VOL. LIV. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., JUNE 10, 1899. NO. 23 %xpzxizutz _zpxxxtmzu\. A NICE FARMERS' PICNIO. How Make it Lively and Restful? 1st Premium.—"A change is always a rest," they say, and so a picnic being a change from the routine of daily life cannot fail to be a rest in a certain way. In the first place I would like to suggest that some one canvas the neighborhood, and learn just what each one will prepare for the lunch, in this way we may be certain of having a change, not all cake and pie. The woman who prides herself on rolls or biscuit may make her specialty, etc. It is a tact to be deplored that many women in getting ready for a picnic nearly kill themselves beforehand to bake up a great deal and that better than Mrs. Thug—and—So. This is a mistake, we take our pleasures too hard, we should take them easily and aim to make the day a day of rest and enjoyment. Bake an abundance, in the aggregate, but each one prepare but her quota of the whole. There are few things more acceptable than ham sandwiches, for these bread twenty-four hours old should be used, spread before cutting and then cut' as thin as it well can be, have ready the boiled hamor meat, and have this minced fine, don't make the mistake of putting it in slices, if you must have it sliced then avoid sandwiches. Oold chicken, pressed or fried and laid upon brown paper after taking from the skillet, to drain off every particle of fat, is nice. Salads and baked beans. Avoid smeary things. Cake and lemonade, coffee for those who want a hot drink, with ice cream made of cream not milk if convenient, all come in good. The ice cream will be all the better after standing some hours, if carefully covered with chipped ice, and then packed in newspapers about the freezer. It seems strange but really there are few who want serious talking at a picnic, music by a band if possible will prove exhilarating, or music made by participants in the picnic is a good feature, but we can have all these things at home or other places, the picnic should be a time of freedom, to range the woods ln search of wild flowers or ferns, to Bit beside a rippling brook and talk quietly with a congenial companion, a mingling and commingling of friends and friendly intercourse will prove more satisfactory than an elaborate program with fluent speakers at a picnic. We want lectures, we want agricultural discussions, we want to hear the woman suffragist, and the temperance talk, but we don't want lt to infringe upon our freedom at a farmers' picnic. My idea is plenty of hammocks, plenty of swings, plenty of room to wander about and enjoy one's self In one's own sweet way, for one whole day,and then rested and invigorated, Instead of cross and tired to seek the home nest and feel that it Is the bast place on earth, feel that life is worth living, and that "right where we are. Feel that our inters_ourse with our friends has opened our hearts and broadened our lives, stirred up the sweet springs of sympathy and brotherly kindness, feel that this coming near to Naturer's heart ln the temples made by God not man, has brought us into holier kin- "hlp with him who walked the lowly paths of life ln cheerfulness and love. Life holds much, hut lt should never hold so much else, that we cannot spare time for our friends, and recreation, really re-creation, being made and created anew. There is nothing like mingling with others to bring out tho best there is In U", and nothing like the trouble of others to make us forget our own. R. S. M. 2d Premium.—Since 1892 the farmers of Union county have each year held a grand out-door picnic on the first Saturday in September. From the first these meetings have °eei1 greatly appreciated by the farming com munity as evidenced by ihe attendance and interest in the programs. Soon after the organization of the Farmer's Institute in our county, we organized an "agricultural and horticultural society" with a membership fee of 25 cents per year. More than a hundred farmers and their wives signed the constitution. This guaranteed a fund to begin our summer meetings. The dates of our meetings are announced months before hand. Our programs are made up of addresses by farmers, or those directly interested in farming, recitations, essay, contests, and the best music, vocal and instrumental, that our means can secure. As an additional attraction we offer a number of premiums for grains, fruits and vegetables, and household comforts and luxuries. Our meetings are held in a grove as near the center of the county as possible, 'the chairman and other officers of the winter institute have charge of the eummer meeting. The work is divided among several committees, so that no one is overworked. Our organization as a soci. ety enables us to draw the license fees of shows, which amounts to several dollars per year. Refreshment stand privileges add several dollars per year. In