Butler, Me. IS thirst he slakes at some pure neighboring brook, Nvi ot.» for sauce where appetite stands cook, —Churchill, A Balanced Ration for the Family. A few ideas on menu making with housewife. In preparing a meal, if a heavy soup, like cream soup is used, the main dish of meat should be less hearty, as the cream soup is very nu- tritious. When fish is served a heartier dessert is allowable, to give a well-balanced ration. For a day's ration for the ordinary individual, twelve to sixteen ounces of meat is sufficient; the same amount of flour and grains, eight to ten ounces of potatoes, six to eight ounces of fresh vegetables and fruits, le- gumes and dry fruits each one ounce. sugar two to three ounces, milk four to sixteen ounces, butter one to two ounces and egg two ounces, Multiply this by thirty, and we have an allowance for a person a month. This 1s a ration worked out by Miss Barrows, of which she writes: “If the larger quantity of potatoes is used the smaller quantity of flour and grains would be ample; while if eggs were cheap and several were con: sumed, there would be a correspond- ing reduction in the amount of meat and fish, People who try to live very econom- ically and so buy the cheaper foods, are likely to have too little protein food, while those who have an abund- ance are apt to take too much and overload the system, causing various diseases. It is not necessary or practical tor a housekeeper to estimate the fdod principles in each dish she serves, but by balancing accounts once in a tew weeks by the daily ration, she may know whether she is meeting the needs of her family. Of course, one must consider that the growing boy needs f6od to supply heat and energy and at the same time build up bone and muscle. The growing boy needs as much food as the grown man. The man in the office does not need the amount of food that the farmer work- ing in the open air finds necessary, so that our rations should conform to the age, occupation, climate and condi- tion of health. If we are to be a nation of people who do things, we must have clear brains and healthy bodies, and food is the most important factor. we are built like angels, With hammer and chisel and pen, We will work for ourselves and a wom- an, for ever and ever Amen. —Rudyard Kipling. National Salads. The following salads may be. prop- erly termed national, as they are the favorite salads of the people in the several countries the name of which is given the salad. German Salad With Sausage.—Boll four frankfort sausages twenty min- utes, cut in half-inch pieces. Boil halt @ pound of sauer kraut ten minutes, drain and cool and mix with the sau- sage. Cut up two winter radishes and arrange around the salad. Sprinkle with minced onion or shal- lot, pickles and capers, chill and serve with French salad dressing. Russian Tomato Salad.—Arrange a bed of torn lettuce leaves in a salad bowl. Peel four tomatoes of medium size, cut fine and mix with six sar- dines chopped, after skin and bones are removed. Place on lettuce and serve with either mayonnaise or French dressing. Cuban Salad.—Breakup four dry soda crackers, shred two sweet Span- ish peppers, removing core and seeds. Slice very thin one Spanish onion, skin, bone and mince six anchovies and mix all together. Serve on let- tuce with French dressing. Nontese Salad—Bake four mild flavored onions until tender, remove the tops and put a lump of butter on each. Season with salt and when cold cut in quarters. Add four quartered eggs and six sardines, chopped. Add parsley and mix a_ teaspoonful of curry with mayonnaise or boiled dressing, and serve. American Salad—Mix equal parts of finely cut celery and apple, half the amount of broken nut meats and serve with a boiled or mayonnaise dressing. Didn’t Seem So to Him. “Here’s a colmun headed,‘ Slum- mary of the News.’ What a funny mistake!" said his wife. The old subscriber glanced at the sensational headlines on the first page of the Morning Garbage Can. “No,” he said; “it may be a typo, graphical blunder, but it’s a a mis take.” . recipes are usually welcomed by the- _ FARM FURROWS. Farmer and Stockman. February is sometimes called the short and ugly month, but the past one seems to have been trying to give us about everything in the weather man’scatalog in order to please every- body. It is not a good plan to put off the seed cleaning until nearly time to be- gin seeding. There are many things to look after about that time of the year, and if everything is left until the last minute the seed cleaning is liable to be neglected. Some of the advocates of a special seed grain plot are claiming that the large grains selected by the fanning mill will produce short heads with only a few large grains, thereby re- ducing the yield instead of increasing it. Their plan is to go into the field of ripe grain and select some of the largest and best heads they can find and store them away to sow ona specially prepared plot of ground to raise the seed for the next year’s crop. There are a few who object to the use of the grain drill, because, ac- cording to their theory, it gives the weeds a chance to come up between the rows to grain and get a start be- fore the grain is big enough to shade the ground. The users of the drill, however, don’t seem to worry any. If the damages caused by cattle, horses and hogs breaking through poor fences could he collected and spent in building real fences almost every farm would be well fenced and equipped with modern gates. And again, if the time that is spent in chasing after cattle, horses and hogs that have broken through fences, that are not real fences, could be spent, in building good fences, they |; would be well built and there would be time to spare. The chronic loafer cannot see any sense in the oid saying that ‘‘time is money.’’ Taking his own case as an example, he has all.the time there is, but money is usually a scarce article. The hired man who makes a prac- tice of smoking while doing chores about the barns should be fired be- fore he has occasion to explain just how it happened that he set fire to the hay or straw in the barn. The farmer, as a rule, is not inter- ested in politics, but some of them have noticed that many a deadlock has been unlocked with a key, part of which looks something like this $. The tongue truck for disk harrows has come into such general use that it is now regarded as part of the ma- chine. The tongue truck for binders is not in such general use, but if the horses could do the buying they would be. A friend in the next township sprung a new idea on me one day last week. He puts a small quantity of dry, air-slacked lime into this hog feed\every day, and thinks it does eae lot of good. As an instance of its influence, he said that last fall he had bought a young male hog which ranted and fretted until he be- gan to lose flesh and thrift. Under the lime treatment he soon quieted down and began to grow and lay on flesh. Sometimes the local papers calling upon the farmers to drag the roads sound ridiculous. Once I went to town and found the very worst trav- eling in the streets instead of in the country highway, and at that time the paper of that town was dinging at the farmers to drag the roads. This is the age of double-row tools. Nearly everyone who buys a stalk cutter now buys a double-row ma- chine. Fora few dollars more the capacity of the machine is doubled, and that is made back in short .order in the time it takes to cut, or rather, the time it does not take to cut 100 acres of stalks. If you have had trouble keeping the ends on small hog troughs, try fastening them with wire. Nail the ends on in the usual way, then bind wire lengthwise, fastening in place with small staples. No. 12 galvanized wire is the kind to use for the ordi- nary small trough. If what the neighbors do is any- thing to judge by—and it usually is— the creameries and the country but- ter trade is going to notice a wonder- ful falling off in receipts soon. The strippers are being turned dry, many of the new calves that come are al- lowed to run with their mothers, and milking is cut down in every way possible, because, as they all say, it does not pay. Sometimes it pays big to harrow behind the plow, and again it adds to the work necessary to get the field in shape for planting.

My best luck has been to sow with a drill, just as if it were wheat or oats, except that the depth is set in the shallow notch. Real Estate Transfers.
