On starohing and Ironing.

Seeing an old Scotch lady recently
ironing fine shirts and vests exceedingly
well, lady writes the Prairie Farmer
that she inquired how she starched them.
She said: IL do not use boiled starch
any more; no need OF IL. For five shirts
l take four teaspoonfuls of starch and
one of powdered borax. They will be
plenty still enough starched with cold
starch, and il is the most economical
way. II want to make tbo bottoms of
white shirts very stiff, l put borax into
boiling starch, making little suds of
white soap to wet up the starch.n

Scotch lady's way. Some of my neigh.
