"Uncle Jerry Busk la doing tome hard work toward educating the public in the ways of the weather .bureau since that department came under his eontrol," said a signal service officer lg a press representative. ‘“The weather signals are far from being un derstood by a majority of the people, even in the cities, and much less in the eountry. If there is any one class more than another which the secretary wishes to interest in the signals it is the farmers and out-of-towji people.” And so it is. One of the first discov eries made by Jerry after he took the weather of the country under his wing was the discrimination against his friends, the farmers. He found that while the city people were get ting forecasts regularly in the papers and by means of display sig nals. their country cousins obtained no information until the weather was with the bygones. Uncle Jerry did not like this unfairness in the distribution •f tips on the weather. He had been in New York, and never had to order a cab, a street car, or an elevated traina day ahead of the day when it was going to rain. He had been a farmer also and know the extreme difficulty of deciding in the morning whether it rsoi would be safe to put the mower on -he “m e d d e r patch”or wiser to set the boys oiling harness under the died. Moreover some farmers in .Nebraska and some more on Lomr Island had Tiist, resolved (hat he would make a first-rate candidate for president After thoroughly considering these phases of the situation the secretary sent for Professor Harrington, chief of the weather bureau, and gave him or ders to figure out some means by which the country people would be placed on an even footing with the city folks. Professor Har rington began work at once and thinks he ha solved the pro blem. So appar ently does Unclt Jerry, for an offi cial circular was sent out recently announcing1 the new code of weathe. signals and asking for a responsible person in every town to display the weather flags. Explanation of the Flag Signal). The flags as originally designed were to be made of tin and this mater ial is used in many places. The mus lin flag, though, is in use at most display stat ions for the reason that it is more easily handled. Again from a dis tance they are more easily seen as the flapping caused by the wind is more apt to attract , attention, espe cially if viewed from the points to and from which the wind is blowing. The size, shape and color of the flags, with the code of signals is as follows: No. 1.—White flag, 5x6 feet, will indi cate clear or fair weather. No. 2.—Ulue flag, 5x6 feet, will indi cate rain or snow. No. 3.—White and blue flag, 5x6 feet, will indicate that local rains or show ers will occur and that rainfall will jiot be general. No. 4—Black triangular flag, four feet at the base and six feet long, always rciers to tlie tem perature. When placed above flag's Nos. 1, 2 and 3 it will indicate warmer weather. When placed be low the numbers it will indicate cooler weather. •ynen it is not displayed the indica-, tions arc that the temperature will re-1 main stationary, or that the change in I temperature will not vary more than four degrees from the temperature of the same hour of the preceding day from March to October, inclusive, and not more than sis degrees for the re maining months of the year. No. 5.—White flag, five by six feet, with black Rquare in center, will indi I cate Liu* approacn >f a sudden aud decided fall in the temperature. This signal will not be lisplajed unless it is expected that the temperature will fall to 42 de grees or lower, and will be or hen “‘“P‘ay6a at least twenty-lour w"rs ln advance of the cold wave. Hen No. 5 is displayed No. 4 is al ways omitted. v.Cn Splayed on poles the signals w.

Professor Harrington U making ar rangements to have the flags displayed on railroad cars. The starting points of the trains on all the railroads will be supplied every morning with the forecast, and one man on each train will be assigned the duty of displaying the flags When the public has made itself familiar with the code, every per* son can ascertain the forecast by look ing at any passing train. Th« Whlatu Signals. The professor has also invented a plan to have the locomtlves and facto ries whistle the forecasts for the In formation of farmers who are too far away to distinguish the flag signals and do not feel like putting 98 or #10 into a telescope or field glass to make the observations. Notification will be given in every town and village where there is a steam whistle that at a cer tain hour every day the whistle will sound the signal to indicate the proba ble weather for the ensuing twenty four hours. The warning signal to attract atten tion will be what is called a long blast lasting twenty seconda After this sig nal has been sounded, blasts of from four to six seconds’ duration will refer to the weather; short blasts of three seconds each will refer to the temper ture those for the weather to be sounded first, like this: Blasts. Indications. One long.Fair weather Two long.....Bain or snow Three long.Local rains One short.Lower temperature Two short.Higher temperature Three short.Cold wave Then there is a combination of thes which tell the weather as accurately as the flag signals. Recipes, ' Celery soup makes a nice beginning for a Thanksgiving dinner, instead of oyster soup and oysters escalloped, either with bread crumbs or crackers, may take the place of the regulation chicken pie. Celeby Soup.