Cuest Who Didn't Care for Salmon
Was In Fair Way to Have Hot
Breakfast.
In some parts of tho Canadian
hack country tho recurrence of
lioiled salmon, broiled Balmon, sal
mon cutlets, und salmon steak at ev
ery meal becomes, after a few weeks,
a trifle monotonous. To the native
palate, brought up on It, this constant
reappearance of the selfsame dish Is a
matter of course; but to tho newly
arrived tourist it grows at least into a
feeble Joke.
"Is there nothing el3e for break
fast?" said one such victim of colonial
hospitality, as a whole flsh and a pot
of mustard were laid before him on
the table."
"Nothing else!" replied tho host, In
surprise. "Why, there's salmon
enough there for six, ain't thero?"
"Yes," responded tho guest, mild
ly; "but I don't care for salmon."
"Well, then, fire into tho mustard,"
was the rejoinder.

"Where was that big sea fight of
which you wore speaking?"
"On tho front page, I think, my

BEETS BAKED AND BOILED.
It would almost seem that thero was
nothing to Bay that has not been bet
ter said about
beets, yet there are
always some now
thought to add to
each one's knowl-
PCJWIIT-I
p eugo even auour.
rn Jt beets.
. wL 1 As a garnish
they are especially
lino if not used in comhlnatlbn with
some clashing color like carrots, for
example. With the white of potato
or tho green of peaB of cucumber,
they are exceedingly agreeable to tho
eye.
For a simple ment relish try this:
Boil and mash fine a few beets, sea
son with salt and pepper with a gen
erous amount of butter, then add
grated horseradish to suit tho palate,
with a little lemon juice or vinegar
to give it piquancy.
Beets should he carefully washed
not to break the skin, and then
boiled until tender In salted water.
Tho skins will then slip joft, if the
beets are dropped in cold water, then
they may be treated as one's taste
dictates.
Bee Relish. To' ono quart of
cooked chopped beets add ono quart
of chopped cabbage, two cupfuls of
sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, a tea
spoonful of pepper, a half teaspoonful
of cayenne, one cupful of grated,
fresh horseradish, and vinegar to
make it of tho consistency to use as
a sauce. Can cold. This will keep
all winter and is very good.
Beet and Rhubarb Jelly. Measure
equal quantities of now beets and
rhubarb, codk until tender In as little
water as possible, as the rhubarb is
very juicy, mash and strain through a
sieve, when tender, then drain In a
Jelly bag. Measure tho juice and al
low equal measures of Jelly. Cook
tho juice ten minutes, before add
ing tho sugar heated, rhen it jellies
on a cold plate pour into molds and
chill. This old-fashioned prescrvo is
especially good with meats.
No man or woman of tho humblest
sprt can really be strong, gentle, pure,
and good, without tho world's being
better for It, without somebody's be
ing helped and comforted by the very
exlstenco of that goodness. Phillips

a largo company.
Nippon Salad. To ono cupful of
crab meat add one dozen stuffed olives
chopped, two cupfuls of celery, add
French dressing to marinate and serve
with mayonnaiso dressing, garnish
with pickles and capers.
Sandwiches. Savory butter sand
wiches are made by creaming a cupful

fifteen minutes in a tablespoonful of
olive oil, sprinklo generously with salt

Uses of the Chin.
Tho newest theory regarding tho

tho chin Is situated at tho outer end

why they served tho acid fruit with
meat, but they know they tasted' good
and that was then enough for them.
Cranborrles contain an acid which
is said to be especially good for

Good Cranberry Jelly. Put through
the meat chopper, after washing and
picking out all the soft berries. Put
over tho heat in a granite saucepan,
using a cupful of water to a quart of
berries. When partly cooked add the
sugar, as it takes less to sweeten them
than if the sugar is added at once.
Cook slowly until thick. This way the

HARD TASK FOR ORCHARDIST
Problem of Growing Finely-Colored
Apples for Market Is Difficult
Effects of Spraying.
(By W. S. TltEATOR.)
Ono of tho greatest problems con
fronting tho apple grower Is how to
get color in his fruit; where tho or
chard Is cultivated color 1b too dull.
Wo may Bomo day know moro about
It. I find that a fow kinds will color

bo plenty of sunshine. I find that color
Is added very rapidly during tho last
threo of four days preceding tho cor
rect picking time. A tree in enfeebled
health or whoso leaf functions nre in
any manner disturbed will grow high
ly colored fruit, but thoso aro condi
tions that we naturally do not want.
I will clto as a notable illustration
a Northern Spy crop that I grow two
years ago. The trees wero very vig
orous and under cultivation. They re
ceived two drenchlngs of a strong sol
ution of lime-sulphur just boforo bud
ding time; the flrst, applied during a
heavy wind was not deemed sufficient
as we could not do good back spray
ing. A day or two later tho spraying
was repeated with an opposite wind,
and thoy were overdosed, no doubt
of it. The result was that tho follago
did not develop well. Fifty per cent of
It never got moro than half size, the
remaining leaves never became largo,
hut they had good color. Tho trees
produced a heavy crop of wonder
fully beautiful fruit of tho highest
color and flavor. I felt that it waB a
marvel that thoy could carry through
bo flno a crop with thiB scarcity of
foliage and that it would ho such a
drain upon their vitality that thoy
would nover recover; but thero wero
3eemlngly no 111 effects for thoso trees
had moro than ordinary follago and
growth last year.
Would this servo as a hint? Cnn
wo get flno color through tho means
of lime-sulphur in tho manner do
Bcrlbed? It might bo dangerous to
put through such an experiment in
a wholesale way.
Tho crying need of our mnrkets is

that tho crchardlst cannot always
help. Tho fruit must bo gathered bo

great loss. If the crop is large tho
work must begin early unless help Is
abundant enough to care for it in a
limited period. However, color Is tho
thing to strive for and It may some
times pay to tako a little rlBk Jn wait

much can bo done in this way to Im

Care In Handling Apples.
Tho degree of caro it will pay you

grade of frult you aro putting on tho

MoBt farmers who havo tho home
orchard of GO or 100 trees on tholt
farm seem to regard this portion ol
their equipment as a sourco of per
petual lncomo, needing no caro or at
tention other than harvesting the
fruit. Thoy havo awakened to tho
fact during tho last fow years that
tho old methods of neglect, as prac

from thorough Bpraying, thero Is no

KEEP GARDEN PATCH
IN GOOD CONDITION
Rake Up and Burn the Old Stalks,
Leaves and Fallen Fruit to
Prevent Diseases.
In tho control nnd prevention of
plant diseases sanitation of tho gar
den is important. Thoro Is a number
of our fungous diseases which rest
over tho winter on or in decayed
stalks, leaves or fruit. The resting
stago of tho fungus, sayB a Colorado

ditions. Among such diseases which
rest over In tho above manner aro:
Club root of cabbago, onion mildew,
loaf spot of strawberry; leaf spot of
boots, early blight of celery, lato
blights of colory and asparagus rust.
If a dlsoaso Is not destructive ono

tho old stalks, loaves and fruit left

Maintain Fertility.
Any permanent system of farming
requires that tho roughageB produce
on tho farm bo returned to Uie soil
in order to properly maintain the fer

market valuo for the feed consumed.
Care of Separators.
Cream separators cost monoy and

Ono of tho best ways to keop can
