An easy way to skin a beet without bleeding it and causing It to lose color Is to put It in cold water as soon as It Is cooked. Then draw the hand gently down each one and the skin will drop off without trouble. To "Try" a Cake. One of the beBt plans for ascertaining whether a cake has been cooked enough Is to very lightly Insert In the center one of the common wooden skewers that butchers use for meats. If this comes out clean and dry the cake Is done; If the skewer Is sticky, the cake needs a little more cooking. This is a much better test than the common one of Inserting a broom straw, as the latter Is so small it is not always easy to judge properly of Its condition. A Wooden Spoon for Stirring. When cooking milk or soups of any kind always use a wooden spoon for stirring. Never take a tin spoon for this purpose, especially If the soup contains any acid like tomatoes, as this unites with the tin and forms a poisonous compound. Apple Pudding.

The growing of clover and alfalfa seed In the northwest promises well and In several sections where It has been tried the yields of seed have been good and the quality of the very best, says Dakota Farmer. In many of tho eastern states where clover Is grown extensively for hay and as a fertilizing crop, It seeds very sparingly and seed Is shipped in each spring from other sections. Where clover seeds well It la a highly profitable crop as the price Is nearly always high. The seeding season in the Is usually conductive to good filling and It Is believed by many that In time a large amount of seed will bo produced within our borders for sale In eastern states. Practically all alfalfa seed Is produced In semi-arisections cither with or without Irrigation. Many are coming to think that alfalfa seed grown without Irrigation Is superior for seed especially where It Is to be sown under natural conditions. The nearer home that seed Is grown the better it usually is. Plants become acclimated to certain sections as does stock and any great change of environment Jesuits In decreased vigor and yields. Appreciating as we do the immense value of the legumes to any system of permanent agriculture, every effort to grow them as forage and for seed as well should be inadn. Fifth Dry Farm Congren to Be Held on October 3, 4, S and 6 Teaching of Agriculture In Schools Urged. At a meeting of the board of governors of the Dry Farming congress, held at Spokane, Wash., pctober 3. 4, 5 and 6, 1910, were the dates selected for the fifth Dry Farming Congress and International Dry Funning eiposltlon at Spokane. Prof. R. W Thatcher, agronomist of Washington Agricultural college, Pullman. Wash., was made member of the executive committee and board of governors, vice H. L. Moody of Spokane, resigned. D. T. Ham, of the Spokane Chumber of Commerce, was elected chairman of the Spokane board of control of the fifth Dry Farming congress. Dy virtue of this position, Mr. Ham also Is a member of tho board of governors. John T. Hums, secretary of tho congress, was elected secretary of the board of control. The board of governors authorized the secretary to visit Washington, and Mr. Hums left Denver to carry out the Instructions of the governors. The secretary will study the organizations of the bureaus of the various departments of the federal government, especially those of state and agriculture, with the view to developing a system of bureaus for carrying out more effectively the work of the Dry Farming congress. He will Interview Secretary Balllnger of the interior and Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department, and Fred Denett, commissioner of the general land office, for the purpose of for regular inmaking terchange of information between those offices and the Dry Farming con-gre- jr..t ALFALFA GROWN ON DRY LAND Advantages In Growing This Crop on Soils Particularly Adapted to Its Culture. Many The growing of alfalfa on arid land has proved a decided success for at least 20 years but some kinds of soli are not so well adapted to this great forage plant as others. As a rule a Mr. Burns also will Interview the sandy loam Is the best but it will also senators and representatives from thrive well on our bench land and western states and endeavor to enlist foothills where there Is a clay subtheir Interest In increased appropria- soil. As a rule alfalfa will not do s. j well on heavy, gurubo-claf- , soil without Irrigation. In growing alfalfa one planting Is good for a period of ten years. In ordinary seasons and on common land two tons of hay can be cut from an acre. AH farmers know how much It costs to put up hay. The second crop will bring from three to five bushels of seed to the acre which sells as a rule for $7 or $S a bushel. Then there is the chaff from which the seed Is threshed, which is also worth something. The expenses of harvesting and threshing the alfalfa seed crop are hardly one-hal- f that of a wheat crop. In growing wheat the land has to be plowed, harrowed and planted for every crop nd to be successful the land should be cropped only every other year. Thirty to 35 bushels an acre Is a very good yield for summer fallowed dry land. The about 75 price of wheat averages cents a bus'iel for a period of flf& years. It will be seen from these figures that the growing of alfalfa Is the most desirable crop for dry land where It can be grown successfully. What Is Golnrf On at the National Capital. "Teddy" Absent, Capital Men Drink Tea 13 Da-kot- vice-preside- tions for experimental and demonstration farms, especially in the dry farming states. The board of governors decided that a practical handbook of dry farming should be prepared and published as soon as possible. In the preparation of this book, the secretary will secure the collaboration of eminent masters of the various branches of agricultural science, so that each subject will be presented by an accepted authority in that particular phase of husbandry. The proposed book will be Illustrated with maps, drawings and half-ton- e reproductions of photographs. It is the purpose of the governors to make this book as complete as a text book on dry farming can be made with the data now obtainable. Work on the preparation of this volume will be started at once and It Is expected that It will be issued early during the coming summer. Recognizing the importance of and urgent need for education along agricultural lines in the public schools, the board of governors authorized an Immediate campaign of publicity in behalf of the introduction of text books on farming in the public schools up to and including the tenth grade. In the campaign, which will be carried on until the purpose of the Dry Farming congress has been achieved and practical agriculture Is taught in every school in the land, emphasis will be plaeeu upon the necessity of adapting the text books to the conditions in the various sections of the country. It will be recommended that those books nhlch are used In the far eastern states should cover general agriculture, witn enough about dry farming to give the pupil a correct idea of this phase of th" subject, while the books for the western schools should give to dry more extended consideration farming, as a subject of paramount Interest in the west. The meeting nt which this important nction was taken was attended by President Mondell, Chairman Alfred Atkinson of Montann, Anders L. Mordt of Oklahoma, George Harcourt of Alberta. U. W.

