The plant will wilt when kept thus, so it should be put into clear cold water the night before wanted at table, and will be crisp and nice for use. Another friend says it should be packed in pits, and kept until wanted. Turn-Overs—Roll out a rich biscuit dough about as thick as thick pie crust, cut into rounds by laying a large saucer or small plate on the dough; on each round lay to one side aspoonful or more of preserved, or stewed or canned fruit boiled down as thick as may be, and fold over the other half of the dough, pressing the edges tightly together; then fry in hot lard until slightly brown; take out and lay on paper to drain thoroughly.

Canned Pumpkin—Peel, and cut up the pumpkin, cook as dry as possible without burning, then add a cupful of sugar for each cupful of pumpkin, with any desired spices; heat thor- oughly and put into cans as solidly as possible, and seal. A pint can is best, as this will make two pies when milk and eggs are added. The sugar and spices will aid in keeping it from spoiling, and will be needed anyway in making the pies. Quince Honey—Three pints of boil- ing water, six pounds of granulated sugar, a piece of alum the size ofa kidney bean, pulverized. Boil all to- gether twenty minutes, then grate five quinces and two sour apples; put the fruit into the boiling syrup and boil twenty minutes longer; then put into fruit cans and seal. This should make about one gallon of honey, and ina gallon jar it will keep the year through; but it is best to seal in small cans.

One of the most important events to the farmer ever held in Bates} county was the Corn Contest, inaug- | urated by the People’s Bank of this | city, which closed Wednesday No-' vember 1, 1911. Early in the season the Bank announced that cash prizes | amounting to $35 would be offered as premiums on corn, any resident of Bates county being eligible to make entry. The premiums were evenly divided between white and yellow! corn, the first prize in each class be- ! ing $10, the second prize, $5, and the third prize, $2.50. Considerable interest was manifest- | ed by corn growers throughout the county, and the entries show that; much thought and care was given to the selection of euch exhibit. The awards were made Friday, November 3, E. E. Laughlin of Hume, Mo, acting as judge. | T. J. Booth of Lone Oak township was declared winner of the first prize on white corn, and T. J. Smith of Elkhart, winner of the first prize on yellow. E. A. Butler of Pleasant Gap | won second prize on white and John; T. Baker of Pleasant Gap second prize | on yellow; Clarence McGovern of | Summit township, third prize on| white, Jerry Callahan, Lone Oak township third prize on yellow. Other exhibitors were: | president of the Missouri State Corn iall to come in and look over the edge of agriculture based upon scientific principles and the Bank was most fortunate to secure his coopera- tion.

Leave thus for three days. Do not use more salt than clings to the meat. It requires no brine—only to be packed tightly together. In three or four days it) will be ready to hang up.

Den- ton, cashier of the Peoples Bank said: “The Peoples Bank is primarily the friend of the farmer of Bates county and anything tending toward his ad- vancement is to our interests, and our corn contest was inaugurated with the end in view to increase and better the production of corn in Bates county. “Corn is one of the foremost products of the county and while the standard among cur farmers is high, there is still room for improvement, and we knew of no better way in which to lend our assistance to the WASHINGTON. outer stems, wrap each bunch well} 5y Clyde H. Tavenner. LETTER. Special Washington Correspond- ent of The Times. Washington, D. C.—The Democrat- ic National Congressional Committeeis leaving no stone unturned to keep the House of Representatives safely Democratic. The headquarters of this organiza- tion in Washington have not been closed during the entire summer. Congressman James T. Lloyd of Mis- souri, chairman of the committee, is personally ‘‘on the job,’’ prosecuting a vigorous campaign of organization work; directing the dissemination of facts showing what.the Democratic House has already accomplished; in- forming the country as to the true purpose of the Democratic program, and in all legitimate ways doing everything he can to bring about national Democratic harmony and co- operation. Mr. Lloyd has more than anticipated the ideal of campaign publicity legis- lation by making it a strict rule to see that every dollar that has been intrusted to the committee has been honestly spent. Under his manage- ment there has been no “‘entertain- ment’’ fund, or anything of that order. No “‘junkets’’ have been financed out of the funds at his disposal. From the first Mr. Lloyd has been deter- mined that the methods of the com- mittee should conform to the highest | standard of business morals. A feature of the committee work in which Mr. Lloyd takes a deep interest is the publicity bureau, -which he is the largest bureau of its kind that the 7 3 cans peas Galton can syrup... 3-ib can beans We want to sell 6 bars Old Country.

Taft ‘‘Economy.”’ Under the Taft policy of ‘‘cut to the quick” economy, which was much talked about when Mr. Taft first went into office, the government overspent its revenues during the first thirty days of October by $4,648,694.

Not an ear was entered in the contest but is considerably above the average, and I believe much superior to the most of the seed corn now being used. The entire 420 ears will re- main on display at the bank through- out the winter, and in the spring will be distributed free of charge to the farmers of the county,’ The exhibition is well-worth seeing and the bank extends an invitation to thoroughly with the mixture, using one part each day for three days suc- | cessively.
