IMPROVED SEEDS ARE BEST
Ott? Quart of New Variety of Corn
Would Grow Enough to Plant Big
Acreage at Small Cost.
(By M. W. KELLEY.)
I believe that every farmer would
?nd it profitable to devote a certain
portion of his farm to growing seed
lor the coming year. In this way he
could buy seed each year and plant it
cn his test grounds and grow all that
would be required for his next year's
crops.
One quart of some new variety of
?eld corn would grow enough seed to
plant quite an acreage and thc cost
would be comparatively small. A peck
Carefully Selected and Prepared.
of some new kind of potatoes would
furnish seed for quite a patch next
year. One bushel of seed oats would
furnish enough seed for a number of
acres the next year.
This would give the seed an oppor
tunity to 'become better acclimated
and he could select the best 3eeds for
home use, which is an opportunity that
seldom comes to a farmer who buys
seed from the seedrnen who sell it
from the general crop which is raised
by farmers especially for them.
Then there is always an opportun
ity for a farmer to sell choice seed
oats, corn or potatoes to his nearby
friends for a better price than his gen
eral crcr.3 will bring. The time is
coming when good seed will be better
appreciated by farmers.
Cultivating Potatoes Late.
The Virginia truck experiment sta
tion has found that the best results
in growing potatoes are obtained
where the soil is kept level during
the earlier cultivations, but as the
season advances earth may be worked
toward the vines by means of winged
cultivators in order to keep the tubers
thoroughly covered and free from sun
scald.
It has also been found best to con
tinue cultivation as late in thc season
as possible. Many eastern Virginia
growers do not stop cultivators un'il
.two or three weeks before digging is
.?tarted.

inexpensive and Really Cleaner and
More Sanitary Than Those Packed
With Sawdust and Other
Materials.
The construction of a good ice box
consists essentially of two boxes made
of tongued and grooved lumber three
fourths of an inch thick. The two
boxes were made of such dimensions
that the smaller one will fit into the
larger one with an inch to spare all
around and on the bottom, the boxes
being held firmly together by having
inch strips nailed to the inside of the
larger one at intervals of a foot apart.
Before these strips are put in place,
building paper should be tacked to
the inside of the outer box, and to the
I outside cf the Inner one, then after
j the paper is on, the space between the
! bc:;es is carefully measured and the
i inch strips planea down so that it will
j be a snug fit when the box is placed
J within the other.
The construction of the cover is the
same as the sides and bottom, except
that there is a flange at the front and
sides of the cover.
The corners of the outside box are
strengthened and made tighter by
haling a strip of building paper
tacked over them, and corner boards

an inch thick nailed over it, like the
corner-boards of a building.
Cleats nailed on the bottom at each
end will strengthen the box and make
it more easy to move about.
The inside of the box is lined with
zinc or galvanized iron, the latter be
ing much cheaper, and just as good
for Beveral years.
After the box is put together a strip
of thin lumber covers the upper Bpace
between the boxes, thus making a
dead-air space.
A short piece of half-inch pipe is

