RHUBARB AT ITS BEST
RECIPES THAT HAVE BEEN TRIED
AND FOUND WORTHY.
Plant Just Now Is at Its Best and
Should Have a Place on Every
Table-Dumplings That Ap-
peal to the Children.

Rhubarb is at its best just now, as
well as cheap, SO it is good time to
serve it often at the table. But in or
der to have it appreciated it should be
prepared in a variety of ways.
Very delicious preserves can be
made with rhubarb either alone or
combined with another fruit.
Rhubarb and Fig Jam. - To FIVE
pounds of rhubarb cut short lengths
allow one pound of cooking figs, the
grated rind and juice of one lemon.
and four pounds of sugar. This should
stand over night, and in the morning
be cooked very slowly for an hour.
Then put into glasses and seal
Rhubarb Jam.-To each pound of
rhubarb allow one pound of sugar and
one lemon. Peel the, yellow rind thin
and slice the pulp. Put away over
night with the cut rhubarb as before
described, and boil for three-quarters
of an hour slowly Pour into jars and
seal.
Rhubarb and Orange Jam.-Put
three pounds of oranges into pre-
serving kettle with plenty of cold wa
ter and simmer for three hours. Drain
and cut up the oranges, rejecting the
seeds. Put six pounds of granulated
sugar into the kettle with just little
water and stir frequently until it boils.
Then put in the oranges with three
pounds of rhubarb cut into short
lengths. Stir again until the mixture
boils and then let TIE whole simmer
for another twenty minutes.
Rhubarb DumpIinss.-Childre will
enjoy these for lunch or supper, even
though they do not like rhubarb. The
rhubarb is stewed in half it's weight of
sugar and little water. While it is
cooking mix biscuit batter, using a
pint of flour, one-half teaspoonful
salt, two teaspoonfuls of making pow
der and cupful of milk. Drop this in
the rhubarb by spoonfuls and cook for
from eight to ten minutes. A pinch of
ground ginger or few raisins can be
added if the flavor is liked
Rhubarb JeIly.-This makes nice
Sunday dessert, because it can be pre-
pared the day before. Soak one-half
box of gelatin in half cupful of cold
water for an hour. Cook two pounds
! of rhubarb in very little water and
when reduced to a pulp sweeten to
taste. Set aside and cook one cupful
of sugar with one of water for twenty
minutes. Stir the soaked gelatin into
the boiling sirup and stir until dis
solved. Remove from the fire, add
the rhubarb and set away in mold
to cool.
Rhubarb sponge is made as for jelly,
but when it begins to thicken the beat
en- whites of three eggs are whipped in
until the jelly is quite stiff Serve with
whipped cream or a thin custard made
from the yolks of the eggs.
Rhubarb Compote.-A compete is very
little more trouble than stewing, but
infinitely more attractive when served.
Boil one cupful of sugar with a wine
glassful of water for five minutes. Then
drop in short lengths of rhubarb. few
at time, so they retain their shape.
Take them out with skinner as they
become tender and lay in a dish. Pour
the sirup over and serve when cold.

Handle Novelties LIGHTLY.

Do not be in too great rush to try
novelties on the farm on too large a

conditions may be inferior to the old
We do not mean by this to become an

the novelties lightly and experiment
with them before planting them ouI

has elected praise and communication
from all. Such exhibits were not pre-

The outlook for the year 1856 is
inspiring for all. The corps of teach

but the most pleasing environment

tematized as to form one complete
whole. Supervision and teaching are
directed to securing the largest re-
turns for the time and money invest
ed. Instruction properly given by
the teacher, and the energy and pur-
pose of the child properly guided,

Third. In management and control
our schools are characteristic from
the point of freedom. Pupils are al
most universally obedient to the con-
ditions of good behavior in school and
on the streets. There has not been a
pupil in our district in the past sew
eral years that could be called incor-
rigible in the schoolroom. These facts
speak well for the cooperation of the
school and the home, wherein success
lies.
On account of these and other dis
tinctive features, the reputation Of
our schools for character, learning,
and good citizenship has spread
abroad even beyond the borders of. our
state, attracting into our midst fami-
lies Of the very best type whose influ-
ence and thrift are in harmony with
the best in community life.

EMMETT SCHOOLS EXCEL
Methods of instruction in Harmony with Best
School Systems of the Country.
By GEO. D. KNIPE, Superintendent.

The public schools of Emmett are
comfortably housed in four buildings
containing in all % rooms. The EN-
erson school is located one and one
half miles east, and the Lincoln school
two and ope-half miles south; while
the Longfellow and the Wardwell are
within the city limits near the bust
ness section.
All of these school buildings and
premises are well kept, both in repair
and sanitary conditions. The janitor
service is performed by one head jan
itor and seven student assistants. The
head janitor is mechanic with the
skill necessary to make all minor re-
pairs in plumbing; glazing, carpen-
try, painting, etc. The assistants are
students in school-willing, tractable
and efficient, whose wages are applied
on their personal school expenses and
in some cases to the support of the
families from which they come
All the school properties are adorn-
ed by beautiful forest trees and lawns
planted throughout the history of the
schools, and are the delight of not
only the pupils and teachers now in
charge, but are the pride of former
pupils now grown to manhood and
womanhood, and of former superin-
tendents, teachers, patrons, and mem
bers Of boards of trustees, many of
whom contributed labor and money
that these things might be accom-
plished.
School properties are made availa-
BILE as centers for various community
activities, the Lincoln and the Ward |
well being frequently used for pub
lie meetings and entertainments.
While the organization, supervision,
management, control and methods of
instruction are in harmony with the
best school systems of the country,
our schools have few characteristic
and distinctive features.
First. The schools are not "over-
organized" There are no "hard and
fast" rules or restrictions to which
the natural rights and development of
the child are subordinate. The high
purpose of the present supervision is
to make school conditions and regula-
tions contribute to the freedom of ac-
tivity and to natural mental and ply
steal growth, believing that the schools
are maintained for the child.

T is certainly time for the home
gardener to think Of caring for
the surplus from the garden.
.g Wise home growers have planned
on having a sufficient supply Of choice
vegetables during the winter. These
vegetables will have to be stored in
order that they may be preserved.
Onions and squash should be placed
ness to prevent any possible decay.
The root crops-parsnips. carrots.
beets, satisfy and turnips-are best
buried in soil. A good sandy loan is
excellent. Place a layer of soil in the
bottom of n barrel or box. then IL lay
er of roots. a layer Of soil and SO on
If the quantity of root crops is large
enough the roots may be stored in a
pit outside the house. A good way Is
to pile the vegetables In a conical
form and place straw over them. Soil
should be applied to cover this straw
and more soil or manure added as the
weather becomes colder.
Sometimes a hotbed pit is used for
storage, particularly if adequate facili-
ties for ventilation are given and If
protection from oversupply Of water
is afforded by covering the tops Of the
beds with boards and tarrcd paper.
Protection should also be given against
excessive cold by applying refuse over
the tarred paper.
Cabbages may be stored in tue hot
bed pit or in the garden by placing a
little straw on the ground, removing
the cabbages, roots and all from their
location and placing them heads down
ward on this straw. A layer of cab
bages four plants wide and Of indefi-
mite length, with another layer over 1t
three plants wide, all covered with
straw and soil, will cause the cab
bages to keep in the best condition.
especially if a location is chosen where
ample drainage is possible.
The whole aim in the storage of
vegetables is to prevent sudden freez-
ing and thawing. to give ventilation
enough so that the product may keep

crops so that shrinking will be done
away with and with other crops.
~squashes and onions in particular, to
give heat enough so that they will not
suffer from excessive moisture.
