sEAsoNABLE DISHES.

The time-honored dish of roast pig
is served during the cold weather. as
pork is best served In the winter
months.
Roast Pig.-A pig for this purpose
should not be over four weeks old
and should not be kept more than
two or three days after it is killed
The skin of larger pig will not de-
velop that desirable crackle which is
one OF the charms of the roast.
The pig is usually stuffed with a
poultry stufing though some like rice
and cheese The fore legs are skew
cred forward and the hind legs back
The mouth is fastened open with a
piece of wood or cob. and when II
is served the traditional apple Is used
in its place. The ears are protected
with buttered paper while 1t is roast
ing. The oven should be moderately
hot. and basting often improves the
roast The time for roasting Is about
three hours
Roast Goose.--A young or green
goose is recognized by its pliable vel
low feet and its tender windpipe. As
II grows older the down on its legs
disappears and the feet become dark
er in color The skin is SO fat and
greasy that a warm soda bath and q
good scrubbing is necessary to pre-
pare 1t before II is drawn.

SOME SIMPLE DESSERTS.

Often the word simple does not i'm
ply inexpensive. as simple gown may
be one of much cost: simple dish
may be of few ingredients yet quite
expensive. The following Is both
cheap and simple when eggs are
plenty:

NEW YEARS SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE FARMER.

An ideal is a kind Of mental pic.
ture. Every farmer should have ideals
in regard to his work The begin
ming of the new year is good time to
think some of these things over. Have
ideals in regard to the appearance Of
your farm. Say that next year no
briers or bushes will stand along your
fence rows. Determine that no nox-
ious weeds will be allowed to go to
seed. Try to have your roadside look
the neatest and cleanest of any in the
entire community. See that all gates
are hung so as to open and, shut free
ly. Keep things tidy around the barn
and other farm buildings. Then don't
forget the appearances Of things about
the house. Endeavor to have the neat.
est and most sanitary backyard to be
found anywhere. Try to make things
ideal about the house for your wifes
sake. BE watchful for the little con,
veniences you can make for her. Set
the standard of your work and living
little higher this year than IL was
last.

ing and the consequent loss of bear
ing wood
The pruning OF the gooseberry is
very simple, but in this case the best
fruit is borne upon wood that is two
and three years old. The aim then
should be to keep up continuous sup.
ply of new vigorous shoots. This will
necessitate the removal of some of the
old canes practically each year, and
in no case should they be allowed 10
become feeble and unproductive. Per.
haps six or seven main canes would
be an average for a gooseberry bush.
It is more important to have thin
head with the gooseberry than with
the currant as most of our varieties
are subject to mildew. While mildew
can be combatted fairly well with
sprays, yet it is much the better plan
to let nature assist in this work. This
can be done by having open headed
plants which admit of a free circula-
ton of air.

GATES SHOULD BE KEPT IN GOOD REPAIR

The gate is the important part of ev-
cry fence. The characteristics of a
good gate are lightness, strength, dur
ability and ease of operation. These
are dependent upon the style of con-
struction and kind of material used.
Farm gates are made of both wood and
iron, the former material being the
more common. They may be SO con-
structed as to swing on hinges from
post or slide open on rollers or wood
EN- pegs or strips fastened to the post
This sliding gate is the more primitive

older than three years, thus it will be
seen that constant renewal is to be

up by the currant bushes each year,

become choked with surplus wood. By
proper attention to details 1t will thus
be seen that some of the old canes can
