a Good HOuSkeeDer.

Ability to be a perfect housekeeper is
not conferred on every woman, but it is
possible to be good one without sacrific-
ing all other interests in life. While one
is learning. to be sure, it may seem as if
there were not many interests beyond the
household but after the art has been mas
tered. there is n freedom and sense of
power worth all the struggles made. Of
course. the kitchen is not the only place
in which burdens are borne, yet the care
of the table generally makes itself felt
more than anything else; and no matter
how well conducted all the other depart
ments may be. if this one be neglected.
discomfort and unhappiness will ensue.
Cooking is a science, and for this reason
girls are often more successful than their
elders in culinary experiments, because
they comply strictly with directions. in
stead of guessing what quantities OF ingre-
dents to use in order to produce desired
results. Experienced housekeepers might
avoid much disappointment if they were
equally careful. The Home.

A Good Kitchen Continuance

A great convenience in an humble
kitchen which cannot boast of all the mod
ern improvements is made with so little
expenditure of time and money that al
most any one may have it. If the sink is
small, as nearly all sinks are. have a piece
of board the width of the sink and any
moderate length, say 81 of yard long
have it placed at one end OF the sink and
let it rest upon the sink have rim of
board around the edge about four inches
high. and this should be firmly screwed
in place this shelf should be fastened to
the wall and propped so that it will be
wei! supported; the end furthest from the
sink should be slightly raised so that water
will drain from it. To assist this pro-
cess two grooves may be cut in the board,
though not deeply When the dishes are
washed set them on this shelf. rinse them
and drain them there. 1t is really
an important matter that great attention
be paid to dishwashing. Always
seek to inspire a new girl with zeal on
this point. One excellent way of doing
so is by providing liberal supply of WHIP
inc towels and dishwashers. Have a va
riety in these of different qualities for
different grades of dishes. Another point
is never to allow the dishes to be cleaned
with soap that is sticky and has a strong
odor; it is not fit to be used in dishwater,
and sometimes no amount of rinsing will
remove its offensive odor.

Remedy for Burns.

For slight burns, cover all the injured
parts with layer OF powdered soda. For
deeper burns, but where the skin is no,
broken, dip linen rags in a solution made
by dissolving about one-third of an ounce
of the soda in pint of water. lay the rags
on, and keep them moist with the solution.
For very severe burns, followed by sup.
puration formation of pus), apply the
rags in the same way. keeping them moist,
but frequently exchange them when dry
for fresh ones, and carefully wash off,
with the soda solution, any matter that has
accumulated underneath. so that it may
not be absorbed into and poison the blood

Friesian dairymen never allow q COW
even to see her newborn calf, much less
to lick and caress it. The COW is confined
in a stall and watched. and the moment
the calf is dropped it is wholly removed
from her sight.
Although but a short time has elapsed
since the present system of testing the
milk and butter capacity of the Jersey
cow was adopted, there are already 700 OF
the breed that have records of butter run

days.
Fifteen million horses are now owned
in America. and more than 100000 a
year must be bred to keep up the supply
The largest portion of these are used fol-
agricultural and heavy draught purposes,
and such horses bring from Sl75 to $24C
each. Five hundred stations are now an

A cut or sore on a cows teat is always

1t is curious, says an unknown writer
that the prevalent belief that the fleece

warm weather will weigh more than the
same fleece would if sheared on cold

Wool is exceedingly absorbent of moist
ure and of course when in warm weather
the heavy fleece causes the sheep to per
spire freely, the wool will absorb the
larger part of the moisture and increase
in weight.
