The doctor leads a busy life, he wages
war with death
Long hours he spends to help the one
who's fighting hard for breath,
lie cannot call his time his own, nor
share In others’ fun.
Ills duties claim him through the night
when others’ work Is done,
And yet the doctor seems to be God’s
messenger of Joy,
Appointed to announce this news of
gladness: “It’s a boy I”

President and Mrs. Wilson Revert to the Victoria
In many ways unpleasant is the doc­
tor's round of cares,
I should not like to have to bear the
burdens that he bears,
Ills eyes must look on horrors grim,
unmoved he must remuln,
Emotion be must master If he hopes
to conquer pain,
Vet to his lot this duty falls, his voice
he must employ
A To speak to man the happiest phrase
that's sounded, “ It’s a boyl”
I wish ’twere given me to speak a
message half so glad
As that the doctor brings unto the
fear-distracted dad.
I wish that simple words of mine could
change the skies to blue
And lift the care from troubled hearts^
as those he utters do.
I wish that I could banish all the
thoughts that man annoy
And cheer him as the doctor does,
who whispers: “It’s a boy.”
Whoever through the hours of night
has stood outside her door
And wondered If she’d smile again;
whoe’er has paced the floor
And lived those years of fearful
thoughts, and then been swept
from woe,
Up to the topmost height of bliss
that’s given men to know.
Will tel! you there’s no phrase so
sweet, 60 charged with human
Joy
As that the doctor brings from God
— that m essage: “ It’s a b o y l”

A bran bread which Is wholesome
and easily made is a recipe which
should be found in all households. The
following Is a good one:
Bran Bread.
Take one pint each of flour and
bran, one cupful of buttermilk, or
sweet milk will do, a teaspoonful of
6 odn, a half teaspoonful of salt, three
tablespoonfuls of molasses. Mix and
bake one hour to one hour and a
quarter.
Graham Popovers.
Take one cupful each of graham
flour and white flour, one cupful each
of milk and water, a teaspoonful of
sugar and a half teaspoonful of salt
Bent the flour and the milk together
then add the water and other Ingredi­
ents, beat well with an egg beater,
pour Into hot gem pans and bake In a

Most housewives have dozens of
ways of re-cooking or serving leftover
meats, but too many throw away left­
over vegetables or serve them again
warmed up in the same sauce. Vege­
tables of most kinds admit of so many
ways of cooking that even a spoonful
should never be wasted.
We have any number of recipes
which tell us how to serve the vege­
table in any quantity, but we have to
do in this article with small amounts
which are beneath the notice of the
average cook.
A spoonful of cooked beans washed
from the sauce In which they were
served added to a potato salad will
make that quite another dish; the
same Is true of peas, corn or other
vegetables.
One cupful of stewed com will make
an escalloped dish sufficient for a small
family. Butter a baking dish, put In
the com with alternate layers of but­
tered crumbs: dot each layer with bits
of butter If dry crumbs are used, and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour
over enough milk with a beaten egg
added to cover the corn, and bake until
firm.
A cupful of corn will provide corn
fritters for four people. Add egg, a
tablespoonful of milk and flour, to
make a drop batter; add half a tea­
spoonful of baking powder to the flour;
fry the size of large oysters In a well-
greased frying pan or in deep fat.
There Is no economy In combining
with leftovers expensive foods such as
butter, cream, eggs and ntllk, to make
them pass muster with the family, for
the object In using leftovers is to be
frugal, and at the same time serve an
appetizing dish.
Corn
Muffins.
Bent together one cupful of stewed
corn drained d ry; two egg yolks, one
quarter teaspoonful of salt, a tea­
spoonful of melted butter; add one
cupful of milk, one and one-half cup­
fuls of flour sifted with a tenspoonful
of baking powder. Beat vigorously for
five minutes, then fold In the well-
beaten whites of two eggs. Half-fill
heated muffin Irons and bake In a hot
oven half an hour.
A cupful of tontatoes well seasoned,
heated and poured over toast makes a
most tasty luncheon dish. Eggs may
be added If more nourishment Is need­
ed. Tomato In small quantities may
be added to salads, soups or escalloped
com.
Corn with tomatoes makes a
most attractive escalloped dish.
Cold string beans mnke an excellent
salad. Cook two strips of bacon, cut
In dice until brown; add a bit of
minced onion, salt and pepper; add a
little vinegar and the beans and serve
hot.
Add a generous half-cupful or more
of grated cheese to a small dish of
creamed string beans.
A green pea omelet makes a de­
licious luncheon dish. Drain a cupful
of cooked peas, mash with the back of
a spoon and season with salt and pep­
per. When the omelet Is ready to fold,
spread ever It the peas; fold and fin­
ish cooking.
A sauce for lamb chops may be
made of the usual white sauce with
peas added. Serve as a garnish on the
platter of lamb chops.
Scalloped onions are especially good
using cold cooked onions, a layer of
grated cheese and a cupful of white
sauce. Bake covered with buttered
crumbs.

