THE FARMER FEEDS THEM ALL
Tur 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 ocean wide,
But this or that, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.
The writer thinks, the poet sings,
Thz craftsmen fashion 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 through 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,
But 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 be light,
His cattle and corn and all go right.
God bless the seeds his hands let fall,
For the farmer he must feed them all.
—Successful Farming.

JEFFERSON'S TEN MAXIMS
1. NEVER put off till to-morrow, what
you can do to-day.
2. Never trouble another for what you
can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you
have it.
4. Never buy what you do not want
because it is cheap; it will be dear to you.
5. Pride costs us more than hunger,
thirst, and cold.
6. We never repent of having eaten
too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do
willingly.
8. How much pain have the evils which
have never happened cost us.
9. Take things always by their smooth
handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you
speak ; if very angry, a hundred.

LirrLe self-denials, little honesties, lit-
tle passing words of sympathy, little
nameless acts of kindness, little victories
over favorite temptations — these are the
small threads of gold which, when
woven together, gleam out so brightly in
the pattern of life that God approves.—
Canon Farrar.

SOME GOOD AND TRIED RECIPES
Banana Fluff.
A DAINTY summer dessert, requiring
no freezing and no cooking, unless for a
sauce to accompany it, is banana fluft.
To make it, sprinkle two fine bananas
with a few drops of lemon juice and a
little light fruit juice, and set on ice to
chill. When ready to make the dessert,
mash them smooth, sprinkling with one
half cupful of powdered sugar, and over
them break the white of two eggs, and
beat all together with the egg beater.
Choose a large deep bowl, as the mixture
increases surprisingly in bulk, and beat
until light and fluffy, or until the pud-
ding will hold its shape when the beater
is removed. Return to the ice box and
serve very cold with a sauce of fruit
juices.
The sauce usually served with this
pudding is a thin custard made of the
volk of the eggs, milk, and sugar, with
This may be
made in the morning or at any time when
the fire is needed, and will cook readily
in a basin set in the top of a boiling tea-
kettle. Serve all ice cold.
The quantity given will serve four
persons, and is delicious enough to insure
a second trial if but given the first.
Save Your Apple Parings.
I made the discovery that it pays to
save your apple parings, and keep them
in a cool place until you have a quantity
worth the while. When you are paring
the apples, be sure to discard all im-
perfections in the skins and cores. When
vou are prepared to cook them, cover
with water, and boil briskly for an hour,
strain, add half the quantity of sugar that
there is of the juice, and boil gently for
a couple of hours, and a good apple
jelly will be the result, and with much
less work than the ordinary way. of mak-
ing jelly. If the juice of one or two lem-
ons is added, you will have a firmer jelly.
Still the apple parings are enough to in-
sure good, rich, firm jelly.
The juice of lemons added to any kind
of jelly will always help to make it
firmer and richer. M. H. T.
