The leal OF greenhouse keepers TO get

where they were originally planted, the
roots become cramped, and unless water

Uses OF Hot Water

Hot water is one of the best amoug sim
Pile remedies, says The Ladies' Home
Journal. For instance, headache almost
always yields to the simultaneous appli-
cation Of hot water to the feet and back
Of the neck.
A towel folded several times, and dip
ped in hot water, and quickly wrung out
and applied over the tDothache or eural.
LA, will generally afford prompt relief.
A strip of flannel, or napkin folded
lengthwise, and dipped In hot water and
wruDg out, and then applied round the
neck of child that has the Group, will
sometimes bring relief in ten minutes
Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bedtime, Is helpful in the case If
constipation and has Il most soothing
feet upon the stomach.
goblet of hot water taken just ate
rising, before breakfast, has cured thou
sands of indigestion, and no simple re-
medy is more widely recommended by

A towel under a chopping- bowl will
deaden the sound.
Subjecting gelatine to high tempera,
ture for long time causes strong taste.
Banging the oven door while bread is
baking sometimes causes d dark streak In
the loaf.
Old white muslin may be utilized in
busters or cleaning cloths.
The flavor of lemon lies In the color
ed portion of the rind.
A soap box covered with cretonne
serves as a rest and receptacle for
shoes.
The appearance of bolls is sometimes
prevented by taking six drops of turpen-
tine daily for week.
The scales on camellia leaves cen be re-
moved by brushing, then spraying with a
strong lotion OF whale.oil soap.
To secure few drops of onion Juice
strike the side Of peeled onion with the
back of knife several times, then press
nut the juice with the blade.
For excessive Precipitation of the feet
Try one part OF burned alum and two parts
If glycerlne rubbed on the feet at night &;
wear an open sock. In the morning the
feet should be washed In tepid water.
On visit to England, Prof. J. Macy
wrote to the Oh Farmer that he Was spe-
c'ally struck with the English idea Of
adapting the herd to the soil. "On the
nigh plain you will see one breed Of
sheep; few miles away on low alluva
farm an entirely different breed, and o
farmer would not think of changing the
sheep from one farm to the other" The
same idea extends to dairy stock When
farmer moves from one section to an.
pther, he sells his stock and buys that
which is considered peculiarly adapted to
the locality to which he moves. The pro-
lessor says: nThe Deyonshire COW Is Al.
most the exact color of the red soil Of
Devonshire. A dairy woman told mc
that they had tried other breeds for milk,
hut they found none so well suited as the
native red cows They improve the stock
not by the importation of foreign ami.
mails, but by selecting the best from ma
tive breeds" There can be no question
hut that some breeds of animals do better
In some sections than In others, and that
every breed has It's habitat, SO to speak,
In which 1t fourishes better than other
breeds. When Americans learn to apply
this principle OF adaptation, we shall
probably have less dispute about the supe-
riorty Of breeds.

SA'S IS GUARANTEED TO CURE
Keepir g MIX Sweet

One of the first things to do after milk
Is drawn and strained is to get it cooled
to the temperature Of the surrounding all
as quickly as possible. There are germs
of fermentation even in the purest milk
that need only II brief time of new milk
temperature to develop so far that entire
putrefactiop cannot be prevented. At
ter cooling quickly by surrounding the
can containing the milk with ice, put the
milk into glass jars, and iilling full, seal,
to prevent contact with the air. Milk
thoroughly cooled can thus be kept TWEEN
ty-fuur and even thirty-six hours in good
condition for use. Some cream will rise
during this cooling process. and this
should be removed. MIX should never be
placed in closed vessels until what is
called It's animal heat has been taken from
it, Put in cans perfectly warm, and il
soon becomes extremely offensive.

ManuriBg for Wheat.

a Missouri correspondent, writing to
the New York World, says: One Of the
best plans of applying manure to wheat
is to plow reasonably early after the
harvest work is finished. Take pains to
pillow deep and thoroughly; then haul
out and apply all the manure possible.
Scatter it evenly over the surface.
The work of properly preparing the
soil to receive the seed will usually work
the manure sufficiently INFO the soil.
There Is usually very little time for haul
ing manure after the spring work fairly
begins until after harvest, 50 that there
should Re a considerable quantity that
can be hauled ont and applied with profit.
If commercial fertilizers are to be APP
piled, the most economical plan is TO
use the fertilizer attachment to the drill
The work can be done at less expense
than in any other way. 1t can be scat
tered broadcast by hand, but this in
creases the work very materially. Ma
nure or fertilizers with wheat should al

commercial fertilizer or stable manu- d
Is used. As it Is difficult TO secure n suf-
fcient amount of stable manure to keep
up fertility, 1t is a good idea to apply
the stable manure to such crops as corn
and grass and use commercial fertilizer
with wheat and potatoes.

Broche tapestry reveals brighter tints in

IsefGl Household Items.

The fashion OF using Il canton flannel
cloth under tie linen tabiecioth Is a very
desirable one. 1t prevents noise when

fine linen cloths, making them last longer,
and gives body to an old or thin cloth
Most people in cleaning lamp chimneys

are liable TO scratch the glass, making it
break more readily when expanded by the

When washing fine white flannels add a
