In the meantime the squab livers had been boiling tender in slightly salted water, with just a dash of to basco in default of a small red pep per pod.

In all the/many and varied rewards , of diligence none are better worth while than those that wait upon dil igent paper bag cooking. Ease is one of them, deftness another^ neat ness In the kitchen stili a third. It is quite impossible to make mere words convey all that thia method of cookery means?still more impos sible to set-down all that lu use will teach you. For example, .Its use will teach you how little art can improve on nature in matter of flavors. Paper^bag cook ing keeps In the flavor, intensifies it, and ma^esyit the sauce of appetite. 1 Good digestion commonly waits on appetite. But there are other things to take into account Not the least of them' is the saving to one's hands and one's temper in the matter of washing up after a meal. Whether this falls to the cook, to her mistress, or haply, to the gallant man of the house, who thruBts him self helpfully into the roughest part of the work, the fact remains indis putable that pan scrubbing is hard work, distasteful in the extreme and bound to leave unpleasant reminders. Pots and pans mean the use of strong alkalies. Without them the pots can not be kept sanitary. No sort of glove yet devised will permit the free use possible to the bare hand. The syl* logisra runs about thus wise: To cook in the old way, you must have pots, the pots must be kept clean, or oiaa a constant menace, and to keep them clean requires detergents so powerful they will' destroy human cuticle the same as they "cut grease."

Peat May Be Greatly Reduced by Picking Them Off the Little Cot ton Until 8quares Begin to Form In 8pring. (By O. H. ALFORD. Special Agent of the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration Work, Jackson, Miss.) Farmers who destroy the squares, bolls and foliage?the sole food sup ply of the weevil?on or before Octo ber 20 and add strength to this almost knockout blow by plowing under all the weevils In the cracks and holes In the ground and In the grass and trash on the ground and by destroy ing practically all the weevils hiber nating along the turn-rows, fences, hedges, and in general the vicinity of the fields and follow up the destruc tion by picking the weevils off the little cotton until the squares begin to form and by picking up the punc tured squares for at least one month after tbe squares begin to form, will certainly reduce the number of boll weevils to the minimum. When the over-wintered weevils emerge from winter quarters in the spring and reach the little cotton there is little further movement until the general dispersion season in Au gust, September and October. The over-wintered weevils go from winter quarters to the nearest cotton Held and remain there until the migratory period in the fall. The fact that the weevil moves about but little except in the fall makes it possible for an individual farmer to obtain the best result from his own efforts in fighting the pest There is littlp danger of the arrival of weevils from fields where they have not been picked off the little cotton until in August when the cotton crop is normally set. Tbe . danger of the movement of weevils from farm to farm before August is not important enough to warrant any farmer in hesitating to thorougby pick the weevils and punctured squares. i Where the food sudcIv of the wee Tils is Dot destroyed early in the fall and strength added to this blow by plowing under the cornstalks, grass. Cotton Square Showing Egg Puncture of Boll Weevil and Flaring of the Bracts. Dr. W. D. Hunter's Illus tration. .. trash, weeda and other- vegetable mat ter that serves as winter quarters for i the weevils and bv destroying practl ! cally all the weevils hibernating along ' the fence rows, hedges and ditch banks, the over-wintered weevils are often sufficiently numerous to punc ture the squares as fast as they form ' on the cotton. Under sucb conditions it is not necessary for the over-win tered weevils to multiply before tbe squares are punctured as fast as tbey form on tbe cotton. When the over wintered weevils are sufficiently nu merous to nuncture the squares as fast as they form no cotton will be made unless the weevils are picked off the little cotton and the punctured squares destroyed. Dr. W. D. Hunter of the bureau of en tomology estimates the possible prog eny of a single pair of weevils during a season beginning on June 20 and ex I tending to November 4 at 12,755,100. j Nature has provided a number of agencies to prevent such excessive multiplication, However, the picking of a pair of weevils off the little cot ton means millions less later on. Ev ery pair of weevils picked off the Uttle cotton and destroyed reduces the num ber of puncture squares and bolls by > millions. Before squares form on the cotton, the over-winter weevils that have [ emerged feed upon the opening leaves j or bud of the little cotton. Early in the morning it is an easy matter to find the weevils in the buds of the little cotton. It is not at all difficult to pick them off the buds of the little j cotton and destroy them. The only reason why we cannot eradicate the weevil by thoroughly picking them ofT the little cotton is that the majority of the over-wintered weevils do not emerge until after the squares begin to form on the cotton. As soon as squares form on the cotton the weevil gets on the inside of the bracts and feeds only by inserting its beak deeply into the squares. After the squares begin to form on the cot ton It Is hardly practicable to pick the weevils ofT the cotton. Tliz? nvor.wlntprpd wppvIIb rnnnnt multiply until squares form od the cotton. The weevil passes the winter In the adult stage and breeds only In squares and bolls. The most conspicu ous Indication of the presence of the boll weevil Is the flaring of the squares. When the weevil punctures a square It turns yellow