Cold Process Catsup.

Take one peck of firm, ripe tomatoes.
Peel them cold without scalding. Chop
fine in chOpping bowl and strain Off
all the juice. This is very important,
for If all the Juice is not strained off
the chopped tomatoes the catsup will
not keep.
Add to the tomatoes one teacupful
of chopped onions, one teacupful of
chopped celery, one teacupful of sugar,
one-quarter of teacupful of salt, one
teacupful of mustard seed, one tea
spoonful of ground cloves, one tea
spoonful Of black pepper, one tea
spoonful Of cinnamon, four red pep
pers chopped fine. Mix all the ingre-
dlents together in a large stnne jar,
then take three pints of pure cider vim
egar and mix thoroughly, then bottle.
This catsup will keep for years If care
is taken to have the tomatoes free
from juice and pure cider vinegar is
used.

HAVE NO USE FOR LIQUOR.

The position of our organization is
well known says Mr.. w. S. Stone,
grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers. 1--WE fight the
liquor evil perhaps as hard as any of
the churches. Liquor has no place
In our modern railroading. There is
no class of men in the world of whom
more is required and who should have
clearer heads than the men In charge
of the transportation services Of this
country. Those of us who have been
In the railroad game for years know
the infinitesimal space of time that
spells the difference between safety
and disaster. There is no question but
that liquor does slow down the brain
action and the man In the cab of the
locomotive and the man in charge of
the train, even though he has no re-
gard for his own safety, has no busi-
ness to use 1t in any way; by SO doing
he endangers Others"

ADJUST THE HARNESS RIGHT
Collar 5oiis often Caused BY lr1proper
Fastening Of the Trace Chain
on the Hame.

Collar boils are often caused by i'm
proper adjustment Of the fastenings of
the trace chain on the hame. Every
hane should have several places for
adjustment and the regulation should
be made to conform TO the slope OF the
shoulders Of the individual horse.
Horses with straight shoulders should
have traces about midway OF the hame.
while horses with sloping shoulders
should have the adjustment about two
tfths Of the way up from the bottom.
Adjustment OF the backband will in
a measure correct any weakness In the
formation Of the shoulder. The back
band can be made not only to carry a
part Of the weight. thereby adjusting
the dept OF the plow, but II can be
made to adjust the draft TO fit the
horses shoulder. The adjustment can
be made either By shortening the back
band or moving II farther back on the
horse. The length Of the trace should
be such as TO prevent the horses legs
knocking against the singletree and
still have no surplus length.

LANDS SUITABLE FOR SHEEP
Animals Do Best Where Grasses Are
Produced Naturally or introduced
by Cultivation.

Sheep do best on high, dry land
that is, on hard-solled land, where the
grasses adapted to sheep are produced
naturally, or are easily introduced by
cultivation. The short grasses, or
such as usually are termed pasture
grasses, are essential to the well-be.
Ing Of the sheep. Cattle and horses
will thrive and do well on hay grasses,
on wet land grasses, tall grasses, but
with the sheep It is different; they
depend on the short-growth, dry-soil-
pasture grasses. 1t is important that
they be not confined to wet, soft, bog
ey pastures. The sheep inclines to
foot scald, sore feet and finally foot
tot where the hoof is constantly under
the influence Of moisture In the soil.

MODERN NEWSPAPER MAN.

The 400 newspaper correspondents
attending the national Democratic con-
vention In st. Louis were invited by
Mr.. August A. Busch, head of the An
heuser-Busch Brewing company, TO a
mint julep function at his home. Less
than 100 accepted, and a score of Gu-
tomobiles the host had engaged for
the occasion went away empty. One
Of those who declined the hospitality
wrote Mr.. Busch as follows:
"The time has passed when news
paper men can keep the pace of the
fastest men in the world and meddle
with even the mildest of intoxicants.
This fact is recognized in the most
practical way by large majority OF
the craft. During last week at Chi
cago, when the pressure of work was
tremendous and the weather abom-
Unable, was in constant contact with
the same body of correspondents who
are here today, and in all that time |
did not see even one under the in
huence OF drink. i hope TO see the
time come when men of my calling
VIII no longer be exposed to the dan
gers which beset the now recognized
standards of hospitality, but that the
open-handed friendliness which ! know
you feel toward your friends and mine
will find some other form of express

LAYING CONDITION OF HENS
ing, Color OF shanks and Lobes
and Texture OF Comb.

There are four physical indications
of n hens laying condition, says o.
Il. Kent, poultry instructor at Cornell
university. These are the time OF
.moltlng, color OF shnnks, texture OF
comb and color OF ear lobe. The first
and third points apply to all breeds,
the others only to those having yellow
shanks and yellow ear lobes.
Good layers molt late and quickly.
II you go through the flock the first
OF October and pick out the hens that
are just beginning 10 molt, or have not
started, you will get most OF those
which are laying.
In yellow skin breeds the paleness
of the shnnks after a period OF laying
Is good condition OF hens ca.
pnclty. Any bird with bright yellow
shanks after II year Of laying may be
picked out as a good producer.

Southern Corn Puddlnu.

