cultivation.
~The awnless brome grass, or Hungary
brome grass (bromus inermis) is a variety
that is probably suitable for sandy soils.
The grass is a perennial, in general appear-
ance like blue grass, and is adapted for
dry, light, sterile or sandy soils, and re- |
sists dry weather. About 15 pounds of |
seed are required for an acre. It spreads
by creeping und nd stems or root
stalks. It will not succeed on wet land.
—Never apply unadulterated hen drop-
pings, or any pure guano, directly on seeds
or plants; applied pure it will destroy the
rm on most plants. Properly pre
owl manure may be applied with benefit
to any crop, field or garden, broadcast or
harrowed in, but is more economically em-
ployed in the hill or drill. As good a plan
as any, probably, is to gather the amp
pings a= often as twice a week, and mix
with about twice their bulk of dry earth.
—Young celery plants should be started
as early as can be done. Sow the seeds in
rows one foot apart, and transplant when
the plants are three inches high, placing
them four inches apart. The soil for cel-
ey should be rich and rather moist. It is
said that a special liquid manure for this
crop is soapsuds, which demonstrates that
the crop delights in soda to a certain ex-
text.

=A good crop of beets will be found an
excellent adjunes to the grain and bay
feed for stock. Beets should be put in
early, although crops may be seeded in at
a later period. They give a dietary effect,
as well as being valuable for their feeding
qualities. As a table vegetable the beet is
ap ted by all. They are always in
me condition, are easily prepared, and
may be stored away for winter use direotly
from the field, or pickled in vinegar, for
immediate service when required. The
Egyptian and Blood Red are preferable
early varieties for the table, and the Man-
gel Waurzel and sugar beets are more desir-
able for stock. Sow the seed lightly, on
rich, light, well prepared soil, in rows 18
inches apart, thinning them to single
plants six inches from each other.
-~An excellent mode of planting carrot
and parsnip seed is to drop the seed in
small quantity, six inches apart in the
rows, instead of scattering the seed in the
row. By this method the plants will come
up in stools, and can be thinned out if too
thick, whereas if the seed is scattered the
plants may come up straggling, as the seed
does not germinate very easily under ad-
verse conditions. Extra plants taken from
the rows may be planted elsewhere. The
seed drills do the work well in that re-
speot.
—I¢ is estimated that a bushel of corn
will ities 14 pounds of pork and a
bushel of wheat 17 pounds. At present
good hogs bring $4.50 per 100 pounds whole
sale, which gives more than the market
price of corn and wheat, the manure bein
an important item. About 25 pounds
cornmeal will equal 100 pounds of skim
milk after the butter is sold, hence if corn- | salad

become more valuable through its use in
that direction.
—In the growing of corn I find that the
matter of seed is of very great importance,
writes a Kendall county (Ill) -
dent of the Farmers’ Review. I sometimes
buy seed to get a change and then I sow my
own for a few years. I prefer to buy any
time after January 1st, as after that time
seed cannot well be changed. If it is good
seed as that time it will stay good, and if
bad there is no way of impro it. I
test several times and make a thorongh
test in winter. The sandy loam is ready
jo plang several days earlier than the clay
oam. I prepare my ground thoroughly,
and when the soil has become warm as
about one and one-half inches deep.

A supper is so much more often served
by some member of the family than by the
maid, that is to say, those of Sunday even-
ing, or after some small entertainment, I
believe a few ons concerning these
delightfally informal meals will interest
bel a oy be gale
elp, to the y ,
Itisis or A) much of the preparation
for a Sunday supper should be dove the
day before. Viands for sandwiches or to
rechaufe or serve cold may be prepared,
jellies or frozen puddings made, cake
baked, and a supply of staple articles
as canned shrimps, deviled ham, Imported
sardines, beef tongue or anchovy, other
pastes, olives, tins of crackers, fruits such
as figs, datos, eto., salted nats, cheese, and
in fact all kinds of delicacies which may
be bought from a fancy grocer, should be
within ready reach.
The chafing dish plays an important
part at present in the dining room; it is
well to have at least two, well equipped,
also see that shey are keps in perfect order.
The chafing dish cabinets are a great con-
venience, and of course a small table, or
two, as the case Fejuizel, are very essen-
tial. These should be spread with a cloth,
usually a heavy linen is used, and a large
metal tray is placed under the chafing dish.
There are so many accessories and pretty
appointments for the chafing dish table
now and procaurable at sucha variety of
| prices, there is really no excuse for the
| hostess to deprive hersell of these genuine
comforts.
In setting the supper table one may use
either the polished sable with doilies, or a
fanoy linen cloth. The newest supper
cloths are inset with lace and also have a
lace border; or they are of the beautiful
new brocaded linen. The table should be
lighted by two single candlesticks with
pretty shades. The decorations should be
very simple, a low flower bowl or fern dish
Jiaced in the center is the conventional
ecoration, but a newer idea is to have four
very small vases containing odorless flow-
ers ; the new Watteau baskets either of
silver or glass being especially charming,
placed near the corners.
At each cover should be laid a service
plate; if bouillon, soup in caps, or frais is
used it should be placed upon the table
before the meal is announced. To the left
of the plate arrange a breakfast fork, fish
fork (if shell fish is to form a part of the
menu), and two . At the righs
place a tea knife, game knife, if small birds
are soje served, # Bouilion spoon, a a
grape fruit or other fruit spoon if required,
also a butter spreader. If bread and bus-
ter plates are used they should be placed at
the top left band side of the , and
individual salt and pepper dichese, at the
top. These little dishes either in silver
(lined with glass), or in cut glass have
replaced the salt shakers entirely on well
appointed tables. Glasses for water or
any chosen beverage should be placed at
the right of the plate, and as it is now the
custom to serve water from glass pitchers
for this weal, either a water pitcher or bot-
tle is placed on a tray with a doily ander
it on the corner of the table nearest the
hostess.
Sandwiches should be placed on the table
in a covered glass dish, and the small
breads or cakes in a cake basket. The
coffee or tea service should be placed upon
a tray, and if a chafing dish service is to be
used, this should be arranged on a side
table and placed near the place of the
hostess. Upon the serving table should be
a several sets of plates and all the
dishes which might be required in chang-
ing a course, so that it may be accomplish-
ed by the hostess with ease.
There are so many charming dishes in
which to serve relishes now, that oue cau
arrange a supper table most attractively
and at comparatively small expense.
The small silver that the housewife who
entertains occasionally should possess, con-
sists of two dozen teaspoons,one dozen des-
eert spoons, one dozen soup spoons, one
dozen table spoons, one dozen after-dinner
coffee spoons; also one dozen each of bouil-
lon, orange, and chocolate spoons. One
dozen each of dinner, dessert, oyster, and
fish forks; also berry and ice cream forks,
and cold meat forks. One dozen dining
knives (the steel bladed with ivory handles
are best), ove dozen silver tea knives, one
dozen game knives and the same number of
fruit knives and butter spreaders; also for
serving, a good carving set. In single