some places the business men of the town donate enough money and offer enough in premiums to insure the success of the meeting. Our home speakers have never made any charge for papers, and speakers from a distance hare seldom asked more than traveling expenses. This year Prof. W. C.Latta and Hon. Alexander Johnson, of Fort Wayne, have promised to make addresses. All the addresses are popular in character, as discussions in the open air and in large assemblies are out of the question. A long noon recess gives opportunity to compare notes on exhlbite, exchance experiences, and renew and make new acquaintances. Ag a result there is not a county In the State, I venture to say, that has a more intelligent, more contented, more prosperous farming community, nor a county where so nearly all the people are acquainted with all others. The inspiration of such speakers as our farmer governor, Mrs. Meredith, Mrs. W. W. Stevens, J. J. W. Billingsley, Ooi. Husselman, J. H. Brigham and others, has awakened a spirit of pride in the prof ession that is sending some of our young people to Purdue every year and checking the mad rush of our boys and girls to the towns and cities. We have always made the meetings distinctively farmers' meetings, although our city cousins are always invited and welcome. We make the social part a prominent feature. We spare no pains to make our program one that would be a credit to a meeting of men and women in any profession. H. F. McMahan. Union Oo. 3d Premium.—The only recreation that a large number of farmers take is an occasional picnic and in order to do that they muet work harder the day before and get up earlier on the day in question. Afterward many of the participants feel tempted to ask the question: "Does it pay?" The old time picnic was anything but a day of rest. The picnic of to-day is certainly an improvement over those of olden times, but there ls still room for improvement. The idea of loading down a picnic table with every variety of dainties that hands can prepare or baskets carry until the table fairly groaned is simply absurd. The writer has been to picnics where there were cakes and pies innumerable, dougnuts, cookies, and all manner of jellies, preserves, pickles, etc., besides the substantial Every one ate until he was full,—yes more than full, and the result was no one felt like stirring the rest of the day and all felt stupid and dull the following day. A picnic in its best sense meant a day of rest in the woods or by a stream of water, commencing with nature. The dinner though bountiful should by no means be the most important item of the day. There should be an abundance of hammocks, ruga and cushions for absolute rest and comfort. Informality should prevail and every one should wear a simple outing costume with strong, substantial shoes. A number of games can be provided for those who care for them, and those who feel disposed can have a game of base ball or quoits. If the picnic is held near a pretty Btream ot water a boat ride may prove very restful as well aa enjoyable. The children can employ themselves gathering wild flowers, lichens, mosses, and shells or curious stones. A unique and pleasant feature would be to have some woman who understands fortune telling by means of tea- grounds, cards or palmiBtry tell the fortunes of all present. This will afford no end of amusement. Let the dinner consist of substantial rather than so many fancy dishes and sweets, and have a competent committee appointed beforehand to make the arrangements and see what the different ones are to furnish. Chicken pie which has been baked at homo and only requires warming is most appetizing for a picnic- Creamed potatoes which can be easily warmed are delicious for a picnic. Baked or scalloped corn are favorite picnic dishes, cabbage salad, salad eggs, sour pickles, sandwiches with either meat filling, lettuce, celery or cress are all suitable for picnics. One kind of cake or two at the most are ample for a picnic. Ooffee can be easily made ln the woods. Lemon juice sweetened already for lemonade, or grape juice can be taken in bottles to quench thirst. It is much more sensible to take wooden plates and Japanese napkins which can be thrown away afterward. Use large, flat paeteboard boxes Instead of baskets for storing away the edibles and tie them with heavy cord. Theeo will slip under carriage seats better than baskets. A pail for water, drinking cups of granite ware or tin and a large coffee-pot will be needed. 