The family of Robert Gift has joined him at Weller’s Spur, where they will remain for the winter. ; The Ladies Aid society of the Christian church meet at the home of Mrs. J. H. Hollingrake Thursday this week. A number of farm landygales wer made in this section last week, mostly to Iowa farmers moving to this ceuntry. Last Saturday a carload of cattle was shipped to Sovth St. Paul by | J. M. Jewell. This is the first car-) load lot of cattle ever shipped out | of Cohasset. Most of the farmers around Cohas-} set were fortunate enough to have | their potatoes gathered before the freeze, and a heavy crop is report- | ed by all of them. Louis Bertram was picked a few} days ago by the game warden for | trapping musk-rats out of seasom for which offence he had to pay a penalty of $12. | J. L. Dineen and J. H. Seaver of | Hill City were here Monday buying! supplies and material from Wood- enware plant for use im their mill at the former place. | Town supervisors Laneand Stock» well were out. Monday looking over several pieces of road work being | done for the town. They report | good work being done on the Lake | road. The Baker brothers are busy | threshing along the up-river road. The farmers up that way report an exceptionally gocd yield. The oat | crop is especially fine, and in some instances 85 bushels to the acre is reported. George H. O’Brien assumed his duties as postmaster of Cohasset Monday morning. The postoffice | has been moved to the building belonging to Mrs. Cook, just) west of the hotel. The market of O'Brien &Jutras occupies the rear of the same room. Fred Heileman, son-in-law of S. H. Thompson, arrived here last Wednesday from Fort Dodge, Iowa, accompanied by Miss Jane Thomp- son. They have been busy for several days in straightening up the books and looking after other affairs of Mr. Thompson in con- nection with the Superior Wooden- ware company. Mr. Heileman re- turned to Fort Dodge Saturday, ‘and it is understood he is to go from there to Chicago to take up the matter of continuing operations at the mill with interested parties in that city. Miss Thompson re- turns home today. Vital Albert. who has been work- ing on the road west of Cohasset, had a narrow escape from death Saturday. In blasting rock read two sticks of dynamite were set and one failed to explode. Albert, thinking the fuse had gone ‘out, went over to see what the cause was, and just as he leaned over the dynamite it wert off. hurling him high into the air, cut- ting his scalp and face. Fortunate- lly he did not receive the full force | of the concussion or he woud have been killed. He was taken to the hospital at Grand Rapids and his ~wounds dressed, and was able to leave the hospiia! the next day. BETTER METHODS IN POTATO GROWING |New University Farm Bulletin Will be Helpful to Minnesota Farmers, In 1912 the area planted to pota- toes in Minnesota was 245,000 acres, with an average yield of 135 bushels per acre, at an average; cost of about $25 per acre. The profits in potato-growing could be | inereased by the introduction of | better varieties, the control and | elimination of disease, the selec- | tion of seed and improved methods of culture, according to Farmers’ | Library Bulletin 38, by A.R. Kohler, recently published by the Exten-{ sion Division. Minnesota College of | Agriculture. In this bulletin Mr. Kohler dis- cusses the kind of soil best adapt- ed ta potato growing, the use of fertilizers of various kinds, and the preparation of the soil. The ground should be plowed in the fall, especially if sod is used and plowed deeply, seven or eight inches if the soil will stand it, and then disked once or twice. The methods of cutting potatoes for seed. the use of potato planters, ‘and the cultivation of the growing crop are described, followed by a discussion of sprays and how and when to apply them to the best advantage. Digging, storing, and marketing are taken up in a!comprehensive svay and a list of the varieties best adapted to Minnesota is given.

The Reishus-Remer Land com- pany report considerable activity im farming lands in this neighbor- |hood during the past week. One of, the most gratifying circumstances } connected with the transfers made | is the fact that the purchasers are practical farmers who are leaving less favored sections and moving here with the intention of remain-| ing and building a home. Two of | \these new residents, John Craig | land Henry Erdman, are from Am-' boy, Minn. Mr. Craig purchased 160, acres two milse south of Blackberry) and will move onto his place thig | |fall. The family will bring with, them the stock an@ appliances. inecessary to begin farming at once and a dwelling and outhouses will ; soon be in the course of construc- | tion for their accomodation. Mr. Erdman purchased 103 acres on the Prairie river about five miles from Grand Rapids an@ will move his family and effects there in the springs Another sale of 80 acres was made by the same concern to David Ludles of Superior. His land tied two miles ta the south of Warba. Charles Hunt of Keewatin, also secured 80 acres, his selection dying to the north of the last named village. ae CALL PHONE 116 ——AND GET—— VANEPS’ Auto and Horse Livery when you want prompt, care- ful and reasonable service.

