The average person la quick enough
to remark about the red flame of the
■unset, but h« seldom sees the dove
colors and steel blues that lie back of
him in the east. He sees the Bcarlet
maple, or an orange stain upon a hill-
side in October, but he overlooks the
•livery sheen of the wind-swept poplar
and the cloudlike surface of the Indian
grass. He Is not blind to Niagara or
the Alps, but he has an unhappy way
of never regarding anything that Is
not 'big,' and hence he loses a great
deal of pleasure in life which comes
from discovering and enjoying the so-
called commonplace."—John Van Dyke.
WHAT SHALL WE HAVE FOR DIN-
NER?
A change of menu is one of the con-
stantly recurring problems of the day,
and the progres-
sive housewife is
not satisfied with
a monoton ous
diet. Variety in
the serving of
food does not de-
pend so much up-
on the purse as
upon the trained mind which is able
to work out suitable dishes, fitted to
the amount one Is able to spend for
food.
Honey Mufflna.—Sift together three
cupfuls of flour, four teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of
salt. Add two tablespoonfuls of melt-
ed butter, three eggs, well beaten, one
cupful of strained honey and one cup-
ful of milk. Bake in well buttered
muffin tins.
Snowballs—Make a batter of one
cupful of cream or top milk, two ta-
blespoonfuls of sugar, the yolks of
four eggs, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder, and flour to make a drop bat-
ter. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites.
Fill buttered cups and bake In a hot
oven. Serve with crushed strawberries
and cream.
Southern 8ally Lunn.—Take four
cupfuls of flour, three egg yolks, beat-
en very light, one cake of compressed
yeast dissolved in a little warm water,
two cupfuls of scalded milk, cooled;
«tlr in a tablespoonful of melted but-
ter, and after all the ingredents, are
well mixed add the otlffly beaten
■whites. Set to rise, and when light
bake in well buttered muffin pans.
Blueberry Muffins.—Take two eggs;
beat well; add one cupful of sugar, one
cupful of milk, two teaspoonfuls of
baking powdefr, two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter and two cupfuls of flour
sifted with the baking powder. Add
two cupfuls of blueberries; mix well
and bake In buttered muffin pans Id a
quick oven.
"Soup makes the soldier," said Napo-
leon I, but Napoleon III wisely sug-
gested that "a soldier could not be
made on soup made out of nothing."
SUMMER FOODS.
Have a good bed of splnhch to use
as long as the family enjoy It, then
can what Is left
for winter, adding
a few carrots, a
stalk of celery
and an onion for
flavor. This mix-
ture is especially
good for small
children Just be-
ginning to eat vegetables.
Baked Spinach—Wash two pounds
of spinach and cook without adding
more water. Drain when tender, chop.
Mash tlie yolks of two hard-cooked
■eggs and mix with the spinach; season
well with salt and pepper. Line a
■deep buttered baking dish with the
spinach, dot with bits of butter or
cubes of salt pork. Beat three eggs
lightly, add four tablespoonfuls of
milk, three-fourths of a cupful of
grated cheese, the chopped egg whites,
one-fourth teaspoonful of mustard and
paprika to taste. Pour into the spin-
ach. mold and bake till the custard
sets.
Molded Salmon.—Take two cupfuls
of cold boiled salmon or a can of sal-
mon, one tablespoonful of lemon Juice,
one egg yolk, two teaspoonfuls of
sugar, one tablespoonful of flour, one
teaspoonful of salt, paprika and mus-
tard to taste, two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, two-thirds of a cupful
of milk, one-fourth of a cupful 6f vine-
gar, one tablespoonful of gelatin soft-
ened In one-fourth cupful of cold wa-
ter. Mix the dry Ingredients, beat In
the butter and milk, add vinegar. Cook
tn a double boiler, stirring until the
mixture thickens. Add the gelatin,
then the salmon, mix well and pour
Into molds. Serve on a bed of lettuce
with any desired dressing.
Wilted Cucumbers With Sour Cream.
—For those who can enjoy a cucumber
without crlspness this Is a tasty dish.
811ce cucumbers and put Into salted
water until wilted. Rinse In fresh,
cold water and dry on a cloth. Season
with salt and pepper and serve with
thick sour cream poured over them.
Stuffed Peppers.—Parboil shaj ely
green peppers, cut off the stem ends
and scoop out the pulp and seeds. Fill
the shells with seasoned crumbs,
sausage or any chopped cold meat.
Bake until well done, basting with
melted butter. Serve on toast.
Rutabagas are so often served
mashed and seasoned that we t're of
the good 'vegetable; the following will
be something to give variety: Cut
with a French potato cutter sufficient
balls from a large rutabaga, cook until
tender, then serve In a good sauce.
Rinse the turnip balls In cold water
to which has been added a Utile vine-
gar. which will add flavor and blr.nch
them at the same time. For the «auce.

