American Silo in Holland. The first American ensilage tower in Holland, which was erected last year on the Johannahoeve farm at Oosterbeek by the Institute for Agricultural Improvements, has given such good results that two pther towers are now to be built on the same farm, which will provide sufficient ensilage maize to keep the entire farm stock during next winter. The head of the Johannahoeve project asserts that the American method Is preferable te hitherto In use there. An excellent fodder for all kinds of animals is thus produced, he says, while the losses by fermentation are considerably less. He comes to the conclusion that as many as 44 cows can be maintained on 37 acres by the new method, and that with ex'* elusive stable feeding they might even be maintained on about 22% acres, only an albuminous fodder needing to be added in the winter.

IDAHO NATIOWAL PARK

IDAHO NATIONAL PARK, “the Switzerland of America,” is shortly to take its place aB one of the greatest natural show places on the western half of the continent. This wonderland of mountains, lakes, streams and forests in the heart of Idaho is to be set apart and dedicated for all time as a pleasure ground for the people of the whole country. It is to bo added as an additional jewel to that strand that reaches from Colorado to the Pacific coast, writes M. F. Cunninghdm in the Utica Globe. All America is interested in this for the reason that all the great parks of the West, including the Rocky mountain in Colorado, the Yellowstone in Wyoming and Idaho, the Idaho in the Sawtooth mountains in Idaho, the Glacier in Montana, the Yosemite in California, the Grand Canyon in Arizona and others of lesser note are to be connected by a system of fine automobile highways. Good roads and trails are to be constructed in the parks and good hotel and camping facilities are to be provided for all tourists. There are no large glaciers in the Sawtooth mountains, but aside from this there is no scenery in America more beautiful, wild and varied. It beggars description. Senator Borah, after a hurried tour of the park last summer while home on his vacation, said:

“Force seems to sit incarnate here and one feels, somehow or other, that he is not far from the breeding ground of hurricane and storm.” Geographer Marshall’s Tribute. Mr. Marshall, the chief geographer, was equally impressed after making his tour of Inspection in October. In the course of his report he said: "This section of the Sawtooth range is unusually striking in mountain sculpture and is a brilliant composite example of the characteristics of three of the main mountain ranges in the United States. The southern portion strongly resembles the Rocky mountains in Colorado; the middle section is a counterpart of the Sierras in California, and the northern end Is a rugged brother of the Cascade range in Washington. The lakes are rare }n their brilliant transparency, reflecting the mountains and the black pine fringing their edges, making most inviting places for campers and tourists to rest and enjoy nature in all her glory/’ The fountains in this section are bold, jagged and precipitous. From a distance the range gives the Impression of a great inverted crosscut saw, hence the name. Mount Hyndman, the highest peak in Idaho, 12,078 feet, is found here within easy reach of the end of the railroad at Ketchum. The wild and grotesque mountain scenery on all sides leads all travelers to compare the country with the Alps in Switzerland. \ —l Three rivers of inestimable value for irrigation in the valleys far below have their common source in the mountains of the proposed park. They are the Salmon, the Boise and the Payette. These streams, together with a number of smaller ones, swarm with trout and other game fish. This is equally true of the lakes, some sixty in number, The redfish, found in but few places on the continent, is common here. It has given Its name to the largest of the lakes. . / Streams Full of Salmon. David Starr Jordan, speaking for the United States fish commission in a recent report, tells how the Chinook and Colorado river salmon ascend the Btreams, shooting the rapids and leaping the falls, untll-they reach their favorite spawning beds in the headwaters of the Salmon river in the Sawtooth mountains of Idaho, more than

