pass today.
Advantages of Dairying
Among the many advantages OF
dairying as a business are as follows
/. 1t is highly profitable when wei
conducted because it markets the
crops of the farm in the most valu.
able form, and because it is business
which is capable of almost indefinite
development.
2. 1t is good for the farm because
crops are fed at home and because the
demand for protein feed brings much
nitrogen to the land.
3. Butter is absolutely destitute OF
fertilizing value, and if the milk be-
fed almost no fertility leaves the
| farm.
A. One of the disadvantages Oh
most farming is the irregular income
weeks and even months passing with
no cash receipts. The dairy checks
however, are not only frequent but
regular throughout the year, an adj
vantage appreciated by those who
have kept cows and had the expert
enee of steady income.

We circled in revel for ages above the
Assyrian stream,
While babylon builded her beauty, and
faded to dust and to dream.
We scattered our laughter on nations
and Troy was word and q
The glory of Carthage was ruined
the grandeur OF Rome was ef-
faced!
And we blaoned the name OF Timour
as he harried his herd OF kings
And the host of his hordes wound on
dragon with undulant rings
And we slid down the wind upon
France, when the steps of the
earthquake passed,
When the Bastile bloomed into flame
and the heavens went by on the
blast.
We hung over Austerlitz, cheering
the armies with jubilant cries;
We scented three kings at the car
mage, and croaked our applause
from the skies.
o kings, We have catered to vultures
have chosen to feed us, for
sooth,
The joy of the world and her glory
the hope Of the world and her
youth.
o kings, We are diligent lackeys; we
laurel your names with oui
praise,
For We are the stuff of our comfort
for We are the strength of our
days.

Noting his figure, and voice and style,
Wondering how that one small heaa
Contained all he knew, and thought

Impatient, then, i turned away
To hear him shout, "Utility!"
On the street the chill wind roared,
The fieecy snow in eddies scared,
In the hall the arcs bright light
Made daylight out of the black of

Resting in good armchair

Just before me in his cage
A cock bird paced as in a rage.
Impatient there he strobe about

That he alone l should survey,
Of him alone that / should say,
He was the best upon the earth,
All others there of humble birth.
His lofty comb six deep serrations

The wattles were of such a length
They seemed to nae to test his

The white lobes Of almond shape
My practiced eye could not escape.
His sable plumage, with emerald

Would suit the wardrobe of a queen.
The long, curved sickles of the tail,
It's proper height could not conceal.
His shanks like polished ebony shone,
They had good length and strength OF

Redding. Aug. 15-The four acre
lot at Redding Center owned by Miss
Eleanor Dayton, has been purchased
by a combination of citizens whose
object was to forestall a change of
ownership which, would make it's ac-
,auisition by the town difficult and per-
haps impossible. At present the lot
Ia used as drill ground for the
Home Guard and also as play ground
by the children attending the Center
school. Leaving out of account the
public square or rather triangle it
constitutes practically the only site
available for the new town house
which Redding badly needs and doubt

Many have regarded the square refer

AMERICANS FORCED

Copenhagen, Aug. 15.-An American
Of German birth. who was permitted
to leave Germany recently, says that
the military authorities there are
commencing to take American cifi-
zens, long resident in Germany, for
military service, on the grounds that
they have forfeited their American
citizenship and are now ,denational-
lied. Even native-born Americans, he
says, have in soce instances been put
into the army, but the military duty
usually applies to naturaHzed citizens
Of German origin.
The procedure of the military au-
thorities agains THE so-called State
less individuals repeatedly has been
the subject of Interpretations in the
Reichstag. usually in the case of Bel
gian residents in Germany, but the
authorities refuse to change their at
titude.
The Americans, a number Of whom
have protested to the Spanish EN-
bassy, 1t Is believed here, have little
hope of escaping service.

as the clerk of the board was rendered
some time ago and has been held up
while the board members were en-
deavoring to locate someone to sue

and the only solution of the difficulty
was to raise MT. Cooney's salary $500

last night voted to make it $1,000 a
year instead of $500. This will enable
Mr.. Cooney to engage an assistant to
look after the detail clerical work of

the same care and efficiency as in the
past. He will thereby be able to de-
vote the necessary time to his own

it does, Mr.. Cooney in the office he

meat is naturally somewhat dry, as
much as possible of the juices should
be retained in cooking it. The follow
ing standard recipes for preparing rab-
bit apply to mature animals of wild
and domestic kinds. For young Bel
glan hares weighing five pounds or
less and young wild rabbits the time
OF cooking may be somewhat reduced.
Baked Rabbit en- CasseroIe.-Lay
alternate layers of rabbit and thin
slices of bacon, season with thyme,
sage, thinly sliced onions, and salt to
taste. Fill the dish with water, bake
in slow oven for one and q half
hours. a covered baking dish or pan
may be used instead of a casserole,
and the meat may be bOned or not
as desired
Rabbit Fricassee.-Brown some but
ter in hot iron skillet. Then fry the
hare, previously cut up, brown on both
sides. Next cover the meat with hot
water and stew until it is thoroughly
tender. seasoning it to taste. AT the
end of the stewing, let the meat again
fry brown.
Rabbit Pot Pie.-Cut dressed rab-
bit into small pieces; salt and let
stand overnight. Place the cut pieces
in pot previously filled with warm
water enough to cover the meat. Put
in Il medium-siZed onion, sliced, and
stew over a medium fire until the meat

dough in the proportions of one quart OF
flour half teaSpOOnful of salt and
tablespoonful of baking powder, with
enough water to give ii proper con-
sistency. Roll out fiat as for pie crust,
spread lard over the surface; fold and
reroll twice, spreading lard each time.
Line the pan bottom and sides with
dough and fill with meat and alternate
layers of potato in small pieces and
few small onions. Use the thickoned
broth from the stew pot as u gravy,
pouring 1t into the pan over the con
tents. Cover with dough, place IL an
oven, and bake for an hour, or until
the whole upper crust is light golden
brown; serve hot.
The above recipes are offered mere
ly as suggestions. The hind legs and
saddles of the rabbit contain much
meat and may be cooked in many diff
ferent ways; boned, they make deli
c!ous croquettes. The front quarters
and head may be used as soup stock;
the broth may be seasoned to taste
and served with vegetables, barley.

PUT MACHINES UNDER COVER
Prices Have Advanced Greatly and
Proper Care of Farm Imple-
ments Will Pay Well.

Word is being sent out to farmers
over the country to take special pains
this fall and winter to protect their
machines. Prices have advanced
greatly. and care of farm machinery
will pay doubly well this year. So the
word is going out:
To put machines under cover as
soon as the seasons work with them
is over.
To go over every machine carefully
as soon as opportunity will permit,
tightening bolts, replacing broken
parts, and oiling carefully to prevent
rusting.
To paint machines, as painting
lengthens the life of a machine
Bridge paint is suggested as the best
for iron parts.
