?reat temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real .truggle ls here. now. In these quiet "weeks. Character cannot be made except by steady, long-continued processes. -Phillipa Brooks. SUMMER PICNICS. When oat for a day's rest In the country, or at the lake, take a ham mock and a few pillows as well as a cushion or two; the children will en Joy them, if the grown-ups will give them a chance. Light wooden plates, which may be destroyed at the day's end, aluminum cups and other utensils which are nec essary of aluminum make the basket much lighter. A goodly quantity of Juicy fruit will allay thirst, although water ls quite a necessity when preparing a meal. A box of ? -ndwiches well wrapped to keep them moist, eggs which may be cooked au natural or scrambled. The coffee may be ground and in the cheese cloth bag already to drop into the pail of boiling water and produce the nectar of the gods. A salad 1B another indispensable adjunct to a proper picnic. There are to many to choose from that one can make no mistake. The best way to prepare a salad to carry on a picnic is 'to have the dressing in a jar and the salad in another receptacle, ready to ?combine when the meal is ready. A most delicious cake to serve at a nicnic and one which ls always a fa vorite, ls sponge cake with whipped cream. Carry the small cakes and a dar of the cream all whipped, sweet ened and flavored, and fill the cakes just before serving time. Lemonade may be prepared all Teady for the addition of water. Con densed milk may be carried, if the fresh product is not obtainable. Frankfurters and potatoes are quite (satisfying as a menu, especially for the men of the party. The potatoes may be baked in the ashes and the sausage /cooked in a pail of boiling water. For the busy mother who linds lt timpossible to go away from home for .even a day, a shady porch or back yard will make a restful change from the ordinary everyday serving at the dining table. Let the young folks do the carrying back and forth; they will enjoy helping, and think lt ls a great lark. A piece of sheet lr m to put over the stones and fire, if out in the coun try, makes a fine stove to set the frying pan and coffee pot on. sure of each other. It ls the place of conSdence. It is the spot where expres sions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without dread of ridicule. -Frederick William Robertson. WAYS OF SERVING RHUBARB. Rhubarb is such a wholesome plant, and at this season of the year very plentiful In the market, that the poor est purse can afford a few pounds to serve as lt ls best enjoyed. The pink skinned variety is more, attractive when co' ked, and that Is the kind to buy when getting a root for your kitchen garden. While it is tender and reasonable In price is the time you can get it for winter or make the various conserves and preserves which are such favorites. Many can rhubarb in cold water. Fill a perfectly oterile jar with the cut plant, put the jar under the cold water faucet and fill it to overflowing. Then seal, and put In a cool, dark place. This rhubarb can be used for pies very nicely In the winter months. Spiced Rhubarb--This is delicious to serve with meats. To two pounds of rhubarb cut in Inch pieces, add a pound of sugar, set on the back of the range and add a bag of mixed spices; cook slowly until thick, remove the apice bag and turn into glasses. When cold cover closely. Rhubarb Pudding.-Spread a few slices of bread generously with butter, sprinkle over it a grating of nutmeg; line a baking dish with the bread and cover with finely cut rhubarb, add an other layer of bread and rhubarb and add sufficient sugar to sweeten. Bake In a m ate oven until the rhubarb is well one. Serve with a sauce of butter and sugar creamed together and seasoned with nutmeg. Or a sauce of cream and sugar is good. Rhubarb Conserve.-Take equal parts of rhubarb and sugar, let stand over night, add half pound of blanched almonds, two lemons and an orange sliced; remove the seeds and put all the Ingredients through the meat grinder. Cook until smooth and thick, then put into glasses. Fur those who enjoy figs, a half pound will be an ad dition to this conserve. ) Judges For The Cora Contest.

