FISH SOUPS.

Fish soup is rather an unusual dish
In most American families, though for
those who enjoy fish, the soup is most
acceptable.
Swedish Fish Soup.-Reheat one
quart of fish stock and add one onion,
Six potatoes, a carrot and a small
bunch of parsley. all cut very fine.
Simmer for half an hour, add two
cupfuls of veal stock, a dozen oysters
and half glass of orange juice with
salt and pepper to taste. Cook until
the oysters ruffle, and serve.
The fish balls that come canned are
delicious served in a cream soup,
which may be thickened with egg or
dour and seasoned with onion.
Austrian Goldfish Soup.-Remove
the skin and bones from two pounds
of fresh Goldfish and chop fine. Add
4 carrot, an onion, a turnip, two
stalks of celery and bunch OF herbs.
all minced. Add quart of water and
simmer two hours, then add the Juice
Of a lemon, salt, pepper and nutmeg
to season. Press through a sieve, re-
heat and thicken with a tablespoonful
each of butter and flour. cooked

Norwegian Fish Soup.-Reheat six
cups Of fish stock. This stock is the
water in which the fish has been
boiled. Blend together three table
spoonfuls each of butter and -four;
add two cups Of milk and cook until

thickening to the boiling stock and
two eggs beaten smooth with little

Injurious Canadian Thistle.

The Canadian thistle is a deep-root-
ed perennial of European origin with
creeping root-stocks, which send up
shoots at intervals from two to four
feet high. Leaves deeply notched and
very prickly, with a somewhat crimp.
ed appearance. The under surface OF
the leaves is woolley and grayish in
color; the upper surface is smooth and
dark.
1t produces large number of flower
heads. containing flowers which are
from three-quarters to one inch across,
light purple in color
The seed is about one-eighth of an
inch long and of golden color with
a tuft of fine down at the top, by
means of which it is distributed by
the wind. Seeds ripen about July or
the first of August. 1t is propagated
both by its seeds and extensive root
stocks, the latter penetrating the soil
from ten to fifteen inches.
This weed crowds out grain crops
on account of its rank growth.
Canada thistle Is quite commonly
mistaken for Prairie Bull thistle by
Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1913-01-09

those unfamiliar with the two weeds
The Prairie Bull thistle has white
woolley leaves and stems and much
larger flower heads than the Canadian
thistle.
If Canada thistle occur in small
patches only, keep them in check by
cutting with n spud hoe every time
they appear above the ground. When
the infested area Is large, allow the
plants to grow until the flower bud has
formed, then cut with mower as close
to the ground as possible. By allowing
the plants to reach the flower bud
stage, the roots will be somewhat ex-
hausted of food material and will be
in weakened condition. Plough
deeply. following with a thorough cul.
tivation with a spring tooth cultivator
bringing as many of the roots as pos
sible to the surface. Give the ground
thorough surface cultivation until
quite late the following spring. Seed
heavily with barley and cut for green
feed. Cultivate with a sharpshared
cultivator at intervals each time new
stems are thrown up.

Roses in Medicine.

Roses at one time figured prom
inently in the pharmacopr aia Pliny
caves SO remedies compounded of
rose leaves and petals. Sufferers
from nervous complaints used to seek
relief by sleeping on rose pillows and
one is told that Helogabalus used to
imbibe rose wine as a pick-me-up
after his periodical gormandizIng
hours. The flower was also served
at table, both as a garnish, in the way
parsley is now used, and as a salad,
and rose water was largely used for
fiavoring dishes. Roses as food have
gone out of favor among western ma.
tons, but the Chinese still eat rose
fritters.

DESTROY GREEN
CABBAGE WORMS
EffeCtuaI Spray to Eradicate In
sect Pest Is Given-BugS
Are VoraciouS.

The cabbage worm is the larva OF
the white butterfly, which may be
seen flying around the garden early
in June. The moth lays her egg in
the heart of the cabbage-the eggs
soon hatch out where the weather is
hot and dry. The worms are small
at first, and of a greenish color. They
are voracious and feed mostly on the
inner leaves of the cabbage. Unless
destroyed when young, the cabbage
will be ruined, as they eat out the
heart of the cabbage. The most effec-
tual remedy is the paris green solu-
tion-made as follows:
Pure paris green. one pound. and
water so gallons; mix thoroughly,
spray the cabbage as soon as the
worms appear. Some gardeners use
the dry paris green mixture-which is
made as follows; Paris green, one
tablespoonful mixed with two gallons
of alr-slaked lime-or dry land plaster.
The paris green solution is not
harmful when cabbage is small. When
the cabbage commences 70 head up
use Hammonds Slug Shot. This Is
less poisonous than paris green and
safer to use when fruit or vegetables
are nearly ripe. II may be had for
ten cents per pound. A mixture OF
fine table salt and black pepper is
said to be effective. II should be
sprinkled in the heart of the cabbage
when leaves are wet with dew APP
ply as soon as worms appear. The
salt when dissolved will kill the worms
and also help the growth of the cab.

Green Food for chlckens.

One reason why so many farmers
get so few eggs during the winter is
that they do not provide their fiocs
with green feed during these seasons.
\ continuous and high production OF
both milk and eggs depends in a
large measure upon a constant supply
of green, succulent feed for the ami
mails producing them. Rye is one Of
the cheapest and best green feeds for
these purposes that can be gown

USE FOR CEMENT
is FOUND DAILY
One of Most Novel and Recent Is
in Stree Dentistry'-Saves
Much Decay.

Hardly a day passes nowadays that
a new use for cement Is not found.
recently one of the leading railroads
replaced wooden telegraph poles by
concrete poles, and they are being
found more satisfactory from almost
every point of view Reinforced con-
crete planks are being used in steam
boat construction. Wooden ties are
being replaced by concrete on some
railroads. The infants milk is OBJ
tanned in a dairy where the floors
walls. bins, feed-mixing troughs and
stalls are all of concrete AS he grows
older he is surrounded on all sides by
concrete structures, and when he dies
his body is placed in a grave whose
vault is constructed Of concrete, and
a concrete tombstone is used to mark
his resting place. Thus the examples
of the varied uses Of cement might be
multiplied. One of the most novel,
however, is the use OF cement for
tree dentistry" This consists IN the
filling of old cavities in the trunks
of trees with a rich cement mortar,
after the rotten wood has been care
fully removed, somewhat similar to
the manner in which a dentist care
fully cleans tooth cavity before
filing. Care should be exercised. how
ever, to see that the surface OF the
cement is low enough for the bark to
grow over.
Foresters believe this viii be the
g al from
further decay and destruction.
