The summer soup pot differs from the
winter soup pot, because the summer
one has more vegetables within it. With
the wealth of vegetables that we have
from now on, it is possible to supply
the table once a day with Cup without
spending a cent for sour bones or meat
in the whole week.
To begin with, theresare the cream
vegetable soups Of many kinds. Each
OF these is made Of q PURGE Of the
cooked vegetable, mixed with about an
equal amount of thickened milk. To-
matoes, potatoes, spinach, corn, peas,
lettuce n young carrots all make de-
licious cream soups.
Then there are the soups made Of
vegetables and meat stock combine.
For these. such bones and trimmings of
meat as you may have on hand serve
to give the necessary meat flavor.
Here is he foundation for a vegeta-
Die soup that changes as the vegetables
In your left over larder change: Dice
TWO onions and a carrot and brown
them in drippings. Turn them into q
soup pot and add bones and meat
trimmings, vegetables and two or three
quarts of water. A good combination
of vegetables is a pint of tomatoes,
stewed. a cupful Of creamed carrots, a
raw potato sliced and some sprigs of
parsley. Another good combination is
two cupfuls of peas. a kohl rabbi diced,
a green peppe sliced. and tomatoes,
peas, beans. carrots and onions, all sim
mered gently together, give another
good combination. Simmer these vege-
table soups for three or four hours,
then strain. n serve with noodles, or
with diced cooked vegetables-diced
carrots or potatoes. or sliced string
beans and whole peas. Add a little
butter and flour occasionally to one of
these soups, strained. and serve In cups
with crisp croutons Drowned In the
oven.
Then there are pea and bean our

to be served occasionally on chilly sum-
mer days. Whenever you have a ham
bone on hand. make either Of these
soups. The ham bone. cooked with the
vegetables, gives delicious flavor.
Strain when the peas or beans are ten
der, and rub through a wire sieve. II
no ham bone is on hand, use bacon,
cooking 1t with the peas or beans, to
give the desired flavor.

Planting Sugar Cane.

Sugar cane is planted, not sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three of the rings,
or nodes. is laid lengthwise, or stuck
IN a slanting direction, along a fur
row which runs the length of the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion Of planting in holes is still en-
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces of cane are lightly covered
with earth. In a few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out in the form of young cane.
the ring having at the same time
thrown out rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet, to en-
able h workers, when the wide
spreading canes are getting ripe, to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen-
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked
cane to mature faster.

Claim of Employe Against lnterna. tional Silver Company of Wal linsford Dismised-Guide
 to Future Actions.

New Haven Compensation Com missioner Beers filed a decision which emphasizes the need of promptly re. porting injuries on which claims are to be based The plaintiff is Michael Gaherty of l09 Cherry street. Walling- ford, and the defendants the Inter. national Silver company of that place.
 The commissioner finds that for a number Of years prior to November 26. 1914. the claimant was employed hy the respondent at Wallingford. On or about November 19, while the claimant was engaged at the factory some water from the place he was working splashed back in his face and the claimant took soiled hand kerehief and wiped of the water. Two or three days after the occurrence. his face began to swell. Shortly thereafter, he noticed small red spot on the third finger of his right hand As result of infection it became necessary to amputate the third finger during March of the present year. As result Of the swelling of his face and the infection of his finger and an inc termediate infection Of the arm the claimant has been at all times since November 29, 1914 totally incapaoi tated. He attributed his physical con dttion 10 the splattering Of the water aforesaid.
 The commissioner in his finding continues: Tt is impossible upon the evidence and would probably be i'm possible upon any evidence which could be produced at this time to de- termine the nature ot the infection.
 The claimant gave no notice what ever of any kind .to his employer. of any injury CT claimed mMry. and the employer had no knowledge of such injury or claimed injury until a date In July. 1918 when formal written notice was given to said employer.
