Fruit desserts are far more whole
some and enjoyable at this season
than are the heavy pastries and pud-
dings of the winter bill Of fare. They
also require less time and labor IN
preparation, thus proving an inesti-
mable boon to the housewife during
the months when kitchen work 10 the
hardest.
. In my opinion, the peach heads the
list of summer fruits in point OF
healthfulness and delicious flavor, and
certainly none lends itself to greater
variety In serving.

CONCERNING OLDEST SONS.
Gases Where They Show Effects of Adj
verse Influences.

At all times and among all peoples
until very recently it has been the
custom to accord to eldest sons rights
and privileges which those born later
either did not share at all or shared
on far from equal terms. Only re-
Gently have the younger sons any
where been put on a level with the
oldest as heir to whatever of honor
and fortune the family might possess,
and nowhere probably do they yet
hold a position not in some respects
inferior.
For "fokway" as nearly universal
as this there must have been and, for
cient reason in the shape Of results Oh
the whole desirable, but Investigations
conducted by followers of the new
science called biometry have come
pretty near proving that, whatever the
excuses for treating the eldest son SO
well may be, they do not include Ell
Their physical or mental superiority,
for the eldest sons as Il class, accord
ing TO the statistics collected by the
biometrists, are inferior, not superior,
to the cadets. With many exceptions,
Of course, they show the injurious eff
fects Of many adverse influences, in
Guiding the relative immaturity of
their parents. the excessive care of
which they are the objects, and the
fact that. with futures more or less
assured, they are not so strongly i'm
PEELED as are their juniors to develop
the qualities Of self reliance, initiative
and enterprise.
The accident Of birth dooms eldest
sons to defend what Is, that being so
favorable to themselves, and to view
with something Of coldness what
ought to be- that-being so apt to cut
| down or off their personal privileges.
And yet in spite of primogenetic Gus
toms somehow the world has been get
ting along-and forward. The solu-
ton of the paradox, suggests the New
York Times, lies perhaps in the world s
need for just that conflict between
conservatives and progressives which
primOgeniture so effectively perpetu-
ates. From the racial point Of view
the incidental hardships to individuals
unlucky enough not to be born first
are negligible.

BUILT HIS HOUSE ROUND.
A Freak of Construction Whose Rooms
Resemble Wedges of Pie.

There is a round house in North
ampton, Mass, fifty feet in diameter,
occupied by the families of Archangelo
Couz and John Robinson. The situa-
ton is Maple street, and in times van
ished the abode has been known as the
ground house" and the "jewsharp." 1t
is said that q sometime Smith college
girl gave it the name of jeWSharp be-
cause of an r. which seemed Il remind
er of the Tyre formed instrument
known as the jewsharp.
The main house is two stories in
height and of brick, plastered on the
outside. 1t was built in 1929 by Seth
Strong. a builder who had notion
that a house Of the shape he left would
be warmer in winter and cooler in
summer-just why not even the old
est inhabitant can guess. Big fire
places cape i'll every room, and i'll the
rear of the dwelling are commodous
oven and smokehouse. The l., which
was built on several years after the
main house was finished, is q one story
addition.
Looking at the house from the out
side, one would think, says the Boston
Globe, that every room is shaped like a
wedge of pie, but this is not the case.
A wide hall runs from the front door
through the house, and about two
thirds of the distance from the door
is a brick wall at right angles to the
central hall.
Thus the parlOrs on either side of
the hall are like sections of pie, but
the other rooms are rectangular on
three sides and curved on one. Back
of these rooms is the kitchen, with
two large brick ovens. Near the ovens
is q set kettle, known in carly days as
1.-The brass Kettle" In the circumfer-
ence of the wall are four great double
chimneys, for there is a fireplace in
each of the eight rooms i'll the circle

Selecting Proper Fertilizers.

Thousands of dollars are wasted in
commercial fertilizers every year, not
because the fertilizer is not all right,
but because we do not know whether
the kind we use is the kind our land
needs. 1t is a great study and one
that we must make for ourselves.
Make some simple experiment next
year. Put in strip with fertilizer you
have been in the habit of using and
Just beside it another without it. This
will be worth a great deal more to
you than the opinion Of some interest

Seeding Experiments.

The Kentucky experiment station has
for two years been carrying on expert
ments to determine the rate Of seeding
that will give the best yield. 1t was
found that on rich soil in a normal
season relatively thick planting will
give the highest yields. In dry seasons
thin planting gives the best results.
On poor land the best yields will be
secured from rather thin planting. On
good corn land Of lair fertility three
stalks per hill or the equivalent in
drilled corn will probably give the best
results when an average of years is
considered.

Green Feed and Eggs.

An experiment conducted at the West
Virginia station with two focks Of
White Leghorns proved that the hens
having green food laid little more
than 25 per cent more eggs in 800
DAYS than a similar flock with no green
food. The green food was composed of
apples, rape and cabbage. In other re-
spects the feeding Of the two f1ocks

ate but f1fty-eight pounds Of food each.

food ate sixty-one pounds each.

MUTTON CHOPS.
both Rare and Well Done

If we expect fine lambs in the
spring we must give the ewes
proper feeding and good care
now.
Never feed any musty hay.
Clean the racks of stubs and all
left over hay before feeding, as
nothing will put Il flock off feed
so quickly as breathed over leav-
ings. These stubs will be rel
ishoI by the colts, and all waste
is thus prevented.
Provide fresh water every
day, and keep the drinking
troughs clean and free from ice.
Encourage exercise on fine
days.
Shut the lower half of the
doors and keep the flock in dur
ing storms.
Keep the floor dry and level.
A eve can be easily cast in a
hollow if she happens to lie with
her back down. Such losses
eliminate profits.
If any sheep or lamb is heard
coughing put it by itself and
give special care and treatment.
Find the cause and remove it.

Directions For Growing Supply For
the Family Table.
When toward the latter part of Win
ter the stock of canned and otherwise
preserved fruits run low or when the
appetite becomes capricious and de-
mands something fresh the most
available provision is rhubarb or pie
plant, which may be developed in a
few weeks in any cellar in which there
is a furnace.
During the first open spell after the
holidays make a visit to the rhubarD
bed, which should be heavily mulched
with manure and where consequently
the soil will not be deeply frozen, and
take out a half dozen or so of the older
roots and bed them down close togeth-
or on couple of inches of soil i'll Il
shallow box, which should stand i'll Il
warm place where there is no direct
sunlight.
Cover the roots with two or three
inches Of finely pulverized earth and
pack down firmly, following the plant
ing with thorough watering.
Growth will begin Immediately and
be very rapid, requiring watering ev-
cry day or two. The result will be a
fine cluster of blanched leaf stalks
from each root of the tenderest texture
and most delicious flavor.
If the roots are large there will be
constant succession of new leaves
for a period of several weeks, affording
pie and sauce material Of a finer quail
ity than from any garden grown plants.
