COOLING DRINKS FOR
FEVERlSH COLDS

With la grippe and feverish colds
prevalent, cooling drinks are In de-
mand. Chilled fruit juices are always
acceptable, whether they be the juices
of dried fruits soaked overnight, then
cooked in the same water; tart home
made jellies dissolved In glass Of
cold water, or the juice of lemons,
lines, oranges or grapefruit diluted
with water and sweetened to taste.
One patient finds nothing more accept
able than the juice Of an orange
squeezed into glass, the same as
pleade the most refreshing. To pre-
pare 1t peel and quarter tart apple,
cover with water and cook until ten
der. Press to pulp while hot; sweet
en- slightly, then cool and strain into a
glass OF cold water. The water in
which rice has been cooked, when
strained, cooled and slightly sweet
ened or lightly sailed, Is both nourish-
ing and cooling. The addition of lem
on Juice makes an oriental drink great
" in demand in case OF cold or fever.
Oyster broth, made with milk and
chilled, is often relished.
The peculiar acid Of buttermilk ap-
peals to many palates, while with 9TH

FADS IN BAGS.

The pocketbook is quite out Of fash
ion. The only purse the fashionable
woman allows herself to be seen out
with" is the tiny change purse.
The bag has put the pocketbook out
Of commission. The striking feature
about bags just now Is their length.
Imagine a bag a foot or more in
length and not more than six inches
wide. hanging from heavy silken
cords nearly a foot and a half long
and these tipped with tassels. This
&c the new bag. Long as the bag is.
w. contents are perfectly accessible.
While this style is the last word
among bags, there are many other de-
sirable shapes somewhat less pro-
nounced. Round bags are extremely
modish and also the elongated styles.
Something altogether different is the
flat bag, rather longer than wide. hav-
ing square corners. The noticeable
feature is the large flap which buttons
down one side.
One Of the latest bags has seven
compartments. The systematic wo-
man will find this quite to her taste.
In fact, all of US who have CROPPED
frantically in the depths OF crowded
bags for some lost trinket will appre-
ciate the possibilities for order such
bag affords.
The card case Is no longer carried
in the hand when woman starts out
on a calling tour. 1t is carried in the
inevitable bag.

Des Moines, March Sin attend
ance, yesterday was record breaker
for not only this show, but also the
two previous shows Of the associa-

rive early in the morning and grew
larger throughout the day. The
show committee estimates the total
attendance for the day at more than
5000. The attendance OF the sho"
thus far indicates that the total will
nearly double that of last year
The largest crowd was present last
evening. All the aisles and booths
were literally jammed with visitors.
1t was almost impossible to make
Roadway through the main aisle of
the exhibit. In each booth, exhibi-
tors were busy distributing flowers
and special souvenirs of the occa-
sion to the thousands of people who
passed through the exhibits. Nearly
1000 people visited the show during
the evening.
1T is a source of qualification to
mo to realize that the people of the
state appreciate the show the way
they do" said Mr.. Van Vliet. I'VE
spent large amount of money and
worked hard to make the show a
success. We have received excellent
support and there should be no doubt
as to the financial success of the

TRAINS SUCCESS GRATIFYING

Greater Than Ever Before.

Waterloo, March S.-Although the
weather conditions have been ad-
verse to the greatest possible attend
ance at the various places scheduled
on the Rock Island special, operated
by the Iowa State Dairy association
under the direction Of Hugh G. Van
Pelt, state dairy expert, the attend

it is conceded by the Rock Island Of

special is greater than has been Sc
cured by any educational special ev-

an Indication not only Of the fact
that Iowa farmers are beginning to
realize the Importance of better dairy
methods, but it also unquestionably
indicates that seeds sown by former

that there are many opportunities to
which he has access that in the past

peat, writes Consul Rasmussen, This
society disburses government appro-

ascertain the best uses to which they
may be put. Whenever marsh reclaim
alton work is approved in advance by
the society, it contributes one-fourth
Of the total cost of the work.
During the fifteen years that the So
ciety has operated in the two counties
of North and South Bergenhus. 1,175
acres of marsh and swamp lancls have
been converted into good, tillable
fields, at a cost Of $25,634. fraction
over $22 an acre. 1t ls estimated that
the milk support will bring to the dis

act toward him just as the disciples

who have SO much more proof would
bring all our devil-tormented and sick
ones to him. But these people were
very like us-they were not so eager
for spiritual blessings as for healing

TEACHING CATTLE TO AVOID
POISON.

