Hints About Kitchen Economy.

When the kitchen dish cloth begins to
smell like dish rag" throw it in a
saucepan or tin bucket Of hot water. put
a good lump of soda in with it, and set it
on the stove to take a good boil. 1t will
be sweet and clean when it comes out.
Certain of the fraudulent say that leav-
ing milk pans open until the milk gets
cold will remove the taste of onion from
milk. 1t does nothing of the sort. The
only thing that removes the taste is to
keep onions or garlic away from the
COWS. Once in milk, it is there to stay.
Another fraud is the statement that
washing rancid butter IN buttermilk will
make it sweet again II doesn't help it
one PARTICLE Rancid butter has under
gone certain chemical changes and can
not be restored to its normal state. There
IS a German method of preparing
Strong butter so that it can be used in
cooking, but once rancid, or even in the
edge thereof. it is past table use.
still another imposition is the story
that when eggs are fiat" and won't beat
up light, pinch of soda will make them
beat 1t doesn't don't A stale egg can
not be restored any more than sour milk
san be made new or rancid butter fresh.

SOIL.

We the farmers of America, are
very modest in our demands. We
have very little of the fostering care
and the protection of the national
government; nor do we expect very
much of it. What we do want is only
a small matter: We wont the earth,
and to be left in its peaceable posses
sion. "Uncle Sam is rich enough to
give us all a farm" is one of the old,
wel-known boasts of the American
people, but it will not be true much
longer unless the national domain is
more jealousy guarded against further
attacks upon it by syndicates and land
grabbing monopolies. What is now
left should be preserved intact for the
use and benefit of actual, bona fde till
ers of the soil, and as an inheritance
to u children. The time for thought
les and sinful liberality in giving away
our broad acres have passed. What
ever grants a be reclaimed, legally,
should be done at the first favorable
opportunity, and not another foot
given away to corporations or individ-
ual jobbers. The "earth ".belongs to
the farmer, and should remain in his
undisturbed possession.-Farm and
Garden.
