When entertaining company.\ve ' ex pect to put a little more thought and expense into the menu and a few ex tra thoughts on desserts are usually welcome. Fruit Souffle. Put a half cup of oilIng - Ing water In a saucepan on the stove , melt in it two tablespoonfuls of but ter and stir in a half cup of flour and cook thoroughly. Then add gradually one-half cup of milk , two tablespoon fuls of sugar , and when cool the yolks of two eggs. Eeat well , then fold in the stiff whites of the eggs. Have a layer of jam in a pudding dish and pour the mixture over it. Set the dish In a pan of water and bake for h'alf an hour in a moderate oven. Marlborough Pie. Mix together two cups of grated apples , one and a half cups of sugar , three eggs well beaten , two tablespoonfuls of melted butter , the grated rind and juice of one lem on , and a cup of thin cream. This is enough for two pies. Bake with an under crust and strips of pastry across the top. A meringue may be added in place of the strips and the whites re served for 1L Macedoin of Fruit. Use either lem on or orange jelly and strain into a pitcher. Set a mJcl in a pan of crushed ice and salt ; pour in half an inch of the jelly and let it harden. Then arrange over it a garnish of fruits and nuts and pour over a lit tle more jelly without disturbing the pattern , and let harden. Proceed un til the dish is full. Chartreuse of Fruit. Line a mold with jelly by letting a layer harden in tbe bottoni. then gently place a small er mold on that and fill the space be tween with jelly. When hard fill the center mold with warm water and in a minute it can be removed without disturbing the jelly. Color the re mainder of the jelly pink and mix with fruit and nuts and fill the lined jnolfl with this mixture and chill. A delicious cake to serve with any ligbt dessert is a sponge baked in a shet and cut in squares , which are then covered with an orange frosting. This may be easily done by using a ' fondant , which may be warmed over , i hot water , flavored and the squares ' dipped in this. !

" DRY FARM POTATOES Prof. Jardine Gives Results of Important Experiments. It Is Just Possible to Make the Fallow Add Something to Your Income , the Agronomist Says Three Crops Make Money. It is all very well for scientists to study and delve and dig for the ulti mate salvation of the farmer in the dry land belt , but first tell him and do it quickly what to grow that will bring in money. The sooner this is done the sooner the farmers , consti tutionally skeptical , will respond. "The farmer isn't concerned about fertility , " said Prof. W. M. Jardine in the recent Dry Farming Congress at Colorado Springs. "What he wants is a living and he wants it now. We must help him get it. Show him how to do something now ; tell him how to feed his family , first , and then he will be in position to take up and study the problems we have discuss ed. The tiling to do for him is to show him how to store up every drop , of moisture to grow crops and produce - I duce money. We can do that in short j order and with few words. " Before Professor Jardine's appoint ment as head of the agrOneitty depart ment in the Kansas Agricultural col lege , he started exceedingly valuable potato experiments for the "United States department of agriculture In the dry lands region. These experi ments began three or four years ago at three stations in North Dakota , at Akron , Colo. , and Nephi , "Utah. About 25 varieties of potatoes were used and they were planted in every conceiv able way. In three years the returns were from almost nothing to 300 bush els an acre. On five farms the yield averaged 100 bushels , marketable. Here , in brief , are Professor Jardine's suggestions : For seed , use selected tubers , hand picked. If not too large plant single tubers having only one or two eyes. If large , cut in halves. Two eyes are better than six in seed potatoes. Plant in rows three feet apart , and 20 to 24 inches in the rows , four inches deep ; subsoiling is fairly sat isfactory. Use these varieties : Early Petosky , Irish Cobbler and Early Ohio. ' "These varieties are not the largest yielders , I admit , " Professor Jardine said , "but they are the earliest and , therefore , the most advisable because the farmer may need the money. " "Why should not potatoes be a good crop to grow on fallow land land which , otherwise , would be idle for the year ? That's the question. "Why not plant 50 or 100 acres ? " Professor Jardine inquired. "Why not , anyway , have crops two years in three ? Wouldn't many a dry land farmer like to have $100 an acre from his fallow ? Wouldn't he be delighted to get $50 ? Mind , now , I don't recom mend you to drop wheat in favor of potatoes , but here is a scheme that may tide over many families while they are waiting the result of a scien tific test of systems we advise. " Only three crops in the dry lands are making