Household Hints.

Flees flee from oil of wormwood.
Camphor is dsagreeable to mosqui-
toes.
Place quicklime in small opening
that furnish admission to ants.
Soluble glass mixed with whiting is
excellanl for filling cavities in hard
finished walls.
Filling-1he whites of two eggs put
in sugar. For thin frosting CRATE in
as much chocolate us desired.
Carbolic acid is so offensive TO flies a
sponge saturated wth the liquid and
suspended in room will cause them to
vacate.
Corns will succumb to repeated ap-
plications of kerosene oil. Cut away
the corns as much rs possible before
rubbing on the oil.
If cockroaches are troublesome try
covering the places most freguented
with cucumber parings, The liquid
they contain is poisonous to the ver-
min.
Active exercise in the open air Is an
effective remedy for cold. 1t is better
than drugs to increase the circulation
of the blood, and that is the cure.
Chocolate pie-Two eggs. one cup
ofsugar. three tablespoonfuls of butter.
half cup of milk. two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. two cups of flour.
Perhaps there is nothing better to
remove the irritation caused by the bite
of mosquitoes and feas than borax
solution. An ounce to pint OF water
produces tho requisite strength.
Lemon jelly cake-One and one half
cups of sugar, one-half cup butter. beat
to a cream, one-half cup milk, two
ana one-half cups of flour. two tea
spoonfuls baking powder. three eggs.
we'll beaten; bake in sheets or in Jelly
tins.
Jelly-One cup of sugar, one egg;
CRATE the yellow rind and use with the
juice of one lemon, one tablespoonful
of water. one teaspoonfnl of flour;
place the dish in n kettle of boiling
water and let it thicken; when cool
spread between the cakes.
Peach pie-Soak dried peaches over
night in cold water, and stew them in
the same water until so soft you can
mash them fine; add for one pie. two
tnblcspoonfuls of sweet cream and a
little more than half n cup of sugar.
Butter may be used in place Of cream
but cream is preferable.

FoI'un Notes.

There are u thousand honest ways
to get into debt, but only one to get
out.
Pastures cannot be continually crop
ped without something being returned
10 prevent loss of fertility.
An Ohio orchardist claims that ap-
pies at S1.50 a barrel are more profit.
able than wheat at IS cents a bushel.
Institutes, oranges and farmers
clubs create interest in and advance
knowledge of how to make farming
pay.
Much of the complaint about being
swin,lled would be avoided if certain
people did not expect something for
nothing.
Farmers who change their crops
every time the market is low, and go
with the crowd. into something new.
are almost sure TO fail.
Debt may DO stimulus to greater
excrtion. but to the sensitive nature it
is very serious distress, never relieved
until power to pay is complete.
When butter is gathered in the churn
in granular form it is never overchurn-
ed. Pounding it after it is in lump
or large mass is what overchurns it.
To kill the tcnt caterpillar use lye
squirtcd into the nest when occupied
early in the morning, work that
may be performed very rapidly and
cheaply.
Each tree requires a certain amount
of space. according to its kind You
can crowd it only at the risk of get
ting reduced crops of understood, in
ferior and badly colored fruit.
1t is good idea for the proprietor
of the farm to cultivate the crops in the
orchard. If the trees arc injured then
it is not so hard to tell how and by
whom it was done.
Pure hen manure or other concen-
trated fertilizer may do great damage
if applied too close to seeds or very
young plants. 1t should be well mix.
ed with soil before applying.
The farmer WHO thinks that to make
money lie must go where land is cheap
er, should consider well if he would
not make more money by making the
land he has deeper ami richer,
1t will pay to take the time to go to
the house and change clothes when
caught out in the rain and thoroughly
soaked. 1t may add as many years to
your life as it takes minutes to do it.
The farmer who carries note book
in his pocket and jots down his mis-
takes as we'll as his successes in his
farm work will have very interesting
and profitable book for referen CO next
season.
If the sows are to bring the second
lirter care should be taken against be-
coming too thin before the pigs are
weaned. Satisfactory results cannot
be expected from sow that is q walk
ing skeleton.