The experience of Walter Larden
on the pampas Of Argentina indicate
that the avoidance Of poisonous herbs
ID not, as has sometimes been thought,
an instinct born in animals. There is
a poisonous weed on the pampas
called romerilla, which the native-born
cattle and sheep have learned to avoid.
but imported cattle and horses have
to be taught not to eat It. That ia
done by tying them fast and then
burning heaps Of the weed to the wind

breeds in them so great dislike that
they do not touch the green weed

HOW TO MAKE BUTTER.

,sonard & Son Of Troy, Hartford
.ounty, Pa, butter makers, who have
hsep awarded premiums at the Penn
\ .,,vania and New York state fairs.
Thsv send the following instructive
answer as to early and later proc
esses:
~n our early butter making We set
our milk in shallow tin pans of six
quarts capacity and let 1t stand un-
4, Il clabbered. Then the cream was
.timmed off and stored until enough
had accumulated for a churning. It
vas churned in a dash churn, gath
cred into a lump, taken up tn a
,adle, sailed to taste and worked over
with the ladle until the buttermilk was
very nearly worked out, then left for
few hours for the salt to dissolve
and the color to develop. 1t was then
revorked until all streaks disappeared
and the remaining buttermilk was
worked out. 1t was then ready for
the table or to be packed into firkins
for the market.
subsequently we adopted the Cool
~ submerged system for the more
complete raising of the cream without
pouring.
Then came the use Of the separa-
tor superseding the Cooley system
separated cream should be cooled to
about As degrees and kept at tenn
perature about so degrees for "a hours.
II will then. by development of Tactic
acid, be sufficiently ripened to churn.
We use a revolving churn, scalding 1t
before the cream is poured into it. At
this stage the ere III should be thick
and run smoothly from the storage
pals. The temperature should be 81
degrees. The churn should revolve
about forty times a minute for from
fifteen to twenty minutes, when the
butter will form In granules. The
chum is then rinsed with water at 60
degrees and the buttermilk drawn of.
The butter should then be washed
With water go degrees) until the wa

and the brine is worked out. It is

GOOD SEED PAYS.

Some persons purchase and plant
poor seeds simply because It is cheap.
The best Is none too good when 1t
comes to investing In flower, garden
and field seeds.
With all things 1t pays to buy the
best, but 1t Is doubly true Of seeds
There Is no profit at ALL and Often
actual loss, in planting poor seed !;
while with good seed a good and
highly profitable crop may be expect
ed when all other conditions are
equally as good.
OF late years farmers and garden
ers have come to appreciate the value
OF high-grade seed. The corn yield
during the few past years has been
increased in many cases from 10 to 80
per cent. by the use OF high grade and
pure-bred seed corn. A dollar extra
expended for extra good seed will al.
most invariably bring an extra return
Of from 81 to $40, which is splendid
interest for the time on the money.
Good seed corn will readily bring ~
bushel, while extra high grade seed
will bring all the way from 80 to IS
a bushel, and there never has yet
been an oversupply Of the best seed.
II you plant and grow the best and
have extra high-Quality seed to sell,
people will make beaten path to
your door to purchase OF you. Prize
winning seed corn will sell readily for
81 an ear, while champion prize-win-
ming ears will frequsntly bring as high
as SO apiece.
1t pays to buy the best of all kinds
of seeds. Two years ago We paid 81
a gallon for Lima bean seed and made
more than SO. from 1.-The extra yield
over seed which looked nearly as
good, but which could have been pur-
chased for go cents gallon. 1t is
similarly true of all garden and flower
seeds. The best is none too good.
Purchasing and planting good seed
not only means a large and better
yield the first season, but 1t means a
greater yield for future years, the
total larger yields amounting to per-
haps 100 times the extra cost OF the
original good seed.
In looking over catalogues, do not
expect to buy the best for a low price
Time, labor and expense are required
to produce good seed, and 1t cannot
of course, be sold cheaply. A 10-cent
packet is worth more than cents
more than scent packet. Good seed
has been selected with care; 1t Is
pure, and 1t can be relied upon, be-
cause it is fresh and viable.
There Is a satisfaction in growing
the best OF plants In the field, in the
garden or In the flower bed. Many
failures and disappointments come
from planting old and worthless cheaI
seed. No firm can absolutely guaran
tee their seeds to grow and produce
large crops, yet reliable firms will not
knowingly sell goods taat are not first
class, fresh and true to named varie
ties. In growing flowers we always
aim to purchase few good and high
priced seeds rather than attempt to
grow. lot of inferior plants. The
few good ones are worth whole yard
full of poor ones. With garden and
field seed we have found that 1t does
not pay to bother with anything bu,
the very best.
