POINTS ABOUT TEA MAKING
Beverage to Be Good Should Be Brew

Women who pride themselves on

ing, but in some cases it cannot be
helped. 1t should be poured off the
leaves into another heated pot and
covered with ''cozy."
II cream is taken less expensive
grade of tea may be used than when
lemon is preferred.
An old fashioned idea is to drop a
few shavings of dried orange peel into
the pot in which the tea is made.
Some like this, while others believe
that 1t spoils the flavor Of the bever
age.
Bits of cinnamon and two or three
cloves dropped in are other ways of
varying the flavor OF the cup that
cheers.

(By W. II. OLIN, Idaho Agricultural Col
lege.)
The measure of success in potato
growing is the yield per acre and
quality of tho harvested crop. From
the failures as well as the successes
of potato farmers, north. south, east
and west. the writer has hammered
out the following seven proverbs as
the seven most important potato
needs:
First-A potato soil is a prime re-
quislte for profitable potato culture.
This consists of a surface soil with a
sufficient admixture of sand and silt
or clay, to be responsive to tillage OPP
erations. Beneath this surface soil
should be well drained subsoil. cap
able of plant food renewals, to upper
soil, from time to time.
Second-Plenty of air, hence por-
osity in the soil. Potatoes must have
air, especially after the setting of the
tubers during the period of their ma
turity.
Third-Plenty of available plant
food. Soils rich in potash with plenty
of vegetable mold-humus-are usual
ly well supplied with all the other de-
sirable elements in available form for
the growing tubers.
Fourth-A well fined. firmed, but
porous, soil has an evenness of tex
ture which enables 1t % receive mois-
ture and feed the same to the potato
plant, through capillarity. as its root
system shall have need. An earth
mulch at surface prevents too rapid
evaporation OF this desired moisture,
conserving this essential for the grow
ing plant needs. Thus other essential

PROPER TEXTURE
OF GOOD SOIL.
IL Expressed by Common Farm
Words as Mellow, Loose.
FriabIe, Porous and
Easy TO Work.

Land is in good heart or good tex
ture when 1t is in the right physical
condition for growing crops, says a
writer in the Country Life in America.
This means that it possesses the quail
tiles expressed by such common farm
words as mellow, loose, friable, por-
Gus, easy to work; and Is not hard,
cloddy, lumpy, leachy.
It is not concerned with the mere
richness of the soil in plant food, but
It is concerned with the way in which
that plant food is served to the grow.
ing crops. It does not mean the
amount of water that soil contains,
but It does mean the facility with
which that water is presented to the
crop.
Good texture means that the ma
chinery of the soil is we'll oiled and
in running order; not that there is
plenty of raw material-plant food
in it, out OF which a profitable crop
can be manufactured. / know Of no
better way of expressing 1t than in
the language Of the farm: The tex,
ture of the soil is the way 1t works
up" Everybody who has handled
soil at all knows exactly what Is
meant by that.

NICE DISH FOR LUNCHEON
Asparagus omelet Is Something New,

by means OF which the growing tuber
plant draws its sustenance from soil
and air.
Fifth-Deep blowing and thorough
stirring of the soil at the proper time
insures soil aeratlon, so essential in
successful potato culture.
Sixth-Careful, systematic seed Sc
lection is all-important in maintaining
quality in potatoes. A seed plot grown

quality seed for next years general

hill-selected seed pays rich dividends

the type and character of potato you
desire to market.

typical of its particular breed. is the
type Of potato most to be desired for
seed. Unknown grocery potatoes. run.
outs and culls must, or should, be dis
carded for seed If we would hope to
improve the crop or obtain satisfac-
tory profits in potato culture.
Seventh-A well ordered rotation OF
crops is all important for potato sue
cess. Potatoes should not be grown
more than twice in succession on the
same ground without rotation to in
sure freedom from fungus diseases.
Place potatoes in the rotation after
the legume crop which pays you best
to grow upon the farm in almost every
locality.

MAKE DESSERTS LOOK PRETTY
Numerous Fancy Designs in Molds
That the Woman Of Taste Can
Use to Advantage.

A goodlooking dessert has sponge
cake or cottage pudding batter baked
in oval rings. large or individual. the
center filed with Charlotte russo or
Bavarian cream dotted with whipped
cream in fancy design: a similar de-
sign is arranged around the base Of
the cake. For a family meal the cot
tage pudding can be filled with fruit,
tapioca orange or pineapple
Many OF the hollow ring molds have
fancy shapes, cones. turrets or flow
ers, but where pennies count the plain
ones are more practical for all uses
Moreover, It takes a skillful cook to
empty the contents of a fancy mold
without marring It.
For special occasions there are va
rions molds to suit Hearts can be
had in all sizes, both hollow rings
and plain. Stars are easily found, and
for card parties there are forms to
represent hearts, diamonds, clubs or
spades. Almost any flower used in
decoration can be duplicated in a mold,
large or individual.
For mousses 1t is easy to find mold
suited to its kind Thus there are tin
molds shaped like a small ham, 9TH
ers represent fish. straight and coil
ed, big and little, while some have
a small chicken arranged to appear
on the top when inverted. These are
rather bizarre and not practical for
the housekeeper with small income
Any one who has tried to serve
spinach appetizingly will welcome a
new mold, star-shaped, with a press
and removable bottom. The finely
chopped green when dressed is put
in the mold. the water pressed out
through perforated bottom, which can
then be lifted out for easy serving.
