To stop hiccough, take a lump Of sugas
saturated with vinegar.
Old napkins and old tablecloths make
the very best of glasscloths.
All fresh meat should be put to boil in
hot water, but for soup in cold.
Zinc is best cleaned with hot, soapy
water, then polished with kerosene.
It is well to keep large pieces of char
coal in damp corners and in dark places.
Oilcloth can be kept bright for years if
properly vanished each season with any
good siccative.
If the hands are rubbed on a stick of
celery after peeling onions the smell will
be entirely removed.
Tubs will not warp or crack open if the
precaution is taken to put pail of water
into each directly after use.
If soap is purchased in large quantities
and kept in a warm, dry place, half tie
usual amount will be required.
The flesh of good veal is firm and dry,
and the joints stiff. The flesh of good
lamb and mutton is red, and the fat very
firm and white.
To keep eggs fresh, as soon as they are
taken from the nest rub them entirely over
with butter, and put them in cool place
and they will keep good for months.
A simple remedy for neuralgia is to ap-
ply grated horse radish to the temple,
when the face or head is affected, or to
the wrist when the pain is in the arm or
shoulder. Prepare the horse radish in the
same manner as for table use.
If tablespoonful of kerosene is put

To make an impermeable glue soak ordi-
nary glue in water until it softens, and
remove it before it has lost it's primitive
form. After this dissolve it in 1inseed oil
over slow fire until it is brought to the
consistency of a jelly. This glue may be
used for joining any kinds of material. In
addition to strength and hardness it has
the advantage of resisting the action of
water.
Fish should frequently be brought into
the dietary. It is easy of digestion, and
rich in phosphorus, which is required by
the brain. Delicious, fresh country eggs
are almost equal to any meat, and can be
cooked in a variety of ways. Vegetables,
fresh and well cooked in plenty, and a
wise selection of cereals and bread and
plenty Of milk, will give materials for any
number of changes and combinations.

Farm Notes.

Better feed a litter more often than
over-feed and have some wasted.
A lamb yield of one hundred per cent
is reported to have been reached by some
Montana hockmasters.
Feeding the colts oats rather than corn
will help to secure a better development
of muscles rather than of fat.
It is more profitable to spend twenty
five cents worth of time and Judgment in
prevention than it is to spend dollar in
cure.
An hour spent in thinking out the best
plan to accomplish certain piece of work,
is worth a whole day in the use of blind
muscle to execute the same work.
When you can't pillow corn or thresh
wheat, it would be paying job to haul
the big pile of manure away from your
barn lot and scatter it on weak spots.
Generally the pigs that return the best
profit are the ones that are ready to
market in the shortest time. This implies
quick growth and an early maturity.
There is no economy and no money in
it to let rusty trace chain or a broken
collar chafe sore on a horses side or
shoulder, and finally lose its services for
ten days at least.

morning and stepped around among q

And Grandmother Beinan sank down

Toms mother, with a worried look on
her face. Il wouldn't have come home
this summer to you, if l had known

Toms mother stood at the door,
looking out across the field where the
men were at work; and the sweet scent
of new-mown hay filled all the air.
But she was not thinking of the men,
nor of the fresh summer fragrance. If
she had been anyone but Toms moth

was, she thought only of Tom. 1t GER
