POTATOES IN cows RATION
of Roots Like Mangels, Turnips, Etc.-Rich in Protein.

Potatoes are fully as valuable as succulent food in ration for dairy cows as any of the roots. like man. gels, turnips, etc In food value as shown by their chemical analysis, they are fully equal to any of them, being much richer in starch, equal in protein and also nearly equal in fat This being the case. it is largely a question of palatability and digestibil- ity. Cows may not at first like pota- toes as well as they do beets. but it is largely because they have not been educated to eat them.
 When potatoes are very cheap it will pay to feed them to cows, but usually they are worth too much for human food to be used as live stock food. Beets or carrots. etc, are not usually figured as being worth more than four to five dollars per ton for stock food; according to this, pota- toes must be as cheap as 15 cents to pay to feed them

fine example of this style is shown in the picture and it is safe to pin ones faith to it.
 In this suit the skirt is not extreme ly wide. It has fiat panel at the front and back and is shaped to flare. with inverted plaits where the side gores are set in. It should be shorter than it is pictured here. extending not more than an inch or two below the top of the average walking shoe. It fits smoothly fbut not tight about the hips. and fastens at the side.
 The long coat is long-waisted, with the slightly curving line at the under arm seam which makes of it semi fitted model It is becomingly double breasted. and this is point that wom- en will do well to consider, for it does much for the figure The straight loose-fitting sleeves are finished with a narrow cuff of velvet, headed with band of skunk fur. The collar and belt are of the fur also.
 Silk ornaments, a cord and cloth covered buttons give the spice of va riety to the composition of the coat.

Many Ways of Preparing Fruit Which All Appreciate for Its Per.
 feet Flavor.

Line the baking dish with this and pour in two quarts of freshly stewed peaches, covering the dish with a pastry lid, pierced here and there to let out steam Bake until brown and then cover thickly with powdered sugar and serve steaming hot with rich cream.
 Here is another peach pie recipe: Bake rich pastry crust until brown and crisp and then cool Just at serv- Ing time heap it high with sliced peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pile whipped cream on top.

Brown in the oven, chill and serve piled high with peaches cut into large pieces, stewed just until tender and sweetened to taste Top with big spoonful of whipped cream.

Into this cut half cup ful of butter and add enough milk to make a stiff batter. Use as little milk as possible. Roll into thick sheet, line deep pie pan with it and slice peaches into it. SWeeten them well and cover them with sour or sweet milk, then bake until done in mod crate oven
 A tempting dessert is peach whip. To make it press ripe peaches through vegetable press, sweeten to taste and mix immediately with whipped cream or whipped egg whites. Pile in tall glasses and serve very cold.
 Another tempting dessert is peach sandwich. one for each person Slice stale sponge cake and dip the slices quickly in milk Then brown in but ter. Between each two slices pile freshly sliced, sweetened peaches and pile on whipped cream.

BETTER ROADS.

The question Of better roads is the
greatest issue now before the people.
Bond issues in many counties are being
voted down for lack of confidence in
the county officials to judicslly spend
the money. This is a bad state Of
affairs, and even deporable. to say the
I1east.
The voters 4 have to begin at the
bottom and elect men to Office who will
do their work honestly. There are too
many political shifters who want TO
strick their hands into the public corn
crib. 1t is shame that conditions are
such that the people have to vote a
legitimate bond issue down because the
officers of the law will not spend the
money appropriated in an honest way.
The best thing to do is to roust that
kipd Of officers, or make them afraid
not to do their work honestly. The
people are unanimous in wanting better
roads. but they are also unanimous in
the belief that il should not cost 5000
to have 500 worth Of work done. The
drones and grafters are always ready
to stick their fingers into the ''pie. "
which name they have given public
funds. The whole trouble is that there
are too many private political debts to
pay out Of the state treasury. People
are demanding better roads all over the
state and they are going to get what
they want, but in many instances they
will be slow in coming.