white stock or milk and cook until
creamy. Season with one and one-
fourth teaspoonfuls of salt, a few dash-
es of pepper and paprika, and cayenne.
Pour over the turnips and garnish with
parsley. Another sauce which is very
good which may be served on diced
turnips or turnip balls is a white sauce
—a well beaten egg yolk, parsley and
a bit of lemon Juice.

GOOD THINGS FOR THE FAMILY.
A beefsteak pie is not a common
dish yet it supplies more than one
valuable food ele-
ment.
Beefsteak Pie.
—T a k e three-
quarters of a
pound of round
steak, grind fine,
using some of the
fat. Season with
salt and pepper. Beat two eggs, add
two cupfuls of milk. Mix one and
one-half cupfuls of flour, one and one-
half teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
then mix with two cupfuls of milk.
Add to the meat and stir, mixing well.
Turn Into a buttered baking dish and
bake In a moderate oven for an hour.
Date Cuatard.—Pour boiling water
over one-half cupful of dates, stone
and cut Into small pieces. There
should be one-half cupful after ston-
ing. Scald one and threfe-fourths cup-
fuls of milk, add, moisten three
teaspoonfuls of cornstarch with a lit-
tle cold milk. Add salt and cook fif-
teen minutes. Add two well-beaten
eggs, the stoned dates and a teaspoon-
ful of vanilla. Turn into the individ-
ual molds and serve cold.
Egg Night Cap.—Beat one egg until
light. Add one cupful of milk and two
tablespoonfuls of sugar and a pinch of
salt. Scald one cupful of milk and
Just at the scalding point pour grad-
ually over the egg mixture, grate a lit-
tle nutmeg over the top and serve hot.
This Is a good drink to stimulate the
stomach, drawing the blood away from
the head and Inducing sleep.
Grape Foam.—Beat one egg until