Those who live in temperate and cold climates do not realize the effect of the sun's direct heat on the sea. |The luxury of bathing in an ocean that has a temperature of 108 degrees, writes Mr. E. J. Banfield in “My | Tropic Isle,” is not for the multitude | who crowd the cities that the sun touches tremulously and aslant. On Nov. 21, 1909, we bathed at Moo- Jee, north Queensland, in shallow wa- j ter, on the edge of an area of denuded | coral reef fully two miles long by a mile broad. For three hours a con- siderable portion of the reef had been exposed to the glare of the sun, and the incoming tide filehed the stored up heat from coral’ and stones and sand. The first plunge provoked an ex- clamation of amazement, for the water was several degrees hotter than the air, and it was the hottest hour—3 o’clock in the afternoon—of a very hot day. No thermometer was at hand to register the actual temperature of the water, but subsequent tests at the ;8ame spot under similar conditions proved that the surface stratum of about one foot was at 108 degrees F., from four to six degrees hotter than the air. Below that the temperature of the water seemed ordinary and cor- responded with that of the water a hundred yards from the shore. On another day, Jan. 10, 1910, be- tween noon and 3 o’clock in the after- noon, the sea, scientifically tested, was found heated to 90 degrees. With the bulb buried in the sand six feet from : the water’s edge, the mercury rose to 112 degree: very quickly and remained stationa-~ (A. BISSONETTE! Architectural PLASTER WORK ofall kinds.

How to Use Stale Bread. The modern housekeeper is likely to buy a loaf of fresh bread every day at the baker’s, but our grandmothers made their bread at home and used up every scrap of one baking before baking day came around again. Here are some of the ingenjous ways in which one grandmother disguised ‘stale bread so that the most pernick- ety child she had would not know it from a brand new dish. Cut squares of very hard bread two inches thick, steam over boiling water for twenty minutes and serve hot. with butter and maple sirup. Or cut the bread in one inch squares, put in a colander and dash cold wa- ter over them. Then fry the squares in butter until they are a delicate brown. Break two eggs over them, cook three minutes and serve imme- diately. This is particularly good for breakfast. Another way is to make our old | friend, French or Spanish toast, which is good for breakfast or luncheon. Cut | rather thick slices of bread, dip in, milk, then in beaten egg, and fry a delicate brown. Serve this very hot and, if possible, with maple sirup. If you happen to have a whole stale ‘Joa left over, here is a fascinating way to use it. Cut off all the crust, put it on a tin and set in the oven to dry and brown. When it is a light golden brown lay it on the molding board and crush fine, Then cut the crustless loaf into pieces one thick and two or three inches long. Beat two eggs very light, add two cup- fuls of sweet milk and a pinch of salt, dip the pieces of bread in the mix- ture, roll in the fine breadcrumbs and drop them into hot lard. When they are fried a nice brown put them on a hot dish and sprinkle thickly with sugar and a little fine cinnamon. A really delicious pudding can be made in the following manner: Take rather thick slices of bread from which the crust is trimmed. Butter these slices on both. sides. Heat a can of rather tart red or purple plums, put a layer of fruit in the bottom of a pud- ding dish, then a layer of bread and butter and continue until the dish is filled. Set it in the oven for five min- utes to get heated through. Then re- move it from the oven, cover with a plate, put a weight on it and set where it will become thoroughly cold. Eat it with cream and sugar. Tart cher- ries may be used in place of plums or blackberries, and there should be plen- ty of juice, so that the bread may be | Saturated. How to Make Coffee For Two. Always scald the coffeepot immedi- ately before using. Keep the inside of the coffeepot perfectly clean and leave the cover up and place in a sunshiny window. Never let coffee stand more than five minutes after it is boiled be- fore serving. Buy the coffee unground and grind just before using, is the ad- vice given in the Woman’s World. The flavor of the coffee may be im- proved by heating the ground coffee carefully just before making. Four level teaspoonfuls of ground coffee, one teaspoonful of the white of egg and the crust shell of one egg. Mix with four tablespoonfuls of cold water, pour on two and one-half cup- fuls of boiling water and cover closely and let boil from three to five minutes. Then add three tablespoonfuls of cold water to settle and set the coffeepot where the coffee will keep hot, but not boil, and let stand for five minutes. Pour out a half cupful of the coffee and put it back into the coffeepot to rinse down the grounds and serve at once. The first cup of coffee is con- sidered the best. ‘The banana is beli¢ved by some peo- ple to be the forbidden fruit which is mentioned in the story of the Garden of Rden. In any case, it is one of the curiosities of the vegetable kingdom, being not a tree, a palm, a bush or shrub, a vegetable or a herb, but an herbaceous plant with the stature of a tree. Although it sometimes attains a height of thirty feet, there is no woody inch | ] ' Long Distance | } 220—MTC. Attended Her Funeral, as a Rule.