EMPLOYES RECEIVED PRESENTS
Philadelphia, May 19.—After hearing
much additional testimony concerning
the donations of stock to officials and
+ ap.oyes of the Pennsylvania Rallroad
by cit coal mining companies, the in-
tersiate commerce commission ad-
journed until next Wednesday, when it
will resume its sessions in this city
and proceed with its inquiry into al-
leged discrimination by the railroads
in the distribution of cars. Frank H.
Wigton, president of the Morrisdale
Coal company, appeared before the
commission and corrected his state-
ment of Thursday that his company
had received rebates from the Penn-
sylvania Railroad within a few months
previous to the retirement of General
Trafic Manager Joyce in 1903. Mr.
Wigton said that upon investigation
he found that his company had re-
ceived no rebates after 1900.
F. L. Sheppard, general superinten-
dent of the United Railways of New
Jersey, was examined as to his stock
holdings in coal companies and alleged
pier privileges given the Berwind-
White company at tidewater. F. M.
Gross, western manager of the Key-
stone Coal and Coke company, told of
men in the motive power department
of the Pennsylvania Railroad who
owned stock in the various coal com-
panies.
Charles E. Pugh, second vice presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, was
one of the witnesses. He was questiond
regarding his policy with regard to the
placing of sidings. .
R. L. O'Donnell, general superinten-
dent of the Buffalo & Allegheny Valley
division, told of having been given
blocks of stock in various coal com-
panies while he was in charge of the
car distribution department of the
Pittsburg division.
Mr. O'Donnell said he was given so
many stocks of coal companies that
he really couldn't remember them all.
One coal company alone pays him divi-
dends of $2400 a year on shares that
cost him not a cent, Another company
did as well. Others trailed along. When
the list had been gone over, it was
difficult to figure out Mr. O'Donnell’s
total income, but if it keeps up he
should soon be in the millionaire class.
Mr. O'Donnell could see nothing unu-
sual in having all these cartloads of
securities thrown at him. He thought
it was the most proper thing in the
world. Some of the stock came from
Robert Pitcairn, President Cassatt's
assistant at Pittsburg, and some from
Colonel George H. Huff and Captain
Alfred Hicks. :
The following statement was issued
by Captain John P. Green, first vice-
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
company, over his personal signature:
“The recent developments at the
hearing in progress before the inter-
state commerce commission in this
city, in respect to the acquisition and
ownership of the stocks of coal com-
panies located on its lines, by officers
and employes of the company, and the
acceptance of gratuities by its em-
ployes, are a surprise to the manage-
ment; and while it is not believed that
these have caused injustice to the pub-
lic or the company, the facts with re-
spect thereto will be thoroughly inves-
tigated, and no ownerskin or practice
calculated in any manner to affect the
full and impartial discharge of the duty
owed by the company, its officers and
employes, to the public, will be tol-
erated.”
MAY BE CRIPPLED FOR LIFE
Coach of Penn’s High Jumpers Injures
Tendon of Leg.
Philadelphia, May 22.—I. X. Baxter,
special city judge of Utica, N. Y., who
was during his college days at the
University of Pennsylvania one of the
best high jumpers in the country, in.
jured the Achilles tendon of his right
leg so seriously while making a high
jump on Franklin Field that he may
be crippled for life. He had been
asked to come to Pennsylvania to
coach the high jumpers, and gave the
athletes an exhibition in correct
jumping. Although not in condition,
he cleared the bar at 5 feet 10 inches,
and in landing he either snapped or
badly strained the tendon. Physicians
at the University hospital believe he
is permanently lamed.
