LIMITED FARMING.

Dear Editor and Corner Friends.- Perhaps the majority of flower lovers will say in the fall will not bother to take up all of the plants and then feel sorry and take them up one by
 Last year there was late petunia Drawing the cold nights and I trans ferred 1t to a fruit can, for that took only small space. It thrived and threatened, but, no buds came until early spring; let it remain in the can and for six months there were blossoms numbering 36 sometimes. After our tulips this spring had greeted us and gone to rest for an- other year, I sowed corn over thei,. heads in the bed; when it was two feet high we began cutting for the biddies, and when the last was util- ized a crop of oats was grown, which finished the season.
 4 thrifty vine grows all over one side and over the top of the hen house. pleasing te behold and reducing the temperature inside very much dur ing summer weather. This fall I placed board up against the side and the bullets learned to walk the plank, enjoying .picnics upon the leaves on their roof garden.
 A friend gave me some Towering beans, but where could I find some poles. Our sunflowers were about 8 inches high, sos I tucked the beans in around them and they grew oak-tres and vine fashion.
 Silas' Wife. Glad to learn you're feeling well. and that you dropped those city corns. We are waiting to hear if Silas foun' any red ears at the country corn husking.
 While making moIasses candy one day thought as I stirred it, Why is boiling molasseS like thief?
 Must think of others, space as well as gardening is limited.

sI PASSED AROUND CHOCOLATES
 AND GOT BoNEsET

Editor and Sisters of the Social Cor ner: Dear Friends-I found by SatIir- days Bulletin the editor had not sent my letter to the waste basket, so as I sald would continue about the f1usklng Bee, just thought I would Silas and went to those air grange meetings and one night a man got up and said, said he, I invite you ali 70 my home to a corn husking. Now Sl was so ticlSled- he did not know what 10 do. He clapped his hands till l. said, Set down! Don't make a fool or yourself!' and down he sat.
 Well, the night arrived and so had the weather it turned right around rom summer to winter, and so cold: put we bundled up and Silas brought down his old butternut overcoat q col ored 1t myself and 1t did not take real even guess. my die want strong enough1 but told Si it was good and warm and night time so the streaks would not show. Well, we got to tbe starting point and waited a whole half hour for the rest. But we got started at last and when We got to the end of our car ride there were three large wagons with two horses on them. I was disappointed in not finding oxen there for thought those ought to % with a Husking Bee.
 SItch a picnic as these air girls had getting in those wagons. High wagons s-tHS @AesS4S ea&AtAL@ tzisE1 R9DLh IOR6IhGT but Sila9 held g. chair, and such a scrabble It was well it was dark. for had 1t not been yea %t 5:l;S haze seer the color hose that trey all wore. Af- ter they got started Sisas Ssgan r,esg- ing around peanuts, ez.G I said to Mary who sat next to me:
 So you like peanuts, do you? She said: Why, yes, Mrs. Cram. and am very fond e chocolate dropsI"
 had bought pound of the incest chocolate drops and paid 50 cents 9 pound; and Silas had found them and was giving them to the girls. Want mad! We'll made. up my mind he would hear from me, too!
 We arrived at the house where the Bee was to be and such-a colored Aunt Sallie met us and made us welcome There was a tall hired man in over allS and jumper that flew around moved, the threslling machine out oi the barn, swept it all out nice, and SilaS wanted to hire him right away from the other man. I thought il would be real nice till heard wo- man say he was an undertaken thai settled 1t. q don't want them around only when we have to.)

and girls when the red ears were found.
 After they got through shening and huszing they went in to eat, and they had oyster stew and apple pie and cheese and doughnuts and cider; and they all drank the cider, but they all were going to bring pumpkin pies and when they opened the bundles all had forgotten and brought apples: but then apple pie is cheapest. l brought ap- pie pie. too. So could not say noth- ing.
 After they got warm they started for the barn to dance 6those that did not start home) and such a time danc- ing I just made up my mind I was going to dance money musk and I did and when I came to swing my op- posite partner little man thought he could swing me, but oh my. T bet his head was dizzy when sat him down on the floor, for they said they ex- pected to see his shoes come flying off
 After that dance was so out of breath could not draw a long one for a long time, so sat still and watched Silas go it. As he passed me said @I think you have danced enough with those girls,' and he turned and looked at me and said: Don't give me any taffyi"
 chocolate drops for the next month! 2 He said nothing. but knew he thought.
 Well, in the wee small hours we started for home. I knew all had a good time, but we all took cold (and dosed Siias with boneset tea till he had all he wanted).
 We all got home all right and SiIas declared he had the time of his life, and I should say he had for picked off Is different colored hairs from his coat, although he only kissed one. and that was me, he said; but cannot finish without giving a word of ad- vice.
 First. if yor want good time join the Grange.
 Second. don't have a Huslxing Bee unless you want your corn husked and shelled.
 Third, let out all your hens and call in the hens of your neighbors if you don't want corn field to grow ur at your barn door in the spring.
 Goodbye!

OATMEAL BREAD RECIPE FOR
 J. EFT.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: I have been thinking I would write a line since I read the roll call-did not realize was member of such a large sisterhood.
 Perhaps I might write oftener, but am like Aunt Abbie. rather read than. write for others to read. Your letters are all SO interesting and helpful am afraid mine might not prove so.
 Was, very much pleased with Silas but think 1t was really too bad he did not let Miranda go to VoIuntown in- stead.
 I send some tested recipes which am sure you will like if you try them.
 Grape Conserve-One basket Con- cord grapes, one pound raisins, one or ange, one-quarter pound nut meats two pounds sugar; work pulp of grapes and sift; chop skins with raisins, or ange and nut meats and cook all until thick as desired. being careful not to let burn.
 currie PiekIe-Six tablespoons cur rie powder, three of mustard, three of four. one pound sugar and one quart vinegar; cook until it thickens and when cool pour over cauliflower which has been cooked tender in salted wa. ter. Small cucumber pickles may be added.
 Oatmeal Bread for J.. E. T-Pour two cups boiling water over one cup rolled oats and let stand until cool; add one yeast cake, one-haIf cup short ening, one-quarter cup molasses, salt and flour enough to make batter. Let rise over night: in morning add flour enough to knead into loaves and let rise in pans and bake like wheat bread. I ncan vouch for this. as I make 1t o&en.
 Crimson Rambler: Your story of the Mike apple reminded me of one of the same apple told me as child when I sat under a Mike tree and cut apples by the peck to find the drop of blood
 Married and Happy: Read your let- tel with interest. 1t must be very pleasant flor the Sisters who know who is Who.n I, too, have written Mrs. before my name half my life and eight years more. and am not three times 15 before half of 1915 has rolled away. God Sparing our lives, we shall have celebrated our silver wedding.
 So much has been written on how to manage a husband. Don't the Sis- terS think it in order to write tF5ow a Husband Should Manage a Patient Wife?" s
 suppose all the Sisters will be: busy until after Christmas: but hope they will find time for line for The Corr ner.
 Best wishes to alI
