Balancing Ration.

When one has corn, corn fodder, ensilage and clover hay, It is considered the best practice for one to procure a food rich in protein, such as bran, cotton-seed meal or linseed meal in the proportion of 6 parts bran. 8 parts cornmeal, 2 parts cot-ton-seed meal, and feeds 10 pounds of the mixture each day, with 30 pounds of ensilage and 10 pounds of clover hay, he will get very good results. Molasses is ordinarily fed by sprinkling over the hay or ensilage.—Country Gentleman.

Don't Pasture Too Early.

There is always a temptation to tom the stock on pasture before the grass has had a chance to get a start JU this time the animals will get lit* tie good from the pasture, and they are likely to do much damage in trampling the wet soil. Let the ground get solid and the grass a good start before they go on it

Dirty Troughs a Danger.

DM It ever occur to you that dirty, foul-smelling troughs are the source of many disorders among the animals using them! Cold fan rains will prove a sure robber of the sheep profits. If the animals are given no shelter. Typewriter ribbons for all makes of machines for sale at The Republican office

The Right Cooking.

It is the hardening of the nitrogenous substances in meat which makes cooked meat not as digestible as raw. For this reason, overcooked meat, warmed-over meat, and such dishes as hash and croquettes are not as easily digested as freshly cooked meat. A choice piece of steak may be made tough and difficult of digestion by frying it in a pan of hot greese, while a tough piece of brisket may be made tender and palatable by slow cooking, and without greatly reducing its value. Meat for soup and beef tea should, of course, be put down in cold water, because in this case the juices and flavoring matter are to be drawn out Corned and smoked beef should also be put down in cold water. These principles apply to all meats and not to beef alone.

Bean Curry.

Soak and parboil one pint of small, white beans and put them into a twoquart bean pot. Fry in batter four large oniops. and when well browned add a tablespoonful* of salt, the same amount of curjy powder, half a teaspoonful of dry mustard, a little cayenne pepper and one pint of water; pour over the beans, fill the pot with boiling water and bake for at least ten hours in a moderate oven, replenishing the water if the beans become dry. When done the beans should have a nice, thick, piquant gravy about them.—P. Q. A.

Has a Romantic Plot.

This is what the Chicago RecordHerald says of our new serial story, “The Lapse of Enoch Wentworth": “This gripping story of a strange poker game, a stranger bond between two men, a stolen drama and the double regeneration out of which springs unexpected happiness for the wronged sinner, Is not the best kind of a story to take up late in the evening, but ft Is s Jolty good tale by aid of which to shake off ‘the blues.' It reads rather like a play itself, being full of action, and abounds In dramatic situations and human Interest." ' T j Order a rubber stamp today from The Republican. .

Mr. Indiana Taxpayer How Do You Like This?

Indianapolis, Ind., July 2. The total expenses of the government of the State of Indiana during 1908, the last year of the last Ikepublican administration, was $4,724,253.39. In 1913, under a Democratic administration of the state’s affairs, the total expense was $4,966,168.37, an increase of $241,914.98. is one of the reasons why the Democratic state legislature of 1913 saw fit to raise the state tax levy. Here are some figures from the official state records that show very plainly that the taxpayers of Indiana are paying dearly for, the Democratic brand of state government. In 1908, during the last year of the last Republican state administration, the salaries and expenses of all regular standing boards and commissions totalled $242,558.02. In 1913, under Democratic rule, the salaries and commissions of all regular standing boards and commissions totalled $428,521.60, an increase of $185,963.58, or -76.6 per cent. Why should the taxpayers of Indiana pay $185,963.58 more in salaries and expenses for standing boards and' commissions in one year under a Democratic administration than was paid during the same length of time tinder • a Republican administration?' 1. This is another one of the big reasons why your taxes are so high. Why should the legislative session of 1907, under a Republican administration cost but $130,000 while the session of 1913 under a Democratic 'administration, cost the taxpayers $162,000? Both the sessions were 60 days in length and there were the same number of members in both nouses in the session of 1907 as there were in the session of 1913. The truth of the matter is that most of the increase in the eost of the Democratic session went to doorkeepers and clerks who were not needed employes whose hardest work was to draw their salaries. There were men on the payroll of the last state legislature at straight salary for the full session who did not average one day in Indianapolis each week during the session. A vote for the Democratic state ticket this year will be interpreted by tns. democratic politicians as an approval of this reckless expenditure of i the taxpayers money.

Fry' a half teaspoonful of minced on* ion in a tablespoonful of butter in your frying pan. Stir into this a tablespoonful of flour and pour upon it a cupful of soup stock of gravy. Stir untilthis blends with the butter and flour in a smooth sauce. Have ready three or four eggs which you have previously boiled hard, and cut into quarters or into thick slices. Lay them in the gravy until they are heated, sprinkle with pepper and salt and serve with or without toast or crackers.

Truss a -chicken for boiling and put it into a saucepan with half a pound of parboiled rice, a few peppercorns, a little salt and enough water to cover well the fowl and rice. Let it simmer gently over a slow fire for three-quar-ters of an hour. When cooked, remove to a hot dish; add to the rice some pepper, salt, a gill of cream, a pinch of nutmeg and a half ounce of butter. Make the mixture very hot, stirring gently for five minutes, pour the sauce round the fowl, and serve with fried potato chips.

A mixture of equal parts of salad oil and vinegar is the best thing for the purpose. If very dirty, wash first with soap and water. Soda is bad for linoleum, but soap or grease improves the wearing qualities.-
