large deposit of pure agate of very
fine quality. The specimen shown

at 50 cents pound. 1t is moi

In the early COS many fine speci

may revive the interest OF early

An indispensable Christmas dish Of
ancient times was ~frumenty" or

and bray it in mortar until the hulls
be all gone of, and seethe It until 1t
burst, and take 1t up and let it cool !:
and take clean. fresh broth and sweet
milk Of almonds or sweet milk Of kline
and temper it all; and take the yOlks
Of eggs. Boil it a little and set 1t
down and mess It forth with fat veni-
son or fresh mutton" Frumenty was
often served alone without venis0n or
mutton. When served by itself it was
well sweetened.

The farm bureau is an Oragniza-
ton that the farmers ought to back
to the limit. It has the interests
Of the farmers at heart and its work
is not hampered by political mo-
tives. The attitude of the tarm
bureau toward the Wheat Growers
Association is good illustration Of
the fairness of the organization.
The Bureau neither recommended
nor condemned the Association, but
it caused meetings to be held a.
mong the farmers of the various
communities, under the auspices OF
the farm bureau, and had prominent
members OF the Association speak
to the farmers and explain the
merits and the obejct of the As
soclation. 1t was then left to the
judgment of the individual whether
to join or not.
The Farm Bureau is now organic.

mount of good accomplished will
