Hints to Housekeepers.


In watering plants put little am.
monia into the water once week.
MIXTURES of two parts of glycerine,
one part ammonia ana little rose water
whiten and soften the hands.
A FEW drops of ammonia in cup of
warm rainwater, carefully applied with
a wet sponge, will remove the spots from
paintings and chromos.
PIECES of cheese cloth make the very
best kind of busters. Hem the edges
and have large enough supply SO that
one set can be washed each day.
EQUAL parts of ground mustard and
-four made into a paste with warm water,
and spread between two pieces of mus
lin, forms the indispensable mustard
plaster.
For freckles, put tablespoonful of
borax into u pint of hot water, and ap-
ply it hot to the face; sponge the face
for ten minutes and frequently repeat
the process.
To POLISH slate floors, use a smooth,
fiat piece of pumice- stone, then polish
with rotten stone. Washing we'll with
soap and water is usually enough to
keep the states clean, but by adopting
the above method, not only do the states
become polished, but any stains are
taken out.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
use For OLA Newspapers.

mere are numerous ways OF using old
newspapers SO that they may be of more
use than lighting the fires.
Clean out the rack each day if many
papers come into the house, but some
times once week is often enough where
few papers are used. Place the super
huous papers in pile, tie them together
and put aside for use when wanted.
tut the large sized papers and those
printed on heavy paper in one pile, and
the small sizes and those of soft paper
in another. Put both aside, vet have
them in some convenient place SO they
may be found easily when wanted for
use, also that they may be added to each
clearing out. Tie the string that holds
them together in loop knot, so it can
be undone when adding to it's contents.
The large, heavy papers are excellent
for laying under carpets, many prefer
ring them to the patent cerpet lining.
The latter, unless some preventive is
put under the carpet, will, in close
weather, breed moths, but with the
newspaper there is little danger from
these pests, rs the printers ink is very
obnoxious to them, and they much pre-
fer keeping at some distance away. We
have used both papers and lining under
carpets, and our experience enables us
These heavy, large papers are nice for
cutting out patterns. more especially of
children's garments. If one paper is not
large enough in itself for an extra-sized
pattern, fasten two together, using flour
paste, put aside, and when dry cut out
the pattern wanted. Muc1lage can be
used for this purpose, but is not as good
as the paste, as it does not leave the
jointure as smooth. Many home dress
makers use these patterns altogether fer
their cutting. For closet shelves and to
lay in the bottom of bureau drawers they
are excellent, and when packing trunk
always begin by laying one of these
heavy papers at the bottom on the in
side.
The soft papers can be used moro gem
orally, as every day they may figure in
some part of the housework. After
securing the tins thoroughly, they can
be made to look very nice by rubbing
briskly with soft newspaper, which gives
q polish that nothing else will. Lamp
chimneys after being washed and dried
may be rubbed with newspaper for the
final gloss. Many women wash their
lamp chimneys but very seldom, keeping
them looking nice by breathing into
them and wiping with soft newspaper.
After steel knives have been cleaned,
they can be given an added gloss by
rubbing hard with newspaper. For
sweeping carpets there arc few things
will take up the dust as thoroughly as
dampened newspaper. First wet the
paper thoroughly, thenssqueeze out as
much of the water as possible. Pick the
damp paper into small bits and scatter
over the carpet to be swept. These par
ticles of paper, when sweeping, will
collect the dust and prevent it flying
about the room. A soft piece of news
paper is just the thing for rubbing owe,
the top of the range after cooking,
burning the paper when through with
it. Persons suffering from bronchial
affections are much benefited by wear
ing layer of newspaper across the
chest when going abroad in severe
weather.

THE DAIRY.
Feeding Standards.

Prof. Armsby, of the Pennsylvania
agricultural experiment station, in in
vestigations regarding the subject of
breed as effecting the richness of milk,
draws the following conclusions:
l. The quality of milk which COW
can produce depends upon her breed
and individuality, and in this sense the
milk is more dependent upon the breed
than upon the feed. On the other
hand, the quality of milk which any
given COW will produce is largely de-
pendent upon her feed.
2. BY feeding rich foods the proper
ton of butter-fat IN milk can be in
creased. The bulk of cream obtained
is dependent upon so many other cir
cumstances than feeding, that it affords
no safe guide as to the real effects of the
latter.
3. The standard rations given for the
feeding OF dairy cows presupposes that
the animals are good of their kind. On
the other hand, the standards are net
sufficiently exact to admit of modifca-
ton for each breed of COWS. The feed
ing standards are intended simply as
guides to rational feeding, to be modi-
fed in each particular case as expert
ence may show to be necessary.
These conclusions of the professor
are no DOUBT correct, and at the same
time they bring the whole matter of
feeding to the position that. after all,
with all the feeding returns that may be
proposed, the constitution of the ami
NAL, it's ability to assimilate food, re-
qulre the exercise of experience and
Judgment in the feeding, regardless of
any established ration. This is pre-