money , Professor Jardine declared : Wheat , < milo and flax. Why not add another and increase the income - come ? The farmer who thinks he will grow rich on one crop is much mistaken , he said. Potatoes could be planted in the low , waste places where grain cannot be sowed. They would prove to be the farmer's friend. FEEDING SILAGE WITH GRAIN Indiana Agricultural Experiment Sta tion Asks Pertinent Question and Makes Comment on Replies. -Purdue university If Indiana ) agri- cultural experiment station submitted the following question among others to 2,500 Indiana farmers and feeders : "When feeding silage , what kindof grain and roughage do you feed ? " The agricultural station's comment on compilation of the replies received is as follows : "In answer to the above question it was found that 90 per cent , of the feeders using sorn silage depended upon corn as the main part of the grain rotation. Ten per cent , are feeding either cottonseed or linseed meal in addition to other grain with silage. This , according to the results secured at Purdue experiment station in the winter of 1906-07 , would indi cate that the advantage of feeding a concentrated nitrogenous feed with a ration composed of corn and corn silage - age is not generally appreciated as much as it should be. It was found that the addition of cottonseed meal to such a ration resulted in. an in- crease in value of six cents per bushel - el on corn fed over and above tbe cost of concentrated feed. In other words , it proved to be a highly profitable investment - vestment to feed a limited amount of cottonseed meal with a ration com- posed of shelled corn , corn silage and clover. "In the purchase of commercial feeding - ing stuff the fat content is of less im- portance than the protein content. Pro- tein is the necessary ingredient for practically all farmers and dairymen to purchase. It is simply a matter of good business policy to be able to go into the markoi an cvsiact the most digestible proteia for the least ex penditure of mocsj. " Separate Pigs and Hogs. Keep the sows and pigs away from fattening hogs , and give them feeds that produce flesh and bone rather than fat. ! i INDICATION OF HOG CHOLERA Some Symptoms That Are Likely to Be Found in Acute Form of Dis eases Should Be Guarded. If a hog has died and cholera Is sus pected , the carcass should be careful ly examined for indications of the dis ease. As in the case of symptoms.'some ' may be found in one hog and different Indicatoins in another. But some axe sure to be present if the hog died of cholera. The carcass should be opened along the medium line of the belly. The lay er which lies inside the body cavity , the peritoneum , may have red specks or splotches on it. This would indicate the disease. The glands in the throat should be examined. They will some times be speckled and hemorrhagic that is , the tiny capillaries which car ry their blood supply will be rup tured. There is one pair of glands in the throat which is never affected in cholera , but is with tuberculosis , writes Dr. Mclntoch in the Weekly In ter Ocean. The place next to examine will bo the pleural cavity , tfr the division of the body which contains the lungs and heart. In case of death from chilera the lungs will often be congested and parts of them filled with ; blood. The | healthy lung will float in water , but , a congested one will sink. There will j be splotches and redness scattered > over the surface. Sometimes the hog j wm nave pneumonia as a result of the cholera , and this will' be seen in the filled , congested condition of the lungs. In winter this sometimes kills the hog when it would have recovered from the cholera itself. The heart will often show inflammation and redness. The kidneys and spleen often show small spots scattered over the surface like those on a turkey egg. On the kidney these may be seen more plainly after the capsule or tis sue covering the organ is peeled off. The stomach is likely to show spots of inflammation on the outside and be inflamed on the inner surface. The many small glands in the region may show the same characteristic speckled condition as those in the neck. Along the intestines will likely be found the splotchy condition that looks as if a drop of blood had fallen and spread out. The splotches , however , will not wash off. The above indications are more likely to be found in the acute form of cholera , and are associated with a rapid working action of the disease and rather sudden deaths. It is the most virulent form , and should be carefully guarded. WHERE SiLO DOES ITS BEST Most Profitable in Dairy Where It Fur nishes Cheap , Palatable Food With High Feeding Value. It is in the dairy that the silo does its best and most profitable work. It furnishes a cheap , palatable food with a high feeding value. Such a food produces a good flow of rich milk , which brings in the checks. Silage