The term sandwich today does not
mean simply filling placed between
slices of bread. Ii may be pastry filled
with jellies, jams or sweet pastes, sponge
cakes lined with delicious mixtures, puff
pastry with dried fruits and juices, or
bread and biscuits filled with savory
mixtures. Every season some novelty
is added to the list
Day-old bread is best for sandwiches,
unless they are to be rolled or folded !;
in that case, bread not older than six
hours must be used. Butter should be
creamed to remove all moisture, and the
crusts removed from the loaf before it
is cut into slices. To cream the butter,
place it in bowl and work with sill
yer fork until it is smooth and creamy
Drain off the liquid that will collect in
the bottom, then with a knife spread
the slices evenly and thinly. When
mayonnaise dressing is used with the
filling, butter may be omitted.
The most economical way to serve
sandwiches, and one which does not
detract from their attractive appearance,
is to cut the slices of bread into strips,
triangles or halves. There will be no
waste as when they are cut into diamond,
heart or other fancy shapes, requiring
cutters.
When meats are chopped, it is wise
to mix them with boiled or mayonnaiSe
dressing, or with creamed butter, before
spreading. This will prevent the fine
pieces of meat from spilling out when
served When serving lettuce sand
witches, clean the lettuce several hours
before, tying the wet lettuce in cheese
cloth square to absorb the moisture,
then hang in cool place.
The seasoning of the various mixtures
is as much an art as making the sand
witches. A little mustard improves the
flavor of boiled ham or tongue. Horse

radish will be an addition to roast beef I;
tomato catsup, capers, olives and cold
mint sauce to lamb. Minced celery or
celery salt will season chicken or veal
delciously, and for all fish filings lit
tie lemon juice should be used. Onion
juice or minced onion, chives or tiny
filling For hard-boiled eggs add chopped
pimentoes, or mince the small olives
stuffed with red peppers, known as
pimolas. Chopped parsley is popular
and will flavor any meat or fish sand
witches. Be careful not to use too much.
Cucumbers and cabbage may be used
with mayonnaise, but they must, like
lettuce, be placed between the bread
only a short time before serving, or they
will lose the crispness which is their
most desirable feature. The cucumbers
must be cut into shaving-like slices, and
the cabbage may be either shredded or
chopped. Watercress and nasturtium
foliage are not as much used as they
should be- Both combine nicely with
meat, fish and fowl
When necessary to make sandwiches
several hours before using, omit the
fresh foliage filings, like lettuce. Wrap
them in parafin paper and cover with
a damp cloth. Not a wet cloth, re-
member, but just sufficiently moist to
keep the bread fresh. If possible, lay
them in stone crock and cover with
the moist cloth.
A novel sandwich, but one very diff
cult to make, is the checker and Harle-
quin tadbit. The necessities are loaf
of Boston brown and one of white bread
baked in pans much the same size to
avoid waste (There need be no waste
of any bread if the cuttings are dried,
then crushed and placed in alright jars
for buildings or croquette or oyster
crumbing.) The two kinds of bread are
freed from their crusts, then cut into
slices of the same thickness. Spread

lhickly enough with creamed butter sea-
soned with celery salt, chopped olives,
and red peppers, or a bit of onion or
chives; then work this into a paste No
other filling will allow of the bread be-
ing made into these sandwiches Place
the slices together, pressing down gen
tly but firmly; then cut into slices half
an inch wide and divide into suitable
slices again. These are Harlequins.
For the checkers arrange the slices of
brown and white bread after cutting into
Harlequins, so the alternate slices will
bring first the brown slice, then the
white over each other. Each slice of
brown and white strips must be spread
with the creamed butter before laying
the other on, in order to keep them firm
Then cut down through from the end
and slice of checkers will be the re-
suit. Place these where they will keep
cold, to prevent the butter melting and
thus loosening the checkers.
For sardine sandwiches, remove the
skin and bones from the fish; lay the
flesh on buttered bread; then cover with
a paste made of the yolks of two hard
boiled eggs, rubbed with one tablespoon
full of pimento paste, one teaspoonful of
prepared horseradish, and pinch of
dry mustard and salt
Graham or entire wheat bread is hes:
for fruit sandwiches. Sprinkle with
any desired candied fruits, chopped fine
with English walnuts. Any other nut
kernel may be chopped and spread alone
over buttered bread for filling.
Caviar sandwiches are made by adding
ten drops of onion juice to every two
tablespoonfuls of caviar, enough lemon
juice to suit, then spreading on thin
slices of rye bread, in which caraway
seed has been baked
For rolled sandwiches, spread with
butter and filling. then begin at one end
and roll as for jelly cake Secure with

