A handy hitching post may be made by either of the methods illustrated herewith Where a rope halter strap is used it can be passed through a staple driven in the top of a post and the loop passed over a round-headed Ui} ijen,! a i . Hu, Hitching Posts, bolt an inch or so beyond the staple as shown in the illustration, says Homestead. Another method is also seen in a part of the illustration to the effect that the rope is doubled and passed through a hole in the post and then passed up over a round- headed bolt. Either of these will an- swer very well for hitching and may be an injprovement over some of the poorer plans of tying. There are those who cannot tle. a halter rope so it will stay tied. Asparagus and Rhubarb, Asparagus and rhubarb are two de. licious vegetables that even the most careless farmer may have an abun dance ff he gives them a chance to grow. Both contain medicinal qualf- ties of the highest value. Asparagus is one of the best remedies for kid- ney troubles, and rhubarb takes the place of nauseous physic in putting the, system in good working order without violently disturbing the func- tions. A small plot devoted to each of these will be a good investment, and there is time enough to make a start this year. Cement Protects the Spring. Concrete is displacing the barrel as a protection for springs on the farm. It never rots, it protects the spring, and keeps the water free from sur- face impurities, A young farmer recently invented an ingenious device for making con- crete water barrels. He took two wooden barrels of different sizes, knocked the heads out of both, put the smaller inside the larger, and filled the space between them with concrete, and a concrete barrel wag the result. . Light Soils for Potatoes. Lighter soils usually produce pota- toes of better quality, because they tend to shorten the growing period by cutting off the water supply and thus . forcing the potatoes to mature earlier.

She's al ways been perfectly crazy about Bob and she'll be utterly furious! She'll try to make people think she could have had him if she'd wanted him; but every one knows how she has chased him for months | wonder tf any one will send Arthur a_ paper Poor boy! It will be such a blow to him! If ever a man was devoted to a girl he was to me_ (['ll always feel that I've ruined his life. He’s one of the constant kind that never gets over such a disappointment. 1 wisb § could decide whether | want a white satin or a crepe meteor wedding dress The Man Himself—Yes, they've got ny name spelled right, after all. Gee! It's something like reading your own obituary notice, it’s so formal! Any- how, it's nobody's business but ours and | don't see any use of all this fool- ishness in print! Every idiot [ know’ll be around to see me to-morrow and tell me how to be happy though mar- ried! Well, it will settle McKenzie all right—he won't be sending Edith flowers now in that airy, oh-I've-got-a- chance-yet way of his. I always want. ed to kick him. Robert Rogerson Fairburn—yes, that’s me, all right Well, life begins to look real and earn- est now I wonder if Ethel won't kind of think when she reads this that maybe she wasn’t so bright after all running off and marrying Smith just because she had quarreled with me She’s had three years of pretty rough sledding with him. Of course it’s All for the best so far as I'm concerned, but—I wonder! Lilllan—What! You- don't. tellme Rob ts really engaged to Edith! Well, what do you think of that! It’s most remarkable how men do these weird things when they are reduced to des: peration, isn't it? Poor Bob! Of course Edith is a very nice girl—so capable and domestic and all that— but, my dear, did you ever see a girl £0 dowdy, and with so little style? 1 am sure Mrs. Noah did her hair up in precisely that same way in the days of the ark. Bob always did love pret- ty things—that’s one reason he hung around me so much. Some men never notice a new gown or a smart hat, but he always does. No, I’m awfully fond of Bob, but mercy! I never could fall in love with him! Never! | sup pose he realized it at last! Poor Bob! Arthur—Hello! Edith’s marry Bob Fairburn! Well, well! Nice little girl, Edith! Seems to me | had a crush on her myself once She had the biggest brown eyes—no that wasn't Edith—it was Mabel 1 remember now that Edith’s eyes were blue. Or were they hazel? Where in creation did I put that tobacco? Hey ~-Ferguson! Got any tobacco? going to McKenzie (who sent flowers to Edith)—One by one the roses fall! So Edith is going to shake us all for Lob Fairburn! [t was worth the flor ists’ bills, getting him mad He seemed to think that every one was in a conspiracy to take his girl away from him. Edith’s too quiet for me But tt paid to stand in with the family -her father’s tips on the stock mar- ket were all right Ethel (who married Smith)—Oh, Teddy! Guess who's going to get married now—one of my old beaux! No, not that one—Bobbie Fairburn’ ‘Vhy. of course you remember him! de took me to that party where | first met you and was crazy mad be- cause you had four dances! | used to think | rather liked him, but that was before you came along! 1! can't Imagine why I ever was so foolish Gcodness! What ff I had really mar. ‘fed him: | had an awful time work ‘ng up a quarrel with him so as to let hima down easily 1 hated to be down ‘ight brutal and drop him, so I seized an the first chance for a fight. It was awfully funny, now that I think of it! Well, Bobbie was a nice boy in his .wu way I wonder who she is— i never heard of her. Edith’s Relatives (individually and zollectively)—Weil. | suppose ~ this means another wedding present. It was perfectly idiotic of grandfather to start that custom of always giving the arides in the family solid silver. Some. thing tess expensive would do exact ly as well. 1 suppose Edith will ex pect a huge tray just because her cousin got one from us. Maybe we zan strike a sale. Anyhow, she is throwing herself away on Bob Fair. burn. His family are simply nobodies. Well, she’s 26 and 1 suppose she had to take what she could get. Bob's Relatives—And when he had such a:good chance to marry Senator Goldmine’s daughter! - And her shaky social position and her father and all! Why, he’s simply burying himself. Bob always was stubborn. What can he see in Edith? She simply angied ior him, that's all, and a man is so velpless!

