CUTTING GRAIN WITH AN EN-
 GINE

One of our subscribers sends us a last year s harvest picture taken on his place, showing his binder being run by gasoline engine, whi,e the horses merely pull the machine. The engine drives the sickle and all the machinery. He says with this engine two horses can easily pull a binder in heeavy grain. The engine is attached to the back end, being bolted on un- der the seat, and being connected up with the machinery by means of q double sproeket. He says it is pos sible to cut grain when the field is wet, or the grain is badly fallen down, as the sickle never stops or slaekens down when the bull-wheel slips, but keeps right on going at the same rate of speed, and consequently never gets choked up. This is one of the modern light weight engines.

easy operation, but a smooth, perfect joint and filling will be the result.
 Certain substances in some foods canned attack the container and dis solve the tin, which then enters the food and is considered harmful The use of lacquer-lined cans prevents this solvent action to great extent. Such products as rhubarb, pumpkins, squash, and beets exert a strong corrosive az tion on tin and should be packed iE the lacquered cans. Much experience in canning vegetables and fruits is neces- sary before the canning of meat prod ucts Is undertaken, and the operation should be thoroughly understood. Meats, unless thoroughly sterilized and prop- erly canned, are liable to produce high ly poisonous products of decomposition Proper blanching, sterilization, etc., of course, is essential to success in can. ming any kind of fruit, vegetables or meats.
 Several sizes of cans are termed standard for canning purposes. Cans are known by number with ref erence to size. The opening in the top of the cans most desirable for the small canner is ? 1-16 or ? 7-16 inches However, for convenience, list of can sizes and numbers gre here given. It is also necessary to designate when laequered cans are wanted. When buy ing caps for cans always designate the solder hemmed caps and give the diam- eter of can opening. When whole fruits and vegetables are to be canned it is desirable to buy cans with 7-16 inch or even larger opening.

MOCK CHERRY CONSERVE.

If you have no bearing cherry trees you can make mock cherry jelly that is usually better. Boil two big hand. fuls of cherry leaves in one pint of water for ten minutes. Strain out the leaves and put one quart of pared and quartered aTples Gender, early June arples are best), in the water. Cook till a smooth mass; add one pint of strawberries and measure. Add an equal quantity of sugar and cook till thick. Put in jelly glasses.
 Blackberry Jam: To one quart of nice blackberries allow two-thirds quart of sugar; jam the berries and sugar to- oether before putting on the stove; boil very gently 20 or 30 minutes.

THE USEFUL LEMON.

Nothing equals the lemon as remedial aoent Its daily use saves many doctor $ bills. This does not mean in the form of lemonade, for the sugar creates acid. The fruit should be used without sugar, half lemon b glass of water
 Taken each morning upon arising, this lemon and water help to overcome a sluggish liver and are excellent in keeping down a tendency to too much abundance of flesh. If one is very stout it may be taken three or four times day, with 10 injurious results.
 This lemon and water treatment has been found to be a cure for malar in many instances, and is much used in the West Indies as gargle for sore throat. It can be safely taken even by those with tendency to acidity
 As garnish and favoring the lemon needs no introduction to the ordinary housewife. Raw oysters or tea without

THIN THE TREES.

It is never too late to prune. There is indication now that the peach crop will be large in some sections, and by removing all the small growths on which there is fruit, even by cutting out quite freely, you will transfer the vigor to those remaining, and will have larger fruit.
 This is much easier and a better method than to pick out the small fruit by hand later. By this time the tree will have attempted to produce all the fruit on the tree, both large and small, and the large fruit will be dwarfed

WHICH IS YOUR MErHoD9

Some people believe that young chickens know when they have enough to eat, and throw food to them in quan- titles trusting to each chick to know when to cry, Hold, enough. !"
 We have never convinced ourselves, though, that chicks have brains, hav- ing seen too many of them that could do just as we'll without any heads at all.
 So we have been accustomed to giv- ing certain amount at meal. The chickens have enough to satisfy them and in addition, enough to keep them scratching industriously for the few grains they missed This provides ex- ercise, and gives them something defi- mite to do.
 The other plan, we fear, is produc- tive of overfat, lazy boarders, who never will lead your flock in an egg laying contest, depend upon it.

WHTTEWASH.

We publish at the request of many new subscribers the following recipe for whitewash, which has been tested and found good:
 Slack one-half bushel of unslacked lime with boiling water, keeping it GOV cred during the process. Strain it and add peck of salt dissolved in warm water. Add also three pounds of ground rice put in boiling water and boiled to a thin paste; one-half pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear glue dissolved in warm water. Mix all these we'll together, and let the mixture stand for several days. Keep the wash thus prepared in kettle or portable fur mace and, when used, put it on as hot as possible, with painters or whtewash brushes. This whitewash has been found py experience to answer on wood, brick and stone nearly as well as oil paint, and it is mueh chnaner

MARYLAND'S NEXT GOVERNOR

The time is rapidly approaching when
the gubernatorial situation should
earnestly engage the attention of those
who are sincerely interested in the
States welfare. While the politicians
are playing their various hands in what
they regard as simply a political
game, . the thoughtful citizen of this
State realizes that the time has come
when it is of imperative importance that
Maryland should secure a Chief Execu-
tive of sound business Judgment, of
some considerable experience in hand
ling public affairs, and of sufficient in
tellectual acumen and moral courage to
grapple manfully with the enlarging
problems and diversified interests of our
commonwealth. We are facing some
pretty serious problems in this State;
we are being called upon to handle some
pretty delicate situations. 1t is mans
job to be Governor of Maryland today
that is to be Governor that counts.
The little schemes of the politicians
seem nothing short of disgusting (might
we say traitorous?) when compared
with the vital Importance of the States
securing capable and efficient Execu-
tive. Indeed we are prepared to go
further and aver that party loyalty and
zeal must take second place in the
thought of every good citizen as COM
pared with the determination to do all
that in him lies toward securing for the
State the best possible Executive. This
position seems to us so sound and pa
triotic that we have no hesitancy in
'proclaiming it from the house-top".
We want especially to lay it upon the
heart of our own party in Maryland. 1t
is not essential that the next Governor
OF Maryland should be Republican or
Democrat. But it is essential that he
should be equipped for the job; and
while our fellow Republicans are pro-
specting for candidate, let them re-
member that their high duty to their
party, aye their, higher duty to their
State, demands the nomination of man
whose undoubted fitness would properly
command support.
We do not anticipate a primary con-
test for the Republican nomination. In
fact, the very situation of the party in
this State, makes, in our judgment,
such contest unwise and undesirable.
What we rather anticipate is that the
sentiment of the party will So evidently
crystalline about some possible candi-
date as to make his nomination assured.
Hence our belief that now, right now,
is the time to sound no uncertain note
the time to talk straight out and to say
fiat-fOotedly that no make-shift nomi-
nation will do. This State needs at
this time an eminently capable Execu-
tive. He need not be gifted with ora
tory or endowed with brilliant parts.
But he must be capable and courageous
if he is to adequately meet the situa.
Middletown transcript., 1915-05-29

ton, And he must be that if he is to
deserve and receive the support Of
those citizens who set the welfare of
the State about the cry of party 10y
atty.
Now is the time for us to find out
whether the Republican partp in this
State is, or is not, blessed with the
right sort of leadership. If it is it can
we believe, be at this time of great
service both to the State and the party.
If it is not, it is not going thereby to
injure the State. because it can't. But
it can and will make the party an al
most negligible quantity in State af-
fairs for years to come. -yEtkton Cesil