Gossip of Washington 5 After a WASHINGTON. the Roosevelt administration men are again giving teas, because President Taft does not consider tea drinking mollycoddlsh. During the last year of the Roosevelt administration men at teas were seven-yea- r very scarce. Even the diplomats who were careless of Roosevelt's vigorously expressed views (which often they did not understand) finally yielded to the influence that eventually caused but a handful of them to be present Teas In the afternoon practically were wiped off the social slate. Now this Is all changed. Even the United States army Is becoming hobt at teas, and Capt. Sherwood A. Cheney gave a tea recently to Miss Roosevelt, daughter of the man who believed that an officer who would be host at a tea was no soldier. The officers at Fort Myer and the Marine barracks expect soon to give teas. That tea of Capt Cheney was the third big tea of the season, although the first to be given by an American. Two other large affairs were presided over, one by the secretaries of the German embassy on the occasion of the Emperor William's birthday and the other by the Marquis de Villalobar, the Spanish minister, who took advantage of the occasion to receive "who is who" in Washington by way of official Introduction, although his transfer to Lisbon bad been gazetted by his government three weeks "Uncle Joe" Was Forced to Sit Down it k NEW story on Uncle Joe' that I am told never was printed was related to me by former Gov.

Hreakfast usually occurs at an hour when men are already busy with their affairs, while the dinner Is looked upon as too ponderous. With the beginning of the Easter season the president and Mrs. Taft will again Inaugurate their lawn parties, which Is a different name for afternoon teas. Meanwhile, Lent Is in the propitious season for such informal entertainments, especially of aa afternoon. Washington men would now be giving more teas If they lived in quarters suitable for such affairs. The one hotel in Washington that is actually giving a tea hour does not appeal to the smartest Teas at the Chevy Chase club, at the Country club and similar placee are also considered disadvantageous. FirBt, the distance Is too great, and attendance at them and the return home to change for dinner requires much time. Hostesses in the capital do not deny that teas without men are very Insipid. With the presidential approval of this revival of afternoon teas In fact, with the desire of Mr. Taft to see hit assistants and the naval and military officers sparkle a little more In the social firmament there is no question that the tea will become within the next twelvemonth the most satisfactory and popular social function. They are also comparatively inexpensive, and for this reason many men who cannot afford to give large parties of formal character will have an oppor. tunity to entertain.

Cox paused for a moment and . said: "'I will yield to the gentleman from Illinois for a question on ona condition.
