SEED TIME The experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far different soil than others; some crops need different handling than others. He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mistake made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. The best time to remedy wasting conditions in the human body is before the evil is too deep rooted. At the first evidence of loss of flesh Scott's Emulsion should be taken immediately.

How Meals Were Prepared and Served In Chaucer's Time. An ancient cookbook has been discovered, written in the English of Chaucer's time, which was published about 1390. It is called "The Form of Cury" and contains 196 recipes. According to the preface, "It techith a man for to make commune potage & commune meetis for howshold, as they should be made, craftly and holosomly." Judging from the spicing and seasoning, indigestion must have been a disease unknown to the fourteenth century. Garlic, vinegar, cloves, cinnamon, wine and even ale appear in almost every recipe and in appalling quantities. For example, a "salat" was made of "parsel, sawge, garlic, chibolles (young onions), leek, borage, myntes, fenel & ton tresses (cresses), rew, rosmayre, purslayne; lave & washe hem clene, pike hem, pluck hem smale with thyn honde, & myng (mix) hem well with rawe ole. Lay on vynegar & salt, & serve it forth." Pork seems to have been the favorite meat with the Englishmen of this century. And this is not strange when one remembers their taste for spice, strong flavors and cloying sweets. Veal comes next in popularity, but beef is not mentioned in one of the 196 recipes. One is amazed at the popularity of the whale, grampus, seal, swan, crane, heron and peacock. The swan was served up in royal style and vows of chivalry were made upon it. It was skewered and roasted in a sitting posture. Say the directions: "Make a stiff and the matchless George Vest. The writer remember Senator Vest used to tell about Clark that is worth while. Vest and Clark were seated in a popular restaurantington chatting about Mr. Missourians while the waiter preparing their order for this particular occasion doing most of the listening. General Clark in his peculiar piping voice was discoursing merits and demerits, prim merits, of Missouri politics. Those who knew General Clark during his lifetime undo member with what extra general could praise and lay had a liking for at the nth with what grim humor he size and ridicule the foiblesnesses of those he happened It was these dispositions on the general that caused him trouble at this time. Although Vest was listened to and respectfully to the conversation, assisting him story with a grunt of ap and then, even offering sucession would permit, while the senator was cast to the daily paper spread on table near him. The gen-aged by Vest's grunts and was working himself up to climax in a ludicrous story Missouri politician whom for the moment had conclude like, when he was abruptly by Senator Vest's speaking had just discovered some paper he had been glancing. "By the way, general," said you know one Captain — will call him "Captain John" the purpose of this story Missouri?" "Yes," snapped the gene some irritation at having terrupted right in the very growth, "certainly I know dirtier coward never wall of the earth than this ssa John Smith." This little fling at Captain a left handed stroke at Virupting his (Clark's) story planned and expected if However, the general show sition to let it all go at tempted to resume his fr ite meat with the Englishmen of this century. And this is not strange when one remembers their taste for spice, strong flavors and cloying sweets. Veal comes next in popularity, but beef is not mentioned in one of the 196 recipes. One is amazed at the popularity of the whale, grampus, seal, swan, crane, heron and peacock. The swan was served up in royal style and vows of chivalry were made upon it. It was skewered and roasted in a sitting posture. Say the directions: "Make a stiff bed of paste about the thickness of your thumb, color it green, comb it out, and it will look like a meadow of green grass. Take your swan and gild him over with gold; then have a kind of loose, flying cloak of a vermilion color within and painted with arms without; then set the swan upon this bed, cover some part of him with the cloak, stick about him small banners upon little sticks, the banners painted with the arms most agreeable to the persons seated at the table." At a grand feast when Edward I. knighted his eldest son, on the eve of his Scottish expeditions, two swans, gorgeously caparisoned, were introduced with a flourish of trumpets. Upon them the king swore in the presence of God and the ladies that he would avenge the death of John Comyn and the perfidy of Robert Bruce. But, in spite of the popularity of the swan for great occasions, it was the peacock which, in the romantic language of the age of chivalry, was "the food of lovers and the meat of kings." He appeared on the festal board with his gorgeous feathered skin skewered around his roasted body. One very popular concoction was called "tarts of flesh," and the quaint recipe reads: "Take veal Ysode and grind it small. Take hard ayren ysode (bolled eggs) & ygrounde & there- This little fling at Captain a left handed stroke at Vest rupting his (Clark's) story, planned and expected in However, the general shout to let it all go at tempted to resume his fright about the Missouri politician.

But I knew and I thought I would get me something about him." "Of course I know him general responded, pitching voice in a little higher key already said enough about any genuine Missourian to in him.

Why, I tell you they afraid to go out in the coat they are gathering corn popping of the breaking sounds so much like a guff frightens him nearly to talk to me, Vest, about Smith. I know him."

