By feeding poultry and stock with cooked
food during the winter months, at least one
third of the food is saved; also having stock
in a healthy condition, preventing hog
cholera among your hogs, and insuring the

high prices. This Cooker will pay for itself
in one week's time and is without doubt the

Mr. T. O. Pcarse, of Agricola, Alberta,
Canada, passed through Chicago rccentlyen
route to England. lie paints in glowing
colors the advantages of Western Canada,
and says that a large number of tenant farm
ers from the old country are making their
homes there, and those who, during the
past few years, have gone to that district
from the United States are doing rcmnrlt
obly well. They find the climate delightful,
and, although in very poor circumstances
when they arrived, they are mostly doing
well and have excellent farms, some of them
being able to loan money to the new set
tlers. i As an example of what has been done by
colonists this year, he says Hugh Irvine,
who has been in the country five years,
threshed 3,200 bushels of wheat and received
72 cents per bushel for it. James Fitzgerald
raised 3,000 bushels in the fourth year of hid
settlement, while James Atkinson had a
crop of 3,500 bushels. These men started
without any capital, and were induced to go
through the representations of the Canadi
an Government Agents. The development
of the Edmonton-Klondike route has cre
ated a home cash market. Hundreds of
square miles of magnificent farming country
yet remain for cultivation in the Saskatche
wan Valley and is sold at low prices.

AN OLD CATERER ON TERRAPIN,
When It In Ilcnriy the Divine Sntlnfnc-.
tlon Ih In "Bntlnir It All Yotirnvlf."
James Prosser, a famous colored ca
terer of this city, dead long ago, fur
nished the following formula for pre
paring and serving terrapin. It was
published In a gastrouomical journal
at the time when he was on earth:
"You can't enjoy terrapin unless tho
day Is nlppin'. Temperature and terra
pin go hand In hand. Now, as to your
terrapin. Bless you! there is all tho
difference in the world in them. The
more northerly Is the terrapin found
the better. You cat a Florida terrapin
you needn't despise it, for terrapin Is
terrapin everywhere but you get a
Chesapeake one or n Delaware bny one,
or, better still, a Long Island one, and
there is just the difference between ten
dollars a dozen and thirty-six. Warm
water kinder washes the delicate flavor
out of them. Don't you let Mr. Bergh
know It, but your terrapin must be
boiled alive. Have a good big pot. with
a hot fire under It, so that he shan't
languish, and when It has got on a full
head of steam pop him In. What I am
going to give is a recipe for a single
one. If you are awfully rich and go
in for a gross of terrapin, just use your
multiplication table. Just as soon as
he caves in watch him and try his flip
pers. When they part when you pry
them with your finger nail he is good.
Open him nicely with a knife. B'illng
of him dislocates the snuft box. Pick
out every scrap of his meat. There
ain't overmuch of it, more's the pity.
The most Is in the j'ints of the legs and
side lockers, but if you want to commit
murder just you smash his gall, and
then your terrapin is gone forever.
Watch closely for eggs and handle them
gingerly. Now, having got him or her
all into shape, put the meat aside.
Take three fresh eggs you must have
them fresh. Bile 'em hard and mash
'em smooth. Add to that a tablespoon
ful of sifted flour, three tablespoonfuls
of cream, salt and pepper (red pepper
to a terrapin is just depravity) and two
wineglasses of sherry wine wine as
costs $2.50 a bottle ain't a bit too good.
There never was a gotega In all Portu
gal that wouldn't think himself hon
ored to have itself mixed up with a ter
rapin. Now you want quite a quarter
of a pound of the very best fresh but
ter, and put that in a porcelain-covered,
pan and melt it first mustn't bo
browned. When it's come to be oily put
in your terrapin, yolks of egg, wine and
all. Let it simmer gently. B'iling up
two or three times does the business.
What you ore after is to make it blend.
There ain't nothin' that must be too
pointed in terrapin stew. It wants to
be a quiet thing, just pervaded with ti
most beautiful and natural terrapin
aroma. You must serve it to the peo
ple that eats it on a hot plate, but the
real thing is to have it on a chafing
dish, and, though a man oughtenter be
selfish, there is n kind of divine satis
faction in eating it all yourself." Phil
adelphia Times.
Sleep n m nn Aid to DlgrcNtlon.
There is n time-honored notion that
a nap after meals promotes digestion,
and, filled with this belief, a large num
ber of persons habitually toke a nap
after dinner, and think they nre doing
precisely the best thing for their
health. Thereareothergood authorities,
too, who claim that sleep during di
gestion clouds the mind and predis
poses those who indulge in it to apo
plexy and stupidity. A French scientist
has made this subject a study, and by
exhaustive experiments has discovered
that sleep does not aid digestion, but
rest and a horizontal position nre of
greut advantage in promoting the prop
er conditions for perfect digestion and
assimilation of food. N. Y. Ledger.

SKILL OF DOCTORS TESTED.
Fifteen Years of Suffering.
I thought I should surely die."
When the stomach begins to fail In
its duties, other organs speedily become
nlfcctcd in sympathy, nud life is simply a
burden almost unbearable. Indigestion
and dyspepsia are so common Unit only
the sufferer from these diseases knows
the possibilities of misery that inhere iu
them. Atypical example of the sufferings
of the victim of indiKestion 1a furnished
in the case of John C. 1'ritchard. He went
on for fifteen years, from bad to worse.
In spite of doctors he grew constantly
weaker, and thought he would die. He
got well, however, and thus relates his
experience:
" For fifteen years I was a great sufferer
from indigestion in its worst forms. I
tested the skill of many doctors, but grew
worse and worse, until I became so weak
I could not walk fifty yards without having
to sit down and rest. My stomach, liver,
and heart became affected, nnd I thought I
would surely die. I tried Dr. T. C. Aycr's
Pills and they helped mc right away. I
continued their use and am now entirely
well. I don't know of anything that will
so quickly relieve and cure the terrible
sufferings of dyspepsia as Dr. Aycr's
ruis." John t:. I'uiTciiAui), uroutc, war