Conserving Moisture.

1t is of little use to store water un.
less means and methods are taken tc
conserve it. AS previously stated
water moves upward until it reaches
the surface unless hindered by sur
face mulch or consumed by the plant
roots. If the water is permitted to
come to the surface, it is lost by evap-
Grafton. The amount wasted through
evaporation alone amounts to more
under ordinary methods than is con-
sumed by the plant. The waste can
be prevented by forming a surface
mulch. Capillary attraction takes
place only when the soil particles are
in close proximity or, in other words,
when the soil is reasonably compact.
The process of forming a mulch olsen
cages the particles, thereby hindering
evaporation. After the mulch is
formed, if permitted to stand for a
protracted period the soil particles
naturally readjust themselves and
evaporation again takes place. There
fore, in cultivating crops, a mulch
should be formed quite often, even
though no rain falls. 1t should also
be renewed very soon after rain, for
as soon as the surface cracks, escape
chimneys form.
In semi-arid regions summer fallow-
ing is practiced By summer following
we mean raising a crop only every
other year. The procedure is to plow
the ground and harrow or disc it from
time to time, thus conserving the
moisture for one year. Hoed crops,
especially corn and potatoes, should
be narrowed as soon as the seed is
planted and subsequently narrowed
until the plant has attained growth
of three or four inches. The ground
should then be cultivated from time
to time until the crop is nearly ma
tured unless there are frequent rains

Fall Army Worm

While the invasion of Kansas and
Oklahoma by the fall army worm does
not seem to be generally disastrous,
according to chronological reports, the
worms have been found as far north as
Wichita since July 3lst Unless the con-
dition changes, the principal damage is
likely to be to fields of late-planted corn,
millet Hungarian grass, or corn planted
for ensilage 1t is also likely to attack
fields of alfalfa where the hay crop has
been removed and the plants are put
ting out fresh growth, and also the
young plants in newly sown fields. 1t is
in such localities as these that it is
most likely to occur, and over such fields
the farmer should watch with care; and
on his first observing their presence, the
use of poisoned bait is recommended.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture
recommends busting the plants with
powdered arsenate of lead, using from
3 to pounds per acre, mixed with two
or three times its weight of flour. This
precaution is, of course, out of the
question on forage crops or on corn
afterwards to be used for fodder on
account of the danger of poisoning
stock In such cases 100 pounds of
wheat bran may be mixed with cou-
pie of pounds of either Paris green or
powdered arsenate of lead, preferably
the former, and the whole mass worked
into stiff dough by the use of three to
four gallons of molasses and the juice of
a half dozen oranges or lemons added
thereto. If this is sown broadcast on
the ground where the worms are at
work they will feed upon it and be
killed. The worms, it has been found,
will come to the poisoned bait from
distances of from to 10 inches
Farther north and later in the season
The worms may originate in volunteer
wheat or OATS and when this food sup
BY is exhausted they may attack the
fall wheat, but usually comparatively '
little damage is done to such wheat. In
llfalfa fields the immediate cutting and
curing of the alfalfa is advisable as
oon as the infestation has been dis '