Then sugar, ayren (eggs), & flour & paste with a roller, thanne thereof smale pellets & fry them clean grece.” In the oyster was known and the fourteenth century, it was to lack flavor, so they seethed one with ground almonds and powdered ginger, sugar and mace. Thus thing about old cookery their silence concerning quanTake pigges yscalded;” “take take conynges or rabbits,” is information which is given. LED HIS DINNER GENERAL CLARK ONCE REFUSED TO EAT WITH VEST. Light of the Old Missouri Fightover the Skillful and Merciless War of the Artful and Tantalizinator. The most prominent story telling Missouri annals were General Clark of Wilson creek fame matchless George Graham The writer remembers a story Vest used to tell about General that is worth while. And Clark were seated at a tapopular restaurant in Washchatting about Missouri and mans while the waiter was out giving their order for dinner. On particular occasion Vest was most of the listening, while Clark in his peculiar sorny low seems to write a right good article." “Humph!” snorted the general in disgust. “I’d like to know what that fellow could be writing about. Nobody would believe a word he could say. He’s a coward, I tell you. I know, for I’ve had him in command under me, and I’ve seen him flicker time and again. Nobody will ever believe a word a coward will say, but what is the fellow trying to write about, Vest?” “The Battle of Wilson Creek,” the senator replied as he picked up the paper and prepared to read the story to the general. The senator knew he had the general at the verge of the precipice and that it was time to topple him over, and right well did he do it. The battle of Wilson creek was General Clark’s theme on any and all occasions, and as soon as Senator Vest mentioned that as being Captain Smith’s subject the general was all attention in a moment. The senator began the story at the beginning and read it clean through for the general’s benefit, occasionally glancing over the edge of the paper out of the corner of his eye to observe the effect it was having on the general. The senator was soon rewarded, for the general soon began to twist and wriggle uneasily in his seat. In other words, the general was over the precipice. He knew it and was working his brain for all it was worth for a hold to recover. The senator chuckled quietly to himself as he read on. Presently he came to the climax of the story, that read about as follows: It was a desperate and sanguinary battle. The men in our line were falling like withered leaves in a November gale, and blood was running in little rivulets from pool to pool that had gathered in the depressions all over the battleground. Our men were mostly raw recruits, unaccustomed to such scenes of carnage, and, as might be expected under such circumstances, they wavered under the dashing slaught of the intrepid Lyon and his The writer remembers a story Vest used to tell about General Clark being seated at a popular restaurant in Wash.-chatting about Missouri and plans while the waiter was out of their order for dinner. On particular occasion Vest was most of the listening, while Clark in his peculiar scrapy voice was discoursing upon the stand demerits, principally de- of Missouri political leaders. Who knew General Clark well in his lifetime undoubtedly re- with what extravagance he could praise and laud those he liking for at the moment and grim humor he could satirize the foibles and weak- of those he happened to dislike. These dispositions on the part of general that caused him to get into this time. Though Vest was listening attentively and respectfully to the general's station, assisting him on with his with a grunt of approval now, even offering suggestions as would permit, yet all the senator was casting his eyes daily paper spread out upon the dear him. The general, encour- Vest's grunts and suggestions, working himself up to a striking in a ludicrous story about a politician whom the general moment had concluded he didn't when he was abruptly interrupted Senator Vest's speaking as if he had discovered something in the case had been glancing at. The way, general," said Vest, "do know one Captain — —" (we call him "Captain John Smith" for purpose of this story), "down in trii?" "Snapped the general, showing irritation at having his story ined right in the very flower of its, 'certainly I know him, and a coward never walked the face earth than this same Captain Smith," little fling at Captain Smith was handed stroke at Vest for inter- his (Clark's) story, as Vest had and expected it would be. After, the general showed a dispo- let it all go at this and at- to resume his fractured story The senator chuckled quietly to himself as he read on. Presently he came to the climax of the story, that read about as follows: It was a desperate and sanguinary battle. The men in our line were falling like withered leaves in a November gale, and blood was running in little rivulets from pool to pool that had gathered in the depressions all over the battleground. Our men were mostly raw recruits, unaccustomed to such scenes of carnage, and, as might be expected under such circumstances, they wavered under the dashing slaught of the intrepid Lyon and his ralliant men. For a moment it appeared that the day and all, even honor, would be lost in complete defeat and ignominious rout. Just at this critical moment who should go to the relief of our sorely tried men but that gallant brigade commanded by that bold, intrepid leader who knows not what the word fear means, General John B. Clark, the greatest hero of the battle, and the day was— "Who did you say wrote that article, Vest?" broke in General Clark, not being able to restrain himself longer. "Captain John Smith," the senator replied parenthetically and turned to his paper again as if he was about to resume the reading. "Oh, thunder," snorted the general in response, "I thought you was talking about Captain John T. Smith—at least that is the man I had in mind all the time. You know, there were two Captain Smiths in my brigade. One was Captain John T. Smith, whom everybody nicknamed as 'John the Coward,' and there was plain Captain John Smith, whom everybody nicknamed 'John the Bold,' and bold indeed he was. There is no braver, more truthful and more upright man in every respect in all the state of Missouri, Vest, than this same plain Captain John Smith 'the bold.' Furthermore, Vest, every word he has written in that article is the unwarnished truth from beginning to end. I'll vouch for plain Captain John Smith every time. Besides, I was there, you know, and I know it is so." "But, general," the senator rejoined as he fairly exploded with laughter, "you see, this article is signed by John T. Smith, not the plain John Smith. I did not think at the time that the middle initial would assist you in identifying this man; hence my failure to give his full name as it is written here when I first inquired about him." This was too much for the general. Bounding from his seat and shaking his finger in the senator's face, he said: "Vest, of all the demons that stalk upon the face of the earth you are the biggest and most heartless. I'll not Sir Walter Scott's Pluck. When Sir Walter Scott was left poverty stricken, with debt amounting to $700,000, he said to his creditors, "Give me time, and I shall be able to pay you every farthing." Having relinquished his property to his creditors, he said to a friend in a deep, thoughtful tone: "It must be very hard thus to lose all the labors of a lifetime and be a poor man at last. But if God grants me strength and life a few years longer I have no doubt I shall be able to pay it all." He then set to work in earnest, and during the three years that followed performed a literary feat unparalleled and reaped immense profits. In these three years, from 1827 to 1830, he wrote and published about thirty different volumes, making more than ten a year. Besides this he was editing an edition of his novels, to which he added copious notes, and such was the demand for these works that over 1,000 persons were occupied in their mere manufacture. It seems hardly credible, but nineteen of these volumes were edited and published in a year. The profits resulting from these three years of labor amounted to something like $300,-000. EGG MONEY!