1,000 miles from the sea. Professor Jordan lays special stress on the value of these ice-cold mountain streams to the salmon industry of the nation. Among the wild animals to be found in this section are the mountain sheep and goat, elk, moose, antelope, deer and bear, including the silvertip, the cinnamon, the brown and the grizzly. The preservation of the fish, birds and animals is one of the considerations leading to the creation of Idaho national park.. Much of the land to be included In this new national park is now included in forest reserves. Forest rangers have already done much in the way of constructing roads and trails. They have their stations well scattered throughout the territory with telephones here and there, so that the tourist, even when completely swallowed up in this wilderness, is never far out of reach of civilization. All western states are just now putting forth tremendous exertions in the way of building good roads. The automobile tourist has come to be an important factor in the development of the country. Idaho is not behind her sister states of the West in this matter. Good work has already been done on an automobile road to connect Yellowstone park with Idaho national park, and on another scenic highway leading from the Idaho national park into Boise, the capital of the state. This last link Is to be 75 miles in length, much of the way along the Boise river. - Another road is under construction from the park down the Payette river and. through the Boise basin, from which it is claimed $300,000,000 In placer gold was taken in the early ’6os when the nation was in the throes of Civil war. In the construction of these roads in Idaho the federal government, the state through its highway commission, the counties and numerous highway districts are co-operating. The state is also working its convicts on state highways with excellent results.

FINGERNAILS DENOTE HABITS

Owner Either Is a Sloven or Is a Very Hard Worker. Although the eyes may be the windows of the soul, the fingernails constitute the front porch, and when one enters a neighbor’s home he generally pays more attention to the porch than he does to the windows, during his brief wait upon the threshold, says the Omaha World-Herald. Dirty fingernails indicate qne of two conditions—that the wearer Is a sloven or a mighty hard-working person. There should be sympathy for the laborer who has to work around with a lot of dirt and grease and other disagreeable stuff that gets beneath his fingernails and pretty nearly baffles eradication, but the. ordinary business man or housewife whose nails are not clean is likely to suffer a reverse in estimation at the hands of his or her acquaintances. As breeding places for germs the fingernails are delightfully equipped. Hence it is well that in the public schools the teachers see to it that the youngsters are compelled to keep themselves clean in this respect, if their parentß have been negligent therein.

Too Enterprising.

TASTE OF “HOME COOKING”

Woman Who Lives In Apartment Can Have K If She Will Do • Little Planning. Many a woman living In a two-room-and bath apartment and taking her meals In an adjoining public dining room yearns at times for something "homemade” and delicious; chocolate layer cake, for instance; or scalloped oysters, or old-fashioned molaßses cake, or soda biscuit, tender and piping hot, and made rich with a little shortening. One woman condemned —as she expresses it —to live in a luxurious hotel apartment most of the year, satisfies her housewifely instincts by getting Sunday-night tea in her own apartment by aid of a chafing dish, a coffee percolator and a oneburner gas stove with a little oven about as big as a baby’s hatbox. It is surprising how many delectable things can be baked in this absurd little oven. Out of it come small layer cakes, pans of light biscuit, toothsome little drop cakes, small pans of pipinghot Sally Lunn and rich gingerbread for the Sunday night supper. The little oven bakes only a small quantity—enough biscuit for four persons, twice around, and layer cake which makes six good-sized slices; but the Sunday night opportunities to have a teste of real home cooking are much appreciated by privileged guests who also dwell In boarding places. No woman with fastidious taste — and thought for her neighbors —would venture to cook steak or fry potatoes in an apartment where odors of cooking are not supposed to permeate; but creamed entrees, salads, baking of the sort referred to and various appetizing Scalloped entrees may be prepared by aid of chafing dish and a little oven of the sort. The small ovens may he used on electric grills also, and rare is the woman who does not enjoy an occasional “cooking fest” to keep her hand in at housekeeping. — Pittsburgh Dispatch.

