Hints to HousekeeperS.

KEEP your bread pans and pie dishes
free from i'll flavor by always washing
them in hot water after using.
INNIERsING potatoes in cold water for
an hour or two previous to cooking inn
prove their quality at this season of the
year.

OLIVE oil saturated with camphor
makes an excellent application for in
iammatory swellings, also for rubbing
rheumatic joints.
IN washing dishes, pots, and pans, a
wisp of brOom-corn and a small quantity

cleaning them from all bits and grease.
HOLD your breath and contract your

Do NOT appropriate the best room for

make the room as cheerful as possible;
hang the wall with pictures, and supply
such beautiful things as taste suggests
and means allow.
TO BRIGHTEN dingy, spotted gilt

THE STOCK RANCH.
Little Danger of Too Much.

At any time a surplus of feed is better
than a surplus of stock. During the
summer too much stock will keep the
pasture down so close that q good
growth of grass cannot be secured, and
in consequence the stock will not make
satisfactory growth, and during the
winter this condition is even worse, be-
cause n larger amount of feed is neces-
sary and more care required to secure a
profitable gain.
Stinting the stock does not pay at any
time, and especially so during the win
ter, when food is necessary to maintain
animal heat. Feeding at any time and
failing to secure a profitable grain is en-
failing a double loss. One object in
keeping stock and feeding out the pro-
ducts is to secure a better price than can
be done by marketing. This implies the
securing of good growth, but with too
large a number of stock this is impossi-
BILE. Then a good growth with the stock
is necessary if stock keeping and feed
ing is made profitable, so that in at
tempting to keep too many stock in pro-
portion to the amount of feed on hand
we have the profit on the feed and the
gain we shared with the stock. 1t barely
pays for the farmer to purchase feed
occasionally it may be profitable to sell
other that will make, with what YOU
have, more complete, increasing thereby
the value. But it is only in exceptional
cases that purchasing feed could be
made profitable.
Close competition and low prices have
cut down the profit 50 much that with
nearly all kinds of farm stock the very
best of management must be given if a
good profit is realized. This implies
the securing of steady gain from brit
to maturity. Early maturity that is only
possible by good feeding and a rapid
growth largely increases the profits, and
when more stock is kept than the amount
of feed grown on the farm Will keep in
this condition, 1t is not possible to real
ize the best returns. 1t will be more
profitable to sell off portion of the
stock, more so as to be able to keep the
rest in a good, thrifty condition, rather
than to attempt to winter the larger
number, and either be compelled to
stint the stock or sell off portion of
them during the winter at time when it
is usually difficult to sell to good advan-
tage. \ few head sold and the money
invested in wheat, bran, oil-meaI, or
other food, so as to keep what is left in
a good, thrifty condition, would enable
You to realize the best growth from the
summer pasturing.-D Monies Leader.

THE HOUS EHOLD.
Hints A bout Quilts.

In these days of art decoration and
superior needlework, patch work is
looked upon with horror by a great many
people, but not so by all, for in all viii

and charity sales, this branch of handi-
work is always, we'll displayed in many
forms and varieties. 1t is source of deep
pleasure to many sick person or Grip
pied child, and though the Lady Boun-
tiful may try to raise the standard, she
cannot eradicate the much admired,
highly priced patchwork. Since crazy
patchwork came to us, in all its wild
va9aries, from America, many have been
the limitations of it, and some have been
most ingenious. At recent village
show of work, childs cot quilt was
sent in for exhibition, composed of
crazy patchwork on one side, with every
single piece ornamented with some de-
vice in colored silks, while the other side
was of scraps of velvet of every imagin-
able color, arranged in the diamond star
design. it was a wonderful specimen
of industry and perseverance-thew work
of a young milliner in her spare time.
Another coverlid, recently seen in the
room of a young girl, was in crazy patch
work, but the colors were restricted to
gold, white and cream. All were worked
with gold tiloselle and Joined together
with a feather stitching of the same.
The popularity consisted in the pieces
being all worked by herself and her
friends in half yard square sections.
Several friends worked one section, in
serlblng their names on one scrap, their
favorite flower or some device on others,
adhering all the time to the gold
filoselle. Every section was neatly
joined, and when the quilt was com
plete, band of aoId-colored plush,
about quarter of yard wide, bordered
it all round. The lining was of gold
colored sateen. The effect was extremely
good and the study of it most amusing.
This may be hint to some patchw orker.
Very many years ago it was the custom
for set of friends to work, in fine
cross stitch, squares of canvas, which

bride used sometimes to get her friends
to do this as a memento of the years of

doubtless, some relic of their youth in
this style, so that the idea is not a novel

