Mary was a very eerious-mlnded young miss of ten and was keenly In terested In the religious education of her younger slstor, Dorothy, aged six. Indeed, she felt that the little sister's education In Biblical stories had been sadly neglected. One day she con flded to her mother that Dorothy was very Ignorant on the subject of the ruclflxlon and the resurrection and should bo enlightened before tho next Easter time came around. The mother suggested to Mury that he be the one to (ell the little sister tho stories, and to make them Just as vivid and real as she could.

Goethe. SPRINGTIME FOODS. II Is necessary to havo a system of houseclennlng when the eniiy spring greens appear, for tho sluggish body often overfed needs' the rejuve nating of fresh mineral filled foods to prepare us for the work of the summer. Bilious ness nnd vnrlous kindred Ills may be completely routed by a careful diet of vegetables and n free uso of fruits. Jaturo provides us In tho spring just the foods we need, without re sorting to the time-honored sulphur nnd molasses treatment, through which mnny of us hnvc suffered. Tho dandelion contains tnraxlcum the tonic which Is In so many spring medicines. This nets directly on tho liver, stimulating It to healthy action Tho Inck of exercise in winter Is one of the worst features of our living, for cxerclso Is life to the body. Tho liver from lnnctlvlty and plenty of food bo- conies clogged and does not do Its work, hence biliousness and various other annoying Ills. Tho liver Is one of the most Important orgnns In tho body and must be kept free to work Its process of elimination. When clogged the whole mnchlnery of. tho body Is out of order. How much plensnnter It Is to ent a dish of crisp, fresh greens than to take unpleasant-tasting medicine. Tho use of good olive oil on salads makes them more valuable, as the oil is a food, It Is healing to inflamed tissues, it lubri cates the tissues and stimulates tho ac tion of tho liver. Cowslips are another early vegetable which may be found In almost any neighborhood, tho exercise used In go ing for, nnd bringing them home Is not tho least of their value. Spinach, Swiss chard, pepper grass and lettuce should bo found In every garden. Fresh fruit, dried fruit nnd green vegetables are the best of spring medi cines. Those who do not llko ollvo oil may hnvo been turned against it by being served with a rnncld oil or one of in ferior quality. Oil should bo sweet, nutty nnd of n most uppetlzlng odor and taste. Early radishes may bo raised long before tho garden crop Is ready by put ting a few seeds into n hotbed, or a large flower urn, cover with glass for n while, and with plenty of water the radishes will soon be ready for tho tnble. If you are fortunate enough to live nenr n running brook whore witter cress prows, you have one of the best curly spring greens ns well us ouo of the best blood tonics. There Is nn Idea abroad among moral peoplo tlmt they should, make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good: myself. MORE GOOD THINGS FOR SICK. Vegetables which aro tender and delicate such ns nsparngus tips, ten der green onions, cnull flower nnd various other combinations which wU occur to those who must prepnve dainty foods or food' for the sick. Aspnrngus or green onions cooked until ten der then served on tonst with butter or a white sauce Is good. A grat ing of nutmeg Is n stlmu- luting seasoning to add to any dish, unless the patient objects to the flavor. Glazed Sweetbreads. Parboil the heart sweetbread, drain and remove nil connecting tissue, then placo In a ramekin. Dissolve n teaspoonful of beef extract In two tenspooufuls of boiling water, season with salt and paprika nnd pour over the sweetbread. Cook in u hot oven basting often. When glazed over .transfer to a hot dish, surround with seasoned hot pens nnd servo nt once. Cilbbngo, when It is allowed Is very nlco shredded very line, crisped In cold water and served after drying well, with French dressing. This snlnd Is especially good to follow tho sweet bread.

They may bo skinned feathers and all, It tnkes but a few minutes to prepnre them nnd one broiled In paper Is excellent for n tid bit for the Invalid. If there seems to be nny objection to the bird itself, why tell them nil the details. The sparrow Is n grain eating bird and there should bo absolutely no more objection to them than to the squab or pigeon. A simple snlad such ns head lettuce with French dressing may often bo served, chopped celer, shredded let tuce, cottage cheese, ns well as water cress are all good at times. Flaked Eggs. Break two eggs Into a bowl and bent just long enough to mix well, put one-fourth or a cupful of milk In a small pan nnd when scalding stir In the eggs nnd cook un til tho whlto Is In flakes.