This name is commonly given to in- expensive cuts of beef chopped, sea- soned a little, shaped into small balls or into one large thin cake, and quickly broiled in the way that a ten- der steak would be. Owing to the quick cooking much of the natural fla- vor of the meat is developed and re- tained. The-tact should be kept in mind that Hamburg steak must be made from fresh, well-ground meat. It {s much saiv: to chop the meat at home, as chopped meat spoils very quickly. Much depends, too, upon browning {t sufficiently to bring out the flavors. Many cooks think that Hamburg steak is improved if the meat ‘s mixed with milk before it is cooked. In some parts of the country, and particularly in some of the Southern states, two kinds of beef are on sale. One is imported from other parts of the country and is of higher price. The other, known locally as “native beef,” ls sometimes lacking in flavor and in fat and is usually tougher. Southern aative beef, such as is raised in Flori da, is almost invariably, however, of extremely good flavor, due presumably to the feed or other conditions under which it is raised. By chopping such meat and cooking it as Hamburg steak, a dish almost as palatable as the best cuts of the more expensive beef may be obtained. It such cases, however, lt is desirable because of the low per- centage of fat to add-suet or butter to the meat. The reason for this is that {n the cooking the water of ‘he juice when unprotected by fat evaporates too quickly and leaves the meat dry. This may be prevented by adding egg as well as fat, for the albumen of the egg hardens quickly and tends to keep mn the juices. The proportion should be one egg to 1% pounds of meat. HEIGHT OF CULINARY ART Preparation of Savory Gravies and Sauces Is the Test of the Competent Cook. The art-of preparing savory. gravies and sauces is more important in con- nection with the serving of the cheap- er meats than in connection with the cooking of the more expensive, There are a few: general principles anderlying the making of all sauces or gravies, whether the liquid used is wa- ter, milk, stock, tomato juice, or some combination of these. For ordinary gravy two level tablesponfuls of flour, or 1% tablespoonfuls of cornstarch or arrowroot is sufficient to thicken a cupful of Mquid. This is true except- ing when the flour is browned. In this case about one-half tablesponful more should be allowed, for browned flour does not thicken so well as un- browned, The fat used may be butter or the drippings from the meat, and the allowance being two tablespoon- tuls to a cup of liquid. The easiest way to mix the ingredi- ents is to heat the fat, add the flour and cook until the mixture ceases to bubble, and then to add the liquid. This is a quick method, and by using {t there is little danger of getting a umpy gravy. Many persons, however, think it is not a wholesome method and prefer the old-tashioned one of thickening the gravy by means of flour mixed with a little cold water. The latter method is of course not yracticable for brown gravies. Pumpkin Pie, Add the beaten yolks of four eggs TC Farmers Bank BATES COUNTY BUTLER, MO.

The best way to keep the walls of the kitchen white and glossy is to wash their painted surface with bran water instead of soap. Boil one pint of bran in a gallon of water for an hour. The paint will look better and keep clean longer when washed with this than when cleaned with soup or water. Salmon Loaf. Mince one can of salmon, removing all bfts of bone.
