CARE AND USE OF CASSEROLE
Excellent Servant of the Cook Must
Have Proper Treatment, and This
Advice Is Good.

Before using a casserole for the first
time, it is well to temper it; this ia
best done by covering it with cold
water. Then letting the water come
to the boiling point, remove from the
fire, and let the casserole remain in
the water until 1t is cold
Under no circumstances let the cas-
serole be put on the stove without
water or fat in it; If this is done the
dish will crack.
Avoid sudden changes of tempera
turn with the casserole; that is, do not
take 1t from the hot stove or oven
and place 1t in cold water or in a
wet sink; this will prove disastrous
to the dish.
Casserole cooking requires only
moderate heat; if something is being
cooked in the casserole at the same
time that intense heat is required
for something else, take the prscau-
ton of setting the casserole in a pan
of water.
In cooking anything in a casserole,
it is well to allow twice the time for
cooking that would be required were
the stew or vegetables or fruit cook
ed In the ordinary way.

should the apple fall to the ground,

of his hammering.
A nights sleep did not erase the
strange phenomenon from, his

rub-a-dub-dub, delivered almost too
rapidly for the separate blows to be

vel at the power of the steam in the

head has delved into the mysteries
of science, but hasn't delved percept-
IDLY into the stubborn surface OF the

he asked what the capture was.
Dennis obtained a jimmy and a
hammer, as being the most appropr1-

Dennis lifted out some four pounds OF

SEED OF INFERIOR QUALITY
Average termination Tests as Made
by Department of Agriculture
Low as 81 Per Cent.

Owing to the poor corn crop Of the
country last year, the poorest for sew
eral years, it is announced, the supply
of seed corn for planting is generally
of inferior quality. This has led the
| Department of Agriculture to make ex-
tensive tests of the terminating quail
ity of the seed corn available this
year, and the result has been to send
out warning to the farmers of the
country.
The bureau of plant industry, under
DR.. B. T. Galloway, has tested 1000
seed corn samples. The average of
termination is low, 81 per cent, where
it should be 80 per cent. This would
mean, under the same conditions as
were met by the last crop, a reduction
of ten per cent in the corn crop of
the country. When it is considered
that the corn crop is the great crop of
the country, reaching half a billion
bushels in good year, 1t is seen that
this would mean a serious loss.
The tests were the more important
because they showed the lowest aver
age of termination in the biggest of
the corn-producing states. Virginia,
Kentucky and Maryland were between
81 and 80 per cent, which was not
such a bad showing, but states like
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio were below
so per cent, and North Dakota made
the minimum showing, with Sc per
cent
The circular sent to the farmers
urges them to get the best seed they
can find for planting Ear corn is
recommended and it is urged that
there should be a careful termination
test made of each ear, and all in.
ferior ears discarded When the
farmer has to use shelled corn that
has not been previously tested for
termination he is urged to test a sam
pie double the usual size, and then on
the basis of the termination test, to
plant plenty Of corn to give a full

KING GEORGE DETHRoNED.

The slight extent to which the king
of England can influence mems fash
ions is shown by the practical disap-
pearance of the frock coat in New
York and London in favor of the cut
away. Yet King George and the
prince of Wales still stick to the frock,
as may be seen by the photograph OF
these personages in the act of per
forming their social duties. The re-
bellion of the king against putting on
a high hat at Henley shows, on the
other hand. that he is, to that extent
at least, with the sane and sensible.

Purpose of rarrIna Corn.

Tarring corn is done to protect the
seed from crows, ground squirrels,
field mice and moles. In some places
these pests do so much damage to the
seed that the prospect for a crop is
cut off before the seeds have chance
to terminate.
The seed is put in box or vessel
of some convenient size, and a thin
coating of tar is spread over it. Plant
ing is done in the same manner as If
no tar was on the seeds. The odor
of the tar will keep injurious pests
away even after the seed has sprout.

FORTUNE FOR INVENTION.

the increasing use Of pigskin as leath-

mates that there is a yearly loss Of

keenInn Trees in Shane.

If the trees are carefully looked
over about three times during the
growing season, and the ends Of those
shoots that are growing too long are
pinched off, the tree may be kept to
the desired shape. But where a shoot
has been overlooked it is better to cut
it out when found than wait until
winter. Negligence during the grow
ing season is about the only logical
reason for severe winter pruning.

Your columns have been so helpful
to others, 1 would like to have your
advice. 1 have been going with a boy
like him very much and he has told
other people he liked me better than
any girl he ever knew. When at a
leap year" dance how many dances
should I give him? Do you think it
considered unladylike to wear small
pearl earrings or would they make me
look coarse? What should a girl say
when asked to have a dance? Is It
really wrong to let a boy kiss you If
he is In earnest ?-Perplexed B.
1 hope from henceforth these col
umns will prove helpful to you and
that you will come just as often as
questions bother you. 1t depends up
on how many dances there are, 1
should think you could give him every
other one. Girls are wearing ear
rings now and If small 1 see no harm,
for the ears are not pierced these days
and it is only a harmless passing fad
to wear them. 1 think it is really
wrong to let boy kiss you and per-
haps you will think am very prim to
say so. If the boy really thinks lot
Of you, you can explain in a satisfac-