and the bracts "flare" open. The punctured | square usually falls to the ground In I a few days. The over-wintered weevils live only a few weeks after they emerge from winter quarter# in the spring. If the llt'.le cotton is thoroughly picked two cr throe times Just a few days before the squares begin to form on the cot ton and every punctured square de stroyed for at least ono month after the Unit squares form practically all of the over-wintered weevils will .'be dead and there will be no young wee vils. If ir were possible to destroy every punctured square and boll and thereby prevent the appearance of new broods. the weevils could be ex terminated in one year. While it is cot possible to destroy every punc tured squire and Loll, we can by care ful and painstaking work get practi cally all of the punctured squares while the cotton is small. The beneficial results obtained from picking the punctured sqiiares de pends mainly upon the seasons. When the punctured squares fall to dry ground In July and August, and are subjected to the unobstructed rays of the hot sun, practically all of the lar vae and pupae are killed. Where the soil is dry and the cotton small prac tically all of the "grubs" In the punc tured squares are killed during the hot, fair weather, especially if there i Is a dust mulch on the ground. If the soil is moist, the rows narrow, the cotton rank and shades the ground, or if it Is cloudy practically all of the grubs in the punctured squares will come to maturity unless the squares are picked and destroyed. The more moisture In the ground, the more rank- ^ ly the cotton grows and the more the ground Is shaded, the greater the ne cessity for gathering and destroying i the punctured squares. Under any I and all conditions It Is certainly ad- i visable to collect all the punctured ! squares for at least one month after i the first squares form on the cotton, i The soil is cool at this season of tb? - year and the sun Is seldom very hot < It is not advisable to burn the punc- j tured squares. The punctured squares should be placed in wire cages for the reason that many weevil larvae In the Infested squares harbor parasite*. These parasites prey upon the boll weevil. There are about 25 species pt parasites which by means of their ovl* posltors place eggs on the larvae and ] pupae of the weevil within the square. < The young of'the parasites feeds upon i the immature boll weevil which it i kills. The bureau of entomology re cords one Instance in a field Dear Rob- i son, La., where the parasites killed 77 i per cent of the weevils. About the , same time 61 per c?nt. of the weevils i In a field near Victoria, Texas, were j killed by parasites. I The mpfih?ji of the wire caee to DUt . the punctured squares In should be at < least 16 to the inch. The parasites are very small and can easily escape i while the weevils will soon die for lack of food. A tinner will make the cages at a small cost The destruction of myriads of wee- ( vlls can be accomplished during the growing season by working in co-oper ation with the natural agencies that , destroy the weevil. The temperature < at the surfaoe of the ground is gen- j erally about 40 per cent higher than at two or three feet above the surface. ' It is not surprising that the cotton -j squares that fall on the hot ground in July and August and are not shaded j are parched at once and the Immature weevils destroyed. If the Immature , weevils are not killed at once by the , beat, they will starve for lack of food because of the hardening of the | square?the weevils' food. The use of brush on cultivators to ; brush or agitate the plantB when cul tivatlng the crop will assist to some extent in destroying the weevil. The punctured squares will be knocked to the hot ground sooner than they would fall and at the same time a few adult weevils will be knocked to the , hot ground When an adult weevil is thrown on the surface of finely pul- ' verlzed hot soil, it is killed almost in- ' stantly. Attempts continue to be made to poison weevils. If the advocates of 1 poison would only remember that dur- 1 lng the growing season the boll weevil 1 reeds only by inserting its beak deep- 1 ly into the squares or bolls, they would 1 realize that it is impossible to place ( poison where the weevils will feed up- 1 on it In all the experiments pfr- ] formed in the field by the bureau of entomology very heavy applications throughout the season from chopping to picking have failed to show any ad- ' vantage in the use of poison. r. . I ALFALFA HAY EQUAL TO BRAN i Excellent Ration for Dairy Cow Can ] Be Made of Com Silage, Cow peas and Oat Hay. In response to a query as to a good 1 ration for a dairy cow the Hoard's Dairyman makes the following reply: A very good ration can be made by letting each animal have dally thirty j pounds corn silage and a liberal al lowance of cowpea and oat hay. A ' mixture consisting of 400 pounds corn chop. 300 pounds bran and 100 pounds 1 cotton-seed meal will supplement this 1 roughage very well. It will require ' about one pound of thlB mixture to produce three and a half pounds of 1 average testing milk. If It Is desir abel to force the animals a little, then more grain should be fed than we have stated. On the other hand, If the hay is of very good quality, perhaps a little less grain would "be required. A fine grade of alfalfa hay Is almost eaual to bran, but alfalfa hay, like the 1 sample enclosed, is by no means equal to bran. The stems of this sample are coarse and bleached, showing that It has been exposed to the elements, and has comparatively few leaves. This kind of alfalfa hay Is by no means equal to fine-stemmed, well-leaved and cured-ln-the-sbade alfalfa. There Is probably no feedstuff that varies quite so much In quality as hay. The anal yses of hayB are based upon a reason ably goo quality. The time of cutting, the curing and the general care given the hay have very much to do with Its value.

