For Young and Old
How to Tost and Prepare It and Hew
It Should Be Served.
AU fish must, of course, i>e strictly
fresh. If It is easily pulled from the
bones It Is u sure sign the fish is stale.
The brightness of the eye Is another
test of freshness and one that cannot
be remedied artificially. For this reason
a purchaser should be suspicious of any
fish from which the eyes have been re-
moved or fish offered for sale without
the head. The skin should be smooth
and un wrinkled and the color fresh and
clear. Dip in scalding water for a few
seconds to remove the scales or skin.
Always soak salt fish in salt wuter
instead of fresh water. The strong '
taste usually so difficult to destroy will
be entirely removed and the fish will be
more palatable than when soaked tn
fresh water.
Fish contain the same kind of nutri­
ents as other food materials. >Vheu
accompanied by bread and butter, po­
tatoes, green vegetables and fruit, they
provide a diet that will supply all the
demands of the body. All sorts of fish
may be boiled, steamed, baked, plank­
ed. fried, stuffed, scalloped. served in
cream, made Uito ramekins, croquettes,
salads, served hot or cold in Jelly, pot­
ted and pickled. At a conventional
dinner fish follows the soup and may I I
be served with i>otatoes and cucumber
or lettuce salad. At a home dinner it
takes the place of meat. Do not serve
a sweet or heavy dessert at the close
of a fish dinner, as the combination is
not good. Coffee may be served, but
tea is to be avoided after fish.—Wash­
ington Star.

Ths First Quarantine.
From all accounts the custom ot
quarantine originated in Venice some­
where about the beginning of the
twelfth century. All merchants and
others coming from the eastern coun­
tries were obliged to remain in the
house of St. Lazarus for a period of
forty days before they were admitted
Into the city. Taking the idea from
Venice, other European cities, especial­
ly port towns, instituted quarantine
during seasons of plague and well down
into modern times most nations adopt­
ed the system, applying It when it was
deemed necessary.

"Walter,” said the diner, “it says here
ou the menu ‘green bluefish.’ ”
"Yes, sir. That means fresh—right
from the water, sir.”
"Nonsense!” said the diner. "You
know well enough they do not take
bluefish at this season.”
The waiter came up and looked at
rhe disputed item.
“Oh. that, sir,” he said with an air of
enlightenment, "that am hothouse blue­
fish, sir."—Boston Transcript.

Watson and Ireland.
Sir William Watson has earned the
right to be termed Ireland’s poetical
champion, although he was born In
Yorkshire and la of Yorkshire ancestry
on both sides. Home rulers say that
there is no more terse description of the
position of Erin than that contained in
the famous lines of his “Ode on the
Day of the Coronation of King Ed­
ward VII.:”

An Historic Battle.
The great battle of Crecy was fought
on Aug. 24, In 1344. It was here that
Edward the Black Prince gained hon­
or. The blind king of the Bohemians
was slain and the ornaments on his
sword were adopted as the coat of arms
of the princes of Wales, the coat of arms
being three ostrich feathers with the
words “Ich Dien.” It was at this bat­
tle also that cannon were used for the
first time In history.

Perhaps the biggest artificial light in
the world is the 50,009,000 candle pow­
er light installed at the falls of Niag­
ara. When this gigantic Installation
was made it was claimed to be the
nearest approach to real sunshine ever
devised by man, and that may be true.
But it is interesting to ascertain, if
possible, how much it fell short of the
actual output of light by our great
luminary, and. strangely euough, there
are figures in existence which enable
a comparison to be made. Yet it may
be stated at once that these figures
are so stupendous as to leave the hu­
man mind absolutely- “in the dark.”
Professor Young made a calculation
some years ago, based upon careful
and repeated experiments, of the total
quantity of sunlight given out by our
sun, and he found It to be a quan­
tity represented by candles running to
twenty-eight figures, candle power be­
ing the official unit.
How many lights equal to the Niag­
ara Installation would it require to
match Dame Nature's big installation
which appears above the horizon so
regularly day by day? More big fig­
ures! It would require 81,500,000,000.-
000,000,000 lights Just as powerful as
the biggest man has accomplished "on
his own.” So even Uncle Sam will
have to try again. The Niagara illu­
mination is “some” light, but old Sol

From time immemorial China has
been called the Flowery Kingdom, a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasts of flowers
of the spirit in the world desert of bar­
barism. In this oasis grew the arts ot
the bronze and stone worker, of the
silk maker and embroiderer, of the pot­
ter, of the painter on silk, of the poet,
philosopher and ethical devotee. But
China was not named the Flowery
Kingdom because of these flowers ot
tl>e mind. Her flora is one of the most
luxuriant In the world. It is estimated
to consist of some twelve thousand spe­
cies, nine thousand of which are kuown
and one-half of which are Indigenous
and not found elsewhere.
Such being the flora of China, it is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became a skilled
and honored profession.—Scribner’s.

Makes Clubbing Arrangement With
The Oregon Farmer
Offers Unusual Opportunity to Its Readers
MONG our large circle of readers
there are a great many who are in­
terested directly or indirectly in
fruit growing, dairying a'nd other
branches of farming. All of these
naturally wish to keep in close touch with ag­
ricultural activities throughout the state;
and to know about any fight which is being
waged for the measures Oregon farmers
want and against all sorts of schemes that
are detrimental to the people and agricultural
interests of this state.
A
We have, therefore, made a special clubbing
arrangement with THE OREGON FAR­
MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrower,
who is one of our regular subscribers and who
is not now a subscriber to THE OREGON
FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE
OREGON FARMER in combination with
this paper at the same rate as for this paper
alone.
This offer applies to all those who renew or
extend their subscriptions as well as to all
new subscribers. If you are interested di­
rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture,
do not miss this unusual opportunity, but
send your order in now.
THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm
paper which is devoting itself exclusively
to the farming activities and interests of
Oregon. It has a big organization gath­
ering the news of importance to farmers,
dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and
poultrymen; and it has the backbone to at­
tack wrongful methods and combinations and
bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident
that our readers will congratulate us on our
being able to make this splendid and at­
tractive clubbing offer.
