INTO THE STOCK PO RECEPTACLE FOR ALL LEFT-OVER MEATS'AND B0NE8. Clever Housekeeper Allows Nothing to Go to Waste Delicious Flavor That May Be Imparted by Ju dicious Use of Herbs. ' All left-over meats and bones in fresh condition can be used for the stock pot The bones from roast meat and the giblets and carcasses of poultry are especially good. The gib lets Include not only the gizzard and heart of the fowl, but the neck, the wing pinions, the head and feet The heads must be skinned, carefully washed, and the bills and eyes cut off;' the tiny morsel of brain gives the broth an extra succulency. To clean the feet, first cut off the nails and let them lie in boiling water for ten mln utes, after which the skin can easily be removed. But also soak them in salt and water to remove the barnyard odor before putting them on to cook Chicken and turkey feet are gela tinous and add a good deal to the quality of soup stock. The feet and beads of ducks and geese, however, are not good for the soup. After col lecting all the material that can be had,-weigh it and add a quart of water to each pound, putting in two or three carrots, one medium-sized onion, sev eral celery stalks, a few sprigs of lmralev and salt and pepper. Cook slowly until the meat falls to rags skimming off grense carefully for, if allowed to remain this will give the stock a rank taste. Strain while hot and when cold cover the vessel ard . put away in a cool place. A great mnny herbs and epices whose usefulness is rarely considered In America are used In France and Italy to obtain the delicate flavors lor which the French and Italian dishes nre famed. The most important eea poner in these countries is garlic, which with proper use Is delicious and with wrong use is atro?ious. A garlic pod is made up of a number of little sections called cloves, and one of these, peeled and bruised, is enough to season an immense dish. For a little plat made up for two or three persons, several thin Savings from the clove are enough, and where the palate wishes only tbj slightest sue gestion of the taste, .he serving dish or vessel may only be rubbed with the garlic. This Have is necessary for all sauces that go with spaghetti; a beef steak rubbed with garlic before It is cooked is vastly Improved, and two cloves of it put into incisions in a leg of mufton or lamb to be roasted will improve them wonderfully. Tv.o or three common cloves, stuck in nn onion ai:d boiled with beef soup add to the flavoring, and if a tallespoonful of Worcestershire 1b put with lamb or beef to bo boiled the taste will be another thing. Hungarian pepper or paprika, is also a very useful com modity In the kitchen, this giving the most delicate flavor to tomato dishes, omelets and salads of all sorts. For potato salads tarragon vinegar is ex cellent, and chives, which can be grown in a little pot in any kitchen, are invaluable for the piquancy they will give any dish, from an omelet to a fruit salad. Sorrel, which is also easily grown, is delicious for Friday soups made of milk or a rich vegeta ble stock with cream. The bora d'oeuvre is not much used by private families in America, but a dish of any of the things used will ad mirably set off a modest meal. For oysters' or clams, cooked or raw, two hours before serving chop two or three shallots fine and put them in a Baucedlsh with salt, pepper, vinegar and oil. Pass this around with the shellfish, supplying email plates for holding the sauce. Another excellent bora d'oeuvre can be made of one green pepper, several slices of ber muda onion, and one firm, fresh to mato. Peel the tomato and denude the pepper of seeds. Then cut the last in fine shreds, patting these on top of a slice of onion laid in turn on a lice of tomato. But do this Individ val arrangement after the vegetables have marinated in a dressing of olive oil, lemon Juice or vinegar and salt and pepper. Anchovies, preserved In oil are famous appetizers, and they are served as they come on a little dish with hard boiled eggs chopped fine, capers and minced parsley. Nice Fish Dish. Spanish mackerel is very nice baked with tomato sauce. Remove head, tall and Una, split the fish in two and re move backbone. Season with a little salt and pepper-and place in an earth en baking dish, skin side up. Put over It half an ounce of hot melted batter, sprinkle with chopped onion and squeeze half a lemon over it Put it In the oven for 15 minutes, then pour over it a teacupfnl of strained and sea soned tomato sauce, bake for 15 min utes longer and serve in the dish it as baked In.