In Ancient Egynt.

Bull-fghting was one of the amuse-
ments of the ancient Memphinns.
Type-wpiters are u modern luxury
but sixteen or seventeen centuries
ago young women were employed in,
the Alcxandrian library copying
books for sale.
When an ancient Egyptian found
himself in need of money he could al
ways negotiate loans upon the num-
mics of his ancestors. Mummicsi
were considered gilt-edged securities.
The Alexandrians were passionate
ly fond of cock-fighting. Eros, o.
tax-gatherer, having committed the
objectionable crime of roasting and
eating the champion cock, was cruci-
fed by order ofthe Emperor Augustus.
The Egyptians were among the
first people to discourage vagrancy.
They had n law making it the duty
of magistrates to cause every man
to give an account of how he earned
his livelihood. Solon, after visiting
Egypt. gave similar law to the
AthenlanS.
Cleopatra, in addition to her other
charms, was somewhat OF a practical
Joker. One day she accompanied
Antony on u fishing expedition. An
tony's luck was poor, so he stirrepti-
tiously ordered one of his men to
dive into the water and put upon his
hook fish that he had previously
caught, Cleopatra saw the trick,
but said nothing. The next day she
brought a large party of friends to
see the fishing, and when Antony let
down his line she sent one of her own
divers to attach the fish. When the
line was drawn up Antony was much
embarrassed and his friends greatly
amused to find on the hook salted
herring.

FARM AND HOME.
our Gren, Grnsu cran.

Few realize the extent and value of
the grass crop of this country. Some
idea of this may be derived from an
article in the Hay and Grass Special"
OF the Prairie farmer, which declares
that grass, in farm pnsturage and cured
hay. is by far the most important crop
IN our country. far out reaching. in
money value. corn. or wheat, or cotton.
Every body. except those imprisoned
in the narrow confines of lawnless city
houses, grows some grass, and with
what JOY does the city prisoner escape
now and then to'enioy the sight of the
Sreensward in csunlry fields.
Among all the cultivators in our
whole country it is rare. indeed, to find
one who does not have some of his
acres in meadow or pasture, or both.
From the Atlantic 10 the Pacific, from
the Gulf to tho ncver-thawed regions
OF the far North no other crop is grown
by anywhere near so maSy people as
is hay. And in most cases the hay is
only n small. reserve portion of the
product of the grass fields, more being
consumed in tho field as grass.
Hay is the chief harvested crop in
the New England States. in the En-
pire State of New York, the keystone
State of Pennsylvania and in New Jer-
sey. Thus. in the nine years preced-
ing the last general census the annual
hay crop in the above eight States
omitting Rhode Island, was valued at
SlI. 600, 900. against total of S167,-
900 600 for all the wheat corn, oats,
mud potatoes. New York cutS65, 600, 900
worth OF hay, and harvested of oats
S15,500.00o of potatoes SIS, OOO 900, of
corn Sl3. 100000. and of wheat S12,-
$50 353 worth-lay excee ding all the
others together by about $4,000. 600.
Pennsylvania ran up to $40, 600, 600
worth of hay. with 1927. 900. 900 in wheat
s24, 600. 600 in corn. and Sc, OPS, 900 in
potatoes. These are the values of cur
ed hay. The pasturagc grass may be
counted as worth about as much more
in all the above.
In the Northern line of States until
we reach wheal-growing Minnesota,
hay is one of the leading harvested
crops Ohio in the above list had over
S2S. 600 900 worth of dried grass annu-
ally. and Illinois quito as much. Mich
igan and Wisconsin had over S12, ,OOO-
600 worth each. and they are about
equaled by Iowa and California. In
all the above only cured hay is reckon
ed The grasses pastured are OF SINH
lar value

h1sikc Clover,

the Practical Farmer. l cut the mixed
timothy and clover for hay in 1882,

ferior TO the red. as it does not root so
deeply, but has some fibrous roots and
spreads over the ground more like
white clover. am now mixing small
quantities of it with my red clover in

Ina serious burn as soon as the fire
