pounds Of butter, one quart Of water.
two teaspoonfuls Of pearl ash, two
teaspoonfuls of salt and one ounce
of caraway seed. These were baked in
four inch squares, then frosted and
marked with the initials Of the ''de-

Real Joy Of Farm Owning.

a great estate over which I ride once

would be great fun in this. No; like

and plant and spray and trim and
prune. To be sure, he does more than
his share Of the rough work, and much
Of the year must be cultivattng other
kinds of fields than those that grow
cabbages and turnips, but the fun Of
farming comes from being real farm
er while you are one, getting close to
the soil, becoming intimate with every
living thing. whether it be a plant or
animal; loving your tomato vines and
raspberry bushes, taking a real pride
in your elephants and your brussels

them at the county fair or not-Rev.
