To Cook Squash

Lots of good cooks have the notion there Is but one way of cooking pumpkin and summer squash. They stew and mash squash and eat it as vegetable and make pumpkins into pie. Squash pies, let me say right here, are better than the coarser pumpkin, t2 my way of thinking. Really young squash and pumpkins are good when fried before the rind gets tough and the seeds too old. l especially mean the summer crooked-necked and patty pan squash. You need not peel them. just roll in flour and fry in hot fat. Mush- rooms are also good when made like oys- ter soup; as is canned salmon. Navy beans and canned or fresh corn are good prepared like oyster soup with cream in it. S. H..
 May I contribute another way of cook ing summer squash. Pare off the rind, take out the seeds and cut into inch squares. Cook tender in salted water, drain carefully, and serve with rich drawn butter sauce poured over 1t. Let 1t stand 10 minutes over hot water and send to table. Vegetable marrow is de- licious prepared in the same manner. When you speak of making mushrooms into soup, you refer to the canned. I sup pose? I wish you had told us how this is done Are they not somewhat insipid unless qualified" by butter and other seasoning? oysters have a distinctive

English Jams

T see in the Corner that Mrs. w. J. B. would like to know how to make jams as it is done in England. I am English l send the recipe by which l have made much. Two years ago I made $50 profit from jams and marmalade and gave the none yto missionary society. l am won- dering if l brought out small cook book, say to sell at 9 cents, 1t would sell? How could I get it published? Many persons have asked me how to make buildings and other dishes. For strawberries, rasp- berries, entrants, and other sweet fruits l allow three-quarters of a pound of sugar to every pound of fruit; no water. Boil fruit and sugar together slowly for 50 minutes. Seal when cool. I shall be glad to send recipes of jams and marmalades, or any English dish, to any one who will send me a stamped and self addressed en- velope for reply. N. D..
 I reckoned shrewdly upon the compe- tency and generosity of our English born members. We have had two recipes in reply to the call for jam as they do at home" and confidently expect more. Write cook book and offer to publisher. There is no other way of bringing it to the mo- tice of the public.

Editor Pigg, of the Arcadia
Valley Enterprise made a very
brilliant fight against the single
tax proposition. And when the
revolutionary measure was beat
en- by 42l, 400 votes we imagined
that he would feel ra-assured,
and be ready to take up the next
question. However, we find him
in the ranks of those, who for
the sake of mutilating the poor
old single-tax corpse are willing
to abridge the peoples liberty to
initiate Legislation. Missourians
have nothing to gain by walking
on the face of the single-tax
corpse; they surrender part of
their liberty when they vote in
favor of Amendment No. 1. We
still advise our readers to vote
against No. l, because we regard
it as q stroke from ambush at
popular government.-Pisdmont

Farm Facts.

Where there is a silo there is
prosperity.
There is not enough OF the
community spirit among our rur
al districts.
The laws relating to business
are wholly unsuited to the trans
actions of the farmer.
The waste of effort through
impractical methods of farming
is the greatest tragedy of the
age.
Something is wrong in our
marketing system when a small
crop brings more money than a
bountiful one.
Cooperation between practical
farmers and proficient business
men will eliminate ignorance and
prejudice.
The nations menu must be
made up from the fields, pas
lures, orchards snd gardens, and
to farm intelligently the farmer
must know what is needed.
We must give the same care
and consideration to a system OF
cooperative laws, extending to
the farmer the facilities adapted
to his business that is now afford
ed corporations.
Farm tenancy is the greatest
menace now confronting the ma
ton and can only be checked by
affording the tenant and the la
borer facilities for acquiring
property and by reducing the
high rates of interest which are
now sapping the vitality of agri
culture.
Under the present system OF
marketing farm products, it is
possible and often occurs, thai
people in one part of the Uuited
States literally starve for the

Frost Ip Three Weeks.

will be an early fall this year and
that the first frost will come in
three weeks. These are the
signs on which he bases his

Don't Vote 1t Blind.

Having always lived in the
country we know the attitude of
country voters toward constitu-
tional amendments. No matter
how we'll educated or how intel
ligent the average rural citizen
may be, if there is a bad amend
ment offered that he is eager to
kill he will swat" the whole
bunch. There may be other
amendments offered that he 10
almost equally eager to see car
nv, but for fear of making a mis-
take he votes against every one
and goes out from the booth with
a virtuous feeling of having done
his duty. This practice cannot
be too strongly condemned. 1t
doesn't show intelligence and it
isn't good citizenship. No man
will vote against every man on
the ticket because one rascal
happens to ba in line. Neither
should he vote against something
else of real merit because it is
necessarily in bad company. The
man who is the right kind OF a
citizen will read every. amend
ment carefully and vote upon
them intelligently. And the ru-
raj voter should lead the process
sion,-Missouri Ruralist.

etts girl-Mary Elizabeth Saw
yer. A young student named
Rawlson followed Mary and her
lamb to school one day. A few
days later Mary received three
verses of the poem from Raw]son
who died soon after. The fleece,
as white as snow,'' was woven
into stockings by Mary's moth
er. Mary kept the stockings
until she became an old lady. In
order to raise funds toward saw
ing tie Old South Church of Bos-
ton, the stockings were unrayel-
ed and pieces gummed to cards
and sold.