BEGIN SMALL FOR SU Profitable Fkttk < A poultry farm built upon a ? oe ore foundation ls sure to be successful if lt is afterward properly managed. It ls not only necessary to make the right kind of a start but the work must be regularly and faithfully performed, day In and day out. As a rule beginners start with great enthusiasm and not a few build air castles, but to many of them the same ness of the work, the close application, j the constant watching, soon becomes monotonous and then there is a shirk ing of duty neglect, carelessness and the enterprise becomes a failure. The point is to begin small-meas ure the size of the initial step with the amount of capital and experience at hand. It is often the case that men with more or less available capital practi cally put all their money in houses and stock. This 1B a mistake awk more so the case of those who have no personal experience in the work. In the parlance of today, "a man must be onto the job." He must know what to do and how best to do lt. He must be aware that inexperience may cause leaks and leaks will soon sink the enterprise. It ls a noteworthy fact that the most successful poultry farms of today are those that have started for a small beginning and gradually expanded as business and experience warranted. Device Is So Easily Constructed That Everv Farmer Should Have One Barrel Is Made Use Of. Every cistern should have a Alter, and lt is so easily made that anyone : can have one. I took a standard size ' barrel and cut a hole In the bottom large enough to contain a strainer, writes a Tennessee man in the South ern, Agriculturalist After fitting a strainer in this another one was A Cistern Filter. placed over it A mixture of char coal and creek gravel was then placed In the barrel until lt was about three fifths fuIL A coarse sack wasp laced over the top of the barrel to catch the trash, and a close-fitting cover was placed over the barrel. Water from the roof passes through a spout directly into the barrel. The opening at the bottom empties into a glazed tile with cement Joints. This empties Into the eisten* The filter is cleaned out and refilled each fall. We have a metal roof. Before turn ing water into the cistern the roof is allowed to become washed off and all gutters are examined to see if they are clean. The cistern is large enough so that only rains of winter are caught. After February no more water ls saved until the following De cember. Bartlett Pears. Bartlett stands at the head of the Hst of pears for amount produced, de mand and perhaps for profitableness. It ls a good bearer from youth to old age; bringB aa good a price in the general market as any; better known than any other variety. It is so well known that it ls in large demand by the general public ae well aa by the canners. It does not require a great amount of thinning. It ?B harvested at a time when we can procure plenty of j good help, before apple picking and the ? hurry of fall work, CCESS WITH POULTRY 11 - ..i j ?f Young Duck?. Men who would not go Into the dry gooda business for the reason that they knew nothing about lt will build houses and stock them and expect the hens to do the rest. Hens, like cows yield a profit accord ing to the treatment given them. They win not stand neglect. They are hard workers when properly managed and rewarded, but they can be the most Idle and indifferent producers when made to shift for themselves. Our agricultural colleges have ?~"e mjteh to teach the new aspirants how to tread in poultry paths and men and women who endeavor to improve by these excellently arranged courses of instruction will have won half the battle. The other half naturally be longs to practical experience. A man with 10,000 would better in vest one-half of lt in buildings, stock and fixtures and reserve the other half for feed and running expenses, than Invest the entire amount in the equip ment and have to go in debt for the feed. Eggs and poultry are staple crops and the demand is far greater than the supply. This country needs more poultry farms and they will be successful when properly built and managed. But, the beginnlag must be small and the growth gradual so that every part of the work ls promptly noted and correctly performed. FACTS ABOUT THE SOY BEAN Plant Grows Well In Cotton Region and ls Strongly Drought Resistant -Some Varieties. In farmer's bulletin 509 of the United ^States department of agriculture are the following facts about soy beans: Soy beans grow well In the cotton region as well as farther north. They are strongly drought resistent, aud make a hay similar to that from cow peas, though usually with a larger pro portion of seed and more foody stems. There are many varieties differing greatly in time of growth, some ripen ing within thirty days from sowing the seed, while others require the whole season. The Mammoth, a late variety, ls now commonly grown In the south. The Ito San is a good early variety, commonly grown. A number of recently introducad varie ties are becoming popular, among them Haberiant, Acme and Tokyo. For regions near the gulf coast the Riceland and Barchet varieties have given the best results. The land should be prepared as for cowpeas and the seed planted in drills at a sufficient distance to permit one or two cultivations. One bushel of seed will plant two or three acres, the amount depending on the dis tance between the rows. The planting should be shallow, never more than two inches, or many of the seeds will decay. Innoculation of the soil from an old soy bean field is desirable, but not usually necessary in, the south. Rabbits are exceedingly fo i ot the young plants and sometimes cause Berious injury when the field ls near woods. If wanted for hay the crop should be cut when the upper leaves begin to turn yellow, but if wanted for seed the gathering should be de layed until nearly all the leaves have fallen. The hay is easily cured and ls fully as nutritious as that from cowpeas. The yield of seed varies from one to thirty bushels per acre. It is not a desirable crop to plant with corn, as lt matures too late. As the seeds of many varieties shat ter badly, the gathering for seed should not be delayed longer than is necessary for their ripening and many, more seeds will be saved if the cut ting is done early in the morning while the pods are still damp with dew. Bush Beans. ' ! Some growers of bush beans have found it desirable to save their own seed because this is a means of avoid ing pod spot or anthracnose. When beans free from disease germs are planted In soil free from disease there is little danger of Infection. This mat ter is well worth the consideration of careful growers. Sour Crop Remedy. When fowls ara made bloody by fighting the sores or cuts should be 1 washed and afterward anointed with a little vaseline. It is also well to beat ap a raw egg and add ten or twelve drops of whisky for each bird. There ls danger of canker setting ia from neglected cuts made by fighting.
