An Evening at Home.
This was called a Postal-Card party,
and it is a simple matter to arrange
one now that our homes arc well pro-
vided with the popular postal. In this
case, the cards were photographs of
prominent places, buildings and peo-
ple. The hostess had erased the
names and written numbers. Each
guest was supplied with pencil and
paper and invited to write a guess as
to the identity of the things repre-
sented.
An album for postals was the appro-
priate prize, and for place cards at
table (where, by the way, the re-
freshments were light—just a pretty
cherry salad in apple cups, with
whipped '-ream and a spray of cherries
on tof^, they had plain U. S. postal
cards, addressed as if for mailing, and
much fun was afforded by a bit of dog-
gerel on the back of each, "jollying”
the guests. For example. Lawyer
Jones was present, and on his was
written:
"We daren’t make fun of you, no use.
You’ll land u* in the calaboose."
Not especially brilliant? No; but
they made the evening pass .merrily,
and after all, that's what we want at

er’* wife does

Trash—bang! the maid's chauffeur goes
back a few miles for assistance.
Bedraggled—hungry, too, the maid seeks
shelter at the farm;
The good wife says; "Sit down; don’t
mind the dog, lie’ll do no harm:
The water's cornin’ to a boil; you sure
must have a drink;
I've got seme fried cakes, piping hot,
I’ll bring 'em quick as wink.

CARE AND CLSANLINEM.
HOMELY G08SIP.
A Duel About Cooks.
It may be a source of pride to the
cook to know that the first duel ever
fought in America was about her. The
subject of dispute was the compara-
tive ability of the kitchens of the two
men to provide “good healthy rations.”
The fame of their respective estab-
lishments was the point at issue; the
result is thus described in a pamphlet
issued at Plymouth, June 18, 1621;
“The Offence is the first Duel fought
in New England upon a Challenge at
Single Combat, with Sword and Dag-
ger between Servants of Mr. Hopkin-
son. Both being wounded—the one In
the Hand, the Other In the Thigh,
both are judged by the Company tq
have the Head and Feet tied togethei
and to lie without Meat or Drink for
twenty-four Hours—which at their
Master's bumble Request upon Prom-
tse of better Carriage, They are re-
leased by the Governor.”
Coffee should be rather finely
ground. It takes much more of the
coffee for a good cup when ground
coarse than when used in small par-
ticles. It should be about the grain of
granulated sugar if we would get the
best results from the least coffee.
THE CHEF AND THE ONION.
NEVER
Serve more than one kind of ice
«.5cept at a most elaborate affair.
Never serve Ice cream without cake;
11 is not necessary with Ices.
Never forget that Ices need more
sugar than fruit that Is not chilled;
the extreme coldness deadens taste.
Never despair If unexpected com-
pany comes In. With a freezer and
Ice we may have a nice dessert be-
cause canned fruit, jams or even Jel-
lies may be frozen.
ASKED a French
chef how he
made his con-
somme so clear:
“To each quart of ze
stock, I put ze
egg — and shell,
Monsieur.”
‘•‘The shell?'” I
echoed, “O u 1.
Monsieur, and
slice of lemon,
too:
And If you have no
cloves, a dash of
cinnamon, will
do.”
“There's no such
mess In con-
somme; you talk
through your
‘chapeau.’ ”
“Oh. no. Monsieur,
we strain ze stock
—once, twice, and
three times—so.”
"But how about the seasoning—and that
faint onion flavor?
There are no bits left in the soup, and
yet I get the savor.”
“Mon Dleu, Monsieur, you would not
have me put ze leaves In whole?
I eat the onion—I, myself—zen breathe
upon ze bowl.”
Rolled Fish.
Slices of haddock, white fish, cod—
any fish large enough to slice, are very
good filled with a dressing of bread
crumbs, eggs and chopped parsley.
But when you fold the fish be careful
to have the skin on the Inside; other-
wise your care in folding will go for
nothing; the heat will make the skin
contract.
With any filleted fish a white sauce
is good, but best of ail is the Maitre
d'Hotel given below.