Iniqmom SUMSOKE Lesson [By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Even ing Department, The Moody Bible In stitute of Chloago.) LESSON FOR APRIL 14. THE U?t OF THE SABBATH. LE8SON TEXT?Mark 2:21 to 3:8. GOLDEN TEXT?"The Sabbath was made for man and not man lor the Sab bath."?Mark Z:7I. That the Christian Sabbath t? to bo el Boon and not to be a Burden ii the gist of the teaching of Jetua upon that subject. For what is the Sabbath set aside and to what use shall we put the time thus set aside, are and have been through the years eery live questions. That God had so ciological, physical reasons for settlni aside one day In seven as a day of rest and recreation has led some to advocate what we know at a "Con tinental Sunday"?one gftven over to pleasure, games, sporti. auto rides, drives, etc., and an over emphasis upon the fact that God meant us not only to rest but also that he "hal lowed it," has given us the Puritani cal observance that Is akin to a wor ship of this seventh day. Which ii right? As we study these two incidents in the life of our Lord, the plucking o( the grain and the healing of the with ered hand, both of which occurred upon the Sabbath, we can surely find guidance as to what shall be our ob Berrance of this day. These two rents, and the principles that un derlie are of sufficient importance ai to be recorded In all three of the synoptic gospels. Let ui look at the first Passing through the field the hungry disci ples plucked some of the ripened grain, and sifting It in their hands, they ate It to supply their hunger, Mind, there was no reaping snd gath ering into barns for the profit of ths owner, but simply the gathering oi sufficient to relieve the needs of the moment The ancient Jew was cum bered with a ceremonial observance that was oppressive, yet their 'own priests in the temple performed the necessary dally duties and were held guiltless; and the great Darld had once entered that holy place and taken of the shew bread from off the altar and not only ate himself but eave to those who wore with him. 8c It is that the life of a man la ol greater Importance than the punctili ous observance of the Sabbath daj How Jesus Spent 8abbath. Passing on, Jesus enters the syn* gague and there found a man bavin* a withered hand. Again the erei watchful Pharisees observed him "that they might' accuse him." Jesus, knowing their growing antag onism, their attitude of distrust, takes advantage of the helplessness of the man to teach these Pharisees the le? Bon of obedience??yes for oface in scorn he rebukes them; anger and grief struggled In the heart of Jesua is he commands the sick man' to stretch forth his hand, and with the command went power so that the man stretched forth his hand restored to its full strength and usefulness, [s It lawful to do good or to do harm, to save a life or to kill on the Sab bath? Once again Jesus takes the Law from its outward application and reveals the spirit, the heart motive that must apply If we are to truly lov? and serve God. Is it not sufficient that sin makes strange bed fellows, as for instance, the Pharisees consorting with the Herodlans, two parties as opposite ai possible and bitter in their antagon ism, taking counsel how they may de stroy this young Galilean. The fact was the disclpleB had violated no law of God, but an ordinance of man, and it has always been that we arc more jealous of such than to reallj know the spirit of God's commands, and thereby to govern our actions. What Irony of Jesus' tones as he aBked them "did ye never read?" The complaint of a Puritanical Sabbath waB never raised by one who has a loving familiarity with the Word ol God?God gave us the Sabbath, it did not come by accident. The heart hun gers to know him and its demand le for time to worship and to serve him, It is only those whose hearts are blinded by the God of this wprld who swing to the opposite extreme. God will surely reckon with those corporations and individuals who de mand, as shown by the social surveys *U. .AaaI 41V..~ 91 BUIlltt UL lilt? aicci luwiid, ivi muo tratlon, seven days labor each week, or who in their individual lives are so engrossed in business and in pleasure as to deaden and starve their souls, which are all the time crying out for Grod. ? Jesus' anger was at the hardness, and his compassion for this hardness Df the hearts of the Pharisees. Let us avoid the wrath and be subject to the compassionate pity of God. Last 3unday we studied the resurrection of aur Lord. Let us remember that the Christian Sabbath is a weekly remind er of that great fact. Principles Make Christians.