Hoped to Disseminate Principles Broadcast Throughout Common wealth and Bring About Reclame- -tion of Abandoned Farms. Boston. After many years of dis cussion a definite program, arranged by David Snedden, commissioner of the state board of education, has been submitted to the legislature whereby it is proposed to have scientific! farm lug taught in the public scLools and Its principles disseminated broadcast throughout the entire state. By his program the commissioner hopes to bring about the reclamation of abandoned farms and a general de velopment of agriculture along expert lines. His recommendations call for the establishment of six state agrlcul tural schools and an agricultural de partment in every high school in the state. Not only is this sweeping addition to the system of the state approved by the educational authorities, but it is supported us a thoroughly practical measure by Secretary J. Lewis Ells worth, of the Btate board of agrlcul ture, whose knowledge of farming con dltlons and possibilities Is unques tloned. That the farming population will be Increased and that the "back to the land" impulse will be gratified with a certainty of success by the city bred high school graduates of the next few years are results to be expected. Also, it is the most practical step toward utilizing small plots of land in in tensive farming. On this point Secretary Ellsworth says: 'From the agricultural standpoint the recommendations of the state board of education are very welcome, and they bear out the conclusions that progressive farmers have arrived at The scientific instruction in farming as a life work is needed just as much as the vocational instruction in other lines. 'The farmer today knows this, and with the teaching of boys in high schools or separate agricultural schools we will receive recruits for the farm work of the future. "General Instruction in agriculture will be of special value in fitting the students for working profitably small plots near our large cities where there Is a ready market This calls for In tensive farming to achieve the fullest profits, and the graduates of these schools wlfl be fitted for such work." The importance of his recommends' tions is dwelt upon by Dr. Sneddon, who has spent the last year in inves tigating the special needs of agricul tural education. One of the most im portant of these as it la set forth in the carefully considered report of the board, is: The growing commercial and in dustrial school facilities open to boys and girls, fourteen years of age and older tend to lure away from the land and into congested centers, in the ab sence of competent and attractive ag ricultural education, many young peo ple whose natural aptitude would make them, If properly trained, better and more prosperous citizens in the country. "Financial aid for agricultural edu cation suitable for adults and for col lege students has for a half century been furnished by the commonwealth and by the federal government State aid for vocational training of the sec ondary grade in agriculture is, more over, entirely in keeping with state aid for independent industrial school work and to some extent has been provided for. The slow development of second ary agricultural schools, the testimony of farmers throughout the state, and ths demand for the investigation which was made by the legislature of FARMING 1910 are evidence of the need of addi tional legislation providing for this kind of agricultural education." HEDGEHOG FIT FOR EPICURE Maine Advocates 8ay Bounties Caused Great Waste of Good Food Pre ferred to Skunk or Muskrat Machlas. Me. "It Is a shame." says a lover of hedgehog meat "that the people of Maine have remained in ig norance regarding the delights of eat ing roasted hedgehog for so long. If they had been utilized as food those 150,000 dead hedgehogs for which Maine has paid out $38,000 in boun ties would have kept two regiments of soldiers In meat for six weeks. It was a cruel and wanton waste of pre cious food." The advocates of hedgehog meat as part of the regular bill of fare assert that In England the average poacher prefers a hedgehog to a hare for break fast. In Michigan the legislature has placed a perpetual close time on hedge hogs, so that percons lost In the woods and without food may find meat to sat isfy their hunger and kill It without the aid of shotgun or rifle. It is as serted on good authority that more than 20 men are saved from starving In Michigan every year because hedge hogs are abundant and easy to cap ture. When a Maine Indian has his choice of a hedgehog, a skunk, a woodchuck and a muskrat for dinner, he will se lect the first named invariably, and take the skunk as second choice, leav WOMEN HUNT FOR GOLD Clergyman's Widow and Authoress Plan to Aid Poor With $20,000, 000 Cocoa Treasure. San Francisco. Although numerous tales involving the search for hidden treasure on the little island called Cocos, off the west coast of Costa Rica, have been related, none is as strange as that told upon the arrival here of the steamship Stanley Dollar from Ancon. Seven men and two women were taken from Ancon aboard the Stanley Dollar and landed upon the treasure island, which for over half a