BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
In the NeIahborhood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

As a by-product the yield of potatoes
on the farm Of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta. was somewhat of pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is place, pictured in the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival. and
when he wants to put little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down few notches.. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat
rather unenviable place on the map.
But 1t isn't half as bad as 1t Is pic
tured. Anyway. Ben Pawson likes it.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els of potatoes on two acres of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call 1t.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for S2S5. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this in
the nelghborhood.
If one might speak of hogs In the
same breath In which you speak of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create de-
barment. Taking advantage of this
license 1t will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having n good deal Of
attention. Not long ago. hogs reached
the S23.OO mark on the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much to raise hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost much Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for n DurOc Jersey
Boar? That was all right That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmers
In Western Canada are doing today.
He is acting on the old Saw" that
at costs no more to raise good crit
ter than a poor one" That is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large In the live stock world. The best
is none too good. The same may be
said of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep.
too. The very best slres and dams
of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, 1t is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Advertise-

occasions when quick meal may he
prepared after an afternoons outing.
The cost of the dishes when prepared
at home will be found to be much
less, as odds and ends will make these
appetiZing croquettes, deviled crabs,
and potato salads. Further one has
the assurance that the food is fresh
and wholesome. All the advantages of
the dellcatessen food is Offset by the
possibility of a case of ptomaine pol
soning, as in many stores perishable
foods are not iced and will spoil in
u short time.
Many women have the idea that
home prepared foods cannot be re-
heated which is no doubt the reason
that croquettes, fish cakes, Dreaded
chops and such dishes are so often
purchased, rather than made Mt home.
The following recipes will help the
woman who wishes the delicatessen
fiavors without the price. These dish
es may be prepared In the early morn
ing to re-heat at dinner time.
Ham Loaf.-This may be prepared
from the bits of leftover boiled ham
or from n slice of broiled ham. Take
three cupfuls of finely minced ham,
one small onion also minced, three
sprigs of parsley, one tablespoonful of
prepared mustard and two eggs. Put
the ham, onion and parsley through
the meat grinder, add the eggs and
mustard, beating the eggs and mixing
all the ingredients until well blend
ed, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Pack into n well creased bread pan
and bake In a moderate oven for for
ty-five minutes. Serve hot or cold.
Garnish with chopped egg white and
serve In green pepper cups with to-
mato jelly.
Chicken or Ham croquettes.-Melt
four tablespoonfuls Of butter or any
sweet fat, add five tablespoonfuls of
flour and when well blended add three
quarters of n cup of milk gradually
and cook until thick; then add one
cupful of chicken or ham finely
minced and one egg yolk nsd season
ing of salt and pepper, one teaspoonful
of lemon juice with a little celery
salt. Form into croquettes when cool.
Beat the egg white, add quarter of
cup of water. roll in crumbs and egg
and let stand to become firm. Brown In
hot fat. Reheat in pan well covered
in a hot oven twelve minutes.
We are like little children in our poor
unreason,
As we reach after joys
That at best can please but for a season.
And then are broken toys.

1t takes considerable discrimination
to choose suits for girls who are not
quite grown up or for those who are
grown, but still In their teens. 1t is
not half so simple matter as 1t
seems, to express youth by varying the
cut and finish of garments just
enough to take them out Of the young
woman class and place them In the
young girl company. Generally, In
suits, this is accomplished by making
coats vague as to fit and simple as to
line and by following current fashions,
as becomes youth, at distance. Inc
two suits presented In the picture nre
examples Of good designing to meet
the needs of the miss from fourteen
to nineteen, and they are recommend
ed for young women who affect youth
full styles, providing their figures are
yirlish enough to suit these models.
Jersey cloth, serge, duvetyn or any
Of the standard suitings will make the
smart suit shown at the left of the
picture successfully, but the firmer
weaves appear to be the best choice
for misses suits. This one Is of beige
colored serge trimmed with rows of
narrow silk braid to match and tnsets
Of navy blue taffeta. The skirt Is no.

older women and Is gathered In at the
