WHEN WE GO A-PICNICkING

When we go a-picnicking, varied
yet simple collection Of picnic del
licacies adds much to everyone's
pleasure and enjoyment. A supply
of oranges and grape juice diluted
and bottled should not be overlooked
when packing the picnic basket. If
pure water is available near the pic
mic grounds, bottle of any preferred
fruit syrup or fruit punch may be in
cluded in the lunch. Then, when
ready to use, dilute with water to
taste. Following are a few recipes
for picnic dainties that are both SIM
pie and delicious, says writer in
Farm and Home.
Fruit Bread Sandwiches
Mix together one cup each of
whole wheat -four, white -four, yellow
corn meal, and chopped raisins Add
one tablespoon sugar, half teaspoon
salt, and one teaspoon baking soda
dissolved in two cups thick sour milk.
Beat we'll and bake in a creased loaf
pan, one and half hours in mod
crate oven. When cold, cut into thin
slices spread generously with fresh
slightly salted butter, and form into
sandwiches. Wrap in paraffin paper.
Chicken Sandwiches
To two-thirds cup chopped cooked
chicken, add one-third cup chopped
hard-boiled eggs and one tablespoon
finely chopped onion. Mix to a smooth
paste with mayonnaise dressing and
spread between thin slices of buttered
white bread. Cut into trianges and
wrap in paraffin paper.
Peanut Sandwiches
Chop or grind in food chopper the
desired amount of freshly roasted
peanuts, season with salt to taste and
mix to a smooth paste with thick
sweet cream. Spread on thin slices
Of graham or whoe-wheat bread
which have been slightly buttered,
and form into sandwiches. Cut into
rounds with a cooky cutter.
Salmon Salad Sandwiches
Remove the bones from one can of
salmon, and discard the liquid. Mash
and mix to a smooth paste with may
onnaise or boiled dressing. Spread
on thin slices Of well l-buttered bread

PURE SEED IN THE
NORTHWESTERN STATES
BY Prof. ThOs. Shaw.

IT there is one need greater than
any other in the Northwestern States
in relation to it's agriculture, it is
the need for pure seed. This need
is greater in the area referred to than
In many other parts of the United
States for the reason, first, that the
Northwestern States are so exclus-
lively devoted to the growing of grain,
and second, that it is much more diff
ficult to keep grains from mixing in
these states than in states where the
rainfall is greater. Because of the
first reason, the mixing of grains will
lead to serious loss, if allowed to 90
unchecked. The difficulty next men,
toned, that is, the mixing of grains
by volunteering, is the outcome of
the dry conditions which keep the
shattered grain from sprouting from
one year to another. When con-
Quoting demonstration work in these
for the railroads, we invariably tried
to begin with pure seed. Notwith-
standing, the resultant crop, was sell
dom absolutely pure. If grown on
new land, the threshing brought in
some admixture and if grown on old
er land, the admixture was further
increased by volunteer grain.
The farmer is usually anxious to
get pure seed. He is usually willing
to pay price for it higher than the
market price if he is sure that the
seed is absolutely pure. By abso-
lutely pure is meant absolutely true to
name and free from all admixture of
other grains and weed seeds. If ask
ed where can such seed be obtained
in the Northwestern States. l would
have to say that cannot tell. From
the above the extent of the opening
for growing pure seed will be appar-
ent.
This work can be conducted with
greatest success in cooperative way
and on new land. The reason for
cooperation lies in the fact that the
grower or growers of pure seed should
have their own threshnig machine.
New land will furnish soil approxi-
mately free from foul weeds. While
the grower Of pure seed may be able
to grow more than one species of
seed grain on the same farm with sue
cess, he will probably succeed better
by confining his attention to one spe-
cies, and to one variety of that spe-
cies. For instance, if the seed grow
er begins with Turkey Red Winter
Wheat he should grow no other Win
ter Wheat. Of course he may if he
so desires, grow some variety of seed
fax, also seed oats and seed barley,
but in such instances he will find at
least some difficulty from the mix
ing of these.
Of course it is essential that the
grower begins with absolutely pure
seed. To be quite sure of this it may
be necessary for him to select heads
by hand in the matured grain. This
is a very tedious process, but in the
end it will probably prove that the
time was we'll spent. One peck of
grain thus selected and sown on good
land and we'll prepared, will in an
average year grow enough of seeC
to SOW about 10 acres. The first
seed sown would not. of course. fur
nish any for sale. The second year
very large amount could be sold. II
does not take long, therefore, to get
started in this business. AS a safe

of the latter are willing 10 inhale the

The importance of good ventilation
where several people are sitting can
not be overemphasized. In providing
air remember that II two gas jets are
burning they are consuming as much
good air as four persons, and one kero-

A lamp left with the flame turned down

Evolution Of q Word.

The word admiral is only the mod

means commander. The amir-al-bahr

Oma. Medieval Europe appropriated
the word and IAtinized II as admira-

French language through the old
French ADMIRAL. Its first appearance
in English prose Is In the chronicle Of
Layamon. that famous monk OF Earn

book skin and wrote on 1t his famous
chronicle. Layamon talks of an adj
miral of Babiloine. This was In 1905,
but II was not until two and half

Automobile association. Roads that

Mr. Batchelder says that the country
must have a maximum opportunity for
the maximum transport Of men and
munitions. and the motorcar and the
roads are the means for its accomplish
ment. Thirty thousand miles Of road
would gridir0n the entire United States
with interconnecting and inferIocking

der estimates that this would mean
a road requirement Of $300O00.O00.
This $4,000 per mile Is based on an
average Of extremes from low cost be-
