Farming With Brains.

When one hears Of great yield of
corn or small grain it is safe guess
that good alfalfa or clover sod exist
ed on the field not many years before.
The planting of good seed is the fuun-
dation of success in farming. and many
there be who fail to build upon that
foundation. For all such the outlook is
discouraging.
The compost heap is the farmers
saving bank. There. little by little. he
saves wealth that otherwise would go
to waste. but, gathered together and
properly used. will make the soil richer
every year.
Diversified farming carries an idea
of intensified farming-that is, getting
the most profits from an acre of land.
When crops are diversified the land IL
occupied longer and consequently yields
more than when one crop is grown and
the land lies fallow large portion of
the time.
Constantly you will hear men saying
In public addresses and agricultural
papers that II is impossible for the or
binary farmer to produce beef profita-
bly,, while just as constantly the farm
ers In the corn belt are throwing away

Pastry, cakes and sweets generally
are wonderfully improved by being
cooked in paper bags. The concen-
tration of heat which Is thus gained
has the effect of making the puff paste
lighter and more regular in texture
and all cake mixtures rise" in a
manner the open oven cannot produce.
Then again the cooking takes much
less time, and I need not point out
the value of this. In the old style
the oven door had frequently to be
opened to watch progress. The pastry
was thus exposed to draughts Of cool
air, which could but produce doughty"
heavy and unsatisfactory results.
Puff Paste: Take one pound -four,
three-quarters of a pound butter, and
mix the -four with water and salt light
ly, to the consistency of butter. Leave
this dough for half an hour, then fat.
ten It with your hand, and lay your
butter on top OF the paste. Then fold
four-corner way, and give 1t two rolls
as usual. Leave your paste in a cool
place for forty-five minutes, then roll
twice more, Leave 1t for forty-Hve
minutes, and roll twice again. Place
It in a larger paper bag which will
not touch the paste. Put on broiler
and allow twenty minutes in a hot

A New York business man who was

Ing direct to the consumer. He has O
large list of regular customers among
the residents of the numerous small
towns Of his vicinity, who buy all their
fruit and vegetables from him because
they can depend upon getting them
fresh, clean and sound.
A recent visit to the great produce
market of South Water street, Chicago.
disclosed the fact that hundreds of
shippers send their apple crop-much
of it fine fruit Of good color and free

dumped into barrels regardless of size
or condition, mixed with dirt, leaves
and twigs, all tending to lower the val

commission men are quick to take al.

the apples.
Any farmer or gardener who is To-
