(Sik ‘There is not much risk in buying a herd bull ora boar by mail from a There are swindlers in every occupa- tion and those who have been swindl- ed in buying blooded stock from an advertisment should lose no time in laying the facts before the publishers ment appeared, Those who find that they cannot farm high-priced land at a profit should begin to sit up and take notice of their neighbors. Some of them are farming the same kind of land at a profit or it would not be so high priced. The day of. cheap summer pasture for young stock is past as’far as the corn belt is concerned and the day of providing just fodder enough to pull the cattle through the winter with the idea of having them fatten up on sum- mer pasture went with it. The only way to make cattle pay for their keep now is to kecp them so that they will be growing all the time. If the ground hog is a reliable weather prophet it will be necessary to renew the supply of ‘‘ground hog’’ for the larder and see that there is fuel and feed enough for another six weeks of solid winter. In addition to listing property for taxation the assessors of Iowa are re-| quired to gather crop statistics. In talking with our assessor the other day he told me that wherever he found a good yield of corn a seed corn tester had been used. This was not a surprise to me, but it is a thing to ponder over for those ‘who intend to take the risk of planting untested seed next spring. I always feel that :the handling of sheep develops the kindly half of one’s nature. I never knew a suc- cessful shepherd who was not the very essence of honor and ‘upright~ ness. For this reason I believe it would be better for humanity in” gen- eral if sheep, instead of being raised in large bands, as they are now, could be handled in small numbers so that every farmer could have a few on hand. I have had two or three different horses put out bog spavins as the re- sult of handling heavy loads when they were not accustomed to hard work and my experience leads me to the conclusion that these spavins only develop in a horse that is in- clined to be a little coarse. I have never seen one ona horse that was clean in the bone and of good quality throughout. Ihave rarely been able to save seed corn in such a way that it would grow 100 per cent strong. Last year I picked my seed in September, hung it up three weeks in the crib and then 2 saincscreere ‘The Public be Pleased’ FOR THE Splendid Patronage of 30 years” put itin racks in an upper room of the house. It seemed to be absolute- ly dried out before being stored and it has never been frozen, but in spite of all that care it only germinates about 92 per cent strong. I am ut- terly unable to determine what weak- ened the 8 per cent, though Iam happy to say that none of this corn was absolutely dead. firm that has a reputation: to vaalstaln| of the paper'in which the advertise- |’ \ger, two and one-half cupfuls of ‘quit farming. ,.Of course, there ‘is considerable labor’ connected with feeding out a bunch of steers and hogs, but the work ‘is’ much more agreeable than hauling grain over rrough roads atid there is this advant- age, that you have your income all at dnce rather than in small amounts. Recipes. The Commoner, Colonial Gingerbread—tThis is a loaf cake. To make, put a cupful of New Orleans molasses in a mixing bowl with a half-cupful of butter and a half-cupful of sugar; over this pour a cupful of boiling water in which a| level dessertspoonful of soda has al- ready been dissolved. Stir well and let the mixture cool, then add a cup- ful of chopped walnuts and a cupful of chopped and seeded raisins, a tea- spoonful each of cinnamon and gin- flour, and lastly, two well-beaten eggs. Bake in a shallow pan and serve warm from the oven. _ Fruit Flavoring—This is made from the peels of lemons and oranges. Soak the peels over night in salt and water, and in the morning drain_and cover with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Drain again, throw the water away, and cover again with fresh water, adding enough sugar to make a thick syrup. Bring to a boil and let the peel simmer in this nntil it has be- come tender, and by this time the syrup should have thickened consider- ably, but not to the candying point. Remove from the. fire and put into self.sealing jars at once. Some ‘of the peel, chopped fine, with a little of’ the syrup added, gives a delicious flavor to cake; when preparing for the cake, chop the peel fine, add con- fectioner’s sugar and sufficient water to make it of the right consistency. Endive Sauce—Clean and trim off the outside leaves and place the’ en- dive in a stewpan of boiling water, boiling it for twenty minutes, then immersing in cold water. When cool, squeeze each leaf separately to remove as much water as possible, then remove the roots and ‘chop the leaves fine. Put the chopped leaves ina stew-pan with two ounces of fresh butter, salt, sugar and nutmeg to taste as seasoning, cook five min- minutes, stirring constantly, moisten with a cup of white broth, cover buttered paper, put on the lid and let simmer gently for half an hour; then add a ladel of white saucé, half a pint of sweet cream, reduce quickly over a brisk fire, rub through sieve and serve. Hot Chocolate for Vanilla Ice Cream—Place one pound ‘of light- brown sugar in a graniteware sauce pan, and with it two ounces of scraped bitter chocolgte, one-fourth pint ‘of fresh milk and an ounce of best but- ter. Boil together until if forms a soft ball when dropped into cold water, then take from the stove and flavor with vanilla. Pour into the sauce bowl and serve hot with each portion of cream. The cold cream immediately hardens the hot sauce, which forms a smooth coating oyer it. The two do not unite, and the taste of the two separate flavors is delightful. In preparing the sauce|} - care must be takén thatit is not boiled |] e are very thankful, and by SQUARE DEALING and strictly FIRST CLASS WORK, hope to merit a continu- ance of the same. , We want to Repair your Buggy, t Surrey, Spring Wagons, ete.

Legg Carriage Shop PHONE 284 16-48 East Dakota Dp F, A. Taylo COMPETENT Auctioneeer {am a ratuate ol ona themes ous The Iowa Experiment Station has discovered a new way to fatten stock. All you have to do, according to the method discovered by that station, is to inject turpentine under the skin in the depressions. This results in vio- lent swelling and excruciating pain, but after a time most of the swelling disappears and we presume most of the pain, but it leaves the part fuller than it was before the operation. This plan was most successfully tried out by the station in one case where it was the intention to exhibit the steer in competition with farmers. This might be designated the “‘hurry- up’’ method of fattening cattle. Two years ago. we made consider- able cider at our place and we intend- ed to sell it in the form of vinegar later on. Although it is over two years old it only contains about 2 per cent of acetic acid and the standard too long, elsé the coating will harden too much, making it difficult to man- age with a spoon or fork, while if not boiled long enough, the two flavors are apt to blend. Experience alone can teach the exact stage when done; it may be made early and re-heated before served. Rhubarb Meringue—Cut six pie oranges in halves and temove the centers with a sharp knife and squeeze the juice into a basin. Put into a sauce pan one gill of water}.
