A SUMMER

1t was Deacon Spooner who started
it. The doctor sent him Off to a sum.
! mer resort for two weeks to get rid
of fever, and when he came home he
had the biggest kind of an idea in his
| head. He got down to the postoffice
that same evening and said to the
crowd:
what we want to do is to turn in
and make high Hill summer resort
She's got everything the heart could

The idea met with favor, and lie
meeting was called. and during the
interval the price Of butter and eggs
went up 30 per cent Most of the
families In town decided on taking
boarders, and they decided that $40
per week would be a fair charge.
There was large turnout at the
meeting. and Deacon Spooner went
right TO business by calling for order
and saying:
The idea is to turn High Hill into

Then | move that the price of board

The deacon put the motion to the
meeting. and 1t was carried. and he
then said:

MAGAZINE REVIEW
Saving on the Butchers Bill.

In the January Woman's Home Com
| panion, Fannie Merritt Farmer, prob
ably the best authority on cooking in the
1 United States, writes number of re-
cipes for making use of the cheaper cuts
of meats. On the general subject of
cheaper cuts of meat and the higher
priced cuts she has the following to
say:
CHOSE who wish to save on the butch
er's bill need not feel that in using
the cheaper cuts their families are less
well nourshed, for all our best author
tiles on foods assert that such is not
the case The expensive cuts are taken
from that part of the animal where the
muscles are little used, so, of course, are
tender, and take a short time for the
cooking. Broiling and roasting may be
applied to them-two cooking processes
which to most of us are agreeable to
the senses of smell and taste alike.
"The cheaper cuts need a different
treatment, and longer, slower cooking
is necessary, which develops highly fla
vored substances not so evident TO the
sense of smell, but which are never
theless agreeable to the palate. No
matter what the cut is, it cannot be well
utilized unless it is properly cooked.
In many families where the income is
by no means meager, | have repeatedly
seen expensive beefsteaRs so badly
broiled that it was almost impossible
to eat them with anything like enjoy
ment. A cheaper cut, well cooked, would
have been more economical as well as
more satisfactory.
"a point worthy of emphasis in deal
ing with meats Is the careful serving
of them. If more is given than the per-
son wishes, or habitually eats, the ia
BILE waste is considerable. The minor
economies are all important, and should
be thought of in every household"

The receiving of last seasons crop is
being conducted under better weather
conditions and the work proceeding
about as rapidly as packers are able to
care'for it at warehouse points. The
growers are generally pretty we'll
pleased with the result as the crop is
bringing more money than most of
them expected because of the extraor-
binary yield per acre. Buying of the
remaining remnants has been resumed
in moderate way, the following sales
coming to notice:

Forest Atkinson, IA at 10, 4&2c.
Otto Sperle, ga at 10&3c.
Alfred Eide, Ga at 9&3c.
Warehouse work is proceeding
smoothly at the packing centers and
help seems to be plenty for all purposes.
Aside from the usual small trade in
old leaf we learn that Halverson & Bit
ters, Stoughton packers, sold Hoes lot
of 10 goods to an eastern dealer. The
balance of the Richland Center packing
of 'O6, some 300cs, has been disposed

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 1912.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 1912.
The leaf market appears to be in
healthy activity. A very lively demand
is current for domestic wrapper leaf.
Both the shade-grown and primed Ha-
vana are being absorbed rapidly. 1t is
years since the market was in condl-
ton to offer such available domestic
wrapper leaf as at present. For aside
from the Connecticut snade-grown, last
years Florida Georgia was the best
raised since 1906, while it's price has
been considerably moderated. Running
wrapper lots are selling on an average
of S1.75. The Connecticut shade-grown,
however, that is, the good fine leaf,
not the trash, and there was good
deal of trash in last years crop, ex-
ceeds that figure as it averages from
S. 90 to $3.50 per pound. How these
domestic wrapper leaf types will affect
the consumption of Sumatra remains to
be seen. If the prices at this years
inscription should be kept on the same
level as they were last year the use of
Sumatra is likely to suffer even more
in the competition with the excellent
domestic wrapper leaf than it did last
year. But if the price at the inscrip-
NAL figure the race between the Su-
matra and the domestic wrapper leaf
is likely to become of neck-breaking
speed. More than ever, therefore, are
expectations of what the forthcoming
inscriptions are to bring in high ten
sion. But the activity of the market
is not confined only to the wrapper sup
ply, it extends also to all filler and
binder grades of which considerable
quantities were disposed. The Havana
market remains in normal condition.
Later reports from Cuba are more fav-
orable to the outcome of the new crop
in the Vuelta Abajo, which is even ex-
pected to be of far superior quality
than for the past few years. 1t is to
be hoped that these expectations will
be realized. For nothing could stimu-
late the leaf market more than all

fcient quantities to meet increased de-