0. A. J. The first thing necessary for the success of any picnic is plenty of shade and pure water- If possible, it should be held in a grove in which there ie plenty of running water. If thia is not possible sufficient good water for the crowd must be furnished by hauling. The next thing to arrange is a good program. It should not ba too long as plenty of time must be allowed for general conversation. Two hours in the morning and the same length of time in the evening is sufficient. There must be plenty of music both vocal and instrumental. A good band is an absolute necessity. It may be either brass or string, or both, which ia better. Ag to the nature of the exercises, I would give the morning to talks by the old folks, interspersed with songs by the young people and music by the bands. Some one is generally willing to sing somo of the old time songs, which may be added as another interesting feature. The evening program should be rendered entirely by tho young folks. It ahould consist of recitations, essays, orations and drills by the little tots. If it could be managed so as not to create ill feeling, prizes should be awarded to the best contestants. This ia necessary to bring out the best talent. A few stands ehould be allowed on the grounds, but they muBt be placed far enough away so aB not to interrupt tho exercises. Every one would return home feeling rested and Invigorated ready to attend another in a year or sooner if opportunity allowed. E. E. Ogujs. Eminence. gathering some kind of entertainment is good, as it affords a place for thoee so in. dined to go. It takes the quiet people out of the crowd and makes them feel at home. The Marlon Oounty Horticultural Society enjoys a nice picnic every sumner In the shapo of a strawberry meeting. They pay a premium on the best exhibit of strawberries, currants; cherries, gooseberries and flowers. Their premiums amount to over 22 dollars. They have a literary program. Laet Saturday it was "plant root development" and "special reports of committees" on "ornithology," "entomology" and "home interests." This takes an hour or two out of the day and leaves lots of time to talk. It also suggests some thing to talk about. The society usually meets at a private dwelling where are found all conveniences and spends some choice time in walking over the premises and talking of the fruits and flowers. This meeting has the merit of being away from home, in comfortable quarters with a variety of entertainment, and tbe whole instructive. It does not bar social pleasures at all. This may be objected to on account of expense. But ln Union county, Mr. McMahan and others took the advantage of the State law allowing a community to tax traveling ehowB and made that a basis of a fund. Then they organized a farmer's club that pay a quarter m»mberahlp fee. Altogether they have quite a collection and can make a most Interesting success of most any program. I speak at some length of thla plan because popular picnics with no system are often a bore, and end in no definite work being done. Some one says "we don't want definite work." "The very object is to get away from work," and my wife juet now Btepped in and said "Ed for pities sake don't fix up a picnic with a program." At tha same time she never comes home from a promiscuous picnic without being half dead. One great trouble with these popular crowds le that there are not enough resting places. Peoplo accustomed to soft chairs sit on any old stump or root or on the ground which is too low or too hard. Why ahould we expect to rest on a board without any back and flat on mother earth, why not use lt at home? Every picnic ground ought to bo furnished with Eeata, hammocks and lazy places. Also plenty of ehade. Where practical the niceet of all is to let a few families take tents out along a river couree and stay a few days. They can nap or fieh or romp or swing, and it ie not all rushed into one day. My wife and I are aiming to accept an invitation to go in'a wagon to Corydon and join some friends and visit Wyandotte cave. Who would like to join us, eay the last of Aqgust? Each company would be independent and in no way burdensome to others. We expect to go in a covered wagon and take our time and leleure. This too, like the horticultural meeting mentioned above, has the advantage of being instructive and of having leisure. I am ashamed to have never seen ao fine a thing ae Wyandotte, right here in our own State. ' B_.VI_.W. There are two kinds of picnics that I like. One la when the company ie small and composed of a few very congenial families. The other is a regular old settler's meeting where you go at random and take your chances of.meeting congenial people. At a large No. 171, June 17.—Experience ln sowing rye, beans, clover, or other feed crops ln corn. No. 172, June 24.—How best clean rooms In daily housework, floors, furniture, brass, pictures and the like. No. 173, July 1.—The effect of the policy of political expansion on American agricultural ntereets. Premiums of $1, 75 centa and 50 cents will be given to let, 2d and 3d beet articles each week. Let copy be as practicable as possible and forwarded 10 days before publication to Oarmel. E. H. Coixiss. In some parts of Russia the only food for the people consists at present in acorns, leaves and the soft bark of trees.