Green corn can hardly be improved
by any way of cooking, but let me
make a suggestion about corn pud-
ding which came from an old colored
cook in the South. Cut the raw corn
from six ears, first scoring down the
middle of each row, add two well-beat.
en- eggs and a half pint of hot milk,
In which has been melted a good-slzed
piece of butter. Beat the whole well,
add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a
little salt. Bake in a deep buttered
dish for three-quarters of an hour

PICKLES OF Merit
PREPARATIONS THAT WILL BE
APPRECIATED BY ALL
Best Method Of Preparing Small Beets
for Future consumptien---How to
Put Up cueumbers and cauli-
flower.

A reader Of efficient Housekeeping"
asks for a "tested recipe for small beet
pickles" All the recipes used In this
department are tested, unless other
wise stated; sometimes an unusual
formula Is sent to US with the request
that IL be published, and II 1t seems
practical we use It. But In such cases
we always state that It is a contribu-
tion.
To Pickle Small Beets-Choose those
Of uniform size, clean them and put
10 cook without bruislng the skin.
They should be tender In 40 minutes.
Place in cold water and the SKINS Will
rub off easily. Put the beets into
large-mouthed Jars and cover with
scalding vinegar made as sweet as
you like II and spiced. The spice
mixture should include cinnamon,
cloves and allspIce. These should be
whole and be tied in a muslin bag
and put In the vinegar while 1t heats.
The vinegar should be pure cider, not
acetic vinegar, and II very strong,
should be weakened little with boil
ing water-very strong vinegar draws
the color from the beets.
Prudent housekeepers reckon they
save at least 40 per cent from the
grocer's budget by preparing their own
rellshes, like pickles, chill sauce, chow
chow and stuffed mangoes. Those who
have their own kitchen gardens save
more than this, so the incentive to
make more and more pickles is great.
No one is likely TO have too many.
If you have cucumber vines in the
garden, gather the pickles every morn
Ing and place them in brine until all
are picked. Then drain and freshen
them, first in cold then in boiling wa
ter. When they are fresh enough put
them into jars or bottles and cover
with scalding vinegar that has been
sweetened and spiced to suit your
taste.
The pickles should be assorted ac-
cording to size, and some may be
packed in the Jars with whole spices
or peppers and without being sweet
ened. II you enjoy mixed pickles you
will like this recipe:
Scald in hot salt water two or more
heads Of caulifiower, according to the
amount of mixed pickles you intend to
make. Also scald nasturtium seeds,
small silyer-skinned onions, tender
green beans and tiny pickles or larger
pickles cut small. Cut the fiowerets
from the caulifower, and cut the beans
in short pieces. Pack this mixture into
wide-mouthed bottles with few chilli
peppers to give color. To each pint of
hot cider vinegar you use add one ta-
blespoonful Of sugar half a teaspoon
full of salt, two tablespoonfuls of mus
tard. Cover all the pickles and seal
while hot. The spice mixture may be
varied to suit the taste.-Chicago Jour-
nal.

At the recent national convention of
advertising men held at Philadelphia
the delegates from Milwaukee consplc-
DOusly omitted all reference to the
product which made their city famous.
A mammoth banner stretched In front
OF their headquarters informed the
public that Milwaukee produces S76,-

each year; S45,O0O,OO0 in packed and
prepared meats; S43.OO0OO0 in leather
and leather products, and various other
useful commodities but there was
nothing about Its breweries.
Talk to the forty delegates from
that city and you'll notice the same
thing" says the North American OF
Philadelphia. They'll throw up their
hats over their largest tanneries'-nnd
not word about beer. They'll become
enthusiastic over their 1900 manufac-
turing plants without mentioning the
breweri, X 10 a member of the
Milwaukee go. club, and he'll fill your
ears full Of the wonderful achievements
of-not full-page booze ads, but a

The same thing was noticeable in the
literature distributed. Banks published
folders advertising the city as q home
for business and omitted mention of
the breweries. There was not placard
or printed page in evidence at the
convention on Mllwaukee's much
vaunted Temperance drink"

Highly Developed Tamworth.

Fecundity appears to be inheritable,
at least to a slight degree. This fact
is borne out by herdbook records, al
lowing for their errors. II is ques-
tionable whether the size Of the litter
really represents the hereditary fac
tors transmitted. The wild hog usually
averages four pigs per litter, very fer
tile sows of improved breeds often av-
erage eight pigs, but the Tamworth,
with an average Of - pigs per SOW, is
the most fecund breed.

Licensed Revoked---To Weed Out
Undesirable Deputies.

The Conservation Commission, at a
meeting this week, decided to revoke
the licenses of all deputy state game
wardens. At the same time the depu-
ties were invited to apply for new Ii
censes. The object of this move is to
weed out undesirable deputies ami to
provide new and more competent list.
The Commission held a long confer
ence with well-known gentlemen who
interested in game protection. Among
those at the conference were the new
State Game Warden, E. LeCompte. of
Dorchester county, former State Game
Worden James p. Curley, Llewllyn Ra-
ney, of Johns Hopkins University; r.
c. Smart, who was a deputy of Mr..
Curley; Talbot Denmead, DIR. r. Holly
Smith and Police Commissioner Ed
ward Burke. The whole question Of
game protection and cooperation was
threshed out.
The Commission also decided to lend
its best efforts, through its deputy
game wardens in aiding the Federal
authorities in enforcing the law pro-
hibiting the sale of bodies, skins and
plumage of other than game birds for
hat decorations and similar trimmings.
