Satisfy, sometimes called vegetable
oyster, is one of the neglected vege-
tables. True, it is grown in a good
many gardens, and We frequently see
1t on sale in the windows OF vegeta-
BILE dealers in the cities in the win
der.
But the fact that so few grow it in
the country for home use, fully wan
rants one in calling II neglected
vegetable.
presume that the neglect is due
to a lack OF knowledge Of the merits
of the plant. I feel sure that famili-
arity with 1t on the part OF the house
wife would soon make it standby In
the family menu, and that it would
take its place with the parsnip and
the beet in the list OF the desirable
garden vegetables.
I have to admit that I prefer 1t to
the oyster, whose flavor it has hint
of with all the disagreeable features
of the bivalve flavor left out Of 1t.
It can be cooked in many ways. AS
a soup, served with croutons of bread
.or with crackers, 1t is delicious. Fried
either by itself or in batter it is
quite as appetizing as the real oyster
when cooked in that way. Boiled

FOR OUNCE PRESERVE
THIs FRUIT REQUIRES ESPECIAL
PREPARATION.
Natural Quality Requires That They
Should Be Boiled and Steamed
Before They Are Put Into
the Sirup.

Jus. as soon as ounces turn yellow
they are ready for preserving. 1t
might be said at the start that ounces
require boiling or steaming before be-
ing put into the sirup. differing from
the usual order of preserving.
This is because they are u very
h:-d fruit, and the hot sugar only
tends 20 make them harder. To pro-
:oed: r,:", core, and quarter the
L.. drusn;.g into cold water to
preser. the c,:;C". Put skins and
cores into :. scparate vessel.
When all are l.rt?ared put two lay
ers or 80 into the kettle ari cover
with cold water. Cook over slow
fire until tender. Take out carefully.
and when all are cooked. strain the
water and allow three-quarters OF a
pound of sugar to one pint of juice.
Cook for ten minutes. skimming
until the sirup is clear, then put In as
much fruit as it will cover. Simmer
very gently for half an hour, or if
the ounces turn red before this they
are ready to be removed to the jars.
Let the sirup cook little longer, then
pour over the fruit and seal the jars.
Ounces Preserved With Apples
Sweet apples should be used. The
two fruits make a delicious preserve.
and will cost less than the ounces
alone. The proportions are one-third
of quartered appless to twc-thirds OF
ounce The appless will take less
time to cook than the ounces, both in
the water and In the sirup. In filling
the Jars, put alternate layers of the
fruit and pour boiling sirup over, seal
ing at once.
Ounces With Cider and Molasses.-
This is a favorite southern recipe. The
fruit is to be pared, cored and halVed,
then boiled in sweet cider until tender.
Take out and add to the liquid one
quart of molasses and one pound of
sugar to FIVE pounds Of ounces.
Beat up the white of an egg and put
into the sirup to clear it, bringing to
a boil and skimming until quite
clear. Take of the fire, and wheL
half cold put in the fruit and boil
for fifteen minutes. More cider may
be added If necessary. A little green
ginger boiled In the sirup Is an i'm
provement
Ounce Marmalade.-Cores, peel and
imperfect fruit can be made into a
marmalade or a cheese. After thor.
oughly cooking the fruit strain
through sieve and allow three-Quar-
ters Of q pound Of sugar to one pound
of fruit Boil, stirring constantly un-
til smooth and firm, then pack tie
jars. A little orange peel chopped fine
will add to the flavor.
Ounce Cheese-This is made by
cooking the marmalade until 1t Is very
thick. II packed into small Jars It
can be tur:ed out and may be cut like
cheese.
Ounce Water Ice.-Tc make this uu-
usual confection, pare and cut into
thin slices three large ounces. Cover
with four cupfuls Of water and one
of sugar. Bring all to boil, keeping
a. that temperature for fifteen min
utes. Strain and put into the freezer.

tire summer, although pastures in that
locality were dry as bone by August
10. This herd of COWS and calves
would have Jared badly on SO acres
Of pasture, in fact, it Is doubtful If
the animals could have been brought
through the summer on pasture alone,
to say nothing of keeping up the milk
flow.
OF course, it took some extra work
to cut UP the crops the entire summer,
but the experiment is accounted entire
ly successful, for 1t showed that there
was saving of at least 40 acres of
ground. 1t is not hard to estimate the
returns for the work Of cutting and
feeding the soiling crops on this place
when you take into consideration the
many possibilities of 40 acres Of land
saved.
For instance, If only SIX dollars net
per acre could be obtained from this
land. the owners of the farm earned
1894 by feeding the COWS soiling
crops. No grain was fed at all during
the summer, but each cow produced
an average Of fivo pounds per week,
and this found ready market in the
county seat town at from one to three
cents above the highest retail store
prices.
In addition to the advantage Of this
method of soiling which enables the
M
COWS than by the old-fashioned pas
ture system, it also enables them to
retain for the farm the fertility, most
of which had been hitherto lost.
The extra work Of cutting and feed
ing the soiling crops made some
pretty busy times during the fruit
harvest, but this lasted only q few
days at a time. and was quickly
bridged over.

Two young farmers, McDonough
county, Illinois-"book farmers" both
one of them a graduate from the
Illinois College of Agriculture and the
other having attended some short
courses at the college for five years
were left with an S0-acre farm on
which was an orchard of ITS apple
trees, about 200 cherry and plum trees.
The orchard was badly run down,
but has been brought up to pretty
nearly full bearing during the past
five years. The farm was used for
general crops, mostly corn, and ten
acres in pasture.
Three years ago these young men
concluded to go into dairying on a
concentrated scale, using their knowl-
edge gained at the agricultural col
Iege and from their observation Of the
work along these lines done by some
OF their relations in Wisconsin.
They plowed up most of the pasture
and put it into soiling crops with
%hlcn to feed their cows during the
summer. In June there were 20 calves
to be accounted for, and this entire
bunch Of stock was fed from April Is
to September Is on the following
acres:
One and one-half acres of fall rye;
four acres of oats, sowed at intervals
Of two weeks apart; two and one-half
acres Of millet; one acre of early sor.
ghum; one-half acre of late sorghum,
and one and cne-half acres of corn.
The II acres lasted until new silage
was ready. They have one silo which
holds about 40 tons, and will erect
another this year of equal capacity.
The sorghum and corn are run
through cutter before being fed. The
milk flow was kept up during the en-

NEW USE FOR ALFALFA.

found new use for alfalfa in tanning
leather with the juice extracted from

been experimenting with the barks
from trees and the various plants and
herbs native 10 the plains country
Of Texas and Oklahoma that would be
equal to the oak bark for tanning, but
never found anything until he began
experimenting with alfalfa.
He says that alfalfa not only Is
equal TO any OF the barks or acids
used In tanning, but Is far better.
McWhirtic has several sides OF leather
on exhibition In Sentinel that he
tanned with his new alfalfa juice pro-
cess, and the works looks to be extra
good He is going TO have several