Suggestions Made for Fight on
the Hessian Fly.
Specialist* Recommend Crop Rotation
and Not Sow ing on Stubble W here
Possible to Avoid— Plow
A ll Lan d Early.
The Hessian fly, one of the oldest
and at times one of the most destruct­
ive enemies of the wheat crop In the
United States, Is again on the increase.
Specialists of the United States de­
partment of agriculture make the fol­
lowing suggestions for combating the
pest :
Practice crop rotation. Do not sow
wheat on stubble if It is possible to
avoid doing so.
Plow under all Infested stubble and
mined wheat, where practicable, soon
after harvest.
Destroy all volunteer wheat by har­
rowing, disking, plowing, or some oth­
er method.
Plow all land to be sown to wheat as
early and deeply as existing conditions
H essian Fly.
permit, and prepare a thoroughly pul­
verized and compacted seed bed.
Conserve moisture against a period
of drought at seeding time.
Use good seed.
Fertilize.
Sow wheat during the fly-free peri­
od, as advised by your farm advisor
or state experiment station.
Adhere to these practices every year,
whether the fly is abundant or scarce.
They will help to keep It scarce.
ORDER FERTILIZERS AT ONCE
A vo id
Transportation Difficulties
A cting Q u ickly— Phosphate
Increases .Yield.
by
So valuable has acid phosphate been
found in growing wheat, the Ohio sta­
tion calls attention to the fact that
farmers will profit by ordering their
fall fertilizers at once. Transportation
difficulties may become more acute
during the summer nnd since the man­
ufacture and transportation of acid
phosphate are of a seasonal nature the
orders shfluld be placed early.
It may be necessary to use consid­
erable fertilizer next fall to combat
the Hessian fly, which has been quite
destructive during this season. In
some cases It Is necessary to plant the
wheat late and fertilize heavily, de­
pending on the fertilizer to give the
wheat a start equal to that of early
sowing. At the Ohio station nnd on
many of the county experiment farms
the use of 100 pounds of acid phos­
phate to the acre 1 ms Increased the
wheat yield by five bushels per acre,
while the residual effect of the fer­
tilizer Is also noted for several years,

ing the wheat paying the entire cost
of the fertilizer application In many
experiments.
USE SULPHUR AS FERTILIZER
Demonstrated In M a n y Cases T h a t It
Is Valuable Agent, Especially
v on Alfalfa.
Much evidence has been accumulat­
ed during the past five years to show
that sulphur In many cases constitutes
valuable fertilizer agent and In
many cases gives remarkable results
when applied In the presence of lime.
In particular, remarkable results have
attended Its use Bn alfalfa. Amounts
of 100 pounds fw the acre have In
many cases given remarkable Increase
In crop.
POULTRY MANURE IS RICHEST
One of Best Fertilizers Made on Farm
— Valuable for Its
Large
Am ount of Nitrogen.
Poultry manure Is the richest ma­
nure made on the farm, but on the
ordinary farm not much attention Is
given It, simply because of the small
amount usually made. Poultry ma­
nure Is valunble chiefly for Its large
amounts of nitrogen and phosphoric
acid, as It contains about three times
ns much nitrogen nnd five or six times
as much phosphoric acid as ordinary
farm manure.
LATE HATCHING NOT FAVORED
E v il Effects Are Strik in gly Show n In
C ulling— Large Per Cent M utt
Be Throw n O uL
The eTll effects of late hatching are
strikingly shown In practical culling
work among farm flocks. The trained
observer can pick out the late-hatched
flock by the lock of size, early moult­
ing tendency and poor body capacity
of the bens. In a flock of late-hatched
birds a large per cent of the hens must
be thrown out as culls.
