There are certain simple facts in re-
gard to the care of the SICK tina. every
young girl should know before she is
called upon to preside over a home of
her own. Physicians say there are few
women who are capable of making
poultice, cup of beef tea, or a piece of
toast properly. If one has never had
the care of an invalid, there may be some
excuse for not knowing practically how
to make a pOu.tice, but one can at least
inform herself as far as the theory goes.
sold, clsmmy poGltice is positively
harmful.
To make linseed poultioe pour
quantity of warm water into a tin basin,
stand on the back of the rauge, and scat
ter in the linseed meal, stirring with
knife until of a proper consistency. In
the use of the water you N ust be govern
ed by the size of the poUltice required.

If too wet, 1t IL damp and uncomfortable.

Now take a clean piece of old muslin

the poultlce Is TO be, spread 1t with the
mixtu cover with another piece of
muslin, and quickly haste over an inch

from the hot dish on which it should be

TO fasten it on, do This with folds cf
bandaging, and cover with compress of

silk is less clumsy and will keep moisture
from the bed clothes.
There are many different formulas for
preparing beef tea, but the sim plest and
1 best is as follows; Cover one pound OF
( lean beef from the round with pint OF
cold water Have the butcher chop It
/ fine as for Hamburger steak; beat II III
the water with silver fork for ten
minutes; place over the fire, simmer for
twenty minutes, strain and set aside TO
cool, in order TO remove any little flakes
of fat that may form, When ready to
serve, make it hot, season with salt only,
and serve with thin, brown toast or little
wafer crackers.

The rutabagas are the fsvorites for a
general crop, as they yield largely and
are good winter keepers. Lay the rows
straight With a marker, with room be-
tween them for the use of a horse, hoe or
light cultivator. The seed csa be put in
more regularly with a seed drill than by
hand, aud should be in clusters, far
enough apart TO admit of hoeing between
the clusters. The object of dropping the
seed ir clusters is TO allow for the plants
that may be destroyed by the fly. It may
happen that thinning the plants ont will
be necessary, which, however, is better
than running the risk OF but few plants.
Plenty of seed should therefore be used.
After the plants are used up, and passed
the tender stage, the crop can be easily
cultivated with one horse, provided q
good hoeing is first given the rows.
Turuips are grown so quickly and so
late in he season that they are almost =
sure crop when many others fail. The
yield Is very large, and their keeping
qualities are excellent. Though largely
com posed of 'er, with nutritive
value low compared with grain and hay,
yet their suCculence and suik, in the
winter season, place them high in rhe
list OF food, as effording an agreeable
change from the dry food of winter, and
when fed in com. elton with grain the
combination Civ, better results than
when grain or turnips are fed separately.
They can be kept in pits outside the barn,
but it Is better TO store them in the barn
cellar for convenience of access in very
cold weather.

companions, and they owe it all to their
mothers careful training from their baby

in the South.
WHY GO TO DELAND AND LAKE HELEN

We reply, because they are not only two of the
most delightful places in Florida, but are uni
versally conceded to be among the healthiest
places in the Union.
DeLand, in Volusia county, is located on the j.,
T. K W. Ry., about 100 miles south OF Jackson
vile, in one of the best orange growing sections
of the State It occupies the middle Of large
plateau that is twenty miles long and five wide,
originally covered with yellow pine forest and
dotted with small, clear lakes. The soil is well
suited to fruit and vegetable raising and the or
ange plantations are peculiarly thrifty; indeed
the town presents the appearance of o great villa
situated in the midst of a luxurious orange grove
Lake Helen is five miles from DeLand

desire the education of their children to be carried

Land has an Academy, which is in reality a Col

third story of the University building was that it
was witho exception the prettiest in Florida.