Meat Injunctions.
You are enjoined from putting roast
(eats into a cold oven.
From salting the meat when first
iut on to cook.
From taking the meat off the Ice
mtll ready to cook.
From basting meat with a spoon;
ise a "swab” on the end of a stick.
From putting water in the pan with
he meat until the latter has had a lit-
le time to brown.
Real English Banbury Cake.
With some good fresh butter, add
currants, sugar and finely-chopped
lemon peeling; mix enough to make a
stiff paste.
Roll some rich puff paste into pieces
two inches square from a sheet one-
quarter thick. Place a spoonful of the
prepared currant In the center; take
up two corners, bring them together,
then press down flat. Sprinkle with
sugar and bake in a slow oven.
Apple 8herbet.
Carefully remove the pulp from ap-
ples enough to go 'round. Boil it In
cider, if possible, season to taste with
sugar and cinnamon. Strain, cool and
freeze. The whites of two eggs are a
great Improvement, but are not neces-
sary. Serve in the upple shells pre-
viously kept In water to preserve tho
color.

Are Important Elements in the Grom
Ing of Hogs.
Use disinfectants freely in the
way of lime, etc. Keep feedlug floors,
troughs and sleeping pens clean. Tol-
erate no vermin, by the use of coal
oil emulsion. Keep the hogs at all
times supplied with fresh water. Bo-
fore farrowing the sow should havo a
good feed of bran or short slops and
after farrowing should be left quiet
for some time Rnd then watered v;iih
warm water If the weather U cold. Do
not give her much feed for 24 hours,
then give some bran with some short3
or ground oats mixed with a little wa-
ter. A quart of this is enough. Con-
tinue to feed lightly for several days,
increasing the amount until the pigs
are two weeks old, by which time lib-
eral use can be made of shorts and
bran and roots. Grass is the best feed
if it is available.
The critical period with a brood
sow Is the first two weeks after far-
rowing, says the Northwestern Agri-
culturist. Many pig3 are lost in this
time by feeding chilled drinks, which
produce indigestion and fever. Keep
the sows well bedded with clean, dry
straw aud give them all the sunlight
possible. Damp nests are fatal to
young litters. Exercise Is absolutely
necessary for young pigs in prevent-
ing thumps and kindred diseases.
Colds and scours caused by over-
feeding the sows arc causes of great
locses in litters. Avoid this by not
overreeding the mothers for the first
ten days after farrowing. During the
first four weeks of tho pig's life we
must feed for bone and muscle, not for
fat. Therefore do not feed too much
corn.
The secret in producing cheap pork
Is to maintain a steady gain and a high
degree of health and vigor from start
to finish. To this end have a variety
of feed and make all changes from
feeding for growth to feeding for flesh
gradually. The sleeping places for
hogs should in all cases be clean and
dry, well ventilated and well provided
with bedding, frequently changed.
He MUST BE HUMANE.
The Man That Take* Care of the
Livestock.
The owner of livestock should make
sure that the man that Is taking carf
of his stock Is humane In his meth
ods. Many a young horse Is about
ruined by being cared for by a man
that Is explosive in his temperament
Such a man can sometimes be made
to control himself, if he is talked tc
enough by his employer.
The man that takes care of cows
should be Impressed with the fact that
excitability affects the milk flow
Great Injury Is often done young cows
by the man in charge of them losing
his temper and trying to pound them
Into what he regards as proper habits
The man that is not rightly balanced
for this kind of work will soon be
made manifest by the action of the an
imals themselves. They will show
their fear of him and will avoid him
as much as possible.
The man that has the confidence of
the farm animals is the man that feels
a liking for them. They will show nc
fear of him, and often they will come
to him in the pasture. One may b(
sure that In such a case the man it
the proper one to have charge of the
stock.
Animals quickly recognize a friend
says the Farmers’ Review, and as
quickly understand the man that dis
likes them. The employer of farm hel(
should always be most favorable tc
the employment of a man that feels
an attachment to animals. The ani
mats will be more comfortable ana
more profitable.