—Boll two heads of celery very soft and after pressing through a sieve or fine colander Add them to a quart of stock or beef broth .freed from grease. Boil together a few minutes, then add a teacupful of cream and a pint of milk and a large spoonful of butter rubbed smooth with as much flour. Season to taste with salt and pepper and bring to boil. It is also very nice with rice. In three pints of milk boil a cup of rice until it will pass through a sieve. Urate the good part of two or three heads of cel ery; add this to the strained rice and milk, put with it a quart Of white stock and let boil until the celery is thor oughly tender; season with salt and a very little cayenne and serve. Escalloped Oysters.—Two quarts of oysters, half a cupful of butter, half a cupful of cream or.milk, four teaspoonfuls of salt, half a teaspoonful of pepper, two quarts of stale bread crumbs. Butter a deep pudding dish; put a layer of crumbs, then a layer of oysters, and small dots of butter here and there. Continue these alternate layers until the dish is full. Season and moisten with milk or cream, or equal parts of oyster liquor, milk and water. The last layer should be of* crumbs and butter. Bake forty-five minutes or an hour. Watch carefully, though, and take it sooner from the oven if there seems any danger of the oysters becoming shriveled and tough. The oven should be hot. , Braised Turkey.—The French es teem a braised turkey very high y. It is stuffed with a bread dressing or a chicken forcemeat, mixed with minced sweetbreads and mushrooms, but these may be omitted if too expensive. The breast is thickly larded with square shreds of salt pork. Then place in a large saucepan, breast up, with sliced soup vegetables and parsley, cover with water or broth and cook slowly, closely covered on top of the stove or in the oven, until tender. Skim the fat from the gravy, thicken it and serve with the bird. Boast Duck.—Wipe inside and out with a damp towel. Make a stuffing of one cupful of bread crumbs, one tea spoonful of powdered sage, one table spoonful of butter, and teaspoonful of salt and half a teaspoonful of pep per; mix well and fill the body of the duck with it. Put in baking-pan, cover the breast with thin slices of fat bacon, add half a teacupful of boiling water, with a teaspoonful of salt, and bake an hour and a quarter, basting every ten minutes. Serve with onion sauce. Cold Slaw.—Toone'quart of finely shaved cabbage and the yolk of one egg, beaten, a tea spoonfull of sugar, two of melted butter, half a teacupful of cream, one teacupful of vinegar, a tablespoonful of mustard, a tea spoonful of flour, with salt and pepper. Put the dressing on tho fire and boil; when thick, pour over the cabbage; let cool, garnish with rings of hard boiled eggs. Sweet Potato Caramel—Wash four large potatoes and boil until they are tender; peel, cut in lengthwise slices half an inch thick, lay on a shallow baking dish,dredge with flour, sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of sugar, half j a teaspoonful of cinnamon and a little salt; cut a spoonful of butter in bite i over them and pour a cupful of Lot milk or water over all. Set in a hot j oven for fifteen minutes. Plain Flum Pudding.—This is not the standard plum pudding recipe of the Western Farmer household but it is so simple that perhaps some may like to try it as a change: One cup chopped snet, one cnp raisins or cur rants, one cnp of chopped apples (dried or green), one cup sugar, one cup sour milk, one small teaspoon of soda, two cups of flour. Steam one and one-half hours and eat with sauce. Potato Chondrites—Take three cap fuls of mashed baked sweet pots toe*, | and while beating with a fork add slowly a tablespoonful of melted but ter. a teaspoonful of lemon juice, salt and pepper, and a gill of cream. Mold into croquettes, dip in egg and bread 1 crumbs, and fry in hot drippings Tourists, Whether n pleasure beat or business, •houltt tak- « «• >o« ^wssrjaa-« 'xzxscs^ms** 55«=*t£ra£S Catarrh to^r:;otxnh^n^:‘“°s ■sr t* Hood’s Sarsaparilla I C*Urrh “ T0U0 h*» '°r by many ' P~Ple It b« cured.

CINCINNATI,0 “August Flower” There is a gentle Dyspepsia, man at Malden-on the-Hudson, N. Y., named Captain A. G. Pareis, who has written us a letter in which it , is evident that he has made up his mind concerning some things, and this is what he says: "I have used your preparation called August Flower in my family for seven or eight years. It is con stantly in my house, and we consider it the best remedy for Indigestion, and Constipation we Indigestion, have ever used 01 known. My wife is troubled with Dyspepsia, and at times suffers very much after eating. The August Flower, however, re lieves the difficulty. My wife fre quently says to me when I am going to town, ‘We are out Constipation of August Flower, and I think you had better get another bottle.' I am also troubled with Indigestion, and when ever I am, I take one or two tea spoonfuls before eating, for a day or two, and all trouble is removed." & Only a few Announcement! can be included in this advertisement, but they will enable the friends of The Companion to judge somewhat the scope and character of the reading that will be given in its columns during 189a—the sixty-fifth year of its issue. of Nine Illustrated Serial Stories. * The Serial Stories for the coming year will be of rare interest and variety, as well as unusual in number.
