From Day to Day. 
THE FARMER FEEDS THEM ALL. 
The king may rule o'er land and sea, 
The lord may live right royally, 
The soldier ride in pomp and pride. 
The sailor roam o'er the ocean wide. 
But this or that, wliate'er befall, 
The farmer he must feed them all. 
The writer thinks, the poet sings, 
The craftsman fashions wondrous things; 
The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads, 
The miner follows the precious leads: 
But this or that, whate'er befall, 
The farmer he must feed them all. 
The merchant he may buy and sell. 
The teacher do his duty well; 
But men may toil through busy days, 
Or men may stroll their pleasant ways; 
From king to beggar, whate’er befall. 
The farmer he must feed them all. 
The farmer’s trade is one of worth; 
He's partner with the sky and earth; 
He’s partner with the sun and rain; 
And no man loses for his gain; 
And men may rise and men may fall, 
The farmer he must feed them all. 
God bless the man who sows the wheat, , 
Who finds us milk and fruit and meat; 
May his purse be heavy, his heart lie light, 
His cattle and corn and all go right; 
God bless the seeds his hands let fall. 
For the farmer he must feed us all. 
redit Iiost. 
An example of the crowding in some 
. parts of this city was brought out in a 
recent trial before a city magistrate 
where one of the witnesses was an Italian. 
Examination revealed the fact that he and 
his wife had six children and that the 
whole family lived in two rooms. 
“And what do you do for a living?” 
asked the examining lawyer. 
“We taka da boarders,” he responded 
cheerfully.

Dr. John Watson, better known as Ian 
Maclaren, the English author, died May 
6 at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, after a pro¬ 
tracted illness. He was traveling in this 
country on a lecture tour. It was in 1894 
that Dr. Watson began to tell about 
Drumtochty in “Beside the Bonnie Brier 
Bush,” which was an immediate success; 
it was not copyrighted in this country, 
and thousands of pirated copies were sold. 
Since then he has written a number of 
Scottish stories, as well as books on re¬ 
ligious topics. He was born in England 
in 1850, but was of Scotch blood, and be¬ 
gan his clerical career in Scotland. His 
clean and wholesome books, with their 
kindly humor and sympathetic insight in¬ 
to humble lives, have given pleasure to 
thousands, and will long keep his mem¬ 
ory green.

| Here is a receipt for “Holland Home” 
sausage, given by a correspondent of the 
Chicago Record-Herald. Grind, mix and 
season the meat as desired. But instead 
of stuffing “cases,” pack in half gallon 
stone jars (butter jars). Bake four hours 
in a moderately hot oven. Remove from 
the oven and press with a heavy weight 
twelve hours—over night usually. Then 
remove the weight. There will be some 
fat, but not enough to cover it. Heat 
| lard to the boiling point and pour over 
' enough to cover. Tlijs seals—excludes 
the air. Keep in a cool place. Beef or 
pork may be kept in this way indefinitely. 
Late in the hot Summer months it is pos¬ 
sible to serve meat thus prepared in 
March. The meat then has that fine, 
sweet, fresh meat flavor that one never 
gets in town slaughtered animals.

1 Lemon jelly cake, which is extra good, 
is best when fresh, and should be eaten 
the day it is made. 'Cream half a cup of 
; butter with two teacups of sugar. Add 
the yolks of two eggs. Beat all until very 
light. Add half a cup of milk, and stir 
in two teacups of flour that have been 
sifted with a teaspoonful of cream of tar¬ 
tar and half as much soda. It is better to 
of moderate fulness and are tucked at 
their lower edges where they are finished 
with straight bands. The skirt is straight 
and also is tucked flat over the hips. 1 he 
quantity of material required for the 
sift the flour several times with the cream 
of tartar and soda. Fold in the whites of 
the eggs, stiffly beaten. Butter four tin 
plates, pour the batter into them, and 
bake the cake about twenty minutes. 
Cream—a teacupful—may be used instead 
of butter and milk. The filling calls for a 
cup of sugar, the grated rind of one lem¬ 
on, the juice of one and a half lemons, 
two eggs and two tablespoonfuls of water. 
After beating the eggs well put all the in¬ 
gredients together on the stove in a porce¬ 
lain lined pan. Cook them, stirring fre¬ 
quently, for seven minutes over a slow 
fire. Then take the mixture from the 
stove and put it where it will cool. When 
cold spread it over three of the cakes. 
Put one on top of another, and over 
them place the remaining fourth, which 
should be iced with a white icing flavored 
with lemon.

When a person of country “raising” 
first moves into a big city apartment house 
it is something of a shock to find that 
there are no neighbors, in the country 
sense of the word. They are just the peo¬ 
ple who live above and below and around 
one—nothing more. Let the woman who 
thinks the country lonesome imagine her 
days spent in one of those flats that 
merely give a view of roofs and water 
tanks, with perhaps a little patch of sky; 
hurrying feet all about, but none to 
“neighbor” with. The only birds are the 
pugnacious city sparrows, who seem no 
more like real country birds than the Park 
Row gamin resembles a wholesome farm 
child; the poor trees shed their leaves 
early, or make abortive efforts to bloom 
twice a year, as though they didn’t know 
how a real out-of-doors tree should be¬ 
have. There is a vast difference between 
the loneliness of Mother Nature, and the 
city isolation that surrounds us with an 
ocean of unseeing or unfriendly faces. If 
your lot is cast in the quiet country, it 
is well to remember that, after all, loneli¬ 
ness is a purely relative term; an isolated 
home may be full of love and kindness, 
while the thickly populated city is to 
many a hungry soul a solitude. 
Canned Apples. 
This coming Fall put down plenty of 
apples in the bins. Then as the fruit 
jars are emptied through the Winter, refill 
them with stewed apples. Pare, quarter 
and remove the seeds, and cook quickly 
till tender, using very little water, but 
keeping tightly covered. Use no sugar. 
Can as in ordinary way. Then in Spring 
(when the bins are empty) add a little 
water, sugar and scrap of dried orange 
peel, and cook till the sugar is dissolved, 
grate nutmeg over it and an expert can 
hardly tell it from fresh sauce.

the frock completely, and it will also be
