yelks OF three eggs, one and half cup
fuls OF sugar, one pint of fresh peaches,

The farmer who waits until after
breakfast to decide what he will.do that
day, is likely to change his plan half |
dozen times before he really gets to |
work, and the chances are then that he |
will that day begin one thing and the |
next day another, and by the end of the
week have half dozen things started
and nothing finished. Plan out your /
work ahead always allowing for acct
dents. Get your tools and implements
into first class order while you have the
spare time, so that when the push comes
you are ready to drive your work, in
stead OF having your work driving YOU.
Do one thing at q time; it may take a
little longer than you like but you will /
save time in the long run.

moved by pouring boiling water on, or
rather through, the stained spot; hold

attempt made to wash out the spot.
