TRIBUTE TO JANE AUSTEN
Why the Writer Considers Her to
Have Been Greater Artist Than
George Sand.

In the history Of literature George
Sand Is the great example of a woman
who won success by the masculine So
luton of detachment from experience,
and Jane Austen, the great example
of woman who won success by the
Feminine solution Of Identification
with her own dailyness.
l am inclined to think the latter by
far the greater artist, just as / am
inclined to think that In literature
rather than in any other form of men
tai activity will always be found
woman's highest intellectual achieve
ment, for the simple reason that wom-
ans genius consists In personality and
for the expression of personality
words are the only adequate medium.
Jane Austens example is the great en-
enlargement for the woman who
wishes to write without ceasing to be
a simple everyday woman.
Jane Austen was capable of q de-
tachment that enabled her to write
books that give no hint of the thun-
der of the Napoleonic wars even when
she hau TWO Drotners on lighting ships.
She was capable Of an Identification
with her surroundings that enabled
her to write novels Of universal hu-
mainly and eternal artistry and to
keep right on being everybodys aunt
at the same time.
She was sane and humorous In her
novels because she was sane and hui
morous out of them. She achieved
fame because she had first achieved
personality.
Still, her fame Is only a thin, frail
IRE set beside the effulgence of n
dozen men Of her time. Yet, 1 would
rather have been Jane Austen than
Shelley or Wordsworth or Keats

How Clever Plants Are.

The cleverness Of some plants Is
indisputable. A sundew, or fy-eater,
deceived by piece of chalk, seized 1t
In Its tendrils, but upon discovering
the fraud Immediately withdrew them.
A fly, held just out of its reach, did
not tempt it to move, but as soon as
it was brought a little nearer the plant
prepared to take possession Of 1t. OAR
win showed that begonia had a habit
OF searching for a hole to insert its
tendrils into, and even Of withdrawing
the tendril to insert it in another hole,
IL the first proved unsuitable. Nor is
this power of selecting combined to
any particular class. Climbers like
the lianas will refuse to coil around q
branch not strong enough to bear their
weight.

TEST CRIMSON CLOVER SEED
Samples Inspected by Department Of
Agriculture Show About One-Third
of Seed Was Dead.

Samples of lots of crimson clover
seed now on the market tested recent
ly by the United States depart
ment of agriculture usually have con.
tanned about one-third of dead seed,
and in many samples more than two
thirds of the seed was decd. 1t is i'm
portant, therefore, that farmers know
the quality of the crimson clover seed
they intend to SOW.
Every lot of seed should be tested
for termination, and then seeded heav-
lily enough to insure getting a stand.
If the present supply of seed of low
termination is sowed without testing
and at a usual rate of seeding poor
stands and failures will follow ever
under favorable conditions.

on the wheat crop is usually a good in
vestment, especially on the thin soils
of the state.
Phosphorus is the element most gen.
orally lacking in Missouri soils, and
has given very satisfactory money re-
turns when supplied to the wheat crop
in some form of commercial fertilizer.
This element Of plant food is most
commonly added by the use Of such
fertilizers as steamed bonemeal, acid
phosphate, or mixed fertilizers which
carry a high percentage of available
phosphoric acid, On lands which have
a fair supply of organic matter, from
125 to $50 pounds of steamed bone
meal, or $50 to 200 pounds of acid
phosphate will usually give very sat
isfactory returns. On poorer lands
mixed fertilizers containing some nj
trogen may often be most desirable.
Potash is needed for wheat on many
soils, but the war has made it so high
in price that the increased wheat yield
will probably not pay the extra ex.
pense.

Motor Car Defined.

A motor car is really a self-running
and rather realistic moving picture
machine. The difference is that real
hills are better than play ones, but
one has much the same panoramic
sort of pleasure except that, instead
of sitting in row of ten cent seats
with a great mass of people in the
terky and the clickety dark, one sits
securely and privately In ones own
moving picture machine and does ev.
erything ones self. One steers the
mountains past one, steers the rivers
and hills with a lever and turns the
scenery on and off.

the hunter himself.
Game is usually lacking in fat, is
short fibered and easy of digestion.
The well fattened fowl lacks the flavor
OF the delicate game birds. The fishy
flavor of wild duck or birds may be
removed by parboiling with little
onion in the water. Usually the meat
of game birds is improved by hanging
until 1t has developed flavor and be-
come more tender; this does not rem
der 1t less wholesome if it is not too
high, that is, hung too long.
Sidney Smith pronounced it a wick.
edness to serve roast game drenched In
sauce.
Old game should not be broiled or
roasted, but there are many delightful
ways of using it in stews, pot pies,
casseroled or fricasseed.
Game birds should always be served
with thin slices of salt pork or bacon,
as the meat is otherwise too dry. In
roasting slices of pork should be placed
over them or wrapped around them
They are usually served on toast.
Roasted Quail.-Take six fat. fresh

three minutes stirring well, strain, set

remove the boards and pound in n
mortar with two tablespoonfuls of
softened bread crumbs, soaked in wa
ter and squeezed dry; mix three yolks
OF eggs, two tablespoonfuls of butter,
gill of oyster liquor and an equal
quantity of whipped cream. Season
with salt and cayenne; add little
lemon juice and the whites of two
eggs, well whipped. Stir this mixture
lightly and turn into a buttered mold !;
cover with paper, well buttered and
steam 30 minutes. When ready to
serve, turn the sOuffle out on a hot
dish and place some oyster sauce
around it.
SPindled Oysters.-Take two dozen
large oysters and the same number of
slices of bacon, cut very thin. Have
half dozen steel skewers, small ones
ana spear an oyster and piece of ba-
con, alternating them. Place the ba-
con through the corner and do not
crowd. Lay the skewers across a bak-
ing pan and cook in quick oven or
under gas five minutes. Lay each skew
er with its contents on a slice of nicely
Drowned toast; pour the gravy over
and serve at once.
Virginia Oyster soup.-Wash a quart
of oysters, saving the liquor. Strain
and add two blades of mace, one stalk
of celery, chopped fine, one teaspoon
full of salt, and pod of red pepper.
Scald, add two tablespoonfuls of but
ter, rubbed smooth with one table
spoonful of flour; add pint of milk
