One night Miss Marie went to church and, being somewhat tired, she fell asleep during the rather protract ed Sermon. Finally the sermon waR concluded and after the usual prayer the minister picked up the hymnal. "Brethren aud sisters," he an nounced, glancing first at the choir and then at the congregation, "we shall sing hymn 343. Hymn 343."

' ro rid foods of poisons i need PROPER SETTING Excellent Specimen of Healthy Hog. (Prepared by the United States Depart- - ment of Agriculture.) Keep posted concerning the condi tion and health of hogs on your neigh- bora' farms, advises the department of agriculture. Sick hogs on neighbor ing farms are a positive menace, for the germs of hog cholera are easily carried on the feet of men or animals. Look over your herd regularly In or der that any Blck hogs may be prompt ly discovered. If any hogs In the herd are found to be "oil feed" or appear in anywise sick, separate them Immediately from the remainder of the herd and keep them and the main herd under close observation dally. If there Is a ten dency' for the disease to spread in the herd the trouble is probably hog chol era.' 'fhts diagnosis may be confirmed by killing one of the sick animals and e?:amining tho organs in the manner described In Farmers' Bulletin 379 of the department. When the first symptoms of sick ness ara observed an immediate change of feed Bometimes corrects the trouble. This la particularly true of swill fed hogs. If there ,JJ any tendency for the disease to spread In the herd do not temporize, but Imme diately treat the herd with serum from the state college or state live stock military board. Prompt administra tion of the serum Is essential to suc cess. , Remember that hog cholera kills millions of hogs where other diseases kill thousands. DismlsB from your mind all thought of such diseases as "lung plague," "infectious pneumonia," "pig typhoid," for theBe are generally merely fanciful designations given to hog cholera by uninformed men. An All-Metal Poultry Cooling Rack. It Ib essential that the animal heat bo removed from poultry as soon as possible after killing. The all-metal the winter months than later when they have left their winter quarters! The burning of dry grass, leaves and rubbish along the margin of woods and fields Is the best method of destroying the pest during winter weather. The chinch bug is distributed gen erally throughout the United States except In the extreme Weat, and has caused particular damage to the staple grains throughout the Middle west. The greatest losses from the Insect have been In Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Missouri, Iowa, Wis consin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas. The bug when full grown is about one-fifth of an Inch In length. It Ib black with numerous hairs. ' Pasturing sometimes aidB In the destruction of the bug. ; This Is particularly effective to the north ward In the Middle west, when , the grass is green and matted or occurs along hedge rows and rail fences so that It cannot be burned. Leaving the ground bare of vegetation permits the bugs to be exposed to the winter weather, which kills them. It ia often possible to clear out hedge rows and along rail fences, piling the refuse to one side where it can be burned later. It 1b most advisable to get rid of the bugs before they enter the young wheat In the early spring. Once they have reached the wheat they are not readily accessible. Most of them spend the winter In the thick bunches of clump forming grasses In waste placeB, pastures and meadows, along roadsides and railroad rights of way. Vitality of 8eed. As a result of careful tests made, by the department of agriculture of over 3,000 carefully selected ears of what was considered good standard seed corn, more than half of the ears were found to be of low vitality and unfit for seed.

