TOP DRESSING TALKS
No. 1
ARCADIAN
DRIED AND OROUNO
Ammonia
W E want to talk with you a little once in n
while about Top Dressing. These talks will
appear in successive issues of this journal, and we
hope that they will arouse your interest and per
haps afford you some valuable information.
Putting on a fertilizer as a top dressing is quite
customary in the South, but it is by ho means so
widely practised as it should be. Yet truck crops
and fall grains on all soils, and general .crops on
sandy soils actually demand some quick-acting
nitrogenous fertilization in the Spring. The only
difficulty has been the lack of a nitrogenous ma
terial that was easy and economical to apply.
This want has now been supplied by ARCA
DIAN Sulphate of Ammonia.
ARC ADI AN Sulphate of Ammonia is the well-
known standard article that has done you good
service in your mixed fertilizers for years past,
especially kiln dried and ground to put it in
splendid mechanical condition. Ammonia 25
1-4 per cent guaranteed. In bags of 100 and 200
lbs. Ask your dealer.

GENUINE PRESCRIPTION
FOR ALL RHEUMATISM
Pain Disappears and Swelling Van
ishes In a Few Days.
Rheuma—that is the name of the
scientific prescription that is putting
rheumatism out of business.
Rheuma cures by driving the uric
acid from the blood. It also acts di
rectly on the kidneys and is better for
them than most so-called kidney
cures.
Says Samuel Powell of Geneva, Kyi:
* 1 For several’years I was such a suf
ferer from rheumatism I could not
straighten ont my right arm or leg.
After taking one bottle of Rheuma
my limbs are supple and free from
pain."
Gratifying relief comes in a day, be
cause Rheuma acts at one time on the
kidneys, stomach, liver and blood. 50

Many Reasons Why Room Should Be
the Cleanest, Sunniest and Most
Cheerful In the House—Color
Schema Means Much.
One wonders at the housekeepers
who choose for -their kitchen walls
and woodwork a dingy gray or brown
or some other dark, doll color that
will not show the dirt. Are they bet
ter housekeepers because the dirt,
which is surely there, does not show?
Would these same women wear black
dresses and aprons when doing the
cooking and feel that they were clean
because they did not look soiled?
The kitchen should be the cleanest,
sunniest, and most cheerful room in
the house. It is here the housekeeper
spends most of her time, and it 1b
here the food Is prepared and often
served.
It is not always possible to have
the kitchen located so as to get the
best light, but a dark room may be
much improved bv using the proper
color. In a Minnesota town the
school kitchen had windows on the
east side only. Halt of them were on
a court and the others against a hill;
but by the use of a deep cream tint
on the ceiling, a buff for the wallfi,
and woodwork of southern pine fin
ished in the natural color and
varnished, the effect of sunlight was
given even on the dull, short days
of the northern winter.
If there is much sunshine in the
kitchen white or blue may be used;
but on the north side of the house use
buff or warm, yellowish tan. The
increased cheerfulness and better
spirits of the housekeeper will mean
much to the entire family, and her
work will not be increased by the new
color scheme because a sunny, pleas
ant workshop lightens every task.—
Mary L. Oberlln, Colorado Agricultu
ral college, Fort Collins, Colo.