more sanitary than those packed with
sawdust and similar materials.
Apple Sago.
To make apple sago put 1 cup sago
in a quart of tepid water, with a pinch
of salt, and soak 1 hour. Take 6 or
S apples pare and core or quartered
and Steamed tender, and put In the
pudding dish. Boil* and stir the sago
until clear, adding water to make it
thin, and pour it over the apples. Bake
I hour. This is good hot with butter
and sugar. As apples are hard to get
now. make it this way: One quart milk,
4 tablespoons sago boiled in the milk
till soft. Set dish In kettle of hot wa
ter and let the sago swell gradually.
Beat up 3 eggs and stir into cooke i
milk and sago; salt and sugar to
taste. Then put in oven and bake
very lightly. Serve with creamy
sauce.
Vermont Blueberry Cake.
Cream together half a cupful of but
ter and a scam cupful of granulated
sugar. a:;dinK cue well-beaten egg, a
tiny pinch of grated nutmeg, half a
teaspoonful of lemon juice, half a cup
ful of sweet milk, and two heaping
teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted
with sufficient pastry flour to form a
cake batter. Heat the mixture until
very light and fold in a large cupful of
blueberries. Bake In a shallow ob
long pan in a rather quick oven for 25
minutes. When baked, dust the top
thickly with powdered sugar and serve
hot. Cut into squares or the squares
may be torn lightly apart and spread
with butter.
Corn Slitters.
A new way of eating corn on the
cob is to slit the corn hulls while on
the cob with a small nickel "slitter,"
/says the New York Times. This cuts
five rows of the corn hulls at one time,
so that one eats the grain and leaves
the hulls on the cob, or it is used to
extract, for cooking, the milky grains
from the hulls and leaves all the hard
part on the cob as waste. The "slit?
1 ters" cost 35 cents each. When used
at table, of course there must be in
dividual provision in the number
placed.
Pineapple Sauce for Fritters.
To the syrup drained from the pine
apple slices and heated to boiliup
point, add a cup of sugar, sifted with
a level tablespoonful of cornstarch:
let boil six or eight minutes; tint
with grceu color paste or liquid if de
sired. Add the juice of half a lemon
and kirsch to taste.
Sausages.
Separate, roll in a little butter, salt
and pepper. Put in a small paper bag,
seal up and pince on broiler. Allow
20 minutes in a very hot oven.
HIS MOTHER'S HEART
WAS NOT MARBLE
Young Jack, who as usual had risen
at a disreputably early hour, rusned
into the dining room as the rest of
the family was breakfasting A rap
turous expression was on his face,
and in his arms was a tiny, nonde
script puppy, blind, and with a rest
less, inquiring nose.
"Mother! Just look! Isn't he a
beauty? A horrid old man was going
te drown him!"
A chorus of ejaculations arose.
"Aw, ain't he cute?" came from
Billy, two years younger than Jack.
"He's a fino little fellow," agreed
Jack's father. "See the way he's nos
ing at the button of your coat."
"Another dawg!" exclaimed Hulda,
as she brought in the bacon. Dut
she stopped long enough to tickle the
temptingly soft brown head that
bobbed helplessly over Jack's arm.
"Ain't he nico, mother!" inquired
Jack, anxiously, sensing something
ominous in his mother's silence.
"Charming!" said Jack's mother,
with unaccustomed satire. "What do
you propose to do with him?"
"Why-why, keep him, of course,"
said Jack. "Poor little fellow, he
ain't got no home."
";'hat's very sad," said Jack's
mother, unsympathetically. "But I
am not going to have another dog
around the place. Dogs are dirty and
noisy and full of fleas, and I loathe"
them; so you may as well make up
your mind to get rid of this little
beast."
Jack looked at his father appealing
ly.
"Don't you think, Helen-" began
Jack's father.
"No. I don't think that I'll give in
again," interrupted Jack's mother. "I
do think, however, that you have had
enough experience in adopting dogs
to last you for one summer. There
was that long-legged young St. Ber
nard the Caxtons gave you. It killed
twelve o? the Franklin chickens, if
you remember, and you had to pay
for them at market prices. I thought
when the St. Bernard was poisoned
you would have learned discretion,
but you had to bring home that pedi
greed fox terrier you said you got
at such a bargain."
"That was a good dog, though," de
clared Jack's father, "and I'd like to
get hold of the policeman who shot
him just because his license tag was
issued for a dog described as a St
Bernard."
"I had hoped that incident would
make you more careful about evading
the law," Raid Jack's mother, "but,
nevertheltoH. you kept putting o.T get
ting a license for the collie you
brought home to be a comrade to the
children until it bit the Collins child.
and the dog was shot, and you were
haled into court and tined for mt
having licensed or muzzled
beast."
"Anyway, Helen," said Jack's fath
er, "every boy ought to have a dog.
Let the kid keep it. I'll see that lt
is licensed and cared for."
"I will not have another dog around
the place," insisted Jack's mother.
At this Jack deposited his new pet
upon the floor, and ran from the room
howling. Left to himself, the puppy
sprawled unhappily on the carpet,
feeling around with that pathetically
searching nose of his. Then, as if
conscious that it was alone in a cold,
unfeeling world, it set up a plaintive
whining.
The family ate breakfast in silence
for a few minutes, and then Jack's
father stirred uneasily.
"My goodness, I can't stand that,"
he said at last. "I believe the little
beggar's hungry."
He made overtures to the pup with
a piece of bacon. The pup sniffed
tentatively at the morsel, and then
resumed its wailing with renewed
vigor. Jack's father regarded it
thoughtfully.
"Perhaps," he said, finally, "it isn't
old enough for bacon."
Something very like a giggle came
from Ja? I: .? mother's en* of the table,
but when Jack's father looked up, his
wife was coldly putting bread into
Billy's egg. Then Jack's father poured
some cream into a saucer and de
posited it under the pup's nose. The
whining continued. Very gently.
Jack's father thrust the wabbly little
black nose fairly into the saucer, but
the obstinate owner wouldn't drink,
and the whine developed to a fright
ened yelp. Jack's mother loft the
room precipitately. ,
"I'm afraid you'll really have to go.
pup," said Jack's father, stroking the
fat little brown back.
At that moment the postman's
whistle sounded at the front door,
and Jack's father went to get hi?
mail, lt was fully ten minutes before
he returned. As he entered the roon
he gasped ir? astonishment. Jack's
mother was sitting cross-!?gged on
the floor feeding the little brown
puppy with milk out of one of Billy's
discarded bottles.
Jack stood over her, beaming. When
he caught sight of his father he cried,
jubilantly: "Dad! She soys we can
keep it!"
Jack's mother looked up and had
the grace to blush under her hus
band's amused glance.
"It cried just like a baby," she
said, apologetically. Then, suddenly
she changed her tactics from the de
fensive to the offensive. "It's jur.l
like a man," she said with infinii.
