ee ONLY FOR SEASONED PALATES Dish | } Chili Con Carne, a Mexican Was Never Intended for the Nursery. t | " The Mexicans have a dish known as “chili con carne” (meat with chili pepper), the ingredients for which one would doubtless have difficulty in obtaining except in the southwestern | United States. However, a good sub- stitute for it may be made with the foods available in all parts of the country. The Mexican recipe ts as fel- iows: Remove the seeds from two chill peppers, soak the pods in a pint of warm water until they are soft, scrape the pulp from the skin and add to the water. Cut two pounds of beef into small pleces and brown in butter or drippings. Add a clove of garlic and the chili water. Cook until the meat is tender, renewing the water if nec: essary. Thicken the sauce with flour, Serve with Mexican beans either mixed with the meat or used as a bor- der, In the absence of chili peppers, water and cayenne pepper may be used, and onions may be substituted for garlic. For the Mexican beans, red kidney beans either fresh or ) canned make a good substitute. If A Om mam -_— Ao County Court. County court met in regular ses sion Monday, May 2, 1910.

New York, May 1.—Leading a dozen big Missouri mules on board the Atrato of the Royal Mail Steam Pack- et Company this afternoon and the especial coaxing, pushing, slamming, damning and finally winchingme extra big gray mule, held back the Steamship fifteen minutes after the hour of departure. The consignment of mules was for Savanillal Columbia. The improvised stable on the main deck had filled up to the number of seven stalls when the big gray mule refused to enter the box on the pier. He was cajoled, pulled, blindfolded, sworn at and pushed, but, mule-like, he would not budge. All the arts of the horse and cattle men were plied, but it was no use. “Damn it!’ said Captain Ceret, who took British troops out to South Africa during the Boer War, “you don't know how to handle mules. Twist his tail and he’ll come on board.” Then ropes were passed around the kick end of the mule and there was a signal to the negroes who manned the levers of the winches. Silently the ropes tightened and the mule, kicking frantically with his forefeet, was pulled up the gangway to the deck. A few more pulls and he was fast ina stall and then the four re- maining mules went up the gangway with but little trouble. Why You Need a Silo. The silo will enable you to increase the amount of stock you are carrying on the farm. This should be the aim of every farmer for it seems the maintaining of ihe suil fertility. It enables you to increase the pro- Hie 0 g OU C a very materially decreases the cost of producing it. With silage you can prevent shrinkage in the flow of milk, which takes place in the late summer and early fall. It is the most economical feed for stock at this time of year when pastures are short and dry. You can also keep up the flow of milk during the winter when butter- fat prices are most favorable. Winter dairying can be carried on in a Satis- factory and profitable way with the silo. About forty per cent of the feeding value of the corn plant is in the leaves and the stalks. With the silo you |save all of this forty per cent, which | is often wasted.” It makes a palatable feed of stuff, ,which would not be | New York Public Library vill- Dozen Spurn Ocean Ride Until | e#ten- It enables the farmer to get more fall plowing done than he otherwise would. There are no aggravating corn stalks in the manure where Silage is fed. It saves the drudgery of feeding and makes the hired man more satis. fied with his position. The young stock is kept ina heal- thy, snappy, growing condition. Old stock wintered on silage comes through into the spring ina much better condition than stock wintered on dry feed.—Missouri Dairyman, Lydia Josephine Riley. Mrs. Lydia Josephine Riley, be- loved wife of J. W. Riley, departed this life at her home on North Main street Saturday morning, April 30, 1910, aged 64 years, 2 months and 9 days. Lydia Josephine was born in Ed- gar county, Illinois, February 21, 1846. She was united in marriage to J. W. Riley in March, 1867, and to this union was born one son, D. V. Riley of this city. In 1869 Mr. and Mrs. Riley moved to Missouri, locat- ing in this city where they have since resided. Mrs. Riley has for somé time suf- fered from heart disease and had for some time been confined to her room. She was a good woman, well be- loved by all who knew her, and a multitude of friends mourn with the bereaved husband and son. Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Carter, were held at the Ohio street M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock and interrment was made in Oak Hill cemetery. LaFollette’s Cousin Killed By Lightning. Greenfield, Mo., May 2. —Joseph LaFollette, an aged farmer living near Everton in this county and a first cousin of the Wisconsin senator, was killed by lightning while sitting in his home during a thunder storm Sun- day. The bolt penetrated the roof of the building and struck directly on the man’s head, splitting his clothing the length of his body and stripping his shoes from his feet. Mr. LaFollette was formerly a resi- dent of Bates county, and resided in Summit township, and is a brother of Taz LaFollette. Charley LaFollette left Tuesday to attend the funeral.
