Roasting Potatoes

ITO my taste there is no better way of cooking a fine. ripe potato than roast ing it. But do readers know that the skin peels away from the inside more easily if the potato be greased all over before. it is cooked? As the mealiest part of the potato lies next the skin, the req son of this will commend itself to all Roast none but fine, fully ripe potatoes and grease the skins well before putting them into the oven. When they are done, wrap in your napkin to keep from burn ing the fingers and knead gently to in- duce mealiness. Then tear off the skin gingerly and you have the pearl of the edible tnber. JANET B."

Peach Cobbler

"rhe peach cobber Is an old and time honored dish, and it is unfortunate that it has been so little known. My wife makes 1t so that it melts in the mouth. and she says this is the way 1t Is made one quart of flour, four tablespoons of baking powder MiN witE sweet milk, as you would biscuit dongh. and roll thin Line a pudding dish or dripping pan about 9xlS inches tfor thls quantityb with this crust. Sprinkle over with mixture of three tablespoons of flour and two tablespoons of sugar. Then pour in three pints of fresh peaches, or canned peaches may take the place, and sprinkle over them one coffee cup of sugar. Wet the edges with little flour and water mixed, put on the upper crust, press the edges firmly together Make two open rgs in the upper crust by cutting two ncisions at right angles an inch in length. each opening about half way be- tween the middle and the end. Bake hall an hour in a quick oven. And small wine glass of sherry before putting on the upper crust The same directions (omitting the sherry) will make dehc- ious plum, apple pear or other fruit cohbler, my wife says, and she knows.
 Thank you.

Old Weather Signs

will you tell us if there be truth in certain weather signs we hear quoted con tinually by sensible people? For instance; Rain before clear before Ii. It Is a dry moon. The hunter could hang his horn on the point of the crescent. The sun went down behind a bank of cloud. There will be rain before 2i hours. Mares tails and curdled sky. never go 24 hours dry. When yon see a pig run with straw in his mouth it is a sign of rain. When the leaves turn wrong side up it is a sign of falling weather. When mois- ture collects thickly upon the outside of q glass of cold water it is a sign of falling weather. Don't you think 1t is time to drop all such beliefs? This Is q scientific, not superstitious age. What do we want with relics of generation when charms to keep off the evil eye were practiced and witches were burned at the stakee Why watch the moon and the mare's tail to learn what tomorrow's weather will be when a glance at the fci coast of the weather bureau will tell the truth? I omitted one sure and cer- tain sign of falling weather, My grand aunt has rnore confidence in the shooting pains in her corns as presages of wet weather than in all the ebserNatories hA the world Please let us hear what one intelligent, up-to-date person thinks ol these matters. CAROLINE M Ii.
 Taking your signs in order. The [ o'clock rain Is often the passing by or clouds that have gathered in the night. The rising and warming sun dlspels them before noon. The Try moon is North American superstituton. When the cres- cent moon lay at an angle that would allow the hunter to hang his horn upon the point, or as we say would hold water it was safe to set out upon hunting expedition. The bank" at sun set is the gathering of clouds that might be dispersed by the sun in the day. The stead Mares tails and a curdled Cor rackereD sky denote atmospheric condi- tions likely to bring rain The pig and straw may mean nothing. Yet animals show their apprehension of coming storm by running wildly about with their heads in the air. The leaves of certain tees turn the under and more sensitive side up to drink in the moisture they de- tect before we see the clouds Aldrich speaks of this as one of the presages of a change of weather in his poem, We Knew It Would Rain" The shooting corn betokes damLness which is felt more read fly by the diseased part of the body than by healthy members 1 wish our scientific readers would set me right If l am wrong
 in hesitating to condemn in totto the cherished weather signs of nerations which preceded ours. The subject is in- teresting and my treatment of it 1eces- sarily superficial.

Amazing Growth in Population


 The population of continental United States will be within million of 100000 600 by July l, 1914, according to the official estimate of the Census Bureau. This marks an increase of 100000 since the census of 1910. By the same estimate the population of the United States and it's possessions by next July will be 109,000,000. New York City shows remarkable fn- crease in the past four years-566, 654-an amount greater than the entire popula- ton of any but the first five cities of the United States in 1910. Were New York able to include all the inhabitants in the metropolitan area--the Westchester su- burbs and the New Jersey cities-it would then have an estimated population of G. 50O,0OO compared with London's 7,250.000.
