How to Make Frumenty.


One Of the old time d~eiicacies In Eng
land was furmante, frumenty or fur
menty.
According to the most ancient formu-
Ia extant it was concocted In the fol
lowing manner Take clean wheat
and bray it in a mortar. that the bulls
be all gone of. and seethe it till it
burst. and take it up and let 1t cool;
and take clean fresh broth and sweet
milk Of almonds or sweet milk Of kline
and temper it all; and take the yolks
of eggs. Boil it a little and set 1t down
and mess it forth with fat venison or
fresh mutton"
Venison was seldom served without
this accompaniment. but frumenty,
sweetened with sugar. "a a favorite
dish of itself. the clean broth" being
omitted when a lord was to be the par
taker.

the mince pie as early as 1896. They

Actions and Words.

An Italian psychologist maintains
that as an orators gestures are invol-
untary, they afford a test Of his sin
certify.
For instance. il the speaker plays
with his watch chain he Is on his
guard and his utterances are not en-
tirely frank.
Should he sway his body from side
to side it is a sign Of versatility and
of an active mind, while a constant
repetition of the same gesture is held
to Indicate that his heart Is in the sub
ject and that he is sincere.
There would seem to be some incon-
sistency in this. since the orator might
fiddle with his watch chain every few
minutes.
The idea recalls the remark of a wit.

Alfalfa makes an ideal pasture crop
for hogs and poultry, and if properly
managed, is satisfactory for horses.
mules, sheep and cattle and some
farmers have had experience with
bloating of cattle and sheep as wei
as other classes OF stock. The exact
conditions which cause this trouble
have not been we'll determined, but
the danger appears to be the greatest
when the growth is rankest, when no
other feed is given to the stock, when
the stock are turned in when hungry,
and when the are allowed to eat all
they want when the alfalfa is wet with
dew or rain. 1t is we'll for farmers
to be cautious about turning cattle
and sheep into a good growth of al
falfa.
To avoid danger OF bloat. an eX
cellent way to feed alfalfa is to NOW
it and allow it to wilt short time
before seeding. When fed in this way
there is a larger yield of forage and
no loss from bloat. Alfalfa has a
laxative effect especially when fed
green or if wet with dew, and for
this reason it always gives best re-
suits when fed with some grain or
dry fodder Corn or barley meal are
found to re a good mixture to feed
with alfalfa hay.
Another thing to remember Is that
alfalfa is not well suited 10 Stand close
cropping and the tramplng or stock
will injure it. 1t should not be pas
tured the first year and never so late
in the fall as to force the plants TO GO
through the winter with the crowns
exposed, because in this condition they
are apt to be winter killed

alfalfa. if seeded with some OF the

ture. The seeding alone of a large
acreage at the first attempt is not re-
commended, as the risk Of failure in
the hands of the Inexperienced grow
er is too great, but the alfalfa seed
should be mixed with the regular
seeding Of clover and should also be
seeded alone on a small acreage and
this increased from year to year until
the desired acreage is secured.
Alfalfa is a leguminous plant, and

able to take its supply Of nitrogen

proves the soil in the same way clover
does. However, after the alfalfa has
been seeded in the field for several
years and the nitrogen content of the
soil increased by the decay Of roots,
nOduieS, stubble, and leaves, the crop
will feed on the nitrateS madef rom

The wedding took place in Lincoln

after the marriage ceremony to the
bridegroom's residence and dispersed,
some to ramble in the garden and
others to rest in the house till the
dinner hour. But the bridegroom was
suddenly summoned away by a do

was of the poor bride at this mex