as a milk producer compares favorably with concentrated feeds. More cows can be kept on a given acreage where ensilage is used than where land is used for pasture purposes or crop cured for hay or fodder. I believe about 35 pounds per day is about the right amount of ensilage . for a dairy cow. Along with this six or seven pounds of ground grain , with what clover or alfalfa hay they will eat , should be fed. The grain is oats , barley and bran , writes C. J. Griffing in an exchange. Cows should be milked and the milk removed from the stable before ensilage is fed , so that it will not become tainted with the odor. After feeding the cows I gather up ' bits which have fallen in-the alley and ; feed to the hens. They eat it wull , and I believe it helps to take th-a place of green foods for summer. In order to keep the cows in flesh and keep up the milk flow during the winter months it is necessary to feed liber- aly on the side. ' For this there is nothing more satisfactory - , isfactory than ensilage. Ensilage will ; keep better if fed from a small silo , so a deep layer can be removed from the top each day.For fattening cat- , tie ensilage is a very good food , but j if fed too liberally will produce soft , i red beef. One and one-half bushels ; daily is not too much for fattening i cattle. } DAIRY NOTES. When selecting a cow for the driry look and see if the eye of the a ioiai ! is large and full. | This is the time of the year when j dairy cattle require better care and j more liberal leeding. The busy bacteria gets busy In the milk almost at the moment it is ' drawn from the cow. i As a rule , a large flow of ntlk ! is j associated with a low per cent , ot , fat , while a small flow shows a higher - , er test. , To supply good food for the dairy it is necessary that we exercise tore- ! thought and plan for the fall season j which is sure to come every year. The calf that is expected to de velop into a strong and profitable cow should be given all the chance possi ble during its early period ct growth. A simple way of finding out the value of each cow is by keeping a daily record of the quality , of mill : given by each , and testing it at in tervals. The purchaser of a bull should se lect an animal that is a good individ ual , and whose dam and grand dam on his sire's side tave gcod butter far records. I HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS ? There are two ways to tell whether you have weak kidneys. The first is through the pains in the back and other outward signs. The second is by examination of the kidney secretions. That is why physicians make such a careful examination when you apply for insurance , and if there is any sign of kid ney trouble you are surely rejected. Kidney disease la BO dangerous that it IB a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it , and if pain in the back , recurring head aches , or a fretful , nervous , tired condition makes 3 ou suspect some kidney trouble , take the trouble to watch the kidney secre tions. Look for any 'of the following signs : More or less than three and one half pints passed daily. Too dark or too pale a color. Passages too frequent , profuse , or much reduced , or scalding and painful. Sandy , tfritty or cloudy settlings. Fat or oily-looking layer which gathers on the surface -when allowed to stand , or a jelly-like thickening. Staining of the linen or bad odor. Temporary changes may occur for a time from things eaten , but if the changed ap pearance continues , your kidneys are out of order and need help. Neglect may prove serious.

PiTIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA j j "A few days after birth we noticed ! an inflamed spot on our baby's hip ! j i which soon began spreading until j j baby was completely covered even in j his eyes , ears and scalp. For eight weeks he was bandaged from head to foot. He could not have a stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced it chronic eczema. He is a very able physician and ranks with the best in this locality , nevertheless , the disease began spreading until baby was completely covered. He was losing flesh so rapidly that we be came alarmed and decided to try Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. "Not until I commenced using Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment could we tell . what he looked like , as we dared not . wash him , and I had been putting one application after another on him. On . removing the scale from his head the i hair came off , and left him entirely j bald , but since we have been using i Cuticura , Soap and Ointment he has I , as much hair as ever. Four weeks i after we began to use the Cuticura J Soap and Ointment he was entirely , cured. I don't believe anyone could have ; eczema worse than our baby. j "Before wo used the Cuticura Ren > i edies , we could hardly look at him , he [ was such a pitiful sight.
