Here is capital hint from Pauline Adelaide
Hardy, who writes in Good Housekeeping on
the preservation OF the hands: MANY house
keepers have rough hands in winter. which
grow very painful, cracking open on the
knuckles, the cracks extending into the palms
OF the hand. They take their hands ont OF
hot soapsuds, or starch to hang clothes In the
wind. If they did not use hot water. and the
hands were thoroughly dried before going out,
this would be avoided. A pair Of white woollen
stockings, cut of rounding at the ankle and
sewed across, with thumb sewed in, make
very comfortable pair Of mittens for hanging up
and taking of clothes. Pin them fast to the
sleeves with large safety pins, before going out,
having first stretched the arm upward, then they
will not come loose and the wrists will be pro-
mitt,ns are put in the clothes-pin-bag they will
be kept clean and in the right place.
Islands are ipiured in very cold weather by
lack of protection at the wrists, as large veins
and arteries are exposed. The blood is chilled
in passing into the hands. Every one cannot
every one can have clean and comfortable
hands,
THE MUSTARD PEST.
Mustard.seed as an independent crop Is val
liable one. Among other crops 1t is q weed.
This seed is also disseminated all over the grain
growing region of the West. The seed holds to
the soil for years, retaining its vitality until
favorable opportunity for termination takes
place. The only way to rid a farm from the
mustard pest is to SOW only clean seed from year
~ {ha ,oi " tho strsw ~ othe, trssh from The
grain.
This may be accomplished In two ways-eith-
er oy Dulning Tue straw anu as,as tlv asnes, "
This takes time and labor. but wherever manure
is valuable it will pay.
What is here said Of the seed Of mustard will
apply to the seeds Of other weeds: They are
carried to the fields In trash and by various 9th
er means. 1t ls nonsense 10 say the seeds OF
weeds are naturally inherent In the soil. They
come from seed, az do all other annual plants
and in the case of perennials also from the con-
tinued life Of the plants In the soil. A complete
summer fallow, by which the leaves of plants
are not permitted to grow, will kill any peren-
NAL, even the Canada thistle. The seeds of
ANNALS once eliminated from q soil will not
thereafter be found unless again carried there,
