ENGLISH MIXED GRILL
FINE DISH FOR ANY OF THE
LIGHTER MEALS.
Recipe That viii Provide Sufficient
= for Three Persons-Devonshire
Cream Another Idea We Owe
to English Housewives.

A mixed grill Is very popular IN Eng
land for luncheon, but it would be as
good as a light dinner or supper.
The following recipe makes enough
for three persons: Three lamb chops,
one-half pound of sausages, four KID
neys, two tomatoes and half pound
OF mushrooms. Grill the chops
sausages and kidneys together, slice
the tomatoes and fry with the mush-
rooms The mushrooms and the tona-
toes should not be cooked long enough
for the slices of tomatoes to lose their
shape. Arrange the meat on a platter
lay the vegetables around the edge
garnish with parsley and serve NO
gravy should be used with this dlsh,
not even the juice from the mush-
rooms and tomatoes, or the flavor will
be spoiled and the grill will look messy
and unappetizing.
Try this recipe some time when you
have few sausages or kidneys lett
over from some meal, and you VIII
find that you have new and excellent
dinner dish with very little trouble or
expense.
Devonshire Cream.-This Is just as
delicious as 1t sounds and far less ex-
pensive In fact, 1t isn't really cream
at all. although no one would ever
know that unless she were told, for 1t
tastes like an exceptionally rich, thick
cream 1t is used everywhere IN Eng
land, as it will keep for several days
in a cool place and does not need TO
be kept on ice. Ice in Great Britain Is
a decided luxury. and not the DAILY
necessity that it has become in Amer-
ca, but even though the iceman comes
daily to your door and your fresh
cream will keep sweet for day or
two you may find jar Of rich Dew

ROY II. WAITE.

The warm weather Of the summer
months Is particularly favorable to
the growth of insect pests OF poultry
and especially to the red mite which
annoys the birds while on the roosts
This creature not only irritates the
birds by marching around on their
bodies. but he bites a hole In the skin
and sucks the blood. This is why he
is red in the morning after his nights
feed and is why he is given the name
red mite"
It is no great trouble to subdue
these pests if one keeps after them.
As they stay in the house during the
day hiding under the roosts and in tie
cracks we find 1t simple matter to
keep them In check and to destroy
them if the treatment is kept up regu'
larly. Painting the roosts and nests
with kerosene oil once week while
the house Is infested and once month
thereafter will keep flock free from
their ravaSes.

e Good Hay Crop
is a Money Getter
Can Be Insured BY Up.To-Dats
Methods OF Soil Preparation
and Seeding.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
- Station.

Compared with wheat, the value pei
acre of the hay crop in this State is
higher and practically equal to that
of corn, yet the methods commonly en-
ployed in producing the crop are no
different now from what they were so
years ago.
AS a result the yield of the hay dur
Ing this time has remained practically
the same while the quality if anything
has deteriorated.
The remedy for this condition is
simple. 1t is to be found in change
of cultural methods. Instead of seed
ing timothy in the fall with wheat, and
adding clover In the early spring. the
wheat should be seeded without the
grass, and after harvest, the stubbles
should be plowed down and timothy
and clover seeded without a nurse
crop. There is no better time for do
Ing this than the latter part of July
or early August In the mountain sec
lions to early September in the south.
ern and eastern counties of the State.
II the seeding cannot be done during
or before early September, then the
clover should be left out as 1t is very
apt to winter kill if seeded later.
To be successful the land should he
plowed as early as possible, and work
ed into a fine, firm seed bed. When
seeded under such conditions full!
crops of first class hay free from
weeds may be expected the following
season The yield will be enough
higher over seeding the old way, to
pay for the extra labor in preparing
the land. What is more, the second
season the crop will be much better
than If 1t had been seeded In wheat
A good rate Of seeding is timothy, 8
to ~ pounds red clover. 6 to s pounds,
and red top, 2 to pounds.
II red clover is not doing we'll on
the farm then 4 to pounds of alsike
clover should be substituted for the
red clover.
The seed may be mixed together
and sown through the grass seeding
attachment Of the wheat drill, or other
devices for seeding grass, but the
stand of clover will be little mo- o
uniform if it is sown separate, The
seed should always be covered lightly
with spike tooth harrow, weeder or
brush drag.

crops from destruction by insects-an
accomplishment quite within our
power.
Since the curculio and coddling
moth are probably responsible for over
80 per cent of all blemished and
windfall apples caused by insects
against which sprays are used. the
subject is one deserving careful study
by every successful apple grower.
In controlling the aforementioned
as well as other insects. apple grow
ers should apply their arsenical sprays
at times when they will be Of the
greatest possible service. There is
limit to the number of sprays which
can be profitably applied, especially
since in many cases 1t Is also neces.
sary to give separate sprayings OF
fungicides at times when no tnsectl-
eide is required and wise versa, For
instance 1t Is generally conceded that
spraying with fungicide is neces-
sary before the opening OF the apple
bloom. for the purpose OF reducing
apple scab, though the addition Of an
arsenical at that time can have no
effect in destroying the larvae Of the
coddling moth and little. If any. value
against the curculio. Again, sprays OF
Bordeaux mixture, when used late in
the season at the time of the appear
ance OF bitter-rot are given at time
too late to be Of much value In pre-
venting damage from either OF these
two insects.
A very important spraying Is the
one just as the blossoms begin to
show the pink. At that time we get
the two kinds of canker worms, bud
moth, leaf roller, aphis and curculio.
But the most important spraying Is
the one for the coddltng moth. just
after the petals fall and after the bees
have stopped working on the blossoms
at that spraying we try to get poison
into the calyx Of every apple. 1t Is
generally understood that eggs are
laid on the leaf while the blossoms are
open. In a short time the eggs hatch
and the worm takes bite or two
from the leaf, then crawls into the
calyx to eat and burrow into the young
apple. But with the poison in the

The mixer interested In pure.

This suit need not be white one, but
such a one has the advantages of at
