6. Doesn't Like Idleness. Dear Aunt Mary : I have watched the Home Circle-pages every week with so much interest. I am out of school this winter on account of ill health, and the time does seem so long to me. I feel almost like a drone in a bee-hive; everybody here is go ing to school, or has a position. If my eyes were not weak I should study at home. As it is, I can't do anything of much importance. In this busy world, where evry thing is in, a hurry, one is not con tented to be idle. Even If one be ever so lazy there is some energy in one that tries to stir, but oftentimes is held down by the will and tendency to do nothing. Surely He created none of us without giving us some thing to do, and if we fail to do this then one part of the great engine will not work, the rest is out of fix., Let us then cultivate the talents that He has given us and use them in the way that He intends, keeping alive that little celestial .fire called consci ence. KENT. Pender Co., N. C. and now have children of my own to teach and lead to Christ one girl and three boys. I hope the time will soon come when I shall see each one born anew into the Kingdom. I do not think there is a grander sight than to see young "men - and boys giving their hearts to God while they are yet young. It is easier to become a Chris tian then than to wait until after years when habits are formed and hearts are hardened in sin. " There are so many temptations for young men who" are just reaching manhood. How I long to protect them from whiskey, cursing, swear ing, smoking, and "from all evil that is so common in our land, filling so many homes with heartaches and misery. Let me beg all young men who may read our Home Circle pages to leave off all those bad habits, and to help by their, noble lives to make the world better. - CAROLINE. Robeson Co., N. C. Good Cooking. From a Young Alan Who is Teaching. Dear Aunt 'Mary: I have been a reader of The Progressive Farmer for only a short time, but I have learned to prize it highly not only for the farmer "but for others, espe cially for the teacher. I was reared on a farm, but like many other boys' . whose fathers did not employ the progressive methods", I could not see the beauty of farm life as I now see it. I am just now entering into my life's work as a teacher, and am especially well pleased.- A more pro gressive and intelligent community than this in which I am now teach ing is rarely found. And what a re sponsible position a teacher occu pies! He is not only training and preparing minds for this life, but for eternity. How important it is that the teacher should lead a pure and upright life, for every young girl and boy with whomhe comes in contact will be influenced to some degree by him. Let us take Jesus Christ, the Great Teacher, for our example and do only those things which are pleas ing in His sight. . EXCELSIOR. Moore Co., N. C. v . Young Men, Help Make the World Better. Dear Aunt Mary: A few years ago, as "Sand-Hill "Girl," I was plodding along sandy roads to the school house, teaching dear little tots' to read and to write, not only to read and write, but to love God. Since then I have changed the Miss tCK'Mrs., Prof. W. H. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture, who is now in Parish says that when he returns to America he will start a crusade against bad cooking in this country. He believes that more peo ple are injured in health by bad cook ing than by adulterated food. Cooking is really a fine art, and the French women are among the best cooks in the world. Their bread and butter are excellent. They pay a good deal of attention to sanita tion, and the French people are un usually healthy. ' The professor claims that in bring ing up children they should be taught cooking before they study the Short er Catechism, as the children will ap preciate the catechism better if they are well fed.

TKe Thanksgiving TtxrKey. How to Prepare it for the Oven and Some Details of the Roasting. Having decided which kind of dressing you want, prepare it and fill the cavity of the turkey from which the crop was taken, sew up the slit in the skin, fold it over and fasten with a few stitches to .the back; put the rest of the dressing into the body of the turkey, sew up the opening, tie the legs down close to the body of the turkey, passing the twine around the rump, so as to draw the Jegs down close to the body, and se cure them by passing twine around the body of the turkey. Lay the wings down flat on each side of the breast in their natural position and secure them by passing the twine or narrow tape around the body,, tying it securely. " ; -. Now rub the turkey all over with butter, dust it with black pepper and flour and it is ready to bake. Put in the, baking pan, one teaspoonful of salt and a teacupful of water; baste the turkey with this until - there is sufficient drippings of its own for the purpose. Or , . after . the -turkey is trussed and buttered as above direct ed, wrap it in sheets of buttered pa per, or in a thick sheet of light bis cuit dough; either of which is to be removed after the turkey has been in the oven one hour. o In roasting allow twenty minutes to the pound.