It is also very convenient in the winter
time when the snow is deep.
A Glossy Coat.
The beauty of the horse is increased
by a glossy coat. This is especially
desirable, if the horse is to he offered
for sale. There are two tilings that
go to produce the glossy coat, and
they are, good feeding and good curry-
ing. The latter brings out the gloss
that is In the oil that is supplied hv
the glands to the hair to ko“p it in a
normal condition. Good food consists
in giving enough of it grain ration. s.>
that the animal may have an abund-
ance of material out of which to. make
muscle and fatty list ue. Not till the
animal is able to supply the rn-eds oi
the muscular tissue does he begin to
lay up a coat of fut under the skin.
This makes the skin and hair oi better
character than when the material for
lb* fat formation is lacking.
In a three-year rotation of eon, oats
and clover, let us assume yields ot
ISO bushels per pc re of corn and oats,
four tons of clover and four bushels of
clover seed. We may sow cowpeas in
tho corn, the last cultivation, and pos-
sibly produce a catch crop of one-half
ton to the acre.
We will plan to husk the ear corn
and leave the stalks on the land to be
disked down for seeding oats and
:!over. The bats should be cut as
high as possible and the threshed oat
straw should be spread over the land
either before or after rotting, as may
be found best. The third year the
clover may be clipped two weeks be-
fore haying and left lying on tbe
land, tbe second crop being harvested
later for seed, using a buncher at-
tached to the mower so as to avoid
raking. Tho threshed clover straw
should be spread over the land, and if
rock phosphate is used it may be ap-
plied and plowed under with all of tbe
accumulated organic matter in prep-
aration for the following corn crop
which would begin the second rota-
tion.
These three crops remove about 173
pounds of nitrogen, while the clover
and cowpeas return about 182 pounds
of nitrogen, and together with the
corn stalks and oats straw furnish a
large supply of humus. This Is a sys-
tem of grain farming planned to main-
tain the supply of humus and nitro-
gen. If the yields are cut in two the
basis of the system remains the same.
Many other rotations for grain farm-
ing might be followed, but in all
cases liberal use must be made of
legume crops, catch crops, other green
manure crops, and crop residues in
order to supply humus and nitrogen.
. In live stock farming take a five-
year rotation, including corn two
years, oats with clover and timothy
seeding the third year, and two years
of clover and timothy, using one year
for hay and the other for pasture, as-
suming the same yields as before.
Shock one-half of the corn or put it
In the silo; husk the other half and
use the oats straw for feed and bed-
ding.
The four crops will remove from the
soil about 369 pounds of nitrogen, and
the clover hay will contain about 120
pounds, which we assume was se-
cured from the air, making 489 pounds
of nitrogen in the total feed and bed-
ding. If one-half of this is recovered
in the manure and returned to the
land, there would be a deficiency of
124 pounds. But two-thirds of the nl
trogen can be recovered by feeding
upon cement floors and a liberal use of
straw and shredded fodder for bed-
ding, thus reducing the deficiency to
43 pounds.
The pasturing may gain 12 pounds
of nitrogen. By feeding more or less
upon the fields and by leaving consid
erable clover In the pasture to serve
as green manure, this small deficiency
can be replaced, but to maintain or
increase the supply of humus and nl
(rogen in the soil is by no means an
easy problem, even with live stock
farming.
Keep in mind these two words,
phosphorus and humus. If these are
increased in soil the farm will be
growing richer and more productive
but whoever removes the phosphorus
or destroys the humus more iapidly
j than they are replaced, will have
j poorer land year by year with poverty
as the only future for the children
I who continue the same ruinous sys-
I tem.
A 100-bushel crop of corn requires
23 pounds of phosphorus; a 50-bushel
crop of wheat, 16 pounds; a four-ton
crop of clover, 20 pounds. And to
‘ produce such crops for a lifetime, 70
years, would require as much phos-
pliorus as the total supply in the first
i seven inches of most common Illinois
j prairie soil.
