BREAKFASTS.

There is probably no meal where
dainty service and pretty dishes are
more appreciated than at the first
meal of the day, when the appetite
needs urging. 1t is much better to
have two or three we'll prepared dishes
than too much variety. For young or
old, fruit is a most acceptable begin
ming, and the season brings its own
variety. One of the most appetizing
and wholesome dishes for children,
and in fact for any one, old or young.
is the whole wheat. Get it from the
mill or granary, If you are fortunate
enough to live on a farm where you
can have plenty of cream; if not, top
milk is very good to serve with it.
Soak the wheat over night, then cook
it for eight hours in double boiler or
fireless cooker until the grain is soft
and easily digested. Salt while cook

Breakfast Muffin.-A simple little
breakfast cake, easy to make and very
good is this: Beat an egg, add a half
cup of milk, salt, two tablespoonfuls
Of baking powder; add flour to make
a soft batter, add two tablespoonful
of melted fat and pour into well
creased gem pans to bake in a hot
oven.
When bananas are not liked I'M
cooked, they are delicious baked with
butter; add lemon juice with a
sprinkling of sugar and a pinch of
salt
One needs to remember that most
of the prepared cereals need double
the time for cooking that is specified
on the box.
A we'll made and seasoned hash is
another good breakfast dish which is
usually a great favorite. If baked in
creased cups instead of the usual
method it makes an agreeable change.
Eggs in a multitude of forms are one
of our most easily prepared breakfast
dishes, and one of the most nutritious.
Omelets, too, are of endless variety,
changing the flavor by the sauce or
filling used in them.
An ordinary poached egg served
with nice, smooth, we'll favored
sauce will lose it's ordinary common
ness entirely.
Toasts and coffee are too good, when
well prepared, to slight by not men

vored and most important of all, all
hot things should be served piping
hot.

SOME QUICK GROWING TREES
Japanese Poplar Has Proved Wonder
of Remarkably Rapid Growth
Most Beautiful Foliage.

The poplar family Is used very ex-
tensively to make quick showing
along streets or newly laid out land
near cities. The Carolina is perhaps
the favored one; next to this is the
Lombardy. and, of course, the naples
are frequently seen. The maple, says
The Agronomist, Is beautiful, and will
always be used, in spite of the fact
that many varieties are afflicted with
blight and bugs, and 1t is very diff
cult proposition to coax an individual,
much less a community, to properly
spray and care for it's shade trees.
The Norway maple is undoubtedly
the best Of the species for our condi-
lions, Or the poplars the Carolina Is
certainly not worth while; it has too
many troubles. The Lombardy is
merely weird-as we see no beauty in
it. 1t is the spindling straight up and
down thing that is so often seen in
European landscapes, painted or 9TH
erwise. All we have seen in this
country were filed with dead limbs,
were unsymmetrical and scrawny.
looking generally.
The Japanese poplar has proved a
wonder Of remarkably rapid growth,
has beautiful clean bark, grows very
thick, has a beautiful foliage, is not
injured by anything, was In full leaf
this year over two weeks before any
other tree, and it's leaves remain after
most other foliage trees are stripped.
Catalpa species makes quick growth
sometimes. 1t comes out very late,
has leaf like palmleaf fan, and is
not pleasing IN the winter.
Therefore we most heartily recon-
mend the Japanese poplar as the best
Of all quick-growing trees.
