IN A GIRDLE OF GARDENS
Beautiful German City Of Frankfort
Compels the Admiration OF
All Visitors.

Can the new world learn from the
mistakes of the old? 1t Is a question
one is constantly asking, says the Chi
cago Examiner. A thousand years and
more ago, when the houses began to
spring up beneath the shelter OF a
castle, and these for further protec-
ton were girded by walls, 1t was not
possible to foresee the modern city
with its teeming millions
We are free. We are free to DELHI
crate, to choose. to plan for long
generations ahead. We are under OBJ
legations to plan for posterity. Op-
portunity confers obligation.
1t is interesting to contrast one of
the Oldest cities in Europe with one of
the newest; Frankfort, in Germany,
with Letchworth, In England.
The medieval Frankfort grew up on
the foundation Of an old Roman settle.
ment. In the twelfth century 1t de-
manded for itself more space and
ramparts were erected. Streets today
run the course of those ramparts. In
one OF them 1t may be mentioned In
passing. Goethe was born.
In the fourteenth century Frankfort
mad to be enlarged again--its walls
built round wider circumference. In
the nineteenth century it's walls were
broken down. The land on which for
tifcations had stood became public
gardens; or. If sold to individuals, car
ried with 1t the stipulation that on a
given area only one building should be
erected, leaving the remainder for
garden.
This is the explanation Of the belt
OF public and private gardens by
which Frankfort is surrounded the
pride of her citizens, the surprise and
delight Of all visitors.

An oyster stew is perhaps one Of the
most popular dishes, yet it is too often
served with the oysters over or under
cooked. One Of the best ways of in.
suring proper cooking is to drop them
into boiling water and cook them a
minute after the edges curl, then re,
move them to the tureen; add butter
and salt to them and rich milk to the
boiling water; when scalding hot pour
over the oysters. A cupful Of water

COOKED FEED FOR THE HOGS
Practice Has Been Largely Abandoned
Because Digestibiity Has Been Re-
duced-Potato Is Exception.

(By G. r. SAMPSON. Oregon Agricultur-
al College)
Cooking feed for swine has been
largely abandoned, since the digesti-
bility of most feeds Is diminished by
cooking. The potato seems to be an
execution to this rule. When cheap
enough to be fed to pigs, potatoes will
stand the expense of cooking and pay
a profit IL installing equipment does
not make too large proportion OF the
feed cost At the present time one
hardly seems justified in installing an
EXPENSIVE cooker for potatoes, since
ordinarily potatoes are more valuable
for human than for pig feed. Other
crops also usually furnish more nu.
trients at less cost per acre than pc.
tatoes Steaming is more desirable
than boiling potatoes, since the pur-
pose of cooking Is to decrease the wa
ter content and burst the starch cells
II potatoes are boiled the water
should be drawn off and the potatoes
left over the fire long enough to give
them dry and mealy appearance.

Uniformity in the time Of milking
and order of milking will have the
best effect on the cows.
Get ready for winter weather and do
not wait until it is upon you before
fixing up the poultry houses.
