HAPPY OLD AGE AND YOUTH
Ambassador Choate Discovers Eighth
Decade of Life Was Best of ALL
Good World to Live In.

Each era of our lives has its pc
culiar compensations, the Philadelphia
Ledger declares. When young man
is In college, or lad at school, he Is
often told by his elders that these are
the happiest years of his life, and that
he should make the best of their brief
duration. Old age will creep upon
him and life will impose an increasing
burden of responsibility, and he must
gather the roses while he may be-
fore the cruel frost of custom, as
Wordsworth called it, has nipped his
budding aspiration.
Mr.. Choate, while ambassador to
England, said he had discovered that
the eighth decade of life was the best
of all. If an old man does not let
himself relapse into egotistical gar
rulity his recollections Of useful past
may be source of unfeigned pleas
ure to others as we'll as to his own
retrospective mind. It was the salts
faction of life well lived to which
Sir Walter Scott could bear testimony
to Lockhart, when the Wizard of the
North knew that the end was near.
Youth starts out on the long road
eager and hopeful, buoyant to try con-
illusions and refusing the thought Of
failure. 1t is fine thing when a man
imports into maturity and even into
old age the "indomitable soul" that
will not surrender to the years and
has not been saddened by disillusion or
by the loss Of faith in human nature.
1t is good world to live In at four
score or at the rounded century-an
even better place than 1t was when
childhood accepted without question
ing an earthly paradise.

CASEY GOT EVEN WITH BULL
Hod-carrier Chased Across Extensive

Gov. Glynn Of New York tells story
concerning one Casey. hod-carrier.
who during the summer was employed
at a country place in Westchester
county. In order TO reach the railway
station to take the train home It was
necessary for Casey to cross an ex-
tenstve field.
One evening there was bun In this
field. and 1t gave Casey a terrible
chase. He sprinted for about half a
mile and only escaped by wonderful
leap over a ffve-foot fence.
Next evening. ON his homeward
journey. Casey carried bod with
him to serve as weapon should he
again encounter the bull This time.
however. the bull was absent Only
a playful. harmless calf was In sight.
Approaching IT, the vindicttve Casey
gave It a sharp blow with his bod. at
the same time exclaiming excitedly:

FINE APPLE PUDDING
DESSERT ALWAYS A FAVoRiIE
IN ENGLISH HOUSEHOLDS.
Good Alike for the Children and ineh
EIders-Mock Apple Dumpiinss
an Easily Prepared Delicacy-
custard of Apple Snow.

Boiled apple pudding as the English
people make 1t is both nourishing and
inexpensive when apples are at all
plentiful. In fact, 1t is claimed the
pudding furnishes a perfect midday
meal for children not yet old enough
to be given meat while it is certainly
substantial dessert for everybody.
You chop four ounces of good beer
suet very fine and rub it into one
pound of flour, with teaspoonful OF
baking powder and one-quarter tea
spoonful of salt. Then you wet 1t up
with cold water into a dough, rolling
out on a well-floured board.
With this you line a buttered pud-
ding basin, reserving enough to cover
the top, and proceed to fill with ap-
pies, peeled, cored and cut into small
pieces, adding sugar to sweeten, also
a few cloves or a dust of cinnamon
as liked. When the bowl Is quite full
cover with warm water and cover Sc
curely with the paste. Dip cloth
into boiling water, sprinkle with flour,
and tie over the pudding. Take the
cord well down the bowl, bring the
four corners Of the cloth together at
the top, tie firmly and plunge into
plenty of boiling water and cook for
from two to two and one-half hours,
according to the apples used. Some
take longer to cook than others. Juicy
apples cook quickly. Hard, dry ap-
pies take longer. Serve with any
simple sauce, or, when serving for
children, pour over a little milk.
Mock Apple Dumplings.-This is a
nice dessert and one easily prepared.
You fill a deep buttered dish with
tart, juicy apples, peeled and cored.
filling the space with brown sugar.
Then you pour over a cupful Of hot
water, sweetened, and sprinkling of
cinnamon or any preferred spices.
The dish is put into slow oven or at
the back of the stove, where the ap-
pies will soften. Make biscuit crust,
using cup Of flour, one teaspoonful
of baking powder, tablespoonful of
shortening, little salt and a tea
spoonful of sugar. Mix with milk to
a very soft dough.
Pour over the softened apples and
bake until light brown. Another
way is to prepare the apples as di-
rected. cover them and bake In the
over until cooked through, then to
pour over them custard made from
one cupful Of milk, two tablespoonful
OF sugar and the yolk of an egg. This
is baked for few minutes and is
then finished off with a meringue
made from the white of the egg and
powdered sugar.
This is more delicate than the
dumplings, of course, and another
dainty dish made from apples is:
Apple Snow-You make a simple
custard as before directed and pour II
into shallow glass dish. Then you
crate sour apples, say a cupful, and
beat into 1t the white of an egg and
powdered sugar to sweeten This
mixture is laid in spoonfuls upon the
custard and dotted with whipped
cream busted with nutmeg.

is responsible in great measure for the
present low average yield of most of
our crops.
In the case of corn, this variability
of plants is particularly striking. A
large majority of the plants produce
ears of small size, irregular in shape,
and light weight, which are undesir-
able. Many of the stalks are barren
Only small proportion of the plants
produce the maximum size and weight
of ear. If every kernel produced a
uniform plant and the plants bore uni
form ears weighing one pound each.
the average yield per acre would be
about 1865 pounds. or about 155 bush
els of shelled corn per acre. The
fact that the average yield throughout
the corn belt is less than 40 bushels
per acre is striking evidence that only
a small proportion Of the plants bear
ears Of the maximum weight.

Is it that Incidence and laziness char

In production due to the use Of I'M
proved seed results in additional
profit.
During the past 10 or IL years there
has been a great awakening of inter-
est in the subject of seed selection and
breeding as applied to our great gen.
eraJ farm crops, especially corn, cot
ton, tobacco, wheat, oats and other
crops of wide distribution and cultiya-
ton. One reason for this awakening
Is that the land on which these crops
are grown has increased In value 10 q
very marked extent and it Is neces-
sary to increase the production per
acre and improve the quality Of the
crops in order to make farming profit
able. In high priced land 1t Is neces-
sary to grow more productive crops
than formerly If one is to make rea-
sonable profit on the present invest
ment.
Another reason for the awakened
interest in seed selection and breed
ing lies in the fact that in the Sec
tons where crops have been grown
for a considerable time the varieties
produced on these lands year after
year, where no seed selection or
breeding has been practiced, have
tended to run out and become I'M
profitable. In addition to the running
out of varieties under conditions of
continuous propagation without breed
ing, fungeous diseases and insect enc
mics, frequently develop to such an
extent that. unless resistant or i'm
mune varieties are secured by seed
selection and breeding, the growing of
these crops Is either carried on with
small return to the growers or has
to be abandoned.
The most important field for the
breeders work is in the Improvement
of the established varieties of crops
by the production Of strains approx
mating more uniformity to the best
types of these varieties. This lack of
uniformity in high productive capacity