To cook cranberries ae they are brought from the market Is to meet a keen 'disappointment In a delicate berry which many personB do not en Joy because Its wild flavor Is unpleas ant to the taste. Clean the berries, place them In a pan with sufficient water to cover them, and add a halt teaspoon of soda. Boil the berries In the soda water until you hear them bursting. Drain the water from them, It will be found a greenish black, rinse them in cold water, then cook with the sugar. It removes the tang and less sugar is needed to sweeten them If cooked in thlB way. The same method has been used successfully In cooking soup beans, from which the greenish water removes a poisonous substance, makes the bean clear and white when cooked and they cook in less time, too. Others have ueed soda water for cooking rice for a few min utes to remove the artificial glaze which Is a coating of talcum, and a glue-like substance In which pure rice Is Immersed before It is ready for market ARRANGEMENT OF ARTISTIC PIECES OF CHINA. COFFEE SERVED IN ORANGES Idea Is From New Orleans, Where They Claim to Make the Best Beverage In America. A young hostess recently pleased her dinner guests with a new way of serving after-dinner coffee, which she said was learned at a famous New Orleans cafe. The entire rind of an orange is used as a cup. It Is cut with a sharp knife, and the lower half ia turned back to form a standard for the upper half, which is the cup. The orange remains between the two and unites them. The cups are filled with boiling hot black coffee and sweetened by a lump of sugar dipped in cognac. A match applied to each cup before serving ig nites the brandy and the flame so pro duced Ib aided by the oil of the orange rind, so that a charming effect Is pro duced by a tray of these brightly burn ing cups. Each orange is placed on a small plate or saucer. Mock Turtle Soup. Boil a calf'B head until the meat leaves the bones. Leave It In the sea soned soun until the next day. then take it out, scrape off the fat and re move the bones. Put in the jellied stock over the Are with the bones; the ears, chopped; one grated carrot, one sliced onion, a bunch of soup herbs, a teaspoonful of allspice, a saltspoonful of paprika and Bait to taste. Boil for one hour. Take from the fire, strain thicken with two tablespoonfulB of butter rolled in as much browned flour; add two tableBpoonfuls of kitch en bouquet, and, when the soup is thickened, drop in the tongue and parts of the cheek cut into dice. Add a gill of sherry and the Juice of a lemon, and pour upon forcemeat balls In a hot tureen. Make the forcemeat balls by rubbing the brains to a paste with a hard-boiled egg, a little browned flour and the yolk of a raw egg. Roll them In browned flour and let them stand In a quick oven until lightly crusted over. Important Point la Preservation of Color Scheme In Its Entirety How Woman Evolved Really Clever Idea. China and artistic pieces of pottery are 10 Inexpensive and their collection IB a source of so much interest and real enjoyment that their care and ar rangement are a matter of more than passing interest In the home. Good china or pottery Imitations require a suitable setting for best effects. Valu able specimens should be single or placed In groups. Mugs and plates on the plate rail ehould be separated, each collection as a single decoration. The construction of the plate rack should conform to the general style of the room, and the artlclea placed upon It should be of one color, or consist of a collection of pieces which will not give to the room the general air of a curio shop. One woman desirous of having dainty plates upon ber plate rack, but who was unable to get the kind she wished, made several of oriental de sign by cutting patterns from a paper that is used to give a stained glass ap pearance to windows. The paper was cut Into many beautiful patterns and pasted around the edge and acroBe the center of Inexpensive china plates, but lu perfect harmony with the color; scheme of her'dining room. The washing of valuable china needsi to be carried out very cautiously and' carefully. A big wooden bowl, filled! with warm soapsuds, to which a few drops of household ammonia have been added, should be prepared, and each piece of china washed separately In this, using a square of old flannel tor plain pieces and a soft brush for elaborately ornamental articles. Rinse In another wooden bowl of clear, warm water and dry with linen clothsi Wash the pretty, new table china yourself in the dining room. Have a pan of hot water, some soap, a mop and towels in the dining room after the meal is over, and there wash the china. Put them - in their places Immediately afterward and you will not find the work a tax. To prevent fine china plates breaking., put a thickness of blotting paper between them. This may be bought In large sheets and cut Into rounds which are large enough to prevent one plate from marring the decoration of another. Porcelain ware can be mended with ordinary putty mixed with oil. Work a small particle into the worn place, Bet it aside for several days and food can be cooked in the vessel without danger of a putty taste. A good cement for broken china Is made by stirring plaster of parls into a thick solution of gum arable until it becomes a viscous paste. . ' Cabbage or Salad Dressing, Melt In a double boiler one gen erous tablespoonful of butter. Add to it one tablespoonful of flour, one tea- spoonful of sugar, one-half teaspoon ful of made mustard, three dashes of paprika, one-quarter teaspoonful of salt, white pepper to taste. When these are well blended add slowly, stirring constantly to avoid lumps, one half pint of boiling water and three drops of Worcestershire sauce. Con tlnue stirring until thick. Cook five minutes; if too thick put in a little more water. Should the dressing be for cold slaw pour It while hot over finely shredded cabbage, If for salads use when cold.

Great Damage Caused by ths Chinch t ' Bug. The department of agriculture states that chinch bugs In 60 years have probably caused a loss of $350,000,000 to the American farmers. , The bugs ara more effectively destrovei. rtttrtns ears and rejecting those of low vital ity, an average gain In yield of nearly 14 per cent could be secured as a re sult of the better stand and better productiveness of strong plants. Thia Is a very attractive statement. Figure out the cost of these germina tion teats and then figure your last year's corn average and yield and strike a balance, with a 60-bushel yield per acre and with corn, at, say, 60 cents a bushel, the increased profit per acre would amount to $5.04. 8praying Fruit Trees. It is not necessary to apply arsen ate of lead, parls green or other ar senical poison to fruit trees, except when the trees are In leaf. These materials are poisons, uBed to destroy Insects which eat the foliage and fruit. Because of this, these poisons do no good at times when the leaves are off the trees. 8our Milk Substitute for Meat Rations for chickens should include a small portion of meat but as a rule, it Is quite expensive. Commer cially it Is sold In such forms as beef scrap, animal meal, blood meal, and fish scrap. Sour sktmmilk as sub stitute for meat has given splendid results. Economical Cow. A cheap cow la not always the most economical. The value of a dairy cow should be. based upon her capacity to produce, and not upon the appearance nf tha animal Itself. India Curried Eggs.

To ru,in oilcloth clean 'It with hot water or soapsuds, and leave It half wiped, and It will look very bright while wet but very dingy and dirty when dry, and will soon crack and peel off. But If you wish to preserve It, and have It look new and nice, wash It with soft flannel and lukewarm water, and wipe perfectly dry. If you want the oilcloth to look extra nice, after It is dry, drop a few spoonfuls of milk over it and rub with a dry cloth. - Fish With Mashed Potatoes. Butter a baking dish.

Now, when you are ready to sweep, wet the"Bponge, wringing It nearly dry, and tie-it In place. This will also be found an excellent idea when clean ing the range.
