Ways to Use Dried Peaches.

The waters in which dried peaches, pears,
prunes and other dried fruits are soaked may
replace the morning orange juice Dried
peaches soaked in water to cover will in
twelve hours yield palatab)e fruit juice, and
if left for twenty-four the liquid around them
will be like strip without any cooking what
ever and can be used with carbonated or min
eral waters.
Dried fruit must first be inspected carefully,
and any defects cut out. Then rinse and
finally let stand in water a few minutes before
giving them a genuine washing, handling each
piece. After that give them another rinsing,
then put to soak.
The soaked halves of peaches may be used in
most of the ways in which fresh peaches are
used. Fried in butter with a little sugar,
they have much the flavor of fresh peaches
cooked in the same way.
Soaked peaches cooked and put thru
strainer may then be made into delicious
conserve or marmalade such as the French
use in uniting puff pastry with other sweet
compounds.
With whipped cream and soft custard this
marmalade makes a pleasing dessert Three
foul tbs of cup of sugar and the same amount
of water is sufficient for half pound of
peaches, and this, with a custard made of one
cup of milk one egg. and two tablespoons OF
sugar, IS enough for four people. Put the Gus
tard into serving glasses, add the peaches or
che peach malmalade, and then whipped
cream.

This cake will delight the children

Divide the batter into three equal
parts and color each differently. One
part.may be left white, one part
darkened with chocolate, and the
third colored pink with reliable
fruit coloring.
Oil the round cake tins and III them
arrange the batter in three divisions.
The first tin may have ring of
white batter round the edge, next a
ring of pink with the center filed
with the dark batter; the second tin
would then have pink round the edge,
chocolate next and white in the cen
tet; the third tin would have choco-
late for the outer circle, white next
and pink in the center. Make each
strip of batter as nearly equal in
width as possible.
When the three layers have been
put together with white icing. a
slice from the cake will contain nine
squares.

REPRESENTATIVE ON
RAIL COMMISSION
Northwestern Wisconsin Sets
Forth Reasons for Rep
resentation on State
Railroad Body.

The request is preferred by the dis
trict comprising the counties of Doug
las, Bayfield,, Ashland, Iron, Burnett,
Washington, Sawyer, Price, Polk, Bar,
ron, Rusk, Taylor, Chippewa, Dunn,
st. Croix. Pierce, Pepin, Eau Claire,
Clark, Trempealeau, La Crosse, Jack
son and Monroe.
The population of this territory
was in 1910. 497,OOO being then two
firths of the total population of the
state. The same proportion exists to-
day.
The male voting population Of these
counties is approximately 10000.
The area of this territory is 21,000
square miles, over one-third the total
area of the state.
Within its limits there are undevel-
oped water powers amounting to 3OO,-
600 horse power; developed powers of
more than 100000 horse power; up
wards Of 10000 telephones: more than
5000 miles of main and branch line
railroads; about 400 miles of electric
railways; 10000 miles of long distance
telephone lines; 11,0O0 miles Of tele-
graph lines: more than score of cit
les with local gas utilities, and up
wards of 40 with publicly and private
ly owned water systems.
The railroad, telephone and tele-
graph rates affecting all these COM
munities and the large and small job
bling centers have been arbitrarily
raised during government control,
without reference to the bearing that
arbitrary and horizontal raises have
had upon the commercial and indus
trial fortunes of localities which have
been built up on old rating systems
which have taken into account ton
nages, seasonal demands, etc. With
the restoration of state control, unless
complete and sympathetic revision
of these rates is made with the help
of someone familiar with and sympa-
thetic with the Industrial and COM
mercial conditions which have been
built up, there is danger of grave dis
turbance of existing industrial and
commercial relations.
This territory has never had rep
resentative on the Wisconsin Rail-
road Commission. On the eve of
prospective great development it be-
lieves that such representation is due
it, due its potentialities of growth,
and reciprocally due the whole state
from the standpoint that the section
under question cannot have it's growth
promoted without consequent benefit
to the whole commonwealth.

pounds will cost the buyer 48 6 cents
a pound On the other hand, lot
costing $40 and containing IS per cent
of pure seed, of which 80 per cent will
grow, will contain 85.5 pounds Of
good seed to the hundred, and will
cost the consumer 46.7 cents for ev-
cry pound of good seed. Have the
seed tested and be ready to act early
and intelligently.
In general, it is well to SOW alsike
clover mixed with the red clover, a
practice which has become very COM
mon in recent years. It is much east
er to secure stand of alsike than of
red clover, SO the admixture of alsike
usually insures partial stand at
least. Alsike will make a growth on
poor soils where red clover will fail,
but it nevertheless appreciates lime
and good SOIL
On account of the high price of
seed it is desirable to economic as
far as practicable in the rate Of seed
ing. One pound of red clover con-
tains 250,00O seeds, enough to place 6
seeds on each square foot of an acre;
while alsike contains about 100000
seeds to the pound Nevertheless,
the ordinary rate of seeding for red
clover is s to 10 pounds an acre and
for olciIza oInn,,t y,0rrJc II Sc owl
dent that the amount of seed neces-
sary to get stand can be greatly re-
duced if methods can be used that
will insure the survival of larger
percentage of the seedlings. Several
methods assist materially in obtain
ing stand, particularly in wheat,
and the following are recommended:
Sow at the mosG favorable time as
regards soil condition and cover the
seed by sowing and then narrowing
or by narrowing both before and af
ter sowing, or the clover may be
sowb with disk drill. By any one
of the methods any injury to the
wheat or timothy sown in the wheat
is negligible.
If barnyard manure is available it
will greatly assist in securing a stand,
even when the clover seed has been
sown on the snow covering or on the
wheat without narrowing. Straw is
likewise very useful, but less efficient
than manure. Either the manure or
the straw assists largely by reducing
the alternate pudding and baking of
the soil surface and thus protecting
the seedlings from destruction.