grace and lightness, and everybody
would be wearing It were there not
too many other things to do and were
not trams already Impossibly crowded.
The era of the bustle Is next on the
list and the bustle Is already taking
Its revenge on those who burled It for-
ever under a tombstone of Infamy.
This Is not to say that the bustle, in
Its modern guise, will ever again be-
come so universal as to suggest un-
womanliness In the woman who does
not wear one. At the same time the
bustle Is on the road to becoming
smart, and the closely-fitting bodice be-
comes monthly more closely fitting.
The truth Is, of course, that a pretty
young figure can wear anything, and
that any sort of change, even If ridic-
ulous, gives It additional zest. The
trouble Is that there are so many fig-
ures which are neither pretty nor
young and they are best suited by
something which Is not all too marked.
In this connection, however, there Is
more than enough choice, for while
the 80's may produce the smartest
fashions of the moment there are trail-
ing dresses and clinging dresses, and
bunchy dresses, and dresses of cotton,
and dresses of cloth of gold.
GET RID OF POOR PRODOGERS
Country Must Depend on Farmer for
Animals Required for Various
Kinds of Work — Decrease
Noted in Work Stock.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Progress in the average quality of
horses produced In the United States
has not kept pace with the progress
made In many agricultural lines, nay
animal husbandry specialists, for the
reason that the farmer, In too many
instances, has not given the careful
thought to this subject that he has to
his other problems. This Is true,
moreover, In spite of the fact that effi-
cient horse power Is one of the most
Important factors In the economical
production of agricultural products.
The average prices of horses during
the war remained practically at a
standstill, even decreasing slightly,
while the prices of meat animals In-
creased tremendously, even more than
doubling tn some cases. This had a
discouraging effect on horse breeding,
which resulted In a decrease In the
number of mares bred In 1018 and
1919.
Demand Depends Largely on Quality.
There Is today, however, a great
scarcity of high-class, efficient horses
Mid mules ami a strong demand and
good prices for that class. The de-
number of horses. This effect of tha
decrease In horse breeding will not be
fully felt until about 1923, or when
the foals bora In 1919 and 1920 have
become of workable age. In many
sections the work stock le being used
up without any provision for the fu-
ture.
Opportunity fer Farmers.
The country must depend on the
fanner more than ever for the produc-
tion of horses needed for farm and
other work, for the number of men
engaged In extensive horse breeding
has become less and less from year
to year. The farmer, In order to pro-
duce the efficient horse, must use the
greatest care in the selection of his
breeding stock. The production of
greater efficiency In our work animals
would not only mean greater remuner-
ation to the breeder, but also greater
efficiency In our agricultural produc-
tion.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.
The deduction made by our govern-
ment scientists whose mission Is to
figure out Just* what
kinds of foods are neces-
sary to sustain the hu-
man body, is that the
high cost of food is kill-
ing thousands of Ameri-
cans and undermining
the health of thousands 1
of others. The rea on
for the casualty list la
that the most expensive
foods are necessary to
sustain the health. Economy and ne-
cessity causes housewives to select
the cheaper foods and thereby deprive
their families of the Important food
principles.
The disease which Is prevalent In
undernourished children has made a
great advance in the Inst few years.
The word "acidosis" is so new that
It Is not yet in our dictionary. When
bread and other starchy foods are con-
sumed most extensively, as they are
In most poor families, they bring on
acidosis. The principal symptom Is
difficulty In breathing, as the lungs
are trying to eliminate the excess of
poison.
Such foods as cakes, pies, hominy,
bread, potatoes and hot cakes should
never make up more than half the
menu. Young and old should eat spin-
ach, chard, cabbage, carrots, lettuce,
turnips, onions, apples, pears, oranges,
gropefrult, and other fruits, as berries.

BACK TO FASHIONS OF 80'S
Bustle and Cloae-Fitting Basque Be-
coming Fixed Style, According
to English Writer.
Amid a wealth of oriental and fu
turlstlc color and design this season
there emerges with slow persistency
one outstanding tendency, observes
writer In Manchester (Englnnd) Guard-
ian. This tendency takes us back 40
years, which Is quite long enough for
any fashion, however hideous, to be-
come respectable again and even pop-
ular. The crinoline had its day of
abuse, yet today everybody admits Its
Outfit Cannot Be Displaced by Any
Other for Comfort and General
Satisfaction.
Nothing can ever quite take the
place of the smartly tailored suit for
traveling. The one-piece dress Is, of
course, a comfortable garment and a
woman always feels ship shape In such
a frock; but when traveling any dis-
tance a suit has much to commend it.
A fresh blouse gives the entire outfit
a new lease of life. Even a change
of collar and cuffs helps mightily. To
carry a change of dresses In a travel-
ing bag Is difficult, but a number of
blouses may be presesd Into a com-
paratively small space.
For summef wear the suit of pongee,
rajah or Shantung silk In natural
color promises to he a great favorite,
and the eton or bolero Jacket model
with plaited skirt Is especially charm-
ing as a traveling suit. The plaited
skirt gives the necessary comfortable
width that a costume for traveling
should have, and the short Jacket com-
pletes the outfit without adding very
materially to Its weight or warmth.
Very narrow skirts nre extremely un-
comfortable for traveling, as car steps
were quite obviously never designed
by Individuals who expected women
pp.ssengers to go about In hobble
skirts.