Imported Clocks.
From the Amerlcan Machin.s..

,r, FROM Inc American Mach1n 81.
lneie are a good many imported
clocks in this country. Those imported
IN late years are here for no other rea-
| sons in the world than because it is the
fashion to buy things made abroad.
lhe imported clock is not as good a
tImekeeper as the American clock.
On the contrary it is well known that
the foreignm clock will not
compare with the American clock
so lar as telling the hour of the
day Is concerned. But there are a
good many people in this world who do
not buy clocks to keep time. 1t is, in 4
very cheap way, fashionable to possess
French or a German clock, and that is
sll there is of it. Fashion covers null
utude of deficiencies. These imported
clocks are mounted in fancy cases, and
there is quite large class of Americans
70 whom the name of Paris or Berlin
has sort OF underlined fascination.
II is safe to say that the American
who buys an imported clock does it
from some other motive than an utiE-
tartan one.
The fancy cases in which French and
German clocks have been enveloped
has undoubtedly had something to do,
IN the past, with their importation.
But to-day American clocks, put up
IN cases bizarre enough to suit the taste
OF the most fastidious, can be found.
The style of the case, or the quality OF
the works, does not cover the reason
why toreign-made clocks are brought
TO this country. And as TO cost, the
American clock is much the cheaper.
The simple reason, to-day, why the
French clocks are popular, is because
, they are French.
American clocks are exported in large
quantities, and sold just where French
and German clocks are made. The ex-
ported clocks are sold because they
keep time, and are cheap as TO cost.
great many things Of foreign make
are used IN this country for the same rea-
son that French and German clocks are
used. 1T is English, you know" or
1T IS French, or German, don't you
see % has good deal to do with it.

THE PUULTRY-YARD,
The Bronze Turkey.

The cock should have a long. broad
head; strong, we'll carved beak of horn
color, dark at the base and lighter at the
tip; dark hazel eyes; a long curvinp
neck; back, rising In a convex sweep
from neck to tail; broad full breast, a
long body deepest at the center; large
and powerful wings; well-developed
tall long stout thighs and shanks. The
head and waffle should be rich red in
color, the neck a brilliant bronze, the
back like FURNISHED gold, each feather
banded with black across the end, the
breast dark bronze, the body black
shaded with bronze, the primary feathers
of the wings black, or brown approach
ing black, barred with white or gray, the
secondary feathers similar to the pri-
maries, with the bars changing to dull
bronze towards the center of the back,
the wing bows black and showing
bronze or green reflections in the sun,
the wing coyerts bronze each feather
terminating in a wide black band, the
tail black, barred with light brown.
terminating with broader band of black
edged with gray, tail coyerts similar to
main tail feathers, except the black
bands show more of the bronze hue and
the shanks in young birds nearly black,
but growing lighter with age, and in old
birds usually flesh coIored. The prI-
maries and secondaries of the wings
frequently show white edging but this
is Objectionable, and the less of it that
shows the better.
The hen resembles the cock in plum
age throughout but the luster is less
brilliant, the colors are not so well de-
fined and the feathers are generally
edged with gray. During the breeding
season the color of the head and neck of
the cock are much more brilliant than at
any other time and in the fall the bright
red sometimes becomes of blush cast.
IL q breast is the most brilliant part Of
the plumage and should be free from
white. If such white appears, it would
naturally lead to a suspicion of a cross
with some other variety, especially the
Narragansett a cross by the way, that
would give the most valuable birds for