century has been the Mecca for adventurers from all over the world. The party possesses two tons of supplies, boats and a chart of the treasure. Not only is the band of lid venturers led by the women, but In case the search for the reputed $20,000,000 treasure Is successful the entire amount is to be used for the benefit of the London poor. Mrs. B. Till, commander in chief. Is the widow of a noted London clergyman, while Miss L. B. Davis, the chief aid to Mrs. Till, is sold to be a literary woman of note. Intensely religious, both women have been connected with philan thropic work in London for the last decade, and it is with the expectation of so expending the vast lost wealth of the Peruvians that the expedition was organized. The women believe it especially appropriate that the treasure -should be used for religious purposes, for the bulk of It was taken from the Lima cathedral when the Peruvian capital was threatened by Chileans. For safe keeping all the altar pieces, consisting of the rails, Images, the Madonna and the 12 apostles, were placed on board the American ship Mary Deer. The figures were all of solid gold and life sized. Besides there were millions in precious gems. The manner is which the chart came into the possession of the women is strange. Cared for during his last ill ness in London by Mrs. Till and MlsV. Davis, an aged and dying former pi rate confessed his complicity la the stealing of the treasure when be and ths crew of the Mary Deer mutinied. MET DEATH ing the woodchuck, which Is the only one of tbo lot a Maine white man will taste, to the last. Unlike the skunk and the woodebick, which are lean and unsavory except for a few months in the fall, or the muskrat, which Is never fat, and which has a strong flavor In spite of parboiling, the hedgehog is al ways in an edible condition, and has meat that is as tender and white as that of a spring chicken. The method of cooking a hedgehog is so simple that a novice can learn in one short lesson. When the epi cure Js permitted to make choice he should shun the large', old males, which at times weigh 30 or 40 pounds. The nrenaration consists In removing the viscera, washing out the Interio? and filling the cavity with slices of fat pork, peeled raw potatoes, sprigs of spearmint and wild celery from the brook. Then, without removing the quills of skinning, the body is plastered thick ly with wet clay, from the nearest bank. The muddy, bulky mass Is thrust Into live coals and covered with blazing fagots, to be roasted for two hours. On removal from the coals, the clay Is found to have been baked Into a hard and solid mass, which must be broken open with an ax or a heavy stone, whereupon the skin and quills of the animal cling to the clay wrap ping and fall away, leaving the clean, white meat ready to be eaten. Ten years ago the Maine legislature passed a law providing for a bounty of 25 cents a head on all dead hedge hogs brought to the town clerks. An appropriation of 500 for each of the years 1901 and 1902 was made, but when the total for the two bounty years reached $38,000, the legislature quickly repealed the law. killed the officers of the ship and sailed away from Callao. The muti neers hastened toward the Galapagos islnnds, but. being intercepted by a man-o'-war. went to Cocos island, where the treasure was hastily cached, and the pirate sailed away. The Mary Deer was overtaken by a Peruclan war ship, and with the exception of two men ail were put to death. One of these was the dying pirate. In proof of the truth of his story, it is said, the aged man surrendered to his nurses a portion of one of the Madonna's ears, which was found to be made of pure gold.

I'm going back to Montana to wire my wife to come on alone and call the police as soon as the train gets Into Chicago." Would Have Real Utility.

Among the many ways in which such figures would have utility would be la afford ing instructive comparisons between expenses on a war footing and ex penses on a peace footing under stand pat control. A TRAIN LOAD OF TOBACCO. Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for Lewis' Single Binder Cigar Factory. What is probably the biggest lot of all fancy grade tobacco held by any factory in the United States has Just been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis' Single Binder Cigars. The lot will make twenty-four carloads, 'and is se lected from what is considered by ex perts to be the finest crop raised in many years. The purchase of tobacco is sufficient to last the factory more than two years. An extra price was paid for the selection. Smokers of Lewis' Single Binder Cigars will appre ciate this tobacco.

Case and Comment Clean 8anltary Floors. Varnish, which Is commonly regard ed only as a beautlfler, is an efficient sanitary agent. Varnished surfaces can be cleaned by wiping, and the microbe laden dust Is thus kept out of the air. A varnished floor is therefore not only up to date, beautiful and easily clean ed, but is wholesome. The National Association of Varnish Manufacturers, 636 The Bourse, Philadelphia, Penn., are distributing free a booklet entitled "Modern Floors," which tells how floors may be made and kept whole some and attractive.