CARE IN TABLE DECORATION

Paople as a Rule Don’t Like to Play Peek-a-800 at Dinner, Says Miss Holman. A few flowers are in good taste and add charm to the dining table but the whole greenhouse or garden should not be used. They shouldn’t fairly scream out for attention, asserts Miss Araminta Holman, instructor in home .-Alt, ———— -r-r —— “Decorations should always add beauty to the artcle which they decorate,” says Miss Holman. “The flowers that are dainty, delicate and sparingly used are attractive on the table in the dining room. A small fern is appropriate. The flowers are of less importance than the food, the dishes and the silver. One or two flowers are usually enough, properly arranged. "Their tops should not he higher than the tallest dish on the table. Persons seated for the dinner should not have to play peek-a-boo around a tall vase of flowers."

Furnishing Small Rooms.

In furnishing a small room two necessary points must be considered: First, that space is gained by making things as flat as possible against the -wall; and, second, that stiffness is prevented then by introducing a plant or two, if the room is a living room or a dining room, and breaking the lines of the furniture by pulling out a table a little or turning a chair. • A low seat 16 inches in height, running around a corner and along one side of the room to some break of door or window, saves space and furniture, and adds a charming effect. It should be upholstered, and have only an occasional rather small and carefully selected pillow. Low book shelves, too, built against the wall, furnish without furniture, hut care must be taken that they are. not extended in too continuous a straight line. A carpet or rug of a solid color also increases the effect of space.

Lemon Custard.

Beat four eggs until light and then add the juice and grated rind of a lemon, two cupfuls of milk, half a cupful of granulated sugar and a tablespoonful of flour, rubbed smooth with a little of the milk. Put in a buttered baking dish and bake until solid in a pan of water. Have ready a meringue made of the whites of the eggs, beaten, stiff, sweetened with sugar. Pile this in a heap on a board and brown in a slow oven. Then slide it gently on the custard. Chill and serv& 'cold.

"Frenched” Strawberries.

Wash and hull large strawberries, allowing six or eight to a person; cut fresh -ripe pineapple in strips about one-quarter inch thick and one inch long, and insert in the berries to replace the hulls. Arrange Individually and garnish with whipped cream, which has been sweetened to taste with powdered sugar. It may be tinted pale pink with vegetable coloring if desired, —Good Housekeeping.

Toasted Corn.

An improvement over boiled corn is toasted corn, which has a much more, delicious flavor. After boiling the ears six minutes, so as to cook them partially, remove to a breadtoaster and place over hot coals, turning until they are browned evenly.

New Tomato Recipe.

When broiling or frying tomatoes sprinkle them generously with gratfcd cheese Just before serving and top each portion with a little whipped cream. ■

The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susoeptfble to opium and Its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Even in the smallest closes, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the cells which are likely to beoome permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying Kwers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at -a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops. Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be a party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing leas than a mime to dose them willfully with narcotics. Castoria contains no narcotics If it bears the ~ signature of Chas.

United States Ahead Again.

While many of the most Important electro-chemical and electro-metal-lurgical Industries are of American origin, and have been developed chiefly in connection with the Niagara Falls power development, electric steel refining started originally In Europe, but at an early date all the noteworthy European electric steel furnaces were Introduced into this country, and the work of the American steel man has left its mark cn electric steel furnace designs, says the Electrical World. During the last year the increase In the number of American electric steel furnaces was 78 per cent, and as a result the United States Is now leading all the countries In the world in the number of electric steel furnaces, while Germany held the leading place up to last year. On January 1, 1910, the United States had 73 electric steel furnaces in operation or under construction, compared with 68 in Germany and 46 In England.

Confidence.

Why does this country tend always to belittle its wealth, its works, its men and its power to meet calamity? It does, and yet we are thpught to be a people unembarrassed by modesty. Yankee boastfulness is a proverb in the world, bnt no Yankee ever told quite all the truth. He never dared, and, besides, he could not make himself believe the whole length and depth and breadth of It. Distrusting their own Judgment, the American people lack confidence in their great estate. Their temperament is rich in daring, faith and optimism, but poor in confidence, which is a quality that comes with time. A young people perhaps should not have it.
