40 Clean Lamp Burners.

Kerosene oil is generally used for
lights In the country, and the cleaning
Of lamp chimneys is quite tiresomc, nut
must BIO attended to every day. The
burners often get out OF fix, and II Is
very vexalious 10 keep them In running
order. When they get clogged and will
not turn up or down, and are all cov-
cred with SCOT and gum, do not throw
them away, but take a little iron kettle
and put in a pint of wood ashes and a
quart OF water; put In the burners and
set them on the stove and let them boil
five or ten minutes; take them out and,
with a soft rag, wash them clean and
dry them well. They are then as good
as new and will do another six months.
1t Is very little trouble TO do IL, and saves
much vexation. After one has tried IL
nee she will not be apt to forget IL.
Nice-looking, clean lamps are quite or
namental, while a smoky chimney and
bad-smelling burners are not agreeable.

Profitable Farming.