Phosphorus is sold from the farm
largely in grain, in the bone of ani-
i mals, and hay. The phosphorus re-
moved from the soil in the average
j corn crop of Illinois (grain only) is
j equal to the total phosphorus con-
tained in 50,000 acres of our com belt
! land to a depth of seven inches, and
a large amount is removed in the ag-
gregate of the oilier crops. Because
the effect Is only gradual and wide-
: spread, many people ignore it.
The most practical and economical
| method of maintaining the supply of
phosphorus in the soil is by the appli-
j ca'ion of 1,000 pounds to the acre of
; fine-ground natural rock phosphate,
i once every four to six years, in eon-
j neetion with liberal supplies of decay-
* ing organic matter, as farm manure,
j legume crops, or other green manures.
But repeated experiments have
\ shown that natural rock phosphate
[ gives practically no immediate returns
j if used in the absence of decaying or-
i gaulc matter.
Humus is the decaying organic mat-
. ter of the soil. Its most important
! constituent is nitrogen. A 100-bushel
| crop of corn for 32 years would re-
i quire as much nitrogen as is contained
I in the first seven indies of ordinary
^ corn belt praitie land; if the stalks are
returned to the soil the nitrogen
would be sufficient for 48 such crops.
If we are to enrich the soil in nitrogen
by growing clover the clover must
I be returned to the soil either by plow-
ing under directly or In the form of
manure.
Tbe animals retain one-fourth of the
nitrogen and phosphorus in the feed
consumed, and two-thirde of the or-
ganic matter in mixed feede. Not
more than one-fourth of the dry mat-
ter and not more than one-half of the
food elements will be returned to the
field in the manure, and if the manure
la left exposed to the weather for
three to bIx months these proportions
should be divided by two.
The Ohio experiment station has,
as an average of 13 crops of corn at
35 cents per bushel, 13 crops of oats
at 25 cents, 12 crops ot wheat at 70
cents, ten crops of clover and ten
crops of timothy at six dollars a ton,
on land that ia richer in phosphorus
than our land, but poorer in nitrogen
than our land, is found that every
dollar Invested in phosphorus paid
back $4.76, while nitrogen or potas-
sium paid for Its cost.
Tbe same station has found ns the
average of 56 tests in 11 years' work,
that when rock phosphate was applied
in connection with manure, every dol-
lar In rock phosphate paid back $5.68.
On three different series of plots at
tho University of Illinois phosphorus
has doubled the yield of clover as an
average of the last three years.
On tho Bloomington (III.) soil ex-
periment field phosphorus increased
tbe yield of wheat ten busbeis per
acre in 1905, increased tbe yield of
clover more than one ton per acre in
1906, and increased tbe yield of corn
following clover by 19 busbeis per
acre in 1907. The increase in either
crop would practically pay the cost
of phosphorus applied for the three
years. In both the Illinois cases bone
meal, which Is more expensive than
rock phosphate, was used.
Experiments with the rock phos-
phate were started more recently in
Illinois, but have given good results
on our soils. Four years’ experiments
at the university have resulted in an
average increase of tbe crop equal to
$7.95, while the 250 pounds of phos-
phorous applied cost eight dollars, but
210 pounds of it still remain in the
soil for use in future crops. The re-
sults of 1907 alone are an Increase
of $11.68 or $3.68 more than the cost
of the rock phosphate, while four-
fifths of the phosphorus applied atill
remains in the soil.
The value of the increase from rock
phosphate in six crops grown in the
Galesburg experiment field amounts to
$1-1.40, or $2.40 more than tbe cost of
the phosphorus applied, while four-
fifths of thiB phosphate still remains in
the soil.
Plenty of nitrogen can be secured
from the air by growing legumes, the
organic matter of tbe crops can be
returned to the soil, but tho one ele-
ment phosphorus must be bought.
One ton of rock phosphate containing
250 pounds of phosphorus can be
bought for about eight dollars; the
same quantity of phosphorus in one
ton of steamed bone meal costs $25,
in two tons of acid phosphate costs
$30, and in four tonB of complete fer-
tilizer costs $80 to $100.
