in
strips with the scissors. cover with
boiling water and let stand five min
utes: drain and plunge into ice wa
ter to cover, in which there is Il large
piece of ice. Again drain and pack
into pint jars. To one quart of vine
gar add two cups of sugar. Boil to-
gether fifteen minutes and pour over
the peppers until overlooking; seal
and store in cold place.
Ripe Tomato Pickle.-Mix the fol-
lowing ingredients in a stone jar:
Three pints Of peeled and chopped
tomatoes, a cup of celery chopped,
four tablespoonfuls OF chopped red
pepper. the "bity" kind, and four ta-
blespoonfuls Of chopped onion, the
same of salt. six tablesponfuls Of
same of salt, six tablespoonfuls Of
teaspoonful OF cloves, the same of
cinnamon. a teaspoonful of grated
nutmeg, and two cups @: vinegar. This
will keep year, and is good to use

SOME LUNCHEON DISHES.

These dishes are suitable for either
luncheon or supper:
When there are bits Of leftover
chicken (not enough for meaD pre-
pare it by cutting it In small pieces,
add to white sauce and cupful OF
tender cooked celery. Serve on
rounds of buttered toast.
When there are few slices OF cold
roast pork left from dinner. chop and
mix with equal parts of celery. ada
dressing and serve on lettuce leaves.
Veal and lamb are equally good
served in this way.
Milk toast is most delicious dish
for supper. Prepare the toast not
later than five minutes before sew
ing; dry it in the oven until hot, then
toast golden brown; dip the edges
into hot water to soften, spread gen.
erously with butter and pour over a
white sauce made of two tablespoon
fuls each of butter and flour cooked
together and a cup Of thin cream or
rich milk added. Two cups Will be
needed for large dish of toast. lit
tie grated cheese of pronounced flavor
grated over the dish just before serv.
ing adds to 1t.
Bits of bacon left from breakfast
added TO white sauce and served
with poached eggs is a change that Is
quite acceptable from the everyday
poached eggs.
The old-fashioned Goldfish served In
good white sauce with steamed or
baked potatoes is dish which most
enjoy.
II one has little cold boiled ham
chop 1t and add 1t to q thick white
sauce. which may be used to cover
broiled chops; then fry in deep fat
and serve piping hot. The chop Will
need to be treated to egg and crumbs.
as are croquettes.
Fish chowder is another dish which
may be served at almost any meal
except breakfast.
Hash served in mounds with a
reached egg on each is nice way to
serve both of these common dishes.
Potatoes scalloped and seasoned
with cheese or mixed with hard
| cooked eggs varies that time-honored
dish. The addition Of few fresh
mushrooms is relished by most.

DESTRUCTION OF
OLD FRUIT TREES
travelling Timber Buyers Buy
Them Up for Manufacture OF
Tool HandIes-They
Should be Spared.
(By J. H. HAYNEs.)

\
There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the farmers 10 ostracize
the old standbys of years ago. 1t
seems like sacrilege to do so.
Some travelling timber buyers went
over our country buying old apple
trees for the manufacture Of tool
handles. Their story was that the
trees were worthless for fruiting and
the price they paid would replace the
old trees with young stock.
The grandfather of the writer
planted an orchard (seedlings) 80
years ago. He gave his children the
privileges of choosing tree and nam
ing 1t.
One of the boys called his tree
Bills Apple" This tree is still living
and bearing. So is the boy who
named It.
One other of these seedlings that
was top-grafted with the Pound Pip
pin is still bearing. Enough wood was
taken from these two old trees to
make gavel to be used by the pre-
siding officer at the annual meeting of
the descendent OF the old pioneer.
Last August over 200 of these chill
dren and grandchildren met TO COM
memorate the memory of the planter
OF these two old trees and this gavel
was presented to the society.
Some four or Ave miles from where
these trees stand is pear orchard all
seedlings planted at the same time by
another pioneer named Harter. These
trees are In fair condition yet, and
although seedlings, the fruit is good.
Our motto is spare the old land
marks. A young tree six years old
that grew from a graft from tree
276 years old bore an apple last year
and we are sure the fruit was of the
same quality, appearance, ETC.. as the
fruit that grew on the origina! tree in
the orchard at Boston, Mass.

A Question or Names,

In some of the country districts OF
Ireland 1t is not an uncommon thing
to see carts with the owners names
chalked on to save the expense of
painting. Practical jokers delight in
rubbing out these signs to annoy the
owners.
A constabulary sergeant one day &C
costed a countryman whose name had
been thus wiped out unknown to
him.
"Is this your cart, my good man?"
"Of course it Isl" was the reply.

Who or Whom I?

Thomas r. Lounsbury in Harpers Magazine
The truth is that the employment of the
nominative who for the accusative in GER
tain forms of Interrogation has become
SO imbedded in common usage that re-
sort. even now. to the strictly orthodox
practice frequently requires, on the part
of educated men, positive effort or pro-
lOnged training. 1t somehow does not
seem natural. In the past assuredly this
nonlinative form, where precise grammar
would require the accusative, turns up
with almost invariable regularity in works
which set out to represent cOlloquial
speech. "Who is it from?' says the
mother, in Jane Austen's pride and
Prejudice to her daughter, who has
just received a letter. who is it like?"
says the heroine of Jane Eyre to st.
John Rivers, as she shows him the pic
ture of Rosamund Oliver. Such exam
pies could be multiplied by hundreds.
There are cases, indeed. when the use
of whom would strike upon the ears of
most of us as painfully pedantic. Who

Lucius O'Trigger. in Sheridan's Rivals. y
as he notices Capt. Absolute sOliloQuiz-
ing. To tolerate whom in place Of who
in such a sentence as the last would re-
quire the speaker to be so thoroughly
STEPPED in grammar that the sense Of
traditional usage, which has been har-
dening into idiom, has at last been COM
pletely overcome. That height of lingu-
istic virtue few Of us there are who at

kind of sport. surf-board riding requires
a certain knack, and the knack here Is to
send your board shooting through the
water at the right moment and at the
right speed. To do this reai!y success
fully you must develop certain muscles
in the arms and shoulders. You must
learn first how to lie fiat on the board in
deep water. how to balance yourself
when there. and how to send the fra!l
Graf forward by using your arms like
pair of windnills and working your legs
like the paddles of canoe.
Having mastered these points, you start
for the long rollers beyond the breakers.
AS the waves roll over you. you dip the
bow of your board and go through them.
Once out where the big rollers begin to
form. you mount your board just as

you keep slipping down and down, but
never quite reaching the oottom of the
briny abyss. Then the wave breaks and
you are flung before it with the speed of
a cannon ball toward the sandy beach.
You throw your legs to right or left, ac-
cording to the direction you wish to go,
and keep your arms rigid. grasping the
edges of your board, if lying down. If
you wish to rise to your feet you must
do so in the flash OF second, and then
balance yourself.

came and brought ships to carry away
Russian grain; and then the Crimean

But the English stayed when the war
had passed, and then Germans came, and
afterward Americans, with reapers and
plows and steam traction engines. to help
the Russians to grow more richly the
grain that the English and the German
ships carried out to the world. Last of
all came the Jews, and they cut the bust

gave up: so the business of exporting to-

A few hardy Germans and English are