formation.
mand and the price for the mediocre
work animal, on the other hand, Is
low. This should emphasize the ne-
cessity for the greatest endeavor to
reduce the number of Inferior horses
produced. If the right kind of horses
and mules, the kind for which there
is always a market, are to be pro-
duced the same care must be given to
their production as Ib given by the
breeders of cattle, sheep, and swine.
What Is needed more than anything
else in the production of our work
stock Is greater care In the selection
of both the stallion and the brood
mare. The poor producing brood mare
should not be bred. It Is a losing
proposition to breed a poor producing
brood mare, even to the best stallion,
or to breed the good producing brood
mare to an Inferior stallion, with the
hope that a good foal may be pro-
duced. While occasionally a good one
will be produced In this way, the re-
sults In most cases will be dlsappoint-
Poet Mortem Results at Federally In-
spected Meat Packing Establish-
ments Give Encouraging Fig-
ures to Authorities.
Annlysis of the reports regarding
tuberculosis In cattle and swine, Issued
during the last three years by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, indicates a decrease in the per-
centage of animals found to be Infect-
ed with this disease. The figures
based on post-mortem results at fed-
erally Inspected meat packing estab-
lishments are encouraging to state and
federal authorities and others engaged
In the eradication of tuberculosis.
A summary of the federally Inspect-
ed slaughter of cattle at eight Impor-
tant market centers—Chicago, Kansas
City, Omaha, South St. Joseph, 8t.
Paul, Sioux City, East St. Louis and
Milwaukee—shows that the percentage
of animals condemned for tuberculosis
for the year ended June 80, 1017, was
0.51 per cent (51 hundredths of 1 per
cent) of the whole number slaugh-
tered. For 1918 condemnations for the
same cause had decreased to 0.38 per
cent; and in 1919 they had dropped
to 0.32 per cent. The total number of
cattle slaughtered In 1917 at the eight
points mentioned was 5,906,824, and
In 1919 this had increased to 8,995,735.
The reports regarding swine at the
same eight markets show that the per-
centage condemned for tuberculosis In
1917 was 0.244 per cent; in 1918, 0.199
per cent; and In 1919, 0.17 per cent
It Is noteworthy, the meat Inspection
divisional points out, that the per cent-
age of tuberculosis in swine declined
along with the decrease of the same
disease among cattle. The figure*
support the belief that swine are In-
fected with the tuberculosis princi-
pally from cattle, Infection being
spread in most cases either by feed-
ing unpasteurized skim milk, by allow-
ing hogs to eat tuberculous carcasses
or offal, or permitting the hogs to fol-
low diseased cattle In feed lotft and
pastures. Live-stock owners, the de-
partment of agriculture declares, can
hasten the stamping out of tuberculo-
sis by careful attention to sanitation,
by having their herds tested with tu-
berculin, removing any reactors found,
and thereafter requiring all cattle In-
troduced on the farm to have passed
a successful tuberculin test.

Coquettish Accessory Relegated to

According to advices from Paris the

automobile has almost completely su-

elegant Parlslennes used to protect

rays of the sun with airy and befrilled
sunshades. In place of these, the

Ing, and a foal will be born that will
not mature Into a work animal valu-
able enough to pay for the cost of the
feed and care necessary to raise the
foal properly.
It Is a fact that many progressive
farmers balk at paying a reasonable
service fee for a good stallion and will
breed to an inferior stallion because
of the lower fee. It is false economy
to stop at a few dollars when it comes
to the best horse. It Is the colt, and
not the high service fee, which counts
most in reckoning profits. It oosts
but little more to raise the $250 kind
than It does the $125 kind.

ROTATION INCREASES YIELD
Among Many Other Reasons It Die-
tributes Risk of Crop Failure
and Helps Fertility.
There are many reasons for rotat-
ing crops. Some are more Important
In one section, some In another. Among
them may be mentioned the follow-
ing:
(1) Rotation Increases the total crop
yield.
(2) It distributes the risk of crop
failure, since conditions injurious to
one crop frequently do not affect other
crops.
(3) It gives a better distribution of
farm labor throughout the year.
(4) It allows the keeping of more
live stock, which favors a better use
of farm crops and furnishes farm ma-
nure.
(5) It allows the use of green-ma-
nure crops and the satisfactory ap-
plication of farm manures, thus main-
taining the fertility of the soli.
(6) It insures a better control of
weeds. Injurious Insects, and fungous
diseases of crops.
(7) It uses soil moisture more com-
pletely, as different crops use water
differently. — Farmer's Bulletin 879.
