When cooking chicken for broth,
or in fact for any purpose, scrub it
we'll with small vegetable brush
with soda and water, then rinse and
wipe dry. Cut in small pieces and
put on in cold water, If to be served
as broth. Let simmer five hours,
strain, cool and remove the fat. This
broth, because Of the gelatin in the
bones and tendons, will make a thick
jelly when cold. Reheat and add
boiled rice or barley; serve with a
dash of salt in a pretty cup, piping
hot.

son with salt. Cool to remove the
fat before using. A beaten egg may
be added to either Of the soups, but
not allow it to cook at all, just simply
add to the hot soup and serve. A ta-
blespoonful of cream, with a sprin-

when added to the chicken broth.

Citrate Gets Victoria Cross.
The Victoria cross is rarely given
even in this war Of countless deeds of
bravery. The Rev. Noel Mellish, q
London curate. is the first chaplain In
the British army to receive the cross
since the second Afghan war Of 1879.
On the occasion of the presentation
the units of the famous fighting army
were drawn up in division, forming a
! hollow square on the spring green OF
an open field. In the center stood Mr..
Mellish with another officer, who re-
ceived the distinguished service order.
In the front lines stood other officers
who were to receive lesser decora-
tions.
Before pinning the ribbon on Mel.
lish's breast the general read brief
account of the deed of gallantry that
won him the honor. When the cler.
gyman came forward those witness
ing the ceremony were agreeably i'm
pressed with an extremely slender
and boyish figure scarcely looking his
thirty years, and indeed, looking more
| gentle and reserved man of peace
than a fighting parson.
The general told how again and
again, fighting at St. Eloi under q
murderous fire, Mellish had risked his
life to attend the wounded and bring
them to places of safety. Then there
was a call of three cheers from the
troops and these were given with q
mighty roar.

London.-"Country life In England
will undergo and is undergoing revo-
luton such as England has not wit
messed since the Norman conquest"
In these words Frank Hirst. editor of
the Economist and one of the leading
authorities on economic subjects In
England, summed up one of the most
striking effects of the war. What he
means is that the country gentlemen
of the old school are disappearing,
squeezed out by the high taxation, the
death duties, and killed off in many
instances in the service of their coun'
try. Their places are being taken by
men who have grown rich in supplying
goods that are needed by England's
immense armies, or who are making
tremendous profits out of the necessi-
ties of the people by taking advantage
of the conditions created by the war
what will happen to the stately
mansions of England after the war;
Hr. Hirst asked. He answered MS
question as follows:
"In individual cases the answer de-
ponds on the investments OF the own
ers. A man who has invested In Bra
I'll or Mexico is in specially sad way,
while the man who has put his money
in ships or coal is very fortunate in
deed. But on the whole the fate OF the
landed gentry and of the country seats
depends on taxes
Savings Swept Away.
takes have already risen high
enough to make it certain that most
large houses will be to let or for sale,
for most country people before the
war had places which fitted their In
come. with a comfortable margin for
savings or special expenditure. Most
of them will have to- move into smaller
houses If they can find tenants or pur-
chasers. The doubling and trebling OF
the income tax has swept away the
margin, and the higher the flood OF
taxation rises the fewer country seats
will remain unsubmerged.
"Evidently there will be wholesale
migration and country life will under
20 q revolution such as England mas
not witnessed since the Norman con-
quest, Some of the finest estates. ex-
pect, will be bought up by English and
American contractors who have made
fortunes out of the war office and the
ministry Of munitions. Others will per-
haps be cut up by the labor ministry
and parceled out among disbanded SOL
diers whose jobs are gone and for
whom no other employment can be
found.

about equal to the whole of the private

The ETERNAL BATTLE WITH
BUGS IN THE GARDEN
BY s. M. TAYLOR.


you would save the fruit of your or
chard, field and garden.
Countless days of labor of men and
women are lost, hope turns to disap-
pointment, and ambition blighted be-
cause of the unchecked ravages Of in
sects and disease.
The vital Importance Of spraying is
beginning to be realized by fruit and
vegetable and flower growers, but all
too slowly.
The formulas of the most important
compounds for spraying will be of val
ue to the intelligent and dead-in-ear-
nest grower.
Any of the sprays mentioned can be
applied with comparative safety to
any plant or foliage If moderation and
judgment are used.
Paris Green Formula.
Paris green ................1 Lib.
Fresh (unslaked) lime. ....1 LIB.
water ................z Vo Gals.
Paris green is heavier than water
and the mixture must be kept in con-
slant motion during spraying opera.
lions to prevent settling.
It is often adulterated. Gypsum and
slaked lime are two adulterants com.
monty used.
Pure paris green dissolves without
sediment in ammonia, the adulterant
will not. This affords a simple test
for purity.
Paris green If used on growing
plants greatly in excess Of the above
formula may injure the foliage. The
addition of the lime overcomes the
caustic properties and renders it safe
under all conditions.
Dry paris green may be used pure
If applied in small quantities. Differ
ent dry powder guns have been in
vented for this purpose.
Poison for Biting insects.
Arsenate Of lead .........2 Lbs.
Arsenate of lead is combination Of
white arsenic, sugar Of lead and sal
soda. 1t may be prepared by combin-
ing these materials in proportion, but
the process involves considerable L.
Dor and danger, as the ingredients
must be combined by boiling.
Arsenate of lead is less liable to in
jure foliage than paris green. It re-
mains longer in suspension. It ad-
heres better to foliage. 1t may be
used for any purpose for which paris
green is employed in liquid sprays.
White Hellebore.
Powdered white hellebore is COM
monty employed to destroy currant and
cabbage worms and on fruits and vege-
tables where more poisonous sub
stances cannot be used with safety.
White hellebore ............1 OF.
Water .............-2 or Gals.
It may also be used dry, either alone
or mixed with -four, land plaster, SCOT,
etc.
White hellebore is scarcely poison
GUS to the higher animals and may DO
used freely on fruits and vegetables at
any stage Of maturity.
Used only to destroy sucking in
sects. 1t may be applied to the in.
sects and cannot be used as pre-
ventive. %s..1

sucking insects. H..
