tific training; thus well-equipped agri-
cultural colleges for the negro are in
dispensable. The day of the ignorant
and superstitious farmer has passed.
Superstition is being replaced by SCI
ence, ignorance by knowledge. inefh-
cheney by efficiency.
| IF the white man, who Is nearing
the top Of the hill of our great ma
terial endeavor, needs the advantages
, of well-equipped agricultural college,
how much greater are the needs OF
those who only yesterday, like goods
and chattels, served as a medium OF
commercial exchange; who stand at
the very foot Of the hill struggling to
ascend? This efficiency will not only
be of benefit to all Of those whose
racial identity l bear, but more far
reaching than the average person
would imagine will be the benefits de-
rived by the white people as we'll. OBJ
servation alone has evidently taught
every thoughtful white man that the
increase of mental, moral and material
efficiency on the part of the negro
means the decrease of ignorance idle
ness and crime. We live side by side
with our white neighbor, and be our

SERVING STEAK "TAlL ENDS"
Part Usually Considered Good for
Nothing May Be Made Into
Some Delicious Dishes.

One part of food which almost in.
variably goes to waste is the tall end
of steaks. This part of the meat is
usually so tough and full Of coarse
fiber that no one could eat 1t. Now
the wise cook can so disguise these
tails that the eater will think it some
entirely novel dish, Besides using
these ends en- casserole, they may be
chopped in the meat chopper, moist
ened with onion juice, mixed in with
potato, seasoned well, shaped into
cones, dipped in egg and cracker
crumbs and the despfsed ends of
steak will come out triumphantly as
most delicious croquettes. When por-
terhouse steak is % to 80 cents a
pound, it is certainly worth while saw
ing the ends, which often weigh as
much as the tender meat itself.

EVERGLADES of Florida.

territory The region is 70 miles
long and GO wide, the water being
from one to six feet deep, studded
thickly with ridges, or islands, from
ne-fourth of an acre to hundreds of
acres in extent. Out Of the water
grows rank grass, from six to ten
feet high. The vegetable deposits of
the Everglades are enormous, and be-
yond a doubt the great swamp, when
thoroughly drained, will produce amaz-
ing crops, especially of bananas and

Mixino Fruits.

When inclined to be dry or taste
less, apples are greatly improved by
the addition Of other fruits. Grated
pineapples and ounces are both good
for this purpose, but dried fruits, such
as dates, figs and prunes, can also be
used with excellent results. The dates
should be stoned and cut into quar-
tiers before being cooked with the
apples, and the figs should be shred
ded. Prunes must be we'll washed and
allowed to soak in little cold water
before cooking, and, as apples require
less cooking than prunes they should
not be added before the latter are
nearly tender. Very little sweetening,
if any, Is required when figs, dates and
prunes are used with apples.