PROPER WAY TO MAKE BED
Seems a Simple Proceeding, but There
Are Some Methods Preferable
to Others.
To make up a bed so that it will be
smooth, tuck the clothes in, one piece
at a time, at the sides, and complete
the work all hut tucking the clothes
in at the foot. Now draw the clothes
down, one piece at a time, as taut as
possible, and tuck them in at the foot.
The bed will be far neater looking then
would be otherwise' possible. If the
bed is of iron or brass, which does not
permit of tucking in the coverlet, tuck
in the other clothes as directed, plac
ing the coverlet over all.
A new way to make beds is as fol
lows: Sew two short, loops on one
end of each covering, these loops be
ing the distance apart of the width
of the bed and equally distant from the
corners of the coverings. Then take
a brass rod cut just as long as the bed
is wide, aud cover It with a thin pad
ding of cotton and some durable ma
terial. This rod is run through the
loops of the bed coverings and tucked
in at the foot of the bed.
When the bed is put to air, the bed
clothes may be readily thrown back
without becoming separated. Thisde-
vice is especially adapted for chil
dren’s beds, or is good to use when
there is illness In the home.
Colcannon.
Boil separately equal weights of
young cabbage, savory or spinach and
potatoes. Chop the greens, wash the
potatoes, mix them well together with
a little pepper and salt and one ounce
of butter to one one pound of the
mixture over the fire for a few min
utes, stirring it all the time, then
press it into a hot, well-buttered mold.
Turn out and serve, or press, after
mixing, into a well-buttered irold and
put it into the oven for half sin hour.
Any cold vegetables may be warmed
up in this Way.
French Soup Without Meat.
Take a large lump of butter, a ta
blespoonful of flour and brown them
in the saucepan you mean to make the
soup in. Cut up carrots, celery, pota
toes, onions and a little cabbage if you
like, very fine together, put them all
in the saucepan with pepper and salt
Pour boiling water over them and let
them simmer from three to four hours.
It cannot simmer too much. A pinch
of thyme, parsley, cress and mint is
a great improvement
Many Ways That Will Appeal to the
Housewife Who Prides Herself on
Her Table—Making Desserts
Attractive.
Now we turn to the serving of left
over cold sweets, says the Ndw York
Evening Telegram. Only too often the
housewife flops last night’s pudding on
to the table in Its tin, offending the
appetites of evoryone present with the
sight of it. The same pudding, dished
in the kitchen with whipped cream
added to each plate, seems quite differ
ent to the fastidious eye.
When re-serving such cold sweets as
jelly or prune mold, etc., cut them up
into cubes and dish them in custard
cups with a little whipped cream on
the top of each, if you can afford it
Do not send half of yesterday’s cold
prune whip, with the remains of some
cream that was poured over it, to the
table in such a dilapidated condition.
Again, if you have half a cold tart or
fruit pie place the fruit in a glass dish
and cut the pastry into neat wedges
and arrange them on top.
Perhaps you have some stewed
prunes and a few tinned or freshly
stewed apricots left from other dishes.
Do not throw them into a glass Ash
in any which way, but pile the apri
cots In the center and make a border
of the prunes.
When you serve fritters do not cast
them flat on the dish aud let remnants
of the frying grease make unappetis
ing trails around about them. Drain
them first thoroughly, pile in the cen
ter of the dish and shake powdered
sugar over them. A paper doily in
the center of the dish adds to the at
tractiveness of its appearance.
When you have an extra quarter or
so to spare sometime, buy some an
gelica, pistachio nuts and some pre
served cherrieB. Keep them in tins
and use them sparingly and you will
find that they will go a long way in
making any number of desserts more
attractive to look upon. For example,
your husband may eye with Scorn a
plain tapioca pudding, but a tapioca
cream, consisting of tapioca thorough
ly cooked in milk with sugar and va
nilla, spread in a glass bowl with
just enough cream to cover it and
half a cherry and four little leaves of
angelica as a center ornament, will be
greeted with a friendly welcome. Yet
the latter will only cost you four or
five cents more than the former. .
Mock Turkey.
Take off the outer skin of a. leg of
pork and remove the bone and fill the
cavity with a dressing like that for
turkey. - Roll out pie crust and en
velop the pork in it, like an apple in
a dumpling. Set in an pven (not too
hot) and bake. Before serving cut
away all the crust aud a savory roast
is the result, with all the juice Intact,
it is white and tender and tastes very
much like a well-cooked turkey.
Quince Pie.
Peel, slice and stew six quinces un
til soft Press through a sieve, add
to them one pint of milk and four
well-beaten eggs and sweeten to taste.
Bake m a bottom crust three-quarters
of an hour in a moderate oven.
Tomato Carolina.
Butter a baking dish, and in the
bottom place a layer of cooked rice,
then a layer of sliced and peeled to
matoes and small raw onions or large
onions cut in quarters. Put in a few
lumps of butter—or dripping, which is
just as good and much cheaper—sea
son highly with celery salt, paprika
and ordinary dairy salt; then place
another layer gf rice on top, «>ntinu-
ing with tomatoes* an3 onions until
the dish’is full. Now take a cupful of
fresh or canned. tomato juice, which
ever you prefer, and pour over the
dish. Sprinkle the top with grated
cheese and bake in a moderate oven
for half or three-quarters of an hour.
If the dish is very large it takes an
hoar to bake it. It can hardly be
cooked too much, and is not good un
derdone.
Boiled Rice Pudding.
Wash a large cupful of rice through
several waters, and mix with it half
a teaspoonful of salt and halt a cup
ful of seeded raisins. Tie In a but
tered cloth, allowing plenty of room
for the rice to swell; boll rapidly for
two hours. Remove tbe cloth and
turn the ball of rice out on to a hot
dish. Make a depression in the top
and drop a piece of butter into it.
Serve with grated nutmeg, butter and
sugar.
The Bread of Life.
To four ounces of rice add a little
sifted flour, four ounces of sugar and
the well-beaten whites of seven eggs.
Mix well with a little milk; turn into
a. well-buttered earthen dish, but do
not heap up. Bake a golden brown.
Tongue Roast.
Mince remnants of boiled tongue
very fine, mix with cream or milk and
simmer slowly. Add the beaten yolk
of one egg and stir until egg is cooked.
Have ready buttered toast and spread
meat over it. If you like it, a little
grated cheese can be sprinkled over
it, if not the bread can be placed on
tbe stove until the meat browns slight
ly. Ham toast can be made in the
same way of the lean remnants of
ham. It is nice for breakfast
Egg Sauce.
Egg sauce made in this way is de
licious. Beat the whites of three eggs
stiff. Beat the yolks until creamy
and Bweeten with three tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar. J*»st before
serving fold in the stiff whites and
serve immediately..
To Clean a Carpet Sweeper.
Remove the brush and after rubbing
off all the hairs and lint, rub well with
kerosene. Let the brush stand in the
air until all the odor has evaporated.
The sweeper will do much better work
after this treatment.
Whipped Cream Pie.
Bake three crusts on separate pie
plates; put together with whipped
cream and sprinkle with powdered
sugar; do not let it stand before serv
ing or the pastry will soften.
Better Cookies.
Sheets of Russia iron cut to fit the
oven are very convenient for baking
cookies as well as giving a better
condition by rubbing lightly with
paraffin, rather than greasing with but
’ ' vj ’ard.
