Some housekeepers use washing fluids,
and if the ingredients are harmless they
tighten the labor, without destroying the
fabric. The following are among the
best fluids:
To five quarts of water put one pound
of salsoda, half pound of unsiaked lime
and small lump of borax. Boil; when
cold pour of and bottle. Use one teacup-
full for every boiler Of clothes.
Another-One-ilalf bar of hard soap.
one ounce each of saltpetre and borax
dissolved in four quarts of water; when
cold add five ounces Of spirits of ammonia.
Bottle and Use as soap.
Another-Equal parts of turpentine
and ammonia. Add To water.
10 prevent irons from rusting, warm
your iron till you cannot bear your hand
on it without burning yourself. Then
rub it with new, clean wax. Put il again
TO the fire till it has soaked in the wax.
When done, rub it over with piece of
serge. 1nis prevents the iron from rust
ing afterward.
\ very satisfactory method for starch
ing skirt bosom is as follows: Dissolve
your starch in a weak suds of hot water
and fine white soap. Starch, wiring dry,
roll, and after it has lain Il short time {;
iron, then to give it gloss, dip Il cloth in
the starch water that remains, rub over
the linen once and iron again, and ! think
you will be satisfied with the result.
Before putting newly made clothes into
the wash. look at the hens and tucks for
oil stains; rub all spots or dark stitching
with soap and cold water; it will all come
out very easily. If put into hot suds be-
fore this is done it may be permanently
stained.

Good Seed.

\ poor process of manufacture will
spoil the product from the finest cream
ever collected from milk. Then why is
there not money in learning how To make
il.
Prof. Arnold states that it costs more to
make milk from Old cows than it does from
young ones having the same milk capacity.
He says rule the best effects do not
last beyond the eighth year of the cows
age.
Mr.. +. 5. Goff, horticulturalist of the
New \ DIRK Experiment Station, found, AS
the result of ii long series of tests. that the
productiyeness of any strain of potatoes
can be materially increased by the contin-
ued selection for seed of tubers from the
most productive hills.
Farms now rich can be kept so by jul
dicious cropping and feeding-properly
outstanding and applying all the manure
that the farm and stock can make, and so
cultivating such land as the farmer may
work as to release from combination Il
portion of the latent plant food in the soil.
In preparing the ground for corn crop
manure should be used plentifully. The
coarse manure does we'll on corn land. as
the crop is "A gross feeder, sending its
roots in every direction. In cultivating
corn only the surface of the ground should
be stirred, as the real benefit is derived by
the loose earth serving as a protecting
mulch. Grass, however, should be kept
down from the start.
The fertility in good farm that has
never been abused is practically inexhaus-
tible if rightly managed. Many of our
best farmers, blessed with strong horse
sense and keen insight, have found this
to be so in their own experience. They
had no great amount of book knowledge.
but they had learned by coming in contact
with good farmers who had preceded them
in the work, and by observation and eX-
perience, what was necessary to be done
to keep up their farms.

Study OF Agriculture in the Schools

One thing essential in this country, if
we would maintain the fertility of Ameri-
can soil. is that the youth of the land should
be taught more about the science of agri-
culture in our schools and more of agri-
culture ard less of Greek and Latin and
French. As our schools are at present
conducted, the whole tendency of the
teaching is to encourage young men to be-
come lawyers. doctors, ministers, account
ants. insurance agents. etc. as they are
biased in that direction. Agriculture, the
foundation and Keystone of all national
success and prosperity, as well as of the
prosperity and comfort and happiness of
all the people of the country, is scarcely
ever given thought by the teachers of
our schools, nor by the majority of those
who make our discretionary Rural

Back Again in the Republican Fold by
 aSweepIng Maj Ority.
 PROVIDENCE, April 4.-The election of State officers is sweep ping..victory for the Republicans and the majority will run up to nearly 2,000. The city of Pawtucket sends full Republican delegation of six represen- tatiyes and Q senator and the big town of Woonsocket sends full Re publican delega- ton ot five representatives and senator. With two or three exceptions, where the Democrats retained their hold or where there was no election, the Republicans have re- gained every town lost last year. One town that has always been Republican through thick and thin was captured by the Demo crats through local issues and personal feel ings. The gubernatorial ticket is elected with little variation in the vote of any of the candidates. The independent opposition to the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor was largely offset by special efforts in his behalf in Kent county where he is @ large mill owner. In this city the full strength of the colored vote was called out by the fact that there was a representative of the race on both the Repub- lican and Democratic tickets. The exact status of the assembly cannot be given on ac- count of the failure of the election in New port and 8 couple of towns. When complete the assembly in grand committee has 1oS members. The Republicans now have 62 members.
 The city of Providence gave Taft between two and three hundred majority.
 It is thought now that several if not all of the assembly nominees in this city have failed of election. Nothing but an official count can surely decide. The Republican majority in the assembly will still be good without them.