Hominy with crenm and sugnr makes a most substantial dish, nnd one which may bo either served as a breakfast dish or as u dessert. Hominy may bo easily prepared nt home, using hnrdwoort ushes for tho lye, boiling tho corrt In lye wnter until tho hulls nre softened so that they mny bo rubbdd off. A large uisn mny bo pre pared nt one timo, keep ing it In a cool place, or it mny be canned for use In sulnmer If desired. Potted Hominy and Meat. Chicken Is especially good In combination with corn nnd tho following wll bo found to bo a most satisfying dish : If tho fresh hominy Is used It steeds no soaking or cooking, but for the dried lioinlny take two cupfuls, sonk It over night and cook In n double boiler or flreless cook er for four hours, or until tender. Melt two tnblespoonfuls of fat, udd two ta- blespoonfuls of flour, and when well mixed ndd two cupfuls of milk; cook until thick. Add four diced potatoes, two cupfuls of diced carrots, a tea spoonful of salt and a cupful of any cooked or dried meat. Mix all together und bake for one hour. Rice, Peas and Tomatoes. Souk two cupfuls of dried peas In two quarts of water. Cook until tender In water In which they soaked. Add one and one-half cupfuls of cooked rice, six sliced onions, a tablespoonful of salt, a quarter of teaspoonful of pep per, two cupfuls of stewed tomatoes and cook 20 minutes. , Dried fruits well soaked und cooked until tender will need but little or no sugnr to make them palatable. Fish en Casserole. Ilemovo skin and bono from pickerel, or tho carp ninkes good eating served In this way. Placo In a casserole, cover with any good vegetable water and a table spoonful of vinegar. Add threo slices of onion, n nay icur, three peppor corns, three slices of lemon, a tea spoonful each of sugur and salt. Cover and bako until the flsh is ten der. Remove tho flsh and thicken the broth, then servo in tho dish in which It was baked. m FEEDING YOUNG DAIRY STOCK Where Milk Is Not Available It Is Eco nomical to Supply Protein by Uso of Legumes. ( (Prepared by the United States Depart mcnt of Agriculture) It Is a common practice nmong dairymen to feed skim milk until tho cnlf Is approximately six months or age. Usunlly tho time of weaning de pends upon the availability and cost of tho milk. When milk is fed In nbundnnco it furnishes the greater part of tho pro tein necessnry for tho growth of tho animal. If no milk Is fed It becomes necessary for the protein to bo pro vided from some other source. Praj- nbly this enn bo doilo most econom ically by tho uso of some legume, such ns alfalfa, clover, soy beans, or cow- pea hny. When hay of this sort Is not avallnblo it is necessary to provide the bulk of tho protein through n grain mixture. In cither case, plenty of roughage should be supplied to the growing heifer nt nil times. During summer, when good pnsturc Is nvnll- able, the heifer needs no supplement- nry feed, nlthough n little hay nnd grain nre sometimes ndvlsnblo Into in tho season to Insure steady growth.' Part of tho roughage should bo sil age, if it is available. A heifer of six months to one year of ngo will consume from G to 15 pounds of sll- nge n day. The grain mixture used may be mndo up of (1) 3 parts of cracked corn, nnd 1 pnrt whewt bran; (2) or 3 parts cracked corn, 1 pnrt wheat bran, nnd 1 part ground onts; (3) or 3 parts cracked corn, 1 part wheat bran, 1 part ground onts, and 1 part linseed meal; (4) or 4 parts cracked corn, 1 pnrt wheat bran, 1 part ground oats, nnd 1 part blood meal. Either 1, 2, or 4, together with all tho alfalfa, clover, or cowpea lfny that tho heifer will eat, makes a good ration. In case no leguminous hay such as that Just mentioned con be ob tained, No. 3 Is advised, because it contains more protein. Another ex- Calves Should Be Encouraged to Eat Good Roughage at an Early Age. cellent grain mixture, to bo used when such hny Is lacking, Is composed of 2 pnrts of cornmenl, 2 pnrtH, of lin seed meal, and 1 part of bran. The, quantity of grain to bo fed dc- pends-vory largely upon tho Individual animal's growth and condition, ns well as upon tho price of the grain. Some feeders doslro n rapid growth of tho young nnlmnls, and for this reason feed heavily with grnln, while others nre satisfied with n slow growth and try to carry their young stock largely on roughage. Either extreme Is un wise and a medium course between the two Is advisable. A safe rule to fol low is to feed one pound of grnln for tho first hundredweight of tho heifer and one-half pound for each addition al hundredweight. After the heifer rcilchus (ftie ycur of age, tho following rations aro sug gested : Cornmenl, fed according to tho rule Just mentioned, together with nil the alfalfa, clover, or cowpea hay that tho nnlmnl will consume. If no leg uminous hny Is available, grain com posed, of 2 parts corhmeul, 1 of brun, und 1 of linseed mcnl, gluten meal, or cottonseed meal, nnd 10 to 20 pounds of silage, together with all the dry roughage that the animal can con- Bumc, will ho found to be adequate, Under ordinary circumstances n gain of nt least n pound a day from tho time of weaning to the time of first culvlng is a good averago for a dairy heifer. SHIPMENT OF DAIRY CATTLE Not Advisable to Ship Fresh Cows Long Distances Except In Fast Express Cars. Do not ship fresh cowb long dis tances unless In express cars under particularly favorable conditions. Tho expense Involved naturally limits such operations to valuable purebred Indi viduals. Time and time again, as u result of being shipped shortly after freshening or so as to culve In transit, fresh cows havo been ruined so far as tho next lactation bus been con crned.