Stock barns should be thoroughly
ventilated, whether for hogs, cattle,
horses or sheep. 1t is just as detri-
mental to an animal to breathe impure
air as it is for a human being. A sys-
tenn of ventilation is inexpensive and
its results are remarkable. The build
ings should be kept clean and disin
fected often enough to insure destruc-
ton of poisonous germs. Floors in
hog pens, cattle barns, etc, should
not be made of boards, for such floors
are full of cracks and knot holes,
which, with the space underneath
them, afford a favorable place for
the accumulation of fetid matter. If
hogs have cholera in a board floor
pen, and the floor and the accumu-
lation is not taken out and the build
ing thoroughly disinfected, hogs
placed in the same pen years after
ward are liable to contract the dis
ease from latent germs in the filth.
Sunshine being the best disinfectant,
Movable hog houses and pens are al
ways best.

The necessity of planting good seed
is so important that the farmer can
not afford to ignore it. He should
keep in mind the fact that seed must
possess strength and vitality within
itself sufficient to throw out bracing
roots and stem far enough above the
ground to breathe in carbon-dioxide
before plant food can be taken from
the soil. If the seed is weak, the
growth will be slow and the stem
small and feeble. 1t is reasonable to
assume that weak, anaemic leaf will
not absorb from the atmosphere as
much carbon-dioxide as a vigorous
one; hence, seed should be planted
that will terminate quickly and vigor-
ously, for the initial growth will be
throughout the entire life of
he plant.

not to crush, to prevent unfolding, Set
in moist place until ready to serve.
Stem, rinse and chop dried figs; add
half the quantity of chopped nut meats
and moisten with little currant or
ounce jelly; spread over buttered
wholewheat bread and press together.
For toast sandwiches the bread must
be delicately Drowned and cut into shape
before toasting. The cheese filling may
be of the sliced cheese, add enough
sweet cream to make it creamy, season
with paprika, and while hot spread on
one piece of hot toast; then press the
other on top and serve at once.

covered This will not only save the
hay crop, but will cut off the food of
the fall army worm and check thereby
the development of another generation
which may be many times more de-
structive than the first AS soon as
the hay has been removed from the
field the ground should be rolled with
heavy roller or brush dragged, or the
poison bait can be used.

Local Thunder Storms.

One afternoon short time ago a
thunderstorm with quite a heavy
downpour of rain occurred over por-
ton of certain county in the West.
The shower had not been forecast
by the Weather Bureau, and few
days later a letter of complaint was
received, the writer stating that the
storm had ruined a considerable acre
age of cut alfalfa that had been al
lowed to lie out to cure, as the wealth
er forecast had said nothing about
showers.
Be that as it may, the science and
art of weather forecasting never have
been and never will be reduced to
the basis of absolute certainty. The
very operation of the natural laws of
the universe preclude this, and with
no type of weather is this impossible
ity of exact forecasting more in evil
dence than in the case of thunder
storms.
The forecasting of general thun-
der storms over large areas is not so
difficult, as these generally occur
when, after a heated period, large
area of high barometric pressure with
a pronounced fall in temperature fol-
lows the heated period, bringing with
it thunderstorms and later a cool and
clear period of at least several days
duration.
But there are other thunderstorms,
occurring during periods of abnormal
heat, that are caused by excessive air
convection-that is, by the upward
movement of air masses that are I'M
duly heated by contact with the warm
earth. These are carried upward to
such an elevation that they become
cooled by expansion to an extent that
lowers the temperature of the warm
air masses below the temperature of
condensation, and rain therefore oc-
ours.

quently very local in character, as
certain portions of the carth's sur
face become hotter than others, and
consequently a "heat" thunderstorm
often occurs in one locality, whereas
only a few miles, or even shorter
distance, away there will be none at
all. 1t is not an infrequent occurrence
to have a severe thunderstorm over
one portion of large city, while over

should also be added that these heat"
thunderstorms are usually followed by
quick return to the same heated
conditions that preceded them, indi-
eating merely temporary disturbed
condition of the atmosphere without
prospect of permanent relief until the

two lines of hose playing upon the
flames. Within an hour the fire was

to the roof and the upper story but
some damage was done to the lower
story and furniture by water. The
damage is estimated between $500 and
